THE MILLENNIUM
NEAR APPROACHES
Congressman Have Quit Waving
The Bloody Shirt.
DEBATE ON THE ARMY BILL
Was in Direct Contrast to Those of the
Past, and Little Acrimony was En-
gendered-More Reason Ex-
hibited Than Formerly.

Washington, February 1-(Special)-It
would really seem that the congressional
millennium had arrived. If one doubts that
the Spanish-Amerioan war has not healed
the breach between the two sections of
the country, he would have had only 10
come to congress and sit in the gallery for
an hour or two during the debate on the
army bill.
The question of the army Is one that al
ways brings to the front the narrow p. eju-
diced souls in either house who in the past
were wont to wave the red shirt with vigor.
One or two peevish fellows. from Pennsyl-
vania have attempted to get some notoriety
out of the debate after this old fashion,
but their efforts met with signal failure
When some alleged orator attempts to
draw invidious distinctions between the
north and the south in matters of patriot
ism the house has groaned in its disap-
prevail. Not only do the democrats attest
their disapproval in this way but the re-
publicans as well.
The pension bill passed the house this
year with a half hours debate, and the
army bill was given three or four days only.
This was over the protest of the democrats
who anted a week at least for the discus
sion of this momentous question. But the
important point is that during the debate
there has been very little bitterness shown
and scarcely any sectional feeling devel-
oped. Even when two old war herses such
as Colonel Cox, of Tennessee, and Colonel
Benjamin Marsh, of Illinois, got to wrang-
ling, the house merely treats these conten-
lions with good humor.
Xaf in ho or ttun rY,ata m. no.
ing members of the committee on military
affairs always fought to a finish with the
republicans and democrats cheering them
respectively.
The military bill always brought them
to their feet, and the house annually looked
for these fights. the star parts allotted to
these two during the year. This year they
got no applause from the galleries and, in
spite of their own tragic feeling when the
the debate began, their sparring soon be-
came ludicrous and each laughed in the
end, and for the first time in years let the
occasion pass without calling each other
hard names
The bill from the military committee was
discussed this year with less heat and with
more reason than any bill from that COM
mittee since the confederate war The lead
ers have all taken occasion to pay a tribute
to the south and deliver some eulogy upon
its valor in this war; The democrats have
hung tenaciously to the debate and fought
every inch, but throughout the hoe there
has been an evident lack of bitterness.
There has been more of it between the re-
publicans themselves than there has been
between democrats and republicans.
