FREELAXD, PA., MARCH 16, 1896. j ONE of the laziest men Town has yet J produced died recently in Fort Madison 1 jXMiitenl iary as a result of his attempt i to escape labor. A convict named Al 1 port died at the prison about ten o'clock < the other morn in;? under peculiar eir j i uinstancea.* lie was a lazy fellow, | ornery and good for nothing 1 . Several months ago he cut off one of his finger* ! to keej) from working, but the injury j soon healed, and he had to resume 1 work again. Of late he had worked but little, always being done before noon, but he concluded he would not j work at all, and to keep from it he In I dieted an injury upon himself which 1 had a result more fatal to him than lie j probably anticipated. Recently to es cape work he poured a quantity of very strong lye on his arm, and the result was a sore as big as a man's hand, but , the lye was so strong that it ate its way into tiie flesh and destroyed the I blood vessels. The result was lock- ' jaw, from which li • died. A GIRL who spent last summer up among the White mountains was puz zled by the mysterious and extremely respectful air of the natives in speak- | ing of a certain farmer's daughter. The rustic young woman herself wore an air of depression and silent endurance, l'or which, as she had more advantages [ than most of her companions, it was hard to account. At length the visitor returned to inquire into the matter. "Why, haven't you heard she had a nerly?" The only meaning "nerly" conveyed to the girl's mind was the rustic pronunciation she had sometimes hoard given to gnarled or gnarly ap ples, and she wondered if human being?; suffered from a similar disease. She learned, however, that a "nerly" meant "an early" disappointment in love, and that such victims were regarded in a measure as heroines. AN unusually odd fad is the one pos sessed by a Portsmouth man \\lio is married 1o a well-known actress. He is ti collector of tattooes, and tlie ex hibits are on his own body, lie is a con nois I'iir on tattooes, and can tell aR about tlie tribes that wear them and t heir history. Only a short time ago he learned of 51 tribe in South America which had a peculiar tattoo and lie • Hirtcd post-haste for the country and did not return until lie bore one of the tattooes on his person. There is one ! tattoo which he might not fancy on his person—the kind that the policeman beaks with his club. CREMATION of the dead is growing in favor in Philadelphia. The number of bodies cremated each year since the cremation society was formed in ISSS lias steadily increased. In 1889 there were 28 cremations and last year there were BG. The society recently started a scheme to popularize tlie movement and issued three per cent, bonds, which entitle the holder to one incineration per bond, with a receptacle and space for storage of the ashes. There are 200 members and 300 stockholders. A TREASURED relic is the grammar studied by Abraham Lincoln when he clerked in Denton Offutt's store in New Salem,llk, in 1830,n0w in North Dakota, in the possession of the widow of Rob ert Kutledgo, of Casselton.

A NOVEL feature was introduced at a harvest festival service held in a New Ilavcn church the other day.

LIVE QUESTIONS. .1 Series of Articles Contributed to These Columns by Advanced Thinkers. NUMBER X —THE UNITED STATES NOT | A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. | THE REMEDY. A study of tlio congressional election return of 1894 proves conclusively that i.ur representative system is a delusion and 5t snare. For instance, Massachusetts, with a Republican vote of 191,248, secures 12 representatives, while the Democrats, with 120,893 ballots polled, are repre sented by only one congressman, or over 7' 2 Democratic citizens must go to the polls to equal tlio representative power of one Republican. Today Illinois is entitled to one Re publican congressman for every 22,403 voters, hat it takes 161,718 Democrats to gain ouo representative, or, like Mas sachusetts the proportion against tho Democrats is over 7 to 1. In Ohio it requires over six times as many voters to eloct one Democrat as it docs a Republican representative. | In New York stsito tho recent vote stands 22,897 for every Republican rep resentative, while requiring 100,610 Democrats to accomplish the same re sults, though in the congressional elec tion returns of 1892 it took 81,680 Democrats to equal 48,850 Republicans. Dear old conservative Pennsylvania secures 28 Republican congressmen for ; 613,921 ballots polled, while the Dem ocrats have only two for 852,560 votes. I Have the Democrats of the Keystone | State sunk so low that it requires over ! eight of thorn to offset one Republican? If this stato had had proportional repre sentation, tlio representation would have stood 18 Republicans, 11 Democrats and 1 Prohibitionist. In the states of lowa, Michigan and