es-
slon to determine \\hethor it shall fol *
low the old or the new precedent.
Polltcs may determine the choice.
Before the time for the meeting of
of congress the result of the Novemorn
> er elections will have become known ,
f the democrats should come Into
control of the house for the sixty-third
congress they would naturally resist
any effort to have the chnnRO nmdo
iy the present republican congress ,
while the republicans would be as
inxlous to have the service performed
while they wore In control of legislaopp
llou in both houses.
Apportionment In Itself can bo
used for party advantage only through
the manipulation of population frnc-
tlons In the various states. If the
present day plan of fixing upon a
dotlnito number of members ns the
llrst , stop in the distribution Is followed -
lowed many states will bo found to
have a considerable number of cltl-
/.ens over the number necessary to '
give them the number of members ns-
signed them. The slxo of the hniiso
once determined , the representation i'
of each state Is arrived at by dividing
the aggregate population of the connass
try by the total membership of the
house and then dividing the population i
of any given state by the quotient
thus obtained. Almost inevitably >
'j
there ensues upon each of such dl- '
visions a remainder , largo or small. '
Aside from arbitrarily fixing the rop- '
rosentatlon on the voting rather than
the actual population , this remainder ,
or fraction , affords the only base of l
manipulation of the apportionment of
mombors.
If used to the extreme It might ho
an Important factor ns no fewer than
twenty-throe representatives now holu
their seats on fractions. That they
should do so is strictly in nccordnnrc
with the law which provides that , any
ellclency occuring on an even dl-
islon shall be supplied from the (
latos having the largest remainder. *
n the division. This rule was strict-
followed in the last apportionment
i all allotments except those made
o Maine and Nebraska. In both these :
talcs congress exorcised somewhat
rbltrary power by giving cacli a repSp
esontntivo on n fraction loss than
lie fractions of otlior stales which
eceived nothing because of their own
rngmonts. This action was taken to
revont the loss of representation by >
ny state.
If that policy should bo accepted In
lie approaching apportionment It
ould upset the plans of some of the
ouso leaders who are most anxious
o avoid any appreciable increase In 1
be sif.o of the house. The census
xperts already understand that when !
bo figures are made public some '
lie smaller eastern states will be
ound to have failed to keep pace in j
rowth with some of their larger' '
elghbors and with many of the west-
rn states. If , therefore , they arc to
.jc protected against loss of represen-
tatlon In the house it will probably bo )
necessary to hold the ratio down to
omothing like the present basis or j
o discriminate in favor of the smaller
tales.
A loss of membership would be by ) .
10 moans a new experience lo many | |
of the stales. In the llrsi apportion .
nent , made after the census of 1790 )
vhen the house numbered , all told ,
only 105 members , Virginia was given
19 , or almost one-fifth of the entire
nombersliip , and in 1800 that miniou
jer was increased to 23. Then there
vas a gradual falling away until 1870 ,
vhen there were only 9 members from
hat stale. Since then there has been
i gain of 1.
Barring the first apportionment ,
, 'onnecticut ' began with 7 members
ind now has 5. Maryland has been
educed from 8 to G , and New Hamp
shire from 4 lo 2. Vermont , which
n 1810 had 6 members now has 2 ,
vhile Maine with 8 in 1830 has been
educed to 4. Massachusetts has the
same number with which she started I
n 1790. In 1800 the number was InBi '
creased to 17 , but by the next apporBi >
tionment It had fallen to 13 , and the
> rlgliml figure of 14 was not regained
.mill 1900.
After Virginia and Massachusetts ,
Pennsylvania , with 13 members , had
the largest representation In the house
n 1790. New York and North Carobj
ina followed with 10 each. The ittine
ter state never rose above 13 , but
he former has gone as high as 10,1 If1
which figure was attained under the
apportionment of 1830 and Is the hog
st representation any state ever gas
had. After 1830 the New York rep
resentation fell to 31 In 18GO. Since
then It lias boon rising gradually un
til It Is now 37. Pennsylvania's pres
ent number of 32 Is the largest over
enjoyed by that state. From the first
census to the present Rhode Island , I
with her two capitals and double ) j
name , has been uniformly represent-
od by two congressmen. Delaware
had two members during the decade j
1810-1820 , but otherwise has had
but one in the house nt any time.
The first apportionment made i by >
the constitution Itself provided for
ono member to every 30,000 Inhabit-
ants with the result that at its first
session the house contained only 55
members. The census of 1790 result
in an increase to 105 with 33,000
the basis of representation. From
that time forth with one exception the
Increase both in representation and
ratio has been steady as follows : 1800 ,
141 members with a ratio of 33.000 ; \
1810 , 181 members and ratio of 35g
000 ; 1820 , 213 members and ratio 15of
40,000 ; 1830 , 240 members and ratio
47.700 ; 1840 , 223 members and ratio
tie of 70,1580 ; 1850 , 233 members and
ratio of 93,423 ; 1800 , 243 members
and ratio of 127.381 ; 1870 , 293 mem

The old lenders of the house nro

down and few of them will admit
the possibility of nn enlargement to
beyond < 400 or 110 nt the utmost.
| The question of the disfranchise-
men of the negro vote in the southern -
orn states will receive attention in
connection with thu question of ap
portionment. The house Is even now
on record In favor of an Inquiry Into
this subject. Under the rules of the
house , where debate Is limited , a measure
uro , similar to the Crumpacker bill
of the t last congress might bo passed
without affording the minority much
opportunity to oppose or obstruct.
But In the senate whore these Is no
cloture , the minority would bo strong
enough to prevent the passage of any
frncohn measure unless deterred by
the unwritten rule which permits each
house to dispose of its own affairs
In Its I own way.

A BETTER CHANCE THAN IN 1905.
I
Athletics Were "All In" Then Will be
Fresh This Year. I i
Philadelphia , Sept. 17. Until ho lias
the pannant of his own league clinch
ed It is not likely that Manager Mack
will do any talking about the big noise
with : the Chicago Nationals later on.
J )
It does not follow though that he Is
not doing a great deal of thinking re-
earding the series. The present prac
tically ' unbeatable lead will be of in
estimable value to him during the last
two weeks of the regular season.
It will be recalled that at the close
of the campaign of 1905 the Athletics
were ! all in worn out by the sustain
ed fight which they had to maintain
all season to capture the pennant.
This season Manager Mack will be
able to handle and place hi ? players
In such a manner as to Insure the
best results when the world's series
starts. He Is not worrying much
about his catching staff the one de
partment in which American League
partisans , seem to think that he Is
weak , at least by comparison , with
that : of the Cubs. Lapp probably has
shown more Improvement this season
than ] any other catcher In the league ,
and ! if there is anything particularly
wrong about Paddy Livingstone's
throwing arm It Is not apparent to the
naked eye. Ira Thomas' retirement Is
only temporary. Ira may not bo the
showiest catcher In the game , but
there are none more reliable or moro
likely to make a hit when it Is need
ed. Hut Isn't It remarkable the way
that the Cub admirers continue to
harp on the alleged weakness of the
Athletics' catching staff , as though
the series Is to be determined by the
work of the man behind the bat all
alone ?
