Mr. Kilgore (Tex.) moved to amend by reducing the appropriation to $100,000. 1t was the duty of ‘the municipal subdivision of the Government, he sald, to care for their own paupers. The purpose of the bill was to make a further aggression on the duties, the rights, and the obligations of the state, and to linpose on the General Government: Obligations which be:onged to the states them- selva. There was a deliberate purpose On the part of gentlemen on the other side to make aggressions on state governments. He Was not surprised at them, but he was surprised at the ald given to them by gentlemen on the democratic side. There Was a disposition on the part of Congress to tuke charge of the education of the people and of their appetite, and 1t was in opposition to this theory ‘Unat he Opposed tnis bill, Mr. Kilgore asked leave to extend bis remarks tn the Aecord. Mr, Laird (Neb.)—“I object.” “1 thank thee, Rhoderick, for thag word,” was Mr. Kilgore’s sightfleant coment, Mr, Laird said that the quesion presented was. whether the existing National Soldiers’ Homes should be enlarged, whether the Government Would give aid to statehome and thereby eucour- age tue slates Lo Lake care u. heir ex-soldiers, or Whether {t would abandon Us class of men as Suggested by the genUeman from ‘Texas, NOT A QUESTION OF POLITICS BUT OF CIVILIZATION. From the virth of Christ down to the ‘present ‘tme all nations had recognized the responsibility of caring for those who suffered in its degense. Mr. Spinola (N. Y.) sald that if the gentleman from Texas lived in another clime be would un- derstand why Northern democrats should favor a measure of this kind, the object of which was to reduce taxation to the people. The brave men who bad taken the fleid to save the Union, the men who marched and bivouacked and fought for the flag of the country, the gentleman from ‘Texas Dranded as paupers. ‘He hurled Une assertion BACK INTO THE DIRTY THUOAT FROM WHICH IT EMANATED. No man should stand in bis place on this floor and brand the Northern soldier as @ pauper without his (Mr. Spinola) resenting it, He was only sur- prised that an intelligent gentleman, coming from ‘(he southern extreme of the country,suould enter- tain sentiments of the kind uttered by the gentle- Man from Texas against the men who fought for the Government. He had a taste of the gentleman last night, when be appealed to the House to erect "a monument to the memory of the 11,500 martyrs who perished in Briush prigon-siips in defense of American liberty. The House had stood @ unit in favor of the measure With the exception of the gentleman from Texas, who rulsed Ube point of no quorum. If the gentleman supposed tor one moment that he Was utterlug democratic sentiments by such con- duct he was mistaken, abd Northern democrats Would never hew to that jine. {Applause,} MR. KILGORE REPLIES. Mr. Kilgore said that the gentleman from New York had put words into his mouth which he had never used. He had sald that it was the tendency of the republican party to enlarge the powers of the Federal Government and contract the powers of the state governments, and that this measure was in the line of tts policy, It was the policy of the democratic party to resist this theory of the republican party. As to the offensive language used by tne gentleman trom New York (Mr. Spinola) that gentieman was too old a man for him to characterize hltn tn the mauner he deserved; but if the gentleman had a henchman to do his bid- bing, Who Would use such language to him (Mr. Kilgore) he WOULD DENOUNCE HIM AS A LIAR on the floor of the House. The gentleman had stated that he had had’a taste of hun (Mr. Kilgore) last night, when the gentleman had sought to ap- propriate $100,000 of the people’s money in order to beautify a park in Brooklyn, The gentieman had stood up in bebaif of six million people of New York and demanded that the tux-paying peopl should furnish the money to build this monument; And he (Kilgore) in the name of 54,000,000 people objected to It, “You don’t speak for the people of Pennsylvania or Michigan,” interrupted a gentleman from those states, Mr. Kilgore retorted that he had a right to "speak for those who eurned their living by the sweat of their brow. Yet, because he had exercised the — rigt which belonged to him us a representative of the ple of Texas, because he had seen fit to dissent rom the views entertained by a majority of the House, he was to be denounced by a taan,under such circumstances that he could not reset the denunciation. He had been VILLIFIED ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE, ‘Dut no such course could drive him trom his honest Purpose to do his duty. He had as much regard as any man for the soldier. He was proud of the Bubject to the parmnestst past eoapeusavon uses, ment of Just com| lon Uherdfor, to be ascertained as follows: whe Come missioners are to cause an appraisement of the alue of the land so taken to be ascertained by an appraisement to be made by three judicious, dis- interested treeholders of said Diatrict.
