The Brecksarldge Cue.
; Washisgtox, April 14.—Judge Jere
jl Wilson was complimented to-day
ky the presence of a large audience of
|k'is colleagues of the legal profession
t,nd if n.embers of congress to hear
closing argument in the Pollard
Breckinridge breach of promise ease
ind to i.sten to his reply to the attacks
„( ('.i.onel Phil Thompson upon his
Iclicut and the eloquent appeals of Mr.
Butterworth.
>lr Wilson’s voice was low and im- ;
fjressire as he told the jury that it was
hi, duty to reply to all the defendant
tad sa.d as a witness and through his
iconnse!. A startling thing has been
orged in his behalf—that this case
iwiih ail its revelations should not
have been brought. “He thinks,”
he went on, “speaking through
\ counsel that this case should have
never been brought; that it is spread
ing pi liution throughout the conn- ‘
try. and 1 do not wonder. 1 am
sorry that my friend, Ben Bntterworth,
is not here. He has said that we
sre to blame for spreading this pollu
tion through the country. If what
this defendant hu confessed on the
stand be true, is it possible that such j
things are to be redressed? Is it pos- 1
sihle that in the sunlight of our civili
zation there is no redress? Yon can
oot tie a millstone around his neck
attd sink him in the sea for the fishes
to feed upon him; yon cannot shut him
in a cage and double-lock it to keep
him from polluting the women of the
country: you cannot do that, bnt you
can severe the redress that the laws
of the land have provided.”
Major Butterworth, Mr. Wilson went
on. had spoken of the revulsion of
feeling abroad*against this, case, but
k had forgotten that in weal Britain,
when such things became a stench in
the Anglo-Saxon nostrils, peers and
nobles bad their black skeletons
dragged from closets snd hsd been
condemned, had been banished—aye,
‘•bright stars,” ms had been said, had
been dragged from the firmament.
THE SAME 8TAXDAKD FOB AI-I
"Even if this were the first ease,”
thundered Mr. Wilson, “I would be
proud of my part in condemning snch
conduct. My friend Carlisle and I
took this responsibility and we take
it willingly, even proudly. I suppose
my friend Bntterworth would say that
if the third count in this indictment
be true he would banish the woman
aod send the man to congress I stand
bore for higher womanhood. I stand
here to demand the same standard
from woman and man. I stand against
such sentiments as this defendant has
ottered, that such baseness injures
the man but destroyes the woman.
Would the jury say that this defend
ant was to be admitted to their
parlors and the outer gate locked and
barred against the woman?”
It had pleased Mr. Butterworth, Mr. 1
Wilson continued, to declaim pyro- ;
technically that the womanhood of
the land was arrayed in behalf of the
defendant. No, a thousand times no.
He had said that the country girls of
the country did not need chaperones
and he (Mr. Wilson) had expected to 1
bear it said that gray haired men of ,
b needed body-guards.
Here Mr. Wilson produced a sheet 1
of letter paper and said that he could
imagine the mothers of the land sit
ting up writing such letters as the im
aginary one he would read. Of course j
>t was simply imaginary, he said, bnt :
(very one could see the feminine hand- !
writing- as he held it up, and every l
one knew that it was one letter from
the correspondence he had received
ouring the trial. It was in part as i

rim. THOMPSON ANSWERED.
Mr. Wilson said that the jury
tad beard a most remarkable argil*
ttht from one of the defendant's
cho&en friends. Colonel Phil Thomp
lon- It was in substance that as all
■>en are bad, as that all men were
snares, why should the defend*
•nt be condemned? He was no worse i
than the rest. Solomon and David
had been held np as parallels of the
pendant. It had been said that
"avid was a man of great education; he

schools of his land, he had a

f'on; but Israel had come from his
t!Js and he had not been condemned
hfu therefore why should the defend
h°t be condemned? One story had
hten overlooked in his biblical re

The JUDGE CHECKS lMramwixff
Mr. Wilson asserted that the colonel
had taken Miss Pollard from the
house of Mrs. Thomas to visit his
Kentucky friends, but at this state
ment the heads of the Breckinridge
contingent began to shake in nega
tion, whereupon Mr. Wilson said: -If
there is to be any shaking of heads
over this I will call your attention to
the testimony of Mr. Francis, and
Will remind you that when 1 asked
the defendant about it he did not
deny it."

