The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE.

AAS 0SA0SO
HOUSE.
Several private pension bills were
passed by unanimous consent.
The House soon thereafter went into
committee of the whole on the pension
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Picker rep, S. d. spoke at
length in eulogy of the soldiers of the
Union army and of their great achieve
ments, and lauded the "magnanimity"
with which the South was treated by
the commanders and leaders of the
victorious forces. In concluding, he
said | submit that the Union soldiery,
whose sentiment had been the main
spring of the "magnanimous action OF
this government toward the people
who had opposed them in battle, are
entitled to generous treatment, at least
Just treatment, from this whole nation.
And never until justice is conceded him
and his rights freely and duly recos-
nized, will there be that era of good
feeling and good fellowship among the
people of this nation which ought to
prevail. He said the revolutionary
soldiers, soldiers of the war of 1872 and
of the Mexican war were first granted
pensions for wounds and other disabili-
ties incurred in the service in the line
of duty, and their widows, orphans and
dependent parents of deceased soldiers
received the benefit of such laws. And,
after the lapse of years, service pen
sions were granted to all the soldiers Of
these early wars. To like recognition,
benefit and provisions the Union soldier
is entitled. He is entitled to it now.
In the course of his remarks while
quoting John r. Fellows upon the
manner in which the people Of New
York had received the $4,000 southern
ers who had gone to that city, since
the war, Mr.. Picker was interrupted
by Mr.. Boatner (dem. Lag who said
many northern men had come into his
district and been received in the same
spirit of friendliness and courtesy.
Some of the leading residents, the most
influential of his district, came there
in blue uniforms after being mustered
out Of the Union army.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3, 1894.
HEARINGS before the finance commit
lee of the Senate were in order to-day

there is little hope of the tariff bill 60

Vest failed to put in an appearance
this morning and the democratic mem
bership was represented by Chairman
Voorhees,, and Messis. Jones, McPher-
% and Mills, although the latter has
declined 10 act as q member of the
committee. Senators Morgan, Proctor
and Smith were before the committee
during the morning session and were
heard concerning the industries in
their respective States. The Wilson
bill will be changed, if for no other rea-
son than to provide sufficient revenue
and make the bill what Mr.. Hill says
It is not-a tariff bill for revenue only.

"You had better not say So" return
ed MI. Meredith, still advancing up the
aisle. A personal encounter was immi-
nent. Members crowded down about
the belligerents amid the most in
tense excitement and confusion. They
were both talking at the same time.
Finally Mr.. Meredith clinched his fist
and shook it under the nose of his adj
versary. By this time Mr.. Funk, who
had previously displayed no feeling,
shouted out something about standing
by what he had said. Mr.. Meredith
again assumed a threatening posture,
but the members who had crowded
around gently took him by the Shout
ders as if to prevent a blow from being
struck.
All this time Mr.. Cultivate, who
was presiding in the committee of the
whole, was pounding vigorously for or
der, but without effect, and Speaker
Crisp, who had been hurriedly sent for,
mounted the rostrum and assumed the
gavel, as he is allowed under the rules
to do when the House is in committee
of the whole in times of great disorder.
II undertake to say that you are not

he was backed down the aisle by his
friends.

ed back Mr.. Funk, who was held on
one side by Mr.. Doolittle and on the
other by Mr.. PAYNE, ''either here OF

The House recognized the hand Of the
presiding officer.
"The Sergeant-at-Arms will cause
gentlemen to be seated" said the
Speaker in firm tones. every gen
tlemen will be seated" he continued.
The assistant Sergeant-at-Arms rap
idly cleared the aisles and the members
resumed their seats. The excitement
Quoted down.
Mr.. Meredith walked back to his seat
and sat down.
After order had been restored Mr..
Meredith arose and protested, amid
laughter, that he was not excited, but
that gentlemen could hardly do here
what they might do elsewhere. With
this parting shot he closed his speech,
and Immediately the House, which
was at a high tension, on motion Of Mr..
,Sayers, took q recess until s o'clock,
the evening session to be devoted to
pension legislation.

Terrible Explosion.

SCRANTON, Pa, Mar. 3.-The barrel
mill of the Moosic Powder Company at
the village of Moosic, exploded this
morning with a force that was felt sew
eral miles in every direction. One man
was killed and two so badly injured
that their recovery is doubtful. The
explosion was terrific in its nature, and
did much damage to property. Every
window in the town of Moosic was
smashed, store fronts were blown in,
and general devastation marks the fear
full conclusion. In towns two miles
away the t%hunderous commotion broke
windows and ratified houses. In Moosic
numberless chimneys were also toppled
from roof tops. Women and children
fled in terror, and men ran excitedly
into the streets and toward the mills
to see the extent of the explosion.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. 3, 1894

GENERAL EARLY has joined his old
commander, and crossed over the
river and is resting under the shade of
the trees. He was true in war, and
what alas! is rarer, was true after
wards. He believed he was right when
he put on his sword, and that belief
was not changed by the fact that he
had to take it off. He had nothing but
hard knocks for the enemy during war,
and he asked nothing of them during
peace. He was sure of the justice of
his cause before he gave it his support,
and saw nothing in its defeat to weak
en- his convictions. But few of the
captains of the Confederate hosts
who have stood by their faith now re-
main. They should be cheered by kind
words and nourished by kinder acts,
until, they, too, shall have mingled
their dust with that of the men they so
often led to victory. The eyes of many
an x-Confederate will be moistened
when he reads of cold Jube's' death.

THE OLD and common sense idea OF

and, therefore, We're governed, as other
corporations are, by a majority OF those
who held stock IN them, and that people
who were not stockholders had no mor
right 10 interfere with their govern
ment than with that of railroad, bank,
manufacturing or anyother corporations
in which they bad no material interest,
But old things have passed away, and
now those who lay the taxes ON the
stockholders-the lot owners-for the
support of the town government, are
elected in large part by the votes, not
only of those who pay 10 taxes, but
many of whom are supported during
the winter by appropriations from the
tax fund, who have no interest in the
welfare of the town, and who, though
they may vote to-day to increase taxes,
may move away tomorrow.
