THE ExREBELs. THE ARMY PENSIONS,
AND THE CENTENNIAL YEAR.-Mr. Will
liams OF Wisconsin, in his speech in the
House advocating the restoration of the
southern soldiers of 1912 who took part in
the rebellion, to the pension rolls. re-
marked:
Sir. we have been admonished to remem-
Der the good feeling of the Centennial
year. Well. we think we have some inter-
est in that as well as our friends on the
other side. for we fought hard and sacri-
feed much TO reach it. Could they had
their way there would never have been
any Centennial for this nation to celebrate.
But. s:r. we doubt not but that they come
to the Centennial as we do, with joyful
hearts. and we meet them without
one vengeful feeling left. All we ask is
that all over this land the era of the return
of good feeling shall be real; that every
citizen, even the humblest. shall be pro-
tecte1 in all his rights; that sectional feel

There is considerable unpleasant criti-

associates on the committee for discharg-

Danforth. two republican members OF the
committee. 1t is freely charged that the
democratic members desired Marsh to es-

The matter will be investigated.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says
The disclosure fell upoh Congress and
the people of Washington like lightning
stroke. There had been no preparation or
forewarning. There was no cloud in the
sky, not even as big as mans hand The
fact that the Committee on Expenditures
