Nothing but the high promptings of faith could induce those gen- tlemen to leave their places of business and thereby, sacrifice their own interests to further those of God's little ones.

In fact, this is only measurably true. An outline of policy guessed at by a review of the committee list may be relied on to a limited ex- The party policy of the House is regulated in ‘one of two ways, and the plan once laid down is seldom departed from as to any great question. ‘One method is for the Speaker and three or four gentlemen who have his confidence to deter mine among themselves what is to be done, and then, by the exercise of extraordinary power, pe things to that end, first by co: ing committees for or against certain measures, regardless of the sentiment of a majority of the party they are supposed to represent, and sec- ondiy by discriminating in the recognition of members to make motions and by adopting spe- cial rules to promote or to retard legisiation. method, which is based upon the assumption that the Speaker and the little guard around him are the only members of the House who have the heart and are the only ones whom it is safe to ‘auses considerable irrita- tion and threatens sooner or later to result in irreparable divisions. THE CAUCUS PLAN. The other method of planning the party policy is to meet in caucus and to reach a con- clusion after @ full discussion, in which every section and every theory may be given hearing, such course tobe followed as a ma. jority representing the whole part In such a caucus the ablest men, having the best side of a question and a disposition toward conservatism, looking al- ways to the future of the party, are apt to ex- ercise the strongest influence. adopt is very apt to be the trae policy party they represent, whether it be wise or This is an arbitra party interests at trust, and it usually cide to be wise. ‘The policy they It is probable that tho latter method will be followed to a considerable extent in the present House, and it iscertain that the mfluenee of the Speaker and his friends will be exerted to hold the party to those questions as to which there is least divieion of opinion and which the leaders of the party are anxious to have kept to the front in the next presidential contest. They believe, however, that to accomplish this it is best to appeal to the reason of the mem- bers whoare sent to Congress equally with them- selves to represent the several constituencies. If there isnot a very general misapprehension as to the sentiments of the people who send a ma- jority of the representatives to this House they lieve that it will not Le difficult to arrive at in this way. rather than by arbi- trary methods based upon a false assumption. If 8 wise policy for legislation is not adopted by this method they believe that it will at least represent the wisdom of the democratic party. THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMMITTEES. This has been kept in view in the construc- tion of the committees, the Speaker endeavor- ing to fairly represent the sentiment of the House in their construction without packing any in the interest of any particular faction. It is the idea of the democratic leaders to shape the next presidential contest in this House and, possible, to so conduct affairs as to make their party’ fairly certain of suc: tional contest. Itis appreciated that success must depend upon the efforts of the whole democratic party and that factional differeyces r be for the timo laid aside. The appreciation of this situation does not appear to be confined to the constituted lead- ers, but is participated in to a greater or leas degree by the average member of Congress. Each faction, however, demands that there shall be fair pinay; that they full hearing in the ‘party councils before their theories are rejected. It is believed that the committees have been so construeted as to give the strong advocates of various proposi- tions which are now interesting the country the best possible representation on the com- mittees before which those pro} This being done the whole democratic party in the House are to determine the con- test between the committees for recoguitioa and for precedence, and it is thought that un- der these circumstances those failing cannot complain of unfair treatment. There is no acknowledged difference of opinion among the democrats on the subject of retrenchment and reform. It is said by all that every possible effort must be made to re- duce expenditures. Therefore the appropria- tions committee is made as strong as possible with this object in view. THE TARIFF QUESTION. The only acknowledged difference of opinion on the tariff question in the House is that be- tween the two parties. The democratic mem- bers of the ways and means committce are all advanced tariff reformers and the republicans are representative protectionists of the most radical type. The contrast is made as marked There isadifference of opinion among the democrats as to the best method of accomplishing a reduction of the tariff under ing conditions—in the face of a repub- lican Senate and exccutive.

On the silver question there is a division in both parties and in this respect it is predicted that it will be found that the House is fairly rep- resented ir. the committee. A minority of the republicans are men who have always favored free coinage of silver. lemocrats are of the same faith, so that the committee can fairly be said tobe a representa- tive committee with a majority disposed to- ward free coinage. It is said that it can hardly be complained, whatever the committee or the House may do inthe matter, that this com- mittee has been packed against free coinage.
