CarlisIe's Committees

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Speaker Car
isles committees don't improve on &C
quaintance. 1t is evident that the South
is more in the saddle than appeared to
be the case at first sight, and that what
ever may happen to the great industries
of the country, free trade and whisky
are to be protected. Speaker Carlisle
has taken small counsel of the prudence
of his party and given small space to
compromise IN organizing the Ways and
Means Committee. Free traders are to
the front and the whiskey ring to the
fore in all its Democratic membership.
Mr.. Mills leads the list with all that his
leadership implies, and W. L. Scott
stands for uncompromising opposition
to Randall. Through the Beckenridges,
Kentucky has, in effect, two members
from States and districts over which
the whisky ring casts its shadow. With
Speaker Carlisle in the chair and the
Democratic share of the revenue CONT.
tee made up as it is the great dIstillers
are safe. New York has not member
New England has but one, three come
from the two great manufacturing States
of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and one from
Michigan. The rest are chiefly from
States whose industry, experience, and
training do nothing to fit Congressman
for the delicate and difficult work of re.
vising the tariff. The majority has ev,
erything to learn and no desire to ac
quire information. 1t is free trade
court-material organized to convict anG
sentence the industries ofthe land. The
free trade assault planned and project
ed in organizing the Committee OIL
Ways and Means is seconded and sup
plemented by depriving Mr.. Randall o
his best and oldest coadjutors on the APP
preparations Committee. Mr.. Hol
man is removed, perhaps willingly, from
the committee where he has won hi
reputation. Wilson is translated to the
Committee on Ways and Means, ant
Townsend receives the craftsmanship ht
desired, The empty honor of the chair
manship remains in Mr.. Randall'
hands. 1t remains to be seen whethe
it carries with it the control of the bust
ness of the committee. The Indication
are that it does not. Mr.. Carlisle seem
to have put the friends of free trade OF
guard ready TO prevent the delay of APP
preparation bills which has before beer
fatal to tariff measures.

SENATOR sHERMAN.s GREAT
SPEECH.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Every
sentence of Sherman's speech shows
mastery Of the subject.
Rochester (N. " Herald. Senator
Sherman is one of the best equipped f.
nanciers in the country.
indianapolis Journal: Mr.. Sherman
confined himself to facts and figures;
Mr. Voorhees, scared far above and be-
yond such paltry and material consider
atoms.
Philadelphia Press: Senator Sherman
has indicated the line Of battle for 1888.
For the free traders to eyade it will be
cowardice and to face it means destruc-
ton.
Wheeling InteHigencer: As Mr.. Voor-
hees says, the President is standing on
the Democratic platform. On this we
have always insisted, but some Demo-
Gratis wouldn't have it that way.
New York World DEM: Mr.. sher-
man is not foolish enough openly to adj
vocate the absurd and unconstitutional
policy of collecting a tax on whisky to
be divided among the States.
Philadelphia Times: The portions of
Senator Shermsn's speech that are of
practical value are those in which he
advocates the repeal of the tobacco ia x
and the reduction of the duty on sugar.
Pittsburg Commercial Grzette: Senator
Sherman fully sustained his reputation
for craftsmanship, as well us defender
Of the American system of protection,
in the speech delivered in reply to the
Presidents free trade message.
st. Louis Globe: Democrat: Senator
Sherman's address was at once COM
piete and mastery exposure ofthe falla-
cies contained in the Presidents mes
sage, and a scathing and powerful in
dictment of the policy of the Democrat
ic party. ..
Cleveland Leader: Senator Sherman's
reply to the administration free trade
manifesto is such an admirable presenta-
ton of the whole question at issue that
it may we'll serve as sort OF text book
for Republican orators and writer's in
the coming campaing.
New York Tribune: AS practical
tinancier Senator Sherman found little
difficulty in subjecting to destructive
criticism the Presidents confession of
helplessness IN dealing with the surplus.
He proved that the power of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to purchase bonds
was not pretense nor a deoatable sup
position, but an unquestionable right.
With equal success, as defender of the
American economic system, the Senator
repealed the attack made in the mes
sage upon home industries.

IT will be remembered that during the
troublesome times IN New York City af-
ter the Presidential election in 1884,
when there was still uncertainty as to
the result, it was charged that Jay Gould
was manipulating things to settle things
as he liked, and it is well-known that a
bowling mob several times surrounded
the millionaire's residence and threat
ened vengeance. 1t is now stated that
jay was SO badly scared by their demon
stations that he went down to the safety
deposit vaults and had himself locked
up in one of the compartments, and staid
there two days, having food brought to
him by the attendants who were let into
the secret. This is pretty good story
on Mr.. Gould, and it Is given for the
truth, too.

The Mankato Journal came out Satur-
day under the changed name of "The
Mankato Democrat" and made the an.
nouncement that it would hereafter casl
its fortunes with the great party of JEFF
fersonian simplicity. In its manifesto
it exhibited an ability to be as rabid, and
"uncompromisingly Democratic" as the
most devoted of the unwashed could
desire, and it will doubtless fill the long
felt want OF an out and out Democratic
paper something this county has not had
for long time.

The devotion of Democracy to civil
service reform is beautifully shown by
the appointment of Mr.. Clements, Of
Georgia, to the craftsmanship of the
House committee having charge Of that
matter. Mr.. Clements has deliberatly
put himself on record as against civil
service reform by voting for Seny's bill
to repeal the law passed by the Repub
licans creating the commission. Mr.
Carlisle must have known this, and his
appointment of Mr.. Clements clearly
shows that il is not the policy Of the
Democrats to give civil service reform
ANY encouragement.

