4 PENSION SESSION.

Washington, March 9.-rhe first day
pension session OF the House provided
Tor under the new rule adopted yes
terday proved great success. There
was comparatively little friction, and
ninety-seven bills were favorably act
ed upon In committee of the whole,
and subsequently passed by the House.
The only incident was Il brisk ex-
change between Mr.. Loud of Califor-
mia, and Mr.. Sulloway, of New Hamp-
shire, upon the general policy of spe-
cial pension legislation, In which the
former attacked and the latter defend
ed the system.
When it was moved that the House
go into committee of the whole TO con-
slider private pension bills Mr.. Tall
bert, of South Carolina, true to his
announced plan. made the point of no
quorum. The Speaker was unable to
count more than ZIG members present
and the doors were closed and call
of the House ordered The presence
of us members resulted and the COM
mittee began its proceedings.
Mr.. Loud in his remarks asserted that
% per cent. of the special bills passed
by Congress should never have been
favorably considered. All of them had
been rejected by the Pension Office. OF
the million and n quarter old soldiers
and widows OF old soldiers who sur
Vived the war almost one million were
on the pension bills. Congress was still
lcgislating for cases arising out of the
revolutionary war. Mr.. Loud said he
had never objected to It meritorous
case.
Mr.. Sulloway of New Hampshire.
chairman of the Committee on Invalid
Pensions, replied to Mr.. Loud. He said
he gloricd in the fact that his country
paid more than any other country for
the care of those who defended its nag.
While single old soldier was hungry
ana cold his body wrecked with ply
steal plain and his mind with mental
agony, he said he prayed to God that
the pension roll would increase.
At 1850 D. m. the House adjourned.

A PREPoSTERoUs IDEA.

Taking issue with Senator Foraker's
contention that Citizen" I'm the Paris
treaty merely meant 4 person owing
allegiance to the government, the SEN
ator said that in that sense the adop-
ton of the thirteenth amendment to
the Federal constitution made every
freedman 4 -citizen.=4Yith SOC, 600 Amer
lean citizens inhabiting an American
island less than 1000 square miles in
extent. he said it seemed preposterous
to say that their country is not an
integral part of the United States, and
being SO, we must tax and govern
them In accordance with the Federal
constitution.
Mr.. Lindsay considered decisions of
the Supreme Court which were relied on
to show that the constitution ex proprio
V1gore follows the flag. but said the
question raised by the treaty of Paris
never had been before that court
He suggested 1t was not the business
OF Congress to make cases for the SUI
preme Court, and rs an Independent
and co-equal department Congress
should decide primarily what its con-
stitutional powers.
The doctrine that the constitution Of
the United States follows the flag. and
that no country to which title may be
acquired, whether by treaty or con-
quest, could be held and governed 9TH

LIGHTS WANTED.

Editor of Nirginian- Pilot:
The residents OF Montlant avenue
wish to inform the town authorities
that they would like to have little
better system for lighting up the neigh
borhood. The lamp on the corner of
Lee and Montiant avenues is out half
the time. and is, if we may say that 1t
is, nuisance instead of n benefit And
furthermore. think there is as goodly
a lot of taxpayers in this part of the
town as can be found in Berkeley pro-
Der. and hone the authorities will
have little consideration and give us
better light in the future, and n little
better protscluon to the neighbors In
this vicinity. A KICKER.
