STORM IN THE REICHsTAG.
Denunciation of Socialism Resented
by Herr Bebel and Others.

Dy hcrF beDel ana OtnerS.
BERLIN, March 23.-In the Reichstag to-
day a question was asked regarding the
publication, without authorization, in jan
uary last, by the Voerwarts. OF the amnesty
decree. The Minister of War. General Bron-
sart Won Schellendorf, replied that Socialist
workmen had been induced to steal il by
their Socialist tenets and. therefore. social
ism connived at theft. The General then
proceeded to deliver an indictment of the
principles of the Socialists and cited num-
ber of cases in support of his assertions
He declared, for instance, that Herr Bebel,
the Socialist leader, had frequently allowed
the Reichstag as the mouthpiece of gross
untruths. His (Bebeps) assertions of arbi-
trary conduct and injustice in the army,
said the General, were unfounded. The
and attacks. Cheers from the Conserva-
tives and uproar on the part of the Social
ists.)
Herr Liebknicht replied that the abstrac-
tion Of the amnesty decree was a harmless
act.
The Minister of War pointed out that the
publication in the miGdle-class press of
drafts of bills which could only be obtained
by breach of confidence was in every way
reprehensible.
During the course of a stormy debate on
the subject which followed. the President
of the ReichStag, Baron Won Buei-Beren-
berg, frequently called Herr Bebel to order
for violent language. The latter asserted
ers OF the amnesty decree was biased and
accused the Conservatives of surprising
rascality. Baron Won Hammerstein and
several Conservatives followed They
lies and then exaggerating the result The
debate was adjourned.

ONLY A TOY WHITE HOUSE,
but 1t Furnished Lots OF Comfort to
the Governors Force.

Affairs at the Governors office were very
quiet yesterday. The office force. took life
easy, dreaming Of the good time which is
coming or else not, when Mr.. Matthews
shall be President and they can lounge in
the easy chairs of the White House. Word
was received that the Governor is improving
slowly in health. The rosebush, which was
planted at the time Mr.. Matthews's boom
was commenced, looked faded, as If weary
of the dismal March weather. The bush has
bIoomed we'll and Myron King is credited
with saying "Ah, if the boom blooms half
so well as has this rose. we will be satis-
fied.
Jack Merriweather sat, yesterday, looking
at the rose and its blooms and thinking of
the boom. He had no work to perform and
the consciousness of duty unperformed could
not disturb him. Aimlessly and half me
chanically Mr.. Merriweather looked over the
exchanges, arranging the scrap book of the
Matthew's press bureau. His hand fell upon
a colored piece of cardboard, given by
Sunday newspaper The colored piece of
cardboard had printed on 1t, In the most
hopeful of colors. the White House. He was
pleased and bright smile played about his
Nermilion county mouth. The picture had
lines marked out, directing anyone who
might SO wish, now 10 cut out the figures
and set I'D the White. House with it's sur
roundings. Finished, the affair would pre-
sent toy design of the mansion OF the chief
executive of the land. Mr.. Merriweather
was not busy, as has been said. so he took
the scissors of the Matthew's press bureau
and began TO work carefully on the card
bard
Mr.. Merriweather worked for fully an
hour and then he saw standing before him
the aim of al his dreams There was the
White House, with its drives, its high fence
and with people standing dummy-like on the
walk In front. The piece made a very pretty
representation Mr.. Merriweather eyed the
handiwork of his patience and clapped his
hand, musing TO himself:
II have brought the White House right
here. If this BIT OF pasteboard were but the
real thing, how quick would i put it at the
feet of Mr.. Matthews"
Mr.. Merriweather was so pleased that he
called Mr.. King.
do you see?" exclaimed Mr.. Merri-
weather.
The White House is within our reach at
last" Mr.. King is alleged to have an
swered, as he put one foot in the air and
jumped as if pleased.
"Myron;" SO the story goes. lis that true
Very good" so Mr.. King is said to have
replied, and then laying mis- hand on Mr..
Me-riweather's shoulder he continued:
| Have patience, my young friend, and you
Will yet climb those marble steps you see in
the picture"
The stories which they told at the State
house concerning the miniature White
House are cruel, but among them il is
mentioned that Mr.. King and Mr.. Merri-
weather joined hands and danced about the
little. White House. All during the day the
people came as usual TO the Governors Of

House. Ii rests on the mantei-always- In
