The resolution of Representative Bixey, of Virginia, Introduced in the national house of representatives, to open Fed eral homes to ex-Confederate soldiers, was discussed in that body Tuesday. Mr. Otey (Virginia, took issue with his colleague (Mr. Kixey) regarding the method of relieving needy ex-Confederates. He proposed as an alternative proposition that the money in the treas ury to the credit of captured and aban doned Confederate property be distributed ten per cent, annually to the Confederate homes in the south. lie declared that the day would come when monuments would be erected In the national capital to Lee, Jackson, Stuart and Forrest, not as rebels, but as grand and great Ameri cans. Mr. Otey, who said he himself, glo ried in the fact that he had been a rebel soldier, convulsed the house repeatedly with amusing stories illustrative of his arguments. Mr. Gardner, as an ex-Union soldier, said he sympathized with the spirit that sought to take care of our own, and predicted that the time would come, and at no distant day, when tbe homes for disabled veterans, built and maintained by the common government, would be opened alike to needy soldiers, whether of the Union or the Confederacy. His expression of the sentiment that it was better to care for the destitute than care for the graves of the dead, immortal though tbey might be, was greeted with a round of applause on the Democratic side. He spoke of the better feeling en gendered between the sections by the Spanish war, and said that since then whatever differences existed among tbe people of tbe country had reased to exist as sectional, and notice had been served on the civilized world that in any future war with the United States the whole country mnst be reckoned with. Mr. De Armond, of Missouri, thrilled the house with a talk. He said when a man like Mr. Gardner could rise above the petty bickerings of today and forgetting the animosities of the past remember only the valor of his countrymen and express such sentiments as he had, Mr. De Armond said he hailed it as the dawning of a brighter and a better day. For Peace In Central America. Managua, Nicaragua, Jan. 15.

Mr. Editor: Man can destroy, In five minutes, what nature has taken years to make beautiful. This sentiment was called forth this morning by seeing that my favorite shade tree had been muti lated, by authority of the town officials. so that it will never more be an ornament to our street. I bought this tree paid for it and think that I ought to have been consulted as to the manner in which it was to be trimmed. Why not come into our yards and trim up our magnolias Rich'd. H. Lewis. P.

