The Astorlan guarantee to Its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia rtver. Advertising rates can be had on ep- liratinn to the business manager. The Populists of Colorado are Ooing well to tumble into the Democratic ranks. If the free silverites wi?h to make any showing at all hereafter it ill be !weary for them all to rally under one flag. The publle la naturally disappointed that the state test book csaiir.lston ts r.aule up largely of men who are not educators and cannot be supposed to be familiar with the practical netds of the schools or the merit of the took In use or proposed. The English government gives to Americans ilS.M, and 13.M0 acres of land in Africa, for the purpose of foundir.? a school for the education of the English residents of that district This can be regarded In no other light than as a wry b'gh compliment to American .'nterprls- and educational methods. It now apt ears that Cudohy was not ruch a fool as he looked and had care fully marked the coins which he gave the kidnappers for the safe return of his ron. The unfortunate publication of this fact by the employes of a Texas bank, which in common with all other banks had been notified to look out for the marked gold, may have appeared In time to warn the criminals and prevent their passing any of the money. American embalmed beef has no ter rors for Russia. That government has decided that it is superior to any other kind of packed meat and has already placed orders with a Chicago firm for 150fl barrels, which are to be samples upon which future orders are to be based. Following upon the eloquent de fens? of this article of diet by ex-Secretary Alger, It Is now in order for the packers to present the "ilichigander" with a few barrels for home consump tion, as a token of their gratitude and kindly appreciation of his efforts In their behalf. The Oregon Statesman Illustrated Annual. Just received, is the finest thing of the kind we have seen thif season. It Is original In conception, brilliant in execution and complete In Information. It not only handsomely dicplays the various institutions and enterprises of Salem, but treats fully of the surround ing territory and also contains valua ble Information concerning more remote portions of the state. It Is printed on a fine quality of book paper, profusely Illustrated and contains St pages and cover. The Statesman Publishing Company deserves great credit for Its enterprise in getting out this valuable annual as . well as for the proposed enlargement of the Daily Statesman upon the opening of the ses sion of the state legislature, to enable Baldwin'?

THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE. New Yolk Tribune. The reapportionment question In con press appears t be chiefly a qetlon of the slse of the house of repreeenta tlvts. Shall that sie be fixed and the ratio of (presentation be ehangvd, or shall the ratio be fixed and the house enlarged proportionately with the growth of the nation? All the various pUni of apportionment which have Leu proj-cd take one or the other side of this question or strive to effect a oomproni'se. between them. One pro- pn to kp the house at Us present number. That would require the re duction of representation of some states ir. order that that of other might be Increased, and It would con siderably Increase the six of congress districts. Other propone to keep th districts at about their present vise and to increase the membership of the hou-e sufliciently to provide representation. at atont the present ratio, of th in creased population of the country. There is doubtless much to be said on either side of the case, and She ISrjJ decision will be on grounds of expe diency rather than those of precedent or abstract right The general tendency ha hitherto been to increase both the ratio of rep resentation and the sise of the fcous. In 1T3 the ratio waa and th number of representative tS. On reap portionment In 1TS1, under the first cen sus, th same ratio waa ad pted and the number of representatives was in creased to 105. Ten year later the ratio rose to 52. 0W and the number of repre sentatives to UL That was on the basis of the census of a cen tury ago. Thereafter the ratio rose constantly though not uni formly to Its 'present figure of 173.901. The number of representatives also In creased, until It as 240 In 1333; ten years later It waa reduced to 133. simul taneously with a great Increase of ratio; and thtn It rose again pretty uniformly t j 33C in 1SSJ. which hail since been In creased by the admission of Utah to If the present ratio be retained the number of representative under the new apportionment will be about 400. If tbv- house be kept at it present iixe the ratio will be rais-ed to a'o u 14.C00. The example of other nations having representative legislatures is on the whol in favor A small ratios and lirge houses. In Great Britain and Ireland there are C70 members, ai.d the ratio is only some 61.000. That is to say. the United Kingdam. with little more than half our population, ha nearly twice as numerous a house, and each of its nvembera represents a few more than a third as many as each of ours. France has 5S deputies, each represent ing a population of about 6C.0CO. Ger many comes much the nearest to our standard, with ::97 leputies, each rep resen:ing about 131.600 persons; but even Germany l.as a larger house and a smaller ratio than we. If from for eign countries we turn to our own states and their legislatures for ex amples, the same rule holds good though its application greatly varies. New York has a ratio of 48,000. Connecti cut has a representative for each 3,600 persons, Pennsylvania one for each 31. 000. New Jersey one for each 31.000. and so on. It Is to be observed, how ever, that in fhese states the numbers of legislative representatives are fixed by constitutional enactment, and are not varied with each reapportionment. Undoubtedly It is desirable for rep resentation in Btate legislatures to be bastrd on a much smaller ratio than in congTess. It would be absurd to send to Washingt-m such an army of rep resentative as the nation would have on the Connecticut basis, or even that of New York. It Is doubtful even If it is desirable to swell our congress- to the numerical size of those of Europe. The British parliament weds to be chosen on a smaller ratio, and thus to bn "nearer to the people," than our oonjrreM. because. It largely fulfills the functions of congress and state legisla tures in on.' The same may be said of the French and German houses. The experience of the two countries has been that larger houses ore apt to be un witldiy and Ineffective., if not riotous. Such consideration will doubtless be en tertained at Washington. It will be deemed best slightly to Increase the number of representatives; but the ra tio will probably be still more liu rea To enlarge th hou In proportion wit the grow th of the nation would b lm practicable.
