SATURDAY, OCT. 8, 1892.

Mr. Cleveland In a New Hull. The utter panic into which Mr. Cleveland lias been driven by the facts of the markets, in lower prices under the McKinley tariff, and the better wages to labor as shown by Mr. Carlisle and the Peck report, is shown by his utterances in his letter of acceptance last week. In his Rbode Island speech a month or so ago,ho was a pronounced free trader. His party deieat there and elsewhere since, and the market proofs of the wisdom and popularity of Mcivinley law, have made him coo like a dove. Really his letter of acceptance is nothing more than a plea in avoidence. He lots the Chicago national platform alone. He avoids it like it was deat.li. It is the first time in the history of the country that a candidate fails to refer to his platform. Tie knows that, death to his party lurks there, and he shambles to deceive.

Mr. Hluinc's Letter.

"While travelinu and observing labor conditions in Europe, Hon.

nnjlort of one ieatje-w

James G.

Why Wns It Not ICejitMIimI? In 1S90 the nomocracy piedired themselves in their platforms, press, and on every stump, to repeal the Mcivinley tariff. They canu' into power in the House of Congress with more than 110 majority. Did they repeal ti.o law they denounced as "infamous?" N'c under it times rapidly improved and prosperity increased. They got alarmed, ana were afraid to repeal it. Hut, still they denounce "the Mcivinley bill."' Great is Democracy, and its other name is Fraud.

I Hove Taken several

Bottles of Bradfield's Female Regulator for falling of the "romb and other dipeases combined, of 16 years standing, and I really believe I am cured entirely. for which please accept my thanks

THE GERRYMANDER.

Legislative Apportionments of 1885 anil 18111 Ieoluri\l I'livoiistltiitloual. Following is an abstract of 'he opinion of Judge Eugene H. Untidy of the llenry Circuit Court in the gerrymander suit:

The complaint charges that both the iaw of 18'Jl and the law of 1SS5 are repugnant to the constitution, for the reason that in neither case was the apportionment made "According to the number of main inhabitants above twenty-one years of age in each county." In support of this contention, the following are some of the facts apparent from an examination of the complaint:

Taking the act of IS'.H, and the enumeration on which it is based, the number, or unit, sufficient for senatorial representation is 11,(WO, and for a Representative, 5,510.

This act makes a senatorial district o' the counties of Grant and Madison, ana gives them one Senator to represent 1",780 male inhabitants above twenty-ono years of age, and gives tc Laporte

County

alone one Senator, with only 8,811. a dlffcrenco of To Kosciusko and Wabash, one ivit.li

1-1,11

to I'arke and

Vermillion, one with S.T5:* difference, 5,0(.)0. To Delaware and Randolph, one with II,.188. To Daviess and Martin, one, with S,7ri dill'erence, .",(ili: To Vigo one, with 13.317: to Clark and Jefferson, one, with 8,(183: uifierence, 4,34. To Adams, Jay and Blackford one, with 13,027. To Warren and Fountain one, with 8,173 dill'erence, 4,851. To Putnam and Montgomery one, with 13,494. To Cass one, with 8,449: dilTerence, 5,045. To Boone and Hamilton one, with 13,114. To Dubois and I'erryone, with 8,483: difference, 4,031. To St. Joseph and Starke one, with 12,795. To Newton, Jasper and Benton one, with 8,1(17 difference, 4,628. To Miami and Howard one, with 12,793. To Lagrange and Steuben one, with 8,155 dilTerence, 4,(138.

Here are eighteen Senatorial districts, made up of thirty-five counties nine of them contain in the aggregate 123,150 male inhabitants over the ago of twentyone years, and the other nine 70,420. Or, 76,429 electors in nine districts have the same voice in the State Senate as 123,150 in nine others. Nine have an average of 22 per cent loss than the unit, and the other nine an average of 23 per cent, more than the unit, and hi no instance is there any provision made for the excess, which aggregates 23,934.

The county of Brown, with 2,332, is placed in two senatorial districts, and the voice of its few electors thus made potential in the election of two Senators. So, also, is the county of Clark.

Turning to the apportionment for Representatives. It appears that Henry County, with 6,440, or 930 more than the unit, has one Representative, while Owen County, with 3.744, or 1,7H less than the unit, has one. The 3,744 electors in Owen County have the same representative voice and strength as 6,440 electors in Henry Countv. That Delaware County, with 7.138, has one, and l'ikc, 4,260, has one a difference of 2,872. Randolph County, with 7,250, has one. and Washington, with 4,321, one: a difference of 2,929. Grant, with her 7,770, is put upon an equality with Steuben, with onlv 4,020: difference, 3.750 Wabash, with 6.920. and Fulton, with 1,203 Huntington. with 7.254. and Lagrange, with 4,335: Boone, with 7,038. and I'errv, with 4,152. In none of these instances does it appear that any attempt has been made to provide representation tor the excess, or adjust or distribute it in any manner. Wayne County lias 10,070, and is given ono Representative, an excess of 4,500. Tins excess is joined to Favette, with 3,512, making 8,072. and leaving a still unrepresented fraction in Wayne of 2,502, or more than one-fourth of its entire voting population. Lawrence County has 4,802, not quite enough to entitle it to a representative, but there are tweivo cou itics each with a less number given a M.irc.-eiitativc each, and Lawrence is put into a district with Orange (3,954) and fraction of Dubois (1,570), making with 4.i0 of the unit. Deduct this 4S0

