TILE SOUTH HAS NO SHARE IN THE TENSION STEAL. But I'll s Oiif-Third of tlie Money PresijleDt Hari-iiiou's Speeches South Oilier Chat. -Arp 011 in th Henry Fields says in his great pa per: "We believe that the President has become more than ever convinc ed by this southern journey that the South is as much interested in good government as the North, and that it is as much in earnest to solve its own problem in the best possible manner as the North is--to solve its own no less perplexing difficulties." Kind words from Mr. Fields, and1 he always speaks them. In alluding to the President's speeches along the line he says : "His frank and well considered words must bring about a more kindly feeling between men of all varieties of opinion." We hope so. We liked his speeches very much, for they were kinder than we expect ed ; but from the first to the last he pressed the point that all the citizens of this great nation now shared equal ly in the blessings and the benefits of our national government. Is that .s o ? Neither Mr. Fields nor President Harrison understands the southern people. The very best people of the North do not understand us, and I'm afraid they never will. "Put your self in his place" is a maxim with which they make no experiment. I wish that Mr. Harrison could have been in Atlanta or. some other south ern city on decoration day and wit nessed the loyalty of our people to the Confederate dead the reverence for the lost cause and he might have realized something of that deep, undying sentiment which still glows in southern hearts and burned bright er as the years roll on. While there is neither treason, nor hatred, nor re gret in it, there is nevertheless a con sciousness of moral rectitude that makes us feel all the more - bitterly the humiliation of being under the ban of northern triumph and northern tyranny. -If we be friends and-breth-ren then why is this discrimination in blessings and benefits kept up? If the blue and the gray meet together and shake hands and declare all es trangment buried why are they not made equal before the law. The northern idea seems to be that we be haved very bad, but that they in their magnanimity have forgiven us. But w e do not feel that we have behaved bad at all, and don't want any for giveness. We want justice. We tried to separate to dissolve partner ship and that's all there is in it, and we feel that we had a right to do it, and every decision made on that question by the Supreme Court leans that way, and that is the reason why the government didn't dare to try efferson Davis lor treason. They knew thai their own Supreme Court wouldn't let him be convicted. Then why are we shut out from sharing in all tin benefits and blessings ? How- lone; is punishment to eo on ? How ong are we to pay pension money to their soldiers and get" none Tor our own ? That debt is now swelled to $150,000,000 a year, and the South pays one-third of it. A thousand millions have already been paid out since the war in pensions, and the wc mder is that we have been able to get along. We pay our part through the operations of the tariff, and no man knows how much he pays.: If it were a direct tax upon us and was collected like" our State and county takes, our people would despise the government for its tyranny and be ready at any time to throw oft the yoke that bound them. In case of a (on ion war the North wouldn't be safe a moment, for the .strength of a Republican government is In the hearts of the people. If by the next session ot Congress there should be precipated a w ar with England or Germany, the first bill passed .would be an act to pension our invalid sol diers and to repeal this outrageous law that now prohibits any one en gaged in the late rebellion from hold ing any office in the army or navy. Equai blessings and benefits would come in a hurry. That cotton tax of $13,000,000 that the Supreme Court of the United States has long since declared illegal would be refunded to us in double quick. Why has it not been refunded ? Is there any other reason but that the debt is due to the South ? Is a northern Democrat any better friend to the South than a northern Republican ? If he is why do they not press this act of justice? Why do they all, both Democrats and Republicans, compel us to help them pay their debts and withhold from us what their own courts have declared due us ? Just stop for a moment and think of the State of Illinois drawing $1 2,000,000 a year from the treasury for pension money. She drew $9,000,000 last year, and it will be 12,000,000 this year. Why if Georgia drew $1,000 we would feel rich. Its benefits and blessings ould be feit from the mountains to the seaboard?; You see it would be a gift a gratuity that didn't have to be worked for. No labor or toil or sweat, and it would come twice every year and we would all get some. I would have a pocket full and Ma jor Foote a hat full and Cobe a great wad of money, and we would spend it freely and scatter it, and our folks would run down to Atlanta every week and buy dressing. Good gra cious how it would help Atlanta ? I wish that Cobe could get a pension for himself and his mule and a whole lot of back pay. I would like to see his eyes roll around and watch him shift his tobacco from one jaw to the other. Well, now in the abstract and the concrete Cobe is just as much entitled to a pension before the law? and before the Lord as any soldier in the yankee nation. He lived right close by a darkey who got a pension of $1,600 all in a lump, and he never done a thing but steal chickens for the yankee officers. I read the oth er day in the Youth's Companion about a man applying for a pension because he cut his foot with an ax that he brought home from the army. He got it, I