new YORK WORLDS THREAT

The New York World continues to
parade the bugaboo of production of
southern representation before the
democratic gaze in the hope Of fright
ening southern democrats to desert Mr..
Bryan. 1t calls attention to the pending
Keifer bill which reduces Alabama from
nine representatives to five, Arkansas
to two, Georgia from eleven to six,
Louisiana from seven to three, Mississippi
pi from eight to three, North Carolina
from ten to six, South Carolina from
seven to three, Tennessee from ten to
eight, Texas from sixteen to twelve,
Virginia from ten to eight. Such Il
measure, says the World, would mean
loss to the south of thirty repre-
sentatives in congress and thirty seven
presidential electors.
"What would he left of the demo-
cratic party?' inquiries our contem-
porary.
We have heard all this before AS
long ago as 1896 the Galveston News
not only warned us of the possibility of
the proposed reduction, but actually adj
vocated it. So great was it's fright dur
ing that campaign that Bryan might he
elected, it offered this remedy as IL flu
ture safeguard against democratic sue
cess
But suppose the Keifer bill should be-
come Il law? How would that destroy
the democratic party? Suppose III 1892
the souths representation had been re-
duccd according to the Kcifer plan
Grover Cleveland would still have had
Il plurality in the electoral college of
ninety five. While it is possible that
the party might suffer i'm close elections,
of late years close elections have disap
pcared. y democratic wave i'm tho
north and west would wipe ont the
small advantages the republicans might
gain by reducing the southern repre-
Scntati0n And then there is the prob
ability that such Il revolutionary idea as
the Galveston News SO Strenuously adj
vocatcd, and which General Keifcr pro-
poses, would iniurc the republican party
far more than it would the democrats,
hccauS" the conservative people of the
north would oppose the party that pro-
posed it,
This year. however, the democracy
ut the entire country will cndcavor TO
quiet the alarm of the World by elect
1dg Bryan. Certainly contingency
like that ought to he welcome to an lin
dependent journal SO anxious about the
rNlSt"ncc Of the democratic party.

and the other half young, is Stated to
be 1873 years. or two and a half years
older than elsewhere. The number Of
employees at least sixty-fve years Of
age Is 1852 here as against 4.671 else
where. In comparison with the bread
proportion of the employees Of the civil
service are under twenty-five years of
age. due doubtless to the requirements
of applicants in the matter of edIca-
ton Skill etc. For women in The his
trict no special tendency Is SAID to be
apparent toward remaining in the
service after reaching the age OF sixty
FIVE years. 1t is interesting To nGte,
however, that the proportion OF women
between thirty-five and siXty-hve Is
onsiderably higher in the civil service
than ii Is among breadwinners gener-
ally.
As to marital conditions. the statistics
show that two-thirds of the men are
married, while two thirds of the women
are single. The widowed and divorced
form 205 per cent of the total number

Only slightly more than one-half Of the

tanned their positions through competitive

more than two-thirds is the proportion.
The difference is accounted for by the ia ct
that the postal service outside the District
has developed rapidly. creating positions
which have been filled by competitive ex-
aminations. Two-thirds of the employees
of the service have obt aimed their present
status in the government service through
open competitive examinations. The sur

Response to Charge Of Water Waste
at Kendall Green.

| In a reply TO the Commissioners today
relative to the waste Of water and con-
dtion of the spigots at the Columbia In.
stitute for the Deaf and Dumb at Kendall
Green. DIR. f. NJ. Gallaudet president
| of that institution, informed the Commits
sioners that he has reason to believe
| that estimates made by William McFar-
land, superintendent of the water de-
partment. of the waste of water at the
| institution in question are exaggerated
DR.. Gallaudet declares that the state
ment to the effect that the authorities OF
| the institution showed no disposition to
remedy effects were misleading and I'M
true.
Several weeks ago Supt. Mcfarland
reported to the Commissioners that as
| the result of a thorough investiga-
| ton made at this institution he dis
covered leak of 10000 gallons OF
water day at the swimming pool in the
institution: that there was leak OF
III COO gallons a day in a twO-inch supply
nine and that nearly every spigot and
flush tank on the place was leaking. In
view of the fact that Mr.. Mcfarland in
formed the Commissioners that the au-
thorities at this place showed no dispo-
sjtion to remedy the defects" the Com
missioners brought the matter to the at
tention of the Department of the Interior.
which has supervision over the deaf and
dumb institution.
In his letter to the Commissioners
President Gallaudet stated that the en-
gireer at the institution made careful
test of the leakage at the swimming pool
and found it to be l.3V5 gallons DAY,
instead of 10000 as estimated by the
superintendent of the water department.
He declared that from facts brought TO
his knowledge the assertion that nearly
every spigot and flush tank was leaking
does not seem to be sustained and
concluded by saying that he has every
disposition to see that any reasonable
requirement of the water department In
regard to this institution will be complied
with promptly.
When this letter was referred to Supt.
Mcfarland he reported TO the Commits
sioners that the figures furnished by him
| regarding the waste of water at this
institution were not based on estimates.
! as alleged. but on actual measurement
| and that they are without a doubt ~es-
| sentially correct
