Speaker Reed disappointed those who pre-
dicted that he might be brilliant but would not
be business-like as q presiding officer by his
prompt appointment Of the leading House
committees before the holiday recess. The
appropriations committee has emulated his
business-like promptitude, and the subcom-
mittee on Distric: appropriations has been
notably active. The report Of a regular ap-
preparation bill before the holiday adjourn
ment is an occurrence Of exceeding rarity.
The District is indebted especially to Mr.. Nc
Comas and its other good friends on the appro-
priations subcommittee for an early start in the
race for appropriations. The good results of
this industry indicate that even with the
present arrangement Of Congressional terms
and holiday recess, it is not necessary to abso-
lutely waste all the days of the session before
the holidays because the recess is so near.

ceive its great mystic lesson of faith and charity
1t is not merely charity to give material bene-

There are to be two investigations Of civil
service reform-one by the reform league;
another, az proposed, by committee Of the
House. The fight may go on over methods and
personal faithfulness in the enforcement of
the Law, but one thing is well established-the
spoils system will not be restored The people
have condemned it, and it is already only an
unfragrant memory.
