Among the multitudinous charges that our
wrathy Democratic brethren are making
against the Republicans is tho charge of
manipulating the census so as to make the
next apportionment unduly favorable to the
Republicans. Among other things it is
alleged that great many negroes have been
overlooked so that the representation from
the South will be cut down. While there is
no doubt the charge is made out of whole
cloth the South would have no good reason
to complain If 1t were true. When the CEN
sus was made the basis of the congressional
apportionment it was assumed that the per-
sons enumerated who possessed the constitu-
tional qualifications would exercise the right
OF suffrage. Had 1t been foreseen that large
numbers OF the persons enumerated as vot-
ers would be debarred by force and fraud
from voting they certainly would have been
excluded when fixing the basis of the appor.
tionment. But this was unforeseen, and II
mas come to pass that some sections of the
South get double the representation In Con-
gress, and all sections more, than they
would be entitled to If the apportionment
were fixed according to the number of the
voting population, which was the basis con-
templated' While of course it would be a
gross outrage on the part of the census emu
merators to ignore the colored people of the
South In their enumeration. or to seek to re-
duce their numbers by careless counting,
the result so far as the apportionment of
representatives is concerned, would be
more conducive to justice than the faithful
enumeration which is undoubtedly being
made, Is likely to be.

The silver bill as agreed to by the confer
-ence committees is not quite as bad as free
coinage, but it is still far from sound and
polite measure. 1t has been evident, how
ever, for some time that the silver men of
both houses were determined to pass some
liberal silver legislation, and that they had
the votes to do 1t. That they have stopped

The sensational stories that have been In
circulation to the effect that negotiations
between Minister Pauncefote and Secretary
Blaine relative to the seal fisheries in Beh-
ring Sea had been broken off, and that the
British minister had notified our State
partment that the naval vessels of Englar d
would recapture sealers seized by our reye-

OF Sir Julian Pauncefote that negotiations
are proceeding satisfactorily, and that he
sees no reason why a solution acceptable to
all parties concerned should not be reached

repetition of the stories, but 1t may prevent

discussing the great questions of the day
Speaker Reed came In for share of the
discussion and the burden Of the song seemed
to be that from Democratic standpoint he
was terrible tyrant, bold dictator, etc.
One Of the old standbys, however. reproached
the Democrats who had been in Congress
with majority and never had the courage
or nerve to dc what the present Republican
Hsuse had done under the lead of Speaker
Reed and others. and there was very general
admiration coupled with denunciation of
Speaker Reed. All of which goes to show
what has long been suspected. that while the
Democrats stand up and yell Tyrant, at Mr.
Reed In public they go around in private
