TREE PLANTING.
Manager Hill Contracts for Trees as Wind
Breaks.

Manager Hill Contracts for Trees as Wind
Breaks.
General Manager Hill, of the st. Paul &
Manitoba road, has become SO we'll satisfied
of the value of trees for wind and snow breaks
the well known practical tree grower and cul-
tivatOr, and secretary of the State
Forestry Association, for lining all the
Gu of the Morris & Browns Valley branch
with young trees upon the same plan inaugu-
rated on the main line of the First Division
of the st. Paul q Pacific road. by Hon. Geo.
L. Becker, when president of that corporation
The length of road embraced in Mr.. Hodges
contract, is about forty miles, in which
distance there are thirty cuts, which it
will be remembered the company
were unable to keep open for weeks at time
last winter, though at times having two and
three hundred men employed in the work.
Mr.. Hodges feels considerably elated over
receiving the contract, not so much for the
value of the contract itself, as from the fact
that it is an endorsement by one of the clear
est headed and far seeing railroad managers in
the Northwest, Of his theory, first given a
practical trial under the administration
Of President Becker, that cultivated tree wind
tnd snow breaks, were both more economical
and effective than any other system in a prairie
country. AS an indication of the effectiveness
of tree breaks, he mentions the strip of road
four miles each way from Kapdiyohi station,
on what will be known as the main line, in
which distance there are about the same num-
Der of cuts as on the Morris and Browns Val
ley branch, and equally liable to fill and OBJ
,truct the road. Tree breaks were constructed
dong the cuts some FIVE years ago, and so
well did they meet the objects for which the
trees were planted, though little of any care
has been bestowed upon them for three wears
cast, that three men last winter had no
trouble in keeping the eight miles of tree
protected road open TO travel, while as stated
above, two to three hundred men were unable
to open nearly the same number of cuts, and
keep them open, for weeks at
a time on the Browns Valley
branch. With such practical illustration as
this before him, it is little wonder that so
practical man as Manager Hill has deter
mined to apply the same system of protection
from storms to other unprotected portions Of
he road under his management

The NIinstrels To- Night.

Haverly's New Mastodon Ministries, forty
strong, will open at the Opera house this
evening. The Chicago Times has the follow
ing to say of the company:
The New Haverly Mastodon minstrels COM
menced their engagement at Haverly's thea
ter on last evening under the most fiattering
auspices. for the house could scarcely have
afforded room for another listener. Haverly
must have smiled when he read the telegram
giving the receipts of the house. for they were
so large as to represent in dollars nearly every
seat in it. The original plan of the Mastodon
MINISTRIES has been well carried out in the for
nation of the present troupe, which, to judge
from the strength and general ability of the
company, is far superior to the old Mastodons.
The theater was crammed full of people who
seemed thoroughly to enjoy the show, as the
applause was almost continuous,

GARFIELD AND CONKLING.
Gdr1ield's Speech at the Chicago Contention
Witch Sared the Vest Virginia Delegates.

Garield's speech at the Chicago Contention
Witch SGred the Vest Yirginia Delegates.
Elsewhere we record at length an episode of
the Chicago convention. Conkling had offered
a resolution binding the delegates to support
the nominees of the convention. Three dele
gates from West Virginia voted in the mega
tive. Conkling then offered resolution for
their expulsion. This was about to carry
when Gen. Garfield arose and said:

error and before they act beg leave to state the
case Every delegate in this convention except

the three delegates from West Virginia, the distin
guished gentleman from New York will deem 1t
matter of pleasure on his part to withdraw the
luton and allow the convention to proceed to bust

To avoid defeat which was inevitable after
this speech, Conkling, a few minutes later,
withdrew the resolution.

The Stallion Race at Rochester.

The grandest trotting race ever seen was
that for stations for purse of $4,000 at
Rochester, Monday, July4 The entries were
ten in number, of whom seven started, Vol
taire, Independence and Amber being drawn.
The starters, with their drivers, were as
follows: Francis Alexander, driver Gus Will
son; Robert McGregor, w. A. Craw-
ford; Santa Claus, OrrIn Hickok;
Hannis, II ohm Turner; Wedgewood, John Splan;
Bouesetter, w. II. (Knapsack) McCarty; Mon
roe Chief, James A. Dustin.
Here were seven of the best entire horses in
the country, handled by seven of the most ac-
complished, reliable and artistic reinsmen of
the day. 1t took seven heats to decide the
race, Francis Alexander taking the first, fourth
and seventh heats, Robert McGregor the
second and third, and Santa Claus, the Califor-
mia wonder, the fifth and sixth, winning
the three first moneys in the order
named, while John Turner succeeded in giving
Hannis fourth money, Wedgewood Bonesetter
and Monroe Chief falling to get place.
There was not sign of a job in this race,
to finish. McGregor was made rank favor
lite IN the pools before the horses were started,
selling at S150 to 500 for Alexander, $40 70
Santa Claus, $40 for Wedgewood, $50 fol
Hannis, SIT for Monroe Chief, and SO for
Bonesetter. Even after Alexander took th
first heat McGregOr was retained as fayOrite,
commanding $50 for 500 to $50 for the bal
ance, and after he had taken the next two heats,
the last, the third, in 2:182, the fastest in the
race, his stock went up with bound lie
bringing $50 to S11 for the balance. The next
heat, the fourth, was The most exciting Of
the race, Alexander taking slight lead at the
start, closely pursued by McGregor and Sant,
Claus. Swinging into the stretch McGregOr
got on even terms with Alexander, down
when there was most determined struggle,
both drivers urging their horses to their
utmost, Crawford crowding McGregOr SO that
he broke and ran across the finish, for which,
after long. deliberaton, the judges
set him back to second place, Civ
ing the heat 20 Alexander. The
next two heats were taken by Santa Claus. AT
the end of the fifth heat, Hannis, Wedgewood,
Bonesetter and Monroe Chief were sent to the
stable under the rules, not having won heat.
The seventh and last heat between Alexander,
McGregor and Santa Claus, was desperate
struggle from the start, with close
finish, but Alexander's speed and staying
qualities were equal to the occasion, and he
won, and with the heat, one of the best con-
tested races ever trotted. Considering that
the track was very heavy from a soaking rain
in the morning, the time was very fast: 2:19,
219, 2:1SX, 2:194 2:21, 1928, 2:25H.

