The press of the country is at present
devoting some attention to the discussion
of the evils of committee rule in onr
National and State legislatures. All
agree that it is unfortunate for q body to
be governed in important legislation by
committees which act in private, but
unfortunately it is difficult to provide
any better system. To abolish tho com.
nlittees would only ipjure, instead Of
helping the cause Of deliberate and in
telligen. legislation. It is the duty Of
the committees to investigate matters
committed to their charge, and report
upon them to tho body which it repre-.
sents. The original purpose Of COM
mittee was to have investigation, and in
all cases where there mas difference Of
opinion, to have the conclusion reached
by the committee, and the grounds for it
set forth in the report for the considera-
ton Of the body which has to act upon
it. These intended reports were very
different from the conventional, convent
ent reports in which the committees
merely state their conclusions without
reasons. The purpose of reference to
committees is that the body may be in.
formed during the discussion as fully as
possible of the merits of the pending
matter. AS matter of practice the
members Of the body do place an undue
Importance upon the report of commit
tee. It might be an improvement to
require all committees to report their
reasons in full, or to report without re-
commsndation. If reported in full,
every member could judge deliberately
of the suficiency of those reasons, and
if reported without recommendation,
then there would be no prestige Of COM
mittee action for or against the pending
measure. The members of the commit
tee would have the information derived
from the investigation, and could partic.
ipate in the debate. Something ought
to be done to place more responsibility
upon every member of legislative body
for its action. It is not for the interest
of the people that one-6fth of the mem
bers of representative body should
control the body, and yet in all of them
small proportion do the work and con-
troll the action taken.

that John Butler, son of Col. A. 2.
Butler, Commissioner of Agriculture,
fell in front of a circular saw and his
body was cut in twain. 1t is supposed
that his overcoat caught in the saw,
which drew him down upon it. Death

a Secretary for each United States
/ Senator il . luxury which ne can vol
understand is a great relief and assist
ance to Senator, for whereshe properly
attends to his duties they are very burr
densome and exacting. a secrstary
would take the bulk of q Senator'S cor
srespondence off his hand and attend to
innhmerable details, which now consume
his:time without il. any way especially
improving his capacity fol, work. Every
Senator Who takes anything like. an &C.
live partin the work Of the Senate could
hardy get along without q secretary,
but It seems to us! that he should employ
and pay for this luxury himself. The
resolution, therefore, Of the Senate ts
provide each member Of that body with
! secretary at the government expense,
] IS q piece Of sxtrayagancs which will
scarcely be approved BY the people. The
worst feature, too, about the matter, it
strikes us, IS that it has been done BY 9
simple resolution. of the Senate instead
Of by Act of Congress. It is, therefore,
not q measure put before Congress and
passed as other changes in the law are
made, after deliberate consideration by
the Law making body Of the government,
but it is the use of an incidental power
of the Senate for the benefit Of its ilem-
:bers in a way that WAS never contempla-
ted, and way which, although lawful. is
not legitimate. Already some member
Of the House has proposed to provide 8
secretary likewise for each member OF
the House. This would be as legitimate
as to provide one for each Senator. The
work of an active member of the House
being as laborious as that of Senator,
upon the same principle as that acted on
in the Senate, the resolution should pass.
The members of the House, however,
are too near. the people, and their cleo
tions come off too often for the passage
Of such q resolution in that body. 1t
would add about half a million dollars
to the expenses Of the government, with
out returning any con,pensating advan-
tages to tho people who pay the taxes. .
