some growing on the part of few whose
ambitions vaulted too high, but the general
verdict accords to Mr.. Carlisle the credit of
having performed this important and deli
cate duty in manner that gives promise
of much less friction than usual and far
more efficient work. While the compost
tion of some committees may be open to crit
icism, and in some cases men are at the
head of committees who would
better have been in the ranks, such inapt
assignments are not always avoidable. In
disposing of the large number Of new men
the speaker has been necessarily dependent
upon the advice of their colleagues, but the
men who have served with him in congress
he has measured. in most instances, by his
own knowledge of their capabilities and
placed them where they would do the most
good. So far as can be judged now, with
so large an unknown quantity as the new
element in the house presents, Mr.. Carlisle,
has, upon the whole, utilized the talent of
the house
TO MUCH BETTER ADVANTAGE
than he did in the Forty-eighth congress.
In the distribution Of chairmanships nine
teen of the old chairmen, including ten of
the most important committees have been
retained, and four others who have been
transferred TO the head of the committees
of more consequence. In many other in
stances the senior surviving Democrat of
the old committees has been promoted TO
the craftsmanship. The states OF Georgia,
Illinois. Pennsylvania, Virginia, New
York, Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ala
bama, Kentucky and Indiana carry
eff all of the best chairman
ships. The whole fifty chairmanships
are assigned as follows: New York and

and Western states. including West Vir-
ginia and Missouri, receive II chairman
ships; New England 1, and two Middle
