May There Be Happy Reunion of all

May There Be Happy Reunion of all
You Loved Here.
From loved one in dear old Middle
Tennessee comes the sad story of a
noble life gone out, leaving sorrow and
broken hearts behind. Robert w. Nc
Lemore, the loving husband, indulgent
father, true christian, chivalric south
ern gentleman, and best of friends, after
a long and useful life "has passed over
the river and is now resting under the
shade of the trees" AS one who knew
and loved him we'll, would that had
the power to express the feelings of my
heart in this great calamity. The sor-
row and bitter anguish / felt as the
message was sent me from his dying
lips, az would be so glad to see my sol
lfer boy once more before l am called
home."' And oh how the heart strings
quiver-she eyes grow dim with tears
and can almost see his manly form in
deaths struggle. And as think of his
dear wife and children, and what he
was to them, feel that / could have
died for him. l think Of the dear,
grand old home at "Everbright" and
what home it was-father, mother
sisters and brothers, not link broken
with no cares upon them except their
suffering Southland, the scenes of war
and carnage. The home of wounded
Confederate soldiers, and where the
writer almost unto death was nursed
hack to life by this dear family,
"a Confederate Soldier" was the pass
word which threw open wide his doors
and brought loving hearts and un
wearied attention. Nothing was too

GREAT DEAL OF MONEY
Lost in the Organizing of Telephone
Companies,

Lost In the Organizing of Telephone
Companies.
The press dispatches In referring
to the closing of the three banks in
English, Marengo and Leavenworth
state that "the triple failure is even
worse than was at first supposed. 1t
is now estimated that the syndicate
that CONT oiled the banks has sunk
not less than 100000 in various
deals. A large amount of money
was lost in the organizing of tele-
phone companies which were to
furnish service to small towns in
Southern Indiana. Nine township
trustees lost all the public money
in their possession. Under the
State law the stockholders are liza
bic for the full amount Of their pri-
vate estate, and the depositors are
assured that they will receive some
thing. Three fourths of the faIni-
lies in this comfy have been af-
fected by this failure and hundreds
OF honest men cannot pay their
debts. The failure of the Haugh-
gey Bank at indianapolis or the
crash or other banks several years
ago are not to be mentioned in the
same list with this failure here.
Conservative men say this Is more
than a failure-it is calamity"
The indications are that the stock
holders in every bank in Indiana
and Ohio suspected of dabbling in
the telephone craze will demand a
rigid investigation regarding the
value of the securities given.
Referring to the foregoing, it is
just as well to speak plainly. Too
much indiscriminate, loose hand
ling of depositors' money has been
indulged in by many of the bankers
in recent years. Specializing with
the hard earned money of deposit
tors has caused many suicides, and
untold distress.
There seems to be a craze going
over the country to establish tele-
phone exchanges, in opposition to
the old, established, powerful and
we'll intrenched companies, that

HOW THEY DO In CONGRESS-.
Public Money Paid Through Courtesy to
Unnecessary Employees.

