SELECTION or COMMITTEES.

The heated debate in the House, in regard TO
the appointment Of committees, ought to fix
public attention upon growing evil in legisla-
ton. The rules of the House, with the rapid
expansion of public business, give the commit
fees extraordinary and constantly increasing
power Hence, the power Of the Speaker over
legislation has become altogether too great.
But it is not as easy as some suppose to find
remedy.
AS matters stand, the power of the people to
make laws for themselves has been steadily
ABRIDGED. and is beng cut down every year, so
that self government In the Old sense is gradu-
ally vanishing. OF this there can be no dispute
among those who are acquainted with latter
day modes of legislation. The Speaker reaches
his seat by a compromise, or IN some cases by Il
bargain, between opposing candidates or inter
csts. Personal preferences and ambitions in
fucnce the selection far more than Il strict re-
gard for the public welfare. Still in the choice
of a Speaker the representatives Of the people
do have power to exercise some control over
legislation and if they rarely make that choice
with exclusive care for public interests, that is
the fault of the representative rather than OF
the system. But, the Speaker once chosen, the
representative has parted with very great pro-
portion of the power inrustcd 80 him by con-
sttuents. The Speaker proceeds to arrange the
committees &c carry ont his own ideas. lie
makes laws, and not the House, SO far as the
committees control, and the power of the com
mites under the rules is enormous. OF
course, this is the easiest method of selecting
committees. Bat 1t would be still "oa>ier," if
that were all, for the people to -hiIk the labor
of self government altogether.
Til. method of lawmakiug is contrary to the
fundamental principles Of sclf-Eovcmmcnt. Ii
the people knew how far their representatives
abdicatcd the power iHtrusted to tAem-how
largely they sub-let it, 80 to speak, to one man,
and al the very opening of the session-they
would Observation-Disclosures 10 elect any represent
atYc who would not pledge himself to resist
AMI break up a system 50 hostile to free lnsttu-
tons. Nor is there very wide difference of
opinion, among intelligent and conscientious
repr, sentatiycs, as to the need of some reform
in this matter The trouble is to agree upon
better plan.
To-day the Speaker is chosen, of necessity,
with preponderatng regard for one or two
questions He represents the majority party.

The debate on the Arrears Of Pensions res
olutiou in the Senate Is one of the lyclrst
euisodcs Of what has been so far an abnormally
dali session. When Mr. Voorhees, Oh Monday
had concluded a rather la1orious defence oi
the original measure, Mr.. Beck reiterated his
charge that both Houses Lad been imposed
upon by a ring Of pension agents, and thai, II
the actual cost had been foretold with any de-
gree of po,itivoncss, the bin would not have
received any support whatever. tie cIinched
hi, argument by asking Nh ingalls, if he had
not believed in voting for it, that the act
would involve Mt most az expenditure OF
SlQ. 100000 or $2O,OOO0O0. The Senator
paiTiad the thrust rather awkwardly, ana
finally, being forced to give a direct answer,
declared that he would have voted for the
bill, even if he had known it would cost
500. COO 900. He confessed that he did not,
at the time know what the arrearagcs would
cost, but he would to-day vote for similar
measure based on actual disability, whether 1t
should cost 5000 100000 or $l,00OOOO,OpO'
The Senator from Kansas evidently thinks that
Justice should he done, even though the Treasury
be squeezed dry and another National deOt OF q
billion or two contracted. He boasts that ne
would have voted for the bill even if ne had
known that it would cost twenty-five or
fifty times as much as he supposed. His sense
Of Justice is a. free and easy in toying with
the ciphers as Scller,s speculative fancy
On Tuesday Dir. Beck returned to the charge
with statements from the Pension Bureau show
ing that frauds were natural consequence OF
the Arrearages law, and that 1t had revived
10000 or 10000 claims previously declared.
Mr. Beck also developed some curious facts
from testimony taken by House committee in
1879 about thc way pressure was brought 10
bear upon Congressman to dragon them into
supporting the bill. Ii seems that there was an
association in Washington composed o>tcnSl5ly
OF soldiers but presumably supported 5y claim
agents, which sent ont blank petitions and cir
cllars with directions for their return to tins or
that Senator or Representative. The chairman
of this association admitted That he had inter-
tered in the Senatorial canvass il Kansas in
1878 to defeat Mr.. ingalls,, on the assumption
that he was unlrcndly to the soldier interest.
Was it this interference VIC ai,crWard made
the Kansas senator such an ardent champion
of the Alrcaragc, bill

The idea is widespread that insanity is in
crcasinS; few persons, however, reflect closely
ON the causes and extent of the growth. The
togic has been iuHjconsly discussed in paper
recently read before the Academy Of Sciences
of Wisconsin by Professor \. G. Wright with
reference especially to the fact that Tho census
of 1880 viii show, when the returns are tdbu-
lated, about 1000 insane in Wisconsin. against
2~3 ONLY enumerated in the census of 1850.
such figures are at first sight startling. Simi-
lar comparison. viii no doubt soon be made
relative to other States, and if the census re-
turns shall show for the country generally
seven times as many insane a. were reported
twenty years ago, many persons viii be heard
inQuiIing, Can there have been, in fact, 50
great an increase But we believe that much
abatement Is to be made from any sIch esu-
mate. Many Of the indications furnished by
these statistical comparisons are only appa-
rent. Several of Professor Wrights reasons
for passing such "A comment upon the statistics
for Wisconsin admit of being gencra,ized and
applied 70 the Nation at large.
OF course no one will tail to notice that in
twenty years the general advance OF population
may nearly double the actual number of the
insane Wisconsin for instance, has, let us say,
more than 100000 inhabitants in 1850,
against only 10000 in 1850; and this alone
should lead Us to expect $50 lunatlcS within
her borders. Realize tnat in the twenty years
the Nation has grown from 3O,O0O.OOO to
10000, 900 ana the fact that any special class
has nearly doubled calls for no further explain
alton. But suppose that the enumeration o.
the insane is elsewhere, as il seems 10 be IN
Wisconsin, not merely two-fold. but seven
fold that of twenty years ago. Are we to con-
cludc that the whole excess beyond a natural
doubling is an actual real addition Must we
believe hat Americans are truly growing crazy
three or four times faster than IN the last gen
Grafton Not necessarily. Other explanations
are to be considered. First III comparisons of
an early census with recent one are liable to
be affected by the deficiencies in former methods