reckon, they all get it, and they never die. I wonder if they wouldn't consent to pension our Confederate widows? They never fought much, and it looks like they have suffered enough. ( )ur own legislature undertook to pension them last year, but the mem bers were a new set and not used to guessing, and' they guessed there were about 600 in the State, and they appropriated $6,000 so as to give them $100 apiece, and now it turns out there are over 6,000, and the cry is still they come. Old Carroll sends up a roll of 1 10 who are living within her boundaries. Hurrah for Carroll. Her married men went to war, and they not only fought and bled, but they died for liberty. But there is no money for these w idows. I wish there was ; and now il Mr. I larrison wants to do the clean thing when he gets back, let him send in a message to pension our widows. That's the road to peace. All this other sort of peace is put on and patched up, and don't last any longer than the cham pagne. I tell you, Mr. President, we have endured a sight. Your own w ar debt was 3.000,000,000 and we had to help on that. You look our negroes and our property and gutted our churches and never paid us it" cent. Old England emancipated her slaves and paid the owners $3000, 000,000 for them, but the modern idea of justice is 0 "That they shall take who have the power, And they snail keep who can." Blessings and benefits ! Contem plate the picture. One State draw ing $12,000,000 a year and another State drawing nothing, and taxed besides to pay $3,000,000 of the $12, 000,000. How in the world did the South ever rise from her ashes and stand up and flourish under such burdens and to-day her farmers don't carry one-fourth of the mort gages that the northern farmers do. And now comes the Columbian exposition, at Chicago, that Congress appropriated $3,000,000 to, and the South must pay her part of that, and they will ask for $5,000,000 more and get it. Anything to gut the treas ury and make a high tariff a necessi ty. All that was a part of the plan of the protectionists. Gut the treas ury and the tariff must come. Mr. Cleveland left ninety millions and it is all gone and McKinley boasted the other day in a speech that "we paid our debts with it debts to the old heroes of the war." There are some of us who take but little stock in Chicago. It will be a job and a grab all round for there are millions in it. The woman's branch ot the concern started out like the South was to have a showing and they throwed our Mrs. Felton a bone but there was nothing on it and then they told her to go, and she went. I ask ed her the other day w hen she was going back to help on the concern, and she said: "Never-bless your soul, they don't want me. I've clone had my pie; I've got my dis charge, but no pension. I am at home cooking for the darkies. I get up every morning by daylight and cook breakfast for the farm ne groes, tor the crop is behind and we can't hire a cook. I do the milking and churning too, and I am trying to forget Chicago. They lilted me up and then set me dow n hard, but I feel better at home I do." That is about the size of it. Of all the scon s of committee " women andsalaried officials they have not taken one from the Old Dominion nor the Carohnas nor -Georgia, Ala bama or Mississippi. Too poor or too ignorant or too Democratic or something. We were banking on Mrs. Felton, ami some of my tolks w ere plotting to get on her staff and draw salaries and play round ami bask in her sunshine. The prospect "was bright, was beautiful but 'tis past." Mrs. Felton is cooking for the darkies and my wife is brushing down the c 1 we1 s and wearing her old clothes as usual. Alas, for hu man hopes ! blessed are they who expect little, for they shall not be dis appointed. Bill Arp. - "I Am So Tired" Is a common exclamation at this season. There is a certain bracing efiect in cold air which is lost when the weather grows warmer; and when Nature is renewing her youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish and tired.

(CONCLUDEI)J "Look here, Phil. You and I came came here together. We have held our mouths long enough. We are altogether too modest. If the fool-killer doesn't do his duty by this Congress, that is no reason why we should remain silent. We know enough to tell what we know, and we must be heard." Representative Thompson remind ed him of the advice given by Proc tor Knott when they first entered Congress. "Don't be brash with your mouth," the great Corncracker observed. ''Remember that little boys should be seen not heard." "Yes," broke in McMillin, "but we are so excessively modest, Phil that we are neither seen nor heard. Proctor Knott and the other fellows seize the time belonging to us, and have put the House into a state of coma. We must wake them up, Phil, we must wake them up. IPwe don't do it, our constituents will wake us up this fall. The nominating Convention in my district might be held six weeks from now, and I don't want to waste four years of my life if I can help it, 'f never thought that I had much ability, Phil, but I know that I can overlap some of these statesmen, and I'm going to jump in on the first opportunity," He jumped in that very afternoon. The water was not too deep for him. Mr. Keifer was Speaker, The Tennesseean got the floor for half an hour, swapping time with Jim McKenzie of Kentucky. A dreary debate upon the tariff question was in progress. A few members were asleep, many more were yawning, and the others were bent over their desks answering letters. As the res onance of the young Benton's voice filled the chamber, the letter writers turned their heads and regarded him with querulous interest. They sat with pens poised above paper listen ing to his opening. One by one the