Very pitiful stories have been going
the rounds Of newspapers for the last
two or three weeks to the effect that Mrs.
Lincoln, widow Of our late president,
Who came over from Europe on the same
steamer with Sara Bernhardt, appeared
en- her arrival In this country to be in q
very sad state. not only as to health, but
also In regard TO her wearing apparel.
Il was claimed that upon the arrival of
the steamer At the wharf, she appeared
- . lone, sad-fAced woman, In = torn and
soiled cloak, and that she was thrust
aside by the officers OF the vessel, that a
clear and pleasant passage way
might DO made for the divine
Sara to her carriage. It was also re-
ported that after lingering for a
time At . New York hotel in illness
she had gone south for the benefit Of her
hsalth. Mrs. Lincoln was injured by a
fall while In Paris, from the effects OF
which she has not fully recovered, and
h sill suffering. But 1t appears from
the western papers that she has returned
70 her old home in Springfield, Illinois
where she is living with her sister. Mrs
Vivian Edwards. Il IL Also stated that
some 10000 pounds Of baggage was for
varded to Springfield by special car, ad

Many southern politicians think that
the south would be happier without q
member of Garfeld's cabinet than if it
should have one. We don't suppose
they need waste great deal of happi-
uess on this score because they are not
likely to get cabinet position.

appears that there are six congressman

nine gain in the Republican states OF

and Kansas. On the other hand, there

sets, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, and four lost in the Democratic
states of New Jersey, Maryland, Alaba-

THE SOUTHERN STATES
whose percentage of power in the house
was steadily falling from 1910 to 1850,
are now advancing again, their percent
age in 1860 being 34.S; IN 1870, 35.8, and
in 1880, 389
The. rate of their progress has been,
however, slower than the rate of the
western states, which must soon reach
and pass their percentage.
If the number of sections be reduced
to two, called the north and the south,
including New England, the Middle
states, and the Western states, under the
first head, it will be seen that the gains
of the west are not sufficient to Offset the
losses of the east, and that the growth of
the last decade has shifted three con-
gressional seats from the north to the
south. Now the north has 1873, and
under the new apportionment it will
have 1915. NOW the Snrth has 1{AS and
