Next week the sessions of Congress. II Is
expected will be somewhat irregular on
account of the general desire of members
Of both houses to attend the Grant cere-
monies in New York. and the present plan.
il Is stated is that little or no business
Is to be transacted. This scheme should
not cause a further postponement OF the
confirmation of Messrs. Wight and Ross
as District Commissioners, which has
been awaiting action for ten days The
District committee Is probably almost a
unit in favor of immediate confirmation,
and il is hoped it will meet Monday morn
ing to consider these names. in order that
a report may be made to the Senate the
same day. The Senate must be called TO
order at room. and will probably devote
a short time to executive business. These
nominations can then be reported and acted
upon at once. unless some Senator objects,
in which case they must go over to the
next executive session. which cannot be
held. according to the present plan. until
Thursday Meanwhile the local business
Is in such shape that II Is highly important
that the board of Commissioners should
lie reorganized without further delay
Many important matters are being laid
aside for final action when the new Com
missioner takes his seat and the approach
of the new fiscal year places a high pre-
MUM on time at the District buildings.
For these reasons. If for no others, the
nominations should be treated with the
courtesy of speedy consideration The rule
of the Senate in considering the Presidents
nominations for public office thus far has
seemed to be to dispose Of all cases with
out delay. In some instances nominees
have been, confirmed on the same day
their names were submitted. notably the
new minister to Hawaii. The Presidents
affections for these local offices have given
practically unanimous satisfaction in the
District. and 1t is due TO the citizens of the
capital. who are deeply concerned, that &C
ton should be taken promptly.
