Icso a representative. We therefore recommend h. House consisting of. Uvj mem fcelü. . "In reaclilnj: this number we have &loptrl the method uevl by the committee tn J have followed the precedent established, by the House in 1V72. when the lioue added to the whole number of representatives a representative each for the States of New Hampshire and Florida by reason of the fact that they each had almost a majority- fraction after the whole liumbf-f of representatives had liven apportion. We take the computation based upon a 3SI basis upon a ratio- of one representative for every 19I.1S2 of population Nebraska with a majority fraction of til and Virginia with a majority fraction of 10.5l6 each lose a representative and Ct no representative for the majority fractlon in either ca.e. The?e are the only States having majority fractions that fail to Ret a representative therefor. This eems to us an Injustice. Therefore, folic wins the precedent in the case of New Jlampnhire ami Florida in 172. we ast;n to each of these States one reprerentative for each majority fraction., thus addinsr two to the whole numUr. mäkln In nil under our proposed bill 26 representatives. "Under this the gain i as foltows: Arkansas. California. Colorado. Connecticut. , Florida. IiOui?lana. Massachusetts, Mi?.i:Jppi. Missouri. North Carolina. North Dakota. Washington. West Virginia and Wisconsin pain one representative each; Minnesota. New Jersey and Pennsylvania Rain two; Illinois. New York and Texas pain three. "Wo 'submit that this apportionment, involving .n increase In the membership in the House of twenty-nine, is in line with the uniform practice of the House In increasing it size so as to keep pace, as near ns may be. with the increase in population of the country. No practical inconvenience a? to the seating capacity of thi House tan result of this inereise. A plan prepared by the architect of the Capitol shows that a slight lengthening of the outer row of seats In the tody of the hall will accommodate the additional representatives." Mr. Crnmpueker Report. The independent report of Mr. Crurnpacker is a lengthy document, which goes exhaustively Into the abridgment of the right of suffrage in the Southern States. In the beginning he quotes the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, providing that when the right to vote Is abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the representation shall be ' reduced in such States in proportion to such abridgment. "Congress, In this matter," Mr. Crumpacker says, "must take cognizance of current history and of facts disclosed by official records. There Is not a member of either house of Congress who loed not know to a moral certainty that by direct operation of law the States of Louisiana, -Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina have disfranchised a suflicient number of citizens to deprive each of them of several representatives they would otherwi; be entitled to, to say nothing of the largely Increased suppression of votes caused by unfair partisan administration of the laws. The question is, will Congress make an apportionment of representatives according to the plain requirements of the Constitution, or will it Ignore those requirements and act according to its arbitrary will?" Mr. Crumpacker then takes up the Constitution of Louisiana and adduces figures to show that in that State 4:5.74 per cent, of the citizens are disfranchised. The representation should therefore, he argued, be reduced from seven to four. In North Carolina, for the same reasons, he figures, the representation should be reduced from nine to six. In Mississippi from seven to four and in South Carolina from six to four. The subterfuge resorted to in the South to evade the law, he says, marks the beginning of political demoralization' and social decay. He then proceeds to a severe arraignment of the South, In many localities of which "the trampling under foot of laws calculated to secure the exercise of political privileges to the negro has continued for so long that It Is showing its vicious fruits in the prevalence of mob law." Mr. Crumpacker denounced the frequent resort to lyncl. taw and Its unspeakable horrors These atrocities," he says, "bespeak a deplorable condition of political rnoials. Their frequent occurrence is the ltgitlmate result of a generation of disregard of election laws." The solution of the problem this condition presents, Mr. Crumpacker said, is one of the burning questions of the hour. It is above partisanship, it involves the very life of the government. He said in conclusion: "The measure I propose irries no resentment toward any State. North or South. It is not designed for punishment, but it simply aims to placj representation in the House upon its constitutional baste, and no State can Justly complain if it be accorded its full rights. No compromise can be made with wrong." HOWGATE TO BE RELEASED.

City and Chihuahua, states that the panic Is becoming perious and that the government is about to let out the silver reserve, amounting to nearly $40,000,000, to relieve the situation. At the trial at Corsicana, Tex., of Andrew Norris. a negTo charged with tha murder of the wife of J. L.. French, a white f aimer, a mob led by the dead woman's husband attempted to take the prisoner from the courtroom and lynch him. The sheriff's forces saved the prisoner. Governor Sayers was appealed to and a company of state mllltla is now guarding the prisoner, courthouse and the jail. The nonpartisan committee for the public welfare of St. Louis, an organization embracing representatives of all civic and commercial bodies of the city, was created and held its first meeting yesterday at the Mercantile Club. The primary object of the committee is the putting of the city in proper condition for the holding of the world's fair, and plans as to the best method of reaching the end desired were outlined at last night's meeting. The Supreme Court of Illinois yesterday affirmed the judgment against the Globe Mutual Life Insurance Association, of Chicago, for J250 in favor of Dora Wagner on a policy of insurance Issued in her favor on the life of her son, Richard Wagner. Payment was contested on the ground that the applicant made false statements in his application for a policy. The court holds that thi3 does not annul the policy unless It is shown that the answers were made for the purpose of 'committing fraud. Almost $17,000 has been contributed for the Admiral Philip memorial fund, named in memory of the famous commander of the Texas, and later commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard. It is hoped the fund may amount to at least $50,000. The income of the fund Is to go to Mrs. Philip as long as she lives, and after her death it will be devoted to the maintenance of the naral branch of the Y. M. C. A. In Brooklyn, a work in which Admiral Philip was deeply interested. The Supreme Court of Illinois has ren
dered an opinion declaring the act of 1803
passed to protect employes and guarantee their right to belong to labor organizations unconstitutional. The court holds that the act deprives employers of the right to terminate contracts with employes, and further holds that the Legislature is forbidden to deprive cither employer or employe of the exercise of that right, and that it has no authority to pronounce the performance of an innocent act criminal when public health, safety, comfort or welfare is not Interfered with.
Dr. IV. N. AVIflhnrd Appointed.
Dr. Henry Jameson, who has been for
several years a member of the State Board of Health, owing to a press of private business, yesterday tendered his resignation to Governor Mount, and the board provided for in the statutes, composed of the Governor, the auditor of state and the secretary of state, immediately appointed Dr. XV. N. Wishard, of this city, to fill the vacancy. Real Victim. Chicago Tribune. There's no doubt," said the suburban
ite householder, "that we have been needing butterlne legislation a long time. It was only the other day my grocer sold me some old and rar.cid country butter for good butterlne. I made him take it
back, too, quick! Chicago Prize Fischt. Detroit Free Press.
Mayor Harrison announces that he will
license no more prize r.ghts in Chicago. We
respectfully challenge his honor to how that he ever licensed anything which even looked like a prize ttght. He has pimply
