What Will the House Do:

One of the most extraordinary communl-
cations ever forwarded to Congress is lhat
which is now in the hands of the House
committee on appropriations ana winch
deals with the cases of eleven persons who
were, it is asserted by the congressional
commission, injured in the Ford Theater
disaster and deserve financial relief, but
who, in the opinion of the clerks whose
views are set forth in the letter in ques-
ton, were not worthy the consideration
that has been given them. 1t will now be
for the House of Representatives to decide
between the recommendations of the con-
gressional commission and these state
ments, which so far as they are proper
evidence in the case ought to have been sub
mitted to this investigating commission The
congressional commission awaited itself of
the expert services of three government
surgeons-one from the army. one from the
navy and one from the marine hospital
servtce-who carefully examined into the
merits of each claim and who subjected TO
the closest professional scrutiny each sur
vivor who applied for the long-delayed
financial relief With the reports of these
surgeons before it, the commission pro-
ceeded to sift the testimony and to estab-
lish a rating upon which an estimate for
an appropriation could be based.
The commission has not been accused Of
extravaganza in its recommendations; as
matter of fact it has made the amounts
much smaller than the amounts should
lave been; it shaved much more closely
than would any jury in court of law. 1t
is therefore surprising to note this double
headed assault-upon the commission and
Upon eleven of the beneficiaries named in
the bill which passed the Senate yesterday.
If it be true, asserted, that this report
has been in the hands of the Secretary of
War for several months. it would be inter
esting to many to know why the Secretary
should have withheld the document until
the Senate had appropriated the money to
settle the claims, instead of submitting it
to the congressional commission.

The Rule of the Maiarifx

The prediction that fine work. will In
the end prevail at St. Louis and at Chi
cago, with the politicians getting what they
want at both places, is often heard. Those
who's make it shake knowing head and
indulge in many "reminiscences. The bare
fact that Mr.. Mckinley has a majority of
the st. Louis delegates instructed for him
argues nothing. they declare. Other men
have been so circumstanced and yet have
lost the expected result. Many things may
happen between now and convention time,
and even in the preliminary stages of the
convention Itself, calculated to put a diff
ferent face on things from that they now
wear. Mr.. McKinley's strength is de-
scribed as the unorganized strength of a
certain popular enthusiasm. 1t will disap-
pear before the assaults of a veteran on
position And so on.
AT Chicago. according to estimates from
the same source, the contest will again be
between sentiment and business. The silver
men may appear there in the majority.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-05-26

They may be well and resolutely led. But
they will be from the south and the west.
and no match for the trained men from the
east, with great enterprises hanging in
the balance and everything to nerve them
to their best endeavors. Sentiment will
again GO down. Shrewd management will
again prevail.
But, as often as this prediction is heard
1t makes no impression on the soberer
class of men. In that quarter the opinion
obtains that this is not year for fine
work. in either party. There Is too much
at stake. The people are too much inter-
ested. and they are too well informed about
the issues and the situation. Fine work"
1t Is pointed out, is best performed when
there is a sudden turn In afrairs-when no
wide advertisement has put people on their
guard. But now everybody Is on guard.
Both the tariff and the silver questions
have been under discussion for years, and
whatever is reasonably to be expected from
a campaign of education Is now available.
The people are expressing themselves at
the primaries, and whatever they demand
there will have to be secured by the repre-
sentatives they send to the national con-
ventions, or else very serious consequences
will follow. A plain reversal, even by the
most expert means, of the popular judg-
ment. at either convention would. 1t Is
thought, put the ticket of the party so Of
Tending hopelessly out Of the race.
1t is this feeling which leads to the
counter prediction that, as Mr.. Mckinley
has won at the primaries. he will win at
st. Louis, and that, If silver wins at the
democratic primaries. the Chicago conven-
ton will adopt silver platform and put
silver man IN nomination for President

And knit each reverend brow,
In solemn study DER the laws

Why contradict and storm and foutf

Since Phyllis brings an essay out

The republican caucus last Saturday
to put in nomination candidates for
town representative and justices of the
peace, was the largest attended that we
by the choice of Lieutenant Governor
Mansur for chairman and w. H. Bishop
Secretary. Mr.. Mansur on taking the
chair made capital and apt speech. He
declared it was always a privilege and an
honor to preside over any Republican
assemblage He expressed his pleasure
at seeing so many voters present which
gave promise for very gratifying results.
He dwelt upon the nature and import
ance of primary assemblies, and of their
being fully attended so as to call out the
vigor and strength of the party. There
being two candidates the purpose of the
caucus was to select who should repre-
sent the town in the next general as
sembly, and which ever was selected it
was important that the people be COM
pletely united so as to send him by an
increased majority. Whoever was chosen
the town was sure to be ably and well
represented. Vermont occupies an unique
position in the campaign, said the Colonel,
being the first to speak in September, also
the only New England state to cast her
ballot in the Neutrality-suspicious. favor
of him chosen as the standard bearer
of the republicans in this campaign. She
therefore should roll up such majority
in September as would cheer the hearts
of republicans all over the country
Small in population, yet potent IN infiu-
ence she should utter no uncertain sound,
but so voice the opening of the campaign
as to emphasize it as never before. Very
hearty applause greeted the speaker.
The caucus then proceeded to ballot for
town representative, no nominating
speeches being made. One hundred and
eighty ballots were cast, just as many
as were cast at the last election, and OF
This number G. Z. Clarke having SO, a
majority. was declared the nominee.
A committee appointed reported union
ticket for justices of the peace, which the
caucus adopted, six republicans and four
democrats, as follows: f. J. Parsons,