A WASHINGTON correspondent, speak
ing of the proposition which the
Republicans have in hand regarding the
duty on sugar:
A new element has entered into the
question of the proposed reduction of
the duty on sugar in an agreement
which, it - reported upon apparently
good authority, has been made by the
largest sugar reiiners of the country TO
the effect that these retiners will 60 OPP
crate to secure reduction of one-haif
the duty on sugar. The sugar rehners
have hitherto opposed any such reduc
ton, and, although II small class so far
as numbers go. have always been able
to exercise an influence upon legislation
greatly disproportionate to their num-
beers. 1.-THE Republicans shall decide
to agree upon the policy that one-half
the duty upon sugar shall be taken off,
the refners would be allies not to be
'lespised i'll such u movement.

In circular issued from the Office OF
the secretary ofthe state board of health,
to the town clerks and health officers in
Minnesota, DIR. Hewitt, the secretary,
says: "More than two-tmrds of ali the
returns of births and deaths in the state
for 1887 are now on file in this office;
nearly all of them made TO clerks and
health officers, as required by law, and
sent to the secretary, by those officers,
monthly. The remaining returns must
be here, also. before the actual birth
death, and disease, rate can be obtained
and before the secretary can make the
certificates of the number of births and
deaths reported by each officer, upor
which payment is made. The
success of the new law, despite sucl
popular ignorance and carelessness, il
such as to Justify the belief that another
year will find its neglect the rare exeep
ton. The neglect is greatest in country
districts, and much depends, therefore
upon the thorough personal notification
| OF all concerned. OF $3.50 townsh
clerks, fully 900 have succeeded in en-
forcing the law, with but little difficulty
and are satisfied that with tact and quie
persistency on the part Of clerks ant
health officers, another year will brini
us still greater success.

The Democratic members from Min
nesota are paid unusual honors for new
members by Speaker Carlisle in his as
signment of them upon important com
mittees. 1t is quite evident that it is
the Democratic policy to pay Minnesota
considerable attention. There have
been a number of occurrences lately
which give color TO the surnnse that the
Democratic leaders thinks that by a
proper and carefully conducted fiirta-
ton with Miss Minnesota her suscepti-
bilities NAV be SO played as to secure her
decoy into the Democratic camp. How
badly these would-be Washers are fool
ing themselves will appear when the
returns come in next November.

THE Democratic members from Min
'nesota are well taken care of in the as
Segment to committee places. Mr..
Rice IL given a place on the appropria-
tons, which honor is seldom given a
new member. Mr.. Wilson goes on the
commerce committee and Mcdonald
has two important places, namely: on
public lands, where he succeeds Strait,
and on the new committee of merchant
marine and fisheries. Mr.. Nelson goes
on Indian affairs again and Clifford, of
Dakota, is also assigned to this commit
tee. They both favor the opening of the
Sioux reservation.

IT appears from letter of the At
torney General to the Secretary of the
Treasury, that there is no money to pay
United States bailiffs, witnesses and
jurors, and that the q. S. courts in sew
eral districts have adjourned on that ac-
count, and the Secretary is asked to
press Immediately the passage of an
"urgent deficiency BILL Here is an
other evidence OF Democratic econ
omy" SO much boasted of at the last ses-
sion. The first business to be done this
session is to make mp Deficiencies. The
surplus bugbear is one of Democracy
own making in large degree.

PRESIDE INITIAL PArcH-woRk.

FnGoiDC IN iAL "a S7- WOHk.
Some time ago the Cleveland Leader
suggested the following method of find
ing the name of desirable Presidential
candidates:
Allison.
H-awIey,
Blain-E,
Ha- r.. rison.
Gresham,
Ev-A-rts,
Li-N-coln.
The Columbus Dispatch allowed that
this WAS well enough, but preferred this
combination:
Bob Lincoln,
Al-L-ison, .-
Ev-A-ris,
Harrison,
Sherman,
Hawl-E-y.
The GAINESVILLE Times Recorder present
ed its idea of the situation thus:
Haw-Irey,
Harr-tsOn,
Blei-N-e,
Lincoln,
Allison,
Ingalls,,
Sherma-N.
When this got back to the Leader of
flee that paper offered the following for
the consideration ofDemocrats, remark
those of the "most prominent candidates
thus far, and if YOU read carefully be-
tween the lines there will not be great
difficulty in hitting upon the name OF
the probable nominee"
Mr. Se-C-tionaiism,
Mr., Rebel Flags,
MIR. Frc-E Trade,
Mr.. Civil Service Reform,
MFR. D. E-coration d. Fishing,
Mr.. One Term Only,
Mr.. Jeffersoni-A-n Simplicity,
Mr.. ln-N-nOcuouS Desuetude,
MrAmericanCyelope
Now comes the Washington Critic with
this as popular with some Democrats,
though slightly faded
Hill,
Norris son.
Carlisle,
Cleveland
Then follow these suggestions:
H-awlcy,
Blain-E.
Har R-rison,
She-R-man,
Gresham,
Lincoln,
Allison,
EVar-T-s
She R-man.
Carlisle,
Evar-T-s,
Norris on,
And this one for frolicsome send-of
for the whole business:
Cleveland
BLAINE,
Evar-T-s.
H-awley,
SHERMAN,
Ha-R-rison,
Gresham
Morris-O-n.
In-G-alls,
Allison,
Carlisle.
Hill,
Foraker
G-orman,
Voorhees,.
| Pendl-E-ton,
| Randall,
To which the Winona Republican add
the following immaculate regulator:
Foraker,
