census Under the last census one rep
!resentative was given to every us, sol.
persons or major fraction Of that num-
Der. This made the house membership
357.
1t is understood that an effort will be
made to. keep the membership down to
az near that number as is possible In
framing the new legislation on the sub
ject, as it should be. To accomplish
this, the apportionment will be about
one representative to every 100000 of
population. On this basis, Illinois, New
York, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and
Texas will each gain two representa-
tives, and Arkansas, Colorado. Connec-
ticut Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,,
Missouri, New Jersey, North Dakota,
Washington and West Virginia, Will
gain one, while Kansas, Maine, Nebras-
ka and Virginia vii leach lose a repre-
sentative.
As previously noticed in the Times
| Republican, in connection with the leg
lislation relating to the reapportionment
iof representatives from the southern
states problem presents itself which
has long existed. but which now presses
flor solution as it has never done be-
fore. 1t is known that the representa-
ticn in congress from the southern
states is based on a census that includes
the masses OF negro population, who un.
der democratic oppression have neve,
4 been allowed to vote. 1t is expected
naturally, that the democrats from this
south Will oppose strongly any attemp
to cut down their representation, bu
the working majority of the republican
lin congress is sufficiently large to follow
any line which may be determined on a
\ just and equitable.
4 This promises to be a serious Issue
when the subject is taken up for practi
cal consideration, and if the south suf
fers a loss it will be because she has in
vited such a result.

..soMEoNE HAD BLuNpeRED. .

The discovery of technical error in
the language of the biennial election
amendment which extends temporarily
the terms of the wrong set of officers is
one Of the most remarkable cases of leg
islative carelessness known in American
.legislation. To think that SO simple a
document should be drawn by a lawyer,
pass four different legislative judiciary
committees, two legislatures of two
bodies each, should be signed by two
speakers of the house, the lieutenant
governor and governor, be subjected to
full discussion in political campaign:

any one discovering the error until some

In attempting to prolong the terms of

elNvise have to be elected in the off-Sear
when under the amendment no election
would occur an error was made in writ
ling the date 1901 instead of 1902. SO that
the terms of the wrong set of officers
are affected. The purpose and intent of
this part of the amendment il plain. In
ichanging from annual TO biennial cleo
Itions it was necessary to bridge over
one period Of one year to bring the
terms of all officers up to the same year
| of expiration. The Insertion of a date
which applies to another set of officers
| not intended to be affected by the
amendment at all is manifestiy an err
sror and Will be so construed by the au-
thorites but whether the courts can
1 make a construction of the amendment
liberal enough to prevent endless litiga-
| ton is question.
Public opinion will have to rush TO the
3rescue and SO chastise any pettyfoggine
\ official who tries to take advantage Of
the error to prolong his term against the
wishes of the voters that he will give VI
his contention. BY liberal use of this
