The form of District government by com
mission consisting of three members, two
of whom shall have been residents of the
District at least five years and shall not claim
residence elsewhere proposed by the Con-
gressional commission, seems TO meet with
favor from our citizens II is a question,
however. whether Congress. with so much
exciting work on hand at the coming session,
will have time to consider any plan of Dis
trict government. As the one proposed by
the commission is exec dinghy brief and sim
pie i'm its terms il may get through; that is,
if the advOcatSAof suffrage in the District do
not insist upoifhaving tlIat feature adopted
in some shape. Should they make point of
this, the TWO houses will probably b. unable
To agree upon any plan ar the coming ses-
sion.

So much of tn time of Congress VIII be
absorbed at its next ssioI i'm discussing the
Presidential question in its various phases
that special session of the new Congress
looks very probable. Abiding tn the condi-
tiOn of the appropriation bills, the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Ifib'oie
says that too many of the members of the
House Appropriations Committee are en-
gagged in President-making, and that two
years ago. when Mr.. Garfield was its chair
man. the committee had all the regular bills
but one ready al the opening of the session;
while il viii have none in shape when Con
gress meets a week from Monday next. The
same authority intimates that it will proba-
bly, be the policy Of the republicans to throw
bills over into the new House, in which the
democrats will have but comparatively
small majority.
