.v. D. C. , Jan. 11. The republi
can principle of reciprocity , ns embraced In
the McKinley net and practiced by the
present administration , Is assailed for the
llrnt lima by the democrats this session In a
y rosolutlor. which Koprosontatlvo Brcekln-
\\Jf \ \ ridge of Kentucky asked unanimous consent
to oiler In the house todny. This resolution ,
which Is the .subject of L'roa * , discussion tonight -
night , nnd the Introduction of which was ob-
jcctcil to by Mr. Burrows of the republican
side , recites the letters written by the secro-
tnry of stnto by dlractiou of tbo protldout to
the diplomatic representatives of Venezuela.
Nicaragua , Colombia , Honduras and other
nations , calling nttentlon to the reciprocity
section of the McKlnloy act and stating that
tbo president deems the duties Imposed by
these countries to bo reciprocally unequal
nnd unronsonnbb , and that unless on or 'bo-
fore March 15 next , some satisfactory com-
merclnl arrangement is entered Into , the prtsl-
dent will Issue a proclamation suspending
the provision of the section , and
further recites that such ac-
tlon by tbo president \\ould bo
unconstitutional , onerous and unjust , nnd tu-
structs tbo committee on ways and moans to
report before February 2."i a bill repealing
the third joctlon of the McKlnloy act. Tbo
president is also authorized , without further
legislation , to declare the ports of the United
States free nnd open to nil the , products of
any nation of the American hemisphere upon
which no export duties nro imposed so long
ns such nation shall admit to its ports free of
all national , municipal and other taxes , flour ,
corn meal , and other breadstuff's , piosorvrd
meats , ilsb , vegetable ! ) nnd fruits , cottonseed -
seed oil , rico , lumber and agricultural un-
plomonts , etc. , or such other products as may
bo ngrocdupon.
ItellexeH U Unconstitutional.
' 'I bollovo. " said Mr. Breckinrldgo to an
Associated Press reporter , "that tbo third
section of the McKinley net Is unconstltu-
tiounl iu conferring upon the president the
power to impose taxes without congressional
action. I also bollovo that the retaliation
nllowcd in the net is not only unwise an re-
purds our relations , but is really burdcn-
> i uomo to our own citizens for it
V imposes duties which they have to pay. And
JAftoro this retaliatory nmasnro Is adopted
r > > .y as to certain nations , it makes an unjust
* Jiscrimlnutmn which may also not only bo
arbitrary , but may bo not free from corrup-
tlon. I therefore nm anxious to have that
clause of the McIClnloy act repealed ; and
while it may not bo possible to do it , I dcsiro
13 call tuo nttentlon of the country to this
in ensure , mid thought it might bo done by
connecting the movement lu the house with
the letter which Mr. Blnlno bad written und
which had been published nil ever the coun-
try. And yof , " continued Mr , Brnokiu-
ridge , "bi'ing in favor of tno freest possible
trndo consistent with the raising of the
needed revenue of tbo government , I ap-
pcndcd to the resolutions instructing
the committee on ways nnd means
to report the bill repealing the
third &octlou of tbo McKlnloy act , an
Instruction to report in lieu of ll-a true rocl-
proclty provision , bv which the president Is
'given the power , which undoubtedly is con-
Btltutional , to open the ports ot America to
the Droducts of such counliios as do make
true reciprocal arrangements with us. 1 do
not entirely ugrao with some of tbo leading
democratic statesmen ns to reciprocity
treaties and arrangements. There are crave
objections to them , but I think thorn better
than prohibitory tariffs. And if wo cannot
, onnct such revenue laws , 1 doslro that reclp-
Mrpcnl arrangements bo made as far ns they
zm bo with any or nil nations , believing that
every movement in favor of freer trade will
. qcrvo ns an oduc'itional process , accustoming
the country to bettor Views and practices in
> ur commercial relations
r - - ' > ' , < 1'uotH u More Liberal Provision.
*
"I was further led to offer this resolution
just nt this particular moment because the
committee on ways and moans haa not yet
luul time to become entirely orgnnl/cd nnd
got to work on the various propositions
which lnvo ) boon submitted to It , and by
selecting , nt this particular juncture , this
particular provision of the McKlnloy net I
might concentrate the attention of the country -
try upon it sopuratad frum the other provisions -
visions of the net. I selected , ns the recl-
procity provision to bo reported by tbo ways
end means committee , ono that had received
the sanction of a largo number , if. not , Indeed ,
of ill , the dcinocrntlo senators in the Flfty-
ilrst congress. And while there may bo
difference of opinion in our party as to the
extent to which It is to go , there is no difToi-
cnco among us that tlio provision adopted In
the McKlnloy bill ought to bo repealed and
that some liberal measure could bo well
ounctvd In lieu of It. "
Mr. Broeklnrldgo's resolution appears to
bo well received by the majority of the ways
, nml moans committee.
"i think very favorably of the proposition
l Mr. Breckluridgo , " said Chairman
Springer , "of course I cannot say what the
comiinttco niny decide to do lu the mnttor.
I nm In favor of reciprocity , but whether I
AVill bo willing to go to tbo extent provided
in tbo articles mentioned in the resolution , I
cannot say. That question , however , . Is amore
moro matter of detail nnd does not iirtoct , the
vital prlnciplu embodied In Mr Brcckln-
ridgo's resolution. "
Mr. Broculnrldgo of Kentucky , then
naked unanimous consent to offer tha rcsolu-
tlon nbovo described , but Mr. Burrows ot
Michigan , objected ,
Mr. Brccklnndgo then asked that It bo
referred to the committee on wnys and moans ,
Mr. Burrows repented tils objection.

