Speaker Keller is no doubt largely and just
ly censured for his manner of making up the
committees of the house, but no man, on crti.
cally examining the composition of those
committees, will accuse HIM of stupidity or
of not acting with almost devilish ingenuity
to a purpose When Kerr and Randall ap-
pointed the house committees they arranged
them so as to check jobbery, save public mo-
ney, and strangle the measures OF the lobby.
In this they succeeded so well that the lobby
for several years actually ceased to exist as a
live, palpable agency in congressional legIsla-
ton. Keifer has framed the committees so as
exactly to reverse this policy. Every noted
henchman of the jobbers-Robeson Hlscock,
Ortiz, &c.-is given prominent place on com
mttees charged with the disposal of public
money, while not only arc such guardians of
The treasury among the democrats as Randall,
Hewitt, Holman, &c, hidden away on the
most unimDoltant committees, but even repub-
hcan members who had made record as
slicklers for honesty and economy are equally
sighted and assigned to obscure positions.
As IN the matter of the revenue and appro-
prlatlon committees, SO IN regard to the bank
ing and currency committee, Keller knew ex
aclly what he was about Congressman Buck
ner, formerly chairman of that committee
says the gentlemen selected by Speaker Keifer
will report favorably on any bill recommended
by Comptroller Knox or the national banks

ENFORCING THE LAw.--OhiO, with as rigid
next to Illinois, more whisky than any other
state In the Union and her people, man for
man, can punish about as much bad whisky
rs the inhabitants of any other state. AT the
same time the state can outvie Maine in the
fiery zeal of Its temperance enthusiasts, and as
all attempts to enforce the rigid teetotal laws
of the state In the legal way have proved
fruitless, they have not scrupled to invoke the
aid of Judge Lynch. At Cedarvlle, in that
s ate, last Saturday morning, long before day
boys suddenly made rad on Mr.. Berryman's
billiard and pool room, where it was alleged
liquor was sold, and IN few minutes nothing
remained of his four billiard and pool tables
but fragments and spllnters, the destruction of
property amounting to $500. The drug store
of Dir. Caldwell was next attacked, the doors
broken in and the heads of two barrels of
whisky knocked out and the contents allowed
10 run over the floor. Then the mob scattered
to their homes, leaving note TO the owner of
the buildings that had been invaded to the
effect that If he meant to rent them as places
in which liquor was sold he had better have
them heavily insured, as they might take fire
An attempt to enforce the law" in Kansas
on the same day, without the aid of Judge
Lynch, resulted somewhat differently. Amos
Wright, who keeps abilliard-room at Parsons
was suspected of selling liquor, and a warrant
was issued for his arrest. Constable Bruce
visited the place, and was met at he door by
Wright with double-barreled shotgun. The
and of Sheriff Bender and a pose OF twenty
citizens was procured, but the billiard man
kept them at bay fiom \. N. until dark, when
he made his escape.
