RE.AppORTYONlNENT.


The number of bills for re.district-
ing the state already presented SHOWS
what difficult question this VIII be
to deal with, and how complex 1t Is
liable to become. There is but one
way in which the difficulties Of the
case can or ought to be met. All
questions of political preferment, OF
this or that congressman's interests,
or of any mere personal consideration
should be set aside and utterly ig-
nored. and the apportionment made
on the basis Of the peoples interests
alone. 1t really seems that the peo-
ple's interests demand that South
Texas ports should be divided; and
the division should be made without
reference to political preferment. The
100000 people who are to comprise a
congressional district, they are the
ones TO be considered i'll this reappor-
tionment; and ifthe legislature should
succeed in making this division so
that those people would be represent
ed In the best manner, they would
have earned the country's best graft
tude.
The governors message recon-
mended division of the representa-
tive districts on basis Of one to every
10 900. which would give the state $50
representatives. IL can scarcely be
claimed that this is best on any part
of the ground. Leaving the question
of economy out of the consideration,
there is the objection that the House
is already somewhat unWieldy, with
only 1906 members, and with an adj
dition of forty-four it must necessarily
become harder to manage The House
should be kept at the lowest number
which could properly represent the
states vast interests, as a small body
is in better condition for transacting
business understandingly and with
dispatch. A basis of 1000 or $4,000
would be better than $4,000.
The judicial districts call especially
for care and forethought. The state
demands that these districts shall be
divided and the courts of appeals 10.
Gated in such a manner as to serve
the interests of economy and expe-
dition of business, so that the laws
may be administered with the small
est possible expense and trouble.

TINE ENOUGH FOR STATE ADOP-

1ION,
The public school book bill, over
which such heated contest was had
in both the Senate and House last
year, which became q law without
the Governors signature. and which
was later found to be imperative as
it was without an enacting clause, is
again holding the time of the legisla-
tors in this short called session. At
the last session the idea of State pub
LEGATION was very thoroughly scotched,
but State adoption still holds the
boards. THE STATESMAN is of the
opinion that this is a matter about
which the Legislature should go very
slow. State adoption means when
such a law is put into effect, an inn
mense expense to the parents of the
State. it means virtually the purchase
alb initio of all the school books in the
State, and the friends of the measure
cannot intrench themselves behind the
plea that this system once adopted
would mean infinite cheapness in the
future, for there is in the law reserved
the right of its amendment, and also
of change by tho school board. Every
two years might see sweeping
change in school books, with hum
dreds of thousands of dollars expense

"Oh, Pm up here doing little fight

q STATESMAN reporter yesterday.
"This text book bill is an outrage upon
free people, and I'd like to see it de-
feated so badly it would never dare to
lift its head again. 1t is a blow at
progress and development. The state
has just as much right to select certain
poets and say 1 shall read them and
no other, and that though other and
better poets may arise in a year or two
they shall be ignored. The develop
ment in text books is as great as the
development in farming machinery,
and the state has no more right to
force certain text books upon the peo-
pie than to force the farmers to use
certain machinery for cultivating
their land. Talk about paternalism
If this text book bill isn't paternal-
ism, where will you find it?''

ted Yesterday.

HARTFORD, Conn, May 9.-St. Jo-

with all the pomp, power and resources
of the Roman Catholic church. The
services began at o'clock this morning
with the conservation of the cathedral
proper and the main altar by Rt.' Rev.
Lawrence T. Mcmahon, bishop of the
diocese, assisted by 10 priests from vari-
GUS churches in the state. An hour later
came the conservation of the five side
affairs, each consecrator being an emf
nent divine, assisted by six priests and
five laymen. At 1890, pontifical high
mass was celebrated by Archbishop
John j. Williams of Boston, assisted by
Very Rev. Vicar General James Hughes
and IS priests. The sermon was preached
by Archbishop John j. Hennessey of
Dubuque, Iowa. An elaborate musical
programme was rendered by quartette
from New York and choir of 100 select
ed voices with the st. Cecilia orchestra
of New York. At 4 o'clock, Bruno Os-
car Klein of New York, gave an organ
recital which lasted about an hour. Large
audiences thronged the cathedral all
day. In the evening, the cathedral was
brilliantly illuminated for a pontifical
vesper service. The sermon was
preached by Bishop Healy of Portland,
Maine.

ST. JOHN, n. B., May 8.-The most
disastrous fire in this vicinity for many
years occurred today in Fairville vii
lage one mile from the city. 1t started
on the roof of school house from a
spark, it is supposed, from locomotive.
The wind was blowing so miles an hour
aud the building was soon all on fire.
Pieces of burning timber were carried in
various directions and in less than half
an hour dozen or more buildings were
in flames. The city apparatus went to
the scene but could get very little water.
The fire was virtually stopped by tearing
down buildings. Altogether about 35
dwellings are in ruins. Nearly all the
occupants are poor people, many having no
lies are homeless. Tonight mattresses
were put in the churches for those who
needed shelter, and all were provided
with food. The buildings were all of
wood and, with few exceptions, small.
The loss is estimated at $75, 900; insur-
ance about $4,000

Maine Mans Sad Story.

HAwERHILL, May 1.-THE statement of
District Attorney Moody that Guy Ros-
well Brown would plead guilty has excit-
ed much comment here, where his fathor
is now living. The Indictment will
charge him with being accessory to the
murder of David Sanborn, and at his
plea he will receive life sentence. His
father has spent all of his money in the
hope of saving his son, having sacrificed
his home in Livermore, Me-, and until
within a few days was confident of saw
ing his son. The consent to this plea
was gained, it is said, through the recent
discovery of popularity in the bullet
that caused Sanborn's 7do9th, which cor
responded to a defect in the revolver of
Browns, and which would not occur in
one in a thousand revolvers.
This evidence was so conclusive that
the counsel for the defence virtually gave
up the case. Brown will now plead gull
ty as an accessory, and it is believed that
the state has now some evidence as to
the other party in the crime. Brown has
thus far said nothing, even to his father.

shipbuilders.
