One of the most interesting matters to be determined by congress after the holidays is the congressional reap portionment. It is altogether too early as yet to predict the passage of either the majority or the minority bill de vising the congressional representation of the state. It is, however, morally certain that the total representation will be fixed either at 357, the present total, or at 386, as recommended by the minority of the census committee. The committee itself is divided as closely as possible on the question, seven fa voting the present membership and six favoring the minority proposition, lhe mlnnritv nronosition diminishes the representation of no state, but in order to accomplish this it was found neces sary to bring the total number up to S8G. This is accomplished by adding 29 members to the house. An Increase Probable The success of the minority proposi tion appears more probable than that of the majority in the light of nistory Only once has congress failed to in crease the total number of members of the house after each succeeding census. Fifty years ago congress ac tually diminished the total number of members of congress, but on every other occasion it has been inei-eased as a result of the reapportionment after the decennial enumeration of the inhabitants of the country. Uuuei either liill tlio -"Rmnirfi State contiauti to increase its load in n:u;Cii;.i ence. If the minority bill ivjou.

The Empire btate of the KrmtVi p.lsr takes creat binder uiidci either bill. If the minority uni passes Texas will have three additional con gressmen, bringing her delegation up to 10, her electoral vote to 18 and her vote in national conventions to 3b. l?or . 1 . the first time she becomes a ciose rival of Missouri for leadership of the southern states in numerical strength in congress, electoral college and con ventions. Under the minority bill Mis souri gains but one congressman and leads Texas by that one. Colorado's Carious Position. A curious study in mathematics is offered by the singular situation re garding Colorado. By the tabulated statements prepared by the census bu reau, showing what the distribution of congressmen would be by states under every ratio from 850 to 400, there is but one cf all the ratios under which Colorado would not gain a mem ber. Yet that one ratio is the 357 which has been proposed byvthe ma- I jority bill. It of course is only a singu lar combination aud not at ail a matter of design. But it can easily be under stood that the Colorado members are hostile to the majority rcpoit. One of them says, "It is a mere juggling of figures in order to make a rank dis crimination against our state." Gains and LosoeSt Briefly stated, the ms.jority bill gives one less member for Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia, while it srives a rain 01 uue iqjicui,auYt each to Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York and West Vir ginia and a gain of two to Texas. It will be seen in this connection that Texas will stand in exactly the same relation to Missouri under both bills The minority bill provides no losses for anv state and the following gains: -S.T . T7 1- Texas, three; Minnesota, iew aui, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two; Arkansas, California, Colorado, con necticut. Florida, Louisiana, Massa chusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, JNnrtn Carolina, North Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin, one rep resentative each.

The states west of the Mis sissippi river, including Missouri ana Louisiana, the larger portions of which are west of the Mississippi, would have a net gain of four congressmen and the same number of votes in the elec toral college. Under the minority bill the states east of the Mississippi would gain 15, and those west of the Missis- siDti would gain 14. In view or. tne much greater total population: of the states east of the Mississippi this would hii n distinct frain to the west. It is in teresting also to note that the 29 elec toral votes gained under the appor- tionment, according to. the minority, would have been cast as follows in re- ppnt nresidential elections: 1892, Cleve land, 21; Harrison, 7; Weaver, 1; 1896, McKinleylS; Bryan, 11; 1900, MclSJn ley 19; Bryan, 10.
