constitutional convention districts.
Their initial meetings were held dur
ing the past week, and they will prob
ably hold frequent sessions hence
forward in order to advance the work
before them
Under the law. the board is charged
with the creation OF districts "as near
equal in population as may be-" Al
ready there is talk, however, of limit
ing the representation in some coun-
Ties and swelling it in others for par
tisan advantage. For instance. it is
stated by those In a position to know
that this Oklahoma-county is to
have but four districts at the most,
Notwithstanding the fact that the pop
uiation clearly entities us TO FIVE.
Il happens that a scholastic enumer-
alton has just been completed in this
city Here is the latest and most re-
liable basis upon which the board can
possibly act This enumeration dis
closes that this city has right at 5000
school children s,976 being the exact
figures which would indicate here,
ON the commonly accepted basis of
fiye inhabitants to one school child,
approximately $4,000 population. Out
side OF the city there is easily $4,000
population. The assessors returns
for the present year are incomplete,
but measured by the returns OF year
ago this deduction is reasonable. Ac-
cordingly the population OF the coun-
~ is about $1,000, on a conservative
estimate
There are ffty-five convention dts
tricts TO be carved out OF the terri
tOry's 100000 population. Taking
these figures as basis Il is clear that
these districts should contain popu
iation OF 1857.
From the $1,000 population In this
county It is also clear that we are en-
titled to fye districts instead of four
three in the city and two III the coun
try II we get less than that the Re
publican party mutt bear the onus oi

st. Thomas may now be reckoned as

In Santo Domingo German agents are
reported as buying up all foreign
claims, so that German warships may
have the provocation, if the opportun-

Of German possession. In Venezuela
there was Germany's formal tender
for the island Of Margarita.
But in Haiti the Teuton's activity is
so persistent as to be dumbfounding.
On the eve of the last presidential
election posters were scattered over
the capital by which it appeared that
one of the candidates, Cincinnatus Lee
