of land in severalty to the Indians was
passed. U 1
At z 0 eioca the duoauon dui was
laid before the Senate and Mr. George
took the floor to continue his remarks
in favor of i the bill. Thej people of
Mississippi, he said, j had so much inter
est in the bill that he felt constrained
to present some further views in advo
cacy; of the 1 measure, lie called Mr.
Morgan's attention to the resolution in
troduced by - him (Mr. Morgan) at a
former session of the Senate, giving
a' month's extra pair to congressional
clerks. He .found no warrant in the
constitution for such payment, if Mr.
Morgan's theory of the constitutionality
of the education bill was a true one.
Mr. Morgan inquired what had be
come of the resolution ?
.Mr. George replied that he did not
know. He went on to criticize Mr.
Morgan's record in the matter of appro
priations-for ther purposes. 1 j
Mr. Morgan said he would not loi-

followed the bourse of the Senator from
Alabama (Mr. Morgan) he was com
pelled by the necessity of the occasion
to deal with 1trash,? for there was very
little else in ;the record of the Senator
ekcept what could be denominated.: by
the word "trash
The debate took .a colloquial form be

WASHiNGtos, D. d, Feb. 25 Mr.
Wheeler, of Alabama, from the commit
tee on military affaiisi reported the mili
tary academy appropriation 'bill, and it
was referred to committee of the whole.
(The 1 estimates on which the bill is
based, including $314,403 for public
works, aggregate 0717.950.) The iteufr
that may in the opinion of the secretary
of war be omitted, aggregate 8305,875,
leaving regular annual estimates for
1887, 8412,075. : The committee re
commend the.apprOpriation of $297,805,
or 31 14,270 less than the estimates
The
year
appropriation for the current hscal
amounts to 8310,021 or, $12,216
more
than is recommended in the new bill.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, from the com
m it tee on postoffice and post-roads, re
ported the postoffice appropriation bill,
and it was referred to committee of the
Whole. : i ; ' i ; ;, j
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, presented
a memorial Of 122 savings! banks of New
York State, representing 1,165,000 de-
positors, asking for the repeal of the
Bland silver act. Referred.
Mr. Reagan, from the committee on
commerce, reported a bill to incorporate
the Atlantic at Pacific ship railway com
pany. Committee of the whole.
(This is Mr: Eads' Tehuaotapec bill.
It pledges l& .government guarantee
of five per cent, income on fifty i million
dollars for fifteen years. The vote in
committee was 9 to 4 in favor of the
bill. The guarantee is to begin when
the road has' been demonstrated to be a
success by carrying a loaded ship of
four thousand tons.) : t
In the morning hour the House re
sumed, in oommittee of the whole, the
consideration of tbe Hennepin canal bill.
Mr. Murphy, of Towa, and Mr. Rowell,
of Illinois, consulted the morning hour
advocating th,e passage of the bill.
The House again resolved itself into
committee of .the wholtf onthe pension
appropriation bill.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, who had
charge of the bill, explained its pro is-
ions. ' It appropriated, he: iud.
754,200, or about $15,000,000 more
than was carried by law. for the current
year. 1 his increase was occasioned by
the accelerated work that was being
done in the pension office, and for this
work the commissioner of pensions and
is employees deserved commendation,
and by tbe larger number of cases that
were now being disposed of . xie then
passed on to a discussion of the proposi
tion to repeal the limitation of the arrears
of pension act, and advocated it as a
measure demanded by good faith and
patriotism. The question should not
be how much the measure Would cost
but whether it was just.
Mr. Henderson, of Indiana, while
concurring with Mr. TownBhend in his
general remarks on pension matters,
differed from bun when he attributed
the increased appropriations :. to the ac
celerated work of the pension office. He
said the amount of the pending bill was
$1,091,800 below the average for tbe
ast six years. Passing on to a discus
sion of the general subject of pensions,
he said that-; there appeared to be a
well considered effort on- the part
of some gentlemen in the Hc-uso to
frighten the country with the idea that
the appropriations for pensions were now
so tremendous: that a halt should in
stantly be called. He attacked Mr.
Kandall for having asked the commis
sioner of pensions for an estimate of the
probable cost to the country of the re
peal of the limitation of arrears of pen
sions. He said commissioner Black's
estimates had been excessive and misl
eading and he accused Mr.j Randall of
officiousness ia attempting : to forestall
a bill not yet passed and create alarm trolHoff the government inj all its
in the pubue mind against it. He de- branches. Skilled alike In statesman
scribed commissioner Black's letter as ship and the display of patriotism, the
untrustworthy? and having ? lie In its
fttomach." The commisaioheF, when
called to account by the pension oom
mittee, had revised his estimates ' but
mischief had been done because his first
etter had been spread abroad in public
prints, in reply to a cfuestion by Mr-.
Randall, Mr Henderson said he did not
believe the repeal of the limitation of
arrears would cost tbe' country
one hundred i and fifty millions, : but
whatever its ' cost, he advocated it.
Mr. . HendersOn then went! ; into; an
analysis of the negative vote on the bill
to increase the pensions of i soldiera'
widows. The' total vote in : the nega
tive, he said, was 66, of which 64 were
cast by Southern Democrats and two by
Northern Democrats alt. Hewitt, 01
New York, and Sir. Bragg; qfWisoon
sin. Not one Republican, had voted
