.t. 5eiay in the announcement OF the
u.r>c committees by the Car is an i'm
...siate result Of his presidential aspira-
..rs ID was expected that he would
f.,e had the House IN thorough working
order hy this time. but il is given out
,.-day that the committees will not be
.s Rules. until this day week. when the
House will adjourn for the holidays.
ono OF the reasons assigned for the de-
lav is that tho meeting OF the National
Republican Committee here this week,
completely upset whatever committee
slate Mr. Reed had made up 10 that
time.
A leading Republican said that the Sc
lection Of st. Louis as the place for hold
ing the Republican convention has made
% necessary for the Speaker TO frame
his committees on entirely different lines
rom those which he first intended There
Is 90 De a radical change in the selection
u chairiuen and in the make ND Of the
rank and file Of the. leading committees
of ihe House. and 1t will yet require
come time before the slate can be con-
strlcted on a substantial Reed-presiden-
tisi basis. The campaign for the nomi-
nation. as We'll as the campaign for the
party ascendency next year. is TO be
fought ia the House. and Mr.. Reed IS
setting his personal forces and generals
under good and thorough discipline before
the tight begins in January next.
BAYARD INCIDENT.

rupti0n" which IL does. as everybody
knows. Just as taking a drink leads TO
drunkenness. when carried to the excess
The Republicans carry protection, is an
Indication OF their line Of policy in the
House. The impeachment feature is d
sham. but II shows that they are going
% attack everything Democratic that
they can find. one hundred and fifty
new members like Barrett have TO make
racords. and they will avail themselves
a. every opportunity TO do 80. with the
power OF the Czarsto help them out.
II the Democrats unite and. form
compact minority they can make a great
fsht. and in all probability hoist the
Republicans with their own petard.
