prominent representatives of their par
ties-who remembers to have ever seen
these men lauded in the papers by o
"Jenkins" for keeping fast trotting
horses, giving expensive dinners, and
paying bill every quarter, amounting
to little fortune, to Worth, the man
milliner of Paris, for the dresses of
their wives and daughters. It is not
essential to his usefulness to his country,
or to his achievement of distinction as
a statesman, that an American repre-
sentative shall figure prominently with
his family in Washington society"
THE NEXT KANSAS SENATOR.
I heard it stated authoritively in the
ante-room of the White House, this
morning, that many influential men,
bers of the Kansas legislature are work
ing to secure the nomination of ex-
Senator Pomeroy for the seat in the U.
s. Senate made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Caldwell. Pomeroy was re-
markable for his industry while in the
Senate, and was personally popular
alike with his fellow Senators and the
people. Although pronounced ad.
ministration Republican, he never failed
to ignore politics on questions involving
the interests of the producing classes.
THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE BOARD
is now in session, but it cannot accom-
plish anything beneficial if it would, as
the President and Heads of Depart
ments persistently claim and exercise
the privilege of setting aside the rules
of the board, whenever they choose to
do so.
PROPOSED ABOLITION OF THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS.
A persistent effort will be made, i'm
mediately after the opening of Congress,
to abolish the Committee on Appropri-
atoms, and distribute its work among
the other committees. It is contended,
and with great show of reason, that tits
not possible for one committee to decide
judiciously and economically upon the
amounts necessary to be expended by
the various departments of the govern
mcnt. Besides taking charge of the
regular yearly expenditures, the Com
mittee on Appropriations has also arro-
gated to itself, lately, the right to con-
sider and report upon the propriety of
all incidental expenditures recommend
ed by other committees. This has
caused good deal of feeling; and
prominent members of Congress main
tain that the committees of Naval Af-
fairs, Foreign Relations, Agriculture,
Education and Labor, &C., &C., are
more competent to recommend to the
House appropriations for the depart.
ments with which they hold constant
official relations, than the members of
the Appropriation Committee can poss-
IDLY he. The movement will be strongly
backed. A. F. B.