the defendant and his council sec
onded him.
Judge Bradley rapped with his pen
cil in the desk, saying: “If there is
any correction to be It should
be made by the eounfeL"
“Then I withdraw it all, I don't
care a snap about it," said Mr. Wilson,
mistaking the intention of the judge. !
“I referred to the correction by Mr. !
Breckinridge,” the court explained. !
Breckinridge leaned forward and in- I
quired: “Does your honor say that 1
cannot correct errors?”
“You are represented by counsel
whose duty it is to do that,” responded
the judge.
“But it is my constitutional right to
represent myself,” protested the de
fendant. “Does your honor rule on
that?”
Judge Bradley kept on writing and
made no response.
Mr. Wilson held that the secret
marriage was no defense against the
promises made after it. The secret
marriage constituted in itself a breach
of the contract- Had the scene i n
Major Moor’s office occurred in the
state of New York it would hare

defendant.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Senior .Peffer’* Third Installment on
His Tariff Speech.
Washington, April 14.—Both sides
of the chamber showed a very good
attendance when the senate met yes
terday. During the transaction of the
routine morning business. Senator
Kyle of South Dakota, introduced a
joint resolution proposing a constitu
tional amendment relative to mar
riage and divorces, which was re
ferred to the committee on judiciarv.
At 1 o’clock Mr. Peffer was recog
nized and delivered the third install
ment of his speech on the tariff bill.
He announced his purpose of offering
at the proper time a substitute for the
pending biU based on the principle of
taxing the articles used by the rich
while exempting those articles of
prime necessity nsed by the poor,
whether manufactured abroad or not.
He would relieve the poor of all taxa
tion and put the tax on articles used
by the rich, so the burden of tariff
taxation would rest chiefly on those
who were best able to bear it.
He defended the Coxey army and
outlined his plan for the amelioration
of the condition of the people. Re
ferring to the approaching army, he
exclaimed: “We are coming. Father
Abraham, although the van guard is
snowbound, I understand.” [Laugh
ter.] He referred to the entrance
into Washington last Saturday night
of a band of forty men who were im
mediately arrested without commit
ting any offense.
“They hed as much right to come
here as the president of the New
York Central railway company or any
other citizen.”
As congress was not bound down by
such restrictions, he continued, he
would insist on congress passing a bill
obliging the president to furnish em
ployment for all men and women of
the country. It would not be in the
way of building good roads, bat he
would set them to building a straight
double track railroad from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific and another from the
great lakes to the gulf. Then the
dark clouds would roll away and be
dissipated in the morning mist.
“I am now pleading with you manu
facturers," he said, earnestly (turning
to the Republican side), “to be fair
with us. If you demand protection
against goods which come into compe
tition with yours, give ns those pro
tective duties which we ask for:”
Senator Gallinger inquired whether
he (Mr. Peffer) believed that manu
factures could continue on a free trade
basis.
“I am not looking1 after the manu
facturing interests.” declared Mr.
Peffer. “I am looking after the men
of the West and South. Kansas can
stand free trade better thaD the peo
ple you represent.”
He went on to argue for a duty on
wool and for free sugar, when Mr.
Gallinger assured him that the people
of New England were with him on
those two questions, and he thought
they were with him on all reasonable
demands.
‘‘And when we ask anything which
you do not want to give, you call us
unreasonable?” replied Mr. Peffer.
At 5 o'clock Mr. Peffer had not fin
ished, and according to the agreement
the tariff bill was laid aside, and the
argent deficiency bill was again taken
up.
An amendment to the clause for
paying special assessments to United
States attorneys, changing the amount
from S30.000 to $40,240, of which $10,
340 should be available for deficiencies
for the years 1303 and 1893 was agreed
to.
At 6 o’clock the senate adjourned.
TO DOCK ALL ABSENTEES.
The Democrats of the House Decide la
Census Vpon a Radical Coarse.
Washington, April 14.—The Demo
cratic caucus met immediately after
the adjournment of the house. Mr.
