SENATE COMMITTEES.
The Republicans Nearly Made
Up-DeniOcratic Caucus.


WASHINGTON y: c., Dec 14.-The re-
publican senatorial caucus committee
charged with the arrangement of the
republican representation upon the SEN
ate committees completed its work this
lnorning and reported to caucus which
was called together before the senate
met.
rhe caucus considere the list submit
ted and adjourned to meet tomorrow
morning without action upon the report.
As nearly as can be gathered from the
expressions of many senator's. the as
signmcntS made by the committee are
generally satisfactory. 1t was found
nnpracticable to meet all OF the expecta-
tious of the new senator's, but the dissat
istaction that exists is believed to be
confined to less than half dozen sena-
tors. Saunders and Powers, of Mon
tana, wished to be assigned to the COM
mttees on appropriations and finance,
but the committee was unable to COM
ply with their requests in that respect.
The committee, however, assigned
Senator Cullom to vacancy on the ap'
preparation committee, thus giving great
satisfaction to the Worlds fair people,
and to meet the request of the Pacific
coast senators that they be given repre-.
sentation ON that important committee,
added one to its membership and as.
signed Senator Stewart to the new place.
Caucus adjourned this morning.
The democratic senator's viii hold a
caucus this afternoon for the purpose OF
arranging their own representation upon
the committees.

CRISP COMMENT.

The gentlemen who are calling Speaker
Crisp an out-and-out free coinage man
convict themselves of woeful ignorance
A very recent speech Of MIR. Crisp shows
that he does not entertain such views,
but recognizes that the tariff is the issue
next year.-Milwaukee Journal.
As an indication of action by the ma.
jority in congress on the tariff question
it means nothing. Mills is an extremist
it is true. but Judge Crisp voted for the
bill of which Mills was the author ir
the filtieth congress, and his speeches il
Ohio in the recent campaign showed him
to be radical revenue tariff man
Cleveland Leader.
The western democracy, which did not
support him in candidacy, will neverthe
less give MIR. Crisp the fullest and faires
show in the world; but it will insist, al
it has Insisted for years, that the tarii
must be reformed and that economy b
exercised in the public expenditures,-In
dianapolis Sentinel.
1t is possible that the democrats nigh
have done as well bv the election O
some other man than Crisp to the speak
ership, but it is clear that they could no
have done better and might have don
much worse.-Philadelphia Times.
The general feeling is that the choice
a good one. Judge Crisp will make a
ideal speaker, clear-headed, even ten
pered and courteous Cleveland Plai
Dealer.
The democratic party presents unite

wise selection for speaker of the preser

Jerry's Latest Speech.

New York, March 16.-An Annapolis
special says:
Representative Jerry Simpson created
a sensation yesterday afternoon among
the Maryland farmers now in con-
ventiOn here when he interrupted the
proceedings to deny the statement that
he did not wear half hose. A reporter
precipitated the explanation by sending
a note to the Kansas representative at
his hotel asking him to affirm or deny
the report regarding his footwear. The
note said: do you wear socks?"
After waiting some time for an an
swer, the reporter went to the conven-
ton hall. In short time Mr.. Simpson
rushed into the hall with his hat and
Overcoat over his arm and demanded
immediate recognition. He then
handed to the secretary the note that
had been left for him, which, upon be-
ing read, caused smile to play over
the faces of the farmers, and all eyes
were upon Mr.. Simpson, who, tossing
his coat aside, faced the audience and
said:
Mr.. President: This letter refers to
me and | wish TO make an explanation.
1t has been alleged that certain time
in Kansas | had said that the poverty
OF the farmers was so great that they
could not afford to wear socks and that
was living example. So far as l am
concerned there is no truth in the story.
The statement originated in the brain
of republican Kansas editor. Ny con-
Stituents know all about me ana | took
no occasion to deny the charge. 1t is
true that owing TO the higher tariff
some of the farmers could not afford 10
wear socks and we were in the same po-
sitiOn as Napoleon when he attempted
to arrest the attack of the Austrian en-
envy. He was without arms and when
asked where he thought he could get
them said: Take them from the Aus
trians"
The man who was against me was of
the silk stocking aristocracy, better
known as Prince Hal. At the time of
the election | told my people that | ex-
pecued to get the other fellows socks,
AID not only did get them but [ got
his shoes as well. want to say that |
do now wear socks and put them on
after the defeat of Ingalls, which l be-
lieve was the beginning OF an era that
marked the time when the humblest
people can wear socks and the people
who sustain the government, some OF
whom are my constituents, should wear
the very best. deem it he cessary to
explain to the people of Maryland the
much veXed question of socks. Just
now | am unable to determine which
has given me the greater reputation,
my feet or my head. This speech was
greeted with tumultuous applause, after
which the business Of the convention
went ON as hefOrn

tered a Huntington avenue car. The &C.
cupants of the car ceased conversing and
gazed with look of wondering admira-

was completely overcome, and so great
was his establishment that,he neglected to
give the necessary two bells for so long a
time that an uusympathetic time is money
individual arose from his seal and give the
bell-strap two vigorous jerks.
The two young gentlemen who had
caused this commOtiOn took seats directly
opposite couple of charming young Ia
d es. whose closely fitting Redfern tailor
made suits prove them TO be true Bostoni-
ans. 1t was very evident that the two
young swells were supremacy happy
Their dress was perfection from their No.

enough to suit the most fastidious. and
their coats and waistcoats-well, they

fully expected that one of them would
pull out handful of gold from his
pocket. for they looked so duCedly well

appointed, for after much fussing a nickle
and i've COppcrs were produced and hand
ed over. and it WAS here that a rather
amusing incident occurred.
In c nseqUenCe of the exertion neces-
sary in finding his fare. one Of the swells
dropped his cane. He stopped TO pick il
up 1t was no use. The balmy nature of
the day had evidently induced him to take
an extra pull Oh his harness, and he was
laced up so tight that he could not get

of the young ladies who set opposite was
quick TO appreciate the situation, and with
an easy grsCe picked up the cane. and
