'Tn other words, you want government
ownership of railroads." interposed Mr..
Dalzell (Rep., Pa.)
az want to collect the government debt,
replied Mr.. Mcguire.
1--WE would better have government
ownership Of railroads than railroad own
ership of government" cried Mr.. Terry
(Dem., Ark)
Mr. Powers Rep., Vt.) chairman of the
Pacific railroads committee, denied that
he had stated earlier in the day that the
administration desired no further legisla-
ton. He alleged that the whole purpose
of those who were opposing the sale was
the government ownership and operating
of railroads.
1.-The gentleman has heard me to little
purpose for the past five years" interrupt
ed Mr.. Mcguire, 'if he imagines l de-
sire government operation of railroads.
1 am in favor of the government owning
the highways Of commerce, but not OF
operating trains. any more than wagons"
81 am glad the gentleman had made
his proposition more ridiculous than L
could" observed Mr.. Powers.
Mr.. Bailey Dem, Texas objected to
Mr. Powers statement of the position of
the Democrats. He said it was not a
question of sacrificing the governments
debt or government ownership and opera
ton of railroads.
ION this side" said he, 1--WE believe the
government can collect the debt, and, as
a prudent creditor that it should collect
every dollar of it,
Continuing, Mr.. Powers said he did not
believe the administration should be re-
quired to bid the full amount Of the debt
principal and interest. The officers of the
government had full knowledge and he
was willing to trust the matter to the
officials who had obtained every dollar
due from the Union Pacific.
At p. m, the houses recessed until 8
o'clock, the evening session to be devoted
to the consideration of private pension
bills.
During the evening session nineteen pri-
vate pension bills were favorably acted
on. including one of $50 per month to the
widow of Major General Mortimer d.
Leggett.
At 1890 o'clock the house adjourned I'M

Louisiana also has naval heroes.
Most of our troubles, in the early
days were in the other hemisphere.
In February, 1882, Commodore
Downes was informed that the Ma
lays had captured the Friendship, an
American vessel, hailing from Salem,
Mass, and that the Malays had bru-
tally treated the sailors. Commo-
dore Downes organized an expedition
from his own staff on the faghip
Potomac, headed by Lieutenants
Shubrick, Hoff, Ingersoll, Totten aud
Edison. The Malays made a desper-
ate resistance, but they were defeated
and some of their forts were de-
stroyed.
The Downes family were amoug
the earliest settlers of Madison par
isb, Louisiana, and colouized what
is now known as Mer Rogue (red
sea). Richard Chnrles Downes was
Parish Judge Of Madison parish, in
1888, and Solomon w. Downes, for
whom Downesville is named, was a
United States Senator from Lou
iSiana.

All Confederate veterans perhaps
remember the war cry Here's yer
mule!' 1t resounded from camp
to camp whenever a man on
horseback heaved in sight. 1t orig
mated, it is believed, in a sleepy
sentinel challenging and shooting a
mule, while on guard duty, under
the impression that it was Yankee.
"Put that in writing!' promises to
be the camp cry of the present war.
The first Texas regiment had been
ordered to Mobile and was stopped
at the one-gallus town of Goldsboro
by fool quartermaster stationed
there. The Texas Colonel had re-
ceived his orders from a higher au-
thority, and so told the quartermas-
ter. The quartermaster replied,
"there is no transportation" The
Texas Colonel, knowing the fellow
was lying, exclaimed: "Put that in
writing; I'll hire me train!" The
train was furnished. The Texas
Colonel then demanded two days
rations. He was told by the dude
quartermaster that none could be
had for several days. "Put that in
writingw exclaimed the Colonel,
"I'll buy the rations, and Uncle Sam
will pay the BILL" He got tho ra-
tons. "Put that in writingm is the
Texas war cry.

