OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The census of 1870 gave the popula-
ton of the states as 3S,55S,371, that of
1880 was 5O,155, 1855, and in 1890 it was
62,622, $50. If the rate Of increase con-
tinues the same, the census of June
next should give about 5000, 900. With
the increase of population will come the
necessity for reapportioning the repre-
sentation in congress according to pop
ulation. At the last reapportionment
the number of members of congress
was raised by thirty-one members, AID
this in spite of the fact that the rate
of representation was raised from
1871 to 173,9O1. This raised the num-
Der of representatives from 1926 to 1856,
and one has since been added from
of 357.
1t is quite clear why the census is
regarded as of so much importance
among the people of the mainland It
means redistribution or change in the
number of delegates from different
states, and the census returns are care
fully scanned. 1t is thought that there
VIII not De material difference in the
membership of the House, but that
there will be an increase in the ratio Of
representation. If this should be the
case, and the population prove to be
100000, the ratio of representation
would be one member for every 21O OSS
inhabitants.
Naturally this would make material
changes and increase the representa-
ton in some parts at the expense of
others. The center of population has
been steadily working westward for
many years, and it is therefore among
the western states that the gain will
come, at the expense of eastern and
southern states This may have very
important political results in Few
years.
