DEMOCRATS
TO REDISTRICT
The STATES
One Important Result Of the
Election.
viii Knock Out Some Old Republican
GerFymandeFS and Enable Demo-
Gratis to Straighten Out Some Con-
QFeSSiORaI District Kinks.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 14.-The
fact that the State Legis atures c4osen
TUESDAY will represent in the various
States under this years census. will
be a distinct and perhaps important +
not an immediate advantage to the
Democratic party.
AS the great and usually doubtful
States Of New York, New Jerseg. Oaio
and Indiana elected Democratic legis-
.lfors, it VIII fall to the lot of those
bodies to rearrange the Congressional
districts in those States. The present
appointments in those States were
made by Republican Legislatures 10
years ago and the Congressional dis
tricts were so shaped that the Re-
publicans have had a decided adyan-
d3ge in the matter of electing members
of the House ever since. This advan-
tage was gained Fly a free but skillful
exercise of the gentle art of gerry
Wandering" and tie redistribution IF
the State of Pennsylvania is an espec-
tally fine example of what the Repub-
lidans did in that reappointment.
1T will now be the dutg of the Dem
ocratic Legislatures of New York, New
Jersey, Ohio and Indiana, as we'll as
West Virginia and some other States
that joined Tuesdays landslide to un-
dert3ke tie Encouragement of Congress
sional districts in accordance with the
new census and under the provisions of
tie Reappointment Act, which this
winters session of Congress must
pass in obedience to the mandates OF
the Constitution.
In doing this work the Democratic
Legislatures will naturally correct the
evils of the previous Republican ''ger-
mandery," and will thus deprive ta(
Republicans of the unfair advantage:
they have had for ten years in the
matter of electing members of con
gress. This will give TIE Democrats
a majority of the members Of the
House in the Sixty-third and subse
quent congresses and tend to increas'
their chances of remaining in powe
!, for a considerable period.

The right to dry the falling tear.
The right to quell the rising fear;

And whisper comfort in despair.
The right to watch the parting breath,
To soothe and cheer the bed of death /;
The right wien earthly hopes all fail
To point to that within the veil.
The right the wandering to reclaim,
And win the lost from paths of shame;
The right to comfort and to bless
The widow and tie fatheirleSs.
The right the little ones to guide
In simple faith to Him who died;
With earnest love and gentle praise
To bless and cheer their youthful days.
The right the intellect to train,
And guide the soul to noble aim;-
Teach it to rise above eaTtth's toys,
And wing it's flight to heavenly joys.
The right to live for those We love.
The right to die, that love to prove;
The right to brighten earthly homes
With pleasure smiles and gentle tones
Are these thy rights Then use then

Thou hast enough to answer for.

would avoid bitter struggle among

BEFORE THE RAIN.

(By Thomas Bailey Aldrich)
We knew it would rain, for all the
morn
A spirit on slender ropes of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down
Into the vapory amethyst
Of marshes and swaanps and dismal
fens-
Scooping the dew that lay in the
rOwers,
Dipping the jewels out of the sea,
TO s1rinkle them over the land N
showers.
We knew it would rain, for the poplars
shOW'd
The w2tte of their leaves; the amber
grain
shrunk in the wind; and the lightning
now
Is tangled in tremalous skeins Of
rain.

EVIDENCE in
BATHTUB MYSTERY CASE.

After a weeks jaunt through the
South in Pullman parlor cars, Prose-
cutor Wilbur A. Mott got ION the job
again in his office today. The ostensi-
BILE purpose of the trip was to get evil
dence IN the East Orange bathtub
mystery for the State, Its trial is set
for April IL, when the three Wardlaw
sisters will appear before Chief JUS
tice Gummere, in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer, to answer to the charge
of the murder of Mrs. Ocey C. M.
Snead.
Prosecutor Mott refused to say what
he had learned on the trip, as far as
getting evidence is concerned, and con-
fined himself simply to the statement
that he visited cities in Virginia. Ken
lucky and Tennessee. He even re-
fused to say what towns in those
States he had visited, and remarked
that in view of the circumstances of
the case that it would not be proper
to do SO.
With Mr.. Mott on the trip, which
was ended last night, were former As
sistant Prosecutor Louis Hood, who
will help him in the trial of the case,
and Detective Hargan, attached to his
staff. 1t is the first time in the Grim
inal history of the county that a prose-
cutor has left it's confines for the
avowed purpose of getting evidence.

who on March 6 suffered the loss of his
wife, and to raise sufficient funds to
give her a decent burial was forced to

the mortgage were embodied in a check
for 81. 505.2 20, which he lost in a pocket
book containing the wedding ring of
his wife and SIT.

pocket of his overcoat when he made a
trip downtown to attend to some bust
ness, and when he returned home it
had gone, leaving him with his wife's
mother and two little children prac-
tically penniless. He is advertising for
the lost property and feels keenly the
loss of the wedding ring. which has for
him great sentimental value.
