The Heuse Cemmit1 tecs.
Mr. Carllsle seems te have Riven gen
eral latlsfaci Ien In the Heuse with his
committees, nnd lias certainly made
them up without regard te the untiigen-
isms e( his election content. Mr. Cox Is
oneoftho prominent Democrats who la
net satisfied that he did net get the
chairmanship of foreign affairs, but he
has a Tery honorable place at the head ei
naval affairs, where he will have an
equal opportunity for distinction nnd
usefulness. Neither of these high class
committees has a great deal of work te
de ; but work in Itself is probably net
what Mr. Cox Is especially anxious for.
Mr. Springer seems te ba the Democrat
of prominence who lias most te complain
of, as he has a small chairmanship and
no place en an important comraittee.Mr.
Springer is net n very strong man, but
he is ene of the eldest members and
occupies a large share of public attention
en the deer. He very naturally looked
for a mere Inipertaut assignment than
he received, and probably should have
received it He attributes his discomfi
ture te ids collengue Morrison, who Is
credited with having the speaker's conn cenn
deuce, as he has that of the country. He
is a strong and rugged man, and may
have been tempted te sit down tee
heavily en his colleague in the Illinois
delegation, without due regard te the
cenlldence the constituents of Ins msse
clate have shown In bis ability by their
frequent return of him te Congress. Our
member, Mr. Smith, get3 a place en the
committee en Indian nffnlrs and another
en a small committee. There is plenty
of room In Indian affairs for the Indus
trieus and investigating habits of Lan
caster county's representative.
Large Laud Helding.
Mr. Hepkins prunes in Congress te
forbid the holding by Individuals or cor cer cor
peratlons of great tracts of public laud.
He would require the railroad cempa
nies holding grants te dispose of them
within three ears and forbid the pur
chase by any person of mere than n
thousand acres in one county.
It Is well known that foreigners
have bought immense tracts of
laud, in the Mississippi region, in
tending te held them until they advance
in value. These acquisitions by aliens
Mr Hepkins proposes te make unlawful.
It Is certainly contrary te public policy
that very large quantities of land shall
be held in single hands just as it is net
well that great masses of wealth should
be under single control.
But the question is ene very difficult
te deal with, and i-erhaps the time is net
yet for its treatment. Congress, hew
ever, may very well new determine te
put a step te the growth of the evil, se
far atleast as the disposition uf the pub
lie laud h concerned. It is just that
the iailread corporations shall be com
polled te dispose of their lands within a
short period , and that no citizen should
be permitted in purchase from them or
the government mure than a limited
acreage. Whether any further steis in
limiting the ownership of lands may be
well taken new is a question for mature
consideration.

Stekkly has eutered the political
ttelaiu Philadelphia again as a raudidate
for mayor, and his candidacy tends te
still further complicate the condition et
things en lliu Republican side. He
served t he terms in the office and was
defeated in his aspiration te be his own
successor. He would have been eleeted
had he given certain neu partisan
pledges te the Committee of One Hun
dred, which he new seenn willing te
make. But Ids concessions of thu'
sort coine tee late te full
satisfy the Independent element
of his party which defeated liim
three yuira age, nud the individual
members of it who express an opinion
show no leadiness te take him ; while Ids
manifestations of independence cause his
old associates te withheld their support
from him. It le ks as if he had entered
th-J race just in time te sutler defeat.
The truth ub u h in H th.it he is a man
of great execirlve ability and under
some circumstances, notably as the head
of the police, depaitment in an emergen
cy.he appears te geed advantage ; hut he
Is wholly unscrupulous In his methods
and seeks h's ends regardless of tl e
means te be employed. He has excited
bitter antagonisms in his own party and
these, operating in secret, contributed
largely te his last defeat and should lie
be nominated again, will render his elec
tion well nigh impossible. The Demo

undo the happy occasion for demon demen

exist between the different sections and
elements of the party as endanger its iu

te bring into closer communication and

ocrats from this and ether states, it Is
most fittingly designed aud will eerve a

It was a right merry Christmas and
gave no premise of a fat graveyard.
Belmont and Cox arc mined, but the
country will weny through it.

" Cuhistmu comes but once a year"
overybody knows, but who put the fact
into this pat phrase has been Involved in
souie obscurity It seems that the man
who wrete it wns the author of the tlrt
didactic poem in the English language.
His name was Themas Tesser. He was
born In Btverhill, England, about 1513,
and died when Sbtkespeare was but six
teen j ears old. While a farniei amt poet
he wrete the peeni " The Farmer's Daily
D et,'1 and the sentimeut runs thus :
" At Chrisms nry. anil niskwROe,! elieei

A hall' scuie ether familiar aphorisms
arc colunge from his mint.
WnE.N it is considered lint 300 ore.s
ties a year are required te keep a mile of
railroad in repair ; that the railroads pay
$!,000,000 a year for cress ties ; ami that
it takes from 12,000,000 te 15,000,000 new
ties (er annum te keep the established
reads of the country In operation, u idea
Is obtained of the way in which the turests
of the country are denuded te meet the
demand. Fikoceuuty, this state, furnish
es the bulk of the ties ued by tbe eastern
reads, and the amount of timber shipp'Mi
from tboie every jcar Is said te be some
thiug fitbldeus. New Yerk has r eeatly
become vry much alarmed ever lervst

high time for Pennsylvania te profit by

A little girlish figure steed befere the
clerk iu Brown's hotel in Chicago, en

and met tbe gaze or a piir of dark bruwu
eyes which peered at htm from a poke

" Yeu will please show me te a room,"
she said.
With great coolness she Inscribed upon
the register, "Nellie West, New Yerk
city." She paid for a room and befere
retblng requested, in case any oue Inquired
for her, that she should net be called.
After she hud been iu the room a short
