WAR ALI OVER AGAIN.

Washington, May 2J:-Fighting
the Civil War all over again Is the
pastime Of the House of Representa-
tives, almost every time pension leg
islation Is considered.
The ''bloody shirt" is waved by
both Northerners and Southerners.
Oratorical boom, declama-
tory skirmishes batter the House
walls, volleys of words assail the
pass while the Speakers gavel an
the knell of the dead and
wounded.
Georgia's representatives are rec
ognized leaders Of the anti-pension
fight, and Rep. Roddenbery having
been acting as the general in charge
Of the assaulting forces.
"Dou you approve of Sherman's
march to the sea-" was the innocent
question OF Rep. R~oddenbery which
provoked the last explosion of Civil
War memories.
Here is how R~oddenbery an
swered;
Il want to a that we aC-
the DEGREES of war. Our
matchless General Lee met the great
General Grant in the final struggle
and accepted Lincoln's terms in the
end. He laid down our arms; we
came to the Union; her fortunes are
ours, her history ours and her flu
ture ours. No stream of pensions
has come to the South, to help us
in our distress. We have reached
it by heroic efforts Of our own people
southern people. We love all
sections and are loyal to every foot
of this great country
Rep. Moon (Dem. Tenn rallied
to the defense of the special pen
slons by saying:
81 think his (Rep. Roddenbery's)
devotion to the South Is not greater
than mine. l want to say as a Demo-
crat and a Southern man | am tired
Of this contemplate sectional rot
Rep. Roddenbery continued:
do not give a pension of 5000 a
to an officer who sat back in
a bomb-proof and give the old fellow
who stood In the front of the fight
$40 a month. Do not give 500 a
to your tin-horn generals who
hung around the grub wagon and
never ventured closer to battle than
hear the distant echos of the can
nonade."
When the battle of AZ hours
for lack of ammunition be-
cause of sheer exhaustion of the
combatants, a pension bill increasing
pensions of 365 veterans $4,000
was passed.
