Poland nnd Rutier

A Washington dispatch to the tribune,
says that many funny scenes occurred on
the floor of the House during the long ses-
sion OF Wednesday night. One of the
more exciting of these was colloquy be-
tween Judge Poland and Gen. Butler. The
independence and honesty which the for
mer displayed in bis report on the Arkansas
investigation have brought down upon him
the wrath of the Administration clique In
the Republican party, ard 1t is as fashion
able among them now to abuse him and
accuse him of betraying his party as it was
to call the Liberal Republicans traitors in
1879. The kitchen organ of the Admins
tration is constant in its attacks. and The
Sunday Illustrated Chronicle a short time
ago resorted to Caricature The Arkansas
Radicals have also defeated Judge Polands
appointment to be United States District
Judge in the place of Judge Smalley, re-
tired, having convinced the President that
MIR. Poland is not sound in a party sense.
During the night session Messrs. Poland
and Butler we've discussing privately upon
the floor which measure, the Arkansas re-
port or the Force bill, ought to take pre-
cedence, when Gen. Butler said, 81 don't
believe you have any desire or intention to
get your resolution upon Arkansas before
the house."
To that Judge Poland replied "You
have no right to say that What evidence
have you p
Gen. Butler--"None, perhaps, but be-
lieve it"
Judge Poland-'I don't believe that you
believe what you say you believe"
Gen. Butler-"I do believe it,"
Judge Poland-'I believe that you are

Gen. Butler-"My courage, sir has
never been lmpeached. am quite able to
resent an accusation like that. You had
better be careful"
Judge Poland-"I don't think have
great courage, but have quite enough for
this occasion. Not much is needed"
At this point the two men departed, and
as Judge Poland turned around Mr.. Lamar
OF Mississippi, who stood at his elbow, re.
marked that he thought that Judge Poland
might have needed some assistance, and in
timated that he was ready to render it. Mr..
Poland thanked Mr.. Lamar very cordially,
but remarked in his very dignifed way, II

We would that every republican could
read the speech of Mr.. Willard of Mich
igan, himself a republican of the straight
est sect, in the house, Friday evening, on
the force bill. We would that they would
not only read, but ponder and act thereon.
He said that the general welfare demand
ed that, in the capitol and everywhere
throughout the land, all hostile thoughts
and memories associated with the war
should be placed at once and forever in the
tomb of everlasting forgetfullness beyond
any attempt at resurrection" This, mind
you, was republican speaking to repub-
licans, and do you not think that he
preached the true gospel of peace and re-

the full speech before our readers. but we
have space but for single further extract.

for the black man is his safety for the

of the law under arms has been anxously
awaited. Let the bayonets yield to the

On Saturday IN the house, while the roll
was being called ON the motion to amend
the caucus force bill by striking out the
last section relative to the writ of habeas
corpus, the most intense excitement pre-
vailed as to the result. The speaker had
placed MIR. Cessna in the chair and had
come down to the desk of the journal clerk
where he watched the names as they were
marked off. A large number of members
collected around the desk, among whom
was Butler, who seemed to resent the keen
interest MIR. Blaine was taking in the result.
Presently, a point OF order was made by a
member on the democratic side of the
house that members should not stand
around the clerks desk while the roll was
being called. The point of order was sus-
tanned, and members were directed to take
their seats. Every one left except the
speaker. In few seconds Butler left his
seat and marched up to within few feet
of where Blaine was standing. A member

sets declared that he had the same rights
as the speaker, to which Butler, walking
out in front of him, answered MY

speaker leaves the chair his place is on the
floor" This seemed to enrage Blame still
more, while it riveted the attention of the
whole house. A pin might have almost
been heard to drop, and the occupants of
the galleries strained forward TO watch
every incident in the strange and extraor
binary scene that was taking place beneath
them. Butler then went To his seat. and
made from it the point of order almost in
the identical words he had uttered in res
ponse to Blaine's personal interrogatory
Some confusion followed and Blaine bound

the gavel to Cessna, and resumed
his position near the tally clerk. Butler

Butler, and Blaine remained master of the
situation, Butler going to his seat. The

minutes, but it was absolutely thrilling

THE FORCE BILL.
Hon. Luke p. Poiand's Remarks
in the House on Saturday.

