Next House Committees.

The House Committees which are expected
to be OF the greatest Importance in the next
Congress are those on Ways and Means Appro-
priations, Rules, Banking and Currency, Coin
age Weights and Measures, Rivers and Har-
bors, and Public Buildings and Grounds.
The Republicans at present have six of the
IL members of the Committee on Rivers and
Harbors, and all their members have been re-
elected except Henderson, of Illinois. With
Henderson out of the way, Hermann, of Ore
gon, takes first place in the Republican men,
bership of the Committee, with Stephenson, of
Michigan; Hooker, of New York; Grosvenor
of Ohio; and Reyburn, Of Pennsylvania, fol-
lowing in the order named.
Mr.. Millikep, of Maine, heads the Repub-
lican membership of the Committee on Public
Buildings, and the chances are that if Mr.
Reed becomes Speaker Mr.. Millikcn will be
Chairman of this Committee. Mr.. Morse, of
Massachusetts,, is the only other Republican
member of the Committee returned.
Only three OF the old Republican members
of the Committee on Banking and Currency
reelected. They arc Messrs. Walker, of
Massachusetts; Russell. Of Connecticut; John
son, Of Indiana.
OF the six present Republican members of
the Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Meas
ures five have been reelected to the Fifty
fourth Congress. They are, in the order named,
Stone, of Pennsylvania; Johnson, of North
Dakota; Dingley, of Maine; Hager of Iowa;
Aldrich. Of Illinois. Mr.. Stone would natural
ly become Chairman of the Committee but il
is thought that Mr.. Reed, if he be elected
Speaker, will want Mr.. DingIey as leader, for
personal reasons.
Hon. J. G. Burrows, of Michigan, will become
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,
with Mr. Reed in the Speakers Chair and
there is little doubt that he will be given this
important post. which carries with it the Re-
publican leadership on the floor of the House.

Public Spirit in Japan.

Among the reasons for the almost unin-
terrupted success Of Japan in prosecuting
the present war with China is the spirit OF
sacrifice and generosity exhibited by her
people. Voluntary contributions amounting
almost to S15,000O00 have been received by
the Government. The Bank of the Nobility,
which has given S1,000,000 outright, has
also placed $15,OO0,000, interest free, at the
disposal of the authorities. The nobiemen
and wealthy merchants have been most
patriotic, and number of them have con-
tributed more than 100000 each. Public
spirit in China with reference to the unfortu-
nate conflict presents melancholy contrast.
