That decision puts us with Hendricks for joint senator and with Montgomery, Putnam and Clay for joint ieprese->tative. The dignity of the Senate lias been on a down grade for some time, hut it remained for Tillman to give it the hardest push. The supreme court decision tal,es us back with Hendricks in a senatorial d strict. The court’s decision delates invalid the legislative apportionment of 1805, also of 1893, and a former dicision had found the apportionments of 1891 and 1889 invalid. This goes back to act of 1885 whi< h has not been attacked. The 1885 gerrymander as passed by the democrats is a rotten institution and should he brushed aside. The people want a fair apportionment. Horace Ghkelet wrote; “Hun ger. cold, rage, hard work, contempt. suspicion, unjust reproach, are disagreeable, debt infinitely worse than all of them. If it had | pleased God to spare my sous to be the support of my declining years, the lesson i should have earnestly sought to impress upon them is: ‘Meyer run into debt, avoid
pecuniary obligations as you would pestilence and famine. If you have fifty cents and can get no more lor a week, buy a peck of corn, parch it and live on it, rather than owe any man a dollar.’ ” The public generally will now demand a special session of the legislature to enact a law that will be a fair and lawful apportionment o( this state. The people are tired of uncertainty and the continual change of districts for political gain. Governor Matthews should now rise to the emergency and act. He has it in his power to do the right thing. Under the supreme court apportionment decision just rendered, the people of this vicinity and of various other vicinities are industriously figuring where they are at.
OVER THE TEACUPS
i
H
THAT DECISION.
Whut the Mipretnt* Conrr Decioetl on riiurMday. A Bupef** Opinion, inilinimpoiis Journal. The points covered by the su preme court in its decision relative to apportionment can be briefly stated. Perhaps the most important ot these is the atfinnation of the right of that tribunal to pass upon any act apportioning the members of the legislature when such act is brought to its attention. The court puts it, perhaps, stronger than a prerogative or right by making it plain that such a review is a duty. There is nothing new in this opinion. F,very court of hist resort in states to which apportionment lawrs have been referred has made a similar decision, and at least one such tribunal has emphasized that duty—the supreme court of Michigan—as the most important that it could consider. Another point which the court argues at length and clearly is the question of what constitutes repre sentation under the constitution. It emphasizes the idea that county' representation is intended rather than proportioned representation— that in the grouping of counties the constitutional intent of county representation can be and has been ignored. Three counties, neither of which has suflicient population to entitle it to a senator, have been grouped and given two senators. Thus, a county which is not entitled to one senator is given a voice in the election of two. The court also declares that a county having a less number of voters or males of the voting age than the proportional number or ratio shall not be so grouped with other counties as to have a voice in the election of more than one member of the General Assembly when it can possibly be avoided. It practically allirms, by quoting the notable de cision of Chi«f Justice Morse, of Michigan, the declaration of the supreme court of that state that “there can be no legislative discre tion under the constitution to give a county of less population than another of greater representation.” A third point which the court passes upon is that affecting the constitutional power of legislatures to enact apportionment laws. It declares that after the legislature which follows the enumeration of voters passes an apportionment act a subsequent legislature has no right to appeal such law, and can only pass another law when the one which was in force has been de dared unconstitutional by the supreme court. There are probably minor points in the decision, but those which have been mentioned are the only ones which are impor taut. Perhaps the most important of the questions decided by' the court is the allirmation of the constitutional prerogative of the court of last resort in a state to pass upon an act apportioning the inciube • of the General Asserribly. This power has been vehemently denied by democratic lawyers and by democrats who have never been accused of a knowlege of the law, but the supreme court, a majority of whose members are democrats, has turned its hack upon all arguments of that character and rendered u decision in line with those made in j other states, notably by Chief Jus j lice Morse of Michigan, a life long democrat, but an impartial judge.’
Delightfully Entertain Their Gen

The Ove' the Teacups gave their j
first anniversary meeting last even i ing and varied matters by inviting
the gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. F
A. Arnold threw open their residence at ()'>2 east Seminary street, j and from eight until twelve o'clock j one of the pleasantest social even I ingsof the winter season was spent. The ladies of the club, which is a literary and social organization j combined, have during the past year been reading and discussing current hooks of interest, taking one subject each month. Last
evening thev decided to each repre
sent by emblem o* - character the
name of a book and let their gen
tlemen friends guess the name of i the book. Most of the men made a sorry stagger at the names as some of them couldn't break away from the memories of “Pilgrim’s Progress,” “McGulfey’s Fifth Reader” or a souvenir edition of “Billy Badblood, the Hero of Headman's Gulch,” etc. Others did better, however, and made creditable ef i
forts to piek out the names. 'I he costumes displayed were
unique, appropriate and some d°-

It was a most delightful event and refreshingly novel.
