The House committees have been appointed and

cited so much i'll feeling within the ranks Of the

The construction Of the committees is very won
derful indeed, so much so that one is reminded OF
all the ancient jokes and parallels that tell of great
labor and small results. 1t must be confessed that
Mr.. Kerr did not have the very best material to
work up into committees, but it is impossible to
think that he has used what he had to the best ad
vantage. His selection of leader of the house
will strike every one who knows what is required
of leader, as most remarkable Boston .4desr-
fiset.
Among the important committees put under
Southern chairnen are those on Elections, the Ju
dietary, Pacific Railroad, Foreign Affairs, Pos
Offices, Claims, Naval Affairs, Foreign Affairs
Education and Labor, Patents, Indian Affairs, Ag
riculture, Public Expenditures, Railways and Ca

A Congressman vouches for the follow. ng as an
actual conversation between two new members o.
the majority, which he could rot help hearing the
other. day in the House restaurant. After some
comparison Of domestic arrangements for the scs-

your washing" "oh," said B., II have made an
excellent arrangement for that. have got
frst-rate negro woman, real good woman,
think, and have made bargain with her for the
season at a dollar dozen" "Well," responded
A., II am not quite certain whether my arrange
ment is as cheap as that or not. 1 have made a
bargain with woman to do all my washing for
the session for dollar and half a month; but
III watch it for the first month, and if find your
bargain is cheaper, III try and get your woman to
do mine too." Speaker Kerr ought to have been
informed Of this conversation in time for his Com
mttees. If those two men are not put on the
Ways and Means, gross injustice will be done to
the financial genius Of the House TrTjuae.
