MinorIty RepresenlatIOn.

The proposition Of Mr.. Springer
to introduce the proportional plan
Of representation in the election OF
Congressmen is one to which oppO-
silion on any ground Of justice is
simply impossible. But, in addition
to the argument Of justice and equal
political rights, one Of the strongest
reasons for supporting it appears in
the certainty that it would put an end
to sectional politics. Mr.. Springer
says that one Of the greatest benefits
he anticipates from its adoption sis
that which resulted from it's intro
duction in Illinois-namely, the de-
struotion of sectionalism. Nothing
would so strongly tend to alley sec
tional auimosity and prejudice be-
tween the North and the South as
would the election of thirty or forty
government representatives from the
latter, and a corresponding increase
Of opposition representatives nom
the former. There ar
desire to break up Soueas-srss-u- y
who do not see the equal importance
of breaking up Northern party sol
idity. Proportional representation
would certainly effect that result In
both sections. Chicago Times.

Maj Jonas was a military prisoner in

The returns Of the census thus far
given to the public show that the
South has grown in population more
rapidly than the North. The popu-
lation OF the two sections compares
as follows:
1880. 1870. Increase.
South .......l9,s ,slO,429 l4,s79,Oa5 "a
North .....sO,S4 $50 25,5I9,lI8 y
The great point, however, Of the
census, will be the Congressional APP
portionment based on 1t. How will
this affect the two sections? The
most popular ratio OF apportionment
suggested is one member for every
1876, ,666 inhabitants, which would
give us House OF about 800 men,
bers. Under this the Congressional
gains and losses would be Gains
Arkansas l, California 1, Iowa 1,
Kansas, 3. Michigan /, Nebraska 2,
North Carolina |, Mississippi l,
South Carolina l, and Texas 4.
Losses-Indiana 1, Illinois l,
Maine l, New Hampshire l, New
York 3, Ohio 1, Pennsylvania 2,
Tennessee l, Vermont l.
Net gain for the South 7 T; net loss
for the North 3.
Even il some other ratio be agreed
on it will not change the general re-
suit, and the South will be stronger
in the new Congress than ever be-
fore.
