Tn proof of this assertion a dispatch was published from Whitelaw Reid, of the New York Tribune, a strong friend of Mr. Blaine and the spokosman of the Blaine ele New York, ou which the| prosident was urged to hold tirmly to his ground on the Robertson appoint ment, and assured of the substantial support of the republicans of New York state. The editor of the Trib- une has published a vory spicy reply which very effectually disposes of the charge and contains a letter from Gen. Garfield which must prove of creat intereat to every friend of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Reid says The dispatch is,given with substan- tial correctness. and contains a great deal of irvzen truth Cf coursethis dis patch was never intended for the pub- lic, but the writer seos no occasion to modify or regrot it. Its aim was, 1n answer to repeated written requests from Gon. Garfield, to give him the exact facts of the political situation here, as the writer understood them. In answer to similar requeats he sent Gen. Garfield & number of other equally confidontial communications on this and kindred subjects, and if some ‘friend’ of the dead president has been ‘allowed to copy' any more of them the editor will be extremely glad if they should he found equally of the past ten months, Of course this clumsy attack on Gon.

The reapportionment of representa- tives in congress under the census of 1880 is a conatitutional obligation which will have to be performed at the present session, and is likely to come up at once for consideration, there being a pressing need to settle the’ question in time to enable the state legislatures to redistrict the states according to the new basis, and to prepare for the congressional elec- tions next fall, As it is & physical und mathematical impossibility to apportion representa tives as required by the constitution without leaving a sories of fractions, some of these considerable, or with- out granting temporary advantage to individual states, or to groups of states, or to some one section over another, the law on the subject will necessarily result from a compromise of conflicting views. Very naturally oach state will prefer that apportion- ment which will unot place it m the category of unrepre- sented fractions, In no event, however, can there be a solution of the problem which will be satisactory to overy part of the country. All that can be done is to mimmize the the ground for complaint by following the principles of fairness through all the complicated relations of the as- signment, and by making the general welfare the central object. One ele- ment which deserves to be taken into account, but which we have not seen noticed, is that the large fractional rewainders in states which have rown, and probably will grow rapidly in population, have the best right to reprosentation, because such fractions quickly expand t» the full extent o' the ratio fixed, and the increase con tinues to advance so fast that, long before the next census period, the the same ratio would yield a consider able addition of representatives. This point is so clear that it does not need to be elucidated, particularly when it is considered that population in some of the states is almost stationary or sluggishly progressive. Until 1842 the rule of apportion- ment was to divide the population of the several States by the number of inhabitants fixed upon as entitled toa Ropresontative, In 1842 this plan was changed so far as to allow an ad- ditional Representative to every frac- tion amounting to half or more than half of the ratio adopted. Since then the method has been to divide the whole population of the States togeth- or by the number of Representatives fixed upon, and the quotient thus ob- tained constituted the ratia by which the population of each State was divided, the resulting quotient indi- cating the number of representatives in that direction will be taken at the to which such State was entitled, and the largest fractions being allowed in This meeting, called by the president of the Tt is to be hoped in any event that the Douglas delegation in the logislature will be present at this can of paving and it is all important that amendments their successive order extra represen- tation until the arbitrary number of total members was filled. Mr. Sea- ton, of the Cousus Bureau, aftor a » | series of pains-taking calculations, has dincovered that this mode of disposing of fractions is umformly advantageous to the small at the expense of the large States. It is reported that he has found a new method of allowing for these remainders which will ob- viate the difficulty stated, but we can not determine ita merits until it shall be explained to the public. Tt is urged in some quarters that the present number of the house should not be enlarged, because large bodies of men tend rasher to retard than to expedite legislation. Tt is maintained, on the other hand, that precedent in this and other countries, as well as the widening interests of our people, favor enlargement, which would afford a broader and more useful basis for committee work, without which thor- oughness of inquiry would not be at- tainable. Tn support of this view the following examples have been ad- duced: Great Britam, with a population of 628,338, has a house of commons of 662 members. The chamber of deputies of France consists of members, on a population of T88. G srmany with a population of ) in the reichstag 397 Austria has 21,742,884 in d her lower house has The cortes of Spain In Ttaly the consists of 508 members, and that upon a population of 0,475, In Hungary, where the population is 15,60 the house of representatives consists of 444 members. Belginm has only 5, 112,20 sentatives consists of 124 members. At the last session of congress the census bureau furnished elaborate tables showing what the ratio, result- ing fractions, and membership per state would be on a basis of 290 to 32b representatives, under the preva- members, population, [ ey | 353 members | consist of 408 members, camera de deputati , 300, lent rule of apportionment. Four of these numbers - 301, 7, 311 and 319 — were regarded with special favor by different parts of the house. With 203 members, the present number, Tlinois would lose one in the new apportionment; witheither 307 or 311, her share would remain at 19; with 319, her share would be increased to 20, Fixing the number at 3, the north would get 184 