lY to Cnuse scandal.

Washington, Feb. e5.-When the spa-
Hcial committee appointed by Speaker
Henderson 70 Investigate the appoint
ment and payment of employees OF the
house of representatives makes its re-
port numerous Irregularities and petty
scandals Will be exposed. This condi-
ton isa growth Of many years. II was
bad enough in the fifty-third congress
and those which preceded 1t, but ii has
been much worse since the beginning OF
The fifty-fourth congress, when what is
expressively termed the hog combine.
Was formed for the control of all pat
ronage of the house.
When the republicans then secured
control of the house organization, a
combination was made among repre-
sen.atives from certain states to control
1.-the selection Of the elective officers,
from speaker down, in the republican.
caucus and to apportion the appointive
places among themselves. This combi-
nation. which has been in effect ever.
since, is responsible for most OF the ir-
Irregularities and scandals which nov ex-
list.
| The question Of the fitness OF a man.
| forthe placesto which he was appointed
vas rarely considered and some of the
places were distributed by having slips
| of paper bearing the names of officers
linked UP in a hat from which the men
to be appointed drew their places by lot
! One result of this was that young
white man drew the appointment as at
ltendant in the democratic cloakroom, a
place that had been filled for many
years by Albert Scott. a colored man
When the white man reported for duty
Albert Scott showed him what he would
have to do in the way OF cleaning Gus
pidors, brushing clothes and backing

never appeared at his post of duty

drawing his salary, tho no one seems
10 know who he is or what duty he Is
nominally performing. 1t will be part
of the duty of the special committee to
find out. In the meantime Albert Scott
has been performing his old duties and
relying on a special resolution at each
session of congress for his pay.
/ Men have been appointed to one place
and transferred to another for which
the salary appropriated is less the diff
ference then being made up by the in
sertion each year of all item In the gem

cases of such transfers. but one OF the
most striking is that OF the telegraph
