ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Crawford Fa-
vored as Plumb's suceessor-The Ohio
Senatorial Fight Growing Warm.

NHEaQE AEEetEa
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 24.-Mr. Watterson
says ~eaitorially in The Courier-Journal
in regard to Speaker Crisp's selection of
the committees:
Naturally the reconstruction Of the ways
and means committee m~onopolizes public
attention and interest. Thes selection OF
Mr.. Springer for chairman would not be a
happy one Il there was nothing back Of it.
But with the incidents Of the caucus fresh
in the minds of the people it is positively
unfortunate, exposing both the speaker
and the chairman to whatever the ilI-dis.
posed see fit to say about them, and thus
giving the u of tariff reform a black
eye on the threshold of a presidential cam
raign.
Of the possible bearing of the national
affairs outside of congress Mr.. Waiter
son says:
We shall not believe until we, know
more tha we now know that this recon
struction of the ways and means commit
tee has been made with the purpose to be-
little and subordinate the great cause Of
tariff reform by intrusting it to inexper-
fenced or inferior hands. We have thus far
relied upon the assurances of Mr.. Crisp
on that point. But if it should turn out
that these have been carefully framed to
mislead, and that the extraordinary dis
closures of the current week point, as
has been so often intimated, to a deal Of
the regulation New York pattern, be-
tween the new speaker and his immediate
hackers, and Mr.. Hill and his immediate
hackers, by which Democratic principles
are to be sacrificed to q congressional and
presidential bargain, then indeed will the
hosts of Democracy rise in their might.
Mr.. Crisp should from this time forward
keep before his eyes the awful spectre of
keifer, and if he has any hope of a pros
porous and honorable future should steer
clear of New York breakers.

Antipxrine Proscribed.

BERLIN, Jan. 5.-One of the most ex.

dangers of unprofessional admi1listra-

without much effect. 1t is now
announced by various doctors Of I'M
questionable reputation that several
deaths have occurred which to their

"A Large-sized Incfde
A big tramp made a big mistake the
other day at Wiscasset, says a Maine
exchange. He entered a school house
there where a little miss Of the genuine
Yankee stamp presided. There was a
moment OF alarm, for the school house
was upon a bleak hillside far from
neighbors. The tramp approached the
teachers desk, evidently liking the
looks OF her watch. The spunky little
schoolma'am came at him like a hor-
net and buzZed around him with her
whip, dealing v%iciously singing strokes
with the weapon. The tramp made a
few vain efforts to advance Or to catch
his nimble antagonist; then, blinded
and maddened by the flying whip, he
turned and streaked it out of doors and
down the hill. He stood afar off and
shouted ugly epithets at his vanquisher.
but kept away from the whip.

from a trip that extended into Texas.
En- route he conferred with Mrs. Davis

that her friends refrain from buying her

friendly interest in Mrs. Davis, and she
advertises that purchases at present are
hardship rather than a benefit to her.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--The supreme

BOYD is A CITIZEN.


The Nebraska Go~vernorship as Viewed L1
the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The decision OF
the supreme court Of the United States
is that James E. Boyd is no alien, wa
not IT alien at the time Of his election,
and was duly qualified and elected gov
of Nebraska in 1890.
The decision has not yet been handed
down, but the result of the courts con-
f%erences has leaked out.
The case of Boyd against Thayer pre-
sented several unargued points. The
first was whether the final construction
of a contract was not simply a ratitica-
ton ola contract existing, and whether
as such in its effect it was not retro
active; if so, whether naturalization
was not a contract with the prospective
citizen.
The second was whether the Nebraska
enabling act, peculiar in its verbiage,
and unusually liberal in its terms, did
not carry into the citizenship of the
United States all persons then citizens
of the territory.
The court by a vote of six to three de-
cides airmatively on both points, two
Republicans and one Democratic dissent,
but Chief Justice Fuller will hand down
the decision probably on Monday.

wantonly SANDER good men. lfthe
men who belitlled Kansas senator
