will be political, but not partisan,
and as to what party it may ia

lS view OF the approaching meeting Of
the National Republican Committee, plans
for district representation are being ssdis-
cussed. Two plans have been suggested,
one known as the Forbes plan, the other
as the Chandlcr.A1cphcrson plan. By the
Forbes plan each State would have one
deegate.at.lnrge for each Senator, and one
district delegate for each Representative in
Congress, an additional delegate.at-large
ior each Republican Senator in the exist.
ing Congress, and m additional district
delegate for ench Republican Rep
resentativc in the existing Congress. With
respect to the next National Convention,
the existing Congress would be the Forty
eighth, recently elected. Under this plan
the Convention would be composed Of G54
members, OF which West Virginia would
have seven, Ohio thirty-nine and Pennsyl.
vania fifty. By the Chandler-Mcpherson
plan the present basis is retained, and TO
this is added au additional delegate-at-
large and an additional district delegate
Tor each Republican Senator and Represent
alive in ''the then existing or next preced-
ing Congress" The idea Of the option is
to give Republicansan an opportunity for the
fullest representation they could de.
mand on the basis Of their highest vote In
aperiod Of four years. BY this system the
convention would be composed Of 1904
delegates. West Virginia would have thlr-
teen, Ohio sixty.two and Pennsylvania
rightly. .d9 ~

, WASHINGTON, December l2.-The HOUSE
to-day, by nearly thirty majority, defeated
tho bill for the new Congressional library
building. Every body comedies the nece.,.
sty for such building, but the reform
mania has seized upon enough members in
both parties to arrest any further public
works that will cost money. Some years
ago when tho Holman pattern Of statesmen
were dominatingin the House Judge Kelley
in fit Of indignation declared he would
never cast vote upon the basis that the
country had reached a growth and was

library ut this session.

and military bills, making i've In ail 20

toms remarks about appropriations made

OF tho appropriations ut the last session
they were recommended by member OF
the committee Of both parties, with sub.
stantial unanimity, and Ii was not fair for
Senator pendleton to attempt to make
purity capital by charging the Republicans
alone with the responsibility. Tic Demo.
Gratis were responsible equally with the
Republicans for the great increase In
the pension roll, and as to the River aud
iiarbor bill, the record showed twenty
three Democrats voted for II, aud only
three against it; and while sixteen Repu6-
lican Senators voted for It and fourteen
voted against it. Yet the attempt was
now made to have Il appear the Re-
publicans alone were responsible for up
priations which were forced upen them BY
Democmtlc votes.

THE resolution adopted by the Second
Branch Of Council authorizing the joint
Special Committee on a union railroad to
expcnd not more than $500 in a prelimi.
nary inquiry, is not so clear as it should be.
A question may arise whether under this
resolution the river route is shut out OF the
general inquiry, or whether that is 10 be
included i'll the general consideration Of
the subject, in connection with "other
routes, il there can be any found" II this
latter view be what Is intended by
the resolution it is to be accepted as a
very judicious and timely enlargement
Of the scope Of the committees work. 1t
may be possible to find another route
which, in connection with the river front,
will afford the desired iacilities. Thus far
the river route has been thought TO be
essentially the backbone Of any system
sha. might be devised, and It Is not probable
that any plan which leaves that out will
meet the requirements. The resolution
will come before the First Branch at the
next meeting, at which time it will be well
to ascertain just what is intended by the
resolution Of instruction. Any mistake can
be more easily rectified now than later.
