meet at Topeka, July Is, 1890. One

GERS, elected as prohibitionists, sworn
to enforce the law, will continue to
wink at violations of the prohibitory

to send the word east and north and
south that prohibition is a success in
K ansas; the governor will continue to
pardon highly connected violators, las
in the Lawrence case) and the school

1t has been nearly three months since
County Commissioners Strapathan and
Cool beat the INDEX out of the county
printing. AT their July meeting the
public will have an opportunity to see
if these political tools are real reform
ers or if they are only masquerading
If they are in earnest they will bring
up the salary grab question and have
the officers cover into the treasury
the salaries they have been drawing in
excess of the amount allowed by law.
The population of the county has not
been 10000 for three years and yet that
is the basis on which the county offici-
ais have been drawing their salaries.
And this question is one that the chair
man should not attempt to dodge.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION

1t would appear as il the Republicans
had fully determined to make a Congress
sional reapportionment as soon as they can
get a legal basis upon which 10 figure.
Superintendent Porter, who has the census
in general charge, is reported as saying
that be will be able 10 give the required
statement as 10 the population Of the diff
ferent States by the first dey Of August,
which will afford the Republican majority
in the House ample time TO reappOrtiOn the
Congressional representation before a final
adjournment is taken. They are anxious
10 do this, not because the good of the
country demands II (the good Of the country
does not; on the contrary, il would be well
II the representation were reduced rather
than enlarged), but because they are conf
dent in the belief that the new census will
increase the size Of the Republican deIega-
ton in Congress.
II is asserted that the Republicans an
ticipate curtailmcnt Of the number Of
Congressman now allowed to some OF the
Southern States on the basis Of the popula-
ton enumerated at the last census, while
they expect a large addition TO the Republi-
can delegation from the Northwest, the por-
ton Of the Union which in the course Of the
last decade has made the most rapid strides
in an increase OF population. That there
will be any falling OF in the size of the Con
gressional delegation from the Southern
States as whole, is highly improbable.
There can be no question, on the other hand,
that the Congressional delegation from The
Northwestern States will be very much en- |
