Under the new apportionment
bill no state will lose any represen-
tatives. 1t will give a House of
$50 members, being "a more than
at present. Alabama will gain L,
as also Arkansas, California, Colo
RADIO, Georgia, Kansas, Massachu-
sets, Michigan, Missouri, New
Jersey, Oregon, Washington and
Wisconsin. Illinois will gain 2,
as also will Minnesota, Pennsyl-
vania and Texas, while Nebraska
will gain 3. Ii the election of 1888
is taken as basis of estimating the
political distribution of the twenty
four new members, the Republicans
will have one more than two-thirds
of the addition TO the House; but
il the election of 1890 is to be taken
: as q guide, there will be about an
even division of the new strength.
It will not. under the new appor-
tionment, be too large represen-
tative body. With 100000 popu-
, lation, House of $50 is not
too large. Great Britain, with
35,000,000, has q Commons of 670
members, and France, with 3S.000,-
900, has q Chamber of 557 Depu-
: ties. So, too, Germany and Austria
have much larger Houses, in pro-
portion to the population, than is
proposed for the United States. The
basis upon which the new appor-
tionment rests is the giving of one
l representative to every 173,9e1 in
: habitants.-TSan Jose Mercury.