Bland suggested as a remedy for ab
senteeism the enforcement of section
40 of the revised statutes, which pre
rides for “docking” members on such
days as they may be absent. The
suggestion was unanimously adopted.
A Populist Protest.
Ain.DE, Kan., April 14.—The Dick
inson county Farmers' alliance adopt
ed special resolutions on Judge Fos
ter’s retirement They say: “We
consider that be ought to hare saved
enough to maintain his family,” and
“in view of the number of unem
ployed and homeless, the government
ought to economize." The Kansas
delegation is urged to try and defeat
the bill retiring Foster on a pension
of $3,500 on this account
DAVID DUDLY FIELD DEAD.
*• *■»<■—« Lawyer rinn A««r Vary
MMf.
Sew Tone. April 1L—David Dudley
field, the eminent lawyer, died my
suddenly today at his home, So. J
Gratnmercy place. He returned from
Italy only last Wednesday on the
Columbia, having- gone abroad to take
Christmas dinner with bis only child.
Lady Miugnte, widow of Sir Anthony
Mu&grave, late governor of Queens
land. Australia, and to attend the list
birthday celebration of his eldest
garnd son, Dudley Field Musgrave.
He was stricken with pnuemonia
Wednesday night and the disease
rapidly sapped his life.
©SR or A REMARKABK FAMILY.
David Dudley Field lived eighty*
nine years and two months Strangely
Use 13th was the day of his birth and
on the 13th he died. He was older
than either of the three grand old
men of Europe, Gladstone, Bismarck
and Pope Leo, and had witnessed the
rise of the great American republic
almost from its infancy, and at least
from one of its earliest periods. His
family is one of the most noted in all
the United States, and four such
brothers as David Dudley, Cyras \V.,
Henry M., and Stephen J.,have rarely
been of one family generation.
Each attained distinction in his own
way. Cyrus XV. Field passed away
some months ago, and now that ho
has been followed by the eldest of tho
brothers, Steph J. Field of the United
States supreme court, the second son,
and Henry Martyn Field, clergyman,
theologian and author, the fourth son,
alone remain. The first American
representative of the family. Zach
ariah Field, landed in Massachusetts
in 1930 or 1632.
Mr. Field's father, David Dudley
Field was a man of scholarly attain
ments and the author of quite a num
ber of books—in the main historical.
The son received a thorough education
and on graduating from Williams col
lege in 1331 he began the study of law
at Albany. Seven years later he be
gan to practice in New York city.
Sixty years is the period of many
noted men's entire lives,yet this is only
the term of Mr. Field's active service
in the legal profession. Nearly fifty
of these years were given to a modifica
tion of the United States laws, and it
is upon this great work that his fame
will rest. His new system of civil
procedure has been adopted in twenty
four states and territories and was
the base of the recent judicature act
in England and of the practice in
several British colonies. His revised
criminal code is now in effect in eigh
teen states and territories.
In 183? Mr. Field was appointed by
the state of New York the head of a
commission to prepare a civil and a
criminal code. These, with the two
codes of procedure named, were de
signed to supercede the unwritten or
common law. The work was com
pleted in 1865. The state cf New
York has adopted only the penal code,
bat other states have drawn largely
from the civil code in their legislation
and California and the Dakotas have
adopted all the codes in full. At the
meeting of the British association for
the promotion of social science at Man
chester in 1866, Mr. Field proposed a
general revision and codification of
international laws and secured the ap
pointment of a commission of distin
guished jurists to do the work. The
commission was unable to act in con
cert and Mr. Field took the whole
matter on himself and after a lapse of
seven years presented to the social
science congress his “Outlines of the
International Code.” This attracted
much attention in all parts of the
civilized world, was translated into
several languages and drew from an
eminent English chancellor the re
mark: “David Dudley Field has done
more for the reform of laws than any
other man living.” The result of the
code was the formation of an associa
tion for the reform and codification of
the law of nations and Mr. Field was
elected first president.