The Lexington (Miss.) Advertiser

The Lexington (Miss.) Advertiser
remembers with vengeance the out
rageous treatment President Jeffer-
son Davis received at the hands of
General Nelson A. Miles at Fortress
Monroe in 1865, and denouces the
doughty General and over-anxious
despot as a miserable coxcomb and
brutal tyrant." It is true the war of
the early sixties has long ago ended,
and we have all forgiven the hard
knocks given and received in manly
warfare, but it is hard for Southern
people to forget the insults and
brutalities of their enemies heaped
upon al old and feeble man in order
to glut their Unsuitable vengence upon
his people, whose honored chieftian
be hid been. The manacling of
Jefferson Davis, the Southern patriot
and American statesman and hero,
was Infamous and cowardly, and is a
foul blot upon American manhood
aud civilization. tits to be regretted
that General Miles is now the Com
mander-in-Chief of the Army of the
United States. Many Southern men
would perfer better man and soldier.

No More Passes,

The adoption of the Constitutional
ordinance prohibiting the giving of
free passes by railroads to public
offices, is a striking illustration Of
the fact that the members of the
Convention were different sort of
men from those who have been men,
bers of the Legislatures in this
State for twenty years past.
Repeated attempts have been
made since the adoption of the Con-
stitution os 1879 to secure legisla-
ton which would prevent the hui
initiating spectacle of judges of
courts, members of the legislature,
and other officials travelling over the
State with their pockets full of
passes. And these attempts have
been t1ippantly met and defeated by
overwhelming majorities of the rep
resentatives of the people; and this
studied indifference to the demands
OF the people in regard to this aud
kindred matters, explains the length
of the present Constitution, and
the many matters Of detail which it
contains, and which, under other
conditions, might we'll have been
left to legislative CONTROL Match

City Item: Naval experts demon
strated-on paper-that the Oregon
could not sail long voyage at high
speed. The Oregon demonstrated
-on water-that she could travel
$4,000 miles at high speed, and in
fifty-seven days.
The trip Of the Oregon demonstra>
ted two things: that is, that naval
expert does not know as much as is
claimed for him; and the other is,
that experience, such as Capt Clark's,
the commander of the Oregon, is
worth all the paper representations
. naval expert might prognosticate
from this time 10 the crack of doom.
As this war goes on, the expert
will slowly, but surely disappear,

Incompetent Administration.

A Washington correspondent of
the Picayune telegraphs, under date
of May 81:
The war policy of the Administra-
ton is an utter failure. Nothing is
being done.
From day to day promises of &C.
ton are made, but not carried out.
With troops ready and eager to go
to Cuba, not step is taken in that
The authorities do not know where
the Spanish fleet is and seem inca
pable of finding out.
Their plans are changed daily and
this state of things may go on indef-
initely. Every day it is announced
that the invasion of Cuba will begin
at once. This has been going on
for weeks.
The officials appear to be paralyzed
and entirely incompetent to cope
with the situation. What will be
the end of this disgraceful condition
of stagnation nobody knows.
The war should have been over a
month ago. No one doubts for a
moment that the regulars could have
taken Cuba within q week after the
declaration of war. It is serious
question what will become of the
country under such a weak and i'm
bncile government.
Everybody is Disguised and the
war enthusiasm is rapidly dying out.
It will be difficult to raise the new
levy of troops, for the men are dis
heartened.
In this connection, we quote tel
egram from Capt. Clark, of the Ore
gon, to the imbecile Strategy Board:
"Please don't tangle me up with in-
structions. I am not afraid of the
whole Spanish feet"

Chicago Chronicle: While there
may be feeble excuse for ''carpet
knights" in the military service in
time of peace, there is none in time
of war. Spanish bullets and camp
fever have not proved the lodestone
of attraction to these pampered sons
of rich or great men. There should
be no favoritism; all appointments
and promotions should be based
upon merit. The gayly caparisoned
scions of alleged American aristoc-
racy who have nothing but their
names to recommend them are mere
usurpers of place to which others
are entitled.

The entrance Of nepotism and po-
litical favoritism into the appoint
ment of officers in the army is both
crime and blunder. 1t is a crime
against the patriotic men who vol.
unteer in this war against the Span
iards. Pampered favorites, who no
doubt, would refuse to 60 in the
ranks, are given staff positions, aud
politicians, aud those with ''pullo
are made brigadiers.
