Sore Heads.

1t is said that there is a movement on
foot 10 Washington to deprive the speaker
of hi1 power to appoint the standing com
mittees Of the house, by electlng them by
ballot at the regular session in November
The success of any such scheme, says the
SIN, would necessarily depend upon a
coalition between the dissatisfied democrats
and the republicans, which, if tried, is not
likely to be attended with much hope.
The republicans generally, and especially
the leaders, with rare exceptions, have
openly expressed themselves satisfied
with the share of honors awarded
to them by Mr.. Rand all. Compared with
the proportion assigned to the democrats
under Speakers Colfax and Blaine, they
have good reason for contentment. 1t is
undoubtedly true that a number of demo-
Gratis are discontinued with their positions.
Some of them have carried their personal
Rriefs into the house without attracting
much sympathy from the public, which
cares little for the SORROWS Of individual
disappointments. Others, from exaRger-
ated notions of their own Importance, SUD
pose themselves to have been badly treated.
Others are FESTIVE under assignments
which deprive them of influence in pro.
noting special interests. And others are
grieved who think mere seniority confers
preemptive right to high responsibility.

A Ouestiou of Cheapneas.

It has been by many conceded that a
paper currency composed Of convertible
Rreenbacks is cheaper than one of national
bank notes, as greenbacks represent pub
lie debt bearing no interest, willie the
national bank notes are secured by bond.
ed debt that bears interest. Mr.. Hunter,
of Indiana, (Repl contends that the
"shoe is on the other foot''-that national
bank notes are cheaper to the people; and
his logic of arriving at this conclusion is
so novel that we give synopsis Of it:
From 1870 to 1875 the cost of printing
the greenbacks, according to the Official re-
ports as given by the Indiana member, has
been $5,730, l49; the cost for the nine
years preceding be estimates at 1885,
223, making the total cost of printing for
fifteen years $l4.325,3 73. Next he de-
clares that greenbacks are not taxable, and
they, therefore, escape the burdens levied
by states, counties and cities on other pro-
perty. These taxes, estimated at / 10
per cent. for the last fourteen years, on
$3.50, 100000 greenbacks would be $685.
| 10000; so that the total cost of tho green
backs has been $l07, 425, 373, which IS at
the rate of $7.605,054 per annum. Then
he states that the national banks have paid
from 1866 to 1875 inclusive, in federal and
state taxes, total of $l70, 930, 230. or at
the rate of ST. ,093, 1923 per aunum, while
they have cost the government only $l4,'
060.223 for the whole period Of ten years
They haye therefore yielded net revenue
to the federal government of $l66 S70,0l5
Adding the amount which the greenbacks
have cost the government ($l07, 425. 373l
to the amount which the national bank;
have yielded, ($l66, S70,0l5) Mr.. Hunter
makes result in favor of the natioDa
banks of 1926, 1888, showing that thu
national bank currency has been cheaper
by that amount in the last fifteen year
than the greenbacks. Some of Mr.. Hunt
er's figures are not of much value, and
some of them we have not the means a
hand Of testing, but We give his estimates
for what they are worth.

HIs excellency, the ambassador extra
ordinary aud minister plenipotentiary from
the United States of America to the kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland" has some
of the blood of John Knox in his veins
He is said to be lineal desceDdent of
Rev. John Welsh, Scottish clergyman,
who married daughter of the great re-
former, aud who was condemned to death
in 1905 for attending the session Of the
general assembly of Scotland, and promot-
ing the same, contrary to the desire Of
King James" This cruel sentence was
COMMITTED to perpetual Punishment from
British domiuions Finally, after living
fourteen years on the continent, he was
allowed To return aud reside in London
Soon afterward his wife obtained an in.
terview with the king and begged that he
would permit her husband to visit Scot
that Mr.. Welsh would submit to the
bishops. Then the Knox spirit showed
itself in his Child. Lifting up her apron
and holding it forth as if to receive fall
ing head, the heroic woman exclaimed
please, your majesty. would rather keE
(receivel his head there" Whether Mr.
Welsh went back to his native land is moi
stated, but he was not allowed to preach
until just before his death; and then only
once, for he died two hours after returning
from the church.

Tha NstranRement.

Washington dispatches to republican pa
pers say that Mr.. Hayes and the republi-
cans are drifting apart wider every day,
and tho case is beginning to present the
suspicious aspects of the first arrangement
between the republicans and Andrew
johnson in 1865. Nay, the differences be-
tween the large body of republicans in both
houses of congress and Mr.. Hayes are
much more pronounced than were those
between johnson and his party 10 congress
in December, 1865. There is more gen.
eral withdrawal of republicans from the
white house now than then, and the crowd
ofdemocrats is greater. In short, we are
sorrowfully told by republican correspond
ents thatrepublicans'have more completely
abandoned that field to the democrats than
they had at the like period of Johnson''
administration.
This frank admission Of the suspicious
relation between Mr. Hayes and his party
says the st. Louis Republican, shows tina
the republicans foresee what is coming anC
are powerless to avert it. Their president
is lost to them, and they are lost to him
The difficulties are beyond their control anC
beyond his, and in Withdrawing from tn
white house aud surrendering him to tn
democrats, they recognize the irremedia
bic nature of the situation Mr.. Hayes j
not democrat; no one accuses him of that
But he is not a republican after the Gran
pattern. He wants to reform the party
and the party does not want to be reform
ed. His administration is not one tina
they can support, and there remains t
them only the alternative Of opposing it.
