COMMENTS on COMMITTEES.
In regard 10 the committees Of the House
the New York Tilo ays. "Considoring
how long he has been about II, the work
Of the speaker cannot be- said to be very
well done, and its outcome in legislation
cannot bc looked forward to with much
hopeiulncss. The placing oi Mr.. Randall
at the head Of the Appropriations Com.
miitee may have been Inevitable, but Il
was very unfortunate. The more impor-
tant compittces arc fairly conservative and
arr likely 20 prevent any very extreme nc.
iion, except in the case of the Pensions
Committee and the COnmitice ON tho Ro-
form Of the Civil Service The naming Of
Archie Bliss NJ chairman of the former is
almost scandalous The chairmanship OF
the Committee on Civil Service Reform Is
given 10 Mr.. Clements, nm avowed oppo.
ncnt of the law, who reported in the last
Congress in favor Of its appeal. The course
Of the speaker In this matter is incxplicablc,
and though II may lead to NO positive mis-
chief, may easily prevent legislation that Is
needed"
