HEROES MONUMENTS.
Bills That May Not Become Law by
Congress.

Not long since the Senate committee on
library reported a number Of bills provld-
ing for the erection of monuments for GER
tain distinguished heroes Of the past or 10
commemorate battles fought IN the revolu-
ton or early Indian wars. These monu-
ments are to be erected in the states where
the heroes distinguished themselves or ON
battle fields where glory was achieved AS
a consequence they will not be seen by
many people. only by those who live in the
neighborhood or those whose patriotism
leads them to make pilgrimages to these
places. But still the monuments are not
built, and just because the bills have been
reported does not mean that they will final
ly become laws Even II they pass the
Senate they may have trouble in getting
through the House. In fact these bills have
