There is not so much intense acri-

bill. as the reader would ordinarily
suppose. 1t is not an uncommon thing
foe senators to say very severe things
against each other on the floor of the
senate. and then go to the senate res
taurant. and take lunch together in a
most cordial. friendly and neighborly
manner. One day recently when Sena-
tor Chandler. of New Hampshire, was
speaking. he taunted the democratic

debate. because whenever a republican

Senator Harris, Of Tennessee, the
democratic tariff leader, Immediately
arose and said: .'The democratic sem

chamber, because they expect to miss
nothing of value while the senator
from New Hampshire holds the floor"
Half an hour later, Senator Chan
dler and Senator Harris were at lunch,
chatting and laughing cheerily. as
schoolboys on frolic. These states
men are peculiar products Of the
genius of American citizenship. They
seem to have dual natures. consisting
of sense and nonsense. They do a
great deal of superior legislative work,
but they are sometimes as playful as
kittens. in their remarks. observations
and witticisrns. 1t is an education to
sit and listen to their oratory; and it
is species Of culture to associate with
them and observe their peculiarities
and eccentricities. They are all men

Of purpose in life. They represent the
best elements of their several sover-

tSpcCidi Letter
There is bill pending before the
house committee on military affairs,
the reading of which carries the mem
DRY of middle-aged men and women
back to an exciting period of our ma
tional history. The bill was introduced
by Congressman Erdman. of Pennsyl-
vania, and is as follows:
WHEREAS, on July 2a, 1861, the house
of representatives passed the following
resolution: Resolved, That the thanks
of the house are due and are hereby
rendered to the five hundred and thirty
soldiers from Pennsylvania who passed
through the mob at Baltimore and
reached Washington on the 18th day of
April last for the defense Of the ma
tional capital Therefore.
BE it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
Of America in congress assembled. that
the secretary of war be. and he is here
by, authorized and directed to procure
a silver medal. with suitable devices.
TO be presented to each of the several
officers and soldiers. and the families
of such as may be dead. of the five COM
panies from Pennsylvania. viz: The
Pottsville National Light infantry, the
Pottsville Washington artillery, the
Reading Ringold artillery, the Lewis
town Logan guards and the Allentown
Allen infantry, who were the first to
reach Washington city for its defense
on the 18th day of April, 1861.
''Sec. 9. That the sum of five hundred
dollars is hereby appropriated out Of
any funds in the treasury, not other
wise appropriated, for the purpose of
carrying the foregoing act into effect"
Whether the bill can ever be enacted
into law or not nobody can tell: but
It is stimulus to the memory of many,
and will convey a lesson in history to
young readers The civil war had just
begun. The national capital was
threatened from the south. 1t seemed
impossible that relief could come from
the north, because the city of Balti-
more obstructed the natural highway
with mobs and throngs of excited and
excitable people. Just at this juncture
the young men from Pottsville. Read
ing, Lewistown and Allentown made
their way into Washington. as the ad-
vance guard of the hundreds of thou
sands of blue-coated citizen soldiers
who were yet to come. Immediately
following these Pennsylvania boys
came ''Halsteads Horse" of New Jer-
sey. a battalion Of dragons afterwards
known as the First New Jersey cav

preparation bills to consider In com
mittee and to report to the senate. All
OF these bills involve the necessity for
a great deal of prudent and painstak-
ing work. so that it will be practically
impossible for congress to adjourn
within four or six weeks after the tar
if bill is out of the way"
Inasmuch as the tariff bill is not
likely to become a law before July. it
may be anticipated that the congress
will remain in session until the middle
of August.

The Nicaragua Canal Scheme.

A number of bills are before the sem
ate and house of representatives in the
present congress. as they have been be-
ceding congresses. for the benefit of
the Nicaragua Canal company. One
bill. which is reported as an exceeding
ly important one, was introduced by
Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, and it pro-
vides: That the capital stock of the
Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua
shall consist of one million shares of
one dollar each and no more" The bill
provides that this enormous sum of
money shall be covered by notes issued
by the United States identical in de-
nomination and legal tender qualities
with the United States notes commonly
known as greenbacks. Speaking of
this matter in the senate during the
Fifty-second congress, Senator Davis,
of Minnesota, graphically characterized
the entire Nicaragua canal scheme as
an effort Ito induce the United States
government to take mortgage on an
earthquake"
A number Of capitalists and skillful
lobbyists have intense personal interest
in the Nicaragua Canal company, be
cause its prime object is to greatly en-
rich a few at the expense of the many:
while at the same time it pretends to
be urged upon congress for purely pa
triotic purposes There are = great
