NAMING THE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Crisp has made up his COM
mittees with fine judgment. The
North gets fewer committee chair
manships than the South, but more i'm
portant ones. The friction which made
1t difficult to place Mills at tho head Of
the ways and means committee was
mitigated by giving him place where
no can do splendid work-the chairman
ship OF the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee.
Mr.. Springer is in fact moro suitable
for the Craftsmanship of the ways and
means, for he has cooler head, Is more
patient and will not attempt to formu-
late general tariff bill when its pas
sage is rank impossibility
Virginia gets two chairmanships,
O'Ferrall. elections, and Edmonds, ex.
penditures in the Agricultural Depart
ment. That both will be ably filled
goes without saying. If anything is to
be done in regard to remedying tho
election laws, O'Ferrall will do it this
time, and not Lodge, of Massachusetts,
or Rowell, of Illinois.
One Of the most important moves
which will be undertaken by the House
will be the investigation of the Pen
sion Bureau. The expenditure for
pensions already exceeds the cost of
the costliest army in Europe, and evil
dence accumulates that the pension at.
torneys are working the bureau for all
1T is worth. Retrenchment is to be the
Keynote of the Democratic House.

THE SUGAR BEET.

THE TIMES publishes elsewhere a
brief article on sugar beet culture in
Southwest Virginia. II a beet sugar
factory could be established at Roanoke
or any suitable location in Southwest
Virginia, its influence on the farming
community would be speedily felt. The
profits of sugar beet crop per acre are
double those of a wheat crop. Double
the value OF crop and you double the
value Of the land.
The sugar beet Is wonderful plant.
1t now supplies nearly half the sugar
used in the world, and its saccharine
properties have been increased by sede-
tfon from eight per cent. to nearly
twelve in twenty years. while selected
crops run as high as sixteen per cont.
Sugar is already nearly as cheap as
flour under the operations of reciproc IL
free trade and the Government bounty.
Good sugar may be had for four cents a
pound, while first grade flour is worth
IA cents pound. Yet there will be
more money in raising beets for sugar
than in wheat, by 100 per cent.

In THE reception accorded the young
Emperor of Germany, upon his entry
into England on Saturday, there was
very much of the ceremonial, brilliancy
and show Of the olden times. Indeed ac-
cording to all accounts no royal progress
in modern times has been so SNOWY or
brilliant. Wales and William kissed and
embraced, but if we are to believe all
that is whispered, there is not personal
affection of a very deep character between
them. That William considers himself
privileged to comment upon the Prince is
true, if the story is verify that he has
fatty objected to Lady Brooke as a pro-
posed guest at the garden-party rendered
him by the Prince. This is little else
than an affront, and it is said that the
Prince feels it to be such. OF course the
interposition of such an objection would
amount to direct imputation upon Lady
Brooke, and be besides contemptuous of
the host. Common politeness teaches
that the host has entire freedom to choose
his guests, and that any interference with
it by one of them is very near if not di-
rect impudence. We are, therefore, dis
inclined to believe the telegraphed story.
Arrogant as he is, the German Emperor
would scarcely venture TO insult his host
by asking him to expose the list of guests
60. L.

The Itata has returned to American
waters under arrest by the United States
steamer Charleston. 1t appears that the
American fleet had orders to seize every
Chilean insurgent ship, and to blockade
all insurgent ports, if refusal was made
to surrender the Itata. The revolution
lists were discreet, and turned over the
ship and its cargo without murmur.
and the vessel with her original crew and
command is once more at her San Diego
anchorage. The question will now arise.
what shall be done with her? pr That
her crew will be prosecuted is scarcely
probable. They Were under command
and obeyed; as to the ships officers, the
chief is German subject, the second in
command a New Granadan we believe.
That these will be very diligently fol-
lowed is scarcely probable; nor indeed is
1t necessary TO pursue them sharply.
The United States has defended the neu-
trality laws successfully, and against the
manifest drift Of the sympathies of the
people. She has pursued and returned
the ship that infringed, and with her con-
fiscation the case may well be dropped.
The arms she carried it is
thought by some may cause a more
intricate question to arise. They were
transferred to the itata upon the high
seas, and hence It is held the nautralitv
jurisdiction of the United States was not
invaded. But they were taken from an
American bottom and were shipped from
an American port. Moreover, they have
been surrendered without protest 1t is
probable, therefore, that they will follow
the fate of the ship, though there may be
aquestion whether we have strictly the
right TO confiscate them. This, however,
cannot come up without claimant COM
ing forward, and there is none at present
in view. The American people at heart
regret that the arms were diverted from
their purpose, for Balmaceda has few
sympathizers in the United States, and
his recent cruel policy has engendered
hatred of the man. But the maintenance
of the neutrality laws is of vastly greater
importance to this nation than the indul-
gence Of our sympathies.