Mr. Field had always taken an ac
tive interest in politics. Originally a
Democrat, he voted with that party,
although he opposed its pro-slavery
policy, until the nomination of John
C. Fremont in 1836, whom he support
ed. Daring the civil war he staunchly
defended the administration and was
active with both pen and voice. For
eight weeks ia 1876 he filled the unex
pired term of Congressman Smith Ely,
who had been elected mayor of New
York. He then acted with the Demo
cratic party and favored Mr. Tilden,in
the belief that the decision of the
electoral commission had done a great
wrong.
Mr. Field has been married three
times, but with the exception of his
daughter, Jennie L. Field, now Lady
Anthony Musgrave, and her son and
his two surviving brothers, he was
Without immediate relatives.
Mr. Field attributed his long life,
first, to a good robust constitution,
and secondly, to plenty of exercise
and much hard work. He, further
more, never abused himself with to
bacco or strong drink.
A PICNIC FOR THE "ARMY."
Western ••Industrialists” Hiding on n
8 pec Ini Train—Plenty of Food.
Cheyexxb, Wyo., April 14.—The
“Industrial Army," under “General"
Kelly, breakfasted to-day at Ked
Buttes, the first station east of Lara*
mie. Cheyenne will supply the next
meal. All the bakers in town have
been working all night baking bread,
and 1,500 loaves and three beeves
will be given to the army when it
reaches here. The general* desire of
the army is to be taken to Denver, and
while the route after leaving here has
not been definitely decided, it is prob
able that Denver will be the objective
point. Dispatches from Union Pacific
officers who are on the industrial “spe
cial train” state the men are orderly.
Kelly's “army” decided to go to Den
ver and stop one day and then go to
Kansas City, where they expect help
from Populists.
The Whipping Post Recommended*
Sedaua, Mo', April 14.—The grand
jury, which adjourned yesterday after
a ten days’ session,' recommended the
adoption of the whipping post as sug
gested by Judge Ryland in his instruc
tions to the jury, as a punishment for
minor offenses. The jury also recom
mended the submission of a proposi
tion to the voters of the county to
bnild a $35,000 jail
Agriculture.
Warms Sorts.—It has bees demon
strated that 100 poudi of sand will
absorb SS ponds of water; 100 pounds
of loam, 44 ponds; 100 pounds day
| loam. SO pounds; 100 pounds of clay,
i 70 pounds This explains why same
i soils always appear drier than others,
| and why after a shower some soils be
i come like a thick paste, while others
| are only comoaratirely damp.—Ex.
Scirus Crt-rrvATios.—The whole
theory of modern cultivation Is that
crops do better when they sre given
surface cultivation throughout the
season. This process is much easier
j than the old-fashioned deep cultiva
tion, and it can be dene in half the
! time. By it the surface soil is kept
loose ana moist all through the season,
and this keeps the moisture near the
roots of the plants. The loose top soil
acts as a mulch to the plants, and is
invaluable in dry seasons. More and
i more every season are farmers coming
to ace that fineness of surface soil en
i courages moisture and consequently
nitrification, by capillary attraction,
which largely increases the crops in
dry weather, and as there is scarcely a
summer without dry spells, it is ad
visable to prepare for these aa early in
the season as possible.—Ex.

The Minnesota Experiment Station
has published bulletin thirty, contain
ing the results of their investigations
ss to the deterioration of our common
soils under the present unsystematic
methods of cropping. The summary
of the bulletin is as follows:
1. The continued cropping of soils to
grain crops only without any system
of rotation or other treatment is tell
ing severely upon the original stock
of half decomposed animal and
vegetable matters and nitrogen. Soils
which have produced grain craps, ex
clusively, for ten or fifteen years con
tain from a third to a half less humus
and nitrogen than adjoining soils that
have never been plowed.
2. Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased, retain
less water and dry out more readily
than when there is a larger amount of
organic matter present in the soil
3. Soils which are rich in humus
contain a larger amount of phosphates
associated with them in available
forms than the soils that are poor in
humus.
4 Soils which are rich in homos
and organic matters produce a larger
amount of carbon dioxide that acta as
a solvent upon the soil particles and
aids the roots in procuring food.
