study, would be inimical to the interests of both territories.
 The crownlng foolishness of the Journals reference to the Taw- ney visit is this; "The mem bers of the committees of both houses of congress regard MT. Tawney's interference as an imperti- nence." Where did the Journal hear that? As a matter of fact there is mo- body to be aggrieved. There are no committees on territories in the wide, wide world. There is not even a con- gress. The committees of the Fifty eighth are dead and those of the Fifty ninth have not yet been born but will be next month.
 We may say though that the Taw. ney party came as near having official sanction as was possible. It had the approval of former Speaker Cannon oe the Fifty eighth congress and w;lo will doubtless be the speaker of the Fifty-ninth and the maker of the ney: committee on territories of the house of representatives MT. Cannon was himself invited to become a member of the party and he accepted the invi- tation, though at the last moment oth- CT business detained him.
