Congressional AppOrtionment.

The announcement that the total pop
ulation of the country Is about 10000.
600 will awaken discussion as to the
next apportionment of members of the
House of Representatives among the
states, says writer in the Philadelphia
Press. Another incentive to such de-
bate is the probability that Congress
will pass the new apportionment bill
during the coming winter, so that it will
apply in the election of representatives
in 1902. AS the ratio Of population to
members to be adopted will affect the
power and influence of states in Con-
gress and in the election OF Presidents
during the coming decade much interest
will be displayed until this question is
deter mined.
There is no doubt that the ratio of
population to representative will be
increased, but what that increase will be
has yet to be decided. To continue the
present basis, which Is 173, 90l, would
insure House of about 437 members, or
eighty more than the present member
ship. This Is larger increase than has
been made after any census, although ut

membership has been increased. Il. NAV
be enlarged again under the census of
1900, but not by nearly 25 per cent. In
a dispatch from Washington printed in
the St. Louis Republic" September q
last, a scheme was outlined for new
apportionment, based on the supposition
that the population of the country would
be found to be about 10000, 600. The
basis taken for representative was APP
parently 100000 Of population, produc-
ing House of 3Sl members.
This would necessitate an enlargement
OF twenty-four in the membership of the
House of Representatives, or about the
average increase ia the five latest ap-
portionments. According to this caleu-
lation, four Eastern states would gain a
total Of six members of the House of
representatives., the middle Western
states east of the Mississippi river would
gain six members, the Western states
beyond the Mississippi river would also
gain six members and the Southern
states six members, or an even allot-
ment among the four groups of states
into which the country is generally d.
vided.
By this apportionment Maine would be
reasonably certain to retain her present
number of congressman, which is very
much desired in the State by all parties.

Hon. Roger WalscoIt of Boston and
Hon. VIM. Whiting of Holyoke, were
chosen Presidential electors t-large and
an elector from each of the 10 congress
sional districts was named The only
contest of the convention was for the
office of auditor, for which there were
three candidates. 1t took three ballots
to decide the question of who should be
the nominee.
The chief feature of the convention
outside of the regular program was the
presence of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
who made speech in which he eulo-
gized Senator Hoar, urging his re cleo

Hon. J. Fl. Manley has made fore
cast of election figures, based on in
formation received by the National Com
mittee and upon consultation with
colleagues. 1t gives President Mckinley
266 of the 447 electoral votes, or AZ more
than the 224 necessary to election. This
is within five votes of the 27l which
President Mckinley received in 1896.
Mr.. Manley's forecast allows Mr.. Bryan
112 votes, and leaves 60 as doubtful. All
of the liz votes conceded to Mr.. Bryan
by Mr.. Marley are in the solid South,
and all of the doubtful votes are In the
South or Northwest, except the 10 of
Indiana. Mr.. Manley personally be.
lieves that Indiana is safe, but he puts it
in the doubtful column, because of the
traditional closeness of the State and the
fact that in 1896 the Republicans carried
it by only eighteen thousand plurality
out of the total vote of 100000. These
figures are not widely different from
those given by the New York Herald as
published by US last week and appear to
be reasonable.

Colby is fortunate enough, more so
than any other of the Maine colleges, in
having a man in her student body who is
undertaking difficult work in collect
ing volume of stories, to be known as
Colby Stories. This man is Herbert
Carlyle Libby, present member of the
junior class at the institution above re-
ferred to. Mr.. Libby is a son of the late
Hon. |. G. Libby, the father being we'll
remembered by Maine people as "The
Cattle King of Maine" and later as the
promoter and builder of electric lines in
this State. Mr.. Libby commenced the
work of collecting the present volume of
stories over year ago, and by diigent
pursuit and with considerable expendi-
ture of money he has advanced the work
so far, that November next will see the
work upon the market.
The book will contain some $50 pages.
All of the contributions in these pages
will be written by prominent Colby

The city of Calais and the city of
Augusta furnish instances of enforce

Temperance Union for the State held its
annual convention at Calais, and immedi-
ately upon the close of the session the
aldermen gave evidence of the salutary
influence of that convention by passing
a resolution declaring that the prohibi-
tory law should be strictly enforced and
that the presiding justice of the next
term of court be notified that Calais ex-
poets strict construction of the law
with the extreme penalty for every con-

were ordered to close every drinking
place and attend to their duties more
closely. In Augusta the city marshall

The government has been well sus-
tanned in the parliamentary elections
thus far held in England. The principal
issue Is the South African campaign.
Up to Saturday, AL members had been
officially declared elected and the rela-
tive strength of parties was as follows /:
Ministerialists, 301; Liberals, II Nation
alists, 60; Laborites, 8. Thus far the
ministerialists have gained % seats and
the opposition 10, which would give the
government an additional l6 votes on a

country is with the government, evident

rily enforced, it follows that it should
be repealed, beginning with resubmis-

carried away by this sort of sophistry.
They do not believe that the panderers
to vice should be the chief money
makers in Maine cities or that their
votes and influence should dominate
politics. The duty of reinforcement
should dominate the temptation to sur
render to the grog shop, whether that
temptation be political or fiscal income
or whether it be the panic of local OPP
ton or personal license posing as per-
sonal liberty.
