to note the difference in the notes.

from underground on the ridge, and saw

THEY had the usual row i'll the House
last Friday over special pension bills, and,
as usual, Talbert, of South Carolina, made
himself obnoxious, on account of his OBJ
structive tactics. Representative Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, drew the deadly multi
plication table on him, and showed that as
| the sessions of Congress cost about $1,000
| an hour, Talbert's obstructiveness had
cost the Treasury more than the amount
Of all the private pension bills that had
been passed. Talbert read an ill-con-
sidered letter from Capt. A. J. Knowles,
list Me. III. A, North Bradford, Ne, pro-
testing against the Congressional Pension
Mill"
The plain facts are that if the Pen sion
Bureau was properly administered there
would be little need or excuse for Congress
passing private bills. All that should
come before it should be exceptional cases,
not covered by the laws. The Grand
Army of the Republic has always been
opposed to private pension bills, holding
that the laws should be so construed as to
give proper relief to worthy applicants, and
that all should be treated alike But so
long as the Pension Bureau is conducted
as at present, it must be expected that a
host of claimants will seek relief from Con-
gress. and that those who have the most
political influence will secure place in the
limited number which the Speaker assigns
to each member in each session. The remedy
consists in putting in a Commissioner of
Pensions who will properly execute the
laws, and then for Congress TO refuse to
consider any but very exceptional cases.
The National tribune., 1900-04-19

Capt Lea Febiger, 33d U. S., who has
been doing such splendid work as the head
of the Department of Streets, Sanitation,
Parks and Fire, of Manila, is a son Of q
veteran--Capt. Febiger, of the Navy, and
grandson of Admiral Febiger. When he
was appointed he found himself in charge
of city of 100000 inhabitants, all more or
less horribly dirty, and unsanitary in their
habits, and with absolutely nothing that u
city of that size should have. The Spani-
ards had maintained pretense of a fire
department, but it was scarcely more than
pretense, and the cleaning of the streets
had become an "afo de war; memory.
The Spaniards of the city were the filthiest
of the lot, and the dirt they had accumulated
in the courts of their residences was ap-
palling. One of Capt. Febiger's first
annoyances was the Spanish custom of
every man squeezing those below him
out of a portion of their pay. He kept at it
until he succeeded ia abolishing the prac-
tice. and securing to every man the whole
OF the money that he earned.
