he Congressional
Districts.

The Dom aldsonville Chief has
published plan for the redistrict.
ing Of the State to provide for the
new congressional district to which
Louisiana is entitled. We think
the plan looks all right. The 9th
and eth districts would be compos-
ed as follows:
Sixth D,strict-Avoyelles, popu-
lat,on 29,70l; Polnte Coupee 25,-
III. West Feliciana, 1864; East
Feliclana, 2o,443; West Baton
Rouge, 10, 2s5; East Baton Rouge,
81, 1853; St. Helena, s479; Livings-
ton, sloo; Tanglpahoa, 1895;
St. rammany, 1885. Total popu-
latlon, 100, $50.
Seventh (new) Distrlct-Sabine
Is, 42l; Vernon, 10, Rapides,
80, 57s; St. Landry, $4,000;
Acadia %, 493; Calcasieu, 3o,42s;
Cameron, 1852; Vermilllon, 90
7O5. Total population, 10000.
The Chief explains It's plan thus:
As now constituted the first and
second districts fall short Of the
congressional basis of representa-
ton. while the other four are con-
siderably IN excess thereof. Under
the foregoing apportloument the
shortage of the first district Is
remedled BY adding to it the sec
ond ward of New Orleans, now in
the second district. The increased
deficiency in the second district is
then made up by adding Lafourche
parish, thus putting the two dis
trlcts on an equality as to popnla-
ton, the difference between them
being only 1874.
The third district, after taking
out Lafourche, still has q poPula-
tion of 257,242, which is further
diminished by withdrawing Yer
million, Cameron and Calcasleu
and adding them to the new
seventh district. From the fourth
district we take Sabine, Vernon
and Rapides, for the seventh. then
transfer Grant to the fifth and
Claiborne to the fourth, this ex-
change bringing these two DIS
tricts within 1866 of each other.
No changes made in the sixth dis
trict except TO withdraw st. Lam
dry and Acadia, which are placed
in the seventh.
The sixth Is the only one of the
districts which tails below 1872, 600,
but the shortage is only 1920, and
this can scarcely be remedied with
out splitting parish, which is not
desirable. In two instances we 90
above 200, 900, tile third and fourth
districts, one in the northern and
the other in the southern part OF
the state.
This plan Of apportlonment Is
submitted TO the press and legisla-
tors of Louisiana for consideration
and discussion, and if it can be i'm
proved or criticised from stand
point Of equity and fairness, the
Chief will be glad to know 1t. The
Baton Rouge Advocate, which ha.
given more attention to the subjec,
than any other paper in the state,
is particularly invited to examine
the Chiefs plan and to compare
it with the one proposed by The
Advocate, which comprises glaring
inequalities that are susceptible Of
easy correction and adjustment, al
our apoTtlonment shows.

Roseland, Tapgipaboa Parish,

Of $4,000 asked by Rowe 4 Best of
Amsterdam, New York, to move
their knitting mill to Louisiana.
We have always contended that a
yarn and knitting mill would pay
in Covingtop, and our business
men could have raised the necessary
$4,000 IN short order. Other North
ern firms will doubtless want to
move this way, and we suggest
that they try our town. We have

facilities 10 make such an enterprise
