MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
The Next Legislature.

Tho next Legislature of this State
WILL be most important one. The
State will, after the present census is
officially promulgated, and prior to the
election of 1892, be re-districted in
to Congressional, Sena torial and Rep
resentative districts. should the popu-
latlon of tho State re- ch 3, 900, 900. This
population, with the present ratio,
would give the State nineteen mem bers
OF Congress in 1892 instead of fourteen.
The State senate will remain the same
numerically under the Constitution, but
territorially the districts may be very
much changed. st. Louis and Jackson
County will lay claim to another Sena-
tor each, a demand not likely to he ad-
mitted and instead of gaining St Louis
may be cut down to five and Jackson
County increased to two Senators. The
number of members in the Lower
House will be decreased either two or
three. These will be taken from the
districts now with more than one mem
Der. An increase in the population of
the State reduces the number of mem
bers in the Lower House of the General
Assembly, every ten wears, unoer the

A COMMISSION INSPECTION.

Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall On
cIaIIy Pronounced Finished All the
Members Present Excepting Mr.. Phipps-
Mr.. CarneEie's Portrait on Private View
Chairman Scott COmpIimenEed.
Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall
was officially inspected by the Carnegie
Building Commission yesterday and pro-
nounced finished, as it really is with the ex-
ception of some trihing details.
With the exception of Mr.. Henry Phipps,
who is floating up the river Nile, in Africa,
on dahabeyah. the entire commission was
present. Mr.. James B. Scott, Chairman;
Mr.. Adam Ammon, Mr.. T. A. Parke, Mr..
John Walker, Mr.. G.. W. Snaman, Mr..
Arthur Kennedy and Mr.. Charles Davis,
consulting engineer, comprised the group of
gentlemen present. Mr.. Adam Ammon
takes the place of Hon. Hugh Fleming, de-
ceased. Mr.. Gray's death left vacancy,
but it had not been filed.
The entire building was gone over in de-
tail, and the exquisite taste which has pre-
vailed in the final arrangements OF the
original plans received the highest COM
mendation from the members OF the commits
sion. Music Hall, with its noble Roosevelt
organ, was especially praised, and the gen.
tlemen fingered long in the critical lnspec-
ton of the final features of the library
proper. By request Mr.. Bryan Wall. the
artist who has painted Mr.. Carnegie's por-
trait for the huge gilt frame which forms the
centerpiece of the great fireplace in the
Library, was present and fitted up his mas
terpiece in the frame for a few moments.
The portrait is clearly-cut and accurate
likeness of ''the Star Spangled Scotchman"
and will be permanently placed in a few
days.
After every portion of the edifce had been
gone over the commission held formal
meeting in the small art gallery and accord
ed formal vote of thanks to the Chairman,
Mr.. James B. Scott, for his virtual superin-
tendence of the practical details of the con-
struction of the buildings, and his indefati-
gable exertions while serving in that capacity.
Some triiing details were attended to, and
the commission adjourned.
The musical columns of THE DISPATCH
this morning give the public some further
information as to the date of opening and
the good things which may be expected by
the nublic

examination should be received after the
commencement Of 20-day term before the
date of the examination. The commission
failed to notify the Pittsburg Civil Service
Committee until this week. Applications
filed after last Thursday would not be re-
ceiVed, but it was decided TO receive all
filed up to yesterday, despite the rule. The
place of holding the examination has noe
been determined.
The question of what percentage OF the
successful or "eligibles" Of the examinations
ofFebruary 4 and August 2, 1889, had Sc
cured appointments in the Office proved to
be interesting. Ofthe February list of 65 and
the August list of over 20 "eligibles" but
two appointments were made last year. This
speaks volumes for the eohesiveness of Post
master Larkin's forces, but does not hold
out much encouragement for the 125 who
are to run the gauntlet next Tuesday week.
Even should new allotment of clerks be
made for Pittsburg, the list of "eligibles" Of
August would take precedence be,ore those
to be examined.
When a vacancy occurs within the scope
of the Civil Service rules, the Secretary of
the local board picks out three of those
whose grading is the highest and submits
them to the Postmaster, who can pick any
one of the three. The certificate has to be
posted in the postoffiee corridor, so that he
who runs may read. Under such eircum-
stances it seems like modern exemplifca-
tion of the old saw, "Hope deferred maketh
the heart sick"
By the rules of the Postofice Department
the inside officials and clerks of the Pitts
burg postothce are obliged tofurnish to the
incoming postmaster bond equal In amount
to that already held by Postmaster Larkin
for the identical position. Thus the ap-
pointiVe officials are under double bonds
during the interval between the close Of
business on January 81 and the opening Of
the Office on February 1.
