A GOOD APPORTIONMENT BILL Two apportionment bills were introduced in the Senate on Monday, one by Senator Fulk and the other by Senntor Wishard. The Fulk bill is practically the present law with two or three unimport changes. The Wishard bill is based on the last enumeration, a total of 551,0-18 votes, giving a unit of representation for Senators of 11,020 votes, and of Representatives half that number, or 5,510 votes. Iu the apportionment for both Senatorial and House purposes, where the greatest differences occur, the surplus is carried into another district, so that substantially all of the vote has representation. For instance

Montgomery county has 8.001 votes. It is given one Representative, and that leaves a surplus of 2,491 votes. That surplus is carried to Boone and Clinton, where with the surplus of these two counties makes 5,796, or within 280 of the unit for each Representative. For Senatorial purposes Montgomery and Putnam are placed in one District with an agregate vote of 13,49-1. The surplus belonging to Montgomery is carried to Fountain and Warren where the two oounties have only 8,173, but by adding the Montgomery surplus of 2,491, it makes a district of 10,664, or within 356 of ohe unit. Under this bill the Legislature would be Democratic, but, nevertheless, it is the most equitable and just bill that was ever introduced in the Legislature. There are no traces of a gerrymander connected with the bill, and it ought to reoeive the Bnpport of everv member of both Houses.

THE Indianapolis Neu-s commenting on the "celebrated case" of the will of the lute Joseph E. McDonald, save:

The McDonald ll case is as much of ft mystery as ever. Although the trial has been of two weeks' duration, conating from the opening day, there is so far no clearing away of the shadows surrounding the signatures. "What a suggestion for a novel," remarked a lawyer in attendance. But it would require a novelist like Wilkie Collins to use the material properly. His "The Law and the Lady," and "Man ana Wife," gave him opportunities with the Scotch and English law, and this would have given him material for an American law novel. The characters in the drama are sufficiently interesting. The testator, a genial, kindly, wholesome, honest old lawyer, an ex-Senator of the United StateB, a once piorni nent candidate for nomination to the Presidency. The defendant, his widow, past the meridinn of life, a woman of quick mentality, graceful in manner and handsome. Then coruee the crazed type, writer, a clerk in the law office of the testator, who, between the making of the will and its finding, becomes insane, thus removing the person who could do mere than any one else to set matters right. Then with the law partner and his assertion, "This is not the will as he told it to me," the skilled experts on each side, the keen lawyers, the long ar ray of witnesses, the jury of farmers, the quiet judge, the country courthouse, the defendant in black, the plaintiffs also interesting figures, the material for the great court scene is at hand.

WEE Judge Jackson is confirmed as Associate Justice the Supreme Court will stand three Democrats to six Re publican, are considerably over 70 years of age, and may die or retire during Cleveland's term. If he appoints two Democrats in their places the court will stand four Democrats to five Republi cans. No other member of the court, as it stands now, will reach the age of 70 during Cleveland's occnpancy of the White House.

AT PHESKNT there are three Demo crats, or will be when Judge Jackson is confirmed, on the Supreme Bench. One of thein is Judge Field, who yas ap pointed by Abraham Lincoln, the first and greatest of all Republican Presi dents. President Harrison, therefore, had a noble precedent in rising above party to name a successor to Judge Lamar.

IN addition to John G. Carlisle for Secretary of the Treasury and Daniel S. Larnont for Secretary of War, it iB given out tLat Mr. Cleveland has selected James C. Carter, of New York, to be Secretary of State, Jam«B H. Blount, of Georgia, to b6 Postmaster General, and Hiiliary A. Herbert, of Alabama, to Secretary of the Navy.

THE grand jury of Tippecanoe county is to be commended in ferreting out the guilty part'ea and returning ten indictments against the leaders in the riot which occurred there two weeks ugo. These gentlemen must be taught that this is a country where free speech is tolerated and cannot be suppressed bv a mob.

