A bad Bov.

Last August. Charles W. Bartlett, boy II
years old, completed his term at the reform
school. He went to work on the farm of Fred
O. Mitchell at Sabattis. A few weeks ago,
Mitchell and the boy went out to milk the
cows. After he had MIXED one cow, the boy
returned to the house, stole Mitchel's watch
and ran off with it. He was traced to this city
and the police have been trying to get hold OF
him for some time. Yesterday he was captured
and City Marshal French came after him last

For Sneaker Car,isie,s Eve.

Let the best men in Congress come to the
front, Mr.. Speaker. The new rules, which
you were so prominent aud influential in
having adopted, have stricken the fetters
from Congress. For the first time In over
decade the representatives Of the people sin
Congress assembled are free to legislate
for the benefit of the people.
Questions of precedence and social eti-
quette may be settled rs it pleases the
wseacres who trouble themselves about
such matters, but every one who knows as
much as that celebrated colt of Thompson's,
which has become a proverb, knows that
you are at least the second most powerful
man in the government, the President be-
ing first, possibly.
The greatest prerogative Of your high
Office is the power you have In the selec-
tion Of the committees of the House of
Representatives, and the custom which al
lows you to select the chairmen.
Magnetic healers claim that they lose
some of their magnetic power when they
lay their hands upon the patients to whom
they administer and 1t is certain that when
you name the committees of the House
some of the power inherent in you as
speaker is lost.
Mr.. Speaker, you are without doubt
man Of ability, a man of unimpeached
honesty, a man Of unquestioned courage
Let the power which passes from you when
you name the committees Of the House,
pass to men Of ability, honesty, and cour-
age.
There are many questions of grave i'm
port to the people Of these United States
that will have to he considered by the com
mttees that you will name. The tariff, the
silver question, the education Of the peo-
pie, the labor problem, the uniform bank
Iuptcy bill, the increase of facilities for
the speedy adjudication Of questions of
law and right, the regulation Of interstate
commerce, the rebuilding Of an American
merchant marine, the building Of an Amer
lean navy, the purity Of elections, the de-
fense of the seaboard, the improvement Of
the Mississippi river, the disposition of the
Indians are some Of these questions.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN differs with
you and with your party as to how some of
these things should be done, but II accOrds
TO you, as ii claims for itself, an honest de-
sire to settle ali of them so that the great
est good shall come TO the greatest number.
Knowing as you do the importance OF
properly framing legislation on the subjects
mentioned, and all Others which may come
before the House Of Representatives; know
ing that all legislation is perfected in the
committee rooms, and knowing the ante
cedents and qualifications Of most Of the
members of the House, it becomes your
highest duty, as II Is your high prerogatiye,
10 select the men best qualified by educa-
ton, training, and experience for chalrmen
Of thcvahous committees And In using the
words "training and experience II is not
intended 10 confne the "training and eX-
periencen to that which may have been

4 Fact Somewhat Suggestive.

Facts which have come to the knowledge
Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, prompt the
suggestion that II will be wise on the part
Of representatives of eastern mining inter-
ests to consider how far they can afford to
go in opposing the great mining interest of
the far west
The Republican delegations in congress
from Colorado, California, Oregon, and Ne
vada will be found decidedly disinclined
to meet the views of their political breth-
ren in the east, as to protection for min
eral products, If the latter continue to make
war on the product of silver mines.
1t is not our present purpose to discuss
principles, but to state fact for the bene-
fit of whom it may concern.
The producers Of silver claim that they
have rights which the producers of coal
and iron are bound to respect.