Wisconsin tlie Democrats, with over six times the Republican quota, have 110 Democratic representation at all. Indiana leads off as tlio worst repre sented stato in tho Union. Tho Dem ocrats cast almost 11 times tho quota of tho Republicans, and yet have not even JUO representative. Tho People's Party adherents polled votes in excess of tho average quota and yet in most of tho states with no repre sentation at all. Georgia Populists cast nearly seven times the quota of tlio Democrats and yet are not represented, wliilo in Texas they have almost ten times tho Demo cratic quota, with tho saino results. In 1892 tho Populists cast 1,046,392 votes, securing 12 representatives, yet in tho last election, at tho polling 808,380 more vutes than iu 1892, tlieyhavo only seven congressmen. Today the Prohibitionists are not rep resented at all iu congress, yet they cast a voto which would entitle them under proportional representation to three con gressmen. I These figures prove that our whole system of representation is manifestly unjust. The wonder is that we have sub mitted to it so long. Tho evil lies iu our district system. Suppose there were 80,000 votes cast iu each of tho 30 congressional districts of Pennsylvania, each district being en titled to ono representative, with livo parties in each district, tho voto stand ing thus: 4,000 Prohibitionists, 5,000 People's Party, 6,000 Single Taxers, 7,000 Republicans, 8,000 Democrats. Yet the mere fact that tho Democrats cast 1,600 more votes than any one party —a plurality of 1,000 votes, not a ma jority—entitles them, under tho present system, to the ouo representative. And the remaining 22,000 people nro not rep , resented at all! Carry this illustration through tho 80 congressional districts, and we find 120,000 Prohibitionists, 150,000 People's Party, 180,000 Single Taxers, 210,060 Republicans and 240,- 000 Democrats. Lo and behold, tho Democrats march off with tho w hole 30 congressmen, leaving 600,000 men who actually went lo tho polls and voted un represented ! Is it right? Is it justice that the mi nority of tho total vote should make the laws for the majority? Must tho political fight always narrow ' itself to two great parties? Is there no liopo for tho many reform movements? Must corruption and bribery run ram pant that ono party may succeed by a few votes? Is there no remedy, or must we continue to practically disfranchise a large proportion of the men who ac tually go to the polls and vote? There is a remedy, and that remedy is proportional representation, which is that each political party within city, county or stato is entitled to represen tation in proportion to tlio number of votes each party casts. To secure it wo must first übolish all district lines. For instance, to return to our previous illustration of Pennsylvania, übolish ull • tho 80 districts, making tho stato into one large district. Suppose tho voting . power is 900,000, balloting for 30 con _ gressmen. Justice would demand that every one-thirtieth of ho 900,000 voters, or every 80,000 men, should receive one representative. Thirty thousand votes is then the quota. With this result, the | 120,000 Prohibitionists are entitled to , 4 congressmen; tho 150,000 People's Party to 5, the 180,000 Single Taxers, 210,000 Republicans and 240,000 Demo crats to 6, 7 and 8 congressmen, respec tively. Under proportional representa -1 tion tbe Democrats, instead of having tho whole 30 congressmen, receive only tho proportion to which their number of 1 votes entitled them—no more, no less. ■ j Is *ot this justice? t Many people havo a dread of adopting uny new system, thinking it best to hold , to an imperfect one rather than advocate one which has not received the test of ■ experience. ' ' But, unfortunately, proportional rep resentation has stepped from the theo retical to tho practical field of politics. I It is in operation in several of the can tons of Switzerland and has met with snch overwhelming success that it is Duly a matter of getting the "political machine" started, when all the cantons uf Switzerland will adopt it. Today only one party can win in any one district. Result, bribery and corrup tion, in order to bo that one party. Under proportional representation all parties can gain representation. Any party cau print tho names of their can didates on the regular ballot, provided Lhat party can show thoy can command 1 por cent of the total voting power. Today it is practically impossible for Prohibitionists or Single Taxers to gain the balance of power with any one dis trict. But under this system the Single Taxers could unite all over the stato to send 0110 or moro representatives to con gress or to the state legislature. Then a man will vote with a knowledge that it will count for the party and principles in which he is interested. For any ocouomic or political reform