P,sSED TIE SENATE.

The Miller anti Chinese bill passed
the Senate last evening by . vote Of 90
to 10. and the people Of the Pacific
Coast may well congratulate themselves.
as il is doubtful II q bill in o long time
has met such determined opposition rs
has the Miller bill. The arguments
against its passage were well met and .
gallant fight made by some Of the Pacific
Coast delegation. whose un,iring efforts
should be remembered by the people
and their reward DO commemorate with
the service they have rendered. The
bill passed by q good majority. Is the
Nrws predicted it would; but had the
discussions been prolonged. some Of the
narrow.minded legislators who are indii-
ferent 10 the wants OF the people beyond
the localities they represent might not
have been retained to favor the bill. As
1t Is. the showing is a good one. and we
may well be thankful that so much has
been accomplished.
According to . dispatch received. the
fate oil the bill in the House is doubtful.
1t Is claimed that body has been dilatory.
and the result is an accumulation Of
arrears OF work. and the chances are
considered slim for the passage Of q bill
that will excite debate. It Is scarcely
fair to PREJUDICE the action OF the House
with regard to the Miller bill. Whatever
may have been their course in the con-
sidsra,ion Of measures that may not have
required immediate action. 1t is but q
reasonable superstition that this bill will

the attention Of the people OF the whole

disposition OF the bill by tbs Senate will
assursdly DO an incentive for the House
to give 1t that early attention the subject

and Is reasonably certain, that the bill
will not encounter such opposition rs ii

DANIEL WEBSTER.

AS the Boston Journal says:
''Those who have been predicting
that New England would allow the
centennial of the birth of Webster to
pass unnoticed, after reading the ed
itorials in New England journals and
the speeches at the Marshfeld Club
dinner in Boston, and the commem-
orative exercises at Concord, Exeter,
n. H., and other places, cannot con-
graduate themselves on their gifts of
prophecy or their acquaintance with
New England sentiment. The
Marshfield Club dinner was notable
affair, in that its list of speakers
embraced men who were Mr.. Web
ster's associates in public life, those
who can remember him in his later
years, and still others who were but
children when he died. All of these
speeches, whether delivered by Re-
publicans or Democrats, show that
all prominent New England men rec
ognize the intellectual greatness and
the valuable services of Webster to
the nation. Ex-Mayor Prince pre-
sided with his usual grace, and his
speech, like all of his public efforts,
is model. Gov. Longs speech is
an appreciative and eloquent tribute
to Massachusetts greatest statesman
of the last generation. Mr.. Win
throp, who was the political associate
of Webster, with his rare felicity.
spoke of the great man as. he knew
him. Senator jones' of Florids
showed by his appreciative speech
that he is familiar with the great man
The other speeches of the evening
were of high order. In Concord, n
A., Colonel George delivered an elo
quent tribute to the great man wht
was born, educated and started upol
his wonderful career in the Grant,
State.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT,

Acknowledgement Cleaves, of
Maine, in his annual report, favors
the restoration of capital punishment.
He says the convictions for murder
in the first degree during the present
year alone exceeded the number dur
ing the three years previous to the
abolition of the death penalty, and
are nearly equal to the number oc-
curing during the three years follow
ing.
There would be carnival of blood
in the State of New York if chang
ing were played out" as some muir
derers have said it was, when they
saw the escape of their companions.
The District Attorney of this city
once said to us that no man could
hold his office without becoming
thoroughly convinced of the right and
expediency of capital punishment.
Such is the drift of opinion as we
gather it from many quarters. 1t is
no time now to talk about removing
the just penalty of murder.
AS we are daily compelled to read
of the many bloody crimes that fill
the newspapers with the fearful evil
dences of the depravity of man, we
are led to pray that the arm of the
law may be made stronger, punish
ment more certain, and justice sure,

EDWIN w. STOUGHTON,

The Windsor Journals New York
correspondent says: "By the death
of the Hon. Edwin w. Stoughton,
Vermont has lost a worthy son and
New York distinguished lawyer and
citizen. He is mourned here by men
of all parties. There was no more
conspicuous figure than his to be seen
in our streets. His dignifed bearing,
his rosy face and snow-white hair
made him the observed of observers.
For years he has appeared to be the
personifcation of robust health, and
it is said that until recently, since his
service as Minister to Russia, he was
accustomed to remark that he had
never been sick day in his life. He
commenced the practice of law in this
city at an early age; and he was
quite young, when, after three years
struggle against William H. Seward
in an important patent case, in which
he triumphed, he thereby established
his reputation as lawyer of ability.
Among the important cases in which
he was counsel was that of the Wood
worth planning machine, the Goodyear
India rubber patents, and the Emma
mine litigation. 1t was my good for
tune to hear portion of his argument
in the latter case to the jury in behalf
of the company. 1t was an able
effort. The Tribune had the follow
ing tribute: "A most conspicuous
figure has been removed from oul
local courts by the death of ex-Minis

SCOVILLE AS A CRANK.

