CHANCE FOR PROMOTION.

Owing TO the enforced retirement OF
Hepburn of Iowa. Jenkins of Wisconsin,
I.andis. Overstreet and others OF Indi-
ana. and Adam Bede of Minnesota, and
the promotion of Sherman to the vice
presidency, there are many vacant
places on the big committees of the
lower house. The ways and means COM
nnittee is the most important. and there
is a lively scramble for the place which
will be vacated by Representative
Bonynge of Colorado at the close of his
present term.
Just now the ways and means COM
mittee is engaged in hearing the claims
of the protected interests with the OBJ
ject in view of revising the tariff. The
bill will probably be ready to submit
by the time the extra session is called,
so that the lucky man who gets the
vacancy won't cut much figure in the
drafting of this all-important measure.
II would be impossible to predict the
successor of Bonynge on this commit
tee, but it's a sure thing the Utah mem
Der viii not be considered.

HUMBLE PIE FOR KAISER.

Emperor William has had his lesson.
Hereafter he win not assume an auto
cratic attitude, but will take counsel
OF his ministers before involving Ger
many in diplomatic tangles. The peo-
pie of~that country are dreadfully "sot'
in their ways. and there is no telling
what might happen if the emperor per-
sisted in ignoring the reichstag and the
ministers. AS it is, considerable of the
tinsel has been torn away and the
divinity which doth hedge a king" is
not apparent to any considerable ex-
tent along the Rhine
II must have been CALLING to the
pride Of the war lord when Chancellor
Won Buelow bluntly informed him what
the people of the fatheriand demanded
and expected. but, like Davy Crockett's
coon, ne came down The result viii
be that Germany will be governed
hereafter much in the same manner as
Great Britain. The reforms may not
all come at once, but in the end the
reichstag will be supreme So that the

Telegraph accomplished some good.
