There is always more or less talk of coercion in elections, but it may fairly be said that this is impossible nowadays so far, ps organized labor is concerned. If tho off cers of the Federation of Labor and of the local unlons, discovered that a man had been discharged for political reasons they would order strike instantly, They would recognize ao better cause. Employers oi labor know this, and they know al so that if they attempt in the slight est degree to exert pressure upon their men tor political purposes the effect would be exactly contrary to what was intended.

 The Census returns show some surprising facts as regard the reap portionment in the House of Re
 personalities. Of course. no one knows how many members there will be. Congress settles this aud then divides the. number selected into the total population of ths United States. The qnotient is the 'bssis of Representation" and, divided into the population ol each State. gives the number oi Representatives allotted to it. Supposing, however, that Congress decides to keep the total number az it.is, 1t is obvious that some States will gain ana some / lose one or mere members, and here is where the surprise comes in.> Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Minaesota, Eouisl
 ana, West Virginia, New Jersey and New York will each gain B member, while Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Ken lucky. South Carolipa,- Virginia and Maine will each lose one. That is, the south and the far west will each lose one, while the east and the center will each gain one.

As IS generally known, the Lacy Act prohibits the transportation by interstate commerce of game kill ed m violation of local laws. This act supplements existing State laws by prohibiting the shipment from one State to another of birds kill cd in violation of local laws and by subjecting birds brought into & State 10 the same restrictions as those prescribed for birds produced within the State. In order to ob- servo thiS law iatelligently, & know ledge of local laws is essential. The Department of Agrlculture is therefore, making a complication of the various State laws as relate to sale and transportation and has prepared tables showing close sea- sons, species prohibited from sale and shipment, and requirements in regard to nonresident licenses. As it will be several weeks before this bulletin will be ready, circular containing tho tables of close sea- sons, shipment and sale, and other information has been prepared and is now ready for distribution.

THE SONG OF THE DRUMS.
Bertrand shadwell in Chicago Record.

Bertrand shadwell in Chicago Record. We are naught but little brass kettle, With tight little cover at top Just circle of sheepskin and metal And pair of quick drumsticks a hop And We make quite the poorest of m usic, Just a rythmicaI rattle and hum;
 Yet there's never stave
 Tn the heart of the brave But resounds to the beat. of the drum, There's witchcraft concealed. Tn our hollow;
 There's mystery hid in our round; For We beat, and men cannot but follow Keeping time with their feet on the ground,
 With dream and a glamour of glory = Like 8 wave of the ocean it comes
 As We sing and We say,
 "Ceine awayI come awayI Follow mel Follow mel" say the drums. We tap and we hum and we matter; We throb to the scream of the fife; And at every note that weutter The scarlet blood leapsinto life; We roll and we crash and we thunder, Like the roar ere the avalanche comes;
 And there's many lad,
 So gallant and glad. Who's been caught by tho song of the
 drums.
 When We rattle lively chorus
 To the long shining column a-wind With the cavalry wsltzing before Us, And the foot doing two-step behind As we pass thru the streets of the city, Not heart to our music but thrumsr
 And for all-the long way
 Not horse in dray But will dance to the. time ofthe drums. When the guns are unlimbered for action,
 And the men for the slaughter a-chafe, Yet the hell must attend for fraction Till the drummers are slowed away safe Thoagh the ranks nay be reeIing and broken, When the charge like thandercIap
 comes; Though the roads may be red,
 And the officers dead. You can run to the tune Of the drums.

SEPTEMBER 18TH.

fJNl DIN lO4 H.
Mr.. A. NJ. Clemence. the newly
elected general secretary of the Nor
folk Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. will arrive In the city from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. on Wednesday or Thurs
day of next week to begin his work
here. He will be accompanied by his
wife and daughter. Mr.. Clemence and
family will stop for While with As
sstant Secretary Ambrose Page at the
latter's home. 4iS Hamilton avenue.
Mr.. Clemence is a native of Augusta.
Ga. Southern man by birth, educa-
ton and residence. He was general
years and a half and five years gene
raj secretary at Fremont. Neb. He has
also served short engagements with
Minneapolis, Mimi, and one or two
other associations. He has been in his
present field at Cedar Rapids. Iowa, for
two years.
Mr.. Clemence comes to the Norfolk
association highly recommended and,
no doubt. will prove IL very acceptable
secretary. The association is to be
fsit { n
strong man TO fill the position that
means so much to the association and
to the city in general.
VI MT. tleIneICe the Evening Ga
zette. of Cedar Rapids, in its issue of
August 2lst says:
ut was with general regret that the
friends OF Secretary A. NJ. Clemence,
of the Y. NJ. C. a.. and of the associa-
ton itself. received the announcement
through the Gazette yesterday that Mr..
Clemence had rendered to the Board of
Directors of the association his resg-
nation as secretary OF the Cedar Rapids
organization. A talk with the secretary
this morning shows that he too feels
sorry to find it necessary to take the
.tep which will take him away from
Cedar Rapids and the many friends
they have made during the two and
one-half years he and his wife have
been residents of this city.
"It is entirely 4 question of the
health of Mrs. Clemence.' said the sec
rotary. This climate or some other
condition doesn't appear to be agreea-
bic. and while the illness is nothing
serious. the change to the Virginia
climate. where I will have charge OF
the association work at Norfolk, will
no doubt bring the relief we seek. II is
surely not a question of salary that
takes me away from Cedar Rapids. l

were the question involved, and. as far

to be at its best. Mr.. Clemence found
only 1877 names enrolled in all the de-
partments of the association. At the

attendance is the smallest and the In
terest at the lowest ebb. the member
ship in all departments is 4S5. At other
seasons of the year this figure is con-
siderably larger Last year $1,000 was
paid on the indebtedness of the asso-

considerable extent by the close of the
