memory of these gentlemen in this or

The bill passed the Senate and then
took a Rip Van Wrinkle nap Of over half
century, and the memory of the two
Revolutionary heroes seemed destined to
be honored alone on the records of his
tory and in the hearts of grateful
people who didn't have u vote in Con-
gress.
On January 18th of this year Senator
Butler of North Carolina, introduced a
joint resolution to appropriate $1,000 for
the erection of suitable monuments in
honor of the memory of Generals Nash
aud Davidson. In pushing the matter
before the committee he found it neces-
sary to dive deep into the historic lore
of the Congress of a date when the Re-
public was in its infancy, but this work
was well done and the resolution was
passed by the Senate and sent to the
House. In the Committee on the lib
rary of the Hounse Of Representatives
Amos J. Cummings of New York,
proved an able champion of the measure
and has made favorable report to the
House on the resolution. A strenuous
effort will be made to call up the bill
before Congress adjourns, and it is
very probable that the Iify-hfth Con-
gress will place to its credit the pas
sage of SO meritorious a resolution.
