Popular OongrcssionaI LerislatIon.

The present Congress has, We believe,
done but one thing for which it has re
ceived the com mendRtlon OF the press
throughout the country regardless OF
politics or sectional interests The
newspapers, as we'll as the people, ap
prove Of the bill appropriating Sii 3S4 p
6l3 for fortldcatlons along the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts. Tais bill was passed
with very great unanimity by the House
and will undoubtedly become q Law by
the action Of the Senate. II carries with
it a large appropriation Of public money,
but the necessity Of strengthening our
coast deienees has come to be thoroughly
understood since other powers OF the
world possess iron clad naval vessels that
can knock down our old-time defenses
and blow our cities to pieces. while re-
naming at safe dlstancs from the
land.
At present our only defence against an
attack from the SEA lies 10 our iron clad
vessels. We do not doubt tho efficiency
OF these but they were not intended as
coast defenders, and, even II they were,
there are not enough Of them. The time
for universal peace among the nations Of
the world may be Fastening forward, but
It has not yet come, and 1t is the duty Of
the government to defend It's coasts from
the devaststlons OF war. Our sesboards
are lined with cities that at present are
unable to protect themselves from a
foreign foe Cities that would pay mil
lions in ransom rather than be subj soted
TO bombardment.
We have never believed with reass
tlonsl newspapers that Spain would
under any circumstances passus the
suicidal course Of declaring war against
this country. But suppose. for Argu
ment's sake, that broken down and
bankrupt nation should attempt what
has already bsen threatened, to send her
ships Of war into our hRrbors to capture
and destroy Que cities and towas. Is Il

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

The Grand Camp Of Confederate Vet
eraus OF Virginia, at its session in Win.
chester last night decided that in fu-
ture all camps must pay their capitation
tax before they are allowed representa-
ton in the Grand Camp. The capita
ton tax on subordinate camps was re-
duced to > per cent for the year 1897.
1t was determined that no action be
taken in reference to the model for the
Davis monument.
The Grand Camp declined to recon-
mend to subordinate camps the aboli-
ton of military titles Of their officers.
The body also voted down a resolu-
ton 70 prevent Confederate Veterans
from being members of more than one
camp within its jurisdiction.
The history committee made very
interesting and elaborate report through
its chairman, Colonel James n. Stubs,
and recommended "The History Of the
United States" by Rev. J. William
Jones, and the History of Virginia and
Virginians," by General Dabney H.
Maury; also, the appointment of a com
mittee by the Grand Camp to secure
legislative appropriations in establish
ing schools OF history in State universe
ties, and the committee further recon-
mended that copy Of the rolls of Yir-
ginia soldiers and sailors now in posses
sion of the United States government
at Washington be made at once, and to
that end that efforts be made to raise
the sum of So 900, through the efforts
and under the direction Of the subordi-
nate camps, and that Gov. O'Ferrall
be requested to supplement this
amount, when raised, with the sum of
- 900 from the contingent fund; also.
that Colonel William ?. Smith, of r.
E. Lee Camp, No. l, c. ", be selected
as the person who shall be placed in
charge Of this work. All of the recon-
mendations of the history committee
were adopted by the Grand Camp.