movement, desiring to work along the lino of least resistance, proportional rep resentation is tho quickest method to secure real and practical progress. All, of whatever political shado of opinion, 3an unite on this platform. The farmers should take warning from tho groat loss jf voting power and energy of tho Pop ulists, who in 181)4 secured only seven representatives uftor polling votes which under proportional representation would have entitled them to 40 mem bers in congress, a loss of 33 members. First secure proportional representa tion ; then reformers can step into the political arena with the kuowledge that avery vote tells. Once in the field of action people will consider it worth their while to study your principles. As it is uow tho reformers aro practically dis franchised, having no voice in tho law making of the land. KATHERINE J. MUSSON. Philadelphia, Jan. 1, 1890. NUMBER XI.—TIIE POSSESSORY RIGHT OF SUCCESSIVE GENERATIONS. Wherever tho cliißlrou of men be lievo or can bo induced or taught to bo lieve iu tho fatherhood of ouo God and Iho biotherhood of ull men the princi ples inculcated by Thomas Jclfersou bid fair to dominate the political and social relations of tho near luturo. Ouo of tho reasons urged by him against the crea tion of a national debt is of special in terest at tho presont tiiiie. In a letter written by him in August, 18151, from which tho subjoined quotation is made, lie demonstrates tho "possessory right Df successive gouorations" thus: "Tho generations of men may be sonsidered as bodies or corporations. Each generation has the usufruct of the aartli during the period of its continu ance. When it ceases to exist that usu fruct passes on to tho succeeding gener ation free and unincumbered, and so on successively from one generation to an other forever. We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right by tho will of its majority to bind •themselves, but uono to bind tho suc ceeding generation moro than the in habitants of another country. Or tho caso may bo likened to tho ordinary one of a tenant for life, who may hypothe cate tho land for his debts during the continuance of his usufruct, but at his death the reversioner, who is also ten ant for life only, receives it exonerated from all burthen. The period of a gen eration or the term of its life is deter mined by the laws of mortality. I iind that of the numbers of all agos living at any one moment half will bo dead in 24 years and 8 months. But leaving out minors, who have not the power of self government, of the adults living at one moment, a majority of whom act for the society, one-half will be dead in 18 years and 8 months. "At 11) years, then, from tho dato of a contract, the majority of tho contract ors are dead and their contract with them. Let this general thoory ho appliod to a particular euso: Suppose the annual births in tho state of New York to bo 23,1)94; tho whole number of its inhab itants will bo 017,703, of all ages. Of theso, thero would constantly be 269,- 280 minors and 348,417 adults, of which last 174,209 will bo a majority. Suppose that majority, on tho first day of the year 1794, had borrowod a sum of money equal to tho foe simple value of the state and to have consumed it in eating, drinking and making merry in their day, or, if you please, in quarrel ling and fighting with thoir uuoffoud ing neighbors. Within 18 years and 8 months ono-lialf of tho adult citizens were dead. Till then, being tho major ity, they might rightfully levy tho in terest of their debt annually on them selves and their fellow revelers or fel low champions. But at that period (say at this moment) a now majority have conio into place in their own right and not under tho rights, the conditions or laws of their predecessors. Are they bound to acknowledge the debt, to consider tho preceding generation as having had a right to eat up tho whole soil of their country in tho course of a lifo, to alienate it from them (for it would be an alienation to tho credi tors), and would they think themselves either legally or morally bound to give up their country and to emigrato to another for subsistence? Every one will say no; that tho soil is tho gift of God to tho living, as much as it had boon to tho deceased generation and that tho laws of nature impose uo obligation on them to pay tiiis debt. And although, like some other natural rights, this lias not yet entered into any declaration of rights, it is no less a law and "ought to ; be acted on by honest governments." The reader who will carefully peruse the sories of let tors from one of which the foregoing extract is made and who will then look around him, at the mal adjustment of existing social conditions, will find cumulative evidence tending to prove that in these closing years of | the nineteenth century the soui that is "marching on" is not that of John Brown (whose body, etc.), but is, rather, the soul of tho patriot statesman, Thorn- I us Jefferson. GEO. C. WORTH. 