COMPLEXION OF THE SENATE COMMITTEES

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE COMMITTEE on ELECTIONS
THE HARD MONEY ELEMENT INCREASED IN
THE FINANCE COMMIrTEE-sOUTHERN DEMO-
Gratis IN THE COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS.
GBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUNEl
WASHINGTON. March 9.-1he reorganization of the
Senate Committees took place to-day, substantially
as was foreshadowed in the dispatches of the last
two davs. The character Of the changes has been
the subject of general discussion. The Committee
Oh Privileges and Elections which Mr.. Morton has
made an emlrenty political Committee, is not much
altered. Nj Cameron of Wisconsin, who takes Mr..
Carpenters place will probably be as liberal on all
political questions as his predecessor, and Mr.. Nc
Milan cannot easily be more strongly partisan than
MI Anthony has been.
The hard money element on the Finance Gem
mittee is much stronger than IN the last Congress-
MI Scott. who was not very strong on the currency
question, il replaced by Mr. FrelinghuyseD who has
always voted for honest currency bills. Mr. Logan,
all lDilationi5t, takes the place of Mr Wright, also
an lnflationist, aud Messrs. Boutwell, aud Jones,
respectively weak and strong hard money men, be-
come members of the Committee to increase its
number TO nine Mr.. Herman takes Mr.. Fenton's
place, each being in favor of hard money.
The Committee on Commerce is eninently an
Eastern committee. Mr.. Conkling has always been
opposed to almost everything desired by those inter
ested in the steamboat and river interests Of the
West, aud the majority Of the Committee will prob
ably sustain its Chairman. II proposed to con-
soldate the COmmttee ON Commerce with that on
Transportation Routes and make Mr.. Window
Chairman, but it is understood that the Senator
from Minnesota was so much interested in the
questions which have been especially investigated
by his Transportation Committee that he
willing to sink them i'll the Committee on Com
!nerce.
Mr.. Howe takes Nj. Carpenters place on the Com
mIttee on the Judiciary, making very little change
in its political complexion. 1t has been remarked
that the three Democratic members of the Com
lnlttee on Claims are ex-CODfederate officers. 1t
should not be concluded from this fact that the
Democrats and especially those form the South,
Ill favor OF the jobs like the refund of the
cotton tax which have been talked of for the past
few years few Southern demagogues and specu-
legislation the amount of money collected under the
unconstitutional cotton tax law could be restored to
the planters who paid it, such measure would
be popular in the South; but as this is impossible,
considerable portion of the Southern people are
interested in this matter.
The Committee the District of Columbia is
weak far as the Republican members of it are
concerned. During the last session of Congress the
most important business relating to the District
taken out of the hands of the District Committees,
future, or until stronger committees are made.

The Life To Come.

What does q man take with him when
from the extreme verge of life he launches
in what lies beyond 2 1t looks as If he took
nothing. Death seems to pass n sponge over
all that has gone before. BE it the end, or
be it new beginning, it seems a total break
ing of from all that life has hitherto con-
sisted in. This is what makes it terrible.
But if we look at it truly, his past life is
just the one thing that a man takes with him
when he dies. He takes himself. Aud that
self is the product of all his past experience
aud actions As an oak bears in itself the
result Of every shower that through long
years has refreshed it, of every gale that
has toughened 1t or stripped its boughs, of
sunshine that has fed 1t and the drouth that
has parched it, so man, when he stands at
the end Of life, is what he has been made by
all his joys, and suferings, aud actions.
That is what he takes into another world
his own character.
The life to come, aud the life that now is,
are parts of Another. They are related
The man is not the same that the boy was,
but what the boy was entered into the man
as part oil him. The strength we gain by
our victories this year, and the weakness in
to which we come by defeat, will be part
of US next year. So, there is not an act, mol
word but casts its influence forward into
the tomorrow that lies beyond death.

Getting Rid of her Daughters Beau.