pens were laid upon the desks. The sleepers awoke, and there was no more yawning. Heads were stretch ed forward in the galleries. The young man had caught the ear of the House and was charming it. There was no fustian in the woof of his ar gument and no straining for efiect, He was talking the plainest common sense in the plainest Anglo-Saxon. In five minutes every seat near him was filled. Every head was raised. in attention, and every ear was drink ing in what he said. The speech was clear-cut, symmetrical, logical, compact, and convincing. Phil Thompson was delighted, Proctor Knott surprised, and the whole House enlightened. McMillin was re-eleeted that fall, and from that day to this has commanded the attention of the House when rising to speak. His versatility is remarkable. He not only elucidates points under dis cussion, but he draws out informa tion from others. He is equally at home upon any part of the field, If the tarift is under discussion, he draws his claymore and deals the hardest blows. If it is a Force bill his work is even more effective. Upon Indian affairs, river and har bor appropriations, complications vfitli foreign powers, geological sur veys, District of Columbia affairs, as tronomical observations, census mat ters, railroad land grants, and the thousand and one similar subjects brought to the attention of Congress he has definite ideas based upon study and observation. He keeps them upon tap for all who desire in formation. But he delights in parlia mentary lore. Many a " lance has he broken with Tom Reed and oth er renowned Republican leaders. In the last Congress he was ever at the outposts. There were daily skirmishes, in which he distinguished himself. In the the preceding Con gress he was one of the assailed and not an assailant. Mr. Carlisle called him to the chair as often if not soften er than any other man, and at one time he was elected Speaker pro tern, by the House itself. It was at such times that Tom Reed took delight in twanging arrows at him. And they were always returned with the vim ol a hickory bow. His power of endurance, accu racy of memory,' and quickness of comprehension were never better shown than in Gen. Oates' remarka ble fight against the Direct Tax bill. It was in the Fiftieth Congress, when filibustering was in its heyhay. Tom Reed championed the effort to take over $17,000,000 from the Treasury backed by the entire Republican phalanx and by a few Democrats whose States were to be benefitted by the spoliation. Through the ef forts of Oates, McMillin, and others, and the veto ot Grover Cleveland, the project was reserved for the Bil lion Congress and Benjamin Harri son. Without this the Republican prodigality would have fallen a little short of a billion. No one who par ticipated in Oates' great fight against the bill can ever forget it. It lasted I ten days and ten nights, the session being almost continuous. It was a genuiue parliamentary struggle, Ev ery device known to parliamentary law was used to obstruct the passage of the bill. Tom Reed was a re lentless leader upon the floor. Backed by his ow n party and by far more than a corporal's guard of Democrats, he accepted the issue, and determined to make it a ques tion of physical endurance. The fight was hot from the beginning. On the second night Speaker Car lisle's strength gave out. Along in the afternoon Clifton R. Breckinridge had moved to excuse Mr. McMillin from voting upon a subsidiary mo tion. It was done on behalf of the minority, to waste time. Tom Reed instantly raised a point of order. A terrific war of words followed. It lasted until long after dark. Reed was at his best in denunciation of the proposition, and Oates held his own without flinching. About S o'clock, as nearly everybody was hoarse, Mr. Carlisle announced his decision. He decided the motion in order, and, as was his custom, cited the authorities for the decision. He then called Mr. McMillin to the chair and retired to his room. Tom Reed was in ecstacy when he saw the Tennessean take the gav el. With Carlisle out of the way he saw, as he supposed", an opportunity either to shame the Speaker or to make the filibusters ridiculous. He promptly got the yeas and nays on the motion to excuse Mr,.. McMillin from voting, and moved to excuse Mr. Cannon from voting on the mo tion to excuse the gentleman from Tennessee. This opened a new and vast parliamentary vista. The next motion would be to move Mr. Mills or -some one else be excused from vo ting on the motion to excuse Mr. Cannon, and so on, until each one of the 330 members of the I louse was resting under a similar motion. Tom Reed was chuckling and shaking his head in glee. His fol lowers were smiling in admiration of his adroitness. It seemed plain to them that if a motion to excuse Mc Millin from voting was in order, a motion to excuse . Cannon must be equally in order. McMillin must either overrule Carlisle's decision or deadlock the House until the end of the Fiftieth Congress. Tbfe Tennessean was equal to the emergency. He did neither. He decided the motion out of order, saying that he knew there was a precedent for his action, but that he was not able then to lay his hand upon it. There was derisive laughter upon the Republican side of the chamber. Reed's friends evidently took no stock in the allegeel precedent. Mc Millin was confident that his memory was correct. He sent for Mr. Car lisle, but that gentleman had gone home for the night. . He appealed to Mr. Randall's recollection in vain. Sam said that his ruling was incor rect. Mr. McMillin then sent Clerk Towles for the journals of the House. The Clerk returned in a few mo ments and reported that the doors were locked, and he could not get at. the journals. "Break open the