PRITCHARD'S HALF TRUTH.

Senator Pritchard has the happy tact
of stating only what will help his side
of the controversy. In defense of his
Deserters Pension Bill he has said every
stoned men who were forced into the
Confederate army against their will ana
that they always intended to join the
Federal army at the first opportunity. A
person hearing him speak would suppose
that his bill limited pensions only to that
class. AS a matter of fact it does moth
ing of the sort, but pensions every man
who deserted the Confederate army, no
matter when, where or for what cause
the only requirement being that he
should have served ninety days in the
Federal army. One never would gather
that from Mr.. Pritchards speeches.
Several attempts have been made to
pension deserters. The House was will
ing to pass a bill provided that none
should receive pensions who served more
than one year in the Confederate army,
enlisted after June /, 1865, and coupled
with other safeguards. Senator Pritchard
says the House "emasculated' his bill.
When Senator Mitchell asked Does the
amendment simply provide for the pen
sioning of those who went into the Con-
federate army under duress?" Senator
Pritchard said: There are no exceptions
made. 1t gives pensions to all who were
in the Union Army and served ninety
days" He vigorously opposed any sug-
gestion to limit the pensions to those
who went in under duress, thus opening
the way to pensions as wide as a barn
door. And yet in his speeches in North
Carolina one would suppose that his bill
gives pensions only to those whom he
says lived in caves, slept on the cold
ground in the mountains, and endured all
manner of hardships rather than fight in
the Confederate army: and when the
Union Army invaded that section of the
country they were there, ready and will
ing to take up arms in defense of their
Government" There were, no doubt, some
such men, but Mr.. Pritchard would not
let the pensions stop with them. He
wanted it to embrace also those who de-
serted in the hour of the Confederacys
day of darkness, and all others who went
over for any cause. Why does Pritchard
defend q portion Of the men who will get
pensions under mis- bill, and not state
the whole scope of a measure that the
State Confederate Veterans Association
has denounced in the strongest terms In
rot one of his speeches has he even re-
ferred to the resolution of censure adopt
ed unanimously by the Confederate Vet
er9ns' State Association 1t would be
giving the whole truth about the matter
if he would read it in his speech in
Greensboro and also read the ringing
words of Gen. Julian s. Carr properly
characterizing it.
During the debate in the Senate, Mr..
Gallinger chairman of the Pension COM
mittee, told Mr.. Pritchard that there
would be objection to his bill in the
House if he pressed it as an amendment
to the pension bill. That shows that
Pritchard vas notified of opposition to
his pensioning deserters.

For some days there has been per-
sistent rumor that Hon. Chas. M. Sted-
man, of Greensboro, would enter the race
as a candidate for the United States
Senate. The Greensboro papers say that,
while Major Stedman has had strong
pressure from many friends to enter the
race, he has decided not to do so. All
the other candidates will read this with
pleasure. Major Stedman is one of the
FIRST men in the State and would worthily
wear the Senatorial toga. He has ability,
character, popularity, industry and Is a

At a meeting of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee of Guilford county
today it was decided to accept
the challenge for a joint debate
between the candidates Chairman
Douglass received the challenge
some days ago from Chairman Scales and
this afternoon notified Mr.. Scales that
the challenge was acceptable. Senator
Pritchard's control of every minutia OF
Republican conduct is remarkable when
it is seen that although Chairman Scales
issued this challenge some time ago, IL
was not answered until the Senator came
here, and probably gave the word to ac-
cept it. Mr.. A. B. Horney of High Point,
who was nominated for county commits
sioner at the Republican county conven-
ton recently, has notified the executive
committee that he cannot accept.

Middleton Called on for an explanation,
Blackburn said he thought too much OF
the Confederate soldier to permit him to
clean out spittoons and the like. The
only trouble about that explanation is
that it is not correct. Laborers are en-

mental work. DOor-keepers do not per-
form any such duties. Try again, Mr..

Nothing 70 SHOW Why the subway Laberer
Should he Detained.

Edmund McGrath, the laborer whom
Coroner Solomon Goldenkranz had arrested

sion. apparently on general principles and
who was committed to the Tombs under
$4,000 bail on the supposiion that he
might have had something TO do with the
explosion. was taken before Justice Glider
sleeve Of the Supreme Court yesterday on
a writ OF habeas corpus. An Assistant
District Attorney wanted an adjournment
OF the case, but wasn't able TO show h
there was any reason for OBTAINING McGrath'
Justice Gildersleeve discharged him
McGrath appeared in court In the earth-
smeared jeans In which he was arrested.
He looked furitively about, as u expecting
something else to turn up. The writ had
been obtained by Lawyer X. W. u. yelling
on papers showing hat McGrath was EN-,
ployed on another section OF the tunnel
by another contractor than Major Ira a,
Shaler and that McGrath was about two
hundred and fifty feet from the exploding
magazine and on his way TO a Toulouse.
He was knocked out by the explosion. ~.
He said he knew nothing OF the cause OF
the explosion and supposed he was arrested
because he was evidently a workman IN
the subway. When he began TO pull HIM
self together afterward he felt for IS cents
which he had In an inside pocket. II was
missing. He Assumed IL was blown away
At any rate he wasn't able to apply II on
the $1,000 bail. The only Inconvenience
of the crathur." His wife, he said, had
tried 10 sreak In a drop for him, but she
was caught at II, and he had remained
without a drink.