5. One-half of a sandy knoll, heavily
manured with well rotted manure,
contained nearly a quarter more water
during a six weeks' drought than toe
other half that received no manure,
5. The supply of organic matter in
the soil must be kept up because it
takes such an important part, indi
t recUy, in keeping np the fertility of
| the soil. A good system of rotation,
! including sod crops- and well prepared
| farm manures, will do this, and will
i avoid the introduction and use of cofai
| mercial fertilizers which are now cost
j ing the farmers of the United States
i over thirty-five million dollars an
! Dually. It will not do to wait until
I this question forces itself upon us.
i 7. A rotation of crops will soon be
; necessary on account of the peculiar
| composition of some of the soils and
the corresponding subsoils, especially
those in which the surface soils are
richer in phosphates and nitrogen
I while the subsoils are richer in j^tish
| and lime. By means of rotation the
| full benefits of the strong points of
| both the top soils and the subsoil will
| be secured.
■•U Exhaustion.
The richest soils in the world, if
badly used, will produce but few crops,
after which they become less and less
productive, until in the end the fields
are left barren or to weeds, says “In
dian Agriculturist.” This has hap
pened in the most fertile places, where
wheat-growing has been followed with
a persistency that may well be termed
heroic, the result being that any one
who now desires to make a living on
one of these “worn-out” farms must
undertake a settled course of improve
ment of the land. Fortunately, the
soil is really inexhaustible. It may be
misused and reduced in natural fertility
in part, but only so far as the plow has
penetrated hitherto. Below this will
be found the virgin soil, cold and coy
it may be, but yet susceptible of
awakening into the warmth of vigor
ous life and of becoming as productive
as the upper soil which preceded it.
It is a common belief that land regains
fertility by rest, and especially if the
fallows be well stirred. This is as old
as the ancient Romans, whose writers,
taking as eager an interest in agri
culture as we do at this day, often
referred to the land resting, and be
ing improved by the rest. And this is
true, for the soil is made np of earthy
particles that are slowly soluble, and,
as time passes, the water and the air
together cause these to decay, and let
loose the fertility they have held
locked up. But this is not a civilized
way to manage the land, and neither
is it the most profitable. It is an
aboriginal method, and not a scientific
one. The exhaustion of the land is
more economically prevented by the
action of vegetable growth upon it
This may be weeds only, but this is
nature's course, which she enforces
when man neglects his duty and leaves
it to slow recovery; the better way is
to cultivate and sow it, and make it
produce something profitable while it
is recovering. It has come to this,
that if farmers can not grow wheat
except by bare fallowing, then wheat
growing will have to be given up after
the virgin land has been cropped a
few times, for the simple reason that
the cost of maintaining fertility by
this process is greater than the crops
produced will pay for.
Early Potatoes.
Western Plowman gives tnis p.an
to secure early potatoes: We take a
lot of old tin cans and put them in the
stove long enough to unsolder them.
This leaves only the rim of the can.
This rim Is filled with good rich dirt,
and a part or a whole of a potato
-jlanted in it. Keep the rim together
by tying a string around it and place
the cans where they will be kept warm,
watering them with lukewarm water
frequently. When the sprouts appear
above the froaad they should be ex
poued to the mi m much m pousible.
when the proper tUpe nas ar
rired for traasplaatlng, prepare
your hilta, cot the itnin
around the era and joa will find the
earth in a compact m»n ready for
transplanting. The potatoes will
grow right along without noticing the
change and you will hare early pota
toes for your own table, and nice ones
too, if you hare attended to them
properly. This may not be practicable
in raising early potatoes to sell, bat
for home use we cun recommend it,
and at this date, while the ground Is
covered with snow, we hare new pota
toes well under way.
Om4 Draft >»m«.
At t (mot institute B. Throaaei
said: Men who genera ly use good
judgment in other things sometimes
exhibit the poorest in breeding. Thera
here been first-class stallions in this
country for a great many years, bnt
they haee not done as much as the in
ferior ones for the last few years. The
only way to account for this is by the
difference in the priee of their service
fee. Thus the good horses gradually
gave way to horses not so good, and it
is a deplorable fact that in so many
cases the good hare yielded their
places to the bad, because they would
Dot justify their owners in keeping
them. Men are often fooled by breed
ing to a good horse and a poor one
at the same time to experiment. They
find when the colts come that the one
from the cheap stallion looks as well
as the one from the imported sire.
