Washington, July S.-The organization
If tbe leading committees of the next
uopse is still the all-absorbing topic in
aolf-ical circles, and in the opinion of
r,snv experienced politicians, the demo
or,ts are face to face with one of the
gravest situations that has confronted the
1,rtv since the close Of the civil war.
Inst what the republicans will do cannot
ror he determined Whether they will
10 forward with the democrats on the
Hreof reform or whether they will act as
obstructionists, remains to be seen. The
now House will have 256 members of whom
%, are republicans. This number will
ntitle them to more representation on
ne committees than they enjoyed in the
last congress. For instance, on the ways
anl means committee the republicans last
wear had but five members. They will
have at least six and, perhaps, seven on
This committee in the coming house.
Messrs. Reed, Burrows, Payne, Dalzell
and Hopkins of Illinois will probably re
maip on the committee. Representative
Gear of Iowa, who has been reelected.
Ddwho used to serve on the ways and
means. will probably be added. The
seventh man, ii the minority is increased
othat number, will, in all likelihood, be
Mr.. Grosyenor Of Ohio.
OLD TIMERS TO BE DEPOsED
It is confidently expected that Mr..
Crisp will depose Messrs. Springer and
Holman as committee chairmen, and give
heirplaces to men with more advanced
ideas. is believed that in his recent
conference with Mr.. Carlisle, the speaker
obtained a comprehensive understanding
Of Mr. Cleveland's pleasure about the
chairmauships, and that when he returns
to Washington the draft of the important
committees will have been completed
II Mr. Holman is left OFF the committee
on appropriations he will doubtless be
offered some minor craftsmanship, prob
ably that Of public lands, leaving Mr.
Sayers Of Texas, most industrious
member to engineer the appropriations.
The chairmanship of the ways and
means committee will doubtless go to Mr..
Wilson, of West Virginia, although Mr..
Turner of Georgia. is an available mem
Der Tor this important post. There are
those who assert that Mr.. Crispis not per-
sonally ysolicitous to advance Mr.. Turner,
because of his alleged lukewarm support in
MS first race for speaker, but the more
plausible reason for putting the Quitman
statesman aside is that the House would
hardly regard with favor, an organization
which would absorb for one state, the Of
tce of speaker and the Craftsmanship of
Le most potent committee in the body.
WHEN CONGRESS WILL GET TO WORK.

about the probable time it will take con
