THE RE-APPoRrIoNMENT BILL,

Very unexpectedly the census COM
mittee of the house has recommended
that the Hopkins re-apportionment
bill, which provides that the member
ship of the house shall not be increas-
ed, be reported to the house. The COM
mittee stood to 6 on the measure.
This bill provides that the house mem
bership shall remain at 357. By its
provisions Minnesota would gain one
new member. The other states that
would gain are Illinois, Louisiana,
New Jersey, New York and West Vir-
ginia each one member, and Texas
would gain two. While Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska,
Ohio,s South Carolina and Virginia
would each lose one. A fight was
made for the Burleigh bill, which
would bring the membership up to 375
The matter will doubtless be brought
up Immediately after the holidays.
There will undoubtedly be hot fight
madeson the floor of the house against
the Hopkins bill, and it may be sue
cessful, but it's friends think that the
bill will win.
While Minnesota would gain to rep
resentatives instead of one should the
Burleigh bill succeed, yet the Hopkins
bill is undoubtedly the bill that should
pass AS we have said before in these
columns. the present size of the house
is large enough for all purposes. Al
ready it is getting to the point of I'M
wieldiness, and for the best interests of
public business its membership should
not be enlarged. The line will have
to be drawn some time. Why not now
before the house becomes too large.
Under the Hopkins bill, the ratio of
population per district is fraction
over 208, 000 This will not make dis
tricts of too large an area, In fact SO
far as the matter is geographically con-
cerned it will make many of them
smaller, and change the majority of
the remainder but little.

SPEAKS WELL OF EVANS.

A Washington special to the New
York Evening Post has the following
of Robt. G. Evans, of Minneapolis,
who is a candidate to fill out the va
can't term in the United States senate
caused by the death of Senator Davis: :
"Robt G. Evans, of Minneapolis,
seems to be the leading candidate for
the seat of the late Cushman K. Davis.
Mr.. Evans came originally from In
diana, and is nearly as well KIN own
there as in Minnesota. He is a close
friend of Senator Fairbanks, and was
long political co-laborer of Col.
Ransdell, the present sargeant-at-
arms of the senate. He practiced law
in Indiana till 1884. and acquired great
influence among the Hoosier politi-
clans. He was about to be nominated
for attorney general of the state when
he decided to move to Minneapolis.
There he plunged once more into poll
tical life, and in two years had become
the Minnesota member of the national
committee. He served through two
presidential campaigns and then de-
clined a reappointment. He has never
sought public Office, and his pr esent
claim for the senatorship is largely
based upon the work he has done for
the party and for other men in it who
have wanted places of preferment.
Mr.. Evans was close friend of Sena-
ator Davis. At Mr.. Davis instance
he was made United States district
attorney, which Office has been de-
scribed as ''his only reward. The
Minnesota senators intended to secure
for him federal judgeship A bill is
now pending in the senate to create
a new district, which it was supposed
Mr.. Evans would be appointed to fill.

ings and while the terms he asks for

ings and while the terms he asks for
might not be granted, he would find
much leniency granted to his surrender.
But of course Kruger does not want to
surrender That is what hurts him. He
said he would fight to the last ditch,
but he left his country before that
point was reached. But SO far as he is
concerned, the last ditch has been
reached While his countrymen may
be able to make trouble for sometim 9
to come it is not likely they will ever
be able to defeat Great Britain, and it
would seem as though it would be
much better and wiser for Kruger to
obtain for his countrymen the best
terms possible and stop the horrors of
war that must otherwise go on indefi-
nitely in South Africa if the guerilla
warfare is to be continued.

The Goodhue county members have
brought Ex-Governor Hubbard out for
senator, and it is understood will give
him their united support. This would
seem to indicate the "doing" of Tams
Bixby. 1t is not believed that Gov.
Hubbard will cut much of figure in
the contest, as there seems to be a
determination to select successor to
Senator Davis from among the younger
generation.