door, then," Mc Millin undauntedly replied. "I know I'm right. I must have the journals." Meantime, Tom Reed and Joe Cannon were showering him with sarcasm. His own associates were regarding him with critical eyes. An appeal had been taken, when Towles returned with the journals; There was no nervousness about the Speak- er pro tern. He selected a volume il he was from the what he It was a and opened it as calmly as searching for a passage Scriptures. He found sought without trouble,. decision from Speaker Colfax wnicn sustained the ruling of Mr. McMillin. The reasons for the apparently di verse rulings were clearly and com pactly stated.. They were, that while underthe Constitution every par liamentary latitude should be allow ed the minority, no motion was in order that paralyzed the House and made it utterly unable to do business. Tom Reed's jaw fell as he took his seat. Joe Cannon looked as if he had heard of the death of a near friend. The yeas and nays on the appeal were not pressed, and the ap peal itself was withdrawn. McMillin's victory was complete, and Sam Ran dall was the first man to congratu late him. When McMillin left the chair the next day he had not lain down nor slept for forty-nine hours. This is tlie only bout that Tom Reed ever had with McMillin while the latter was in the chair. In later days, when Reed became Speaker, McMillin returned the compliment with interest. While Mr. Crisp led the opening fight against Reed's ar1 bitrary methods in counting a quor um under general parliamentary law, McMillin proved an able lieutenant. After the- adoption of the rules he made them his study. He was prob ably as well versed in them as their authors. While they bound the mi nority hand and foot, they were equally binding upon tfteSpcaker. Mr. Reed did not always recognize this. The instant he overstepped the bounds he found McMillin upon his back. With fair play from the Chair, the Tennesseean always drove him back, but he was never assured of fair play. The Speaker would take the floor from under his feet by transferring his recognitions, or would ignore him entirely. Many a fight did McMillin make with his right hand tied behind him. He knew the value of time, and utilized every second allowed him. A case in point was the Judiciary bill as moulded by Senator Eva.rts. It provided for the appointment of nine additional United States Circuit Judges. The Committee on Rules forced it through the House under a special order. The report was made after the fall elections. The Reed rules gave the Democrats twenty minutes after the previous question was demanded, 'provided no discus sion had preceded the demand. To cut off this twenty minutes allowance Tom Reed recognized Joseph Can non, who made a few remarks before demanding the previous question. He acknowledged that he did so to rob the Democrats of the time allow ed them. Reed, ruled that his re marks amounted to discussion, and was about to put the previous ques tion when McMillin indignantly pro tested. He said that it was a ques tion of increasing expenditures and a proposition to care for' the dead ducks in the House. "It is the fore, runner of divers other bills," ln shouted, "intended to bleed the Treasury, now that you linger suj p ftous on the stage after having been defeated." There was tremendous applause from the Democrats. McMillin pro tested so strenuously against gagged that Cannon derisively "I will yield the gentleman minutes, so that he may gel al bile off his stomach." McMillin promptly accepte time, although neither just nor petng said : three I the 1 the suffi- cient. Never was three minutes bet ter used. He showed that under the special order no opportunity for amendment was allowed. Mistakes were sure to follow. The House was told by the Committee on Rules that it was not fit to govern either the country or itself, and that the com mittee itself intended to govern both. Mark the sequel. McMillin prov ed a prophet. The bill was crowded through the House, under the special order, without amendment. After it was signed by the President, and Congress had adjourned, it was found to be so loosely drawn as to be utter ly inoperative. It upset the calendar of the Supreme Court ami raised Ned generally. It provided that the Judges should be appointed by the President, with the advice and con sent of the Senate. As Congress had adjourned, the advice and consent of the Senate could not be obtained, and the President could not make the appointments. The Constitution ens powers him to fill only vacancies, and in this case there really was no va cancies to fill. Whether this Tennessee horse wins the Speakership stakes or not he will always maintain a high posi tion upon the racing calendar of poli tics. He has served for years upon the Ways and Means Committee; and in the last Congress was a member of the important Committee on Rules. His associates in Congress know his worth. The people themselves ap preciate it, for he is as well known personally to the country as either Mr. Crisp or Mr. Mills. He has spoken in nearly every State east of the Rocky Mountains, and hasuever refused to answer questions or ex plain a proposition. Amos J. Cum mings in New Yorlr Sun. A Wonder Worker.

In the field of discovery ami inven tion, medicine has not kept pace with surgery. That perhaps, is natural ; service surgery is the. mechanical branch of medicine. The general ac ceptance of the germ theory of dis ease, however, opens a new" field for medicine, and will take it completely away from the mediaeval superstitions that still cling to its skirts. And yet medicine is not without its discoveries. It has long been known, and the tact is now recognized wherever the test has been made, that Swift's Specific (S. S.