Unnecessary Employees
The following extrscts from the Con.
greSSioRal Record of February 20, 1897,
shows how the public moneys are wasted
on favorites whose services are not
needed. The deficiency appropriation
bill was under consideration in the
House of Representatives, when a long
discussion arose over items propos-
ing to pay a number Of persons whose
employment was not authorized by law
and was therefore subject to a point Of
order on that account. Most Of the
details of the debate we omit, desiring
only to show how the thing is done:
The Clerk proceeding with the reading
Of the billy read as follows:
To pay Charles Carter and Harry Parker, for
caring for subcommittee rooms Of the Com
mittees on Appropriations and Ways and
Means, SIS each, $3.50.
Mr.. Sherman: Mr.. Chairman, raise
the point Of order against that item.
Mr.. Cannon: l do not think it is sub
iect to the point of order. 1t is an
appropriation that has been made for
many years in these precise words, and
for the precise purpose, and for services
actually performed.
Mr.. Sherman: Why does it not come
in the regular billS
Mr.. Cannon: Simply because it is cur
rent law, and has been appropriated for
for many years.
Mr.. Sherman: Why does it not come
in the legislative bill instead OF in the
deficiency?
Mr., Cannon: Because it has always
come in the deficiency bill.
Mr.. Sherman; Well, / do not think
that establishes its right to come in the
deficiency bill. If it is matter which
should have come in the legislative bill,
why, it should be appropriated for there
and not in the deficiency bill. insist on
the point Of order.
Mr.. Cannon: The Chair can rule.
The Chairmsn The Chair thinks the
point of order is we'll taken,
The Clerk proceeding with the read.
ing Of the billy read as follows:
TO pay Robert A. Sickney for services rem
dered in the Office OF the Clerk OF the House OF
Representatives from January o, 1896, to March
4, 1897, inclusive, $lSS3,84.
Mr.. Cannon: l shall not make the
point of order on this item.
Mr.. Sherman: Iraise thepoint Of order
against that item, Mr. Chairman.
Mr.. Cannon: Icsll attention to the fact
that the item is subject to the point of
order if the preceding item was.
Mr. Sherman: | desire to raise the point
of order against it,
Mr.. Grosvenor: should like to have
the gentleman state the facts about this.
The Chairman: Unless some law is
produced authorizing it, the Chair will
assume there is none.
Mr.. Grosvenor: | understand this man
to have been regularly employed by the
Clerk Of the House, and that he actually
performed the services in the file room.
Mr.. McMillin: But the question sub.
init to the gentleman from Ohio [Mr.
Grosvenor is whether the Clerk had the
authority to make this employment.
Mr.. Grosvenor; Yes; think SO.
Mr.. McMillin: There is no such au-
thority, I think.
Mr. Tracey; Mr, Chairman, desire to
The advocate., 1897-04-28


that at the first session Of this Congress
resolution was offered and referred to
the Committee on Accounts, embodying
the matters stated in this paragraph.
That committee made an investigation
and determined against the resolution,
and reported it adversely to this House
in June, 1896, and the report Of the
committee, adverse TO the resolution, was
ratified by vote Of the House. Hence
there cannot be any existing law under
which the appropriation is asked.
The Chairman: The Chair will sustain
the point Of order, and the Clerk will
read.
Mr.. Cannon: Now Mr.. Chairman
The Chairman: Does the gentleman
desire to be heard on the point of order
Mr.. Cannon: No.
Mr.. Grosvenor: Did the Chair rule on
the point Of orderP
The Chairman: The Chair did rule;
but if the gentleman desires to be heard,
the Chair will hear him.
Mr.. Cannon: l do not desire to be
heard now. want to say word on the
merits, and will when we reach another
paragraph.
The Chairman; The Chair suetains the
point Of order.
But members were not satisfied and
continued the discussion. Mr.. Tracey
made further explanation, as follows:
Mr.. Tracey: Now, will make little
further statement in order that the
matter may be more clearly understood.
When the resolution was originally re-
ferred to the Committee on Accounts,
we made an Investigation. l made the
larger portion Of it myself, l talked
with the Clerk of the House, and
talked with the Journal Clerk and with
the file clerk. l ascert8ined first that
there was a man detailed to do that
work originally, and that after he had
been there three months he was taken
away and that then this young man
went into the Journal Clerks office.
After talking with the Clerk Of the House,
and after being told by the Clerk Of the
House that he had no authority to en-
ploy him in that capacity, he said that
the work was there to be done, and if
he cared TO do it he could do 80. That
information comes from the Clerk Of the
House to me. He went in with that
understanding.
Mr.. Cannon: Mr.. Chairman, by unan-
imous consent I would like few
minutes touching this and kindred
items.
There was no objection.
Mr.. Cannon: In the last Congress, in
the Congress before shat, in every Con-
gress shat I have served in, there have
been at least one-third more employees
than enough to do all the work. We
have not cut them off, we are not going
to cut them off, whichever party is in
power. The employees are around, they
render themselves personally agreeable,
and in this House Of Representatives we
desire to accommodate each other and
to accommodate the employees without
reference to which party dominates here.
Let noe call attention to few facts.
Here in the document room they had
enough employees to run the business Of
that room without Joel Grayson, but
they did not do It. He was appointed.
You al understand who hs u. In sheer
