Gen. Grovenor's Ready wit.

Washington Post: Gen. Grosvenor's
ready wit in debate has already become
proverb!al, and the only surprising
thing about him is that never for a
moment, when on his feet, can members
find him mapping. This was the case
yesterday. The grim old NonNof Ath-
ems" was making a speech in behalf OF
the war claims, under consideration,
and undertook to locate the blame for
delayed payments where he thought it
belonged-with the Democratic party.
He began to read O. column Of statistics
showing just how much money past
congresses had voted towards the pay
mert OF this class OF claims and. when
he reached the Fifty-second congress,
declared that the Democrats OF that
body voted to pay only 1891.
Representative Richardson, OF Ten
nessee, often called ""S,im Jim," inter-
posed an explanation. Don't say the
organization" said Mr.. Richardson in
correcting Gen. Grosvenor. II was
with you in that congress Insisting that
these claims should be paid"
But you were not the organization"

house was in an uproar Of laughter,
but hope some time IN the providence
OF God you may be-"
Si'Silver Dick" Bland. of Missouri, then
took up the cudgel against Gen. Grosve-
nor, and In behalf of the Democrats Of
the Fifty-second congress. Don't yo,,
think that the Democrats had many
difficulties in that congress?" he asked
aggresslvely.
You always have difficulties" came
back the answer quick MS flash. You
were born in difficulties" and "Silver
Dick" walked back to his seat. enjoy

Love may be weakness, but it knows

has called forth much unjust criticism.
Winfield Tribune (Dem.): Governor
Leedy will need no defense for the posi-
tion he has taken, for as soon as the
people understand what his duties are
in regard to raising the quota OF Kansas
troops they will indOrse him. This war
Is not an insurreCtiOn, but war against
a'fOreign foe. Congress has passed law
authorizing the President to call for vol
unteers, and In this call recognized that
the National Guard could not be called
out to fight foreign foe, but he merely
recommends that the militia be given the
preference in enlistment. In this Gov
ernOr Leedy followed instructions He
is not required to call out the National
Guard, but furnish a certain number of
able-bodied men. Any militia company,
IL the members can pass inspection, will
be privileged to enlist and retain their
organization. II majority of the COM
pany is filled with volunteers that ma
jOrity may or may not select officers of
the company. This same difficulty con-
fronts the militia of all the States, and
the crack regiment Of New York refuses
to volunteer unless the men are assured
their present officers will be retained.

Erie Sentinel (POp.): A greenback

Minneapolis Review (POp.): The re-
port is that Spain Is forcing young boys
IA years old into service. This seems to
us one of the most horrible features of
war. Think of our men going out to
meet boys in bloody battle, children only
half grown. 1t seems as II Spain Is
badly pushed for soldiers and still more
lacking in humanity to push little boys
into the jaws of death, as one eminent
soldier said 'forced into the very jaws

selfish, arrogant tyranny upon the Gu

that of being poor and lovers of freedom