1 St. Louis, February, 1896. MATTERS -of the- MOMENT. Subjects in Which the Citizens of Freeland and Surroundings Are Interested at the Present Thnc. The movement to annex South Hober ton to Freeland borough is at present receiving considerable attention from a number of people who are more or less interested in the welfaro of the two towns. The agitation for annexation arose simultaneously with the prospects for a greater Freeland, held out by the Hoard of Trade, and up to the present time it has been fostered by the board as a component part of its duty. The movement has been suggested at various times. It was advocated at the time that the Five Points became a part of the borough, the reason given being that the increased territory and popula tion would result in getting better postal facilities. It has also been mentioned at other times with different objects in view, but willi never any arguments produced as to its advantage to Free land. However, it has never before been accorded the recognition it receives at present. The misfortune of the movement in the past appears to have been that the men who could have boosted it along, did not favor annexa tion and because they did not, they felt disinclined to inform those who did as to the proper methods to be taken to ac complish its success. This appears to be its fate even in its present state. The promoters of the movement seem somewhat at sea, so far as their methods are concerned, and this, coupled with tlie disapproval of those whom annexe tion w ill directly affect, has a tendency to thrust the whole affair into confusion. t t t The only real worthy feature of the possible advantage of annexation given by its agitators is that which has been defined by the Hoard of Trade, viz, fire and police protection for territory which will then be within the borough, which is to be held out as an inducement for the location of industrial plants. The claim is justly made that the vacant land within tho present limits is held at too high a value to allow it to be used for factory sites, but whether this claim will outweigh the objections of the op ponents is questionable. Many taxpay ers fear that the additional expense which the new territory would add to the borough would not justify annexa tion. Additional lire plugs, electric lights, sewers, street repairs and police protection are matters that have yet to be considered. The movement is at present almost conlinod to the territory north of the Public park, which lias been chosen for the site of the industries secured by the Hoard of Trade. Now, if the 4 borough limits are to be extended at all, they should be run out to include Fern street. Here is a section which could be annex ed with profit to the town and the resi dents. The territory is included in Fos ter township, yet the male residents have no place to vote, and their children have no place to-attend school. The street yields a liquor revenue which would pay for whatever improvements might be required, while scarcely a rea son can bo offered for allowing the street to remain in its present irrespon sible condition, if a greater Frceland and the good of the town is the object, let it be pushed to a successful end; but that cannot be accomplished if the pro moters of annexation pass desirable sec tions by. and throw the lines out too fur in other directions. Have the best in terests of the borough the main consid eration in this movement, others' inter ests can afford to wait. New Kuute for Strum l'i|>e*. The Ijchigh Valley Coal Company has contracted to have two 12-inch holes drilled at llazlo Mines colliery. Tho holes will be, lined with gas pipe secured by cement and each will be 600 feet deep. The purpose of drilling is to make an opening through which the steam pipes will run, to convey power .to the pumps at the bottom of the slope. The system is a big improvement over the past effort, and is sure to be generally adopetd by all operators who lind it necessary to convey steam into their mines. Formerly those pipes ran through the air way or along tho slope. The intense heat qulckley dried up and rotted the timbers and made them very inflammable. This has been the causo of frequent lire and resulted in immense damages to the owner. Sensation in the I\fucKnight Failure. Another sensation lias developed in the Mac Knight failure. Sherman Mac Knight, a son of the bankrupt mer chant, refused to open his father's safe on the demand of Sheriff Martin and of tin! court, and the sheriff will now make an attem) t to have it broken open. The big iron safe in the store has been closely guarded sinco the failure, and it is thought to contain some important documents which may throw some light o.i the failure of the Plains merchant.
