My PERPLEN ME REED

1t is suggested that Mr.. Reed may
find the task of making up the commit
tees of the house more than ordinarily
%perpleXing, owing to the large number
of new republican members. many of
whom. it is said, will demand conspic-
uous recognition. The new house con
tains 2l4 republican members. of whom
40 are new, and the latter are reported
to be getting restless because in all the
gossip and talk regarding the organi-
cation of the house and the appoint
mept of committee chairmen the new
members do not seem to be considered.
Some of these are said to have been
consulting together with II view of de-
manding recognition and have preached
the suggestion that if Mr.. Reed pro-
poses to follow tradition in forming the
committees and naming the chairmen
they may put forward a candidate for
speakership against him. This may be
mere idle rumor and yet there is moth
ing inherently incredible about it, but
in any event Mr.. Reed may be de-
pended upon to manage the work that
will devolve upon him SO that the least
possible dissatisfaction shall result.
That he will not be able to satisfy
everybody is, of course, n foregone con
clusion. All the members of the house
will have committee places. but it is
not to be expected that all will be
pleased with their assignments. while
the preference of some for the more
desirable positions will undoubtedly
displease others. But whatever perplcX-
tiles Mr.. Reed may experience in per-
forming the task. il is safe to say that
when completed it will he pretty gen
orally approved.
AS to the idea, if it be entertained. of
putting another republican against him
for the spcakership, it is manifcstly alb
surd. There will be N opposition to
Mr.. Reed, because there is no repub-
lican member of the new house who
could be induced to accept n fractional
nomination for speaker. Any one who
| should do so would almost certainly
thereby put an end to his political
standing as a republican, for the party
everywhere expects and desires the
election of Thomas Il. Reed. UndOubt-
eddy the republicans of the house, when
they assemble in caucus, will accord
him the exceptional compliment OF Il
nomination by reclamation.

II Ambassador Dayard takes the
trouble to keep himself Informed as to
American public opinion he has learned
that the portion Of his Edinburgh ad-
dress in which he denounced protection
N widely condemned in this country.
SO plain and direct an imputation
against the intelligence OF the Ameri-
can people, who in three successive
elections had declared their preference
for the protective policy, was something
more than IN improperly; it was, as
Senator Chandler Of New Hampshire
said, an outrage, for which the ambas-
sador ought to be recalled. at was n
downright partisan political speech"
said Mr.. Chandler. "No one represent
ing this government abroad is supposed
to indulge in partisan politics in the
country he is accredited TO. His course
is without precedent and il should not
go unrebuked." Even some of the more
candid OF the English newspapers ex-
pressed surprise at Mr.. Bayard's utter
ances. for no British ambassador
could make such an attack upon the
policy of a leading party in his country
and remain at his post. whether that
party was in power or not. Were Sir
Julian ~Pauncefote. the British ambassa-
dor at Washington. to denounce in a
public address a policy Of the liberal
party, there can be no doubt he would
be promptly recalled and probably per-
manently retired from the diplomatic
service. But whatever rebukc Mr.. Bay
ard suffers will come from the American
press and public. He will hear nothing
from the administration, which is un-
doubtedly in hearty sympathy with his
utterance. Mr.. Bayard will be per-
mitted to remain at his post during the
term Of Mr.. Cleveland, at the end of
which he will return to his country and
ever thereafter remain in political OBJ
security, to be remembered, so far as
his diplomatic career is concerned, as
an object worshiper at the shrine of
British free trade.

construction of the committees before
Legislation can be proceeded with. The
construction of the committees is not n
merely perfunctory act, limited to the
assignment of the new senators. IL Is
of the highest personal Importance to all
the senators and of great concern to
the people, for the reason that the char
acter Of legislation Is determined by
these subordinate bodies. R~eorganiza-
ton being Imperative, says the Ledger
correspondent. and the republican being
the dominant party, although lacking
three of a majority, the republicans will
be impelled to meet this question and to
insist that they shall be recognized as
the dominant party and given control
OF the leading committees. He urges
that they cannot evade nor shrink from
assuming the responsibility for legisla-
ton.
Some republican senators have ex-
pressed a like view, while others have
said that it would be unadvisable for
the republicans to enter into any ar
rangement or coalition looking to the
reorganization of the senate, but it
probably cannot be determined which
view will prevail until the republican
senators get together and consider the
question. We have thought that the
better policy would be to let the or
ganization remain in the control of the
democrats until the republicans OBJ
tanned a majority of the senate, thus
leaving the responsibility for legisla-
ton with the democrats. Perhaps, how
ever, from the political or party point
Of view it will make little difference
| which course is adopted.

TIE UNITED STATES SEriATM.

The republican party will come into
on March /, 1897, and Will probably haze
u majority in that body which will keep
it in control for some years. Last Tues
days elections insure republican sen
atOrs from Ohio and Maryland to sue
coed BriCe and Gibson, probably II re-
| publican successor to Hill from New
York, two republican senators from
Utah and possibly one from Kentucky.
The certain gains of the republicans
will be four, which added to their pres
ent strength, leaving out Dupont of Del
aware, whose election is contested, will
give them forty-SiX votes, or one ma
iority in a senate of ninety members,
the number it will contain when Utah
becomes Il state. With the seating of
Dupont, which is probable, ana the
election of republican senators from
New York and kentucky, there would
he Il republican majority in the senate
of four, which may be increased to five
by the vote of Senator Jones of Nevada
on all questions except the currency.
Republican dominance in the United
States Scnat after March /, 1897, is
therefore assured and by Il majority
that will undoubtedly enable the party
to retain control of the upper branch of
congress beyond the present century.
This is not the least important of the
results secured by the late elections.
An immediate matter of interest is
the question of reorganizing the senate
of the Fifty-fourth congress-. concern
ing which there has been some specula-
ton. The Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger, whose
familiarity with such matters makes
him an authority, says that whatever
arrangement is made, whether il be he
tween the republicans and the demo
Gratis or the republicans and the popu-
lists, the republicans will be obliged To
insist that their superior numbers shall
be recognized and that the leading COM

TROUBLE IN pONACUM,s DIOCESE.
Mgr. SatOIIi Clears Away Some of the
Misunde

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.-Mgr. Satolli sent
word today in response to inquiries that he
knew nothing Of the contentious in Bishop
Bonacum's Nebraska diocese and could give
no information which could clear up the mis-
understandings which have arisen.
From sources outside the delegation it was
learned that the disagreement between the
Nebraska priest and the delegation-the for
mer claiming that Mgr. Satolli has official
recognizance Of the subject and that the
latter stating that the delegation has no
cognizance or information-:s doubtless due
to the fact that each is referring to different
things. Some time ago there was trouble
between Bishop Bonacum and some of his
priests, at which time the priests appealed to
Washington. Mgr. Satolli's answer to them
in substance stated that the bishops action
was final except so far as the civil courts
affected it, the opinion here being that the
rulings of the court were just. These
troubles, it was supposed, were closed. Now
a new trouble has arisen as the result of an
ecclesiastical court at Lincoln, cOndemning
the priests to penance and other means of re-
pairing the difficulty. 1t is this last phase
of the trouble that has not reached the
delegation here and to which the officials here
refer, while the assertion Of the Nebraska
authorities that the delegation has acted re-
fers to the old contention.

Washington Post: Secretary Morton's sar-
