4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: «--..-December 4, 1890. -- Balter. ‘ar = = $3 THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Dek Cirealation of any Newspaper ta the World, and as an Advertising Medium ts worth mere than all the other papers published in Washington. a tc ‘The tendency is to increase the representa- . ‘tion in the House of Representatives. While — Sarees TIFFANY LIDAY of the members, within narrow Hite loca public pride interferes and forces the constant tof the chamber. Appeal is made by the advocatés of a large House to the Eu- ropean hoases of commons and chambers of deputies. But this appeal, in the face of the conduct of these big, disorderly assemblies, ought to be regarded as inconclusive. The ee 88 S% fruth is that the safe limit has been pamed ihe $088. already. The House is now a turbulent body, ovo = except in the hands of » masterly presiding officer—e man among ten thousand. All that ean be done at present in to hold down the UNION SQUARE, NEW YoRE, number as much as possible in consistence with other grounds of action. There is a disposition, ‘Tae Stax thinks, to keep in view the relative progress of the different states of the Union. No state snbmits quietly to a reduction, how- ever desirable it might be to confine tation. The popular prejudice ix that loas of member or members implies relative loss. ‘That is only true in some cases. If the appor- tionment be made with scrupulous care for the rights of all, a loss of membership will only be, except in rare and unavoidable instances, a proportionate representation smaller because the total representation is smcller. But it may aswell be accepted finally that for a good many years yet to come the numbet of repre- sentatives will steadily increase with each de- cade, however undesirable this enlargement of the national legislature may be. + ‘The convention of the Farmers’ Allianco at Ocala unanimously adopted resointions yester- day condemning the election bill now before the Senate. The Farmers’ Alliance is a non- political body which takesa hand in polities. It isa large, representative body, influential in most of the states of the westand south and gaining a foothold in the eastern states. The alliance steadily opposes anything like sec- tionalism and bases its opposition to the meas- ure denounced on that ground. Whatever pro- fesaions are made by the advocates of the va- rious bills to regulate federal elections now or lately before Congress, the general public have regarded the central proposition in all these suggested measures as either intended to cor-| HamBuRcERs’.