States government to use both gold and sil
ver ns full legal tender money , either under
tbo ratio now existing In the United States ,
or under ono that may hereafter bo estab
lished by the United States alone , < or in
accord with other nations. It directs the
president to invite tbo governments of the
countries comprising the Latin union , so-
called , and of such other nations as he may
deem advisable , to join tbo United Status In
n conference , and to adopt a common ratio
between guld nnd silver for the purpose of

Wants L'rumpt Action Taken.
Mr. Teller said he had on the lltb of July
last presented to the senate and had referred
to the finance committee a similar resolution.
It bad slumbered in that committee until the
close of the session nnd ho was not over
confident that tbo present resolution would
receive nny moro attention. Ho believed in
an International agreement if it could bo
secured , but ho did not Intend to rest the case
entirely upon an in tarnation al agreement.
Ho was net prepared to surrender the effort
to secure free coinage and n full recognition
of silver In this country. An international
agreement could bo made. Ho wished no ono
to misunderstand bun , or supnoso that be
cause ho was in favor of u bi-uiotalllc agree
ment ho believed that the people of the
United States should sit dot\n and fold tholr
hands until such nn ngreumcnt was made ,
for ho did not so bollovo.
Mr. Stewart submitted a statement in con
nection with the resolution , which he had
offered lust week , instructing the judiciary
committee to inquire what further legislation
was necessary to secure the coinage of silver
provided for under the Bland net.
Mr. Mitchell naked Mr. Stewart if ho was
Quito certain that the act of IS'.K ) did not re
peal tbo portion of the act of 1373 ( the Bland
act ) which npplied to the act of 1S37.
Mr. Stewart replied that it certainly did
not. It only repealed a specific portion of the
act of 1878 that referring to the purchase of
from $ J,000OOJ to 4,000OJU of silver per
month leaving tbo rest of the act In force.
The resolution was referred to Iho finance

WASHINOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 11. Whether
( Jrcat Britain is or is not using her Influence
with Chili to bring about a sntisiactory set
tlement ot the Baltimore outrage Is ns yet a
matter of speculation , hut there nro abund
ant evidences that she Is showing tbo deepest
interest In the preparation for war r.vhlch
our country has boon making. Our naval
oniccrs have not fulled to dis
cover that two naval attaches of
tuo British legation In this city ,
Capt&ms William H. Way and O. C. Langley -
ley , have boon watching every movement of
the Navy department since the talk of war
with Chill first commenced. What these of
ficers have learned bnsi of course , boon duly
communicated to the homo government , nnd
those reports huvo doubtless been the moans
of convli clng tbo British authorities that tha
United States is in sober earnest in bor de
mand for reparation. .
'U is noticeable to these who have watched
the developments of the Chilian controversy
that the English influences In the direction
of peace commenced just after the i < aval at
taches bugnu familiarizing themselves with
our naval activity. Those attaches have
made personal visits to different places
throughout the country where work on war
materials is In progress. Only n few days
ago Captain Lungloy visited the Mare island
navy yards nnd Union Iron Works nt Snn
Francisco to see what truth there was In the
rumors of hurried work on the coast defense
vessel Monterey and other vessels. Upon
his return n day or two ago he told friends
that ho hud been on a few days' pleasure
trip to Now York , but this did not deceive
some of the unviil officers hero. Captain
Lancloy is too well known to naval ofllcors
'on the slope to mistake his Identity nnd ho
had not been in Snn Francisco many hours
before his presence and bis mission became
known to department officials.

