We fully agree with Bro. p w. Morris
of the State Journal that the Legislature
should redistrict for the additional con-
gresham should one be added to our
number.
The plan of our government does not
contemplate the election of congressman
at large by the States, when they have
the opportunity to legislate in accord
ance with constitutional requirements
If it be right to elect one at large why not
elect all, and make sure of the result
where you have the majority in the State.
Had the trainers of the consti ution
thought it best to have two Senators in
one house, and one in the other, they
would have so provided
Members Of the House are selected to
represent the people not the State. We
have senators for that purpose. Let the
State be re-districted.

DIXIE DOODLE
Our great EcHauna, Uncls sam
Did SET 20 gard our nation
Columbia, like a frislzy lamb.
Went out on a vacation
Britannia crossed the briny deep
To see her erring daughters
She found Columbia fast aslsep-
In that sad plight she caught her.
Chorus
The South was singing -Dizie's Land,
The North sang Yankee Doodle; -
Britannia collared Uncle Sam
And used him as her poodle.
Says Brit: sTou stubborn, wayWard child,
am glad 10 ind you sleeping7
You've got your mothers temper uiled,
N break MP your housekeeping"
She put collar on Macs neck,
And named him Master BOOdle;"
BE nov comes at her coll and beck,
In spite Of Dixie Doodle.
Columbia's big boys hooked around,
And formed a gold-bug party
They soOoped In everything they found
Their appetities were hearty.
They drove the smaller children out,
To go without their dinners;
And put the striking boys 20 r0ut.
Them awful gold-bug sinners.
They swept the treasury lockers clean
To please Rothschild, the Baron,
And made our soldiers awful lean
By feeding them on carrion-
That made them play, through IRE and food
On Gatling's big pianos,
And fed our Eagle on the blood
OF slaughtered FilipinOs-
They then prepared a slaughter pen
And got great Wanamaker
To bury all our business men
He was their undertaken.
They tied our Eagis 20 the tail
OF that old British Lion,
And made those children weep and vail
Who dared 20 follow Bryan.
Columbia svoke and said:
You boys are acting funny
Why who has painted this town red9'
And where is all my money!
Says Judas Hanna: DO not scOldi
We found the combination
We got the grecnbaclrs and the gold
We've ruined the whole nation"
Columbia frowned and took her broom,
And sand: IN do some sweeping.
Hereafter I must stay at home
And do my own housekeeping"
She swept until the house was free
From ROld-bugs, jews and traitors,
Then she invited into tea
Her Bryan GladiatOrs.

BROKEN BRI6-H-BRH6S.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man Of New
York, explains some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements. for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best materials ever discovered and other man
ufacturers do not use them, because they are too
expensive and no not allow large profits. Mr..
u ajOr tells Us that one of the elements Of his
cement costs >. l5 a pound, and another costs
SO q gallon, while a large share OF the So
called cements and liquid glue upon the market
are siLteen-cent glue, dissolved IN water OF cit
nc acid, and, IN some eases, altered slightly IN
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries TO sell a substitute You can depend upon
II that his only object Is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement IS as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this Is dOuhly true In view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit of Mr.. Maj
or's advertising, which now amounts to over
5000 a month. throughout the country. Estab-
lShed In 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
Otf-haud advice from a druggist.
If you are at all handy land you viii be likely
to md that you are good deal more 50 than
you lmaglnel You can repair your rubber boots
and family shoes, and any other rubber and
leather articles, with Majors Rubber Cement
and Majors Leather Cement.
And You VIII be surprised at how many dol
lars a year you viii thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, it vii be
forwarded by mail; either kind, free Of postage.
