the organization and the basis system. We
presume the operators and their colleagues
know what they are about, and we might hint
that the appearance of their oper....rous
is often deceptive, they driving at Cue thing while
they appear to be driving at another. They evi-
dently think mat the miners are al ways to be
approached in this way. But II they really in

Miners Union if it Is at all possible, shall be

According To the number of taXables, the
average constituency of the Senatorial districts
of the entire State is 26036, aud according to
the population, 100, 545. But Philadelphia it
will be seeu is allotted only four Senators, with
an average constituency of 81, 746 taxables and
l69 43I inhabitants. If, therefore, the Senate
bill passes, it will be gross outrage on tue
people of this city. But there Is stu another
outrage contemplated in the gross inequality oil
the proposed city districts. The First aud second
districts a,e very fairly apportioned, both as
regards taxabes and population; but the pro-
posed boundaries of the Third and Fourth are
simply scandalous. The Third district, which
is to consist of the Fifth,
Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth, and Eighteenth wards, is located
along the river front, where material increase
in population is practically impossible, aud vet
its constituency is cut down to 81 $50 taXabes
and 1877 779 inhabitants; while the Fourth dis
trict, which is to embrace the Nineteenth,
Twenty. first, Twenty second, Twenty-third,
Twenty fourth, Twenty-ffth, Twenty sixth,
Tweuty seventh, and Twenty-eighth wards,
embracing the very section of the city which is
bound to show the largest increase, is given
4S 4S2 taxables and 2l2 327 inhabita nts The
proposed Senatorial distribution is the refore SO
grossly unjust that Ii is to be hoped the House
of Representatives will defeat the bill, even if
the Democratic Senate should pass it.
The proposed boundaries of the Representa-
tive districts give the following number of tax
ables to each:-

The average constituency of the Representa-
tive districts throughout the State is placed at
S592 taxables aud 81, 100 inhabitants. Phila-
delphia, with 10 members, is given an average
constituency of 1868 taxables and 81, 45j inh ibi
tants This is about as fair an allotment in the
aggregate as could be made, although there Is
q gross inequality in the arrangement of the
districts. One of the smallest districts. the
Sixth, with only 1929 taxables, is situated in the
very heart of the city, with prospective
increase commensurate with that of the Ele-
yenth district, which already has 1868 taXables,
and is made up of portions of the Fifteenth
ward, in which the population is rapidly in
creasing. While the proposed Representative
apportionment is free from the gross inequality
which characterizes the gerrymandering for the
Senate, it is yet SO unequal as to demand mate
rial modification before it receives the sanction
of the LEGISLATURE,