of the Turf, is one of the most beautiful
horses in the whole country; and as black as

he so gloriously won on Independence Day.
His gate is easy, and on the sliding scale, i. c.
one that promises to slide very low into teens.
He was foaled in 1874, and is therefore but
years old; and was purchased something less
than three years ago by his present owner, Mr..
W.. C. France, of his breeder, Mr.. John IL.
Lamb, of Jerseyvlle, H., who lis now the
fortunate owner of his dam. Alexander's sire
was Ben Patchen, (Gen. Lyon, a son of the
fast horse Burlington, by Geo. M. Patchen, by
Cassius M. Clay. The dam of Alexander,
was by Canada Jack, son of Roadhouse's St.
Lawrence. Therefore, neither HambletOnian
or Mambrino Chief can lay claim to any of the
honor won by Alexander.

THE INSANITY PLEA,

They say that Guiteau was insane To-
morrow, or the next day, we shall prob
ably hear that another great crime has
been committed by some ''insane'' man.
Crimes committed by ''insane" men have
become unnecessarily frequent. Our
laws in reference to this subject need
radical change. They are altogether too
loose. A great many villains have be-
come insane enough to commit crimes
who would never have been insane at all /,
but for the defect in our laws that en-
courages insanity. The law on
the subject as laid down by
most of our courts allows the
jury to find the prisoner "not guilty by
reason of insanity" if, in their judgment
he was, at the time he committed the act
for which he is on trial, mentally inca
pable of judging between right and
wrong with reference to that particular
act" Under this liberal construction of
the law hundreds have been insane and
committed crimes, who had no business
to be insane, who would not have been
under proper laws. Under this law it is
very easy for disappointed politician, or
a disappointed lover, or an unfortunate
gambler, to brood over fancied wrongs
until he has worked himself into that de-
gree of insanity that will enable him to
commit crime and escape the penalty of
the law A certainty of dark cell or a
hempen necktie would prove wonderful
mental tonic in such cases.
This liberality of the courts is the re-
suit, no doubt, of sympathy with injured
husbands and fathers and brothers, who
have inflicted summary punishment on
the invaders of their homes. The defence
in such cases is generally insanity, and
if the jury can be made to believe that
the party on trial was really injured, he
is generally acquitted on that plea. The
public almost invariably approve such
verdict. But the law would far better
allow the jury to acquit, in such cases, on
the ground of excusable homicide, or else
punish avenging husbands and fathers
and brothers like other murderers, than
to encourage repetition of the recent
crime at Washington.

as soon as the roll call was completed and
the vote was announced, Senator Conk-
ling offered the following resolution of
expulsion:
Resolucd, That the delegates who have voted
that they will not abide the action of the con-
ventiOn do not deserve and have forfeited their
seats In the convention.
Thunders of applause greeted this reso
luton. The opposing delegates vainly
attempted to explain. Kisses and disor
derby cries drowned their utterances. Sew
eral delegates advocated the expulsion
clause, and their utterances were bolster
ously cheered. AS the vote was
about to be taken Gen. Garfield arose.
His seat was in about the center of the
body of delegates and he mounted upon
the bench where he had been sitting. The
noisy convention and more noisy galleries
partially quieted as they saw who was
about to address them. He began:
81 fear this convention is about to commit
a great error, and before they act beg leave
10 state the case"
ID
Gen. Garfield was about to defend the
recusant delegates from West Virginia,
and the convention became interestedly
quiet. He proceeded to estate the case"
in brief but eloquent speech, which we
quote elsewhere. When he was through
the tide had turned. A delegate arose
and moved to lay Conkling's motion on
the table.
Conkling vainly sought to stem the
current He did not wish to directly re-
cede from his position and he desired
some excuse to withdraw the resolu-
ton. He asked the chair if
the offending delegates had stated
in their speeches that they would
support the nominee, but Mr.. Hoar de-
cllned to speak for them. The call of the
States was ordered on the motion to lay
on the table, but before it began Mr..
Conkling arose, and stating that rather
than run the risk of doing injustice he
would withdraw the resolution.
Those who were present will be able
to recall the correctness of this portrait
ure. No public body was ever more di-
rectly swayed and turned from their
purpose by one man than was that body
changed by Gen. Garfield. Conkling was
directly defeated, and retreated in as
good order as possible where but mo-
ment before he was apparent master
of the situation. The second time he
crossed swords with Garfield was in re-
gard to the New York collectorship, and
the result was still more disastrous.

Tree Bounty Blanks.

Hon. Leonard B. Hodges, secretary of the
State Tree Forestry association, desires county
auditors to know that it is impossible for him
to comply with the act of the legislature re-
quiring him to furnish blanks upon which to
make claims for bounties under the tree
planting act, from the fact that the last legis-
lature neglected to make an appropriation to
the association, and it now is, and has been
for months, without funds. The secretary is
spending considerable of his own money in
answering correspondence pertaining to the
association and his Office, but it will hardly be
expected by anyone, that he will use his pri-
vate means to furnish the blanks in question