Senator Mnndorson introduced a bill today
directing tbo secretary of the interior to have
surveyed without delay that portion of the
northern boundary ot Nebraska beginning
on the Koya Paha river and running easterly
to the main channel of the Missouri river ,
the Indian tltlo to the lands south of the
4Ud parallel of the north latitude , now
situated In Nebraska , having btcn extm-
cuishod and the proviso ( n the act of March
BS , ISs'J , having bean fully complied with. Ac
companying tbo bill is a letter from Land
Commissioner Carter referring to the urtlcio
in the bill of August last , on the subject of
tbo northern boundary of Nebraska , and
stating that the f.icts as sot forth by the bill
nro mainly correct. Commlsslonor'Cnrter
says that unrt of tbo boundary between Koya
Palm nnd tbo Missouri rivers , about fifty-flvo
miles , has never boon surveyed and tnnrUed ,
because no funds have been uvullublu for that
purpose , and that the remedy would seem to
bo an appropriation , cither bv tbo federal
government or jointly by Nebraska mid
South Dakota. Senator Mandoreon's bill of
todny provides as much appropriation as
may bo necessary.
Itut It Will Not AVork.
An effort is being made by some senators
who want certain appointments to tha circuit
and district courts , to brim ; about a glut of
the judicial nominations pending and delay
tilt tha president has not only lilted tbo
circuit vacancies existing , but also the
vacancies which may be created by appoint
ments to circuits. The purpose of such a
movement is plain ; It is to force the presi
dent to yield to the demands of senators in
making appointments or suffer tbo penalty of
nn alliance witb the democrats for tbo
purpose of defeating pending nominations.
The effort will undoubtedly fail. In the first
pluco the president cannot be forced to make
any appointments. The majority of the
seunto , which may lacludo some democrats ,
do not believe in such tactics to secure any
end , much less judicial appointments , which
should be free from ward politics and
chlchanory and machinations of every
democrat.

The senator has not yet taken up the Falls
City postofllco cases , papers in which have
accumulated since bis absence. The great
bulk of the letters are warmly commenda
tory of Mr. Holbrook , the present incumbent
of the olllce , who will be nominated and con
firmed unless tbo best of reasons are shown
for his removal.
Senator Cullom , who has been urging very
strongly upon the president the appointment
of Colonel Eugene A. Carr to tbo vacant
brlgadlorshlp , said this evening that ho was
unnblo to receive any assurances from the
president or any indication as to what his
choice would be. Neither Senator Mundor-
son nor Senator Hlscack seem confident that
their candidates , General Wheaton orColonol
Otis , \\ill secure the prize. Tbo president
may go outside of tho" candidates now most
prominent nnd select some colonel who has
not been strongly urgod. Colonel Biddlo ,
Ninth cavalry , Is spoken ot In connection
witb Iho vacancy , but his chances are not
considered as good as several others named.

solman case is tnkon very seriously by the

calling railway oQlolals and favored shippers
as witnesses in suits for violation of the In
terstate LOmmorco law a plea In every case
that the giving ot testimony might tend to in
criminate the wltneKs being bufilclent under

