failed to increase with anything
like the rapidity of the Pacific
Coast section or the Eastern
States into which immigrants
have poured by millions. So that,
under any plan of reapportion-
ment, the agricultural Common
wealths will lose in relative in
fuence as compared with manu-
featuring States. This is in
vitable, but these States will use
every effort to prevent an actual
loss of representation in Con-
gress.
Owing to the impossibility of
an exact distribution according
to population, reapportionment
offers many opportunities for
"gerymanders" and for arrange
ments that will give one section
or party advantage over another.
For this reason the reapportion-
ment bill never fails to stir up a
controversy that extends practi-
cally to every section Of the
country. Having majority in
both House and Senate, the Re-
publicans will be able to appor-
ton the members at the present
session according the their own
ideas. But any injustice they
may york toward the Democratic
or doubtful States will be count
ed against them, and they can
not deprive any Democratic
State of representation with
out striking with equal force
some Republican State.
One question that is certain to
come up in this connection is the
limitation of the membership of
the House. That body already
is so large that it is unwieldy.
It's hall is the largest legislative
chamber in the world-too large
for good order and effective de-
bate. If the membership be in
creased to 440, it will add some
half a hundred members. The
growth in population is so rapid
that the necessity for limiting
the number of members of the
House is increasingly apparent.
By the next census our popula-
ton will be far more than 100, =
900, and if the present ratio
is maintained it will run the
House up to a membership of
nearly 500.
Whatever ratio may be adopt
ed, Maryland will not lose a
member, and the representation
of the Southern States appears
to be safe. There is little likeli-
hood that serious attempt will
be made at this session to over
turn the Southern election laws,
annul their constitutional amend
ments and either compel them
to allow the ignorant negroes to
vote or reduce their representa-
ton to the basis of the actual
vote cast. This has been threat
ening, but it would be certain to
meet with defeat. Public opin-
ion in the North is against any
such policy, and even if it were
strongly favored there would not
be sufficient time during the
short session for the Republicans
to put it through.
The Republican leaders will
serve their party best by a fair
and equitable reapportionment,
based on population and not
juggled Ito serve some partisan
purpose. -Baltimo Sun.

Be Seen After Heavy Rain


The total rainfall for the day, accord
ing to the weather bureau, was 1.o4 inches.
Shortly after s o'clock the sky cleared
and there was every indication that
glimpse of the comet in the west might
be caught. w. N. Malone stated that
he saw it little south of west at about
$50 o'clock. He stated that it looked
very much as it appeared a few nights
ago when it could be seen in the east
except that the tail was much shorter.
The comet should be visible any clear
evening now as soon as 1t gets uark
enough.
There will be total eclipse of the
moon tomorrow night, which will prob
