Who Shall BE Speaker

The Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tives appoints the &C ccmmittces of the House;
the committees prepare the business,
monopolize the Debates call the previous
question" and where the majority is strong
usually control the legislation. The Speak
ership is, therefore, an important Office, and
an able and ambitious man rightly regards
it as next in point of power to the Presi-
dency. 1t is an object of desire to all promi-
cratic party, which will organize the next
House on the 18th of October, has had
during the summer at least n dozen candi-
dates for the Speakership, and probably
quite rs many moro; willing to serve If they
should be called on..r nor.~r.
At this time it seems probable that Mr..
Randall, Speaker of the last House, will be
reelected, and ho Is, on many accounts, q
very fit man for the place. Though he is
vigorous partisan he presided over the last
session with admitted impartiality and JUS
tice. He was particularly happy in the Sc
lection of such committees MS he had to
appoint, taking care to give the minority
always fair representation, and making
his appointments in oil cases with due re-
gard to fitness and character. He is man
of unimp peachable rectitude and belongs to
the liberal wing of his party.
Whoever is chosen Speaker will have
serious responsibilities to bear. The new
Congress will have to act upon number OF
very important public questions, and the
future of parties will depend greatly upon
their course on these questions: But the
Speaker if he is an able mnn can almost GER

labor question eclipses all others in real i'm
portance.
The. expedients recommended by Mr..
Phillips have some good points, and are,
perhaps, as good as any that could be sug-
gested in the present stage Of the great in
dustrial revolution through which we are
passing. We may doubt the competency Of
the employees in a vast establishment to form
a correct judgment of the rate of wages
which it can afford to pay them, and may
think it futile to submit to them the details
Of large and complicated business. But
the plan of holding mutual consultations,
with view to a friendly and equitable
adjustment of differences, is excellent We
do not see how the compulsion
of tho law can be brought in to
aid such arrangements, and since they
must be voluntary capitalists will con-
tinue to use their own discretion and to be
guided by their own sense of interest in
bringing differences with their laborers to
this kind of settlement Before this canvass
occasion to discuss the element of risk
which enters so largely into all great busi-
ness undertakings and explain his views OF
its relation to wages. He seems to assume
that wages should be regulated by the
profits Of the business but in many cases
large outlays are made without any expecta-
tion of profit until after lapse Of years,
and even this distant expectation may fail
to be realized. The laborers employed are
no judges of such distant contingencies, and
it seems as absurd to regulate wages by the
success of the business as it would be to
regulate the interest of capital by the same
method.

"N0t for Joseph"

An evening contemporary, amiably de-
sirous to assist General Howard in what it,
in common with the general public, sup
poses to be his search for Chief Joseph, ad-
vises him to advertise for the Nez Perce
chieftain in the personal column of the
HERALD.
The suggestion shows practical mind,
and would be excellent if General Howard
were really looking for Joseph. But he is
engaged in an enterprise Of q differ
ent kind, as we think it our duty now
to inform the public, which has been
too long misled on this subject We
doubt if there is any such man rs Joseph,
and we venture to say that General Howard
could not, even if he would, make oath to
There is no competent proof at all of his
existence. We know that there is O General
Howard. His name is in the Army Register;
We remember him as n manager Of the Freed
mans Bureau, and as president or some-
thing of u colored college, whose walls fell
down like those of the Hale piano factory
But we have no such proofs of Chief Joseph's
existence. He was never connected with
the Freedman's Bureau. His name does not
occur anywhere Us president of a college or
university. There is no such man as
Chief Joseph.
AS for General Howard, he is engaged
in an interesting exploration of the in
terror Of the continent. He is not 'look-
ing for man," as the street boys
say; he is making special Howard sur
vey of some parallel or another, and as
the last besotted Congress failed to make
ON appropriation for this work Howard
ingeniously got up sham Indian war and
pretended Chief Joseph. It appears that
Howard's scientific operations have been q
good deal interrupted by Indians, who,
with IN aversion to science for which they
are notorious, have stolen his horses, inter-
rupted his needed sleep and robbed his
party of their spare whiskey. And for all
these sufferings Howard now finds himself
reviled as failure by public which sup
posed that he was pursuing the Indians
when, in fact. they were pursuing him.
If this thing goes on much longer the cause
of science will require that some one shall
advertise in the personal, column of the
HERALD, not for Joseph, but for Howard.

Great Chance for the America n
Voter.

Variety is the spice of life. and the voter
in Pennsylvania or New Jersey will this
year have uncommon opportunities to select
his ticket. New Jersey has just now no less
than seven political organizations-demo-
crnts, republicans, temperance men, labor
reformers greenbackcrs, grangers and tax
pay yers-each of which will present q
ticket for the acceptance of the people In
Pennsylvania there are already four COM
plete State tickets in the field, the pro-
hibitionists having made their nominations
yesterday. New parties arc sprouting oil
over the West also. All this does not look
much like harmony, and vexes the souls of
the machine politicians. But the people
can stand it.

The. Presidential Rambler.

The pleasing reflection occurs to US as we
recall the wanderings of the administration
about the country, that it is not very trouble
some or difficult to govern this country.
The President and most Of his Cabinet
may journey from New Hampshire to Ohio,
and from Ohio to Tennessee, and from Ten
nessee, if they wish, to Louisiana, and still
the country goes on. When we remember
with what trouble and expense and amid
what intense excitement we get together
once in four years to choose President;
how, having voted, we then amid still greater
excitement form an electoral commission !;
with what huzzahs and martial music we
induct the new President into Office, and
then see how, being installed, he calmly
wanders about the country-it seems to us
that it might be we'll to make less fuss about
the preliminaries. There is favorite old
story among naval officers of a sedate quar-
termaster of the Congress frigate, lying in
the bay of Naples, on the occasion Of o visit
to the ship by number of magnii-
Gently uniformed Neapolitan dignitaries.
One of these, mistaking q windsail for
the mainmast, leaned against it, and
when it collapsed fell to the lower
deck. ''What was that noise, quarter
master?" demanded the officer Of the
deck "Only one of them kings tum-
bled down the windsail hatch, sir" replied
the unconcerned quartermaster, who proba-
bly, believed all the gold laced gentry kings,
and fancied that one moro or less could not
much matter.
However, we do not grudge the President
and his Cabinet their summer rambles.
The people have been glad to see them, and
if nothing very noteworthy has been said by
any of the Presidential party there was, per-
haps nothing to say. We are glad that the
President is going to visit some OF the
Southern States. In the North we have
been during the last eight years tolerably
familiar with Presidential appearances, but
the South has not seen Presidents face for
twenty years, and Mr.. Hayes course toward
the South, his restoration of constitutional
government there, will secure him de-
served welcome. His visit to the South
crn States will be benefit to the whole
country.
So far, then, all is we'll; but when the
President returns to the White House we
hope he will give himself to business. We
have had eight years Of dining
out administration, and change will
be welcome to the country. Gen.
eral Grant was, we believe, the first
of our Presidents who dined out. Mr.. Lin
coin followed the custom which was set and
followed by most, if not oil, of his prodeces-
sors, Of neither giving nor accepting general
or promiscuous invitations to dinners or
evening parties. In the old times the
President of the United States dined, during
his term of Office, with no one except ut
rare intervals and in strict privacy with
oil of his Cabinet. In other respects also
his intercourse with tho world was GUS
tomarily formal. We hope President Hayes
will return to the older and better fashions.
