Daily Democrat The inventor of the roller skates made over $2011,000 notwithstanding the fact that his pat ient had nearly expired before its value was ascertained. As emperor of Germany, young William" re ceives no salary, but as king of Prussia he has $3,500,000 a year,so he continues to keep house and get along fairly well. . Senator Ingalls regards Government office a .existing for the purpose of paying his debts. I the men who work, "spend money" and get up in the night for Ingalls have a claim on the Gov ernment, why should he not discharge his butch ers and tailor bills by getting them a fat ap pointment? The theory of personal proprietor ship in. the Government patronage is a danger ous one both at the murzle and the breech. Charlie Ross disappeared on the 27th of Au gust, 1874. He was then 4 years of age, so that if now living he would be 18. His story has been read with interest throughout the civilized world and is recalled by a narrative recently published in the Brooklyn Eagle. Long before the time of Ross, in March, 1 86 1 , Charlie Lis penard was kidnapped in South Fifth street, in this city. Although heard from since that time he was not seen again in Brooklyn until last week. He remembers little of his adventures After he was stolen until he was employed on an Indiana farm where he was ill treated. Return ing to his old home he finds his mother an j father yet living.

He also says that Allison will be Secretary of the Treasury, Piatt Secretary of the Navy.Wanamaker Postmaster-Gen. -era!, Alger Secretary of War, a Southern man Attorney-General,and a Pacific Coast jnan Secretary of the Interior. ;Xt is simply remarkable, the amount of money that the republicans claimed never reached the voters for whom it was intend ed. The latest rumor is that $40,000 raised in Pittsburg was appropriated by two republican workers to their personal and private use. .... Replying te the question,uShould women propose marriage.?" the Rev. De Witt Tal- m'age answered : "Why,you are centuries too late in asking -that question. Women always have proposedtand always will pro pose. Wards are very weak things coin pared with womanly affability and loveli ness. The most splendid being on earth is a good woman, and when, with all her at tractiveness, she makes up her mind that it would be well for her to be the wife-of some good man, and that it would be equally well for him, she captures him as easily as a regiment captures the corporal. It does not make any difference whether her tongue proposes or not, her eyes pro pose, her smile proposes, her mode of ent ering a room proposes. Until a man gets from a woman a proposition of that style he had better not make a proposition of his own ur.less he wants to be made to feel ridiculous the rest of his lifetime."

Strange as it may seem, the English "Rotten Borough System,"which was swept away by the reform bill of 1S32, finds a striking parallel in Connecticut. When.in 7818, the present state constitution was framed, th population of New Haven was but little larger than that of the town of Litchfield. Consequently, the cities were given only two representatives in the low er house.the number enjoyed by the towns already incorporated, while the new townB were allowed one representative. The de crease of the rural population and the rapid growth of the cities has at length so Changed the former condition of things that sixty small towns,with a total vote of 11, 851, have seventy-six representatlves,while New Haven and Ilartford.with a combined vote of '9,158, have but four. In fact, a single voter in the little village of Union has a representation equal to that enjoyed by 151 citizens of New Haven. Again, twenty-two leading towns, including Hart ford and New Haven, which cast about 82, 5S5 ballots out of 153,648, the total vote of the state, send only forty-two of the 249 members of the lower house.In the Senate, also, the same evil oblains.by reason of the unfair arrangement of senatorial districts. The flagrant injustice which is thus in trenched behind the constitution is most vividly shown by the fact that, while New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Merlden, Norwich and New London furn ish ten twenty-thirds of the stale taxation, they send cnly fourteen of the 349 repre sentatives. The New York World, In speaking of certain hot-headed democratic officials who say they will resign their office rather than serve under a republican administration, says : Fudge. To democrats about to resign I he norms advice is : stick 1 The offices do not belong to the republi can party simply because it has secured by hook and by crook a majority of the elec toral votes. The offices belong to all the people. They are for the service of all. All contribute to their support. A faithful and competent postmaster or other official commissionea for four years has just as much right to serve out his term as has a Judge appointed for life. The reform principle to which both par ties are pledged requires that there shall be no removal without cause. It Is bad enough to supplant an experienced and efficient public agent with a new and un tried man, for party reasons alone, upon the expiration of his term. It Is a gross mis use of power to remove him before that time. If party pledges nre not respected, a commission of the President of the United States should be. If the republican party wants the offices before ther are vacant let it take them by looting. No democrat should be foolish enough to resign. Babies.
