Several of the Senators take daily maps
on the lounges in the cloak rooms, says the
Chicago Record. Generally about three or
four o'clock in the afternoon the lounges are
all occupied by the sleeping statesmen, some
of whom snore 80 loud that the doors have
to be closed that the rumble may not be
heard in the galleries. The champion snor'
err is Senator Coke, of Texas. He makes
the windows rattle when he is doing his
best But Mr.. Davis, of Minnesota, is not
far behind him, and when Mr.. Stewart, OF
Nevada, rolls over on his back, as he some
times does, the pages creep in quietly to
listen, for be sings a peculiar song in his

has a high tenor with funny rattle. When
they are both going it at their best speed on
lounges side by side, the duet is worth hear

Gen. Jno. ID. Gordon Discusses the Corey
Increment.

In the United States Senate on Thursday
the Allen resolution to investigate the alleg-
ed police clubbing on May l came up and
Mr.. Gordon took the floor. Looking at the
Coxey movement, he said, from the South
ern standpoint, it would teach wise lesson.
It's inspiration was paternalism, that theory
of government which, if INDUCED in, would
increase the large brood of similar move
ments in the future and intensity their de-
mands. 1t had had its origin in a great,
central, populous, wealthy State, justly no.
ted for its intelligence and its devotion 10
law and order, The divisions of the move
ment were moving upon Washington from
oil sections of the country save one. Every
section of the country save one was turning
a listening ear to Coxey's appeal. That
section was the South. The fact was mar
yelous for its isolation; monumental in the
lesson it taught. This was not due to an
absence of poverty in the South. The South
was still poor it had not yet wholly recov-
cred from the condition in which it was LETT
at the close of the war. 1t was not the
abundance of currency in the South that
accounted for its freedom from Coxey move
ments there was a great dearth of money
there. 1t was not the presence of great ma
tional projects for internal improvements.
1t was not that the South was supplied with
pensions and bounties. The Southern peo-
pie, impoverished by war, were rightfully
denied pensions. Their loyalty was not pur-
chased by bounties They had grown up to
look upon the government as the child OF
the people, not their master; their paid
agent rather than their employer. They
would give it their full quota for support as
they would give their blood for its defense
The South also had negro labor, happy
contented, with few wants. The war and its
lessons had taught the South through the
bitterest of taskmasters the necessity of re-
lying on manhood, not government. Thai
was the lesson the country should learn anc
heed Mr.. Gordon then branched off into
discussion of the remedies for present con
dtions which he found in the decentraliza'
ton of power.

enlivened, as much as state visit may be,
by the following incident: The king enter
ed Dublin in an open carriage drawn by
eight splendid horses, and attended by a
number of grocms and footmen in magniii-
cent liveries. He was in military uniform
and constantly took of his hat, smiling and
bowling to the people, who enthusiastically
cheered him. At one point man close to
the carriage stretched out his baud to the
king aud said:
"Shake hands, your majesty"
The king shook hands heartily. The man
waved his hand and called out:

One of the incidents related by General
Gordon-and one that was appreciated and
applauded- that of the Maine regiment
at Appomattox that, at the command OF
their colonel, presented arms as the starved
and ragged Confederates marched by them
to give up their arms. Another story was
that of Yankee" who was appealed to
by dying Confederate to pray for him
how, with tears running down his cheeks,
he called to party of his comrades: Boys,
here's Johnnie wants me to pray for him,
aud you know l don't know how t. pray
worth a -; you all come here and help ("
Remembering incidents like these, occur
ring in the heat and bitterness Of the con.
test. it is almost incredible that there are
people who insist on keeping up the ill-feel-
ing Of a war that ended thirty years ago
General Gordon is one of great many
brave men who fought so well while the
struggle was in progress that they could af-
ford to lay down their arms when it was
over, aud by word and example he has play
ed an honorable part in making peace be-
tween the sections once opposed.

Not long before his death, says the Phil

the participants and two or three others
He never told it himself Southern girl
with small revenue from inherited land
was about to lose it from foreclosure for
mortgage, taxes, etc She was too proud to
do anything herself, and lady in Philadel-
phia, herself a complete stranger to Mr..
Childs, concluded to state the case and ask
his aid Without word he advanced the
money and took no security, aud the girl
was saved from beggary. The amount adj
vanced was large Probably no one in
Philadelphia would have done such thing
but Mr.. Childs.

For those who are wasting their Sympathy
on the Coxey army in Washington we re-
produce the following from the Alexandria
Gazette "a New York member of Congress
related an incident on the floor of the House
Thursday morning going to show that the
Coxey "army" will not work, even if nee
essary for their own protection. The con-
dition of the grounds where they are en-
camped required trench for drainage pur-
poses to be dug. Two picks and three SHOW
els we're procured, and the men were asked
to begin work. One protested that he was
a tailor and could not do manual labor
Another excused himself on the ground that
he was carpenter. A third was brick
layer, and so the stories ran until finally
one man was found who confessed that he
was a plain everyday workingman A pick
was hastily handed to him. He went TO the
spot indicated and commenced digging
He worked ten minutes, the remainder of
the army watching him with grave in
terest. At the end of that time he threw
down the implement and said he'd "be
id if he'd work any more" He added
that he hadn't come to Washington to work,
and he made his declaration good by throw
ing up the job then and there The Incl
dent was told to the New York congressman
by one of the local physicians detailed to in
spect the Coxey camp, and is vouched for
as being true in every particular