against the bill. This, he said, was a
significant vote, and a great lesson was
to be learned from it. In the late cam
paign in' the North the Republican party
had been oharged with being the party
of sectionalismthe party that waved the
ensanguined garment, the: man that
would ever again make the charge after
that simple vote must close hii eyes to
the truth.
Mr. Tillmah, of South Carolina-
Considering that ( the Confederate
States pay about one-third of the taxes
to the Federal, government for pensions
and do not get back three cents of it;
considering also that, from the founda
tion of the government to the present
time. K8 Der month was considered a
sufficient pension for widows, . can
the gentleman: complain that the South
ern members are trying to restrain the
necessarily large expenditures for pen
sions within the ruie mac prevaueu
. .. . i 1 .1 J :i 'j
heretofore.
Mr. Henderson replied that he ar
raitrned no man for his vote, but the
Southern members were under t
obligations with those from the North
to pay the debt to Northern soldiers
"I have not read this vote for the pur
nose of stirrinc up bad blood," he said:
"The time has come when sectional lines
should be droppfid and when sixty-four
members of that side of the .House said
ft!2 was too much to nav a widow, the
sectional line was sept up ana ne oioouy
a . 1 1 i
shirt was waved.
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, inquired
whether Southern members should not
have discretion to vote as their can
sciences aictatea. ty ere wey oiavco
. . J TtT L : .1--.
and not permitted to use their discretion f
Mr. Henderson : No, not slaves, .j I
want all the memDers on this noor
to stand as equals. I concede
their constitutional right to vote
as they please, but there is more than
one wav of observing the constitution
and trampling it under foot.; Today the
nnnatitntion ib thrown in our face as a
shield to cofer an almost: solid vote
against an increase of the pension bill.
and yet were is hardly a constitution of
thn United States to be found in that
section. I state here . and now, as my
conviction, if these gentlemen respected
the constitution as they say they would
not have control of this chamber. If
thAv renresented the constitution. instead
df ballot-box ituffing and shot-guns
they wouia no nave control vt uiv ox
. a.. a. l . m i il
ecutiye of the nation. (Applause on
the republican 1 side and groans on the
democratic side.) You may groan, gen
tlemen, but you yourselves do know and
you boast of it, too, that you ! will con
trol this government in spite of the con
8titut!on, and I tell you here and now
iu this chamber that there are as
grave crimes committed under the
forms of law and the constitution as
there- were when Sumter was fired
upon, and for one I protest against
sectional control of this country
with the constitution absolutely de
feated These are my sentiments, and
I said the gauntlet was thrown in that
vote. In closing I desire to say that I
sincerely trust that no gentlemen, espe
cially those who were in ranks against
me will misinterpret me, for I would
rather spend an eternity in hell with! a
Confederate than an eternity in heaven
with a Northern Copperhead. : (Laugh
ter and applause.) 1 i - j ,
Mr Warner, of Ohio, defended the
commissioner of pensions from Mr. Hen
derson's attack, and in the course of his re
marks said he wanted the pension bureau
made non-partifan by turning out men
who were in there because they were
partisans; whereat Mr. Curtin, of Penn
sylvania, ejaculated "If you do not
turn partisans out and put other parti
sans in, what is the use of ,haying elec
tions?" (Applause and laughter )
; Mr.. Randall; of Pa., said he desired
to leave the arena of politics for a mo
ment to assume the ground of history
and truth. He was unwilling that the
'sun should go down without his ex
pressing his recollection on this question.
He had much experience' on the appro
priation committee and this j was the
first time, he had ever seen partisan pol
itics and .; sectionalism thrust into a de
bate on the pension appropriation bill.
He should perhaps have remained silent
notwithstanding, but whether intended
or not, there might go abroad through
ihe'eountry a statement that the demo
cratic, party, and more particularly the
Southern element of that party, had
shown any hostility whatever to the
payment of pensions. On the contrary,
his experience had shown that the South
ern clement had developed a wonderful
disposition to pension Union soldiers or
the widows of Union soidiers. He
placed his experience agatuft the im
pression carried by the speech of the
gentleman from Iowa, that there was
on the Democrat side any hostility to
the payment of what was justly due to
those who were disabled in the war for
the Union. I l.
Mr.; Morrison, of Illnois, said that
alt the years of the war and ten years
thereafter the Republicans had had con-
Republican party had made ample pro-
vision for the payment of pensions ,to
J . . .
the soldiers, i Since h is experience he
did not recollict the name of a South
ern man who had ever failed to vote; to
the last dollar what that party had pro
vided by law should be paid to the sol
dier, 1 1
The discussion was continued by
Messrs. Reed, of Maine: Hiscock, of
New York, and others, and drifted into
the old groove, as to whether the Demo
cratic party was sincere in its professions
Ot economy Or whether it had not made
inadequate appropriations for the pur
pose of being , able to go before the
country With: a favorable showing Of ex
penditures. Pending action the commit
tee rose. The' debate throughout the day
was marked by much interest and some
excitement, though good nature pre
vailed at all times: The chairman had
much difficulty in keeping the commir-
tee in oraer, Dut sncceeaea wen m nis

