NO BEER FOR OLD SOLDIERS

New York Sun: The vote in the
house on Mr.. Bowersock's amend
ment to the sundry civil appropria-
tion bill excluding any state or terri
torial soldiers home in which a
canteen is maintained from a share
of the appropriation settled the
question o! restoring the canteen to
the army, so far as the Fifty-ninth
congress is concerned.

1t was the plea of MI. Gardner, of

should throw Haround tie old SOL

and make the evening OF his life one

If the house could have been con-

have needed the following admission

and after going in there and making
q diliRent search for all of these
things that you complain OF, I came
to the conclusion that the canteen.

ity Of every soldiers home there is
. hive Of low eroggeries selling the
vilest stuff that was ever put in

soldiers repair when denied the

Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota, cited the
