The bills introduced into both branohos of congress , providing that representatives of the Fllty-flrst con gress shall bo elected from the district1 ? as they tire now arranged in the vari ous stales , and tnat there shall bono districting of congress districts until the reapportionment is made upon the reports of the census ot 1890 , is mani festly intended to thwart the avowed purpose of the democratic legis lature ot Ohio to rcdistrlct that state in a way to secure n majority of the delegation in the next congress Ohio has twenty one representatives , ot-whom sixteen aio republicans and flvo democrats The democratic proposition is to so arrange the districts n3 to give that party soventocn of the roprcsentativos tmd the republicans but four Tlio ground ot justification for this proposed action is the fact that the republicans Bovcral years ago rcdistriclod the state in tholr interest , though tills was retal iatory , the llrst Gerrymander in Ohio having boon made by the democrats ] t Is not to bo denied that a falror ar rangement of the congress districts in that state than now exists is to bo do- slrad , but it is also apparent that the radically partisan scheme of the demo crats would not improve the situation or bo in the interest of n just representa tion ot the people Admitting the par tisan character of the present arrange ment , which gives sixteen republican representatives for four hundred and sixteen thousand voters , and only five democratic representatives for three hundred und ninety-six thousand voters , it must bo obvious that if the demo cratic plan were carried out the injus tice it would work would bo much moro serious On the basis of the last presi dential vote in Ohio , the democratic representatives chosou under tha pro posed rodistrlctlng arrangement would represent an averngo of only a little over twenty-three thousand democratic votots , while thcavorago for the repub lican representatives would bo over ono hundred thousand republican voters Tlio most extreme partisan , with any sense ot fairness , will not at tempt to justify n , plan that contemplates so palpable and giavo a wrong as this Yet it is not to he doubted that if no check is put upon the democratic legislature of Ohio it will carry the pioposcd plan into of- fect fect.Whether Whether congress has the authority to provldo such a chock may bo u ques tion The constitution confers upon congress the power to alter at any time by law the regulations made by the state legislatures us to the times , places and manner ot holding elections for repre sentatives , but this evidently does not include the right to say how the congress districts in a state shall bo arranged That would seem to bo distinctly tv pre rogative of the legislature with which congress can not interfere , and the remedy for the wrongful and unjust em ployment of which can bo ttpp iol only by the people of the state Obviously if congress can interpose to prevent a state legislature from redisricting , it cangofnrthor and say how a legislature shall urrungo the congress dis tricts , the one being manifestly a logical corollary of the other Gerrymandering is an abuse that ought to bo done away with Both parties have been nbout equally guilty of practicing it , and neither has'de rived any real or permanent advantage from it But its removal must bo ef fected by the people , and it is not clear that congress can do anything to con tribute to that result The matter raises a now question regarding the powers ot congress , the discussion of which will be noted with very consid erable interest ' ' ULVr.Il A OTllif' JIXULAXD Loudon correspondents continue to assert that England is about to take the first htops in bimetallism by issuing one pound silver notes According to the latest information It is not proposed to issue these notes on bullion , but on minted coin , following the present policy of the United States treasury , rather than the plan proposed by Sec retary Window , fu this way It 13 said the government will ur.tko a profit of nearly thlrty-livo per cent It is understood that the chancellor of the oxohcijour will utilize this to call lu the present largu stock of underweight sovereigns with which the banks are now encum bered The design of this is to quiet the scruples of the conservative bank ers , who have Bhown a strong hostility to the t proposal of Mr Goshen for an issue it silver notes It is natural that so radical a project as this , contemplating a most important departure from the long-maintained financial policy of England , should have created n great deal of exi'itomcut among the hlmotallists , and stimulated thorn to an ef fort to bettor perfect their organiza tion for n vigorous campaign during the sesnlon of parliament The fact that nothing wiuf said in the queens spuoch regarding tins subject has no pirtiou- lnr significance , .It is well understood that the ministry ns 11 whole is not com