Scientifically Fair.

The states which are now controlled
by the Republicans gain nineteen of the
tWenty-nine extra members of the
House of Representatives and of the
electoral college which the Burleigh
reapportionment measure provides,
and those now swayed by the Demo-
Gratis get ten additional mem bers. The
division is as fair, however, as could
have been made, and no Democrat op-
posed it on the ground that it would
discriminate against his party. The
Republicans are in the ascendant
throughout the country, and any sci
entiically fair reallotment of mem bers
under the census of 1900 would be sure
to benefit them at the expense of the
Democrats. -Globe-Democrat.