WnstiiNOio.v , D. C. . Jan. 11. The United
States supreme court today Iri the celebrated
interstate commerce case of Charles Counsel-
man , apnolant , vs. Frank Hitchcock , mar
shal of the United State * district court for
the Northern district of Illinois , decided that
witnesses cannot bo compelled to testify In
any criminal case where answers might tend
to criminate them in any way , or subject
them to possible future prosecution.
The Counsoltnnn case had Its origin In an
Investigation begun in 1800 , by tbo grand
jury of the United States district court for
northern Illinois , Into certain nltogod viola
tions of the Interstate commerce act b the
ofllcors and agents of the Rock Island , the
Burlington and the Chicago , St. Paul and
Kansas City companies. . Counsolinan was
asked whether ho bad obtained from rail
roads coming to Chicago from points outside
the .itato a rate for grain transported at lass
than tariff rates. His reply to this , nnd
similar questions as to whether or not bo bad
received rebates , draw backs or commissions
from specially named railroads , was that ho
declined to answer on tbo ground that it
might tend to criminate him , The grand Jurv
reported tbo refusal to the district court und
it found that Counsolmnn's dxcusoa were In-
sufllciont , and it made an ordordiroctlng him
to answer. Still refusing ; ttio court , ndjudged
him In contempt , lined him $500 and costs ,
and directed the marshal to' take him lu.o
custody and hold him until bo should answer
tbo questions asked and others of similar
import. '
After further proceedings the circuit
court , JudgoGreshani delivering the opinion ,
discharged a writ of habeas corpus which
had issuou for Counsclman p'ondltig Its decis
ion , nnd made an order sustaining the dis
trict court. From Judge , Grcsham's order
the nppeal In this court wus orasocutod , nnd
Counsolmnn , meantime , wns Admitted to
bail. . ' *
1'lca of tlio Defense.1
Counsel for the witness ( appellant ) , besides -
sides urging the plea that , the r witness wns
protected by the tlfth amendment to the con
stitution from nnsweriug nuy question which
might tend to criminate him , in 4ony ca o ,
also attacked the right of the rand jury to
proceed In such investigations.- '
The court , in Its opinion , ' rendered by
Justice Blatciiford , says , bo waver , that it
'
does not find it necessary to' consider any
other than tbo point raised under tbe consti
tution ns to the privileges of witnesses. It
Is broadly contended , says the opinion , that ,
a witness Is not entitled to ptoftd" the privi
lege ot sllonco , except in n 'criminal case
against himself , but such is not the language
or the constitution. Its provision is that no
person shall bo compelled , in 'any criminal
case , to be a wjtnoss against himself. This
prpvision must have a broad construction in
favor of the rlcht wlilch It , was intended to
secure. The matter under 'investigation by
the grand jury was a .criminal matter ,
and the reason given by C ouns'ehnan for his
refusal was that bis answer rhlghUttond to
Criminate him. 'His nprirehonsion-wa's that
the answers might show that , ho bat commit
ted a crlmo against the interstate commerce
act for Which ho might bo prosecuted. His
answers , therefore , would bo testimony
against himself , and be would be compelled
to give them In n criminal case. It , was im
possible that the meaning ) of the constitu
tional provision can only bo that a person
shall not bo compelled to bo a witness In a
criminal prosecution against himself. The
object was to insure that a person should not
bo compelled , when acting as a witness in an
Investigation , to give testimony which might
tend to show that ho himself bad committed
a crime. Thu privilege Is limited to criminal
matters , but it is as broad us the mischief
against' which it seeks to guard.
I'roteetcd by the Constitution.
The court then takes up the contention that
the Investigation before the crand Jurjr was
not a criminal case , but soleljto uscortrln
whether a crime had boon committed , nnd it
reaches the conclusion that the questions
asked Counselmau nnd his relation to tbo
inquiry show that it was such a ease as
entitled him to invoke tbo protection of tbo
constitution.
The court then considers the allegation
that section SUO ot the revised statutes , which
bays that no evidence obtained from a wit
ness by moans of a judicial proceeding shall
bo In any manner used against him in anv
criminal proceeding , or for , the enforcement
of any penalty or forfeiture , mmovos the pro
tection of the constitutional privilege of
Counsolman.
Tno court says this provision , of course ,
protected Counsclman against the use of his
testimony against himself or his property ,
but It could and -vould hot prevent the use of
his testimony to search out other testimony
to bo used against him. It could not prevent
the obtaining- and the use of , evidence which
should bo attributely directly to the testi
mony he might gye [ under compulsion. Soo- ,
tion SCO is not co-oxtonsivo wltrt the consti
tutional provision , aud legislation cannot de
tract from the privilege alToiUod by the con
stitution. A more act of congress cannot
amend tbo constitution ,
Cannot Abridge Constitutional ICI hls.
The opinion of Justice Blatcbford then
makes an exhaustive review of tbo decisions
by thn court nnd bv statu courts In cases
arising out of the existence of similar pro
visions In state constitutions , ana says :
"It Is qulto clear that legislation cannot
abridge a constitutional privilege and that it
cannot replace or supply one , at least unless
it is so broad as to have the iamo effect. We
are clearly of the opinion to at no statute
which loaves the party tor witness
subject to prosecution aftqrt ho answers
the criminating questionsrput to him
can have thu' effect of supplanting the
privilege conferred bv.lho cdns'titutlon of
tbo United States. Section 850 6f the revised
statutes docs not supply u corHbloto protec
tion from all the perils against -which the
constitutional prohibition wax designed to
guard , and Is not a full substitute for the
prohibition. In view ot thoj liohstitutloiiul
provision , a statutory onactmeut-to DO valid
must afford absolute immunity against
future prosecution for the otfdnso to which
tuo question rolntos. "
The court therefore rules that C'ounaolman
wns entitled lo not uiibwor , and directs that
the Judgment of tbo circuit oour.t be reversed
nnd thupnso remanded , with instructions' to
release Counsolmnn from custody.