representatives, 18 of them by fractions, with a vari- ous gain of 10, and a various loss of 13, or a net loss of 3. The would get 109 representatives, 7 of them by fractions, with a vari- ous gain of 7, and a vari- ous loss of 4, or a net gainof 3. If the total number be fixed at 301, the north would have 189, of which 12 wouldre- sult from fractions, the gains being 10 and the losses 8, or 2 net gain. The south would have 112, of which six would result from fractions, the eains being 8 and the losses 2, or 6 net gain. By fixing upon 307 as the aggregate number, the north would be entitled to 192, deriving 8 of these from frac- tions, gains being 10 and losses 5, or a netgain of 5. The south would be entitled to 115, deriving 8 of these from fractions, gains being 9, with no loes. Assuming the entire number as 311, the North would obtain 193, of which 6 would be due to fractions, gains 10 and losses 4, or 6 net gain. The south would obtain 118, of which 10 would be due to fractions, gains 12, without any loss. Fiually, fixing 319 as the whole number, the North would pet 200, fractions giving 10, with gains of 16, and losses of 3, or a net gain of 13. The South would get 119, fractions giviug G, with gains of 13, and no loss In the whole series up to 319 Repre- sentatives, the South would gain 1 to 9 over the North in the apportion- ment. The six numbers subsequent to 319 yield an advantage of 1 to3 over the South. It is only 319 which maintains the equilibrium, and, at the same time, preserves any proper numerical proportion between the sec- tional allotment on the basis of frac- tions. These considerations have caused such number to be received with the most general favor. Railroad Legislation. Nebraska Signsl. We have been watching some of our leading state papers with some intecest for an expression on the sub- ject of legislation for correcting the abuses and extortions of corporations, especially of ruilway companies. As arule they have been very reticent exce )t The State Journal. ~ This pa- per has occasionally launched a short paragraph, keenly sharpened with sarcasm, against the grangers, as it denominates the tillers ef the soil. Seeing the granger bocoming a source of jdanger to railway schemes in the rapid change of the political senti- ment of the country, it advises him in the alliance meetings, instead of dis- cussing politics, to imitate his brother n New Jersey, talk of fruit culture, grain crops, etc., as being much more profitable to him. Tho Omaha Republican, so far as we have noticed, has been silent on the great issue of the country up to December 30th, when it cautiously ventured a feeler, we presume for the purpose of keeping the U. P. railway company in good humor, and to bet- ter learn thesentiments of its readers, It began at that time the publication of a series iticles written in the railway interest. The writer of these articles disclaims against legislation, contending that it1s unjust, & ¢, and they are credited o Potter's Ameri- can monthly, and written by Clement Ambrose and a brother of Geo. W, Ambroee, of Omaha We have heretofore expres ed the opinion that every paper in Nebraska would be forced sooner or later to take & porition on this question, and it 18 sometimes amusing to see how cautiously some of them throw out feelers. Now, whether these feelers are for the pur pose of trying the temper of railway masters or the people, 18 a question that we are trying to determine. The Omaha Republican does not positive ly assert anything as to the articles of Awbrose but that it does publish them, when these articles positively disclaim against railroad legislation, and taken in connection with the fact that the Republican has never to our knowledge published « word in favor of such legislation, puts the Republi- can ruther on the side of railway in terest. 1t is but natural to presume that the news journals of this grain- producing and stock growing common- | leading papers of the state the small , but her chamber of repre. | weath would be in harmony with the interost of the producer, and defend them as against all opposition, from whatever source it might come, and any other course would be so contrary to reason and logic, that a cause for it would have to be sought for in other directions; and seeking for the cause of this unnatural course, we shall first examine the most common one. It is well known that The Omaha Herald, The Omaha Republican and The State | Journal get large benefits from rail- | way companies for railway printing. We do not know how much this worl |18 worth to any of those papers, but suppose it to be at least from §2,000 to 86,000 per month. On this hypo- thesis, and no other, can we account | for the position occupied on the anti- monopoly issue by these journals. We have herctofore shown that the railway companies of this state, in or- der to better enable them to bind stronger the people with iron bands, have secured representative attorneys from each of the two great political parties, and men, too, of the highest order of talent and ability, at immense salaries, These men, as a matter of course, will work in the interest of these great corporations, in advancing their interests and enforcing extor- tions from the producers of this state; | and in order to stitle the voice and | weaken the appeals of the people, | these corporations make it their aim to control the press, and find it much easier to do 80 by selecting the more prominent papers and feeding them with substan- tial ailment, thereby compelling a sub- mission _they could not otherwise effect. These corporations hold to the policy that if they can riuzzle the fry will keep quiet. This, like all other mistaken policies, worked well | for a while, but the people have suf- | fered so long from unjust railroad tolls, and their continuous increase, | that the policy is being defeated by | the country press in many instances | coming to the help of the producer, | and they will continue to speak out | until at the close of the approaching campaign, it will be found that nearly | the entire country press will be on the side of the people as against rail- | road impositions, The Lgndon Lancet The London Lancet says: “Many & life has been saved by the moral courage of the sufferer, and many a life has been saved by ta PRING BLOSSOM in case of bilious fever, incigestion or liver com- plaints.” Price 50 cents; trial bottles 10 cents, 91w “ROUGH ON RATS.
