A Problem in AppOrtiOnmsns.

A nice little problem in apportion-
ment will confront the Legislature ut
the very threshold Of the next session.
The Constitution limits the total number
of members of the House to So; It also
provides that each county shall have at
least one Representative. The present
appOrtionment (made in 1887 distrib-
utes the GO members among 45eOunties.
Since It was made another county, St,
Lucie has been created, which is en-
titled to one member, who has been
chosen, and who will be at the capital
to claim admission. In order to accord
such representation and still keep the
number of members within the consti-
tutional limit, some one Of the counties
heretofore represented must be deprived
of q member. Which shall Il be?
No act of q legislative body contain
ing more than the cOnstitutionally pre-
scribed number Of members would be
legal, hence the member-elect from St.
Lucie must wait for admission until q
new apportionment is made
Since 1897, when a new apportiOnment
should have been made, but was not,
seven counties have each had one mem
Der more, and seven other counties
have each had one member less, than
they were entitled TO under the plain
provisions Of the Constitution. Whether
the actsAo of the Legislature since 1897,
done by body not lawfully constituted,
were valid, is legal question which
has not yet been raised in the courts. -

For Speaker Of the HOuss.

Hon. John A. Graham, Democratic
nominee for the Legislature from Man.
atee county, has decided to become a
candidate for election to the speaker
ship of the House of Representatives
of the Florida legislative session of 1907
Mr.. Graham is perhaps one Of the best
known business men in Florida, the past
twenty years having been spent hand
ling lands and large milling and manu-
featuring enterprises which have
brought him prominently to the front
as business man and in contact with
the business interests Of the State. Civ
ing him large acquaintance in every
county, sllOf which will go to strengthen
him in his race.
Mr.. Graham is a man of tact and re-
markable ability, and we doubt II he
will have an equal on the floor Of the
Legislature in the matter of general in
formation concerning State affairs. He
is also a fine parliamentarian, and
would therefore make q fine presiding
officer. For these reasons the Journal
takes pleasure in endorsing and COM
mending him 70 the consideration Of the

tives.

To the Editor Of the TiKss-UniOn

Dear Sir-I notice that a card has
been going the rounds of the State
press for several days past, endorsing
the action of Gov. Broward in granting
a respite to CaldW ell and Larkins 1.-THE
convicted murderers of the late Hon.
N. W. Eppes), signed by J. o. LaFon-
tisee. 1t is difficult to understand why
Mr.. LaFontisee should go into print on
the subject, unless it is for the time
honored Democratic doctrine of for
revenue only" as he comedies that he
is entirely ignorant Of the evidence in
the case and that his doubt as to the
guilt of the prisoners is based entirely
on his conversations with them. He
also remarks that the confession of
the negro hung ought to be taken into
serious consideration at least. Here
also displays dense ignorance of the
case, as the death statement of this ne
gro Qsham Edwards) has been thor
OIghly investigated and proven by
sworn affidavits (now on file with the
plrdoning board) to be false in every
material detail.
These criminals were tried and con-
victed by the circuit court upon the tes-
timony of Isham Edwards, which was
corroborated by strong chain of cir
cumstantial evidence the Supreme
Court has sustained the verdict on the
evidence submitted to the trial court.
The pardoning board. after fully inves-
tigating the death statement Of lsham
Edwards and the attempted alibis Of
the prisoners, has refused the apphca-
ton for communication of the sentence.
Now, why should any private individual |,
and especially one who is confessed y
ignorant of the evidence in the case,
persist in setting up his opinion as
against that of these eminent men Sc
lected as their representatives by the
people of Florida for such work, who
have considered and passed upon the
case?
Yours truly,
r. H. BRADFORD.

SENATOR CoRMAN
PASSED AWAY.
Death Cams Monday hOFAiAS AfesI
An Illness % Five hOHthS'
nnSntfaA.

The dispatches from Washington on
the 4th brought the following account
Of the death of Senator German, Of
Arthur Pue German, United States
Senator from Maryland, died suddenly
ct his residence in this city at 800 this
morning.
Up to the time Of death Senator Cor
man was conscious. His condition dur
ing the past week had improved 30
much that yesterday the family had
hopes Of shortly taking him TO the
country. He pArtOok Of come nourish-
ment at 8 O'clock this morning but at
8 O'Clock he was seized with heart at
tack and died in five minutes: At the
bedside were Mrs. German, Miss Ada
German, the Senator'S eldest daughter,
and the nurse. When the attack came
physicians were sent for, but the Sen
atOr was dead before they arrived.
Senator Germans illness extended
over a period of FIVE months. He had
not left his home since January l6. He
suffered, in addition to his heart affec-
ton, with more or less stomach trouble.
A week ago last Saturday ne was seized
with heart attack and it was thought
then that he could not survive, but he
rallied and seemed to get very much
better.
UP to last night he was in the best of
spirits and chatted with various mem
beers of the family. AS soon as he
passed away word was sent to the
Senate.
Senator German leaves a widow and
six children, as follows: Miss Ada Cor
man, Mrs. William ]. Lambert, Mrs:
r. A. johnson, Mrs. r. W. Hills, all Of
this city; Mrs. Stephen Gambrill, of
London, Eng, who arrived here q week
ago, and Arthur Pue German, Jr., Of
Laurel, Md, a member of the Mary
land Assembly.
While Senator German had been i'll
for q number of months, he had shown
some improvements lately. Heart
trouble was the immediate cause Of his
death.
In Senator Germans death the Dem
ocratic party loses one Of its brainiest
and most useful men, and the country
at large most useful citizen.
