The Commit

Mr.. Kerr, after a long delay yester-
day, announced the House committees.
In making his selections he has evil
IDENTIFY come very far from pleasing ev-
'erybody, and does not, in fact, seem to
have made much of an effort in that di-
Tection. He ignored many established
precedents, and made the committees
just as seemed to him best. Whether he
has been wise or not in the discharge Of
this important duty, remains to be seen.
In the Craftsmanship Of the most i'm
portant Committee he disappointed all
the prophecies of his enemies and the
hopes Of many of his friends by selecting
q Western man. Mr.. Morrison, Of Illi-
nois, is mentioned as an industrious,
clear-headed, but not brilliant man, who
has served one term In the House, and
made the most OF his experience. He is
probably known to Mr.. Kerr as man
whe will develop qualities fitting him for
the very important post he has been Sc
lected to fill.
The Committee ON Pacific Railroads
was not constructed to carry out Mr..
'Kerr's personal views in regard to the
Southern Pacific subsidy. He is known
to be inimical to the scheme, but has not
chosen to use his position as Speaker
against it. Mr.. Holman, as head of the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, will be in position to check
unnecessary expenditures through a
channel that has been one Of the worst
leaks to the Treasury. There will not be
much question as to the wisdom of this
selection. Our own State, Ohio, has FIVE
ehairmanships, among them being Mr.
Banning, Of the Committee on Military
Affairs, and Mr.. Sayler on Public Lands.
The friends of the latter gentleman be-
Iieyed him entitled to the Chairmanship
of the Judiciary Committee, and are, OF
course, disappointed, but Ohio has no
reason to complain.
II Mr.. Kerr was elected Speaker, as
his enemies in the Democratic party
claim, by the Eastern money power, he
ud5 uISdppOiHIeu uiS DdCAcIS py giving
the West and South heavy prepon-
derance in the committees. The i'm
portanoe OF selecting Speaker who
would do this was not appreciated by
the party journals Of this section that
were willing and anxious to sacrifice
this advantage for the sake Of gratifying
personal spite.
In his selection Of Chairmen as well as
in the formation Of the bulk OF the COM
mittees the great interests of the West
have been carefully looked after. This
being true, we can the more readily ex-
'cuse what seems at this time to be most
apparent blunders in other matters.
There is healthy indication in the fair.
ness with which the opposition
has been treated. The ablesi
men of the Republican party
have been placed where their judgment,
experience and party influence will be
Of most advantage TO the country. In
this particular the committee selections
will be most cordially indorsed both by
the members of the controlling party
and the opposition.

WE CANNOT DO IT IN THAT Way
We are in receipt of a lengthy COM
munication from Gold Hill, intended
as an answer to the advertisement"
of the Messrs. Bennetts Brothers, in
relation to stage matters. The COM
munication is nothing more nor less
than an advertisement for an OPP
position stage, and if we publish it
at all, il must be paid for at our usual
advertising rates. Outside the bust
ness of advertising for both stage
lines, we have nothing whatever to
do with any controversy that has or
may spring up between them. Beg
netts Brothers have never asked us
to publish an advertising card free,

A Series Of Social Parties for the
Benefit Of the Church Fund.

As q matter of suitable social en-
joyment, the ladies and gentlemen
interested in church matters have
concluded to inaugurate q series Of
Dancing Parties for the winter. The
first of these social dances will occur
at Armory Hall on Thursday even
ing next. The main feature of
course will be dancing; but ice
cream, coffee and bon bons will be
on sale in the lunch room during the
evening, for the benefit of the fund.
Tickets of admission to the hall have
been placed at the very low price Of
ONE DOLLAR, admitting gentleman
and ladies. The affair is In compe
tent hands, good music will be in
attendance, and a good time may be
anticipated by all who think OF at
tending. We believe the movement
to be good one, and hope to see it
generally seconded by the citizens
of Silver. The amusement afforded
will amply repay the cost of ad-
mission, and at the same time ma
terially assist q good work. Let
everybody attend.

was probably the most gorgeous

the ancient, but much more to the
taste OF the people than the olden
ruins. "Curly" is the high priest

