(Kroiu our rcuular corrgHndiit,)
Washington, Dec. 14, 1S91,
Speaker Crisp may have made oine
promises before his election as speaker-
few men ever occupied the position who
had not done so In their canvass for votes
but he has made few, If any, promises since
Wi election. He lets the other fellows do
the talking while he does double duty as a
thinker; he knows that it will be Impossi
ble to so arrange the committee assign
ments that all the democratic members of
the House will be pleased, and If those
who enjoy his confideuce may be lelled
upon, he will devote himself principally
to the task of making an equitable distri
bution of tile chairmanships and places up
on the Important committees between the
various sections of the country ; believing
that no representative will allow his per
sonal disappointment to make him angry
when he sees that his section is fully rep
resented. It is now almost certain that
the lists of committees will not be an
nounced until after the Christmas recess,
and it Is expected that Speaker Crisp will,
after all the members have been given a
chance to be heard, retire to his home in
Georgia, or to some other place, whore he
can devote his time during the recess to
making up the committees.
All sorts of gossip about the chairman
ships and the make-up of the Important
committees may be heard, but about the
only thing that everybody seems to be
agreed upon is that the Ways and Means
committee, which deals with tariff matters,
will be dominated by northern and western
members, whoever Its chairman may be.
The general opinion is that Mr Mills can
have the chairmanship of this committee
If he wishes it, but some of his close friends
say that he will not take the place, several
reasons being given why he will not; one
of them being that If there Is an extra
session of the Texas legislature la the
Spring he will be a candidate for the un
expired term in the senate of ex-senator
Reagan now temporarily being filled by
Senator Chilton and that if he Is elected
he will resign his seat in the House. Bui
there are those who think that that is just
the reason why he should take the chair
manship. They argue that for Crisp to
tender this important place to Mr Mill
and for him to accept it would show that
no bad blood was left by the hot fight for
the nomination, and that the committee
could from the first take up the hard work
of the chairman and that In the event of
the election of Mr Mills to the senate this
gentleman might be made chairman
Resolutions providing for an investiga
tion of the Pension Oflice will shortly be
offered in the House by Representatives
Cooper, of Indiana, and Enloe, of Tennes
see. The latter gentleman says that his
resolution will be for an investigation of
the method; used and is intended to save
some of the tax payers money that now
g;ocs through leaks which he thinks are In
the machine. Mr Cooper is particularly
interested in going for Gen. Raum, he be
ing of the opinion that tue investigation
by the last congress was not as impartia
as it might have been. Both resolution
will not be adopted, but the probabilities
favor the adoption of a resolution tiiat wil
be acceptable to both gentlemen.
Gen. Forney, of Alabama, who was the
senioi democratic member of the House
Committee on Appropriations in the last
congress, has, on account of tils age and
somewhat failing health, declined the
chairmanship of that committee, which
was tendered him by Speaker Crisp. It
;s believed here that Representative Hoi
man, of Indiana, will, in the interest of
general retrenchment in appropriations,
be put at the head of that committee.
Speaker Crisp pleased those members
who wished to i"'t the cash for their
mileage b-jfure Christinas by announcing
nt the short wssin of the House held on
Saturday, pievlousto the adjournment un
til Wednesday, the membership of com -mittce
on aco-mnts and that on mileage, as
follows: Accounts Rusk (Md), Cooper
(Ind.,) Dickcrson, ;Ky.,) Moses, (S. C.,)
Seerley, (Iowa,) Pearson, (Ohio,) Quack
enbush, (N. Y.,) Grlswold, (Pa.,) and Cut
ting (Cal). Mileage Castle, (Minn.,)
Crawford, (X. C) Kendall, (Ky.,) Cald
well, (Ohio,) and IMck (Iowa.)
Representative Culbertson, of Texas,
one of the best fitted men in public life for
the position, has decided to accept the
democratic vacancy on the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which Mr Har
rison tendered to him some time ago. His
nomination will go to the senate at once,
and he will forward his resignation of his
if.lt In the House to the goyernor of
Texas.
It was rumored that some of the repub
lican senators proposed taking steps to
have tnesenate declare Senator Hill's seat
vacant, because of his not having appeared
to be sworn In and of his retaining the
office of governor of New York, but the
most diligent inquiry failed to confirm
the story.
WE AKr'lKU.
Soini-Jdays ago the Dcmockat, in speaking
of the report that t ho reason for Ciiap's
election to the pcakeiship was to be found
in the fact that ho and his lieuteuauts were
in fayor of changing the attitude of the dem
ocrats with reference to the tarilf question,
said that no graver mistako could be made
and closed up the article by saving:
"Hut the Dkmocrat would expect and
hope for the defeat of the party If it should
now desert its tariff views."
For this an esteemed democrat whosuvs
ho has been a close readir of this paper f u
twenty years calls us to task and aska if the
ditorof the Devockav is now going to turn
his back on! the work of a life time duvoti d
to building up the democratic party. No.
erily. The Dkmocrat does net propose t.-
turn its back on the great and disintereattd
work done by the domooratin party. It in
that very thing which wo protest the party
shall not do. For years democrats with un-
saltish, patriotic devotion have labored
and out of season'to educatothe people iu to
a compreneusion of the very wiekeduc-, n
the republican protectlm scheme by wh
the millions are taxed for tho'beoelic of tho
hundreds. And now when we have reached
the point when the promised land isdiscerni
bie.to haye it even suggestadthat thereshould
be any waveriog on that question is to show
craven cowardice. The interests of the poo
pie are far more important than the success
of the democratic or any othor party. Party
is only a means to an end, and when it base
ly deserts a policy which it has labored long
to promote simply because it thinks that
course would lead to success, then it would
richly deserve defeat, and we repeat, if tin
democrats should shift: their attitude 01 the
tariff question we A rejoice in their do
feat.
Of the 5000,f 00,000 persons who wtr.j
carried last year on steam vessels but 63
were killed. This shows that this means of
travel is the safest in tbe world.