She lives down on Baker street and she
has daughter about eighteen years old.
The old lady retains all her simplicity aud
innocence, and she doesn't go two cents on
style. The other evening when splendid
catch called to escort her daughter to the
opera the mother wouldn't take the hint to
keep still. While helping her daughter to
get ready, she asked
"Mary, are you going to wear the shoes
with one heel of, or tho pair with holes in
'em ?"
Mary didn't seem to hear, and the mother
inquired:
"Are you going to wear that dollar gold
chain and that washed locket, or will you
wear the diamond father bought at the hard
ware store2"
Mary wink ed at her. and the young man
blushed but the old lady went on
"Are you going to borrow Mrs Browns
shawl, or will you wear mine 2"
Mary hustled around the room, and the
old lady said
"Be careful of that dress, Mary you
know it's the only one you've got, and you
can't have another until the mortgage on
this place is lifted"
Mary remarked to her escort that it prom

when the mother raised her voice once more
and asked:

borrow her bracelet and FAM Yes, l SEE
you did. Well, now, you look real stylish
and hope you'll have good time"
Mary sits by her window in the pale

also, something about the place or occupants

EUREKA v. ELKo AGAIN.

Ink late Supreme Court decision In
this thoroughly ventilated case ss<ms TO
afford the Rertiiie about the same amount
Of satisfaetion a. that experienced by the
Eureka .S<atiStl. We quote tho follow
ing extracts from an article which ap-
penred In thAt journal few days ago:
ct seems hard and unjust that
through the fault Of careless or Grimm
al Enrolling Clerk and the euTelesSness
Of Governor, bill should fail TO be-
como q Law, when tho eIprescS1 intent
OF the Legislature vas that il should"
a- II does seem hard that combination
Of political trickstcrs should not DO per-
mitted to appropriate TO their own use
an insignificant strip Of territory be-
longing to IN adjoining county unless
they pay for it. The absurdity Of mini
tanning the cumbersome machinery Of q
Supreme Court in this State approaches
the ludicrous, when We contemplate the
vast wisdom possessed by the ell
itor Of tho above journal which
enables him by ohs- mighty effort OF
his powerful brain 10 sweep away
, all tho cob-webs Of doubt, anil with one
spring Of uncommon magnitude land
squarely upon o proper decision regard
ing q subject upon which the combined
legal ability Of the Supreme Bench has
been engaged for weeks, and failed to
discover We are persuaded that moth
ing short of that intuitire rnodesty
which under-rntes personal accomplish
mems, could have induced the intellec-
d. tual Titan to pen the following:
"Of course, the decision of the hon
ornbls md leurned Supreme Court of
the State OF Nevada is paramount to the
opinions OF m editor"
- When used in a general sense, such
theory might perhaps DO accepted, but
when spilled, as in the present in
stance, to the editor Of the Rereiiie, We
enter our solemn protest against any
and oil such heresy, and must insist
that had the Court in question been ac-
tuated by q proper regard for the pro-
PrietieH, our learned contemporary
would have been consulted ere So i'm
portAnt decision had been rendered.
Then again, the little paragraph volun-
teered by the Court, md appended TO
the decision was ON unkind thrust, for
Il completely demolishes tho theory Of
our Reese River contemporary "that
the decision Is founded upon a mere
bubble. and that The bill met its death
through the earelessness or criminality
OF the Enrolling Clerk alone" The
paragraph referred to reads Ms follows ::
'The conclusion here arrived ut rem
dem II unnecessary to decide whether
the act in question is subjec. to tho fur
Their objection urged by respondents
counsel that the Is6jtet Of the Edtr Is not
eIpTt'Ied in the itIe. and upon that point
We express no opinion" #.
Tho only inference which can Iegiti-
naaeIy be drawn from this Language is
that, had the fact OF the absence Of the
snncting clause not been fatal, the other
count would not have been ignored.
Thus the trifing comfort that might
have been drawn by the friends Of the
bin, from tho reelection TINT their
schemes have been thwarted by the
GROSS blunder Of nm Enrolling Clerk
alone, is denied them.