sion was so great that the voices of the
speakers were drowned in applause and

Chicago, Feb 25. Three of the own
ers and managers ofthe McCormick reap

gates from the strikers yesterday. The
delegates conceded that the trouble in ar
ranging a settlement had arisen from the
interference of outsiders. The strikers
to the number of about-1,000 appeared
in the vicinity of the works this morn
ing and for the first time made a dis
play of violence. The foreman of the
works, named Ward was stopped
while driving to the works land during
the talk a revolver wast' drawn, but no
shots were fired. He was afterwards
permitted to go to the works. Mean
time another squad of idle men: had
stopped the engineer and 'still another
the steam and gas fitters, who were on
their way the works, where they have
been kept busy since the place closed,
keeping the machinery in order. After
a short parley the engineer was allowed
to proceed but the other man went home.

Conn'ellsvili.1, Pa., Feb. 25. The
socialistic Hungarians caused more trou
ble m the coke region this morning. A
crowd of them assembled at BrOadford
and marched to Summit, on the- Mt.
Pleasant branch, forcing every coke
drawer from work along their? route.
They were nearly all armed and fired
numerous shots in order to intimidate
the workers. , At Summit and the Other
works the coke-drawers fled, through
fear of violence from' the! mob, and in
some cases left their scrapers in this hot
ovens, to jnelt, fearing that if they con
tinued work the tipple and other build

Ve read an editorial in Tag JNkwb
and Obsibykr, February 25th, discuss
ing the "boycott and its evils," con
demning its use in general and particu
larly in the South. We were sorry tb
see such condemnation of an instrument
which is so powerful in the bandit of the
weak against the tyranny of the strong.
Boycotting, when used properly, 1 as
manipulated by the Ivoigbts of JUabor
and kindred societies, is not only lawful
and right, but is a blessing to the poor
wage-worker who "earns his living by
the sweat of his brow.". Boycotting is
a universal instrument, Eand is U6ed in
every vocation of life, fit; is thef life of
Ireland and the controlling haftd in the
English Parliament. Without : it the
gallant Parnell could not manage to
hurl cabinet after cabinet; from : power
and make the Irish minority a balance
of power. ( Where would President

The boycott is the weapon by which the
South is kept solid by boycotting the
Republican ticket. All honor to tbe
boycott, when used properly.
