" Crawford County system as employed IN
three or four counties in Western Pennsylvania
under which each party holds preliminary
election, mt which its members vote Tor can'u-
dates to be supported at the regular elec'oh
does not gain ground. 1t is found that the
men who do the most active canvaSslDg Ior
themselves get the most votes and become the
nominees. and thus no better candidates are Sc
cured than come ont of the old caucns and con-
ventiOn plan. Jealous advocates Of reform IN
the methods of political action in tits country
have detained against the caucus system Tor
the past ten years. Mr.. Thayer asks them to
change their plan and cndeayor to renoYate the
system and restore it to its original function as
a fair organized expression of the will OF the
majority. His suggestion is certainly worth
tltinl king about.

The Washington correspondents furnish MS
from time to time accounts of the activity OF
this or that candidate for the Speakership OF
the House and of the probable action of this or
that State delegation. We read that one man
has secured the half of one delegation and ex-
poets the whole of another that the members
from one State are united in behalf OF A, but
will divide between and if he cannot win;
that one candidate is popular" another

has the President, and Ohio because she has

gossip Of the Same sort but we do not learn
that there is Il great deal of discussion gong
on about the actual merits of the numerous
aspirants to the Chair. When the members
get on the ground in considerable force, we
hope to see the moro experienced and lnfluen-
tial among them set their faces against local
claims State prejudices and mcre personal pop
ularity. and determine to support the man VINO
is best qualified for the place, no matter where
he may hail from.
The Spcakcrsbip is a great office. Its occu-
pant is really the leader of the majority side
of the House, and has more power than score
of members combined to shape and forward
legislation. No ordinary man can hll the
place acceptably. Experience in legislative
bodies. a wcll-baanccd mind, quick percep-
ton, cool Judgment. a capacity to think OIL
hand and think correctly and the natural quality
of leadership which commands respect, are eS-
sential to a good Speaker. He should, besides,
be q strong, able political chief. Among the
candidates now named in connection with the
place there ought to be at least one who fills
the bill better than anybody else. Let the
Republican members who appreciate the inn
portancc of having a thoroughly competent
man in the chair find HIM, and unite upon him
without considering the locality question, or
asking him how he would make up the COM
mittccs It is Of small account whether the
Speaker comes from the East OF the West, or
from the Middle States; but it is of considerable
consequence that hc he the sort of man to do
credit to the Republican party and to dispatch
the business of the House in fair and orderly
manner. If an effort is made to elect the best

suit before the session is month Old

has been most successful thus far in its performances
of Carmen" The fact may not speak much for its
artistic ability for Bizet'S pretty work is crowded
with external charms that even a mediocre
performance of its music seems to leave
q sensation OF pleasure If the cos
tunes be only fresh and bright and little justice
be done the scenic opportunities. But with Mad
anne Hauk, Siguor Csmpanini and Signor Del Puents
In the cast there is always an assurance Of good
music, aud so the charm is heightened Last nights
performance was Oh the satisfactory plane Of its
predecessors Madame Hank repeating the finished
and graceful work which has established
hers as the ideal Carmen the world over and SignOr
Campanni playing with tire that made the scenes
in the smuggler's cave and before the circus glow
with dramatic warmth raro ON the Oporatic stage.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER

The question who shall be the leader of the
minority in Congress bids fair to give the
Democrats as much trouble as the question of
the Speakcrship does the Republicans. In
deed, more; for the Speaker having been once
nominated, that question has been finally dis
posed of, and will not again come up. But
tho question of Democratic leadership in the
House is not 30 easily settled. The leader of
to-day may be deposed tomorrow, and he
again on the day after. His tenure is uncer-
tain. his term indefinite. His title runs from

portant an integer the society was IN the

Requiem Mass by Berlioz and the whole of RUBIN

Yesterday. for the first time since the GU
team trial began, Justice Cox referred to the
indecent and utterly intolerable behavior OF
the spectators For number OF days the
trial has been frequently interrupted with
bursts of brutal laughter, whenever the
prisoner chose to exert himself for the amnSe-
ment of the crowd, and on several occasions
they have Insulted the Judge with such APP
plause as an audience gives to stump
speech or to a new joke at the theatre. These
anronts to the seli-respect OF the Court nave
been accented in the meckcst silence, for rca-
sons best known to the Court. The antics OIL
the prisoner and the hOrse-play OF the au-
dience ma G the trial u shame to the AmeH-
can peoplc. ard filled foreign countries with
establishment where it is not known that, IN
the punishment of crime, Washington ceases
to be the National Capital and becomes
MARYLAND village. Yesterday the Judge at
last demanded order, and commented severely
ON the disorder that had prcvailcd-after hav-
ing allowed it to 90 on for five days With

The six poor veterans, the youngest of them
eighty-twO years of age, who assembled yes
terday TO celebrate Thanksgiving Day, missed
their annual dinner The hotel which has
usually furnished it sent word that it was
postponed "until next Fourth of July" mas
much as one of the feeble men is ninctyOnc
years old, this reads like an i'll timed joke.
The begging letter writer loves a shining
mark 1t is authoritatively announced that
Mrs. Garfield is greatly harassed by the re-
ceipt of these pests of the mails, of which from
thirty to sixty come to her every day. If the
consideration that this lady, above all others
at this time should be spared annoyance
counts for nothing with these people, perhaps
the plain intimation that they will get moth
ing may have an effect
IF Guiteau is sane, is he the only sane man
present at the Washington trial9 Are the
spectators insane9 Popular opinion is fast
reaching the point that the Court must have
had eccentric ancestors. But are the counsel
for the prosecution insane also Yesterday one
of them carried on repeated cOlloquies with
the assassin, in which he addressed HIM usual
ly IA "Mr. Prisoner" and the two fenced
amiably, very much as they m eht have done
If they were debating on the floor of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Scoyille closed his address to the jury
with eulogy of Guiteau as "a gentle, kind
"hearted affectionate mana man who would
"not harm single person in the universe for
81 bad motiven Yesterday this angelic per-
sonage made deliberate and brutal attack
upon his former wife, plainly designed to dis
credit her testimony in advance or to keep her
off the witness stand altogether. Whether
Guiteau be sane or insane, enough has been
learned of him to show that he is something
very like rattlesnake in human form.

TO the duties devolying upon him, for
only on the I'd of November last he was
called upon, with other goodRepublicans,
to hold an inquest over the defunct re-

are still sitting on 1.-THE chances being
good that they will hold it down for
some time to come before they give a
verdict, as the corpse has way of get
