chair. The selection, however, was
made in strict consonance with prece-
dence. Maj. Mckinley had been the
leading contestant in the struggle for
the nomination for speaker. ETIQUETTE
seemed to require that the new speak
er should place the major at the head
OF the ways and means. At all events,
IN full fairness, he had a right to
choose between the major and the
Judge
1t was fortunate for the major that
the selection fell upon him. 1t made
him president of the United States
eventually. On the other hand, it
seems to be unfortunate for Mr.. Reed
that he was elected speaker If Mai.

mittee on appropriations to succeed

leader Of the minority on that COM
mittee in the preceding congress. Ezra

Missed the Presidency


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The re.
fusal Of the house of representatives
to express the opinion that the speak
er ought to appoint his committees
as soon as possible has apparently
settled the agitation on the subject.
There is no longer any doubt that
the speaker will withhold the appoint
ments until the tariff bill is at last
sent to the president. The plea mada
by Gen. Henderson that the speaker
required time to become acquainted
with the members and ascertain their
adaptability for the various commit
tees is ingenious, but hardly ingenious.
The action Of the speaker is proba-
bly, foreshadowed by his action in the
Fifty-first and FNfty-fourth congresses.
1t is customary to select as chairman
of a committee, when a change of ad-
ministration has been made, the lead
Ing member of the minority Of the
committee in the preceding congress.
Mr.. Reed, with very few exceptions,
followed this precedent in the Fifty
first and Fifty-fourth congresses.
In the Fiftyfourth he made Jona-
than H. Rowell, of Illinois, chairman
of the committee on elections. Mr.
ROwell had demonstrated his merits
as a leader Of the minority in the
Fiftieth congress. The speaker fol
lowed precedent in his appointment Of
the chairman of the committee of ways
and means. The leader of the minority
on the committee in the preceding con
gress was William D. Kelley, of Penn
sylvania. The speaker selected as the
chairman in the Fifty-first congress

Judge Kelley was said to have been
very indignant because he had been
set aside. He had served thirty years
in the house, and as father of the
