A LOCAL Republican contemporary
amuses it, readers by 4 statement
that the failure to pass the apportion-
mcnt bills, and consequently the ne.
ccssity for an extra session Of the legis.
lature, was owing to the delay Of tho
House in acting upon these bills.
What innoccnse ? That the House
passed apportionment bills and sent
them to the Senate for concurrence
where they laid about two months be.
fore the committee Of that Discreet
body Of stalwarts in control, cav prop
er to report anything upon the sub.
ject, goes for nothing. That the SEN
ate delayed consideration ofthc appor.
tionmeuts until near the close of the
session, and then used all the methods
known to trickstcrs to prevent the
passage ola decent bill. is, to the mind
Of our innocent contemporary, salts.
factory evidence of earnestness for
prompt legislation, and that the House
and the Democracy are responsible for
the extra session.

The Real Meaning Of Fair Bills.

There is every prospect, says tn,
Harrisburg Patrjot, that the extra
session Of the legislature will be bric
and its work satisfactory. The rcpub
lican press in all parts Of the state
and republican county conventions
wherever they have been held are both
frank and emphatic in their demands
for "A fair apportionmcnt. If the rc.
publican senators and members Of the
assembly will accept these uttcrance.
as instructions to guide their votes, all
grounds Of difference between the
parties will disappear and fair bills
will be readily agreed upon.
1t is not certain, however, that these
republican papers and conventions
fully appreciate the force Of their own
language. For example fair appor-
tionment bills in the language Of Scua.
tor Cooper mean probably measures
that viii give the republicans q mem
Der Of congre,s for every 22,oOO voters
and require 10000 democratic voters
to secure such representation. Some
of these papers and conventions may
even regard the outrageous combina-
ton Of counties and communities
created by the McCrackcn bill a fair.
The putativc father Of the bill, Nena.
tor McCracken, does not 10 regard it,,
but under the influence Of the party
lash he was compelled to vote for it

THE most important OF General

head OF the royal family Of Manras,
Colorado. and the legitimate chief Of
the Apache nations. 1t j. said Of him
that in his earlier life he had been such
a lover Of women, peace and poker that
the older braves looked on him with i'll
concealed contempt, aud he won the
sobriquet Loco, which is n Mexican
word signifyiug "fool" All raids were
conducted by Niotorio, while Loco
played "ante' on the reservation. On
the death Of Cochise, however, he show.
ed that he could organize and lead

both the United States troops and the
authorities Of sonora and Chihuahus,
Mexico, great deal Of trouble. Being
now in custody, il is hoped that this
savage will be shut up aud taught TO
