SPEAKER FAUNCE, in making up lie
committees of the lower House at Nar-
risburg. had the advantage ct Il large
number of committees to be filled aud
of many members in each, so that he
could. without difficulty or unjust dis,
elimination, find several places for each
member. On the other hand he had
many members to provide for and
necessarily could not be we'll ac-
uuainted with the special aptitude
of even a majority OF them for committee
work. Under the circumstances he has
won for his work, on the whole the IA
yorable criticism of his political friends
and opponents. The chairman of the
principal committees are the same as
have been foreshadOwel, and the make =
I'D of their committees generally is in
accord with them. That of railroads is
the subject of most unfavorable criti
cism. But, like others who are to be given
a " chance" the members of this com
mittee who are not above suspicion may
do better than their past record would
Justify the expectation of being done. BE
sides the powers of this committee, and
indeed of most of the committees, may

the speakers discretion in referring bills
to them. Most measures, especial.
such as relate to corporations, may will
about equal propriety be referred to an!
one of several committees, SO that, after
all,the work of the speakers committees
will depend good deal on the speaker
himself.

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. ie. les
Dougnerty en- Cassidy.

Daniel Dougherty is man OF orlginai
ideas. He is not fond of accepting the |
opinions of his fellows, being quite con-
tent with his own. He has just deliver
cd himself to Philadelphia Times re-
norter of his views about Pattison and
Cassidy. He holds the former to be hon.
est, and believes that he will reform
abuses and be stern and unbending in
his determination to do right. But he
declares that his nomination was little
better than an insult to every Demo-
crat of brains in Pennsylvania, because
he had never done anythingto show him
worthy of so high an honor; that ne
made a good controller, and should nave
been kept there instead of being selected
as the best, the bOldest and the most
gifted citizen of Philadelphia to fill

TVS idea seems to be- that a governor ei
pennsylvania should demonstrate him.
self to be a great man before he is pro-
posed for that exalted place; but, as
Mr.. Dougherty himself suggests, this
would be entirely at variance with Penn.
sylvania precedent. He considers that
there is something very wrong In
our state to keep it so steady in its Sc

trates. 1t is an honest TACT that very
few, indeed, of Pennsylvania's govern
or's have been men of shining talent.
The governorship has seldom been made
stepping.stone to higher political honor
In view of the Pennsylvania fashion OF
governors. Mr.. Dougherty is somewhat
illogical in declaring that anybody was
insulted by Mr.. Pattison's nomination
even though Mr.. Pattison be the com
monolace man that Mr.. DOugherty con-
siders him to be.
Mr.. Cassidy he holds to lie man O
entirely different feather. To him h'
ascribes Mr. Pattison's nomination and
consequently, his election, and therefore
argues that he holds a mortgage on ,h

the attorney generalship, for which Mi

THAT is shocking story which comes
from Milwaukee, duplicating the lessee OF

the report that he was recently detected
in an attempt TO blow up tho place with
gas lends some color to the story, and
seems to have so excited the indignation
of the people Of the city that tie prisoner
is said to have been in danger Of lynch

viously tried to blow up the house, why

To The Editor.

1 had occasion to go to Four-and-a- half
street this morning, and in crossing the city
hall park Judiciary square) l, with many
others, had to walk under broiling sun over
dusty walk without particle of shade. In
plain sight, few feet away, was the straight
walk, with double line of shade trees, once
used but now shut off from the public and
soddod over. The good time predicted in
Scripture is when the crooked paths shall be
made straight. We must have fallen on very
evil times indeed when men deliberately
make the straight crooked.
Instead of a direct and cool walk, we are
driven into circuitous, hot path, filed with
dust and gravel most exasperating TO the
soles of all pedestrians. No less than three
men within a minute commented on the folly
of such a miscalled Improvement. That il

Traces OF Miss NIeNary.

Miss McNary, the young lady clerk of the
Interior department who disappeared from
the city 80 mysteriously several weeks ago,
and about whose whereabouts nothing could
be learned, has, it is said, been traced TO Bos-
ton, and her father has gone to that city in
search of her. She borrowed pearl ring, u
pair of diamond bracelets, and diamond
ring from Mrs. Mason who feels very uneasy
about her valuables, although she believes she
will be paid for them if they are not re-
turned. Miss McNary had often borrowed
them before, and nothing was thought of it
when she got them the last time, as she bore
a good character among the ladies in the bu-
reau where she was employed. The names
of two young men are connected with this
affair, one of whom has borne good name
heretofore, but that of the other is not SO
good, as he has been mixed up in several un-
savOry scrapes II is reported that the uncle
of Miss McNary treated her badly, and that
is one reason for her sudden departure.
