SOME CONSOLATION FOR SPRINGER.
Two committees. in the composition Of which
much interest is felt. are the committees on Bank
Ing and Currency and Coinage Mr.. Bland has been
retained at the head of the latter as was sener-
ally expected and the appointment of Mr.. Springer
as chairman OF the former ought to console him
IN some degree for the loss of the Craftsmanship
Of WAYS and Means. inasmuch as It will probably
bring him within the focus of public attention
and interest for time at least, and his versatility
will help him to pose In an attractive ana interest
ing if not an effective manner. Inc committee has
undergone pretty complete reorganization. only
seven OF the fifteen members OF the former COM
mittee being members OF this Congress. and the
total membership having been increased to seven
teen The committee now stands follows:
Springer of Illinois: Sperry, of Connecticut: Cox.
of Tennessee; Cobb of Missouri: Culberson, OF
Texas: Ellis. of Kentucky; Cobb OF Alabama;
Warner. of New York: Johnson. OF ONO; Black, OF
Georgia and Hall, of Missouri, Democrats and

free-coinage men are Bland Epes. Stone, Allen.
Bankhead and Sweet The status of Messrs. Cof-
feen and Hager is undetermined, but both are
claimed by the free-coinagc men. They have also
claimed Mr.. Kilgore. Of Texas. He voted last
February against the motion which resulted IN
shelving the bill to repeal the so-called sherman
act but until that time he had been an active ad-
vocate of free silver. 1t will be observed that la
order to control a majority OF his committee Chair
man Bland will have TO obtain the votes of MessrS
Kgore. Coffeen and Iiager. and his ability to DO &c.
in case the Wilson bill shall be amended by the
Senate aud be thrown into conference i regarded
rather doubtful.
