THE t PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, 'J JLO" 4, , 189CX
iflE M'COMAS IDEA.
pis Anti-Gerrjmandering Bill Final
ly Ueported to Congress.
A WARM AKGUMEKT IN ITS FAVOR.
The Democratic Minority Bitterlj Attacks
the Measure.
OXE REPUBLICAN EMERS A PEOTEST
- washixgtok. May 3. Jtepresentative
McCoruas, of Maryland, to-day reported to
tbe House from tbe Committee on Election
tpf President and Vfce President and Eepre-
, sentatires in Congress, his bill to prevent
gerrymandering The report is long, and
Includes an elaborate review and discussion
of the constitutional questions involved. It
Bays:
"The country grows more anxious to se
cure fair elections. Congress is justly urged
to pass national election laws to guarantee
3ft a fair voting, counting and return ot the
j election ot Congressmen In States hostile
L, to the exercise of the suffrage by colored
.' citizens, enforcement of such laws is dim-
cnlt indeed. The subject of a national
J? election law is involved in the negro. This
j, anti-gerrymandering bill may be ef-
fective in the white States where pow
, erful minorities of white voters are to-day
S suppressed by shameful gerrymandering.
E JUST OSE 1NSTAKCE.
K "At the last election for Congressman in
fl; Indiana, lor instance, the majority vote for
p. Congressmen elected three Representatives,
, , but the minority vote lor Congressmen
gf elected ten Representatives. Such gerry-
nandcring is a crime against the general
gf Government and tbe people of the whole
K nation. This bill will at least compel rep
W resentation of the suppressed white minority
f in the white States. It will check reckless
t gerrymandering in the States ot the black
t ' belt and make it easier for Representatives
jl- elected therein to obtain certification of
election. It will respect equally States
rights and the rights of the United States.
"It permits States to continue to make
regulations for the election of Congressmen,
'.' but warns the States that a national Consti-
tution has been adopted establishing a real
e- and cot a shadowy government, a sover-
eignty of the people reposed in an Execu-
? tive and Congress, and that the Congress
fc will exercise its power to make or alter the
J State regulations of time, place and manner
of holding elections for Representatives in
Congress, to secure districts more compact
as to territory, moreVstable in duration, and
i to secure greater equality of population
behind the Representatives in Congress.
These things the States have failed to do."
THE MH.OBITT KETOET.
Hr. Tucker, of Virginia, submitted the
report of tbe minority. After a bitter criti
cism ot the bill, it says: "In this day the
spirit of reform is restive. It cannot wait.
It wonld break down precedents because
they are old, and sanction suggestions of
radicalism becanse they are new. It wonld
take from States the privilege ol arranging
their own Congressional districts as each
night think best for its own people, and
assigns that right to Congress, against rea
son, precedent and the Constitution itself.
It wonld uproot the laws of sovereign States
without cause, and supplant them with the
unconstitutional enactments of a partisan
Congress.
"It would break down the representative
principle in our government by placing
power in the hands of the representative for
the proper exercise of which he is not re
sponsible to the people whom it affects. It
would strengthen and enlarge the powers of
a partisan officer of the House of Represen
tatives, aDd in one breath it would have
Congress command the sovereign States of
the Union to do its bidding and in the next
breath prohibit their action. This spirit
ot reform must be arrested or consolidation,
despotic and hopeless, will be our destiny.
GEEAT PLOW OF 1A3TGTTAGE.
"It must be checked, or upon the mourn
ful ruins of State preponderance will arise a
mammoth empire stretching its broad arms
from the Atlantic to the Pacific shores an
empire whose sway will dwarf imperial
Rome, boundless in its domain and limitless
in its authority; with no guide but its will.no
restraint but its own discretion; with no
constitution but its fiat, no law but its own
power; an empire dected with all the
gorgeous splendors of a centralized domain
and proudly wielding the scepter of its ab
solute sway over the broteen and crouching
victims of its ruthless usurpations."
Mr. Frank, of Missouri, signed neither
the majority nor the minority report. He
hasJramcd a dissenting report in which he
says that the most cogent reason for his
refusal to give assent to the views of the
majority is that the measure will be very
unpopular and distasteful to the minds of
tne people wno are noi lawyers, and who
are unable to draw a distinction between an
ex post facto and a retroactive law.
Under the Constitution of the United
States no ex post facto law can be
passed. Under the Constitution of all tbe
States no ex post facto law can be passed,
and under some of tbem no retroactive law
can be passed. A retroactive law is al
ways regarded with great disfavor, and the
people will not I us tain Congressional action
in the way the bill proposes.