Coi.UMnu" , O. , Jan. 11. William MeKInloy ,

with a most Imposing pageantry nnd number
unexampled in the state's history. Notwith
standing the severity of tbo winter weather
tlio city was crowded with people from all
parts of Ohio nnd largo delegations from
neighboring states. The legislature , supreme
court , state oillcors und members of the press
assembled in the Donate chamber and then ,
preceded by Governor Campbell nnd Oovor-
nor-olcct McKlnloy , marched to the rotunda
of tbo capital , whcra a stand had boon or-

At uoon , after n happy introductory speech
by Governor Campbell , the chief justice of
tlio supreme court administered the oath of
ofllco to Major McIClnloy , who then delivered

McKlnley's Inaugural.
Gentlemen of the General Assembly : I
approach the administration of thuoQloo with
which I have noon clothed by the people ,
deeply sensible of its responsibilities , and resolved -
solved to discharge Its Unties to tbo best of
my ability. It Is my doslro to uo-opor.ite
with you lu every endeavor to secure a wise ,
economical and honorable administration ,
and , so far as can bo done , the improvement
and elevation of the public oorvlco.
I'rogrcss of Ohio.
The progress of Ohio In population and
wealth between 1880 and lbJ ! ) , as evidenced
by tlio olovcnth census of the United Slates ,
will bo received by ths people of the state
with pride and satisfaction.
During this decade the population of the
state increased nearly 15 per cent , while that
of municipalities , including cities and towns
of 4,000 Inhabitants and upwards , increased
13 per cent. The assessed value of property
in the state increased 1G par cent , and that of
municipalities of more than 4,000 inhabitants
increased nearly 27 per cent.
In 1830 the par capita of the statn debt
proper was W.lt ! ; in 1800 it was only $1.94.
Seventy cities and toivns of Ohio of 4,000
inhabitants and over , with an ajrgrosrato pop
ulation of l,3Sr,831 ( or US per cent of tlio
total population of the state ; , have reduced
their municipal indebtedness until it is only
$3.31 per capita.
Agriculture , whllo for n number of years
depressed , shows in IS'Jl an improvement
which is to bet hoped will Uo permanent. In
Cincinnati , according to the report of the De
partment of Agriculture , during the year
1889 , wheat was 70 cents nor bushel , while in
18111 it was 97 cents. Corn rose from 31 to B3
cents ; rvo from 57 to 71 cents ; and other
products of the farm show a IIIto advance in
pricos.
Mines nnd mining also show a healthful
advancement. In 188J thu petroleum output
of the state was 33,010 barrels , while in 1SOJ
it was 12,471,005 barrels.
The coal output In 18SO was 0,003,593 tous ,
while In 1890 it was 9,970,787 tons.
The value of sandstone rjuiu-rldd In 18SO
was $1,871,921 , whllo Jin 1800 It was $5,040-
(530. ( ,
The fish Industry of the lake shores has in
creased greatly during the dccado. The num
ber of persons actually employed in talcing
fish on the Ohio lalto shores have increased
from 923 in ISSO to 1,207 in 1890 , or a little
ever 30 per cent. The capital invested in
this Industry In 18SO amounted to $47.SOO ! ; In
1800 It was $1,207.100 an increase of nearly
133 per cent ; and whllo thorn were but nlno
vessels engaged in tuls industry in 1SSU ,
there aroJ37 so engaged today.
There has boon nn Increase In the miloaso
of railroads within thn limits of the stnto of
from 5,055 miles in 18M ) to 7,0413 in 1889 , on
their main tracks no increase of 83 per
cont. The cost and value of railroads and
equipment huvo increased from $312,459,197
toS03)8Sl7. ! : ) The uumbor of employes on-
gaced upon the lines in Ohio liavo increased
from 29,498 to 75,578. In 18SO the tonnage of
freight moved within the borders of the state
was4Sr > lllStJ ; in ,1889 , It was 03,132,810 , an
increase of 93 per cent.

