PROBABLE APPoRTIoNMENr.


If it is true that the Republicans of
the census committee in the house have
agreed upon a basis of representation
for an apportionment bill, il is probable
that the measure may not prove OBJ
gectionable on partisan grounds. Fhe
population ratio is named as 173, Sol,
and the total membership of the house
3J6, an increase of "a from the present
number. This obviates the loss of
pember TO any state, and is claimed to
be about the lowest figure that will en-
able ali to retain their representation.
This state will have seven members
and one of the largest unrepresented
fractions, but no probable ratio will
give it more than the seven. The
advantage in partisan way that
The Republicans imagine they will
gain in this allotment is in the
fact that out of the twenty-four
additional members sixteen will come
from states they have been in the habit
of claiming. while the others, which
voted for Mr.. CLEVELAND. have but

Not the Tariff, But Money.

Philadelphia Press (Rep)
The Democratic papers, without a
single exception, are assuming that the
newly-elected Alliance members of the
next house are Democrats politically.
and that they will vote as such on all
tariff legislation that may come up in
that congress. In this they are, we think,
badly mistaken. Secretary Rittenhouse.

THE ALLIANCE IN POLITICS
A Distinction and a Difference.

Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.)
Between the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union, now i'll session at
Ocala, Fla, and the National Farmers
Alliance there is distinction and diff
ference. The first is a Southern Or
ganiza.ion which has gone into politics
on party lines, and has achieved some
measure of success. The National
Farmers Alliance. on the other hand,
is political but not partisan body.
Organized in the Northern states, hay-
ing free scope for its action upon two
great parties, accorded the utmost free
dom OF speech, existing in section of
the Union where every man reads, and
where every corner grocery in the
country is center of political debate,
the National Farmers Alliance can
avoid those rocks and shoals of third
partyism upon which the Southern or
ganization is all but sure to be wrecked.

MATRIMONIAL BONUS.

The last number of the North Amer
lean Review contains symposium on
the subject or giving dowrieS to Amer
lean girls who are eligible to matrimony.
This is Il foreign idea that has not been
naturalized, and has mercenary sug-
gestion about it that disturbs the senti-
ment that is supposed to be the prime
factor in the r0Seate preludeS to do
nestle felicity. The husbands that are
most desirable to have are not likely to
be allured by the bonus to be obtained
as an inducement to marry. There is
enough of sentiment left to look upon
the fair enchanter as an abundant
dowry in herself. The young man who
looks for a wife to afford him support
is good sort to avoid. LIZ the parents
have Surplus of means, and wish to
free their daughters from the contingent
cieS of welded life, they should always
so hedge it that the wife could not be
diSposseSsed of her endowment by an
improvident or mercenary husband.

Old Parties Need Not Fear.

Washington Post (Dem)
There is no reason why any members
of the old political parties whose patri-
otism is greater than their partsanship
should look upon the new movement
with suspicion, much less with fear.
Some individual ambitions may, indeed,
be disturbed, but greater good to
greater number may be gained The
farmers of the country have fully as
large an interest i'll its welfare and
prosperity as any other class of citizens.
They are eminently sensible. practical
and patriotic. They will not adhere to
Il policy which develops a mischievous
tendency. The Alliance movement,
therefore, in giving fresh impetus to
political action, may lead to a needed
revision of old theories and methods,
may have an influence on the correction
of some abuses and may do something
toward giving practical e feet to the
doctrine that government by the peo-
pie is for the people.

Legislation Not the Only Cure.

LeSIsIaIIOH MOI Ute Oniy CUfe.
Toledo Blade (Rep.)
The ultimate success of the Farmers
Alliance rests not so much in present
political action as i'll the thorough edu-
cation Of its followers in economic and
social subjects. Many of the disad-
vantages under which the agricultural
classes labor spring more from lack of
information than from lack of legiS-
lation. Their greatest grievances
cannot be cured by political action.
Cheap money and plenty of it will not
bring any larger returns to shabby
farming, and the control of a governor
ship or a legislature will mot ~ axe pros
porous class that disregards economic
principles.
