Not Seated Sympathy

WASHINGTON , April 7. In the house Mr.
Morrlll of Kansas moved to suspend the rules
and pass , xx Ith substitute , tire scnnto bill
granting pensions to soldiers and sailors xx ho
nro Incapacitated from the pelformanco of
labor nnd proxidlng for pensions to xxidoxx s
nnd minor children and dependent pucnta ,
Mr. Springer of Illinois demanded a second
nnd the motion xx'irs seconded , 1 to " > 7.
Mr. Morrlll briefly explained that the sub
stitute had prox Ided a serx ice pension of ? S
per month to soldiers xxho hax e reached the
ago of sixtj-txxo j'c.rrs , or xxho arc dependent.
Ho thought the same principle xxhlch had
been applied to veterans of the xxar of IM'J
and the xx'ar xx 1th Mexico should bo applied to
the xetcians of the xxar of IbOl. In answer tea
a question he stated it xxas estimated that the
senate bill xxould require an annual oxpondl-
turoof S.m,000,000 and the house substitute
'I.IKXKX ' ( ) annually.
Mr. Springer of Illinois said he would \-oto
against the motion to suspend tlio rules and
pass the bill for the reason that no proper con
sideration could bo gix en the measure in tlio
limited time nlloxxcd for debate. There \\-as
no nppoi trinity to offer mi amendment Ac
cording to Ills information not n single Grand
Aunj post hud called for tire passage of this
bill. The soldiers had askeel for a serx Ice
bill Mr Springer charged the republicans
xx ith ex asioit of rcsponsbilitj , xx ith dodging
the issue and xxith the bctr.txalof the soldiers
to xx'hom bad tlio vlco
they promised sei pen
sion bill If this bill passed no opportunity
xxould be gix-cn in tins conference for the
passage of tlio sen lee pension bill Tire sol
diers had asked for bread and the house xvas
glx Ing them a stone. Mr Tarsney opposed
the passage of a bill of this magnitude under
the gag laxxHo xxas opposed to Indiseimilit
ate pension legislation and to anv mcasuio
xx lilch placed the bi ax c soldier and the skulk
ing coxxind on cmnilltj.
Mr Lane of Illinois said tlie bill xx-as not n
profitable one , but it xxas better than nnj-
thing on the statute books , and for that rea
son ho fax-OH'd it.