«rom Lawrence, and the result is that it leaves it with 4,322 unrepresented, more than nine-tenths of all its male inhabitants above twenty-one years of age: or, if Lawrence is given its entire strength, and a sufficient number counted from Dubois to make up the unit, this leaves 868 from Dubois and the entire voting population of Orange County unrepresented or if the pro rata representation Is counted in each it leaves Ss:: in Dubois, and 44 per cent, or all the electors in both Orange and Lawrence without representation. Jay County lia5,825, or 315 more than the unit, bin is not given a representative. It is pu into a district with Adams, with 4,70:.' leaving 5,077 of an excess to be carried to Blackford, with 2,440 to form anoiliei district. After Blackford is raised to the required unit there yet remain 1.8 of Jay County's electors unrepresented, or adding an equal number from Jav ami

Adams, to Blackford, sufficient to make the required number for the district of Blackford, Jay and Adams, and carrying tiie surplus to the district of Jay and Adams, there will yet remain 2,717 electors unrepresented, nearly 26 per cent, of their entire number in both counties. Cass and Miami counties are eacli given a Representative, and are also given a Representative jointly, although their excess falls 1.450 short of the unit. There are twenty-eight counties, each having less than the unit, to which separa'e Representatives are given, and to which additional representation is given in some instances by placing them in districtwith other counties. There are fifteen counties, each having more than the unit, which are given one Representative each, with no representation whatever for their excess. In the twenty-eight counties the deficiency represented aggregates 20,380, while in the fifteen counties the excess unrepresented is 17,126. Six counties, viz.: Tipton, Harrison, Putnam, Ripley, Franklin and Sullivan, noither of which has the number equal to the unit, after being given a Representative alone, aro each placed in another representative district, and assist in the election, jointly of six more Representatives. Ripley has 4,873. Franklin 4,691 neither equal to the unit. Each is given a Representative. This is certainly all they are equitably entitled to, but, without any surplus they are joined together and put into a district with Union, which has but 1,970, or 3,534 loss than the unit.

These are some of the facts shown by tho complaint in reference to the apportionment made by the act of 1 SOI. The same or similar conditions aro shown to exist under the law of 1885.

Where the constitutionality of a legislative act is in question it is wcdl settled that it is the duty of the cc,.i to sustain the law, if possible, and in case of doubt tho doubt should be given in favor of the law. The judiciary should declare a law unconstitutional when it is so, and then only. (7 Ind., page 335.) The act is not to bo declared invalid

unless ft be clearly and plainly in conflict with the Constitution, (34 Ind., 185, and cases cited: 81 Ind., 327: 102 Ind., 319, etc.) On the other hand, where it is clear that a law violates a command of the Constitution, no higher duty can be vested in courts than to so declare. Justice Blackford, in Dawson vs. Shaver. 1 l'.lk., 200, says: "The task is delicate and unpleasant, but the dutv of the Court is impei .itive, and its authority is unquestionable to declare any part of a statue null and void that expressly contravenes the provisions of the Constitution to which the Legislature itself owes its existence."' A rule of constitutional construction is that the words employed are to be given their natural sense and meaning. The language of the Constitution in reference to apportionment, in its plain and ordinary signification, means equality of representation proportionately among the several counties: that the electors of each county shall have the same proportionate representation as ihe electors of every other countv that 'ie vote of each citizen and hi ivpreeniativo voice, shall be equal to that ef every other citizen as nearly as practicable. The county is evidently intended to be tlie unit ol division, and li unit of repri^ention. where prad irable, and the meaning i~ that each ounty having a sullicien! number of inhabitants, shall have itown representation in the Legislature, chosen ny its own electors, and not a divided representation with some other county, except for its excess. This provision of the. Constitution is a mandatory instruction to the legislative body, and not merely advisory or directory. Of course exact'equality is not expected or required, and is perhaps not possible, but substantial equality of apportionment is required, wherever possible, and nothing less than this will fulfill tho constitutional command. Apportionment Is the power granted, and not disfranchisement. The Constitution doos not require an impracticable or impossible thing, but it has certainly not been demonstrated that such an apportionment as the Constitution requires is either impracticable or impossible. "There can be no legislative discretion under tho Constitution to give a county of less population than another a greater representation. Such action would be arbitrary and carpricious, and against tho vital .principle of equality in our Government,and it is not intended or permitted by the Constitution. There can be found no excuse for it."—]Morse, Chief Justice, in Michigan case.] The provision of the Constitution is a guarantee to the citizens of the State of a just and equitable representation in the law-making body, and a prohibition against unjust, discriminations or infringements upon the rights of tho citizens so guaranteed. He is entitled to have this right protected and preserved, and law which violates it can not stand. he very first section'of lie Constitution of Indiana provides: "All elections shall be free and equal." How can an election be equal with an unequal and unfair apportionment'.'

Tin! apportionment laws in question are either in consonance with the provision of the Constitution. or are in violation of it. This court, «u--.imit: them, must decide that ny t!'.«e aeis the Senators and Representai vesin the General Assembly have been apportioned among the several counties "according to the number of male inhabitants above twenty-ono years of age in each." To do so would be to affirm that which is manifestly untrue to give judicial sanction to a plain violation of the Constitution: to lend judicial aid to the disfranchisement of the citizen put inequality above equality in representation: to ratify injustice and encourage an abuse of legislative power. My conviction is clear and strong that these acts are palpabl\ repugnant to the Constitution, and ii, violation of both its letter and spirit, and ought not to stand. Tho demurrer is tl erefore overruled.

There is more Catarrh in thiE section of the country than all oiler diseases put together, and untill the last few years waB supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by J. E. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only, constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from lOdropp to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of tbe system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address.