Mr.. Poland of Vermont, also opposed the
bill In strong speech. He said he was
specially opposed to the first and second
sections of the bill, because the offenses
therein described were offenses against the
state and not against the United States. He
argued that the power given to Congress
in the constitution to call out the militia to
repel invasions referred to invasion by a
| foreign foe, and by an armed military
force, though the guarantee clause in
| the fourth section of article four might
well include an Eruption into one state by
an armed military force from another. The
| protection contemplated was by military
| force to drive away or destroy the invaders
| The invasion must be an invasion in real
| ity. 1t would not Go to create an artificial
| sham invasion by law, and to punish it by
| penalties. To make an unlawful inter
meddling by two unarmed men against any
state officer or state law an invasion within
the meaning of the constitution. was a
mere sham and farce. Even if Congress
had the power, he did not believe that
there could be any necessity for it TO as
sumo jurisdiction over offenses that were
clearly within the purview of state power,
| and that were punished by the laws of
| every state. The fourth section OF the
bill provides for Furnishing state officers for
violating state laws, but he knew of no att
thority in the constitution, which clothed
Congress with any such power. He oh
jected TO the thirteenth section, authoriz-
ing the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus. 1t was not claimed
but that the courts in all parts
OF the Union were open and in the free ex-
ercise of their full legal power and jurls-
diction, nor that the executive officers of
the law could not perform their duties,
serve processes, or make arrests anywhere
and everywhere. The fact that the laws
were not well administered that judges
were partial, or that grand juries or trial
jurles neglected or disregarded their duties.
furnished M ground Tor the suspension of
the writ IT had never been supposed to
be needful or juslliable to suspend the
great writ of personal liberty. except IN
times OF great danger, when the officers
and tribunals of the law were powerless, or
were so obstru tied as to be practically I'M
able to enforce the laws and afford pro-
lection to person and property. Ills op-
position to the section did not in the sli tlit-

MRS. Gertrude Elizabeth SeIden.

Mrs. Gertrude Elizabeth SeIden.
Mrs. Gertrude Elizabeth Selden was born
in the city of New York, Dec. 9th, 1901
and was consequently in the 74th year of
her age ut her death Feb. 2lst, 1875. She
was the oldest child and only daughter of
Abraham and Sarah Richards of that city.
Her father, who was an extensive exporter
of cotton and spent much of his time at
Savannah, Ga, sent her at the age of four
years to New Canaan, Ct, to be educated
by her paternal grandmother and maiden
aunt at the ancestral homestead. At the
age of twelve she was placed in boarding
school at Danbury, Ct, under the instruc-
tion OF Miss Seely, distinguished at Dan
bury, and afterwards at New Haven as one
of the ablest teachers of that period. In
1916 she accompanied her father, Mr..
Richards to Europe, where she spent the
summer in travel 1t was during
this her first visit to Europe that
she made the acquaintance of
her future husband, who was then
prominently connected with the Liverpool
firm. After her return she completed her
education in New York city, giving special
attention to literature and music. She
early became a member of the Prcsby-
terrain church in New York, under the
charge of the celebrated scholar and divine
DIR. John Mason, for whose character and
abilities | have often heard her express the
greatest admiration. 1t was q period of
much religious controversy in which those
about her took the liveliest interest. Her
mind was thus early trained in theological
discussion, and was strengthened and en-
riched by its attcmps to grasp the great
truths of religion.
AT the age of 10 she was married to
David Selden, Esq, of New York. Three
years after her marriage she removed to
Liverpool, England, whittier her husband
had preceded her to take the place of her
uncle Silas Richards, esq, who had just
died there in charge of the largest cotton
importing house i'll the city Here she re-
sided for about ID years uniting with the
Independent or Congregational church, I'M
der the pastorate of Dr. Raffles, from
which she never removed her relation.
Leaving Liverpool, she spent about two
years IN Paris, and one in London, before
returning to this country. On her return
it being decided to educate her sons at Yale
college, she took up her residence at New
Haven, Connecticut, where she remain
ed from 1880 to 1857. while her four elder
sons were receiving their education. Re-
moving thence to New York she continued
to reside in that city till about four years
after the death of her husband, which oc-
Cured Feb. 90, 1861. In 1865 she removed
to Brandon, VT, to take charge of the,
family of her eldest son, Dea. H.. ID. Selden
whose wife had died the preceding year.
OF her eleven children, six survive to
mourn her loss, all of whom were present
at her funeral.
The above biographical sketch is taken
from the address OF Rev. Franklin Tux

