New Legislative hpportionment.

The matter of a new apportlonmeHt OF
tho legislative classes of the State is one
that must come up for consideration d'
the present session of the Legislature
Section or Article of the constitution
of the state provided that THE House
of Representatives shall consist OF l''
members. that at most once in every 10
wears and not oftener than once in five
wears the number of inhabitants of the
state shall be ascertained. exclusive Oh
foreigners not naturalized and Indians
not taxed. The number of representa-
tives SHALL at the several perioos vi
making such enumeration be hXea anu
apportioned among the several counties
as near as may be. according to the num-
Der of inha bitants. having regard to the
relative increase of population
Section 3 of the same article provides
that every town having 1900 inhapitahts
is entitled to one representatives, 3'Jo. TWO
$50. three: 1850, four; 1900. five; 100
six u, 80. seven; but no municipality can
eyer have more than seven and towns
and plantations not having the required
1900 men shall be classed into districts
containing the requisite number, land,
W
of representatives shall be 200, different
apportionment shall take place upon the
above principle: and in ease the 1900 shall
he too large or too small to appoftloh
all the representatives in any county, 1t
shall be so increased or diminished as to
give the number of representatives &C
cording to the above rule and proper
ton; and whenever any town or towns.
plantation or plantations not entitled TO
elect representative shall determine
against d classification with any other
town or plantation. the Legislature may,
at each apportionment of representa-
tives, on the application of such town or
plantation, authorize it to elect Il repre-
sentative for such portion of the time
and such periods, as shall be equal to its
portion of representation: and the right
of representation, so established. shall
not be altered until the next general APP
portionment."
So in apportoning tile representatives
the municipalities containing the requi-
site number of citizens within the re-
strictions of Section ,, for one, two,
three. four, five. ~siX-a and seven repre-
sentatives, are first taken out and then
the rest of the county is divided, In
cases where a municipality is slightly
under the requirements of class, wheth-
CT it gets the extra representative or not
depends largely upon whether or not it
has voted right regularly, in the opin-
ion of the dominant party. The division
of the smaller towns and plantations into
classes is generally made according to
the same standards.

The Old Down East Fight.

Oliver l.. BoWley. representative in the
14th Legislature from swans Island,
Hancock county. was at the State House
Monday, and will remain in Augusta for
d few days looking over the situation in
both branches pending the renewal of
the old fight between the Down East
wermen and seiners, or the fishermen VS..
the sardine packers which will come up
again this session. as it did four years
ago when the fishermen won their con-
tention.
Mr. Bowlcy had but little to say for
publication except to say that he was
much interested in the proposition to
have the fishermen given a better chance
to get herring bait al tho weirs than is
now afforded them, the packers at the
present time being able to keep their
large boats anchored near them waiting
for bait while the fishermen with their
smaller boats are at disadvantage.
The meat of the present contention. Mr.
Bowley says. is that the weirmen claim
that there are too many seiners and the
seiners contend that there are too many
weirs and that they contribute to the
cause of the herring forsaking the Down
East waters
Mr.. Bowley was asked for his opinion
in regard to the proposed close time on
Holsters during the summer months
which it is said that the wholesalers
will urge this session. Speaking of this
he said II believe that the lobster CUES
ton will come nearer solution when
better method of supply is adopted by the
government. and 1 do not believe in spe-
cial close times on any sort of fish Lob

the late Senator James b. Mullen ar
rived in the city Monday evening. Sen
ator Irving said that he was very glad
that he was able to be at Bangor over
Sunday as he had the opportunity
which was denied him at the church of
looking upon the form OF his friend OF
many years as it lay in the casket sur
rounded by magnificent display of
flowers.
Maine has sustained a great loss,
said Senator Irving in speaking of his
dead friend. We were associated to-
gether for years and no one ever knew
him as Democrat or a Republican by
his public utteranceS for he was not a
speechmaker. 1t was in the commit
tees that his most valuable legislative
work Was done and there he shone as
a most valuable man and there his loss
will be most deeply felt
1t is understood that the brother OF
the late Senator Mullen. Charles W.
Mullen of Bangor, who was the Demo-
cratic member OF the special commit
tee on the enlargement of the State
House, will in due time be rendered
