that is necessary to pay every gooC
claim that ex- Union soldiers have upor
the government, but they do object t.
the raids inaugurated in the name OF
those veterans by just such agents as
those who were shown up by Senator
Plumb in the very act of trying to
secure money under false pretenses.
There are many such concerns in this
city, and some of them have found
their business so profitable that they
employ hundreds of clerks. A number
of them have literary attachments, and
publish so-called newspapers which
they distribute free of charge. These
publications do contain matter of inter-
est to ex soldiers. but at the same time,
they more than generously advertise
the Industrious gentlemen who issue
them. The whole business is scandal
should have been inquired into
long ago. Its probing will show how
many of the 'movemeDst" which result
in the development of new pension
schemes originate, and how they are
doomed. 1t is fortunate that the pen
sion committee, which will inquire into
the matter, is set on by such staunch
IL
Democrat. If it does its work we'll. it
may break up as disreputable class of
business as ever f1ourished within the
law.
Washington did not suffer much by
being cut off for q number OF days from
the outside world.
1T WAS THE WORST STORM
that the city ever received visit from,
but as this is by no means CONNER
cial town, and as the wide streets pre-
vented snow blockades, there was COM
paratively little loss from business
standpoint, and Likewise cut little suf-
fering. The only complaint that Wash
ington can really, in view of all the
facts, make in equity is that they were
not cut off from Congress. But they
will not. for some time, boast OF the
mild and equable weather which pre-
walls here during the winter months
At least they will not do so if any of
the four hundred and more Canadians
who spent ten days here are around.
The Canadians were excursionists, and
got here three Gays before the blizzard.
Those three days were balmy and
spriDg-ike. They were suggestive of
green grass and leaf-covered trees.
Compared with these ethereal mildness
had but little show. The Canadians
were delighted. 1t was a revelation to
them. They praised the city and they
praised the weather. They were in
great spirits as was Cardinal Wolsey
when in the hey-day of his glory. But
to them, as to WoIsey, there came 4
chilling frost" Etherealness sud
denly decamped. and the great north
west wind accompanied by snow and
all the disagreeable concomitants of q
blizzard came right in at the front door
without knocking.
EVEN THE CANADIAN
got cold; and what was worse they
could not return for six days to their
homes, which they began to look upon
as winter resorts. From praising the
city and its weather they took to
swearing at both. When they finally
got away they were still grum bling. but |
all of them freely admitted that they |
had had great deal of climatic ex-
perience III very short time.

the whole of a days session of the

taking advantage of that mistake.
that Mr.. Blackburn has received for his
demolition of Mr.. ingalls,. He is daily
in receipt of letters commencing what
be did on what is so far the day of this
session. These letters come from all
parts of the country, while if Mr.. In
gals has, as they say in the dramatic
received "a hand" no one
knows it but himself. His coudensna-
ton seems to be as universal as Mr..

the reason that report is in

Who fought for the Union, while he, to
uote Mr.. Blackburn, was judge advo-
ate of the volunteer militia defending
Kansas jayhawkers who had been ar
ested for robbing hen-rOosts." There
8 no probability that the report about
DR. ingalls, is true. He doubtless sees
he error of his ways, but has no inten
ion of publicly mounting the stool of
epentance. The man who would make
uch speech as Mr.. Ingalls, made is
srdIy the man to apologize for it even
O an universally outraged public senti-
cent.
The proposition to dismember Idaho

5000 square miles, may be added to