Taxation ,
Tbo people of the state , whllo submitting
patriotically to all noedrd taxation for the
nubllu service , nro in nn temper for Increased
taxation. Their insistency is that all kinds
of property shall boar equally the burdens of
taxation. While this may bo impossible to
secure , the leglsiaturo should make the near
est approach to it possible. This is a sub
ject which will require your closest ( Muni
tion , and upon it I invite your best delibera
tion.
It has occurred to me that it might bo well
for tbo legislature to create n board to bo
called "Tho Stuto Tax Revision Commis
sion , " that will take into consideration the
wbolo subject of state taxation and the pow
ers of the legislature thereon under the con
stitution , and raako report to the present gen
eral assembly at the adjourned session.

What shall bo done with the canals }
Shall tboy bo nbumloned , or shall they bo
maintained und improved ) Every year llio
question becomes moro pressing.
Each annual controversy ever appropria
tions develops a stronger opposition than tbo'
preceding ouo. Both tbo friends and oppon
ents of the canals ugrco that the policy whl > : h
tons prevailed for some years past cannot con
tinue much longer. The canals have been
preyed upon and allowed to go to ruin , und
now ovcry succeeding legislature refuses to
appropriate enough money to put them lu
proper condition.
The question docs not involve appropria
tions ulono , but the modernization of public
waterways. Not only ovpcrts , but the public
at largo have arrived at the conclusion that
If the canals are to bo continued , there must
bo some well matured plan for their Improve
ment in the interest of cheap and bettor trans
portation.
Thioughout the whole country there Is at
this tliuo unusual attention boiugr paid to tha
general subject of waterways. An Increased
activity in tbo building nnd Improvement of
canals Is noticoaolo in aomo of tbo most pro
gressive nations of the world particularly
where commercial competition Is tnu keenest.
Of this , Franco and Germany afford con
spicuous examples. In England there nro
sovorul vast slilp canal schemes under
way and in projection , This revival
of interest In canals IB true alto
as to a number of our sister states.
Some states that have abandoned tholr
canals now regret that action , nnd several
are oudcavoilng to recover the franchise
which luul. been disposed of to private Indi
viduals , or to corporations. Canada IK now
.seeking , by enlarging and extending her
canals , to securu a largo portion of the grain
carrying trade of thu continent.
In this commotion attention Is called to n
demonstration lu Ohiu of the value of Im
provement of wuter-wnys , vU : tbo Musk-
liigum river , navigation on which will bo ro-
slimed Iji the coming spring.
It should ever bo uept In mind that the
canal Hystom of Ohio represents franchises
and rfghlu of way und privileges of enor
mous valuo. Tlio aggtcgato length of the
rnnalB ot Ohio 1s 097 , miles. The original
cost of construction- was $ l4,340r)7 .50.
There are alio UD.OOO acres of reservoirs
which food tlio canals all public property.
Tbo canal & > stem of Ohio is a rich heritage
to tlio state which bos been largely squan
dered , U is tlmo to call n halt to the policy
of disposing of tbo people's property withnut
ndrquuta compensation.
It la for the people to aay what they will do

Before the people or the legislature can net
upon this Important question with intotll-
gunc'O und with u duo regard to Interests of
the state , It Is manifest that limy should bo
in possession of more Information than Is now
at hand ,
It U therefore recommended that , In addi
tion to making the usual appropriations for
the cinals , the legislature create a body , with
ungineorlnif , legal und business quallllc.i-
tlons.to make com plot o report ns lo thuuannls

It can , no doubt , bo mnuo to bettor servo lu

You will bo required under tbo now census
io redlstrict the state for representatives In
congress. This will allord yo.i an opportu
nity to arrange the districts with fairness lo
all. Make the districts so fair iu their rela
tion to the political divisions of our people
that they will stand until n new census shall
bo taken. Make them so Impartial that no
future legislature will dnro disturb them
until u now census and a now congressional
apportionment will make a change impera
tive. Extreme partisanship in tholr arrange
ments should bo avoided. There is n scnsu
of fair play among tbo people which is prompt
to condemn u flagrant misuse of party nd-
vantagoattho expense of popular suffrage.

atstako ; but a partisanship which would
take from the people their just representa
