ANOTHER DISCOTERER.

Governor FoSS of Massachusetts Is 20
busy nowadays criticising the views and
activities of other people that he has no
time TO set his own thoughts on poll
tics in order. Some of his recent utter
ances disclose j most capacious igno-
rance of the rudiments of POLITICAL knowl-
edge. When he resigned from Congress
to become Governor of Massachusetts he
was quoted as expressing regret that his
retirement came too late to allow him
r. name. as Governor, a successor to
represent the 14th Congress District
until March next. Evidently he
thought that accidental vacancies in
the lower house could be flied, as such
vacancies in the Senate are, by eXecu-
tive appointment
In his message TO the Legislature last
week this passage occurs:
The federal law requires the redis-
tricting of the state at this time. Inc
purpose of this provision is not only 10
insure a fair Congressional apporuon-
ment, but to guarantee that the peop'e
shall be equitably represented IN the
state Legislature.
If Congress passes a reapportionmeht
law at this session, the Legislature ol
Massachusetts. should it be in session NJ
that time, could properly rearrange the
Congress districts, if it saw nit to do So
But it would not be required TO rear
range them by any federal law now in
existence. The Massachusetts, Leglslat-
IRE meets every year, and as new
House of Representatives is not 10 pe
chosen until November. 1872. 1t WouId
he lust as practicable to make tne ap'
portionment next winter as this winter
= Moreover. if Congress passes law
which does not increase or decrease the
renreseutation of Massachusetts 1t Would
/ he no defiance of federal authority 70
leave the present district boundary lines
unchanged for another decade. Some
states obtaining added representation
have allowed the old district lines 70
stand and elected the additional mem
her or members at large. In fact, the
states have always enjoyed liberal lali'
tude in making apportionments Of repre-
septation in Congress the federal law

gerrymandering.
Mr.. Foss is also the first statesman 10
discover that any federal law controls
+he anportionment for state Legislature.
state Legislature is responsible TO no
authority outside the state IN drawing
the boundaries of legislative districts
It's work can be reviewed In detail III
the state courts and the Supreme Court
can also review it if the claim Is mace
that II is attempting TO deny repre-
sentation of any sort to the people ana
thus setting up an unrepubllcan form VI
| government. But the nation has no con
Germ whatever with the ordinary proc
esses of apportiOning membership IN a
state Legislature. If Mr.. Foss Keeps OF
he will discover that Massachusetts can
negotiate a reciprocity treaty with tht
Dominion of Canada and set up tarln
system for its own exclusive use Mas

Itsly's new electoral bill, which seems
not unlikely to become law. is one Of the
most interesting of all recent proposals
for suffrage reform. IT makes the fran
chise dependent upon ability TO read and
write, such capacity being proved by the
sending in OF self-written applicat ation
and by reading and writing prescribed
piece of matter In the presence Of a
commission composed Of school in
spector. a school teacher and two munc-
ipaI councillors. And when a mans
capa city is thus proved he not only may
but must vote, under penalty Of s. fine
for the first failure to vote. and for the
second fine Of SO and exclusion from
any public office for five years. As might
be expected. the Socialists bitterly op-
pose the bill, but the prospect is that it
will he enacted, and that thus q peculiar
" interesting experiment will be made.
