THE APPORTIONMENr BILL.

Intense interest Is being manifested
over the rumored veto by the Governor
of the Congressional reapportionmeDt
bill.
The opposition to the proposed
changes is especially stronRi 10 the sixth
district. Congressman Otey is bring
log to bear ell the powerful influence
be can control ID prevent the chang.
ipg of the lines Of his district, and Sen
stor Daniel and Mr.. Glass are ably sup
porting him. Maj. Daniel spent long
time with the governor last night dis-
GUESSING the MISTER. HettronRly urged
the governor not to approve the bill.
The Governor has given no intimstion Of
what bis action will be. Some Of the lawyers
in the legislature declare the Governor has no
power in the mstter, Congress having vested
it in the legislature, and II the Governor
vetoes 1t the question will be taken into the
courts such procedure would bring about
confusion in the coming elections, and these
men say the Governor cannot afford - take
al action that will create such political
tsngle.

THE DANISH WEST INDIAN SCAN
DAL.-The Senate will not act on the
charges which have been made con-
corning the purchase OF the Danish
West Iudies. The question of an in-
vestigstion was discussed in executive
session yesterday after Senator Bacon
had introduced a resolution asking the
President TO defer action under the
treaty until the charges could be
thoroughly investigated. The foreign
relations members we're opposed to the
proposition. Senator Nelson said that
be did not consider that the charge,
originating, as it had originated, with
persons who were unknown to the
Senate, worthy OF that body's serious
consideration. In his opinion to take
auy such step as was contemplated by
the resolution under the circumstances
would be an insult to the government
Of Denmark. He did not for a moment
believe that the Danish administration
had made any contract to pay sny com.
mission for the sale OF the islands, nor
that any money had been paid officials
or the press, as had been charged In that
connection, in the negotiation With the
United States. Senator Hanna denied
sll knowledge of Mr.. Christmas or his
mission, and expressed his opinion that
the transaction, so far as the United
States government was concerned. had
been perfectly clean. Mr.. Bacon finally
concluded not to press the matter.

1T APPEARS that Rathbone's friend
at court Is Senator Hanna. Rathbone,
who now stands a felou, comes from
Olio. I[e had been Hanna man in
the fight Hanna made for election TO
the Senate and before. He was promi.
nent in the politics of the State, and
had held Office under several admins
trations, just as Ohio men like to do.
Senator Hanna's efforts 10 bshalf of
Rathbone, it is said, are due to the
friendship existing between the two
men and the Ohio Senator's belief that
Rsthbone was guilty of nothing more
than a lavish expenditure of public
funds, believing that he was acting in
accordance with strict honesty. Well,
if this is Mr.. Hsnna's idea of honesty,
and should he ever become president
there would be little left OF this country
after mis- friends got through footing it.

Dependency Led to Crime.

Barkhamsted, Conn.,, April 2.-The condi.
ton OF Miss Elsie Richards, who shot herself
yesterday after shooting her mother, is criti-
cal today. Mrs. Richsrds's condition this
morning is favorable though the bullet has
not yet been extracted. Investigation re-
yealed the fact that the money which sup
ported mother and daughter was all goue
The daughters illness prevented her from
supporting her mother, and fearing that the
elder woman might be- left without q pro-
tector, she attempted to kill her. 1t now
seems probable that the daughters fears will
be realized, rs the doctors give little hope for
her recovery, while the mothers life will
doubtless BIO saved.

1.-THE OTHER FELLOW"

The organ which has been uoIHs
the speaking for the Anderson poit-
,col machine last night admitted the
defeat of the bill TO give Akron new
form of government, but placed al
the blame for this result upon the
Youngstown Senator aud Representa-
tives.
And over in Youngstown they re
putting the blame on the Akron rep
rcscntatiyes.
There Is small satisfaction in all
this FOR the taxpayers OF Asroh-Who
FOR two wears more must bear the bur
dcns which the City Commissioner
system puts upon them.
Blaming "the other fellow has ever
been the eXpedient of politicians nho
self-seeklng public officials when calico
upon to answer to the people for thel
unpopular acts.
II remains to be seen whether TINS
lame excuse will avail TO protect then
from deserved rebukc in this instance
of broken pledges and betrayal of thu
public interests.

THE POWER OF THE PULL.

Against the protest of Representa-
tive Buchtel the House yesterday con-
Cured in the Senate amendments TO
the bills increasing the salaries OF
Akron's firemcn and policemen, mean
ing that the increases will 20 into
effect on the first of next September
without further reference to the
wishes of the taxpayers of Akron or
their ability 10 pay the large added
charge put upon them by the citys
employees
Opinion may he divided ms to the
merit of the increase asked by the
firemen and the policemen, but there
will he no division of sentiment In
regard to the manner in which the
higher salaries have been saddlcd
upon the taxpayers.
1t is u steal, and is being so charac-
terlzed on all sides today by prop
erry owners who will be taxed to pay
the $4,000 or 100000 which the bill
adds each year to the expenses of the
city.
Great Is the power of the political
pull which made the passage of this
measure possible
The time and the opportunity are
not lacking to put through the Gen
eral Assembly amy measure intended
TO benefit the spolsmen and the tax
eaters Of Akron, but the bars are NJ
to all bills for the benefit Of the peo
pie.
And tho people, on, they are
finding ample reward and satisfaction
In shouting protests because a politica
boss who has been disappointed in his
effort to add the office of City Clerh
TO his other subsidies!
Small tubs appcase the Whale o
public Indignation in Akron. For lhi,
We have the word Of an authority IL,
less than the Akron Beacon.

A SURPRISE THIS TIME, SURELY.
California as Il State surely sur
prises us all, What can't they pro-
duce? We thought we knew all about
the oranges they grow out there. but
now they get us by sending out new
orange, it's called "Botcllas.' WE
don't know if the name is good or
not, but we do know that the oranges
are fine-are very juicy-have but few
seeds, and are nice tasting. Navel
oranges are past season now, so many
are poor and dry that we really think
that the "Botellas'' are the better of
the two now, mt this season.
We have another orange received in
same ear. called "Sequoia." They are
very juicy; have few seeds, and are
quite sweet. The growers claim this
Is because their orchards are located
in Placentia. one of the most favored
orange sections of Southern Califor-
mia. and that tlcir orchards are high
ly .fertilized. thoroughly irrigated, cul
tivated and pruned, thus 'nsuring higl
favored and juicy fruit. Then they
still further claim it's carefully hand
led and kept out of the sun after he
ing clipped off the tree until it reaches
the packing house. that the packing
house is located on the ranch and that
the fruit is hand graded and sorted
| II don't seem as II they could claim
more good things for this fruit. But