1T is reported by telegraph that a
plucky American girl in Paris. Miss
Stevenson, has cowed French Baron
by challenging him to fight her with
pistols. This young lady happens to be
wealthy and beautiful, and tourist in
Europe. The Baron saw fit to look upon
her as tuft hunter, and so said that she
was seeking to buy title-that at least
was the purport of the levity in which he
indulged. Thereupon this American
girl challenges the Baron, and he grovels
in the dust of an apology, ample and
cringing, for he admits that he used
word justifying her wrath, but disclaims
having done SO purposely. Unquestion-
ably Europeans have had justification
in considering American girls abroad to
be title hunters, because so many of them
have married Indifferent men who hap
pened to be titled. Yet there have been
titled men won genuinely by American
women, where no mercenary element en-
tered in, and true affection was
the sole motive. But Miss Stevenson
has demonstrated that not all American
women abroad are advertising exchange
of fortune for title. Her action will tend
to make the club-men of Europe more
discreet in their utterances concerning
the purpose of the American girl.

OPINION IN ENGLAND.

The Prince of Wales is now, probably,
rejecting seriously, and to his benefit.
BE is grandfather and old enough to
consider that his position demands that
he lift himself above such scandals as that
with which his name has recently been
SO prominently connected. For there
can be no denying that the baccarat
affair has greatly disturbed the English
people-unduly so, perhaps, for they
knew that the nobility gambled and
quarreled, and probably in some cases
lied about their doings also. Neverthe-
less all England is stirred up, and the

The free coinage advocates excite ad-
miration for their persistency. Though
the country is steadily turning against
them they continue to preach their
dogmas and pretend to expect the next
Congress to confirm it. The hope for
greater prosperity is awake in every
breast at all times, and the people who
think that flood of cheap money will

appear to deliberately close their eyes to
the fact that cheap money is cheap
relatively only. Compared with gold the
silver that is freely coined takes the
cheaper place, and no laws that Congress
can pass will affect the condition. A coin
in silver is worth precisely its silver
value in gold and no more.

IT is reported from Rome that the com

Cahensley memorial have made pro-
found impression at the Vatican. AS
about all these commentaries were of one
voice, and treated the memorial as impu-

the institutions of the United States, it is
gratifying to learn that they have at
tracted the attention OF the Pope, and are
exercising a potential influence in the

class doctrine has received 9 shockl such
as 1t has not before experienced.
The noon-time blaze of publicity is a
thousand fold greater to-day than in the
times of Henry VIII. and Charles III.
What the royal mantle then covered it
cannot now conceal. Kings and Princes
live in fierce light of criticism now that
IS fearless, save in one or two nations.
The order is no more made, "off with his
head" The peasant may to-day point
his finger and cry, "fool," and the King
must per force smile and bear it. There is
no help for these people in the royal
prerogative, and when Wales comes to the
throne he will find it so. He will really
have less power to punish his critics than
thousand humber members of Eng
lands political system. He has found
already that Englishmen do not care so
much about mobiles gambling, nor in
dulging in the intrigues of love and
the tricks of politics; but they do
care great deal for their own honor, and
whoever has 1t in keeping must look well
to his trust. The Prince of Wales is such
trustee, and hence the severe critism to
which he has been recently subjected.
But back of all this is the sentiment taxi
ing root, and firmly, too, exposed in the
inquiry: "Why have Princes?" 1t is
that self-inquisition which has been
quickened among Englishmen by this
baccarat scandal, and in that introspec-
ton lies the danger, be it great or small,
to the permanency of the English aris-
tocracy.
But, after all, compared with the doings
of some of the Princes of England, and
some of the Kings and Queens of the
realm, this affair of Albert Edward is
milkand-water thing, and it is because
so trivial a matter thus stirs the British
public as the notes of the English press
disclose, that the belief is justified that
England is not far distant from the time
when the traditional hold of a titled aris-
tocracy will be broken; not rudely, per-
haps, but surely and for all time.
The loyalty of the English to the aris-
tocratic system is something wonderful;
it will not be dispossessed by any single
incident, but the growth of liberal senti-
ment; the enlargement of the idea that
all government springs from the consent
of the governed; the discovery of the fact
that no longer can any coercive measures
be employed to compel obedience to the
arbitrary will of an official holding bv
hereditary claim; the amazing fact that
the prospective ruler of three hundred
millions of people is compelled by force
of public opinion to apologize, in effect,
to them. All these things indicate that
among the English-speaking people the
power of Kings and Princes is declining.
the fear Of titled potentates is departing,
and the traditions of loyalty to a mon
archical system are growing weak.

A Sermon on the Flood.

A celebrated Scotch preacher, in his

the taunts of boys as among the severest

gagged on q ship-building enterprise for
which there seemed no immediate occa-

finger on it. And so, when Noah was
