HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Crisp's committees have been
announced, and the country generally
will approve of mis- selectiops.-Nash-
vile American.
No surprises are contained in the
committee appointments announced by
Speaker Crisp. He has met public ex-
pectation.-Albany Argus.
Speaker Crisp's announcement of
committees has disappointed two Dem
ocrats, Springer, of Illinois, and Hol-
man, of Indiana. But it is vast i'm
ovement.-Cincinnat Tribune.
On the whole the selections are adj
mirably made, and Springer at the head
of the committee on banking and cur
rency wilt prove the man for the place,
as he has whenever called to public
Free Press.
Taken as whole, and with the ey-
ception of the mistake made in not put
ting Mr.. Holman at the head of the aD-
preparations committee, Speaker Crisp
has done we'll IN his makeup of the
committees.-Terre Haute Gazette.
The list Of committees made up by
Speaker Crisp is one that can be gener-
ally commended. In its main points it
is most excellent, and corrects some of
the very bad errors made by the speaker

Changes as radical as the speaker has
made are apt to produce temporary frie-
ton. This has been the experience al
ways in the past, and no exception to
the rule Is expected now. TO satisfy
every one is hopeless task.-W ashing =
ton Post.
Whether Mr.. Crisp has violated per-
senal faith and gone back on honorable
obligations we must leave for his party
people to determine. But he has GER
tainly disregarded parliamentary GUS
tom and the unWritten law Of the house.

Can it be that Speaker Crisp had any
sinister purpose in appointing Judge
Holman as chairman of the Indian af-
fairs committee? Does he >expect, by
starving the few Indians remaining, to
settle forever the Indian question:
Cincinnati Commercial-GaZette.
The selections are fairly well made.
Springer. of Illinois, has been displaced
from the head of the ways and means
committee, aud that great position has
been assigned to Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, a man much better qualified
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
On the whole the speaker has per-
formed the work well, although he can

some of his assignments, and there are
probably more eases than usual Of in
dividual disappointment on the part of
prominent members Rochester Herald.
1t is perhaps quite unnecessary to say
that the South receives most liberal
treatment IN the distribution of the
committee chalrmanships, and it will
certainly not be the fault of Speaker
Crisp if that section does not dominate
the legislation of the present congress-
Omaha Bee.
The increase in membership of sew
eraI of the more important committees
has enabled the speaker to give places
on them to new men. In this way it be-
came possible to change their complex
ion, where thought desirable. without
dropping former MISUNDERSTANDING
Plain Dealer.
The South has thirty-two of the fifty
five committees, but as that section
elects both the president and the ma
jority in congress this is right. The
Democratic party is governed by the
South as much as any time IN its history
and the committees reflect this fact
