McLaurin's Plain Talk.

Speaks of the Patriotism of the Mas
ses and Scores the Men Who Want
the Bond Issue.
Washington, May 19.-Wbile sew
eral important paragraphs in the
war revenue measure were passed
over today for future consideration,
excellent progress was made by the
senate in the consideration of the
bill. Two thirds of the measure have
been read, the committee amend
ments generally having been agreed
TO.
Mr.. McLaurin Dem of South
Carolina opened the discussion Of the
bill today with carefully prepared
speech touching all of its features.
He was ready, he said, to vote for
any measure that would tend to
bring the war to a succe ssful ccnclu-
sion. People on the island of Cuba
are dying every hour. Their con-
dition is beyond the power of des,
cription. Every day now means the
loss Of hundreds, perhaps thousands
of lives, in Cuba, Mr.. McLaurin de-
clared. Liberty on the island is at
stake and the war has placed our
national prestige at stake.
Concerning the proposed issue of
bonds, he said that there was an
influence at work in this country more
powerful than the President, more
potent than congress. Il was the
silent, secret influence of the money
power which was endeavoring to
force an issue of bonds. Once the
senate, the forum of the people.
yields to this clamor, Mr.. McLaurin
declared, and becomes entagled in
the meshes Of the money octupus,
the people will suffer indeed.
"There is an army in this country"
said he, lust as anxious to raid the
United States treasury as our volup-
teers are to raid the island of Cuba.
To the army I refer to, no volunteers
are needed. These jobbers and
spectators form a greater menace to
US than the war with Spain"
Mr.. McLaurin defended the bill as
reported by the majority of the
finance comittee and hoped that
with the possible exception of the
stamp tax which he deemed unneces-
sary, the bill would pass as reported.
He strongly urged the adoption Of
the proposition to issue legal tender
notes. 1T is the dealers in futures" :"
declared Mr.. McLauriD, "the fnan-
cial spectators and cormorants, the
transportation companies, the manu-
facturers Of ammunition who make
money out of the war Upon
these the financial burdens Of the
war sought to fall and not upon
tie families of the menwho go
to the front to fight for their cour-
try"

Pilgrimages to some shrine Of st.
Vitus, to cure the disease known as
St. Vitus' dance are no longer made.
The modern way of treating this
affiiction is within reach of every
household, as is shown by the exper-
ience OF Karl A. Wagner, the eleven
year old son of George Wagner, OF
SIS 9th St., Arkansas City, Kan.
The father tells the story as follows:
"Over a year ago." he says, 'Karl

continued to grow worse during FIVE
months be was under physicians

and we could not understand a word

Flag-Raising and Point Shooting
Yesterday

The Sacramento Rifle Club members
had a great time at their range near
the American River yesterday 1t was
the clubs practice day at point-shoot-
ing, and was also the occasion Of a
fiag-raising over the newly erected
clubhouse. The building is 25x50 feet,
and is very conveniently arranged for
shooting at the targets, and has a
raised platform for spectators.
Patriotic speeches were made by Cap
tain Frank Ruhstaller William Lampert
and e. Schmidt. AS the flag went up
1t was saluted by volley from the
rifles Of the members, and then three
cheers We're given for the Stars and
Stripes.
There was a delegation present from
Woodland, as guests Of the club - o.
Slater, f. Luck, H. Luck, ]. Rath and
T. Gibson, who took a lively interest in
the affair
The point shooting was at a 12-inch
bull's-eye divided into three points, the
inner three-inch circle counting 3, the
next six-inch circle counting 2 and the
remainder of the black counting 1. Out
side the latter circle was a blank.
Twenty shots constituted a score, at 81
per man.
At the end Of the days shooting the
money was divided into points. The
greater number of points was made by
E. Schmidt, with $50; best 20 shots,
William Lampert. SO points.
In the evening the club members, led
by Captain Ruhstaller, E. Schmidt, NJ.

and kill my amendment, and thus de-
feat the whole bill.
think the bill as perfected by my
amendment was a just, reasonable and
business-like disposition of the ques-
ton.
l am somewhat surprised at one
statement Mr.. Mcguire makes. He
says: BY the acceptance Of the terms
Of the Act all the collateral obligations
of all of these people to the Govern
ment would be wiped out forever"
I know that in the excitement Of his
speech, made under the circum-
stances which existed when Mr. Ma
guire made that speech, a person is
sometimes led to say things he would
not deliberately say. Any one who
will read my amendment will see at
once that the statement above quoted
is not supported by the facts, for the
amendment on that subject, ex-
pressly provides: Nothing in this Act
shall waive or release any right, lien
or cause of action already held by the
United States"
I submitted my amendment contain
| ing the above question, TO Mr. Ma
guire, and at his suggestion the word
iiSHt, WHICH Is IOuHQ Inereln, was
put in. The sole object of this part of
| the amendment was to save to the
Government all obligations held by it,
| and the Act so expressly provides. If it
| does not save all obligations to the
Government it was his fault as much
as mine. / think all rights, liens and
causes of action are preserved
| l am perfectly satisfied upon the
record and the facts, to submit the
| matter for the Judgment of the people.
