ReappOrtiOnment.

Mr., DrSNELL, of Minnesota. is premature
In offering his reapportionment bill.
1t may be all right OF il may be all wrong
We do not know. aud the people cannot
tell until accurate census returns of popu-
lation have been published.
As chairman of the Census Committee he
has had opportunities not accorded the
general public of examining the figures OF
the enumerators, but It does not seem
quite fair that he should take advantage of
this inside view TO launch a plan of ques-
tionable fairness.
He increases the membership of the
House from 1913 to 34 on basis of 10000.
and 1.-The gains are largely in Republican
States. Ohio and Virginia will each lose a
member"
We know very well that the population
OF Virginia far exceeds 100000, for IN 1851
we had 1872, 665, and We would like to see
what the excess is.
IL is in the distribution of these frac-
lions that the adroit politician heaps ms
party's measure, whereas the proper way
is 10 give to the State having the largest
fractions the members not otherwise dis
tributed. If Massachusetts, and Virginia,
for instance, make claimsfor an additional
member and there is but one still unap-
portioned, the State which shows the
larger fraction is the one entitled TO the
member.
No attempt will be made to pass the bill
at this session. THIS Is well Tor the
official figures for Richmond have never
been announced; we have had nothing
more than an approximation for Virginia,
and while MIR. DuySEIL may be better in
formed on this special subject than any
other man in Congress he cannot claim To
have based his scheme upon exact returns
Of population.
The Washington Post quotes Mr.. Dun
NELL as saying that he at first constructed
the bill on a basis of one representative
for each 1881 Of population, but after
wards put it at the higher figures. The
only difference this made was 10 cause
Virginia loss of one member. He had
introduced il at this time so that the COM
mittee could go TO work upon it and re-
port il before adjournment for the summer
recess. Congress could then act upon it
Immediately after assembling. and the act
would 60 INTO effect in time 10 have the
States redistricted by the legislatures
elected this fall"
The importance of this point is in the
fact that the bill contains Il section taken
from the McCoMAs bin requiring the le-
gislatures Of the respective States to re-
district at the first session held after tho
act goes into effect, and providing that
there "shall not thereafter be another re-
districting 10y any OF tho States until the
next reapportionment bill is enacted ten
years hence"
There should not be too much haste in
the matter.
In good time we propose TO examine the
official figures and If, as we suspect, Viz
gini9 has been unjustly dealt with we hope
10 be able TO make it SO clear that fair
minded Republicans from all quarters Of
the Union Will unite with us in demanding
for this old Commonwealth the represent
tation in Congress to which her population
entities her. We may have something
TO say. too. about the basis adopted for re-
superintendent.

The present indications are that the
New York authorities will make at least
one more experiment of imposing the
death-ponalty by means of electricity.
The japanese murderer snrBosuA JuoIoo,
who is now in Sing Sing. is TO be the vic
tim.
All the probabilities are that the new
method will be quite as expeditions and
meYciful as hanging. and with the expe-
Yience acquired in the KExxLER case there
is no reason why the current should not
be 90 applied that death will be as instan-
taneous and painless as If the condemned

The Palmetto Peace

10 ia gratifying to note the PRACTICAL
peace that now prevails In the ranks of the
South Carolina Democracy. The Straight
outs have submitted to the inevitable and
their assent to the work of the convention
yesterday does credit to their patriotism
and their dignity alike. The Tillmanites
being in tho majority in the State and IN
the convention have exercised the privi-
lcce of the majority and nominated the
ticket for election. The peacefulness OF
the proceedings of the convention isa GOOD
omen.
We venture the suggestion that MIR.
| TIILMAN as Governor may agreeably ms
| appoint many of those who have opposed
him in what they thought the interest OF
the State. He il a man of considerable
estate. we believe, actively engaged in the
pursuit OF agriculture. He is a South Car
DINA landowner and thus rooted in the
soil Of the State. so to speak. II elected
he will probably prove a more conserva-
five public officer than his recent party OPP
ponents can now readily suppose. lie mas
every reason TO be conservative certainly
whether in public or in private life, as we
have indicated.
The platform adopted by the convention,
which is elsewhere reported. "realhTms
the platform and principles Of the nationai
and State Democratic party" and declares
that white supremacy is the bulwark OF
our civilization and can only be secured by
Democratic unity" More than is contained
in these two expressions could not ne
asked by any Democrat in Carolina or
elsewhere. We are led to hope from such
utterances the very best things for the
Palmetto State-a Democracy thoroughly
reunited in every respect, and an Anglo
Saxon line fully restored and absolutely
unbroken as of yore, IN the near future.

he has displayed pluck and tact. ability and
judgment. He has agreed to go TO Ohio TO
make some speeches for the Democrats,
and while he is well equipped to discuss
nearly any subject Of congressional action,
he is more fully armed than any other man

licans have been guilty IN unsesting Demo-

1t is not at al certain nor indeed very
likely that the action of the committee In
New York in accepting a design for the
GRANT monument will have the intended
effect of killing the PLUME resolution
in the House. The Senate has asked
that Mrs. GRANT and her children consent
to the removal of the body from New York
TO Arlington. 1t is extremely probable
that the House will concur. If 1t does,
the voice of Congress VIII be accepted by
the GRANT family as the wish OF the
people.

The platform of the Indiana Republi-

that HARRISON, REED, MCKINLEY and asso-

IL flatters BLAINE, too, a little, by APP
proving reciprocity, and it demands the
election of United States senators by the
people.n which is as much as to cay that
they expect the Democrats to control the
Legislature for many years.
