Riinfall, .99. H. A. Huston, Director Indiana Weather Bureau. Per C. F. R. Wappenhans, Local Forecast Official, U. S. Weather Bureau Assistant. Washington Letter. From onr .tegular Con espondent. One member of the delegation of Congressional mourners which accompanied - the remains of the late Col. L. L Polk, president of the Farmer's Alliance, from this city toRilifgh, North Carolina, last week, was Representative Stackhouse, of South Carolina. Wednesday morning of this week a joint Congressional committee started from Washington for Ssuth Carolina, In charge ot the remains of the late Representative Stackhouse, he having died suddenly of heart disease early Tuesday morning. Col. Stackhouse has been a prominent member of the Farmer's Alliance from Its beginning, and he served several terms as president of the State organization before he was elected to Congress. He was the sixth member of the. Fifty-second Congress to die, and nearly every one of them died suddenly. Representative Johnson, of Ohio, has an idea that our present method of electing Congressmen does not give the minorities In the several districts of a State exactly the showing to which he thinks them entitled. So he has Introduced a bill providing for the election of Representatives in Congress by proportional representation. Under It aU candidates for the House would be voted for by all the voters in the State, and any body of electors may In convention assembled nominate any number of candidates not to exceed the total numbor of seats to which the State is entitled to in the House, and cause their names to be printed on ballots. Electors would be entitled on their ballots to one vote each for as many persons as the State is entitled to seats, and they may cumulate their votes on a less number of persons as they may choose. It is diflicut to see where the improvement would come in under this blU. The party caucus would make It certain that every State would send a solid delegation to the House, thus absolutely shutting out the minority representation which is possible under the present system of electing Representatives by districts. A Uttle flarry was created hereby a few offhanded remarks made by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, when asked what the Chicago convention would do with the silver question. He said: ''Bah! They will do jast the same as the republicans. Why, the gold-bugs would send a million dollars, or two millions if necesary, to buy up the whole convention." Senator Morgan did not try to get a vote on the free coinage bill this week, as he hod said he would, but he made a speech In its favor, in which he warned the Chicago convention in advance that if it suppressed a declaration favoring the free coinage at the bidding of any man that man would In tarn be suppressed by the people. This was a direct slap at Mr. Cleveland. Senator Peffer in presenting a petition from Kansas asking that Congress take action to stop the lynchlngs which are becoming so frequent, said that the practice was growing in all parts of the country. —north, south, east, and west, and he hoped the Judiciary committee, to which the petition was referred, wonld promptly report on the subject.
