DOlNGs IN CONGRESS
Discussion n the Senate on the
Treaty Que estlon.
TiIIntan Snsaks PLAINLY.

After almost allowing the amend
ment to the urgent deficiency appro.
pr1ation bill providing for loan Of
s4,6OO,o0O to the st, Louis Exposition tc
go through without any discussion
whatever, the Senate wednesday
changed its tactics just as the vote
was about to be taken and entered
upon debate on the loan provision,
which continued for about four hours,
ana which was still in progress when
tne Senate adjourned fer the day. The
DEBATE was precipitated by a point OF
order made against the amendment by
Mr. Bailey, who supported his point
with speech based OH the theory that
the national government was not, as
suGh, concerned with the success or
fa,lure of any exposition. He was sup
ported by Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Eikins,
Willie speeches were made in support
OF the amendment by Messrs. Hale,
ALLISON, Cockrell, Spooner, McComas
and others.
Z Mr. Tillman said lie wanted To say
something on this loan or gift" the
latter he thought, as it was not likely
tflat the government would ever get
back. in the course of his
remarks he said South Carolina had
had share of the steal that had
tbTn secured by other cities and he had
helped to get it. What he meant was
that this expenditure of money was
unlawful and unconstitutional.
"a aMr. Spooner remarked that the Sen
atpr from South Carolina had put him
self on record as participating in a
stSal.
@FWhat I mean,' declared Mr.. Till
min, "is that when Congress takes
money from the people and gives it
away for eXpositions it amounts to a
sttal. What want to know is how
far A we are 10 go and how much longer
w are to participate in

Yes, steal," said Mr.. Tillman. de.
iantly.
;Mr. Bacon said that IS he intended
q vote for the amendment he did not
want the impression to go out that he
vas N Inc wrong. He thought the ap-
ropriatfon proper one. In reply to
.squestion from Mr.. Bailey he said
lat abstractly he did not endorse the
l1nciple, and that If the practice of
giving aid to eXpositions was now be-
ns initiated he would oppose the prac.
iie. But in view of what had been
lpes in the past he considered 1t not

Appropriate to the Day.

To the Christmas dinner let us
bring every good and wholesome
thought, kind hearts and the spirit Of
happiness. Let us call to us at that
hallowed hour the memory Of loved
ones not with us now, whether they
be dead or living; let us give
thought to the wayward, to the pris-
oner, about whose very cell the broad
charity of to-day twines a piece Of
holly; to the sick who lie on hospital
beds at this hour; to the men in
khaki who bear the flag in our far.off
tropic isles. and who may only dream
tonight of the snow and home cheer
they cannot share; to those on the sea
in peril among the winter storms of
lake and ocean; to the babes just
breathing the first breath of life,
Christmas gifts indeed for pale. happy
mothers; to the aged who realize that
Christmas and death are coming very
close together about them; to the men
who labor in our great forests where
the snow banks up high among Gods
own Christmas trees; to all, men and
women and little children, shut out in
any way from the cheerful glow Of the
home fire, or who, having homes, may
have but little fire to burn.
