‘JUST A LITTLE HELP. ‘That is All Which is Kequired at This Time Of the Year—Do You Know What to Do? We hear a great deal. just now, about Spring Medicines. It is known that people feel run down after the Inbors and siege of winter, and itis assumed they meed = Spring medicine. ‘This is not true. Spring medicines are not Reeded; nature will throw off the rheums in the blood which have accumulated during the Winter, if she has only a Kittle help. Nature is able to clean her own house, and take care of her own household, with a little assistance, and @ little gentie stimulant is all the Spring medi- cine any one requires. “But.” you may say, “what do you mean by stimulant, and what do require?” We answer, something absolutely Pure, powerful, and which has been proved to undantly answer the purpose. Unquestion- ably, whiskey, if of the right kind, is the proper thing to use, but, unfortunately, there are few Rood whiskies in the market, and only one Which is absolutely pure, and possesses medic- inal qualities. That whiskey is Duffy's Pure Malt. it bas been upon the market for years, It has the unqualitied indorsement of ont cians and chemists, and it is the only whiskey which can be recommended. It is true, certain unscrupulous druggists and grocers seek to sell ether and inferior good ming they are equal to Duffy's, but they possess littl and no medicinal power whatever, Duffy's is specially designed as a medicinal biskey. It would Le well to bear these facts in Mind when considering the subject of Spring medicines, and how to best put the system in shape for the requirements of the season. 2 Noon Night Good all the time.

ALively Debate Over the Grand Army En- campinent Matter. ‘THE AMENDMENT OFFERED BY SENATOR M'MILLAN AND THE DISCUSSION IT PROVOKED—MESSRS. HARRIS, COCKRELL AND VEST OPPOSED TO ANT APPROPRIATION—SENATOR HIGGINS ADVOCATES ‘THE PROPOSITION. If Senators Harris, Vest, Peffer and Cockrell | have their way the Grand Army veterans who | come here to the nextannual encampment will | not be indebted to the government of the | United States for any courtesy or hospitable consideration involving a money outlay, or en for an adherence to the agreement by | which the general government pays one-half of municipal expenses incurred in the District of Columbia. ; The District appropriation bill was being | considered—had been read through—when Sen- ator McMillan offered an amendment author- ized by the District committee providing that the sum of 75,000 be appropriated to pay the proper and legitimate expenses attending the Teception and entertainment of such honorably discharged Union soldiers, sailors and marines | who served in the war of the rebellion as may | attend the twenty-sixth national encampment | of the Grand Army, one-half of the sum to be paid out of the United States treasury and the | remainder out of the revenues of the District. It was also provided that none of the appropri- ation should be available ‘until the citizens of | the District should have raised by private sub- scription and expended the sum of $60,000. As a substitute for this amendment Senator Millan offered the following: To pay the prope legitimate expenses attending the reception and entertainment of snch honorably discharged Union soldiers, | sailors and marines who served in the war of the rebellion as may attend as delegates or | otherwise the twenty-sixth national cncamp- ment of the Grand Army of the Republic in | the city of Washington, D. C., and attending the preparation for such reception and enter- tainment, #100,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary. SENATOR HARRIS’ OBJECTION. Senator Harris was upon his feet in an in- stant. “Mr. President,” said he. “I desire to say that the amendment reported from the committee on the District of Colambia was not authorized by the unanimous committee. It Was a report of 2 majority.” “I have stood here for fifteen ————- to and voting against all nppropriations whic! proposed to take money ontof the treasury and approprinte it to any mere charitable purpose for any mere donation. Iam one of the few who believe that Congress has no constitu- tional power or authority to levy taxes and collect money from the earnings of the people tor any other than a public and legitimate gov- ernmental purpose. ‘This cannot be considered jasa public or a governmental purpose. It would be a graceful charity if Congress should take $100,000 or $75,000 of the money of the people out of the treasury und’ give a} magnificent entertainment to our distin- guished visitors, but I deny the right of the wut of the treasury ed by taxation to any such purposes or to any purpose other than that of defraying the necessary expenses of the government iteelf. Upon that narrow, but as I think con- stitutional ground, I have stood for the fifteen Fears that E bave had the honor of occupying & seat upon this floor, and upon that ground f shall continue to stand. It would uot have mattered with me, sir, whether this