carIlsIe's Candidacy not Effected.

Representative Welborn of Texas, one of
the ablest and most experienced parliamenta-
rians in the House, was asked what effect
contest over Mr.. Carlisle's seat-should there
be a contest-would have upon his candida
cy for the speakership Of the House. Mr..
Welborn replied
Such a contest would furnish no reason what
ever why Mr.. Carlisle should not be speaker Of
the House In the 50th Congress. Rule 10 Of the
House OF Representatives reads: "Unless other
wise specially ordered by the House, the speaker
shall appoint at the commencement Of each Con-
gress the following standing committees" (the
list includes the committee on elections and all
the standing committees Of the House). The
rules OF the present House cannot by their force
Tx methods OF procedure In subsequent Con-
crosses. Nevertheless, by unbrokeA usage,
new House, as preliminary TO its permanent or
ganization, adopts the rules Of the prior House.
Such, take it, will be the course in the next
House, and rule viii thus control the constitution
of committees in the 50th Congress. Should there
be contest over Mr.. Carlisle's seat the House
itself Will In some suitable way, select the COM
mittee on elections. and thus Mr. Carlisle VIII be
relieved OF any possibility Of embarrassment ON
that score. To hold that Mr.. Thoebe's contest
with Mr.. Carlisle disqualifes the latter for speak
err eonduces to a result illogical and absurd II
such holding were followed the influence and
power of the chosen leader of the dominant party
In the House could be eifectualy crushed at any
time by springing contested election case, no
matter how absolutely devoid 1t might be OF mer-

MASSACHUSETTS Mugwumps.

1t may please the Massachusetts Mug
wumps to know that Congressman Collins,
in the Washington Post, speaking OF the
election, in reply to the question, 'What did
the Mugwumps do?" says: "They voted the
straight Democratic ticket They became
Democrats. The Democratic party absorbed
them. There is no Mugwump in Massachu-
setts now. In 1884 the Mugwump, or Inde-
pendent Republican as he called himself,
would not vote the Democratic ticket. He
made ticket of his own composed of Re-
publican ticket with Cleveland electors in
stead of Blaine electors. This year he would
not make an independent ticket. He was
represented in the Democratic State Conven-
ton. He voted the Democratic ticket and
became Democrat to remain Democrat"
And does not that show that the Mugwump
who was created as q Mugwump by Mr..
Cleveland's candidature in 1884 has been
made Democrat by Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration" ''The administration has moth
ing to do with it. The Mugwump of Massa-
chusetts has become Democrat, because he
is satisfied with the management of the DEM
Ocratic party in the State of Massachusetts"
