The Eureka Economizer produces a heat

ence. Out of the 1856 members, 167 are
new men, or almost Al per cent of the
total membership. This circumstance
will add to the difficulty of making up
the committees in a satisfactory way, and
would be likely to cause serious embar-
rassment if there were a contest over the
speakership and that question were not
decided until the eve of the opening of
the session. But to all intents and pur-
poses the speakership was settled a year
ago, and Mr.. Reed has had plenty OF
time to gain information regarding the
new members that will aid him in as

the task of arranging the committees for

little difficulty.