AN EvENTFUL DAy.-Last Satur-
day was an eventful day to Virginia
City, for the people Of that enter
prising city witnessed a sight so
unusual in ordinary events and 80
startling in appearance that they
paused in wonder and astonish-
ment, when they comprehended
how rapidly Cohn L Isaacs have re-
built in their old quarters, and saw
what an elegant assortment of fine
stylish goods the firm have on dis
play, and when further informed
how very cheap they propose to sell
they will declare that this energetic
firm will become bankrupt before
their stock is disposed of. But
these people SO appreciate pluck
that they will of course patronize
them, and thus avert such a calam-
ity, and they will as ever lead the
van in their particular business.
There is nothing in their magnifi-
cent stock which one may desire
and not obtain, from pair Of g.
to a $3.50 overcoat.

'copal Church in this city, as is gen.
orally known, has been built by
subscription. Liberal amounts were
subscribed for this purpose, not only
by the citizens of this city but by
those of Virginia and Gold Hill
Nearly or quite one-half of the build
ing fund was contributed by persons
and corporations outside of Lyon
county. Bishop Whitaker himself
contributed $500, and Rev. Mr.. Jen.
vey has for months given his time
and labor to the enterprise. The edi-
flee is now about completed, and the
contractor must be paid. So far
about one-half Of the amount con-
tributed has been collected; the other
half remains unpaid, and will be
asked for the present week. Owing
to serious losses by the Virginia fire,
a number who subscribed generously
cannot now meet their promised pay
ments, and are rightfully excused
from the list. Owing to the disaster
which befel the church edifice when
partially completed-being blown
down by the storm--the contractor
lost heavily, and when the church is
completed will not have made IS per
day for his own labor on the build
ing. The loss by the church being
blown down amounted to about $500.
Should all the subscriptions be paid
in, the building fund will then be in
sufficient to meet the payments by
about 5000. This fund is confidently
expected to be raised Ny donations
from sister churches In the Eastern
States, and those here who have sub
seribsd will not again be called upon.
lHbSc WHO ilpNf hu'HNi tDVh diH nv
yet paid, will see tno ufgent neces-
sity Of being prepared To pay the
amount set opposite their names "
promptly. when called upon. We
have stated all the facts thus plainly,
because it is due TO the public and
10 those who have the work in
charge. This matter should not be
fput in the light of charity or beg
:ging operation. The enterprise which
has built suitable and handsome
church in Silver City, is the work of
our own people and their friends in
Virginia and Gold Hill, backed and
led by Bishop Whitaker and Rev.
Mr.. Jenvey. The people have been
ffree and liberal. The Bishop and
his co-workers have been earnest and
energetic in the matter, and the sub
scriptions which remain unpaid are
debts of honor as well as ones of
equity, and should be paid promptly,
that those who are looked to by the
, contractor would be enabled to meet
their promises. We now have a fine
church edifce; it is credit to the
intelligence of the city and an orna-
ment to its architecture. The work
has been done quickly and well, and
we know that our people, one and
all, are well pleased at its contem-
plation. We have written plainly.
1t is the best way in treating Of such
matters; and we believe We have no
need to further urge the attention of
our people to the necessity of seeing
that the delinquent subscription is
forthcoming when called for.

A NEW LOCATION. = While ex-
aiming the Kossuth on Tuesday, we
we're shown the shaft of new mine,
just located and shortly to be incor-
corporated by Mr.. ]. P. Hutchinson,
the discoverer, and Dr.. Weber, of
Virginia. The mine has been chris
tened "The Weber," after the Doc
tor, and work on the sha { is rapidly
progressing. Welook upon the prop
erty as being some of the best in the
county, as it joins, on the north, the
southern boundary of the Kossuth--
the very best of that company's
ground-and is properly an extension
of that mine. Mr.. Hutchinson, now
of the Silver Hill. was for long time
employed in the Kossuth, and is bet
ter able to judge of the value of the
ground he has taken up than most
anyone else. One thing is certain,
that he believes the claim to be rich
one, and will never "let up" until
he gets machinery uponit. We wish
it may make million Of dollars for
him.
