WEST VIRGINIA.
Experience of an Old Soldier in the Legis-


lature
EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: was elected
in the Fall of 1892 to the House of Delegates,
State of West Virginia from the First Delegate
District composed of Brooke and Hancock
Counties. known as the extreme northwestern
panhandle Of the State.
/ was new member of the House, and of
course did not have much to say. For the first
few days of The session kept my eyes and cara
open and tried TO learn how to mako laws TO
govern the people of the great State of Coal
Coke, Timber, and Iron. was not long in find
ing out that the most Of our time would be put
in in fixing mp jobs and appropriations to please
politicians, and fine job we finally made of il.
say We for we had to vote for the final pas
sage of the appropriation bill. not because we
thought it fair bill. but we thought if it did
not pass we would stay at the seat of Govern
ment some time longer, and make worse bill,
after all. than the present one.
We asked for the small pt'ance OF ST. 900 for
the erection OF a monument in honor of the
brave ard patriotic men of West Virginia that
fought On that memorable battlefield of Gettys
burg. and passed il in the House, but il was cut
out in the Senate by one unreconstructed rebel,
who said it should never be done while he lived
and had voice to defeat it.
An old vet could see very plainly that they
stood no show where the rebels had sjority.
They conld appropriate about $4,000 to the
Worlds Fair, but could not afford a small one
to perpetuate the memory of the brave men
who made it possible to have the Worlds Fair
in 1893 Can anyone imagine what condition
the country would have been in had the result
been different? Aud We have majority of
men in our Legislature who, at this late day,
do not respect the flag of our country-ths
greatest Nation on tho face Of tho globe.
i must explain why l think they do not re-
spect the flag of our country. At the Inaugu
ration of our Governor on the 4th of March
last, there was not sign of the Stars and Stripes
visible in the Capitol at the head Of the
parade of the State militia. You can imagine
how few of the old vets felt at the insult, as
we considered it, to the dear old flag that we had
carried on so many hotly contested battlefields
We felt the insult to the flag as much as we did
the cutting out of the appropriation for the
monument at Gettysburg.-AN OLD SOLDIER

Two California Representatives..

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: notice that
Congressman Camminetti aud Geary, from this
State. voted for the pauperizing amendment to
the pension law, forbiddng tho granting or
continuance of a pension to any person whose
aggregate income reached or exceeded 81 600.
If either of those beauties had announced on
the stump last Fall that they intended to cast
any such vote, the majority would have been
on the other side in their districts 1t is we'll
known that Camminetti, while a Democrat
so-caled, is under the railroad monopoly
wing-his mentor being one Dana Perkins.
But from Geary we did not think it possible
that such vote would come. Both of these
gentlemen talked very sweet to the old soldiers
in their districts. Geary got more than 1000
Republican votes, aud Camminetti got all that
were in the railroad shops where Dana Perk ms
plays detective. The railroad managers here
are all bond-holders and natural haters of
soldiers psnsiOns.-VETERAN, San Francisco,

In Boston's swell circles there is . family
whose butler has given to it a unique position.
Michael had not been in Boston very long be-
fore he became imbued with the classic learn
ing Of the Hub" and he Immediately put
his learning to use. Mrs. Marblehall was to
give reception, and of course. Michael stood
at the door. One by one the guests came in,
and Michael announced the names very dis
tincty. But, at last, Mr.. Foote and his two
daughters came in. The butler looked at the
guests and hesitated. He rubbed his hands
against his forehead and mustered courage to
speak before the crowded guests, and in a
sepulchral voice he cried: "Gr. Foote-and-
the Misses Feet 7"