His opening argument for Henry Ward
Beecher is an able, shrewd, powerful effort,
and cannot fail of exerting profound in
tiuence on public opinion. Indeed, admit
ting il to be true and the case stated sus-
ceptible of proof, it is most perfect and
complete vindicatop of Mr.. Beecher and
many there are who will accept of it as
such vindication, and regard Tilton and
Moulton as the men he has painted them
to be, without much attention to future
proof. 1t must be admitted that his theory
is very plausible. that the idea of con-
spiracy on the part of Tilton, Moulton and
Bowen has an air OF probability, and if it
should transpire-and Tracy says it will
be proven-that the original charge was
not of adultery but of something else, that
no ''crime," only an ''offense," was alleg-
ed, we shall be able to understand the letter
of "apology" or "contriton,' and to con-
strue IT without the necessity of believing
that Mr.. Beecher is either a fool or
knave. 1t must be confessed, however,
that the plaintiff has made strong show
ing, and that however much some may &C.
cept Tracy's argument as law and gospel,
others, and the majority, will await the
promised proof before they fully determine
in their own minds whether Tilton and

terer General Tracy's speech has, in any
event, proved interesting reading to the
Bowens, Moultons and Woodhulls, and, as
a result, they have committed the astound-
ing folly of rushing into print with cards,
denials and explanations. We apprehend
that the like was never heard of before, we
trust that it will never be again. If these
cards have any effect, it will be directly
counter to that intended, for the public un-
derstand that it is only the wounded bird

While Congress hesita,es. and in hesitat-

ing, neglects and refuses to enforce law
of their own enacting, 1t is well that little
vitality Is displayed elsewhere. If Congress
thinks, as 1t apparently does, that person,
VIGOROUSLY, shamefully and confessedly
guilty'of the crime of polygamy, is fit

there is at least a prospect that polygam.
Gus marriage is not to be held indissoluble,
and that a woman can procure some relief
from It's CALLING letters. Ann Eliza Young
is not to be compelled to bear the entire pc
cuniary burden of her suit for divorce from
Brigham Young-a suit upon the determi-
nation of which much of the fate of Nor
monism depends. Judge McKeon, of the
Utah court, has ordered that Ann Eliza
be paid alimony at the rate of five hun
dred dollars month, dating from the CON-
mencement of her suit, and that, of this
sum, nine thousand FIVE hundred dollars be
paid within twenty days, and an attorney
fee of three thousand dollars within the
same time. This is a righteous decision,
and only made possible by the Poland law,
so.called. BY it, the court recognize her
as Brighams wife under the Mormon law
of Utah, virtually override the defense
that polygamous marriages are Or were not
recognized by such law and that only the
first wife was considered legally as such,
and deciding that polygamy so far vtiates
such marriages that the courts will grant
relief in suits for divorce. If the final de-
cision goes to this length, as it undoubtedly
will, it will contribute materially to the
overthrow of polygamy and, consequently,
of Mornonsm. There is a kind of real, as
as well as poetic, justice in compelling
Brigham to furnish the snews of war with
which his own defeat and that of his pre-
tended religion may be accomplished.

stove Manufacturers.

There are in the United States about $50
foundries engaged in the manufacture of
stoves and furnaces, using annually $780,
900 tons of iron. Of stoves alone It is esti-
mated by Mr. Perry of Albany, who is re-
garded as the best authority upon this sub
ject, that the 275 foundries engaged in the
business in 1871 produced Q 1900, 900 stoves.
This, of course. does not include heating
furnaces. In 1880 the estimated number
of stoves made in this country was 20, 900;
10 1910, 100000; in 1850, $40, 900 In 1860,
100000 IN 1870, 100000 valued at
S37 100000. The value of heating fur
naces annually made in the country will
amount to $20,000,000. Forty years ago
the amount of cast iron used in the con-
struction of house in Bost On did not usu-
ally exceed in value ten dollars nor in
weight 100 pounds. Now the cost of the
heating and cooking apparatus in first
class house frequently reaches $4,000, and
in weight of material several tons. And if
you build country house costing $4,000
or $4,000 the stove dealers bill will often
amount to from $500 to 81 900 for what is
deemed only necessary heating and cook
ing apparatus. Since the period first nam
ed this branch of the iron trade may be
almost said to have been created, rising in
value from a few hundred thousand dollars
to more than $60,000,000 per annum, and
in its consumption of iron, from few Eun-
dred tons to an amount equal to one-fourth
of the production of all the furnaces in the
country. The number of stoves produced
in 1874 IS estimated at 1905, 1G5, valued at
$40 100000.