were pro- posed us a fund to honor the visitation of a confede reunion any more than for the persons to whom it is proposed to be appropriated. My point is that it does not fall within the line of any duty of the govern- ment; that we have no right to levy and col- lect taxes for any such purpose; and when you tuke the revenues out of the treasury already collected, you superinduce the necessity of held at one and another city of the country al- ways upon the invitations of such cities and Spon them lias fallen, a8 8 part of their manici- pal functions, the duty of hospitality. In every case the fund for such entertainment, as has been stated by the Senator from Missouri [Mr. Vest}, has been made up in part by the sub- scriptions of citizens and invariably in part by contributions from the municipality and from the state in which the encampment is held, “This year the invitation has been extended by citizens of Washington, it has been accepted by the Grand Army of the Republic and their encampmentis to be held in this city. So we are met by this question under the particular exigencies of the government of this city. We have taken from the people of Washington the right of self-government. We have. I will not say usurped, but we have absorbed that authority and that duty. Thiscall comes upon us with precisely the same force and is of just the same character as the call which has been made to the municipal governments of the cities and to the legislatures of the states where this encampment has been held in other cities. The constitutional authority that we have is precisely the authority which the legis- Intures of the states have, and our duty is no larger nor other than their duty. ‘MUNICIPAL HOSPITALITY, “Shall it be said that it does not belong to the municipality to exercise the function of hospitality? Have the legislatures of the states Ro power to make snch appropriations? If th have, certainly we have. So, Mr. Presiden comes to the other question as to what the amount shall be. The committee, in the first instance, placed the amount at $75,000, the representation having been made to the com- mittee that the citizens would raise $50,000, | and £100,000 having been asked for from the | me, sir, itis time that we, the old soldiers, should cry out against this practice of first in- viting the boys to come and then asking other People to pay for their dinners. T do not be- ve in it and I think it is time that some one ‘at least who was connected with the Grand Army should have the courage to say #0 before the people. NO AUTHORITY TO GRANT THE MONET. There is another point to be considered. We have no authority even to pledge ourselves to grant this money. Whatever money we agree to pay is the people's money; it 18 not ours We are here as the custodians of the people's money, to use it in their intereat and not to ap- te it for private uses. surprised, when I heard of the amend- ment being proposed to this bill, that the peo- ple of the country should be asked to pay an obligation that the citizens of Washington have voluntarily assumed. Having said this much, I will now take one night to consider. I think that we will bardly dispose of this measure finally until tomorrow. Iwill take one night to consider what my old soldier friends in Kansas would ask me to do in voting upon this question. There are many of them here in this city. I say I will take time to think about that; and if my vote should in the end be in favor of the appropriation, it will be under my own personal protest and in obe- dience to the wishes of those who stand behind me. CONGRESS THE MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF THE pistrict. Mr. Higgins—Mr. T’resident, it seems to me quite indifferent whether we regard the Con- gress of the United States as standing here as the city council or municipal government of Washington and the District of Columbia or as government. “The committee first recommended an | amendment to the bill placing the amount of | the appropriation by Congress at $75,000: of | course one-half of that sum to be prid. like | all others raised by texAtion, from the revenues of the District and oue-haif from the revenues | of the general government. But that haselicited | and called forth from the committee of citizens | having charge of this matter and from the pub- | lic press and other representatives of public | opinion and those having charge of the subject | claim that $100,000 is needed for the proper | exercise of the function of hospitality in this instance. I wish to ask if this government is going to puta narrow limit upon the amount that will Properly be appropriated for this patriotic Subject? It is pertectly clear that the ocea- ion of the meeting of the Grand Army of the Kepublic in this capital and historic city is go- ing to call forth a larger number of visitors, « larger encampment than has ever before been held in the history of that organization or int the history of the government. I shall not