General Walker, ex-Superintendent
of the Census, on Saturday submitted to
the Secretary of the Interior, state
ment concerning the representation in
the next U. S. House of Representatives.
1t appears that the total population OF
the States-49, ,37l $40 with the num-
Der of Representatives at the present fig
ure, -203 would give one REPRESENTA-
tive to every l69, ,0S0 ofpopulation. Up
on this basis there would be the follow
ing changes in Representation in the
Forty-eighth Congress: Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Michigan, Mississippi, South
Carolina and West Virginia would gain
one each; Minnesota and Nebraska
would gain two each: Alabama, Illinois,
Name, Maryland, New Hampshire, Oh

one each, Pennsylvania ana New York
three. There would be no change in the
other States

A FEW REFLEUTIONs.

There is no reason why this country

niense. And still we stagger along under
load of debt. OF course we meet our
interest promptly, but the sum total OF
our Indebtedness remains about the same.
Reformers spring up on all sides and
tell us how these evils can be remedied;
how the Government can be run econonl-
ically, the burden of taxation removed
and the country put upon a financial
footing without parallel in the history
of nations; but somehow or other their
thee ries do not seem to work. And it is
because the people take no stock in the
oretic government Am ricans know
that America--the United States-is al
most boundless ia Dimensions and unex-
ampled in resources, and that, despite
dishonesty IN high places and wholesale
robbery in all departments, it can live
and thrive. The people dislike change.
They have come to believe that the re-
moval of officials, whose many years ex-
perienoe in Office has familiarized them
with their duties, will entail endless an
noyance and complications and disorgan-
ize business, and they submit to many
things which in the ordinary avccations
ef life they would not tolerate Under
the Grant regime the country was rob-
bed right and left. The people knew it,
but they grinned and bore il and hoped
for better times. Under Hayes it WIS
not much better, though that fraudulent
rretsnder, made show of trying 10 run
his Administration economically and well
to the dissatisfaction of the men. whose
Returning Boards had made him Presi-
dent without the shadow of reason exec pit
political expediency.
Years ago-away back in 1901 when
Thomas jefferson became President the
national debt was $S3, 900, 000-it was an
ciOIulOub sum Ut tuhl Llnle-DuJ IN Twelve
years of Democratic administration it
was reduced to s45, 0O0 600. to the admi-
ration of all mankind. But then those
were not the days OF Robeson, OF Belknap
and Shepard. They were tho good old
times when every man prided himself on
the fact that his word WAS as good as his
bond. In twelve years the public debt
was reduced nearly half and the territory
was almost doubled by purchase at good
round figures.
Would that we could make the same
exhibit to-day. Unfortunately. we can
not now, and we will never be able to
unless some of the creatures who feed
and fatten ut the public board are driven
into morited obscurity, and that time will
only come when honest, intelligent vot-
ers have the manhood to vote under

The Next House.

ship of the house is as much matter of
pure speculation as the presidents cabi-
net, Not less than dozen have preten-
tions and hopes, including Butterworth
Calkins, Davis, of Illinois, Hood, Houk
and others. Houk thinks the southern
republicans deserve recognition to the
speakership with view of building
them up. The element of doubt as to
the control of the next house multiplies
candidates, each thinking that he can
command some special strength which
the others cannot, to secure the organiz-
alton. The republicans must elect three
out OF the four congressman in New
York next month; but contingencies IA

organize the house. Brumm, of Penn

greenbacker, and will support the green
back candidate. Lee Crandall says ev-

generally conceded that the excellent
discipline of the republicans will win in
the end. 1t is not known how the ad-
ministration regards the various candi-
dates. Hiscock has probably forfeited
his support by deserting the sialwarts in
the New York state convention, leaving
the half-breeds an easy victory. Some
who are well informed, believe the pres.
ident will favor western man as being
a popular thing to do. If SO, kasson. Of
