1t is remarkable that the great Wcs'crn
section, which is growing faster than any
other, will gain only two members 10y any in
crease in tho whole number from 293 to 3O7
wlhle the East gains five members and the
south seven. IN feet, tie present number Of
members gives the Western section the largest
Iroportionatc rcprcsentat,onit can obtain. unless
the number should be increased above 3O7.
The East cannot retain its prcscn. number of
members unless tho whole number should ho
increased 10 80. but would have a larger
proportlonate rep, srntdtion n 29S than ut
any other number. The West gets the larS st
proporiiouate representation nj 293 the pes
cnt number. The South gcts the largest pro-
portionatc representation ut 800 members
The votes OF members in regard TO proposed
changes, are likely TO be influenced much by
the effect npon particular States - well as
upon sections, but the effect upon broader
public interests should not be forgotten.

here let there be no such interruption OF tne
Arcadian state. Indeed, it Is scarcely credl-
BILE that Republican madness would go so Iar
as to undertake to create discOrd here. Ana
if it did, it is very certain not only that the
gentlemen who have hired so many halls and
brass bands to bring about this pleasing state
of affairs would stamp out any attempt TO
disturb it, but that the general public,
charmed aud delighted with the daily demon
STATIONS of affection between the brethren,
would rise up in opposition to any Interior
ence with the show.
Still less would the public view with any
sort Of favor an attempt to SOW dissension
among individual leaders. To distrust the
cOrdaity existing between Mr.. Kelly and
Mr.. Tilden, OF between Mr.. Tiden and Mr.
Hendricks, or between Mr.. Hendricks and
Mr.. English, or between Mr. English and Mr..
WattersOn, or WattersOn and Hewitt, or
Weaver and Sparks, or Cox and Springer,
would be in the public estimation an unjusti-
fable and objectionable offence. The specta-
Gle offered by these gentlemen locked in each
others affectionate embraces is one that the
community to whom it has been so long fla
mliar will not willingly give up. Any at
tempt to set these leaders at variance would
be Indignantly frowned down. In fact, we
do not see where the Republicans can begin
"sOwing discussion in the Democratic ranks"
with any reasonable show OF success. Let us
hope the fendish design will be abandoned,
if not on account of Its brutality, then be-
cause it is impracticabe.

This is Shcrman's day to DO in the Cabinet, and
Fosters day off,"
As Congress has not enough time loft for success
full mischief IL might devote itself TO the novel
perience of doing little good.
The record OF the Democratic Congress on appro
priations will be handsomely rounded out this year
by u General Deficiency bill Of $25,000000. They
began to reform in the appropriations for 1877
cutting them down about $4,000, 600 below those
of the last Republican Congress. In the following
year they refused to make any appropriation for
| the Army, and cut down the total appropriations
about $35, 600 900 more. This ended the reform"
| Tie appropriations for 1870 were TS3 DOC, 600
greater than those for 1875; those for 1880 were
| S74. 600 900 greater and those for 1881 were
$65 900 900 greater The average increase for each
| wear over the last Republican appropriation was
is 600 900, or $40 600 600 during the five years
| The addition of sos 600 600 now In the form of o
deficiency makes highly instructive exhibition Of
Democratic economy as expounded by Speaker Ran

There is excellent authority for the statement that
Richard Wagner is still cherishnG the idea Of coming
to this country for the purpose of bringing out soe
of his latest compositions. In q recent commu-
nication on this point from his friends and advisers
in Germany there is no mention Of the 81 600 600
demand which was received with so rnuch dorision
in some circles when it was made public last year.
The performance of " Parsifsl" in the summer of
1882 is looked upon first step in tue revival of
his festival scheme. and for this he needs q great
deal Of money. Naturally perhaps, he shares the
common Continental iaea that the place from which
to draw unlimited funds is the United States. AT
any rate his friends say that despite his sixtyseven
wears he will soon be on his way to this country.