ex- pect that Congress, representing the people of the United States, will stint their allowance to | less than the exigencies of the occasion may re- quir: Neither can I see that this appropriation differs from any other as to the fund from which it should be drawn. It falls upon the municipality properly, and how are all these obligations met? Upon the principle by and | large that the government, owning one-iialf of the property, shall assume one-half of the taxes, obligations and duties that fail upon the Dis- trict, “It seems to me, thercfore, that the amend- ment suggested by the committee is just and | ought to pass, and that the amendment to the | amendment offered by the Senator from Mis- | souri just before I rose to submit these remarks should not be adopted.” MR. VEST ASKS A QUESTION. Mr. Vest—Mr. President, if the proposition of the Senator from Delaware be correct, then both, asa matter of law and equity, our wards in the city of Washington should assume the position of wards, and not undertake to bind us by extending even hospitable invitations to anybody. The fallacy of the argument is that when the people of Washington propose to ¢x- ercise the functions of a municipal government | they do so and then come to Congress to make levying and collecting a similar amount to re- place them. I shall be for that reason com- pelled to vote against the amendment and against any appropriation for the object sug- gested.” SENATOR VEST's EMPHATIC OPPOSITION. Senator Vest followed in the same strain. He was very emphatic. Said he: “In addition to what has been said by the Senator from Ten- nessee I desire to add that this seems to me the most extraordinary movement im the way of particular appropriation which I have en- countered during my public service. In de- fiance of all sorts of misconstruction arisin; from the fact that I was not a federal soldier, simply want to appeal to the justice of the Senate in regard to appropriating this amount of money, not out of the treasury of the Dis- triet of Columbia, not out of the municipal funds of the city of Washington, but from the tax money of the whole people of the United States, “If, Mr. Presiaent, Congress had invited this association here, thea, under the rights of hos- pitality and the generous liberality that char- acterizes the American people in regard to all such occasions, I should be the last Senator to oppose an appropriation twice or three times as large; but Congress has not been consulted in regard to this matter atall The invitation wasextended by the eitizens of the city of Washington alone, and a brief resume of the facts will show how palpably unjust would be the appropriation of this amount of money from the general treasury of the people. It is very well kuown that it has been the custom for years of rival cities extending invi- tations to the Grand Army of the Kepublic to hold their national encampments from year to year in those cities, and it is very well known that the merchants, hotel keepers, saloon keepers and others reapa rich harvest from the assembling of this large number of old soldiers upon these occasions. When this an- nual encampment was about to occur during the last year the city of Washington, asa mu- nicipality, sent its citizens, with large prom- ises of hospitality and entertainment, to at- tract this encampment to their midst. "Was it the action of Congress? Was it the action of the representatives of the people, or was it the action of the citizens, shopkeepers, hotel keep- ers and others in the city of Washington alone? Now, under the promise of obtaining this en- campment the people of the whole country are called upon to defray one-half of the expense of it. DISGUSTING TO THE PEOPLE. Mr. President, these exorbitant demands, for they are nothing else, by the people of Washington upon the general government are becom ing disgusting to the people of the whole of the United States. We have built up with the money of all the people of the country the most beautiful city almost inthe world. ‘There is not acity in the Cnited States that would not today give $20,000,000 in order to obtain the location of the capital of this great country of 65,000,000 people and it would pay all the taxes besides. * But we are now building mag- nificent edifices here: we are paying one-half the taxes; we are making this city the favorite among all the municipalities of the country. They are uot satisfied with this, but come here. now and propose to make us pay one-half of the expenses of entertaining their guests, when they know at the same time that Congress has not been consulted in regurd to the matter at all It surpasses all that I have ever kuown in the exorbitant demands that are made upon the Congress of the United States because it 18 located here in this city of Washington. ‘As to what has been said by the Senator from Tennessee in regard to the constitutional ob- jections, if the right were so clear under the Constitution that it could be seen of ail