House Of Representatives.

There are three hundred and fifty
six members in the house Of repre-.
sontatlves as now constituted and
some very interesting facts may be
obtained from careful observation
OF the distribution of these congress-
men. New York has the largest num-
Der OF any state, having thirty four
members, just twice as. many as the
eight Pacific Coast and Rocky mount
ain states combined. New England
has twenty-six congressman, which
together with New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, gives that section
OF the country ninety-four congress
men, only twelve less than the fifteen
states included in the entire South,
which has one hundred and seven
members. The great South and West
united has one hundred and twenty
four members, fifty-four less than
half OF the entire number of congress-
men.
West ofthe Mississippi there are in
all but eighty-tive congressman. while
the other side is represented by two
hundred and sixty one, There are
fourteen states which have together
but twenty-five representatives., while
seven other states, only half the nun.