Mr.. Scoville's attack, Wednesday,
on President Arthur, Gen. Grant and
ex-senator Conkling was villainous.
A lawyer in tight place may be ex-
cused for good many savage thrusts
at opposing counsel and damaging
witnesses, but in attempting to pro-
duce an effect upon the jury by as
saulting men who could be connect
ed with the case only by an extreme
stretch of even an unbalanced magi-
nation, was to oyershoot the mark.
1t hurt Mr.. Scoville and his client
more than it helped them. The
country has been disposed to give
Mr.. Scoville fair play, and his COM
plant that the government and the
court have persistently hindered him
in the prosecution of his case, is re.
ceived with derision. Greater free.
dom was never allowed in the defense
of any case, and Judge Cox has beer
severely criticised because of the lax
ity of discipline in the court. The
impression left by Scoyille's violen
harangue is that he is as bad cranl
as his client. His assistant, Col
Reed, squirmed under the infiction
and both he and Guiteau wanted SEQ
vile to stop at noon. 1t will b.
wonderful if such abuse has any eff
feet upon the jurymen other than t.
thoroughly disgust them with the de

frauds cannot continue by the con-
sent of Congress without lessening
the respect and confidence of the
masses for public men and for the
Government, if it does not have an
Influence to lower the standard of in
tegrity among the people.
We are aware that such sugges-
tons as the above are not popular
with many well-meaning men. We
have received letters from several of
our readers who express the greatest
Indignation because of our continual
hostility to the Arrears of Pensions
law. They ask us as if we gurdge
the manned soldier the price of his
blood; if we have forgotten the debt
the country owes to the men who
fought it's battles. We implore these
well-meaning men to be clam. There
is not a right-minded man in the
country who would not deal gener-
ously with all those who were really
injured in limb or health by reason of
their service in the late war. But
because we favor liberal policy
toward those who really suffered and
who are disabled in any degree, we
are not necessarily in favor, of pen
sioning hundreds of men who have
no honest claim upon the Govern
ment- simply because their names
were upon the muster-rolls-and who
would not have thought of pension
were it not that greedy claim agents
put them in mind of it and persuad-
ed them to sign the papers and share
the venture with them. Indeed, the
most serious objection to the Arrears
of Pensions bill when it was pending
was, that it would be an incentive to
wholesale forgery, perjury and pecu-
lation. That is the chief objection
now; and how to stop it is the ques-
ton for Congress to consider

Hon. John w. Rowell, the newly
appointed judge, was born in Leba-
non, n. H., June 8, 1885, and is con-
sequently 46 years of age. He fitted
for college at West Randolph -acade-
my, and soon after studied law at
that place, and was admitted to the
bar of Orange county in 1859. He
was states attorney for Orange county
in 1862 and '63, and represented the
town of Randolph in 1861, and was
senator from Orange county in 1874.
He was elected by the legislature of
1872 reporter of the decisions of the
supreme court, which office he held
until 1880, when he declined to fur
ther serve in that capacity. Mr..
Rowell is self-made man, but learn
ed in the law, and for several years
has been the acknowledged leader of
the bar of Orange county, and in the
enjoyment of a lucrative practice,
from which he has secured a compe-
tency. He was a candidate for the
judgeship before the last legislature,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
dropping of Judge Barrett, but was
unsuccessful. Judge Rowell, evident
ly, is not one of the greatest of great
men, but we opine will make high
minded. honorable Justice.

brakes; this could easily be done, as
there was a cord running through the
several cars which composed the train
which was connected with valve,
and was placed there as a precaution
against accidents. On being asked
why he thought the train was stopped
by some Of the passengers, he said !:
There was party on the train who
were singing, smashing hats and con-
Quoting themselves in very dis
graceful manner. They were passing
around bottles of whiskey, and the
foundation of that accident was rum.
He had not sufficient help on the train
to stop such proceedings. Among
the passengers were any number OF
ex-C oroners, Senators, Assembly
men and Aldermen, and he could not
deprive them of their bottles. This
was an everyday occurrence, but
more especially SO on Fridays.
Frank Burr, the engineer of the Tar
rytown train, testified that he had
passed $50 feet out of the cut before
he saw Melius his train running at 6
speed of 20 miles an hour. The
brakeman he saw was standing about
50 feet from the rear of his train
In the cut an engineer could not SEE

THE ARREARS OF PENSIONS
ACT I'm THE SENATE.

The Senate is spending some time
in discussing the Arrears of Pensions
act, but thus far the discussion has
been proftless because it has been
confined to the consideration of the
influences under which the measure
became law. This can do no good
and we may add that time devoted to
the discussion of Mr.. Ingalls, reso-
luton opposing the repeal of the law
will be wasted. There is nothing
upon which to base an expectation
that Congfess will repeal1it. Conse-
quently, any discussion upon that
proposition will be wasted. The on
ly practical question is that which re-
lates to the stopping the further pay
ment of pensions fraudulently secur-
ed, and to the preventing of frauds
now contemplated. Ex-Commission-
er of Pensions Bentley and ex-Secre-
tary of the Interior Schurz urged the