THE Arkansas and Tennessee Legislatures have bills pending to remove the State banking system. Those States expect the Chicago plutform to be carried out as soon as possible.

Or course the Southern Prison investigation will result in a thick coat of whitewash for the management. The committee was organized for this purpose.

By a vote of 42 to 23 the United States Senate yesterday refused to vote for a repeal of the Sherman silver act.

A FAMOUS HYMN.

•The Sweat By and By," Whioh Millions Have Sung.

The writer of one immortal poem reverses the established axiom ami reaches the haven of ambition by a single bound. There have been a golden number tlius signally fortunate. The author of "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" scaled at one bound the steep heights of immortality. She svho wrote with pathetic peu the story of "A Soldier of the Legion" inscribed her name ou the scroll of fame in letters of light* The author of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" will live with the nation, and he who was inspired with patriotic ardor to sing "The Star Spangled Manner" will be remembered by his words while that banner continues to wave. These are heroic poems struck to triumphal or majestic notes. But there is another poem which, like those of the sweet singer of Israel, is attuned to chords that live forever in the soul. Of these are the songs, poems, hymns— they are all these and more—known in the literature of song as "Nearer, my God, to Thee" and "The Sweet By and By." The first was written by a woman, the last bif a man, and it is this author the present paper concerns, and the simple history of the words and music that have been sung in every quarter of the globe, in church, in concert hall, at houi by the deathbed nd at the grave. Never cau I forget the sweet and comforting words as 1 first heard them sung on the occasion of a great calamity, when many people walked in the valley of the shadow of death. It was a woman's voice— not that of a great singer, but one who sent forth sympathetic notes from an overcharged heart. The song was new then. As her voice fell on the silence that was liroken only by the wails of the mourners, there fell upon he group that peace of God which pas.seth all understanding. She sang every word in a distinct recitative and the awful tension of unavailing grief

was broken. There was a human need I

of comfort: every one wanted a copy „The

of the words, tho music, and in less

But I was not to be discouraged. I turned to my desk and wrote the original form of the poem: "SWEET BT ASD BY."

There's a land that i3 lalrer than day, And by faith we can soo it afar, For the Father waits over the way, Y: TO prepare ua a dwelling place there.

In tho Sweet By and By, We shall meet on that beautiful shore— In the S-reet By and By,

We shall meet oa that beautiful shore.

shall sing on that beautiful shore, The melodious so-tgs of tho blest, And our spirits shall sorrow no more—•:

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest! (.Chorus.)

To our bountiful Father above, We will oiler the tribute of praise, For the glorious gift of His love,

And the blessings that hallow our days/ (Chorus.) "When I had it completed I handed' it to Webster. As he read it he lost his indilference and his face brightened with enthusiasm. Then he asked a friend who had stepped in to hand hirn his violin and he improvised the melody. Tn a few moments he had written out the notes for the four parts of the chorus, and in thirty minutes from the time I had taken my pen to write the words, four of us were singing the hymn. Within two weeks we heard the children singing it on the streets."

There are only two of those iv'.io assisted at the birth of this inspirational song who are now living—Dr. Bennett and S. E. Bright, of Fort Atkinson, Wis. These two have been many times witnesses of its wonderful popularity, and everywhere the notes of its plaintive music was to them as a breath of their native air.

This is the brief and simple story of the inception of the song which was consistent with the life and sehtiments of its author, who, when an attack was made on his religious belief, thus forcibly and modestly defended himself and his friend: "While 1 claim that every man's religion is something sacred to his own soul, and something no man has a right to personally question, I feel compelled to say that the hope and longing of every immortal soul, as expressed in 'The Sweet By and By,' was not to us a 'painted lie,' but the firm conviction and faith of both of us, and to both creation would have seemed a farce unless associated with a belief in a Supreme Being of infinite love, and an Immortal existence for man beyond the grave."

