In the Debate Over the New PEN

Congressman Mcclellan, Son Of
the Noted General,
OPPOSES THE BILL,
And is Smartly Raped for His
Opinions.
kirkpatrick Of Kansas Speaks
for the Bill.
OPPOSES THE BILL,

Washington, april Reconsideration
of the Picker general pension bill was
resumed in the house late yesterday
afternoon and Mr.. Mcclellan, Dem. y.
V spoke in opposition 70 the measure
as intended as a Republican sop to
the soldiers and a reflection on the ad-
ministration Of the pension laws by
the present executive officers.
The best the majority could do for
the old soldier, was to bring in this
bill. which proposed to put upon the
pension rolls the names of bounty
jumpers and men who had deserted
from the ranks of the confederacy.
Mr.. Smith (Rep. MIch.) opposed that
section which provides for a dfscon-
tinuance of pensions for mistake OF
fact or recovery from injury"
Mr.. Wood (Rep. ND favored the pas
sage Of the bill, with several amend
ments.
Mr. Talbert Dem. s. C)was parti-
cularly opposed to that paragraph per
hitting the deseFters from the cOnfed-
crate army to draw pensions.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick Ctep. Kan-) thought
the Dill was step in the right dtrec-
ton
Mr.. NIahaney. (Rep.. N. V supported
the bill and remarked upon the strange
sight Of a son of Gen. George 3. Nc
CleIlan standing on the floor of the
house opposing justice to the men
whom his father had led to battle.
Mr. Mahaney then turned his atten-
ton to the good taste of confederates
opposing pension legislation. He said
that SIX years ago he had witnessed the
reception given in the senate to Mr.
Reagan of Texas and postmaster gen
erai Of the southern confederacy. as he
today witnessed other ex-cOnfed erates
in the house like the gentleman from
South Carolina, blocking pension leg

GORMAN on CAMERON.
The Former Thinks the Latter Not
Presidential Possibility.

Washington, April 24-Concerning
Don Cameron's presidential possibility
as the head Of the Democra tic ticket,
Senator German says that it is prac~
tically an absurdity.
majority Of the Democratic con
ventions may adopt a platform, but it
takes two-thirds to nominate a presi-
dent and vice president. When Frank
lin Pierce was nominated by the Demo
cratic convention Of 1852 the south pros
posed the two-thirds rule, which was
adopted, and has ever since prevailed.
Buchanan, Douglas, Mcclellan Sey~
mour, Greeley. Tnden, Hancock ana
Cleveland-the latter three times
We're nominated by two-thirds of the
delegates in the Democratic conven-
tons This is practically a determine
ton that the Democratic president
elect must always be stronger than the
platform.
Tt is inconceiva bic that Don Cameron
could receive two-thirds Of the votes
Of the delegates Of the national Demo
cratic convention and therefore, his
nomination Is out of the question

tilted that the anonymous letter writ

Washington, April 24-Bishop Gaines
produced a sensation at the Baltimore
conference of the A. N. e. church
when, after devotional exercises, he
told the ministers that all who used
whisky or were guilty of any immoral

they would know the cause.
He further said that his church had

last night with a mass meeting in AL
lens Opera House, in the course Of
which President Eliot of Harvard Sc
verely arraigned the foreign policy Of
President Cleveland and his fellow
townsman, Secretary Olney- The per
sonalities. which President Eliot utter
ed in curt measured terms, were so
pointed that they melted q. decided SEN
sation. He began by referring to the
criticism Of a Harvard graduate upon
the assembly as inopportune- The
country had been surprised and dis
couraged at the immense war spirit it
had encountered, he said.
He spoke Of the increased inhamma-
bility of multitudinOus populations be-
cause of the press, and went on.
I'VE have seen the phenomenon OF
men employed as cabinet officers who
have absolutely no experience in pub
lie affairs.
This has introduced into public af-
fairs a. new danger, the danger of mex
perience, bringing men from the tu-
multuous, contentious profession of the
law into the cabinet offices.
There has recently been an importa-
ton from Europe of an idea utterly re-
pugnant to as, a modern notion called
.jingOism.
