Pittman, beg leave to report the following:
 Resolved, First That in the death ofour distinguished Circuit Judge, the Circuit loses one of it's best loved and ablest Judges. and the bar is bereft of one of it's purest and strongest members.
 He was one of the greatest law yers our state has produced, and during his long and brilliant ser- vice on the bench, covering a period of fourteen years, the charge of favoritism or unfair mss has never been made against him. He was courteous to the highest and to the humblest, an upright man. and a Judge. He was close to the hearts of the people, and they believed in him. He always held the scale of jus tice with a firm and impartial hand. He had great brain but a kind heart. He would come down from the bench where he always presided with dignity, and would freely mingle with the peo- pie, whom he loved and who loved him, and in whose hearts he will always live.
 Resolved, Second:- That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of this Court; that the District papers be asked to publish the same, and that a copy of the same be fur- nished the family of Judge Pitt man.

UHOuSe Will Be Increased.o .o


 While the intentions of the Census Bureau was to make no reports on population until Jan- uary, 1901, some facts of the re- cent census leak out, and what has been learned furnishes a basis for the following estimate re- garding the apportionment of representatives,:
 "Little thought has yet been given to the new apportionment. It is generally taken for granted that the ratio will be fixed at about 200, 1000, which is, in round numbers six times the ratio adopted after our first census. With a total population of 75, ,000,- 900 Exclusive of the Territories) that ratio would fill 375 congress sional seats, to say nothing of the increase by the admission of new States. There are now 357 seats in the House, the apportionment of 1890 providing for 356, and Utah supplies the remaining one.
 ''While theoretically almost every one would agree that the House is plenty large enough now, and that it's membership should not be increased, even from 357 to 375, the chances of Congress doing less for itself than that are very small. Ten years ago such a ratio was selected as would leave Vermont, which had increased in population but four one-hundredths of per cent, in possession of what would entitle it to two districts. Nevada has declined in population, but as it had but one district before no loss was possible.
 ''In this way all the changes in the quotas of States were in the direction of increases. This is much less embarrassing to mem- bers of the House than when the slow growing States are cut down in representation, as has sometimes been done, in which case two sitting members often have to scramble for the same district. Sometimes the local gerrymander, however, produces this perplexity.
 "Whether a 200, GOO ratio would leave every State now having two Representatives or more with less than it's present quota cannot be determined until the figures are all in. Massachusetts, if it held the same rate of growth that was exhibited between 1880 and 1885, when the State census was taken, undoubtedly would get an additional district at that ratio, for it's population would run close to 2,800,000. Wash ington State in the decade be- tween 1880 and 1890 increased it's population 1885 per cent, grow ing from 75,O00 to 350,O00. It went ahead of Vermont, the first State after the original thirteen to be admitted into the Union. If Washington has kept up any, thing like this ratio of growth in the decade just closed, several of the eighteen extra seats which the 100000 ratio propably would provide would have to go to her. The States that more than doub- led in the decade ending 1890 were the two Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Washington. What State will be the surprise of 1900 ?"

'SThe Man Without the HOc.V

The New York Sun has pub- lished the following interesting item which relates to the late Collis P. Huntington:
 The death of Collis P. Hunting ton makes it proper to say now that he was the Responsibility who offered through the Sun a year ago the prizes of S700 in what was widely known at the time as "The Man Without the Hoe" competition. He wrote to the Sun on July 26 of last year:
 "Either the Man with the Hoe is type of the great mass of those who use farming implements for 8 living, or else he is an exception. If the latter, then the strength of the sentiment uttered lies in the concealment of it's weakness; and, if the former, then the poem does wrong to a most respectable and able-bodied multitude of citi zens, every one ofwhom ought to resent Mr. Markham s attempt to throw the emptiness of ages in his face,' and certainly deserves better of the poet than to be called a 'monstrous thing and brother to the OK
 "What about the man with the hoe? he who cannot get work, or having an opportunity to labor, and won't do it? There are thousands of young men in this country who have been educated up to the point where the honest and healthful occupation of their fathers in the field has become distasteful to them, and in many cases they have grown to be ashamed of it and of their parents.
 In European countries, partic- ularly, there are multitudes of young men, the younger sons of titled people, for instance, who have been taught that common labor or work in the trades is be- meath them. They must have money but they must earn it only in 'genteel' way.
 "These are the men without the hoe-the real brothers of the OK. Who shall tell their story ? Who shall sing the bitter song of the incapables who walk the earth, driven hither and thither like beasts by the implacable senti- ment of a false social education, suffering the tortures of the damned and bringing distress upon those dependent on them because they have lost that true independence of soul that comes to him who dares to labor with his hands, who yields the hoe and is master of his destiny?"
 It will be news to many people that Mr. Huntington concerned his mind with questions like these. That his prizes did not elicit any poetieal production ad- equate to his own ideal was to De expected. The incident, how ever, is not the less honorable to his memory.
