il When Congress takes up the question
of the reapportionment of representa-
tives it will be brought face to face with
the problem of increasing the number
of representatives or of the ratio of rep
resentation. Already the House has 35l
members and is an unwieldy body. Tie
basis of representation is at present one
member for $4,000 constituents. Should
this ratio be maintained there will be
added to the membership of the next
House about fifty-SiX members, making
a total membership of Alb. Aside from
the difficulty of doing business in a body
of such proportions there will, be the
greatest difficulty in seating f1fty-six
members in the present chamber. There
is room for handful more than now
sit in the chamber, but it will be i'm
possible to add fifty seats with desks
without taking up all the space ana
leaving no room for passage behind the
railing. AS each member is entitled to
$4,000 year salary, $1,000 for a clerk
$3.50 for stationery and his mileage, the
addition of fifty-siX members would in
crease the expenses of the House ABOUT
$35O,00O per annum, to say nothing of
the additional cost of carrying their
franked matter in the mails.
On the other hand to increase the ra-
ton Of representation to 200,0 900, when
would leaVe the membership about 1856
or almost the present figures, might
endanger the representation of some
States in the House, and would certain
ly shift the lines of some Congressional
districts so as in many cases to throw
two members of the present House IN
the same district. 1t has always been
the custom to fix the ratio of represen-
tation so as not to reduce the represen-
tation of any State Another serious
/ question in connection with the House
is the reducing the representation OF
the southern States which have dis
franchised the negroes. The census re-
turns will show the number of male
inhabitants of voting age and compari
son with the election returns will form
the basis for the estimate of the mum
/ Der of voters disfranchised.

NEW YORK, August 90.-A special to
the Sun from Washington says:
With the announcement of the popu-
lation of Detroit the Census Bureau has
completed the count of the thirty larg-
est cities in the United States, showing
total of 13,243.515. Already over 3d.
600, 900 persons have been counted, and
Director Merriam is certain that the
entire population returns will be ready
for Congress when it meets in Decem-
ber Enough have been counted so far
to give some idea of the result of the
census.
For some years the opinion has been
prevalent that the census of 1900 would
show a total population of 100000
The returns from thirty cities show an
average increase of almost 80 per cent,
which, if maintained throughout the
country, would mean that the popula-
ton is in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900.

population is as follows: $50 ass

on Saturday the yellow journal pub
lished what purported to be an inter-
view with John Wise, but it appears to
have been another fake like the alleged
interviews with George ID. Gear and
George w. Smith. Mr.. Wise writes a
letter to the Independent from which
we take the following passage:
The Republican is paper very seldom
read and did not know of a supposed in
terview that | had with some of its
"fishy" reporters until my attention was
called TO the article above mentioned.
This is the usual complaint of the
Republicans victims-they are inter-
viewed without their knowledge or con-
sent and without the presence of an in
terviewer. So far fraud, fakes and
filth appear to be the sole stock In trade
of the new and struggling journal.
