CONGRESSIONAL.
IIOISE.


Washington, Jan. 5.-Mr. 0rth rose to
a question OF privilege. He said he in
tended carly to introduce a bill for a
change in the method Of selecting COM
and said the RESPONSE
bility of forming committees was too
great for one man, however capable and
honest. AS now exercised it was 4 dam
gerous one, but one-power may some
times be used to determine the best in
terests OF the people. He said to the
speaker he was kindly assigned to the
second place on the committee on for
eign affairs, and second on rules, and
chairman of the civil service committee.
This was his seventh term here. He was
the Oldest member, except two. He had
during that time been on private land
claims, on the committee of ways and
means, and for ten years on foreign af-
fairs, part of the time as Its chairman.
He was the only republican member who
previous to this session had served as
chairman on any committee Of this
house. He therefore submitted that the
speakers recent action had done him in
justice, and therefore it was necessary to
his constituents, who feel Il pride in the
recognition of their representation, cs.
pecially when custom and precedent re,
quired such recognition. There is, how
ever, no remedy except this protest for
him and his constituents, and for appar-
ant reasons he asked to be excused from
service on the committee OF rules.
Chairman Springer said he would here.
after offer suggestions as TO the method
of appointment to the chair and refused
to vinaicate himself. but did not acqui-
esce in the other statement.
Chairman Ouh was excused from the
committee on rules. The call of COM
mitte,s WAS dispensed with.
| Bills were introduced:
BY MIR. Hawk. OF Illinois, to rcorgan
ixa the militia; also requiring a label or
oleomargerine.
By Mr.. Hewitt, thinking the khciive
for Clsopatra's needle rs gut from the
