DUTIES OF LEGISLATIVE COM
MITTEES.

The question has been raised con-
corning the prerogatives and the func-
tions of the committees of the Legis-
lature particularly those that are
named in connection with State In
situations.
The inquiry is made, because dur
ing the recess of the Legislature, these
State institutions came under the
critical eye of the public because of
charges that were made against the
management of State Prison, State
Reform School for Boys and the State
Industrial School for Girls. 1t is not
the purpose of the Chronicle to discuss
the merits of the charges or the
conditions that even lead to the rumors
of irregularity. 1t is not the duty of
the standing committees on these in
situations, to ascertain the truth or
falsity of these charges and to inform
the people through the Legislature
just what has been going on.
These State institutions are sup
ported by public funds and the people
demand that they shall be properly
conducted and economically admins
tered. The only connection between
the people and the management are
these standing committees and these
committees seem to think that they
have only to go to these institutions,
eat specially prepared collation., see
the place in dress parade order,
and return we'll satisfied. No report
is ever made of this visitation. There
is nothing in the records that show
that these committees ever report
They do not even give vote of
thanks for the hot bird and the cold
bottle. 1t is apparent from the fact
that these visitations are regularly
made, that these standing committees
know that they hav esome prerogatives
that the management of the public in
situations are bound to respect and do
respect it sumptuously The COM
mittees need reforming. There is more
law required which will define their
duties and compel them to make re-
ports.
1t would be we'll for them to dis
pense with the usual dinner party
and walk into the institutions un-
announced Go prepared to make in
quiry on the lines that are suggested
by the charges that have been made
in the public prints. An official re-
port by an official body, with powers
to ascertain the facts would have
soothing effect on the public mind,
when rumor placed cloud over the
management of State institution.
1t is very plain that the Joint Com
mittee on the Girls Industrial School,
Boys Reform School and the State
Prison would do the people of this
State a great service and at time
when it would be appreciated if they
would officially report before the
Legislature adjourns. Their report
would be public document, officially
constructed which would be perma-
nent record of the institution. 1t
would greatly relieve the officers of
the institution of any lingering sus-
picion. There is no better time for
reform than the present time.

IF PUS HE'D CAN MAKE THE
RIFLE

Captain Brady, the well informed
Washington correspondent of the
Chronicle, writes under date of the
18th, relative to Vice Presidential
possibilities.
Zone of the names most recently
talked of as candidate for the Vice
Presidency on the ticket with Presi-
dent Mckinley, is that of Attorney
General Griggs. He would be an
acceptable candidate to Republicans
generally, but it is noticeable that
the Western Republicans are Begin
ming to talk of some good Western
man for the second place on the tick
ct. However, if Attorney General
Griggs' friends push him in the right
way he can probably make the rifle. :"

-lington, the energetic secretary and
treasurer Of the Fish Commission is
going to make an effort to get another
appropriation for stocking. He be-
lieyes the State would be justified in
continuing the expenditure as the ex-
periments are SO far encouraging. He
will be down to the State Capitol in
a few weeks to urge the.claim of the
Commission ON the Joint Committee
on appropriation.

1t turns out there are no diseased
germs in the telephone, as they shun
them. No case of contagion has been
traced to the use of the telephone, a
scientific commission in Paris having
thoroughly investigated the matter, as
many persons had become alarmed
over adverse reports. Hence, it would
seem as if electricity was the knock

BENEFICIAL TO ALL TOWNS.

Commenting on the recent annual
meeting of the Trenton Board of
Trade, the New Jersey Herald says
Senator Martin S remarks relative to
the matchmaking of the fourteen
miles of public streets of Newton
clearly demonstrated that he had
given the matter much thought, while
the figures produced demonstrated
beyond point of argument that it
was decidedly to the interest of New
ton to adopt the policy he so clearly
demonstrated and cleverly outlined

dure the committee divided, the ma
jority being for exclusion Two mem
bers of the committee, Littlefeld, of
Maine, Republican, successor Of Ding

that Roberts will anticipate the action
ofsthe committee by resigning before
it can present its report. However.
that is not likely. E.W. BRADY.

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The senate
agreed to q motion by Mr.. Hoar to take
up the resolution declaring that w. \.
Clark vas not duly elected to the sen.
ate from the state Of Montana, and
then. In accordance with Mr.. Hoar',
further suggestion, postponed further
consideration Of the subject for one
week. Before this agreement wa,
reached there was a spirited controversy
over some remarks made by Mr.. Chan.
dler the day previous. Mr.. Bacon took
exception to the fact that Mr.. Chandler
had said that he had heard it stated
that there was a purpose to delay thu
consideration OF the resolution in order
to prevent the governor of Montana
making an appointment Of a senator T.
succeed Mr.. Clark in cas- the seat now
occupied by him should be declared
vacant.
Mr.. Chandler said that his remarks
regarding IA desire to delay the con.
sideration Of the resolution had not
been called out by anything Mr.. Bacon
had said, but had especial reference ia
MIR. Stewart's threat to read in the
senate. If not given time to read out of
1t, the testimony III the case