men at adistance [should not vote for this appro- priation. When Washington city and its people are reaping all the results and ail’ the benefits, when they are thelr guests und not ours, when the treasury today is not in a condition to sus- tain this sort of expenditure for any such pur- pose, it would, with my convictions, be a crimi- aal act upon my part to sit here silent at the risk of any such misconstruction and permit any such appropriation to go through. SENATOR COCKRELL'S AMENDMENT. ‘Then Senator Cockrell interposed ap amend- ment, which read: “And the whole of said amount shall be paid exclusively out of the revenues of the District of Columbia.” THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNMENT. That caused Senator MeMillan to take the floor and say: “The objection to that in my mind is that all the expenses of the District of groper that this amount of money should be good the liability they assume themselves. ‘The Senator says that an enormous encamp- ment will be held here. Every soldier or ex- | soldier who comes here will pay #0 much money | to the people of Washington. Every one of them who spen: dollar here will pour it into the coffers of the people of this city. Why do the cities of the United States scramble for this encampment year by year exactly ax they do for the conventions ‘of the great political parties? Itis to put money in their pockets, and for no other purpose. When the Senator says that we occupy th position of a state legislature relatively to this matter I would be glad for him to show me the custom that has sprung up in this country of the state legisiatures paying the expenses of these encampments invited by cities. AND 18 ANSWERED BY MB. DAWES. Mr. Dawes—The encampment was held last year in Boston. The state legislature appropri- ated $50,000, the city of Boston $25,000 and the citizens raised thirty odd thousand dollars. Mr. Vest—Exactly, and that was the state of Maseachusetts. When this encampment was | held in the state of Missouri the city of St. | Louis paid the expenses, as it ought to have | done, and the general assembly of Missouri paid nothing. Mr. Dawes—The legislature of Massachusetts paid $50,000. : Mr. Vest—I understand, and they bad the right to do it; and Ido not question that; and if this was the legislature in that seuse of the people of the city of Washington, if we eer srl them to extend this invitation, if @ were at all responsible for it, as a matter of urse it would be in the nature of a contract. The legislature of Mussachusetts represented the people of the state. The Congress of the United States represents the people of the whole Union, not of the District of Columbia alone. Z say no such custom has prevailed. It may have been done in the state of Massachusetts. It was not done in the state of Missouri, and if there are other states in which the legislature has been called upon todo it, it furnishes no precedent for us. The whole thing rests at st upon the single question whether, if the | people of the city of Washington acted without consulting Congress, Congress is bound in any way to pay the expenses of the guests whom they have invited. MR. PEFFER OBJECTS. ‘Mr. Peffer—Mr. President, the argument in favor of the appropriation is based upon an as- sumption that Congress is under an obligation in some way to pay at least a certain amount of money to entertain the soldiers when they come here this fall. Ido not agree with that assumption. { do not believe that the people of the United States are under any obligation to pay for entertaining the old soldiers when they come to Washington. If that were true the same obligation would rest upon Congress no matter where the Grand Army should hold its national encampment. At the outset permit me to say that I wasa Federal soldier. I served in the army three of the best years of my life. [have some recol- lections of that great war that I shall carry with me to the bivouac at the other side. I do not believe that the old boys who wore the blue ure beggars. Ido not believe that they are going about the country asking for the hospi- talities of the people either ofa particular locality or of the country in general. But I do believe that when a city or a state,‘or, if it might be, the nation, invite the Grand Army to come and partake of their hospitalities the city or the state should pay the expeuses. I think that the old boys will feel just that way about Washington city. Tunderstand that the people of the capital | city bave mvited th idiers to come and nold | their national encampment here. I understand | that they bid for their coming and that they Promised them entertainment, but they were not authorized by this body to say that the | | people of the whole nation would pay the ex- | penses. Now, another thing, Mr. President. This | custom: is one that is growing in the countr: and it seems to me that if we are notable to stop it now those of us who are thinking about the growing custom ought to interpose at