Kissing Under the Mistletoe.
The mistletoe, in Scandinavian
mythology, is a plant of evil when it
touches the earth ; therefore it is al

as a decoration. When persons of op

kLss each other, a token that the mys
tic plant shall have no evil Influence
over them.

not knmm timr rtrt^ one found Its way
to lueTH- irarts.
Another curiosity was a potato
brought to us by Mr. C. J Nunnery,

Wasbi^ton April L'3. During the
debate otv the immigration Mil, Repre
sentative W. F. Stevenson of Oheraw
stirred the House ami drew much ap
plause by tbe following remarks at
tacking the new Attorney General for
special favors to Kugene V> IVbs lu the
Atlanta Federal prison for seditious
utterances in war time.
"Mr. Chairman j and (lentleineu:
While ne are discussing this question
of immigration 1 think it is well to
determine what we are going to do
with a lot of the folks who are already
lieFe. A delegation Is -today canvass
ing tlilA Congress In behalf of what is
called amnesty for political offenders
They pre placing in the front rank of
the heroes who should he released one
Kugene V. Debs, who is confined In the
Federal prison at Atlanta, I want to
speak a few minutes about that proper
sit iOD, wh$ch I consider more danger
t?us than the flooding of this country
with a lot of people who want to work
for a living and who* are starving
where they arc.
"What did Mr. i>ebs do when the
hoys who have been spoken of here
were at the front, and why is he in
prison in Atlanta, and why this propa
ganda around here to get hint out,
which Is being circulated in our of
fices today? When our hoys were fac
lug the crisis of the war. and when
men from your districts and mine were
going down by the thousands every day
Mr. Debs was out In Ohio preaching to
the worklngmen, asking them to cut
i.l'f the supplies for our boys and to
break up the Instrumentalities of this
count vy with which to prosecute the
war. lie an id to them. "Do not work
on anything tlr.it will assist the boys
at the front." He was in the same
position as the fellow who conies along
and finds a fire set by some incendiary
and cut the hose of the fire company
that is the only eotinecMon with tho
water plug and thereby paralyzes the
power of the fire department that Is
endeavoring to save the property try
putting out the conflagration.
"And yet but a few weeks ago. it
wan intimated that he was to be par
doned. lie was accorded a remarkable
privilege 'of divesting himself of his
prison garb and going to Washington
to present bis case to the Attorney
General in person, going back unguard
ed, ilii unprecedented tiling It wn^- as
the Attorney General admitted, be
cause when asked if there was any
such precedent he snld there Is one
lfow hccaifSft" we made il.
?'(lent lemon, you ciin say what you.
please, but that proceeding foreshad
owed tbe pardon of Debs, "ind he has
all the infamy tli^t was wrought in
that line while the War was going on.
We bad a great deal of fervid elo
quence of Grovel' Cleveland Herg
d<?ll the other day. and passed a reso
lution to spend $10,000 investigating
his case. G rover Cleveland Bergdoll
vftis a big baby with more money than
brains, who Was . made the dupe of
I)ebs and his crowd l?y advice that
they must not obey the draft law, and
by standing out and evading the draft
law he became a criminal. And yet we
talk about pardoning Debs.
Mr. Herrick of Oklahoma : "The gen
tleman will recognize that Mr. Debs
was man enough to go back to pris
on."
Mr! Stevenson : "Yes, and 1 can
bring plenty of moonshiners that
will do the same thing, and who would
bring you something good If you would
let them come ? up here. 1 am opposed
to the moonshlofer and his product, hut
he Is entitled to as much considera
tion as Debs, and 1 regret that the
Debs precedent has M*en nr.ule by this
administration."
