Senator Ingalls took the floor im- mediately after Gorman sat down, and made one of tne best short speeches put to his credit this ses- sion. SENATOR VEST. Senator Vest said—Mr. President there is one aspect of this question which has not been discussed—witk- in my hearing at least—in this debate about which I propose to say a word. As to what is due to the soldier of the Union I shall make no argument and raise no issue. I believe that the country should pay them to the last cent the most extravagant esti- mate as to the real service they ren- dered. I should despise myself if I stood here or elsewhere and cavil- ed in regard to dollars and cents as the price of blood and life in the preservation of the country. But I shall not be deterred by the fact that I was on the other side in this conflict from doing my duty to my constituents and the country in re | gard to what I consider monstrous abuses that have grown up under the system, and about which is time to talk. I know the splendor of military achievement, which I do not propose to deprecate, may be brought here as a defense of great abuses. I know that personal in- vective even and assault upon trea- son and upon those who sought the on the confederacy were backward in the fight? Why is this enormous disproportion? THE SOLUTION. Read the report of the examining committees and the evidence taken when Dudley was commissioner of pensions and you will find the solu- tion. You will find that it was de- clared and it was acted upon, “Give pensions freely, liberally; every man to vote the republican ticket.” Ohio instead of 195,147 soldiers, furnshed 317,133, and has upon her pension rolls50,081 pensioners,against 42,553 for Indiania, Pennsylvania furnish- ed 366,326 soldiers. Indiana, as I has upon the pension roll 42,553 and Pennsylvania but 46,361 or about 4,000 more pensioners when they furnished two and a half times as many soldiers. Massachusetts furnished 157,785 soldiers against 195,147 for Ind.,and instead of 42,553 pensioners, Mass., has 20,282. Ill- inois furnished 63,070 soldiers more than Indiana, yet Indiana has on the pension roll 5,963 more pension- ers. Mr. President, I care not what plausible excuse may be made; I say that I believe from this and other evidence—and the conviction is steadily growing upon the honest men of this country—that this pen- sion bureau is being used for polit- ical purposes, and that the general feeling of the United States towards the soldiers who preserved the gov- ernment is being prostituted for par- life of the country mad be used as a panoply for monstrous outrages that in my opinion have grown up in the United States under these specious pretenses. I shall not be deterred from stating what I believe to be the truth in regard to itin the interest of the taxpayers that I represent. GRATITUDE TO SOLDIERS. Mr. President, I know no man 80 narrow-minded, so biggoted, so vin- dictive, as to refuse justice to the Union soldiers of the late war. When any man says to me that I disposed, because I oppose them. to refuse them justice, I have but one answer: he utters a willful and deliberate falsehood. I have voted for every pension bill that I believed to be just, and shall continue to do so, and the people whom I represent here will justify me in this action. But, sir, I believe that this pension system is being prostituted for per- sonal and political purposes. I have evidence of it, that to my mind, is beyond any sort of question. There are men in this City of Washington whose sole business in life is to or- iginate schemes for increase of pen- sions in order that they may be the recipients. The pension office re cords show that political motives have entered into the distribution of the enormous sums we'are paying to <the soldiers of the late war. It is well known that the vote of Indiania controls the eiection of a president of the United States, and T assert here now, from the rolls of the pension office itself, that pen- sions are being distributed in that state out of all proportion to the number of soldiers furnished by In- diania in the war there can be but. one reason for it, and that is to make votes for the republican party so that the distribution of this enor- mous sum may be made accessory to political purposes. As a matter of course it is impossible to bring that direct evidence which comes from physical knowledge and observation but if there is any such thing as mor- al convictions it can be shown from the figures. Take the last report of the com- missioner of pensions, and what does itshow? Indiana furnished in the war 195,147 soldiers; Iliniois, lying side by side, furnished 258,- 221. Indiania has upon the pension tisan purposes. Sir, I do not care to indulge in speculations as to how much money will be paid upon these pensions. I shall not be here to see the end of it, but I prophesy that the people of this country will revolt against this system as at present carried on. I know that this money is being distributed, not only among the recipients themselves, but it goes to country merchants, to petty dealers, and therefore percolates and permeates every neighborhood of the country, and is the largest cam- paign fund that can possibly be us- sense of justice will at last re- generous and holy feeling which peo- ple can entertain for its soldiers.

The vote stood 66 to 29, just enough to pass the bill, as it requires a two- thirds vote to pass, and the house consists of 98 members.

But three ballots were | necessary. Senator Waters was} nominated for lieutenant governor Thomas J. Stewart was nominated | ‘for secretary of internal affairs. 1 The resolutions were of the usual tenor. Quay was endorsed enthusi-| astically as follows: | “For the chairman of our nation- jal committee, Mr. Quay, we feel a! jlasting sense of gratitude for his| matcheless services in the last presi- dential campaign, and commend his bearing under the slanders which his successful leadership of our par-| ty has purchased for him. As a cit- izen, a member of the general as-| sembly, as secretary of the common- wealth under two successive admmin- istrations, as state treasurer by the overwhelming suffrages of his fellow citizens and as senator of the United States, he has won and retains our respect and confidence.” | | FEAREUL FRENZY. | Four Victims Sacrificed On the Altar ! ot an Old Feud.

To-day, just before noon, Coe went to the field where Nathaniel Anglin | was ut work and shot him dead. Then Coe went about a mile to where Adrian Anglin was at_ work and shot him, shattering his arm near the shoulder so that his life is despaired of. A short time after several shots were heard at Coe’s house, and the neighbors weut to the place and found Mrs. Coe dead in the garden, with a hole in the back of her neck, and Coe lying on a lounge in his house dead, with a revolver in his hand, having shot himself in the head.

Severe Storm in lowa. \ Dubuque, Ia., June 25.—Yester-| day morning two inches of rain fell jin two hours and the wind blew forty miles an hour. The iightning and thunder were incessant In Rock- dale valley the flood carried away bridges and drove people to the hills for safety. At Thompson’s mill drowned cattle and horses were swept through the first ‘story win- dows of Mr. Titzig’s residence and the family sought refuge in the hills. Several railroad bridges were swept away, and railroad tracks were wash- ed out in several places. In Dubuque many houses are flooded. The dam- age in this county is estimated at over $100,000.

The revolution must sweep like a tornado through New York, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois if this country is to be rescued from the oligarchy that stole the presi- dency in 1876, bought it in 1888 and is ready to buy it and bulldoze it in 1892.

A casual glance at a newspaper will show a list of men who helped to build up the town. If you see a good sized live advertisement in the paper by each of the principle mer- chants and a card from each of the small ones, you need not inquire as to the prosperity of the town—it’s solid. But if you tind the most ex- tensive merchants not advertising their business, then you can set it down as a fact that those who do try to push their business and town with its interests, have a hard time and uphill all the year round. —Ex.
