The House Committees.

The chairmen of the House Co,u-
mittees as fixed by Speaker Keifer will
not take the country by surprise, as they
had been anticipated in the main 10y the
newspaper correspondents. The Stall
warts could not secure the displacement
Of Hiscock from the appropriations COM
mittee, and the administration had too
much political sagacity to lend itself to
this movement, which would have been
an immediate declaration of war.
Judge Kelley is put at the head of the
ways and means committee, but its ma
jority is by no means as violently high
tariff rs the chairman. Mr.. Randall is
put on this committee, though third
Pennsylvania, Russell Errett, is also a
member of it !; the ex-speaker was
crowded on it no doubt to save
Keifer the necessity for putting
him on the appropriations committee,
in which service he won his greatest dis
tinction and the gratitude of the coun-
try for his heroic resistance to jobbery
and his enforcement of public economy.
Such services are not wanted by the pre-
vailing majority in Congress now. How
ever, Mr.. Randall is assigned to the one
craftsmanship given the minority by a
new courtesy, and some of the Demo.
cratic leaders are recognized by appoint.
ments on the more important commit
tees. 1t is proper subject of complaint
that Mr.. Hewitt, one of the ablest and
most useful members of Congress
is placed on the insignificant
committee on buildings and grounds
and nowhere else. He might very prop
erly have been placed upon the ways and
means committee to represent New
York, as that state with special inter.
est in this committee hasn't member
on it. Mr.. Cox is LEFT on the census
committee, as that subject has been
his hobby and in its useful work he
has rendered valuable public service
Mr.. Holman, the watchdog of the
treasury,'i lis given very insignificant
and uninfluential place, despite his abil-
ity and long publicfservice. Mr.. Whit
thOrne, who exposed RObesOn's rascali-
ties, is punished with banishment to the
tail end of the levees committee, while
triumphant Robson, Keifer's best
friend, is second on the naval committee,
chairman of the committee on expendi-
lures in the naval department, second
on the appropriation committee, and
has place on the committee on rules.
Thus is Robeson's administration en-
dOrsed and the exposure of its iniquities
condemned.
The most striking thing about the
appointments is that Pennsylvania gets
seven chairmanships. 1t will be rC-
membered that it is to Pennsylvania
that Keifer owed his election and it is
therefore apparent that the proverbial
trading character of its politicians drove
a good bargain for themselves in the
arrangement to elect Keifer. They
made him speaker, and he now rewards
them amply. Complaint is made that
Curtin is ignominiously slighted, that

THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. "a. lssl
judge COx's Course.

Judge Cox comes in for great deal of
adverse criticism because of the freedom
of expression which he allows Guiteau,
and the leading newspapers of England
seem to be particularly disturbed about
it, although one would think that the
free and easy proceedings in the French
courts across the channel would have ac-
customed them to the scene presented
now for the first time in an American
court. On the continent, and in France
especially, it is very usual for colloquies
between the court and the prisoner to
occur Guiteau's practice is an enlarge
ment upon this, it is true, since he ad-
dresses everybody and nobody; still the
scene is no more undigniied than such
as are often witnessed in European
courts, and there is no need for the news
papers of England to feel great deal Of
astOnishment at the license allowed the
Washington prisoner.
1t is particularly Il case in which
criticism is easy, but correction difficult.
1t is certainly the fact that Judge Cox
has no power of moral suasiOn to compel
Guiteau to hold his tongue. If he was
in fact repressible by such means then
it would he wrong not to rcpress him.
The theory of his insanity compels the
admission that he cannot himself control
his tongue, and therefore the judge can
only restrain it by physical means. No
doubt many persons will claim that
Guitcau is not thus powerless over
himself but the same persons must
then claim that he is not insane. But
that is the very point that is in dispute.
When they decide that he is sane and
proceed to treat him Us Il sane man by
gagging him or removing him from
court because of his contempt for its
direction, they take from the jury the
only issue that it has to try.
If Guiteau is insane then it must be
admitted that it is such Il character OF
insanity as to make him irrepressible
but by physical force. That is the claim
of the defense and that is the matter tc
be tried. What then is the judge S duty
Judge Cox has decided that it is incum
bent on him to refrain from prcjudgins
the case by treating Guiteau as sane
and that his duty requires him to LEI
him expose himself before the jury a
though really what he claims to be. w
cannot see that he could have come t.
any other conclusion and the only crit
icism that can be applied to his actor
must be based upon the presumption
that he is insane. Should then an insane
man he gagged, or should he be removed
from the court which he disturbs ? Th'
law. jealous of the prisoners rights
frowns upon both these courses, and h'l
manity as well. Certainly SO long as tn
prisoners conduct is ut all endurable
the judgment of Il sensible and human
mind would forbid his seclusion from
his trial or his physical repression
There is spositive advantage furthermore
to the course Of justice in such magma
nimity, for jury can in no way bette
judge the state Of the prisoners min
than in viewing it in its unrestrainc
manifestations. WecOnsider that Judg
Cox is doing so nearly right in his en-
barrassing position as to deserve con
mendatiOn rather than condemnation.
