When Congress takes up the question of reap! ortior ment of Rep resentatives under the new census, it will be brought face to face with the problem of increasing the num ber of Representatives or of the ratio of representation. Already the House has 357 members, and is a very un wieldy body. The basis of reprsen tition is, at present, one member for every 173,000 constituents. Should this ratio be maintained there will be added to the membership of the next House .about 56 members, mak ing the totai membership 413. Aside from the difficulty 7 of doing business in a body of such proportions, there would be the greatest difficlty in seating 56 members in the present chamber. There is roam for a hand ful more than now sit in the chamber but it will be impossible to add 50 seats with desks without taking up all the space and leaving no room for passage behind the railing. On the other hand, to increase the ratio of representation to 200,000, which would leave the membership about 360, or almost the present figures, might endanger the representation of some States in the House, and would certainly shift the lin es of some Con gressional districts so as in many cases to throw two members of t e present House in the same district. It ha« always been the custom !<> fix the ra.tio of rejire.seiif i to reduce the representation of any State. Plans for the Centennial of the founding of the city of Washington, which falls due next December, are rapidly being consummated. These plans, in provisional form, have al ready been submitted to the Rresi dent, who has signified his approval of them. They aie designed to car ry out the generai purpose of the celebration as adopted by the nation al committee on lecommendation of the citizens’ committee, with the approval of the President and Con gress. The celebration will have per manent as well as temporary features Cor.giess has authorized the comple tion of the plans for tiie enlargement of the Executive Mansion, and lias authorized the army 7 chief of engi neers, to prepare a plan for the treat meni of the Mall and its park con nections. President McKinley, who has shown suen a sympathetic inter est in the proposed celebration, has consented to give a reception on the day in December to be selected, when he will receive the Governors of t he States and Territories and other members of the 7 national eom miitee, together with Senators and Representatives, when it is hoped that a model of an enlarged Execu tive Mansion, as proposed in Colonel Bingham's plans, will be exhibited in the East Room, and brief appreciate addresses will be made. Congress has planned for suitable exercises on the aft. moon of that .lay in the Senate House, when prominent Senators and Representatives will deliver orations. The citizens’ committee is to arrange for a noon-day military and naval parade and for an evening reception in honor of ihe distinguish ed visitors. About this tune, General Apathy makes ids appearance in the quad renmal Fresidential Campaigns and causes a great ileal of dismay to the SUCCESSOR TO THE HERALD.

A month iatcr, he iisur 1 ly disappears so throughly that everyone forgets that he ever existed The ehances are that the campaign this fall will be as exciting as usual, even if it is not up to the phenomi nal standard set in the last election. Speaking without pai lisan bias, there can be no doubt that a most exten sive re-alignment of parties is going oir in the country. The daily paper.s are tilled with “flops” from each side to the other and if is hard to tell which party profits most by them. Imperialism is a brand new issue, having no relation to other issues which have been brands of party fealty, and the wisest poli.mans ad mit that the vote at the last election is no more a criterion of that whirl, will be cast this fall that is tint >. > r the election of 1800. It is eas, enough to assert that imperialismj amounts to everything or amounts to nothing, but until the votes are counted, wise men avoid making pre dictions. ' His Life Was Saved Mr. J. E.