mitted to the proposed plan , and it is not certain whether the chancellor ot the exchequer has any support for It among his ministerial collotiguos Under those ciroumstanens it would naturally receive no reference in the enunciation ot the programmo ot the ministers Besides , if put into olfect it will bo simply as an experiment But it is by no moans to ho assumed that because it does not llguro us a part of the govbrnmont's an nounced scheme ot legislation it will not rocolvo consideration Further dovolopmolits in this niattor will bo watuhed in this country with poculiur interest , not for the reason that un issue of twenty million dollars in silver notes by lingland would have any , very marked physical effect upon the silver market of thd world , but because - cause of the moral influence which such a dopariuro would have , For there is every reason to believe that ouco the people of Knglaud wore made fu miliar with the use ot silver notes that form of currency would bocoino a permanent part of the circulation , with n steadily Increasing domatul for it The ofToctof this would bo to gradually nnd surely overcome the popular pre judice in that country ngalnst sllvor , and to lead the nation by steady stops outot the monometallic rut to which it has so long persistently adhered , The blinotalllstsof England can bo depended on to take full advnutago of the encour aging sltuntion and to viorously press their advantage The party has gained materially in strength during the past yonr , both numerically nnd in the character of its now ndhoronts , and the silver question in Knglnnd is no longer a tabooed subject , but rccclvos serious and respectful attention from nil classes OXi : OF OMAHA'S XLEDS Ono reason why Denver nnd Kansas City have nttracted a larger number of investors from nbrond than Omaha is because these cities are built up solidly of brick , a city built of brick and stone creates the impression of stability that inspires confidence But building of brick and stone is still much chenper in Denver nnd Kansas City than it is in Omaha This is al most inoxptlcablo There is an nbuu- dance of tlio raw material for making brick cheaply in Omaha Labor is , if anything , cheaper hero than it is in Denver It is simply a question of enterprise , capital and push With all her brick yards , and brick making facilities ; there are not two millions of brick in stock in Omnha today Moro brick have boon sold by our dealers this winter - tor than during uny previous season , and at prices way above what tlioy should bo In fact , the brick makora are in their own light It is to their interest that every house built hence forth should bo of brick When the frnmo house becomes untenable and hrick structures are given the preference there will always bo a _ demand for their wares But before this change is broug "ht about wo must have 11 large and stendy supply of brick at much loner rates than now prevail Brick manufacturing has ilittdo great strides within the past few yours by the introduction of laborsaving machinery and improved processes Omaha is up with the times in every other respect and there is no reason why she Bhould bo lagging behind other ercat cities in the building material that has been found most desirable Morcver , the bulk ot all the money cxponded in brick making would remain and circulate at home whllo the frame house necessarily involves the purchase of materials that must bo imported from u great distance Tin : meeting of the Interstate Com merce Uailwuy association in Chicago on Tuesday npuoars to have been fruit less The committee churged with the duty of preparing a revised agreement . had not completed its labors , and it would appear from the report of what transptrod that there is little need or its continuing thorn The principal object ot a modified agreement is to make it harmoni/.o with the traflie arrangement between the Union Pacific and Northwestern , which Chairman Walker decided was in violation of the existing agree ment Only by such modifications can these two roads bo hold in the associa tion But if this concession is made to thorn several other roads will drop the association Thus the situation re mains ns perplexing and embarrassing its ever , and if Chairman Walker and his associates in framing a now agree ment can find a way out that will bo satisfactory to all they-will bo entitled to the very highest kind of credit The * obvious inference however , from the present state of affairs is that there is • no general desire among the railroad presidents to continue the "gentlemen's agreement , " and that the efforts of their omployos to patch up some now arrangement - mont is a waste or time The associa tion is now practically Inoperative and appears very likely to remain so Tiik Bui : observes with dcop emotion - tion that the distinguished paving 11 rm of Wo Us & , Co is creating a painful commotion in Denver Hero inOmalia , where it
