NORTH AND SOUTH IN CONGRESS
Some Figuring on the APportfon-
ment OF Representation.

The Boston Advertiser has been figur-
ing out the results as they would be dis
tributed among the several States, of a
Congressional apportionment under the
present census, and sums up as follows;
THE number $50, 900 would only fur
Their take away three Northern and four
Southern members, the losing States be-
ing Connecticut, Florida. Illinois, New
York, Virginia, West Virginia and Wis
consin. But the quota 10000 would
further take away nine Northern and
only six Southern members, leaving 164
to the North and 81 to the South. That
is to say, if the South is willing to lose
nine of its present members, it can de-
prive the North of twentY-three of its
members. 1t can do still better by
giving up three more and taking
ten from the North by fixing the
quota at 100000, If that were done,
the changes from the present representa-
ton would be as follows: In the North
the losses would be: Maine 2, New
Hampshire 1, Vermont /, Massachusetts
2. Rhode Island 1, Connecticut l, New
York s, New Jersey /, Pennsylvania g.
Ohio 4, Michigan l, Indiana 3, Illinois
4, Wisconsin /, Iowa /. Minnesota and
Nebraska would gain one each, and
Kansas two In the South the losing
States would be: Alabama 3, Florida /,
Georgia 1, Kentucky 2, Louisiana 1,
Maryland /, Missouri 2, North Carolina
1. Tennessee 2, Virginia l. Texas would
gain two. Under such an apportion
ment, the majority of Northern mem
bers would be but 60. instead of 81, as
at present, and yet the membership of
the House would be reduced by only 40.

Death Rate of Whites and Blacks.

The mortuarv statistics Of this coun-
try show a marked difference between
the death rate in the white and colored
population in the cities North and South.
In Richmond the death rate Of the
colored population in November was
32.1, and of the white people Ill. For
the same month the colored death rate. in
Boston was 36.5 and the white only 81 6;
in Providence, colored 343, white only
1919; in Keokuk, Iowa. colored 40.07,
white only So, marked contrast.
Statistics from the Southern towns which
have reported do not exhibit any notable
difference in the death rate of the two
races. In Selma, Ala, the colored death
rate in November was 1900 and the
white 1872, while in Austin, Texas, the
death rate of both races was pre-
cisely the same-6.5. If the statistics
from the country districts in the
South could be had, they would
no doubt bear out those of the Southern
towns in showing that the colored death
rate does not exceed the white. Indeed,
it is probable that in the country the
death rate of the whites exceeds that of
the colored people. and it is a well
known fact that the latter increase Tar
more rapidly than the whites on the
Southern plantations and farms. The
excessive colored death rate In the cities
is no doubt due to the fact that most Of
them are overcrowded with colored PEG
pie; many Of them are unable to get en-
ployment. and especially in such severe
weather as we have had this winter, ex
posture, lack of food, fuel and clothing,
and other hardships of excessive poverty,
carry numbers to the grave.

Messrs. Garfield and Conkling, though
having served in Congress for years as
leading representatives of the Republi-
can party, have never been intimate.
Before the late election, however, bar
gain was undoubtedly consummated be-
tween them. In return for the support
of the Grant faction, Garfield probably
agreed to conserve Conkling's interests
In this connection the Troy Press
says: Undoubtedly Mr.. Conkling
expected that none of his political
enemies in this State, at any
rate, would he taken care of. Mr. Gar
field now gives notice that he will look
after the cosset lambs like Scnstor Rob
ertSon, General Hustled and the others
who broke the back of the Grant move
ment 1t may be assumed that Senator
Conkling will get very angry over this
announcement, and it may also be as
sumed that Mr.. Garfield will be gratified
because the Senator's anger will lead him
to refuse any offices. Mr.. Garfield shows
the wisdom of serpent in precipitatlng
a contest.

Starvation in Russia.

The reports of distress and restitution
in the great grain growing sections Of
Russia increase in frequency and in
tenslty, and of course cannot be alto
gether ill-founded In these provinces
the rye crop, which yields the only
bread the peasantry ever eat, has been
reported as only sixty per cent. of an
average, while the potato crop has failed
almost as signally. The peasantry of
the communes, when they had paid their
taxes, seldom have more left over than
will keep them through the year and pro-
vide seed for next years crops. 1t is
still impossible, however, to receive
without some grains of allowance the
report of the Russky Vedomosti that
there are /, 100000 peasants either starv
ing or in absolute restitution in the two
provinces Of Samara and Saratov.
These provinces, which are govern
ments" in what is called the
"Cxarate of Kasan," are adjacent
to each other in the middle Volga re-
gion, the great wheat growing section of
eastern Russia, Saratov being on the
west and Samara on the east bank of the
river Two railroads, each branch of
the Muscow system, pass through Sara
tov to the Volga. The combined popu
lation of the two provinces is only about
$500, 900, so that if the report by cable
be correct, one-half of the entire popula-
ton is starving This would exceed the
proportion in the worst famines Of India
and China. Besides their staple agrlcul
tural products, Samara and Saratov have
considerable manufactures both of hemp
and leather. The peasantry, however,
are in wretched condition, and it is in
these provinces that the ravages of the
diphtheria have been most frightful.

President Garfield and the Federal
Patronage

The New York Times publishes letter
from Cincinnati, which appears to have
been inspired by Mr. Garfield or by some
one near him. Referring to Governor
Fosters withdrawal from the Senatorial
contest, the letter says: "He was asked
by General Garfield to give way for the
sake of harmony, and he complied. That
is all there is Of it. Gen. Garfield wrote
that he was one of the men of whom he
could ask such favor, and so he asked.
In so doing, General Garfield made no
promises, suggested no call to the Cabi-
net, and no doubt never thought of issu-
ing such call. Governor Foster is des-
tined for this coming Gubernatorial fight,
and he will remain in Ohio and make it. "
In connection with the alleged pledge of
Federal patronage to the Grant faction,
the letter SAYS: "Gen. Garfield goes into
the Presidential Office as clear from mort
cages, promises and pledges as any Presi-
dent ever elected. He asked no man for
the nomination, and he asked no man for
vote That the Federal appointments in
each State will be largely left to the
people of that State his letter Of accept
ance directly declares. The advice of
Congressman will be gladly received in
all cases, and when that advice seems to
be in the line of the public desire, the
Congressional recommendation will be
indorsed If not Endorsed, the Presi-
dent will be able to show by proof from
the Congressman sconstItuents the cause
and the defense of his action" This is
equivalent to a reputation Of the claims
of Conkling. Cameron, Logan & Co. to
the control of the Federal patronage in
even their several States. If the Gar
field administration lives up to that
pledge of a reputation of the INA
chine, it will be in great part by reason
OF Democratic support. The Grant fac
ton will not support Mr.. Garfield under
such conditions.
