Speaker Crisp, it is said, has gone about
the making up of his committees in man
ner as methodical as an ex-.
pert accountant would employ in balan-
cling set of account books. The speaker
has compiled two little lists. Upon one
list is written every committee as it now
stands, together with the names of those
who were members of the last congress.
but have retired to private life. Upon
another list are the names of the new
congressman with annotations of how
they may be placed. Elsewhere are col
lected the requests which he has received
from members asking for assignment to
such and such work When these lists
are completed the speaker will sit down.
and with his son on one hand and his
clerk on the other dictate his commit
tees" Having systematized the work
the speaker is reported to be prosecuting
1t in frame of mind that leads him to
whistle ditties occasionally between nom
nations.

Senator Washburn has kindly promised
that he will not reintroduce his anti-op-
tons bill at the extra session; at least
until the repeal bill is out of the way.
However, he has not yet given up the idea
of forcing congress to give him and the
other -four millers of the northwest alb
solute control of the wheat crop by the
passage of an anti-options bill. He will re
vive the measure at the regular session,
right at the beginning of business, so that
the opposition will not have an opportuni-
ty to talk it to death, as was done before.
Senator Washburn and Congressman
(once Senator) Blair will probably never
grow old enough tolearn that the people
know what they do not want.

The Presidents Health.
From the IN. Y Tribune lRenN

The preservation OF the Presidents health is
of great Importance to the country, and Mr.
Cleveland has Obeyed a sense of duty in re-
turning to Gray Gables. He has frankly CON
fessed his WEAKNESS and need of repose, and
not even the emergency which has required
an extra session of congress could have justi-
peril OF his health. We sincerely hope that
he will rapidly regain his accustomed vigor
and we heartily commend his wisdom. as we
recognize his cOnscientiousness, in taking the
safest and surest course to recovery.

then to take vote. That time is more than
ample. The question has been fully discussed
from every standpoint by the press, and there
is. no member of either house Of congress who
can now throw any light on it. Five or six

its discussion in congress; but let us hope

From the New York Post Gnd)

No room whatever is left for doubt that re-
peal Of the purchase clause of the sherman
act will be carried by a good majority when
the roll is called a fortnight from next Mon
day. The advocates of repeal do well to al
low two weeks for debate. since the displays
which the free silver men will make in that
time must result in making their cause all the
more ridiculous and hopeless.

Mr. Exley, secretary of the Truck
Growers Association of Chatham county,
made striking statement to a MORNING
News reporter in the interview with him
published yesterday: He said: Il would
rather have ten acres of truck land in
Chatham county than 100 acres of the
best cotton land in any county in the
state" That is equivalent to saying that
truck farming in Chatham is regarded by
MIR. Exley who is an experienced planter
and knows what he is talking about, as
ten times as satisfactory as cotton farm
ing under the most advantageous circum-
stances. That the truck farms of Chatham
bring large returns is evidenced by the
fact that from them half a million dollars
worth of vegetables have already been
sold in the northern markets this year,
which amount of money has been put into
circulation here. And the fall crops are
yet to come.

CrittcisinR Mr.. cleveland.

The extreme republican papers are cri-
ticising Mr.. Cleveland for leaving
Washington for his summer home at Buz-
Yards Bay while the struggle over the
silver question is going on. 1t was to be
expected that these papers would find
fault with him. Nothing that he does
meets with their approval. Mr.. Cleve-
land gave very good reasons for leaving
Washington. He said that his health was
such that it was absolutely necessary for
him to have rest He could get norest
in Washington, because the Office seekers
would insist upon seeing him and urging
their claims for offices.
II is declared that without his aid and
influence it will be about impossible to
hold together those congressman who are
in favor of Internationally repeating the
purchase clause of the Sherman law in
accordance with the recommendation in
his message But what could he do to-
wards securing compliance with his
recommendation if he were to remain in
Washington He has stated his views,
and stated them strongly-so strongly, in
fact, that the great majority of the
uuAlhlllE llGn VI INC country agree WIN
him-and if he were in Washington he
could do nothing more than reiterate them
He would not attempt to influence sena-
tors and representatives by promises of
patronage. He could not do so, even if
he We're so disposed, without furnishing
those opposed to his position an effective
argument with which to defeat the I'M
conditional repeal of the purchase act of
the Sherman law.
Mr.. Cleveland has placed the response
bility for giving the country relief from
financial troubles where it belongs, viz:
upon congress. He has pointed out the
! distress that exists and suggested what
he believes to be the remedy. He has
done his duty, and it remains for the rep
resentatives of the people to do their duty.
If they choose to talk and scheme rather
than promptly do what the country asks,
the blame will rest upon them if they
plunge they country into still deeper dis
tress than that from which it is now suf-
ferinp

man admitted that his clients had been on

base hits, put outs, and things.
But they had been arrested at the

they were not guilty as charged,
because it takes FIVE innings TO make a
game Of base ball The plea was effec-
tive: the learned judge saw the point and
