One of the greatest difficulties the Demeorate will encounter in the organi. -zation of the House of Representatives next winter will bo due to the fact that -the Southern states are no longer in the ,majority in then party as represented in •Congress. There are some Demoerate who hold that the time hes come for recognizing the northern preponderance both este the eleotion of ohief officers and the constitution of the leading nom. mittoes. Theses new departure men are found in both sections, although natural. ly more numerous in that quarter which has been heretofore left oat in the or- ganization. A report ie circulated, 'wbioh perhaps has no sufficient founda- tion, but which illustrates the situation, to the offeot that the Representatives from northern Democratic districts will insist that if a southern Speaker be -chosen he must frame the great com- mittees in the interest of the states whose industries are more nearly eon- •ce•ned with the subjects in ohargo of these committec:e. In other words, the custom of promoting the highest Demo- -yet in Committee service to the chair Inauship must now be snore honored in the breach then the observance. A Southern speaker, according to the alleg- ed program of the northern Democrats, would bo under obligation to set aside the southerners and devolve the honors and responsibilities of leadership upon northern Democrats. It is one of the peculiarities of the situation that there can be apparently a0 reciprocity of honors, ete., in the event a northern Speaker is selected ; he would be, it eeeme, trader this notion of the domina- tion of the majority section, obliged to give the chief chairmanships and oohs- mittee places to northern Democrats in 'preference to those of the south, Thie is perhaps the most striking single feature connected with the organization of the Fifty-second Congress. The Deet of publlo funerale.has increas- ed largely daring the last few years, an .increase ter ie advance of the neceeeitiee 'of the case. Great scandal has been raised by the publication of the expense list of some of the congressional funerals. That it should take $50,000, 970,000 and le some instances 9100,000 to bury a member of Congress is simply preposter- ous. It is a waste of the public thuds for which thous who are responsible should long ago have been rebuked. This extravagance le charaeteriebio of no party or Rouge. It has crept in unawares and ns sanctioned, if sanctioned at all, by only the fow portions who have ebarge of such alleles. It is strange that there hae not been a cheap overhauling of I. hie ,alt's of aocoutets by the committees of the (eve lioness who have control of ex. penditures. The trouble has been that few patio men care to make a fuss about such things because it might, if ventilate ed, result int a severe meting out of popu- lar displeasure, The people themselves Bela hardly believed what hes been ub- lisbed 10 the newspapers, they have thought there meet he merely some miss take, emu exagget ation, the liguree worn go lame and the' items go nnneooesary, at least an the quantities cottsnmee. instance, hew is it possible without official voutherd to confirm the foot, 00 credit1.etory that wines and dinnere cost up inti the theneande or titan it speeial troth wee indispensable, It ie to, be hoped that AO false delicacy or senti- mentality will operate next winter to prevent a thorough inquieition into these funeral junkets that have become the disgrace of Congress. The Republicans have lost, including the Illinois eeat, five eenatorsbips this winter. The others wore one in New York, one in Wieoonein, one in Keno* and one in Sonth Dakota. They will gain ono in California by the death of Mr. Hearst. The net gain to the Demo- crats and their allies will be four, but the reduction to the late majority of the Repnblioans will be eight, leaving that party with a majority of six in the next Congress. This will be a 'close shave' for the Republicans and will, with the overwhelming Democratic majority in the Ileum of Representatives, force upon that party a policy of great caution, facing as it docs a presidential eleotion in 1892. A great deal hes been gained, since an early and amicable settlement of the nal` fisheries dispute is *meetly desired by both the IL S. ttnd Groat Britain, in the a0ceptence by the latter 01 the Amerioan ofrer of arbitration. The letter of Lord Salisbury to MinisterPannoefote its, in effect, an official rebuke of the alaenliets, some of whom have endeavor- ed to embroil the two kindred people in war. The settlement of vexed questions by arbitration is the modern way, and it is at ones more rational and more civiliz• ed..
