The second is to place a limit to
Chicago's representation.
The occasion for this is the rapid
growth of the city, and the certainty
that soon, perhaps by the date of the
next federal census, Chicago's popula-
ton will equal or exceed that of the
balance of the state. thus making the
city the absolute ruler. Last year at
the regular session there was talk of
this, and the Chicago newspapers be-

The senate shall consist as now of
members chosen from single districts

500 Reward. S1nn.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages. and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer one
hundred dollars reward for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.

enact legislation unjust to either sec
ton.
Not having az hand a table of the
population by counties | cannot work
this out in detail, nor is it worth while
till the census returns are in. But ii
is reasonably certain that the house
thus apportioned will consist of about
the same number as now, and that
Cook county will have to approximate
100000 people before it can over
rule the rest of the state.
Only in one instance will this ar
rangement fail TO be impartial-when
the two houses meet in joint session
to elect United States senator. And
the remedy is at han6-elect by popu-
lar vote. This will turn the scale in
favor of the city. An amendment to
the constitution will at the same time
repeal the present plan and put into
effect the new one.
