New Apportionment Bill.
baltimore SUM-

Chairman Dunnell, OF the House Com
mttee on the Eleventh Census, Tuesday in
iroduced another apportionment bill, which
fixes the number OF members after March .,
1898, at 3J6, on basis of 1901 OF popula
ton for each member, This is the appor-
tionment mentioned in the sun recently as
having been agreed upon by the Republican
members. 1t is fairer one than the one
originally proposed by Chairman Dunnell,
and has the merit. it seems, Of preventing
any State from suffering loss. or the gains
seventeen are in States usually accounted
Republican and seven in Democratic
states, a net Republican gain Of ten. As
predicted, the fact that very many Republic
can States are now in Democratic hands
prevents the inclusion in the bill OF pro-
hibition of state appointments within the
decade after the one first made. The ex-
listing law requiring that representatives
shall be elected by districts composed OF
contiguous territory is re-enacted. The ad-
mission OF new States will add TO the num-
Der of $50 representatives. A complication
will arise, perhaps, over the fact that New
York city claims nearly 200, 900 more OF pop
ulation than Mr.. Porter's census gives. This
should entite the State 10 thirty-fve men,
beers instead of tDirty-four, as in the new
Dunnell bill,

rrAL DESIGN OF THE FORCE BILL.

The people Of the United States nave
hardly vet taken in the full scope OF the
enormltv of the Force bill. 1t is generally
looked upon "A Q measure to place 'ne e'ec-
t,ou Of REPRESENTATIVES. 10 Congress unoer
control of Federal supervisors, Fedeia
marshals, and Federal courts for the dement,
of the Republican party. and as the means
by which the Radicals are hoping 10 DC ao'e
10 steal and count in enough members oi
the lower House Of the Fifty-tsird Congress
10 regain, in part, the power whlch 'he'
lost on the 4tb Of November last. But in's
nv no means approaches the fun measure
of the intamy contemplated by this Radical
measure.
Senator Daniel, in his mastery speech on
this subject in the Senate Tuesday,
very full synopsis Of which was publisheu
I'm Thu TIMES Of yesterday-clearly SHOWS
itup in its real deformity. He sounded ine
note of general alarm when he showed that
IN IL ever becomes law 1t will strike VITAL
blow at the very foundation OF the kepuDhc'
At first. under the specious pretence OF
acquiring honesty and fair votes In eisc-
tons, 1t proposes to take charge OF the cleo
ton OF State representatives; then the next
step would be Federal supervision OF
limited States Senators, since Senators are
as much members of Congress and federai
officers as are Representatives. This would
mean nothing more nor less than federSi
supervision Of State Legislatures who elect
United States Senators, and nnally the con-
troll OF the election OF the members oil the
Legislature themselves.
This 10 no mere idle theory. one step
would as naturally and inevitably follow
the other IS the night the day, and when al
length we see our State Legislatures cleo
ted at the point of Federal bayonets ana
bludgeons, and according TO the behests o.
Federal Courts, then the rights ana SOW
ereignty of the States will become Dut
name. and the States themselves Will bear
no more important relations towards the
Federal Union than counties now bear to
the States.
III the people OF the North are deluded
into the belief that the Force bill will apply
TO the South alone, they need only give a
moments thought 10 the consequences OIL
the measure, as herein shown, to be unde-
ceiyed. Placing the election of Southern
Representatives under control OF Federal
authority, and Federal supervision oil the
election OF the Legisl lures of southern
States, and Of Southern United States sena-
tors may be the first steps taken. Let such
q law be passed and fastened upon the
country, however, and in very brief
time the evil will spread, and its effects
will be felt as seriously in the North, East,
and West as in this section. True, the
probabilities are that when it reaches that
stage the people everywhere will clamor for
its repeal, but the Higher House Of the Fifty
first Congress may well and probably
pause before they commit themselves to any
such high-handed and revolutionary legis-
lation.

signor succi.

We have not been disposed to encourage
Signor Succi in his course of fasting, and
we shall not now offer him any advice on
the subject. But we must say that thus
far he has done very well indeed. This is
the thirty-fifth day Of the fast, and II he
should keep 1t up tor ten days more, or till
Saturday Of next week, 1t will then end sue
cessfully. No reasonable person has any
doubt OF his total abstinence from food, the
certificates Of the scientific experts who
keep constant watch over him, and who use
halt dozen instruments OF precision In
testing his physical and mental condition
from time TO time. We do not say that we
hope be will complete his experiment, for
we cannot thus encourage him 10 20 on
with II; but II he should do 90 he will prob
ably receive all the honor due to the most
proficient and proEscted tsster Of the age.

DO the members Of the Farmers Alliance
fully understand the force OF the plank IN
their national platform which demands
that the Government shall lend money to
the farmers on their products at the rate OF
per cent? If the proposition embodied IN
this demand were carried into practical
effect. the farmers would become the bank
ers of the country, whe, borrowing money
of the National Treasury at phenomenaily
low rate, would lend it out at the usual
rate, the difference between the two rates
constituting such a handsome profit that
enormous agricultural overproduction
would inevitably follow from the supreme
effort which those engage in farming pur-
suits would make in order to establish the
broadcast basis possible for obtaining
share Of the Government bounty.
