The Senate Committees.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The work Of ar
ranging the Senate committees. or at least the
majority membership, was completed this
afternoon by the Republican caucus commit
tee. Their report win be made to a cacus on
Monday. Some Of the chairmanships will
doubtless be as follows:
On agriculture. Algernon Paddock, Of Ne
braska; on railroads, John FL. Mitchell Of
Oregon; on manufactures, Matthew S. Quay
of Pennsylvania; on engrossed bills, Wilkin-
son Call OF Florida.
The committee on enrolled bills lost both
Republican members by the retirement OF
Senators Bowen and Sabin; and Senator
Farwell gets the Craftsmanship, which gives
him a most eligible committee room.. The
Democrats are given majority on Dat two
or three committees. instead OF nine as at
present, with one equally divided between
the two parties. The Democrats are said to
be satisfied with the arrangement and dlyi-
sion OF membership, but they evidently find
1t more difficult TO place their men. as they
have not yet completed their work. They
will not hold their caucus until after the Re-
publicans, probably not before Tuesday.

sT. PATRICK,S day.

ST. PATRICK deserves two anniYer-
sary days,this year. 1t has been a great
year for Ireland and for the cause of
home rule. and double honOrs to the pa
iron saint of the Emera Id Isle are en-
tirely appropriate. Then there are two
living men entitled to share the honors
of the occasion with ST. PATRICK
PARNELL and GIADsToNE-and it was
appropriate that each should have
day to himself. Thus the religious sery-
ices of yesterday and the secular cele-
bration to-day combine most harmonl-
ously in affordlng an opportunity for
an expression of the jubilant feeling
that fills the heart of every true friend
of Ireland over the prospect of speedy
freedom for the inhabitants of that OPP
pressed country. The God whom ST.
PATRICK worshiped and preached Is
now directing the cause of Ireland and
clearing the way for her liberty by
bringing the wicked Vaccinations of
her enemies to naught. Nothing short
of a Providence could have turned the
bitter prosecutions instituted by the
Tory leaders against PARNEIL into a
victory for the Irish cause. and a COM
plete vindication of Its champions. The
same Providence that guided ST. PAT
KICKS feet to Ireland to give her peo-
pie religious light and freedom, is now
directing the cause of the brave leaders
who are seeking to restore her civil and
political freedom.
