One Effect Of cens,,s.


Washington, November 13LThe
electlOn aside, the most important
event during the past week has been
tne announcement of the census
TOTALS Tor the United States and for
tne several States, for on these will
0e based the representation of the
States in Congress and in the cleo
toral college during the coming ten
years. Of course the determination
OF the total number of Congressman
depends entirely on Congress, which
may make it whatever it pleases.
Ihere Is however, some reason to
suppose that there will be an addi-
ton OF about thirty members to the
House, as this is the least number
possible that will not require the
representation of any State to be cut
down. If this number is adopted,
che total in the House will be 387
and the total electoral vote will be
Al, necessary to choice 239. Of
the increase of thirty, the New Eng
land States will get two, the east
seven, the middle west eight, the far
west three and the south ten. This
phenOminal increase in the south was
not expected and will certainly
cause renewal of the efforts to cut
down the representation of that sec
tiOn in accordance with the number
of negro voters assumed to have
been disqualified under illiteracy
clauses. AS the Republicans have
iul control of all branches of the
government at present, there will in
all probability be a bitter fight be-
fore this matter is finally decided.
The membership of the House
may be increased further by the ad-
dition of one, two or three States
Oklahoma is the most promising
aspirant for Statehood. According
to the census returns Oklahoma has
1898, ,245 inhabitants, which would en-
title it to two members of Congress
if it were admitted, and, as ii is GUS
tOmary to admit States when they
have more people than necessary for
a Congressional district, it is safe to
assume that Oklahoma will soon be
granted Statehood. 1t has a larger
population than Delaware, IDAHO
Montana, Nevada, North Dakota.
Utah, Vermont or Wyoming and al
most as large as Rhode Island Oh
Oregon. In fact, the population Of
Montana, Nevada and Wyoming
combined is exceeded by that of Ok.
lahoma, and while these have three
members in the House and six Sena
tors, Oklahoma has no representa-
ton in either Chamber, except a del
egate in the House, who has no vote
New Mexico has nearly as many res
sidents as a Congressional district