For the first time this session the fhilinnine auestion appeared in the eegiaii and the interest which was taken indicates that it will occupy the attentlcjh tf the upper branch of congress for some lime when the tariff bill Is reported. The Philippines were tbe subject of an addiess by Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, who fpoke on his resolu tion introduced yestexday providing for tbe appointment of L donate committee to investigate thel administration of those Islands. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Hoar's colleague, said that he rega the resolution as Philippine corn a reflection on tl mittee, of which he ea chairman, and said his committee wfis perfectly able to handle any investigation which might be conducted. Mr. Cargjack (Dem.), agreed with him. The discission was leading rapidly to an opening up of tbe whole Philippine question when it was agreed that the question should go over until tomorrow. Mr. Mason, of Illinois, made a speech in favor of reciprocity with Cuba and discussed the protective policy generally. Mr. Hoar claimed that we ought to have some reliable iuformation regarding the war in the Philippines, which he characterized as a "painful controversy During the civil war, he said there was a committee which reported upon their responsibility the facts which were needed for the senate and for the country There are many things about which the public bas been in doubt, as, for Instance, the statement appearing in the public press and twice made in the senate that Agulnaldo bad sold out nis countrymen "We want to know who promised the inliplnos independence," be insisted "Some charge that Dewey did, and Dewey says they lie and the matter was allowed to stop there. Was it worth wbileforus.hecontinued, to be considering these great questions whicn involve tee propriety and good faith and integrity)! our dealings with these unfortunate people in the matter of their liberty when we were in the dark? He said he wanted to know something about the character of the Filipinos; he wanted Gov. Taft to come before a senate committee where hecould be asked questions "Who began the war which is still go ing on?" he asked. "There are those who will tell you about what happened on a certain night when there was an attempt to pass our pickets by some Filipinos and a scuffle, and an outbreak and an appeal to ns by Agulnaldo to desist from hostilities; that they did not want war; and our answer was that tbe war was folng on and could not now be stopped, he senator from Wisconsin (Mr. Spooner) had stated in the senate as his reason for not adopting some things that were proposed that we would be making assurances of pacific intention to men with arms in their hands fighting against tbe American nag, but tbe president had given to a military commander long be fore an order to proceed to reduce the people of the Philippines by military force to submission. General Otis said that would bring on war and took the liberty of suppressing it and instead told the people that they should have all the rights of liberty that belonged to tbe most favored people on earth. The original proclamation bad been sent by the president, "but," said Mr. Hoar, "is it not an act of war to or der a military officer to use military force to subject a people? I do not know of any one able to give a statement of the truth as to the differences between Gov ernor Taft and General Chaffee. I get some dreadful stories from brave soldiers and officers of high rank about the man ner in which the war isconducted. I have heard of an investigation now going on in regard to one transaction, which, if true, has covered with a foul blot the flag which we all love and honor. 1 think there should be a place where any sena tor who makes such a suggestion in his official responsibility can go and say 'I want two witnesses on that subject brought here and then we shall know.'" General Otis had shocked tbe country by saying that we should keep 40,000 troops in the Philippines for a considera ble time, but instead of that number we have 70,000, and Mr. Hoar asked how long were we going to keep them there. "If General Chaffee la right." he said, "there la not a man in those islands who la not conspiring against tbe government and eager for bis liberty. Now give us a little light. Take the moat xealous men In this body and give us a committee that will hear the evidence, put questions, hear both side and let us know what la tbe truth. We are engaged in the unholy office of crushing out a republic, the first neat republic ever established In the Eastern Hemisphere. If we had dealt with this people aa we dealt with Cuba, we should have had today a dvftaed, haDDT. Deaceful republic sendlna their youths to our schools, studying our laws, imitating our example, animated by a love and affection and a gratitude such as no one people on earth ever yet feltfor another." . - One of the great events of history, he said, was the civilization of Japan. An other was the adoption of the Declara tion of Independence. Japan has just celebrated the fiftieth anuiversary of tak ing ber place among free nations at which the declaration bas been made that ev erything that Japan was she owed to the United States, and yet in half a cen tury she has encountered China as a eu peri or and Russia as an euual. That came, Mr. Hoar said, from tbe application of a world power that he should like to have Ills country exercise; that came from the application, to the af fairs of modern life of the great doctrine ol tbe Immortal declaration. "I rio not believe," he added, "that tbe character of my countrymen has changed, and that thin people are only to go on in a career in which they are to wipe out hope." Mr. Lodge urged that the resolution be referred to the Philippine commission, of which be is chairman, and that if the senate saw fit to charge that committee with any question pant or present, tbe committee was competent to deal with it. and would deal with it honestly and effectively. If, however, the committee contemplated by the resolution was ap pointed, he said, the reason for tbe exist ence of the Philippine committee would cease. Mr. Hoar replied that all he wanted was that there should be somewhere a tribunal to take evidence ou these ques tions, as far an practicable. Mr. Carrnack (Teun ), while In entire accord with the resolution, saidtht these matters shou'd be handled by the Philippine committee. The necessity for an investigation was apparent, he said, because there had been a constant joint debate between the civil and military authorities In tbe Philippines ever since we came into possession of tbem.

If the committee ap proves it, the plan will be made effective in time for the nomination of city and county officers next spring.

Agree to Give. One-Tenth of Their Income to The Church. Atlanta Journal. The board of deacons of the Baptist tabernacle, numbering twenty-three per sons, have set an example to the 900 odd members of that religious body which If the latter were to follow would result In a banner contribution towards the church. These officials have each avowed their determination of paying into the treasury of the church and towards tbe cause which It represents one-tenth of their several Incomes during the present year. This literal interpretation of tbe command of the Holy Writ has found favor already among others of the flock and an organization la now under way which will adopt the plan.
