THE NEXT HOUSE.

From present appearances the indications
are that there will be a Republican major
ity in the next House OF Representatives,
or if otherwise bare majority for the Dem
ocrats. In Massachusetts,, we gain three
and probably four members. IN New York
the net gain is one OF two members; III New
Jersey, one; in Pennsylvania, seven or
eight; in Ohio it was five; in Indiana, four;
Illinois gains for Us probably five members,
and Missouri four. Iowa, Michigan, Kan
sas, and Oregon each gain one. Califor-
mia gains one, probably two; Arkansas has
adistrict in doubt that may make us gain
of one. Wisconsin also has a district in
doubt, which may give us a gain; in Flor
ida a gain of one is claimed; and i'll Louisi-
ana one more. All these make, say 10
gain (throwing out two or three for mar
GIN, which world make a change of so,
and make the next House stand: Repub-
licans Isl; Democrats 141 with Colorado
new member to be added to the Republi-
can side, giving them 1913, and II Majority.
From this, however, must be substracted
few Republican losses in the South-proba
bly, one in Kentucky, one in Virginia, and
two in South Carolna-making a total Of
four, and change Of eight, which would
leave US but three majority, a G-se calcula
ton.
If we do not gain the House, it is Ger
tain that it will be very close, and instead
of the present large majority, it will be
but few votes, not more than ten at the
outside. This will check, to a very great
extent in the next Congress, the tendency
of the Democratic members to indiscreet
and reactionary legislation. The Senate
will remain Republican by small major
ity. In this we have some hope that
check will be placed upon the administra
ton (if it be Democratic), restraining it
from the plan of plumber undoubtedly laid
down by the Southern members.
