CRISE'S C.IBINET.

New York World (dem.): The house COM
mttees as made UP by Mr.. Crisp will be on
the whole fairly satisfactory to the demo-
cratic party in and out OF congress.
st. Louis Republic (dem.) Boss German
has organized all the house committees ex-
cept the committee Of the whole. The demo-
cratic party will have something to say in
that.
Washington Post lind. rep.): When all
OF the circumstances are taken into consid-
Grafton, aud all personal ambitions eliminated,
it must be conceded that the new speaker has
done remarkably well.
New York Tribune rep: Speaker Crisp
had = ba job on his hands,, and has chosen
to get through with it AS quickly as possible.
OF the re suit it may perhaps be- trGthfully
said that 1t was no worse than was expected.
st. LOUIS Globe Democrat (rep.): Mr..
Crisp's theory of the distribution of patron
age is that to the speaker belongs the spoils,
for tho payment OF his political debts and the
qualification OF his personal spites and preju-
dices.
Denver Sun (rep.): The appointments
signify the advancement OF the Hill in
ttuence. 1t signals the return of tho demo-
cratic party to It's old position of equivoca-
ton, elusiveness and indeiuiteness on the
tariff question.
Detroit Free Press (dem.(: On the whole
Mr.. Crisp has made what any fair critic will
say Is an excellent committee list, though, as
was perhaps to be expected, he has leaned
toward the members to whom he was in
debted for his nomination in the caucus.
New York MoEhiIg Advertiser (dem.): It
is sufficiently evident that the speaker made
up the committees largely as no hims elf
wanted them and without undue pressure or
assistance from qlitSioe. or course the com
mittees are the VeEy pest that could be Sc
lected"--they always are.
Kansas City Star nnd. dem.): If the
working politicians of the democratic party
have been persuaded by recent successes
that they can resert to their old methods
and ride rough,Shod over the army of re-
formers, they ate digging a grave for the
democratic party,sO deep that resurrection
Will be out of thGqHestion.
Boston Globe dem A radical departure
from precedent han been taken by the speak
or of the national House of representatives
in making up Ms committee appointments.
New congressman receive a much larger
share of hopors aud responsibilities than il
has oaon customary to allot thom under the
regime of MIR. Crlsp's predecessors.
New York Sun tdem.); The committees
announced yesterday by speaker Crisp will,
we think. meet the approval of the country.
They are, on the whole, composed with
judgment as well as Independence. If thoy
work well and turn out no mischievous legis.
lation, who will compIain of themt We
thank the speaker for putting Mr.. Holman in
the right place.
New York Recorder ,(repJ; Fortunately
1t Is beyond the reaCh of the hostile repreSen-
tatiyeS TO interfere with tho enlargement of
our commercial relations to American ad
vantage through the exercise OF the treaty
power, which Is subject only TO the inquiry
Of the senate. The performances of the
Five Cent Congress Will not Oe worth u
picayune, even TO the democratic party.
New York Times (in1. DEM On the
judgment or fairness of the p'aker in the
Distribution Of the hoHors involved in tho ap.
poiutments 10 committees, our readers can
form their owa opinion on the careful aualN
sis nj the facts given IN our Washington dis
patches. They will hardly regard his course
