He givesas an instunce thefactthat the demoeraty of Pennsylvania and the re- Jublicans of Missisippi have no repre- sentalion at all. Mr Powderly will hardly beablo to get o patent on this aviginal iden. s proposition was dis- cussed and disposed of more than a hundred years ago by the frawmers of the federal constitution. SE(REIARY WINDOM docs not antici- patea defieit during the current fiscal yeur if congress does not swell the ap: propriations beyond the amount now contemplated, but on the contrary he figures that there may be something re- maining il the treasury at the close of the year, The trouble withthe secre tary’s ostimate, however, is that he places the probable pension demand too low. A good result of the discussion of this matier has been to put a check upon the extrivagant tenlency of congress, and thero is reason to believe that thero willbe no further indulgence of the dis- position to run into reckless exponditure, It isstated that Speaker Reed has an- nounced that there shall be no more ap- propriations for public buildings, aud doubtless everything elsa for which there isno urgent demand will be ul- lowed to wal LTOPERGL O et - SRATIVE | sage of Mayor Cushing to the 1 g attention to the nee- | | | R ATY The mi NECESSITY. city couneil, esdly of tedistriciing and largely in- crosing the polling places of the city, @ wreful consideration and wtion, Itis awell known fact that underpresent conditions it isuttaly impossible to poll the full vote of the city. | Even if {t were possible to bring all vot- | ersto the pollsand ballots were offered should ree favorable stondily from the opening to the close, | itwould b a physical impossibility, | with competent and acive judges and | clerks, to secommodate all voters in a | mijority of the wards. | At the city election last December less | than thirteen thousand votes were cast oul of o total registration of seventeen thousand four hundred and forty-fiye.

The house of representives will vote today on ihe original pa bill which has been under discussion for sev- eral days. Of the several meusures that have been proposed it is uncertain which if any will pass. For the Wilson bill, which passed the senate, providing simply thatintoxicating liquors imported into a state tobesold or used there should be subject tothe lawsof the state, ago the judiciary committee of the house re- ported 4 substitute providing that all artiles of com- meree going into a statoshould be sub- jeot toits laws. A very strong report accompanied this bill, but it has not met with very extended approval for the reason that it is held to go much farther than the necessitios of the situation re- quire. Still it has reeeived vigorous ad- vowey in the house on the ground that if congressis going into legislation of this sort it should make it thorough. Another measure, while providing that Liquors shall bo subject to state laws, de- fines what shall constitute an original puckage. It suys that such pack- of intoxicating liquor, bot~ tles, shall be a S ing not than one doen bot- tles. and an original package of liquor not in bottles shall contain not less than favo allons, This applies only to liquor mide in this country, that imported from any foreign country to be still subject as toquantity to the laws relating to duties upog imports. This last measure hus & strong sup- port, particularly from the representa- tives of city districts, and its substitu- tion for the other measures is notim- probable. It is cortainly important, U there is any legislationon this subject, that it shall cléarly define what shall constitute an oviginal pac It has been held by soma able lawyers that an orlginal package, within the meaning of the opinion of the supreme courk of the United States in the Iowa melkage in which liquor is ordi- nmarily transported for commeorcial purposes from state to state, suchas barrel of gin, a lkog of beer, ora case of brandy or champagne, But every ju- dicial decision upon this quoestion, so far us we have observed, has held that a singlo bottle or flask, no matter how small, was to be rogarded us anorigiral paelage. In viewof the fact that in the Towa case the beer offered for sale was in one-eighth and one-quarter barwels and sealed cases therels cortainly good reason for assuming that the su- premo court did not intend that a bottle or flask should be considered an original package, but since there is di- vorsity of opinion as to thisand the su- preme court may not soon have ag, oppor- tunity to make a definition, it will be woll for congress to include oue in any logislation it may enact on this subject, Under such o law as is proposed the original package business would be very promptly suppressed. ———————— CONGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT. The census bureau cxpects to have the in age, cise, isa contain=l, congress may be enabled o frame. nn apportionmont bill by August 1, and doubtless a measare will bo ready for introduction by that time. Tt is very irged the pleted nt 1t this work should, if at proper possible, be co sesslon, an import action being, as st York Tridnee, whatever in- e in the new states may be entitled toon the basis of their population in 1890, they oughtto be enabled 0 enjoy earlier than Decen= ber 1, 1803, great injus- tice to refuse to adjust the representa- tion to the population until iuore than three years after the taking of the een- sus, if such delay can be avoided, 1fthe pportionment is not made atthissession it willnot take effect until members of the present n for prompt by the New e gosted that sentation twould be a congress are clected two years hence, who will not meet and organize until the winter of 1862 If ther ¢t and impavtial al lotment of members aecording topopula= tion the task of adjusting n new appo tionment will not be dificult. The im- pression is that there will beno material numberof members in ence having shown that is o str inerease of the the house, oxp the number is already o la to im- puir the efliciency of house for work or deliberation. Some opinions Insist that i would e no dissdvantage in largely increasing the membership, supporting this view by pointing to the much more numerous British of common Very likkely the representativesof states which will make no gain fromanine intheratio of representation will be found ad voeating this view and insisting that the ratioshuall not be much 1 than now But the large majority will doubtless favor an apportiomment which house 180 will provent amaterial increase in the membership of the hodse during the mext ten years, It is not only a question whether the efticiency of the house for work and deliberation would suffer from materially enlarging its membership, but there would be the necessity of finding other quarters forit, the hall of the house not having accom- modations for many additional members, It is probable that in making the new apportionment congress will provide for remedying the unjust arrangement of congressional districtsin several states ad alo for the prevention of vymanders, Legislation of this sort is demanded, It is expected that the new census will inerense the repre- sentation of all the surely republican states, with the single exception of Maine, and the western states will be the largest gainers under the new ap- portionment. A JUDICIAL determination of the boundary line betweon Omaha and South Omaha is a matter of importance to both, As long as the present dispute ts, public improvements between the two cities will be seriously retarded, and the conflict of authority will impede the enforcement of municipal laws, The legral officiads of both citiesshould there- foreagree on submitting the question involved to the supreme court and urge an early decision, Tue insinuation that certain South Omaha councilmen made away with con siderable corporation swag is the inven- tion of an enemy The high character of the city dads, coupled with their rec- ords as municipal legislators and con- tractors, lift them above the influences of worldly dross and render them imper- vious toboodle.