They instantly resolve that they will
no longer pay $15 for a eolt, when, aa
they say, they can get as good a one
for $5. They certainly have failed to
observe nature's law with reference to
offspring. Had they done so, they
would have noticed that the superi
ority in blood asserts itself more de
cidedly aa the animal nears ma
turity; that the full blooded Texas
calf is as fine at two months old
as that from the Durham, but no one
will admit that it matures into so fine
an animal when it is fully developed.
A ping looks better at a very early age
than ever after, and this induces many
to breed back to the plug sire before
they have discovered their mistake.
It is too bad that after twenty yean
breeding we have made so little real
progress, but we can yet remedy the
evil. It can only be done, however,
in one way. The first step in this dl-,
rection It to sort out the plugs, Give*
them away if they will not self. The
harder they are todUpoee of, furnishes
us still further evidence of the fact
that they should be gotten rid of. Do
not allow a mare on yonr farm that ia
not a good one. When you get her
keep her if she breeds right, if not,
sell her. See that she is brad to the
best horse yon can get each year, even
though it costs you a little more to do
it than It would to breed her to the
scrub. There is only one straight and
narrow way to reach the desired point.
Puisne this course, and in n few
years you will have the satisfac
tion of owning nothing bnt good
horses. You will then be n better
Christian and the world in general
will look brighter and more promising
to yon. The next thing I wnnt to con
sider is, will it justify us to breed good
horses? It certainly will, and now ia
the time to do it- it takes four years
to raise a horse, and who knows bnt
what the price of good horses will
then be very high? They alwnys have
been, and it is reasonable to suppose
that they always will be, in demand.
They are as indispensable to this coun
try as the farm wagon or the plow.
We must have them, and the time has
come when those who use them appre
ciate good horses. Electricity may
ruin the sale of the light horse, but the
large, heavy draft horse is partially se
cure from such competition. The price
of good horses has not fluctuated ns
much as one would think, and at least
has only followed the general decline
brought about by the existing condi
tions. When Isay raise good noraes, I
mean good ones. Not what we thought
were good ones ten years ago, but
ones that would be considered good at
the present time. People have learned
something in the last few years. They
have at least discovered that a low
down, heavy horse is the kind for
draft purposes. It is bnt a principle
of mechanics they should have learned
at school, but it seems we learn the
lessons of this lifer only by experience.
They now want the draft horse heavy,
because they want him strong and for
the purpose of draft work only. They
want him low down because the day
light under him does not add anything
to his strength. They want him
blocky because he will keep fat on
half the feed that a long rangy horse
will, and the farmer wants him the
same way because the eastern buyer
does, and for the further reason that
he has to feed him only three yean to
mature him, instead of five, as he
used to the long, lank horses of the
past.—Farmers' Review.
Gnowise Cabbage.—No vegetable
does wall on a stiff or clayey subsoil.
Pulverise the soil well with a plow and
harrow. Many prefer spading, but for
me, not much. Too much work, and
besides I can do better work with a
good plow and team of horses. I am
satisfied that it is a good plan to plow
the cabbage ground in the fall, if not,
in fact, all the garden. It turns the
soil up to be pulverized by the action
of the frost and also turns up many in
sects (the eggs and larva;) to be des
troyed by the same agent. Manure
thoroughly and evenly about two or
three inches deep. Cow and horse ma
nure mixed and well rotted can not
be beat Horse manure alone is not
what is wanted, as it heats so violently.
PATRIOTIC.
“How’d O'Shaughneasy come to give
up his job on the police force?”
“The captain assigned him to a beat
in the park with instructions to see
that people didn’t wear away the grass
by walking on it”
“What was wrong with an assign
ment like that? It strikes me as being
dead easy.”
“Oh, it was easy enough, but
O'Shaughnessy was too much of an
Irishman to keep anybody from wear

Cbolly (at the Samoan village)—If
you give that fellow 5 cents he'll rub
two sticks of wood together till they
make fire.
Fweddy—Five cents? It’s a wascally
swindle. Five cents will buy two
bawxes of matches, bah Jove.
