fz) She gaitg glstoriatu ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY -NOVEMBER 25. 1SS5 Your, opixiox asked. Tin: Astorian asks an opinion from its exchanges regarding an existing fact. Taking for a basis the census returns as received from the office of the secretary of state, we find that Baker county with a population uf 7,000 has one senator and two representatives in the legislature; Clatsop county with a population of 10,240, has one-third of a senator and half a representative. "Were it given the same proportion as Baker county (which has just received a 15,000 gift) this county would have two senators and five rep resentatives, at Salem. Columbia, with a population of 3,013, has a representative: Clatsop with more than three times 3,013, has half a representative: that is to say, Columbia county with scattered settlements has more than .six times as much to say as this county with the second city in the state in her limits. Washington, with less than Clatsop has three representatives: we need the aid of Tillamook to eet ene: Douglas with 3,053, to Clatsop's 10,240, has two senators to our one-third of ene: she has five representa tives to our one-half of one. Polk with little more than half our pop ulation has three representatives: Clatsop has a fraction of one. Yamhill, with S,1G4 has two sen sen aeors: Clatsop with 10,240, has one sixth of Yamhill's senatorial representation. "With R,1G4 pop ulation that county has three rep resentatives: with 10,240, this county has one sixth as much. Does this look to von just, or reasonable, or fair? Ts any further argument needed to show the absurdity of the existing sys tem of mis representation? Tin: article of Prof. Charles AY. Shields, ol Princeton, in the Nov ember number of the Crnfury, entitled "United Churches of the United States,'' is asignificent one. "Whether anything practical or not is likely to come from it, it indi cates a powerful direction of the sentiment of our time toward christian unity. Prof. Shields en deavors in his article to look into the respective forms of doctrine, of polity, and of worship "of the great Christian denomination of the country,' in search of the three corresponding grounds of unity which are aiTorded by their dogmatic agreement, their ecclesi astical or political likenes?, and their liturgical culture. It is im portant to note that Prof. Shields finds the first of these grounds of unity to be the least hopeful. "If history teaches anything plainly," he S3ys, "it shows that the attempt to organize churches on the basis of mere dogmatic dissensions will always tend to schism rather than to unity. They oftn delude more Christians thai: i!ny inrlude, and sooner or lati-r go to pieces in some fresh t!i-i5sioii. And even more difficult .tlj it be to connect to-tii.'r riifli.:inT churches.on sucii a l;i-i-." Prof. Shields find a m i i hope ful ground for unity ::i i-ivlesiasti-cal likeness or affinity in church government; but the most hopeful basis, and one which seems to be less visionary, he recognizes in a liturgical unity. This furnishes a bond of union in the region of feeling and sentiment rather than that of doctrinal ideas, or political method. Wrru a population of 300,000, 000 China has not a single insane asylum. This fact does not prove that there are no lunatics anion" the Chinese, but it shows that they are not sufficiently numerous to make an asylum necessary. To what do the Chinese owe their ex emption from brain disease? Va rious explanations are nven. It is said that the Mongolian enjoys mental repose. He does not ret and worn'. As his relisfibn has been established for thousands of years he lets it alone. .Hc cares nothing about politics. There is no competition to stimulate him. All the business ol life is regu lated bv the government. NEW TO-DAY. PRIMARY MEETING. Republican City Primaries TrnOU THE SECOND WARD WILL BE I? held from 12 m. to 3 r. n. on Saturday.
