Senator Hepburn of Idaho, n
only member of the senate who seems
disposed to1renew the War Between
the States, broke out IN the senate
again last Monday, and he goe
sGuashed in good fashion. 1t was
one of the very few times IN q
senate when more than some three
or four senators ever have listened
IL Mr.. Heyburn, but nearly every
senator about the capitol-some 5O-
odd4was in his seat and listened
quietly and with apparent seriousness
to a long harangue against the
South. They wore Disguised eounten-
ances and at the conclusion they
unanimously sat down on him. The
Southerners sat quietly, except, OF

DESTROYING the effectiveness of a mas
terful stroke on the part OF the
Democrats by buttIng In.
The Speaker was speaking IN OPP
position to a resolution by Senator
Bankhead of Alabama to authorize
the war department to lend army
tents and other supplies to the Con-
federate Veterans association for the
forthcoming reunion at Mobile, Ala,
several Southern senators really
wanted to make reply, but inasmuch
as it was apparent to all that the
Idaho senator was speaking only Tor
himself and against the decided ap-
proval of the other Republican sena-
tors, it was determined to ignore the
remarks.
Senator Bankhead arose and there
was a general expectancy that some
thing was going to happen, but the
Alabama senator merely remarked,
"Mr. President, / know that the SEN
ator from Idaho feels better now, and
l ask for a vote On the resolution"
Every Republican senator, except
Hepburn, voted on roll call with the
Democrats in favor of lending the
tents to the Confederate veterans.
There was a general desire on the
part of the Democrats to have either
Bailey or Money reply to Hepburn.
Either one of these would have made
a telling reply without using any
language discourteous to the general
run of Northern people, whose sena-
tors had signifed their intention of
voting for the resolution. There is
small disposition On either side here
to fight the 50-year-ago war over at
this late day, and such men as Hey
burn, mighty few in number are con-
sidered as only jokes.-Zach MCGEE,
