The Next Home.
Much has been said about the
political complexion of the next
congress. The democrats confi
dently expect to capture a ma
jority of scats at the fall elec
tions, and the republicans fear
they will. Commenting on this
situation and taking the result of
the recent election in the sixth
Mlrtwurl district for a text, where
the democrats gained more than
u thousand votes over the general
election, the New York Sun says:
There are twenty districts in
which republicans hold their
scats in the present house by less
than 1,008 majority or plurality,
and there arc nine democrats sim
ilarly situated. There arc eleven
republicans who hold their seats
in the present house by majori
ties or pluralities greater than
1,000 but less than 2,000, and fif
teen democrats arc in the same
situation." It continues:
All told then, twenty-nine scats
arc held by members with less
than 1,000 majority and twenty
six more with less than 2,000 ma
jority. It would appear there
fore, from the statistics that
twenty republicans arc in danger
of defeat next fall by a change
of 500 votes, and nine democrats;
and that fifteen democrats and
eleven republicans are in danger
of losing their scats by a change
of 1,000 votes."
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, a re
publican paper with old line be
liefs, is even more down-hearted
and says:
It should be remembered in
this connection that the fact that
this is an "off year" and the year
of a new tariff bill will count
more or less against the party in
power, if there is anything in
past experiences. So the demo
cratic position is even better than
the figures indicate.
'However, the indications at
this time point rather to a crip
pling of the republican strength
iu the house than to the reduc
tion of the party to a minority
position. Still, a republican
smash-up is not impossible. We
should say, in fact, that an un
toward turn iu the business world
might easily give the lower house
Q the sixty-second congress to
Ijic domocrats. Cortaiuly a con
tinuation of the present fued be
'.tvfccin the regulars and the in
surgents would put the rcpubli
Jplnnjority in the house iu thu
gravest jeopardy."
The Albuquerque Journal tries
to draw some satisfactory con
clusions from the coming defeat
by forgetting the land-slide in
1890, and the result in the presi
dential election in 1892 in giving
utterance to the following:
"But the fear that this might
have an unfortunate effect upon
the presidential election of 1912,
is totally without foundation.
In fact, experience has demon
strated that democratic control
of the house during an off year
never fails to insure republican
success by increased majorities
for an indefinite time to come."

Port of New York Ahead.
New York, the second city of
the world iu population, has be
come the first city in the world
of commerce. She has outshipped
London in tonnage and London
has dropped to third place, Ant
werp, Belgium, taking second.
The local chamber of commerce
has compiled the figures, and the
results arc astonishing in many
respects. The percentage of in
crease in a number of world ports
is astonishing, and New York
must keep her place or be over
come by some of her competitors.
The following is a partial sum
ming up of the report.
"Ten years ago the British
city was still first with a total
vessel tonnage entered iu foreign
trade of 9,110,925, as compared to
New York's figure of 7,771,s42.
Within the last decade, however,
the increase of the English port
has been only 22 pur cent, while
that of Uncle Sam's chief ship
ping center has grown 50 per
cent. As a result New York's
foreign tonnage for thu last year
as shown in the report, has
reached the enormous total of 12,
154,780. Antwerp is creilited
with 11,211,803 tons and London
11,100,780 tons. Next in order
come Hamburg, Hong Kong,
Liverpool, Moutevcdlo, Mar -
scilles, Singapore. Cardiff and
Kobe. But while Kobe, thu Jap
anese port, ranks eleventh, it ucv-
crthcluss has shown the most re
markable growth of any of the
large ports iu the last seven years,
its annual tonnage having iu
creased from 740,351 to 5,497,877
toub, or nearly 043 per cent.
Next in point of rapid growth
comes the South American port
of Montevideo, with an increase
of 28S iter cent iu thu last decudt.

In the opinion of experts, how
ever, this rate of growth is ab
normal and there is little doubt
that New York will continue as
the world's greatest port and now
that it has achcived that distinc
tion, and judged by the rate of
increase of population it will soon
lie the world's largest city.
Such an European exodus of
ocean goers as this city has never
before known is duu to take place
this spring and summer, accord
ing to the figures of local steam
ship officials. Three years of
prosperity have so increased the
tiduof transatlantic travel that
ebbs from these snores cacti sea
son, to ilow back again iu the
autumn, that it is expected that
no less than 300,000 persons will
sail from this port during the
coming eight mouths for Eug
laud, the Continent and the Med
iterranean. Incidentally it is es
timated that they spend while
abroad about $350,000,000 of
good American money, or about
one-third of the national debt.
Ordinarily 200,000 outward bound
passengers during a season is
considered a high mark, but
many things have combined this
year to bring about a new record."
New Mexicans have been wait
ing patiently for a report on the
statehood bill. Two weeks have
passed since we were told the
matter would be taken up and
disposed of favorably. Still we
arc up in the air, and, a writer
from Washington puts it, "The
people of New Mexico are about
the only ones manifesting any
culhusiasm iu thu mutter.