least one mild objection to rt. First the citizens of & particular town, and only a small portion of those citizens, the real estate dealers, the bankers, the hotel keepers and other classes who expect to profit by the coming of the peo- ple, extend an invitation. They pledge their own people. A SYSTEM OF BEGGING. Perhaps they are authorized to do that, and it may be well enough; but when they come to pledge the money and the resources of a larger body, of a whole state or a whole nation, they go far beyond their authority. First, ‘these pledges will be made to the Grand Army. and then as goon as the invitation is accepted and the state legislature. It seems that in Massa- chusetts the state legislature appropriated a part of the fund for the entertainment of the (irand Army at Boston. We are told by the Senator from Missouri that the state of Mis- souri did not contribute to the entertainment of the Grand Army at St. Louis, but it was done by the municipality of St. Louis alone. However, the Congress of the United States is virtually the municipal government of the District of Columbia and that District is not a state. Originally it was but ten miles square, After that Alexandria was taken off of it and virtually the city of Washington is coterminous with the District of Columbia. It therefore comes before Congress, virtually acting for this municipality, and the reason why we have to act upon it is that we have taken away from this people the power and right of municipal government. So our obligation is precisely equivalent to what it would be if we were the city council of the city of Washington. THE SAME COURSE HAN BEEN FOLLOWED BEFORE. The Senator from Missouri has said that we are called upon to vay the bill of an entert ment which we have not asked for, but which came up. Senator McMillan offered au amendment providing for an increase to $40,000 of the cost of K street across Rock creek, and Senator Gorman said he feared the money would be thrown away, because the town Barge, Dock and Com- pany had steam car tracks right up to the west- ern entrance to the ‘Senator Allison the by providing that no stgam railway be com- structed over the bridge (an existi rise shut out street railways), and the ‘whole pre sition was to. i rebuilding the M strestand P street bridges, but after hearing Senator McMillan explain the Precise situation he withdrew his amendment. ———_-e- Base Ball Notes. The game with the Boston Blues yesterday was prevented by rain, J. Earl Wagner, who is expected to succeed his brother George as president of the Wash- ington club, came over from Philadelphia yee- terday. He is unwilling to say anything about the proposed change of but inti- mates that outside interference will not influ- ence the action of the owners of the club. It is believed. however, that Mr. Wagner's inten- tion is always to cater to the popular wish and no change is apprehended, Chicago ball cranks have been startled by the announcement that Anson base glass arm and will retire. ‘McPhee played his first game yesterday af- ternoon. He gave no evidence that his game foot bothered him. Willie McGill's terms are tco high and Capt. Comiskey will not sign him. Instead, he will give Duryca another trial in the Indianapolis series, Nationals agt. Boston Blues today. Out in St. Louis they are jollying up the cranks in great style. Von der Ahe states that the Browns will win the league championship. He is expecially anxious to beat out the Cincin- natis. Ben Sanders, who is to join the Louisvilies Inter in the senson, faced hiscompanions of the future with the Vanderbilt University team at his back. He was rapped for sixteen clean hit Sam Thompson announces that he is out this year for the base-stealing record, and deciares that he will beat both Hamilton and Latham. A band has been engaged to discourse popu- lar music during all the championship games at Cincinnati. Pitcher Buffinton has signed with the Balti- more elub. Pitcher Killen has signed. The Philadelphia club defeated Amherst Col- lege yesterday, 21 to 4. ‘Tue Princeton base ball season opencd _yes- terday afternoon with a game against the Dart- mouth College nine. The Princeton men played was asked for by the citizens of Washington on their own motion before they came to Congress n the first instance. I would ask if that has not been the course in every instance of the kind. I would ask whether in any city of this country where the Grand Army has held its encampment an invitation was uot extended in the first place by the citizens before they had support from their city council or from their state legislature. ‘They go forward upon the expectation that they are speaking for the peo- | ple of the city, and that the citizens will be perfectly willing to expend their money on that ebalt. Neither can it be said in this case that we are voting the money of the people of the United States in any different sense from what we do in the payment of all our appropriations for the District of