A learning Ambition.
The Washington dispatches this morning herald to the world the fact that our esteemed friend, ex-councilman G. W. L, Brown, has filed his application with the stuffed prophet for the position of collector of internal revenue of New Mexico, with headquarters at Santa Fe. The ambition of brother Brown is commend able but not practicable. The fat fisher of Buzzard's Bay has doolared that he will adopt Harrison's policy and appoint only residents to territorial positions, G. W. L. is worthy, but we fear that he will have to subsist on his alderraanio honors for'the next four years.
HOME 1'ROM THE JUNKET.
Oounoilmtui Soott's Opinion of Bails After Being in Lafayette and Loransport.
The junket of Councilmen out to investigate street oars is still out with the exception of Jeff Soott, who returned yesterday after having been in Logansport. The rest went to Kankakee with the intention ot taking in Urbana and Danville before coming home.
At Logansport they were entertained by Mr. McNary and J. C. Edgeworth, formerly agent of tho Vnndulia here. The street car line there consists of four miles of track, a number of fairly good cars run by the trolley system. The rail is used exclusively and Mr. Scott said the entire party could find no objection to it. Brick paving is brought right up to the tracks and there is no difficulty in crossing in the vehicles. Logansport also owns her waterworks and is just beginning the erection of a light plant.
At LaFayette the party was .-entfcd royally by the city officials and Mr. Levering, president of the street car company. There are t.velve miles of track, all rails, and
Bix
more miles
will be built this season. The cars are of the most improved pattern, heated and lighted by electrioity, and run every twenty minutes until eleven o'clock. Mr. Levering said the rail was entirely satisfactory not only to the company but to the citizens as well.
Heath of an Ex-Slave.
Aunt Mandy Smith, aged about 90 years, died last night at the home of her grandson-m-law, Dick Jones, on Ouk Hill. Aunt Mandy was brought to Crawfordsville in 1835 from Kentucky by the Inlows. She lived 'here ever since and had ihe good fortune during her life to'marry two members of the •Smith family. The first of these was Judge Peter Smith, a celebrated colored preacher. He was a native African and had been kidnapped on the coast during his youth. He never rid himself entire ly of his native speech but spoke a lingo differing from that of the common southern negro.
Aunt Mandy was a good old soul, •vho worked hard and lived an upright life. She washed for John Bisbop'e family for eighteen years and during •bat time they never had a complaint to make. The funeral occuried this afternoon at three o'clock, the interment being in the Old Town cemetery, where tier former master and mistress rre iried.
The Open Meeting.
The open meeting of the Clerk's Union last night was attended by a large tnd enthuBiastio audience and the ad dress of Charlie Benjamin was delivered in a plain and convincing manner and was pronounced by all who heard it an eloquent and logical appeal in behalf of the Clerks' Union and their work in Crawfordsville. Several clerks present that were not members signified their intention of uniting with the order. An old friend, Wm. Griest, also favored them with a neat speech for which the Union felt very grateful. All visi tors present went home convinced that the objects of the Union are just and honorable, and friends Were made from the outside that will be of lasting benefit to the order.
Mr. Henderson at Work.
The immortal Kid Henderson is now nt work. The authorities could not make the larceny case against him stick with the grand jury so he was brought up last night before Mayor Bandel on the charg6 of associating. The young 'hug pleaded guilty and raised his face, suffused with maiden blushes, for the sentence of the court. The Mayor in consideration ot the youth, beauty and previous exemplary character of tho •sweet defendant was-very lenient and stated that he rather thought that 35 days on the stone pile would be about right. Mr. Henderson was of course overjoyed at the lightness of the sentence and the profanity he used in giving thanks could be heard for twenty blocks.

THE COMMITTEES.
Make-Up of Those of the New Senate Ia Criticised.
UNSATISFACTORY TO THE PRESIDENT
Tho Majority of the MnnUrs of the Kltmncr, TarllT anil Other Important Committees Opptmeti to Dir.
Cleveland's Policies.
COMMITTEES ALL XAMBD.
WASHINGTON, March 16.—The senate committees wove completed Wednesday so that the senate is now in a position to do business. Aside from the personnel of the committees the formation is mainly important in fixing, to a large extent, the support which Mr. Cleveland will have in the senate, both us to his nominations and in the development of important public policies. l'nlrimdly to Cleveland.
For the first time in some years democratic senators occupy the chairmanships of all the leading committees and democratic majorities are in control of every committee. The reorganization as a whole is not calculated to encourage the frieuds of Mr. Cleveland. Men who are opposed to him, not only personally, but to his policies, occupy controlling positions on the leading committees. In some cases a majority of important committees is against him on questions of policy which he regards as essential to the success of his administration.
Will I5e Tor Free Silver.
By far the most important committee of the senate is that of finance. It is particularly important at the present time, as it is one of the two questions —revising the tariff and shaping financial legislation—which Mr. Cleveland regards as paramount. So far as finance is concerned the committee has a democratic majority opposed to Mr. Cleveland's view on finance. Of the six members, Voorhees, MePherson, Harris. Vance, Vest and Jones (Xev.), only one of the number, Mcl'herson. is opposed to free silver. The others have voted for free silver at one time or another and are generally refrarded as free silver men. With powers of a committee to pigeon hole financial measures, the free-silver complexion of the new committee is anything but satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland's frieuds.
Wt-ak
011
the Tariff*
In dealing with the revision of the tariff the finance committee will also be rather light in material. The majority of the committee which has justretired had such men as Morrill, Sherman and Aldricli, but the majority which now directs the committee does not contain the name of a single man who is regarded as an authority on the tariff question, unless perhaps it be Senator Vest, of Missouri. It is noticeable in this connection that Roger Q. Mills, who has had twenty years' experience in tariff reform, is not on this committee whieh will reform the tariff.
Other Unsatisfactory Committees.
Next to the committee on finance the main business of tne senate is transacted by the three committees on"appropriations, foreign relations and judiciary. The committee on judiciary has as its chairman Senator Pugh, of Alabama, who has taken no pains to conceal his personal resentment to Mr. Cleveland. Senator Hill, of New York, is also on this committee. In view of the fact that all important judicial nominations go to this committee the presence of 11 ill and Pugh is not wholly satisfactory.
Tills One Pleases the President.
The committee on foreign relations will have an important part to perform in shaping the legislation as to Hawaii and other foreign questions now pending. The membership of this committee :s highly satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland's friends. Senator Morgan, who is at the head of the committee, was M-. Cleveland's chosen spokesman in th- senate during the fisheries debate at the close of the former Cleveland administration.
Other Committees.
By placing Senator Coclcrell at the head of the committee on appropriations the senate receives an infusion of economy such as Air. Ilolman gave to the last house. Most of the other committees deal with the routine subjects of the senate and have little to do with developing im portant public policies. The chairmanship of the committee on military affairs is held by Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, who was a major general in the confederate service. Senator fiorman occupies one of the. most influential positions in the senate, that of chairman of the committee on printing. The two New York senators have places of importance and influence. Senator Hill is chairman of the committee on immigration, where he will be in a position to exercise much influence in quarantine questions. Senator Murphy is chairman of the committee on relations with Canada, a place which promises to be of much importance within the next few years. licpiibllcan Chairmen.
WASHINGTON, March 10.—The republican senatorial caucus has agreed upon the following chairmen of the minority cluurmanships:
Sherman, conference committee: engrossed bills, Allison epidemic diseases, Jones phosphate land claims. Halo committee to in vesicate the condition of the Potomac river In front of Washington.
