The Missouri Legislature

The public health was pret-
ty good Throughout the year 1894:
but as with writer facetious turn
puts it, good health was largely

publican legislature of Michigan,

publican legislature of Michigan,
gave his friends in Congress much
personal pleasure, but when view
ed from a strictly party point of
view, the gap his departure from
the House will leave in the front
rank of the heaviest fighters, is not
specially pleasing to Republicans,
although there are plenty of men
more than anxious to take his
place.
The retirement of Representa-
tive Burrows from the House will
leave the contest for the Chairman
ship of the Ways and Means COM
mittee between the great States of
New York and Pennsylvania. 1t
is CT stomary, but not obligatory,
for the Speaker of the House to
name as the chairman of that i'm
portant committee. the senior
member of his party on that com
mittee. The custom was ignored
by the present Speakerwho jumped
Mr.. Wilson over the head of Mr..
Springer and made him chairman.
If speaker Reed follows the custom,
Representative Payne, of New
York. will be chairman of the com
mittee. if he desired to be: but
somehow the impression is strong
among republicans in the House
that Representative Dalzell, of Pa.
who is next to Mr.. Payne on the
committee. stands as good, if not
better chance to become its chair.
man. 1t would be highly improper
for either of these gentleman to at
tempt to influence the choice O
the Speaker, but their colleagues
are free to do what they can il
that direction, and the good-na
tured rivalry between he States
to secure the chairmanship prom
ises to be interesting to everybody
except Mr.. Reed, who will hav'
to decide.
Overtures have been made b,
friends of the administration to re
publican Senators, to ascertain hOv
much support can be obtained OF
the republican side of the Senat
for the attempt to kill the incom

very few of them will vote to with
