The Census May be Utilized at This Session

|
WASHINGTON. D. c., July 22.-Congress-
man Frank, who is member of the COM
mittee on election of president, vice pres1-
dent and representatives, said:
''The committee will take up the subject
of the reapportionment just as soon as Su-
perintendent Porter can furnish the figures.
l see no reason why we may not complete
the bill and report 1t at this session of con-
gress. Mr.. Porter said same days ago that
he would have the figures ready by August
| Is, but from the progress he is now making
l should not be surprised if he would be
| through with the count so that the commit
tee can get to work soon after the LIST of Au-
gust. What the committee will want to
know as soon as possible will be the popula-
ton of Vermont, Connecticut, North Caro-
lima and one or two other states which may
have decreased somewhat IN population since
1880. My idea is that we shall report bill
which will not decrease the present repre-
sentation of any state, and which will give
additional representation to states which
have had the largest growth of population.
This can be done, probably, even though we
increase the basis of representation from
10000 to 175,000. If two or three of the
small states like Vermont only hold their
own in population they can still be given the
representation they have now by lowing
representation for the fraction. 1t seems
to me that this plan of allowing the older
states to retain their present representation,
and giving to the states which have grown
most an increased representation will create
the least friction and be generally accepta-
BILE. / believe the plan can be carried out
by making the next house consist of about
twenty-hV members more than the present.
Instead of $50 we will have house of 355 or
359, perhaps"
: To the inquiry if the bill viii be reported
in time to pass the house at this session, Mr..
Frank said: 81 think so. The house will
have nothing to do in August. We shall be
waiting on the senate. The committee can
perfect the bill, and the house can pass it
easily before the last of August. There is no
reason why the next election cannot be held
under the apportionment. It is not neces-
sary that the states shall be redistricted. The
bill will provide that those states which are
entitled to increased representation may elect
members at large to fill out their quotas. In
states which have held their conventions and
made up their state tickets, the reapportion-
ment would necessitate a new convention or
nominations by the state committee"
Mr.. Franks statements are interesting and
important. They give the first definite in
formation which the public has had of the
intention to report reapportionment bill at
this session of congress.

Russell Harrison,s Psper.

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 19.-There is a
good deal of comment in political circles
over the very lively attacks which have been
INDUCED in recently by Frank Leslie's news
paper on Secretary of State Blaine, in view
of the fact that one of the editors and pro-
prietors of the periodical is Russell b. Har-
rison, the presidents son. Opinions are
divided as to whether the attacks are family
matter or political, or whether the whole
thing is simply an advertising device with
the view of demonstrating the independence
Blaine to discuss the publications have
proved useless.

German in Indianapolis Schools.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 19.-What is pop
ularly known as the German question" has
been decided by Judge Rowland. The deci-
sion is in the suit of Theodore Sander against
city of Indianapolis, IN which the court was
asked to issue mandate requiring the board
to have German taught in the lower grades
of the schools. Judge Rowland holds that
German must be taught; that the school
commissioners have no discretionary powers
in the premises and therefore cannot abolish
the teaching of the languages in any of the
lower grades of the pubic schools.

there was any truth IN cable dispatch stat

Lord Salisbury, has declared the intention to

Indian Commissioners.

Ell RENO, l. T., July 19.-The Indian pow
WOW continues at the agency every morning,
and the commission express themselves as
very hopeful. The Cheyenne leaders have
exhausted their thunder with the commits
sioners, and have abandoned the field, ex-
Decting thereby to break up the work of the
commission. The progressive Indians have
taken fresh courage, and are pressing mat
tiers, and have almost come to the govern
aent's terms. In a few days the little diff
ferences between the government and the
Indians can be arranged satisfactory.

stopped by local authorities proceeding to
declare them nuisances. As to enJolnlng
state court by a federal court, the Judge was
not clear as to the right or power to do 1t.
The courts should, he said, keep and act IN
their special jurisdiction and there should be
no conflict with them. 1t should not be pre-
umed that courts act upon their own voli-
tons, or that Judge of cour acts on this
own volition- There must be some force
behind the court and some proper cause for
action. 1t may well be said, he admitted,
that in enjoining a ministerial officer, the
court is enloined, but to his mind there was
nothing unwarranted in enjoining a minis
terial officer from doing something which the
sion that the enjoining of the states court
by the federal court was step which he was
not prepared to take. He therefore refused
the application so far as it affected Judge
Spilman, but granted temporary injunc-
ton restraining the county attorney and the
sheriff from taking any further action.
This is the first time the question of en-
joining a state court has comeEsquarely be-
fore court. In all the applications made
heretofore, it has been sought to enjoin only
the ministerial officers of the court-the
county attorney and the sheriff. The federal
court, in granting the injunctions, has de-
clared that the effect and purpose of the in
junction was not to enioin the court. but
only the officers in their private capacities.
The states counsel has taken and maintained
the position that the effect of the injunction
is to stop the machinery of the court. and
therefore it is an enjoining of the court it
self. for the court acts only through its
officers.
