In the composition OF the house COM
mites Speaker Reed has probably
done as well as any other man in his
place could have done, In selecting
ehsirmen he has. taken men OF ability
and experience. To his three colleagues
from Maine he has given very import
ant chalrmanships, He could not have
done less without discriminating
against the men because they were
from his own state. They were in line
OF promotion because their state has
kept them in the house long enough TO
make their way to the front.
Mr.. Dingley is well equipped for the
Craftsmanship OF the ways and means
committee. So far as the country
knows there is not a better TAI In the
house to head this committee. Mr.. Bou-
telle. chairman OF the naval committee,
Is in thorough accord with the idea of
strengthening our navy. Indeed he has
been one OF the foremost champions Of
that patriotic policy, He has served
long on the naval committee. has before
been chairman, understands It's busl-
ness and will throw into Its work an in
telilgent enthusiasm that should count.
Everybody expected Mr.. Hit to be
placed at the head OF the committee on
foreign affairs, another committee
which has now unusual Importance.
The speaker has done well to select for
this position so well furnished and SO
clear headed a mar as Mr.. Hit.
Mr.. Canon Is an old hand on the APP
preparations committee, has a mind for
details. is honest and courageous. cour-
age is not a bad quality In the chair
man OF the appropriations committee,
for sometimes 1t is necessary for the
committee to face strong opposition
after 1t has made up It's bill.
We had hoped that the speaker might
put at the head OF the committee on riv-
ers and harbors a mar who would have
knowledge OF our interior waterways
and be in sympathy with their i'm
provement. preferably a man from this
great valley. He has not done this, but
he eeems to have given fair representa-
tlou TO the region which demands river
Improvement, and this. OF course, is as
much as we could ask.
The makeup OF the committees which
have to do with the currency question
Is satisfactory so far as we know the
men. It was not to be expected that
Speaker Reed would give encourage
ment to any financial tomfoolery.
on the whole. II the speaker has made
up his committees with his presidential
aspirations in view. he must have
thought that the best way to advance
his own cause was to be fair to the
members Of the house and mindful OF
the public interests.

Mr.. ELKIHs' VIEWS,
How lie Regards The Venezuela Matter
aud the Presidents Message,

AH1NN
aud the Presidents Message
Washington special In Brooklyn Ea-
gle; Senator Stephen b. Elkins, OF
West Virginia, who occupies a leading
position IN the councils OF his party de-
iivered himself at length 10 the Eagle
correspondent this morning:
There is," he said, mo question OF
doubt IN my mind. that the American
people are with the President In the
matter. For o long time there has been
a feeling OF unrest and dissatisfaction
In this country against England and her
methods OF dealing with all Internal
tIonal matters that have come un be-
tween the two countries. BY trickery
and bad practice she has got the best OF
us In q number OF important matters,
like the dispute yer the seals. These
things have ranked In the hearts OF
Americans and caused our people TO
view the encaochment OF England with
suspicion. Then again Lord Sails.
bury's bullying, dictatortal conduct ana
avowed hatred of the United States has
added fuel TO the smouIdering IRE that
only needed q spark to start II blazing
President Cleveland has applied the
torch and he has done II In q very patri-
otic manner | very much wish, how.
ever, that he had come out tiat-footed
and said England has gone too far al
ready. II must recede or fight.
There was no necessity for the np-
polntment OF n commission to investi-
gate the situation. The department OF
state has already doHe that. The Hug-
gestion Of a commission looks too much
as II the President had a string attach
cd to his warllke message. Then, again,
his statement II Venezuela and Great
Britain come TO a mutually satisfactory
agreement such an agreement would
be accepted by our government was a
mistake. Certainly we would not agree
to England's purchasing Cuba from
Spain and setting up her authority over
this Island. nor, II seems 10 me, any
more should we agree beforehand TO any
settlement that Venezuela might make
with England In this matter. What Is
TO prevent England from settling with
Venezuela by paying her n large sum OF
money and getting what she (Englnnd)
wants In this way? The fact OF the
matter Is, this country is aroused over
the situation unnecessarily. There Is
no immediate danger OF war, for II Will
probably be six months or a year be-
fore this commission can make It's re-
port md that report acted upon, Never
thelcss, the situation is a grave one, and
Is made particularly so because the
earl OF Salisbury is the kind OF q man l
depicted, q hater OF this country ana a
bully, and has with him in his senti-
ments, | believe. u majority OF his coun-
trymen. II Salisbury had been premier
OF England at the time OF our rebellion
he would have recognized the south as
b%elllgerents, II seems TO me the most
interesting question for us 10 consider
at this time is the relative strength OF
the navies OF the two countries, for II
we fight England now II will be n naval
war, and there Is q possibility OF the
other European nations Joining with
England in preventing an enforcement
OF the Monroe doctrine"

Where Is the Country's Representative !
The New York Herald says that Am
bassador Bnyard lis the Presidents
representative at the court OF St.
James" He was sent there to be the
country's representative. Mr.. Blount
went to Hawaii as the Presidents per-
sonal representative, and between them
they made a mess OF II,
Mr.. BRyard and the Herald seem to
agree. but this hardly settles the ques-
tlon OF the nature Of the representation.
II the country Is not represented at the
court OF 81. James It should make haste
to be represented. We have not broken
on diplomatic relations with Great
Britain. Her embassy is still in Wash
ington.
II ever we needed a diplomatic rep
resentative in London we need one
now. The PRESIDENTS representative
does not all the bill. Mr.. BNyard might
as well beln London as the representa-
tive of the mayor OF Wilmington, Della
ware.

The New York Evening Post has been

himself as the greatest international
anarchist OF modern times"