Dr. Bennett, in a very interesting private letter, says: "When a boy my dream was to de•ote my life to my pen, but an education was the first object, a hard thing for one to gain unaided. Before I

knew enough to teach I begun teaching. 1 was about eighteen, and sensitive as a girl. My book qualifications wore meager. 1 had plenty of pupils much older than myself. Ishad never looked in the algebra—to study iu 'Could 1 teach algebra?' came the question from these. 'Oh, yes! Hut let us wait a week beiore we organise a class.' That night I walked eight miles to the nearest village and bought an algebra. Thereafter four o'clock of the winter mornings I was at the lonely country schoolhouse studying algebra by the light of a Mallow dip,' kerosene not having then bean invented. 1 took my clas? through the book—and they nover knew the secret. That is about the way I have worked all my life. When I was younger I desired to publish a volume of poems, but never had the money to do it. Thus I escaped tho critics and probably conserved my reputation. "You inquire about ^The Sweet By and By.' As to how it was born, 1 only know the externals, as given herewith. There are phases of the life of the soul that are profoundly, sweetly real, but unseen—like the scent of a rose. We may watch the unfolding of a rosebud, but we cannot know—not yet—the primal fact behind the vislblo miracle nor tho alchemy of God that works in the fact. I have often been drawn from bed by a dear demon who cried: 'Write! Write!' 1 have—on one ocoasion—written nine hymns in a single night, but never came anything to me just as did 'Sweet By and By.' Ves, 1 have heard it sung in many places and under many circumstances—but someway, tinder no circumstances that were inappropriate. It oftenest gives comfort at the grave. It is the funeral hymn of free masonry—the higher orders—in America. I have received many a letter from the mourning that made my heart very tender and humble. Well, the universal heart of humanity loves to think of and sing of a sweet, blessed reunion with those who have laid down tho burden of earth life—whether it can demonstrate it or not. It is the atavism of the soul to the type of its primal innocence and communion with God. "Would you like to hear how the little hymn sounds in Chinese? A New

York journal published it in the Chinese characters and an interlineal translation, which, I suppose, is authentic. 1 will transcribe the first verse: "There's 3 land that Is fairer than day,

Joy hin gwoek yow yut Jaw wah me sfcaw, And by faith we can see it afar, Yow sun dock gwa chi nons yln bong Been, For the Father waits over the way, Foo che yun hoy hen boon gong jib Raw, To prepare us a dwelling place there. Owy hoi choey gin die juck we on goey. "In the sweet by and by Dow how loy dock wing gong. We shall meet on that beautiful shore, Go chi dan bit joy chop wah me shaw...

than a week murmuting hps '.vere The sweet silence of solitude,

framed to sing: "For the Father waits over the way." The tide of grief was diverted by the wonderful inspiration of the son?.

S. Fillmore Bennett, :he author of The Sweet By and By." lives in the town of Richmond, 111. At the time of writing the poem, however, I)r. Bennett was a resident of the village of Elkhorn. Wis., and was engaged in the publication of sacred music. IJe was associated with a musical composer who had fits of melancholy and depression. On one of these dark outlooks he came into thejr place of business, silent and dejected. 'What is the matter now, Webster?" asked his partner. "Oh, nothing—it isof no consequence —it'll be all right by and by," answered Mr. Webster. "Then," says Dr. Bennett, "the idea came to me like a flash of sunlight, and I responded instantly: 'The Sweet By and By why wouldn't that be a good subject for a song?' "'Perhaps,' he answered, indifferently.

Yet 1 know that all the time an occasional glance, love lit, comes meward from just across the writing table, and from the same locality there vibrates into my being the tender magnetism of a sympathetic heart, and I am within the area of an appreciative, helpful intellect. She to my best helper, because of her sympathy—and because she is my best critic."

Perhaps the thousands who have sung, prayed or chanted the melody of the hymn-song will take a new pleasure in its sweet strains through learning something of the home and life history of its author. A copy of the verses in my possession, penned for me by the author, reveal a chirography as dainty as the Italian hand of a past era, and quite consistent with the ideal character of a poet—Mrs. M. L. Rayne, in Detroit Free Press.
