shall be the basis of an app0rtonment OF sen
ators and REPRESENTATIVES and it is entirely
clear that this Legislature, having directed such
an apportionmcnt. has no power, II the spirit OF
fbe Constitution is to be observed, 10 appoltlon
the members of the Legislature for the future
under such enumeration.
TO put the question in its simplest form let
Ms suppoSc that the Governor had called an
cytro session of the Legislature, to be held i'm
mcdiatcly alter the adjournment of Thursday,
for the sole purpose of passing an Appropriation
law which had failed in the last hours of the
session. Docs any one imagine that the extra
session so called by failing to act upon the
ouestion Of apportOnmcnt, would have deprived
tho Legislature elected in 1892 of its power to
enact a law upon that subject? Certainly not (;
and vet the only principle upon which such Il
concusion can be denied is that the session so
called would not be. in the sense OF the Con
stitution the first session after the return OF the
enumeration The Court of Appeals seems
never TO have passed directly upon the qucs-
tion whether or not an extra session called for a
snocial purposc can be held to have BEEN in
tho sense of the Constitution, the next session
of the LEGISLATURE But the argument against
such an Interpretation of the phrase is so strong
that if the Legislature shall meet this week
under the call of Thursday and pass an ap-
nortionment BILL the validity Of its act Will
necessarily remain in serious doubt until II
shall have been determined by the courts.

WILL THE RE4PPOR7IONMENT BE CON

The Legislature of this State has been sum
mopcd 10 meet in extra session this week for
the purpose Of reapportioning the legislative
districts. VIII the reapporionment be consti-
tutional? The Constitution of NcwYori pro-
yides rs follows (Article III, Section A.:
An enumeration Of the inhabitants Of the State shall
lie tnken under the direction OF the Legislature. In the
wear one tlOlsnud eight hundred and fifty five and at
the end Of every ten years thereafter, and the said
districts for the scnatcl shall be so altered by the
Lcgs atnre AT the first session after the return Of every
enumeration that each scnat, District shall contain
as nearly may be an equal number Of inhabitants,
etc
Section ; provides that the Members of As
Sembly shall be apportiOncd in like manner by
the Legislature {" al its first session after the re-
turn of every enumeration These provisions
have an obvious purpose, which is unqneston-
ably that the same Legislature shall not direct
1.-THE enumeration and apporton the representa-
ton naAer it. The Constitution. in fact. care
fully provides that sufficient time shall clapsc,
not only for reviewing and correcting the emu
meration. but for taking the judgment Of the
people of the State, in q now election, upon the
manner in which it has been conducted, before
new apportonment shall be made
The action of the present Legislature, there
fore, in ordering an enumeration at another
time than that specified by the Constitution,
namely, at the end of seventeen years from the
last enumeration instead of at the end of ten
years thcrcfrom, and, in the second place, in
adiournng with the intention of meeting again
under the call of partisan Governor immcdi-
ately. for the purpose of calling this meeting a
new and distinct session, violates at least the
spirit of the Constitution in two very important
particulars. 1t is somewhat doubtful whether
| the Legislature of 1892 had the constitutional
| ri ght to direct an enumeration to be made which