Columbia. ‘The duty to pay one- half of this tax, like that of every other, rests upon the fact that the United States is the half owner of the property here, and therefore has to meet one-half of its obligations. SOME MORE AMENDMENTS. Mr. Cockrell—I do not know that we can dis- pose of this question this evening and there- fore I should like to suggest one or two amend- ments. I propose to strike out ‘8100,000” and insert “*#80,000."" In connection with that I pro- pose to make it payable to the District. Lwant that to come in with my amendment and hope that it will be agreed to. Senator Hawley then offered an amendment which gives the supervision of. the expenditure | into the hands of the Secretary of War, but | as no action could then be taken on it it was simply read and laid on the clerk's desk. the Senate then adjourned atter a brief ex- ecutive session, AN IMPROVED SEWERAGE SYSTEM. Other matters besides the G. A. R. encamp- ment appropriation produced debate. On the proposition to have the District Commissioners prepare for an improved sewerage system Senator Gorman approved the committee amendment. ‘The matter of sewerage in this District,” said he, one of the greatest con- cern to everybody who has had occasion to ex- amine into it. The Senator from Iowa, the chairman of the committee on appropriations, and his committee two years ago inacrted rovision in the appropriation bill providing Tor the appointinent of acommission of three sanitary engineers to take this whole matter into consideration and report to’ Congress. The result of their examiuations is before usin the document referred to in the pending amend- ment. but in that report they have three or four or half # dozen suggestions, practically all on the same plan, differing in char- acter as to the ‘size of the sewers and the outlet and the pumping arrangement. Either of these, they claim, would perfeet the system, Their description of it in ut condition is alurming. It was con- structed, I think, principally by army engineers who had had no special training and knowledge of that class of work, and the result, I think, is that we are simply living in the lower section of the city over a great cesspool, with no wa; at all to carry off the sewerage. ‘It is marvel- ous that the health of the town is as good as it is * * * We have had complaints in this body of the bad ventilation of the hall, and we have had them for years, There have been complaints in both houses of Congress. When we come to take into consideration the facts stated in this report by the sauitary engineers that the sew- erage from the building in which we are, emp- tying into the tide sewer, which is one-third of the time closed by high water or by high tides in the Potomac river, and driving the. gases back into this building and into all the build- ings whose sewerage empties into the old Tiber canal, we cannot afford, in my judgment, to abandon the worthy project we are now en- tering upon to correct that great defect. I trust there will be no opposition here or elsewhere to the apvroprintion. and I again ex- press the hope that if there is opposition to the appropriations we intend to make the Senator from fowa, in the interest of humanity and good health, will insist upon this appropria- tion being retained in the bill.”” THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. Speaking to the amendment providing for the exteusion of Kencsaw avenue to the Zoological Park, Senator - McPherson said: “Before agreeing to this amendment I should like to make an inquiry of the chairman of the committee: What disposition is being made in appropriations at this session of Congress to supply the Zoological Park or the grounds with animals; in other words, to complete the rk in the manner intended and_ provided for Pre original act? If nothing is to be done | what is the particular necessity of improving the streets leading to the Zoulogical Park at a vast expense? I understand that there isa great deal of dissatisfaction, and justly, as I think, manifested on the part of the citiz of Washington ageinst the plan which was adopted of charging one-half of the cost upon tue pe ple of the city of Washington for the Zoological Garden—one-balf the cost of its maintenance, and even the purchase of the property as well. I should like to know if any change is contem- plated by thecommittee With respect to that matter?” Senator Allison replied that the Zoological Park was provided for in the sundry civil bill, which had not yet passed the House. Even if there were no animalsin the park a grent many reople would doubtless want to visit the neigh- orhood. THE QUESTION OF BRIDGES. There was discussion when the question of srrangements are made for tho encampment immediately a system of beg: if I am not using too an expr —is indulged, asking somebody else to come in and to pay the between the two, just as everything qlee in, just as it la suggested to me as the Zoo- logical Park ia, which ies national matter we ‘Tox.
