According to law, the late
census makes it necessary to
have a new deal in defining the
congressional districts, both in
number and territory. AS now
organized we have II members.
and it may be possible to cut us
down from II members in Con.
gress to 10, or even less in the
new apportionment. When it
is determined by Congress just
what population is necessary to
entitle thepeople to a Congress :
man, then we may be able 10
determine the number of men,
bers | IVA will be entitled 10.
Our loss in population n ay
be of more Sc rious Importance to
the State than at first supposed.
The Legislature will have the
important work of re disricting
the State, according to the new
Census, and taking the history
Of the past in this State on the
formation of Representative
Districts, we find that such re-
districting depended more upon
the political complexion of the
Legislature than population in
the territory in the district.
The Republican part in Iowa
always so Geremandered the
State so as to keep themselves in
the majority in the Legislature,
and in Congress, but with the
lesson of the last election be-
fore them, we may reasonably
hope for an honest dea, in fix
ing the new districts in accor-
dance with law, without politi-
cal consideration, let the num-
Der be II or 10 or even less.

Piling Taken From Susquehanna

Under orders from the Secretary of
War the b. & O. r. r. management,
has removed the piling from under its
lew bridge, over the Susquehanna, at
Havre de Grace Some of the piles
were below and others projected above
the surface of the river. They were
used to support the false work of the
bridge and were not removed after its
completion, despite the protests Of
Mayor Armstrong, OF Port Deposit, to
the War Department and the State
Board OF Public Works. The pres
ence OF the piles in the river, residents
of Port Deposit argued, contributed
largely toward swelling the damages
from the flood there last winter.

made at the request of Judge Nutter and
a report made to the effect that the
woman is not suffering from any form
of lung trouble and is in genera! good
health, fully able to stand trial for a

photographs OF the prisoners lungs were
taken. The woman was found to be
suffering from slight pharyngitis, or
irritation of the throat. This is, how
ever, not dangerous disease. 1t is
the general opinion OF the officers that
the prisoner is endeavoring to obtain
sympathy for herself by appearing
feeble and the woman coughed con-

The Probation Case

Since the publication in the Prospect
last week, of the conditions of the pro-
baton in Amador county case, we have
been surprised at the wide interest eX-
pressed in the matter. We believe this
was the first time in any of the neigh
boring counties, that the new law has
been applied in a serious case, and the
general opinion seems to be that graet
step has been taken in the way of re-
forming criminals. 1t seems to be par
ticularly fortunate that Judge Wood, in
this case should make the terms of the
probation so explicit, and at the same
time so binding that there is no pre-
MUM offered for the commission OF
crime. The young man in this case,
cannot consider himself free man till
the term of his probation expires. He
is in the hands of the law as he should
be for his crime. Bit instead of being
herded with confirme criminals the
to complete his education, and come out
a curse to society and himself, he is
given chance to reform, and lay the
foundation for an honest life. When
his term expires, instead Of stepping
forth naked, and poverty stricken, ready
for the first criminal job at hand, with
which to secure the means of susten
ance, he will, if he has we'll followed
the conditions of his probation, find
himself with comfortable little sum
money saved up, a habit of labor
formed, and will be in condition to con-
tinue in honest employment with his
record cleared of all shame and infamy.
There is something worth looking
ahead to. To be sure he must work, but
he works with the promise of reward.
In prison he would work. too, and with
nothing to show for it at the end of his
term, but a blasted name and a crm-
nal record.
