LIKE MAN LIKE COUNSEL.

The argument of Lawyer Thompson
for the defense in the Pollard Breckin-
ridge case yesterday was almost as dis
graceful as the testimony in the case
itself. One who was present says the
tone was low, the language unrefined,
the expressions revolving and in many
instances ribald and bordering upon the
sa:rilegious, so disgraceful in fact that
Judge Bradley at one time felt compelled
to interrupt the attorney and inform him
that such language could not be used in
that court room. Breckenridge seems
to have collected around him in his de-
fense men of his own stamp. and their
attempts to tighten the black hideous-
ness of their clients life 10y painting his
partner in sin as black as possible has
signally failed.
She is a woman Of low morals as her
whole life shows, with almost none of
those finer moral sensibilities supposed
to be the characteristics of her sex, but
she has proved herself infinitely supe-
rior 10 her paramour, aud while
she may not be entitled 10
recover damages, she has demonstrated
at least that she was the less criminal
Of the twain, and has proven shrewder
than her quondam lover by securing
gentlemen and able lawyers to conduct
her case.
IL is to be hoped that this flood Of
nastiness will soon begin to subside, and
that the public will be spared the infic-
tion of similar case for many years to
come. The only defense Breckin-
ridge has to Offer is that
he at 81 years was man of passion.
and She girl Of 10 or 90 years old was
"a woman Of passion. and that what he
did was no worse than what other men
do, and that the girl was bad anyway:
while his counsel appeals to the Jury
from the low standpoint that is insult
ing 10 the men who are to sit in judg-
ment ON the case. namely: that they
would do the same under similar cir
cumstanoes. II ever man courted

FOR WILD CAT BANKS.

The Democratic caucus last evening
was in session for nearly three hours,
and the resolution was adopted without
a dissenting voice "that it is the sense
of this caucus that the prohibitory tax
of10 per cent. of bank issues be repealed" :"
As The News has feared, the Demo
Gratis in their craze after cheap
money are willing TO go TO
any excess and now once more
the attempt is to be made by them to
revive the wildcat bank issues that
brought this country to the verge of ruin
years ago under previous Democratic
administration.
Under ordinary circumstances this
action of the House Democrats would
be most alarming for with the Demo-
cratic party in full possession of the
government it would ordinarily be true
that any Democratic measure was sure
of enactment into law, but the ordi-
nary conditions do not prevail and it by
no means follows today that any
Democratic measure is sure Of passage.
This resolution is accompanied by
another that the bill TO repeal the State
tax shall be considered as rider TO the
Brawley bill, which is now on the cal
endar. This shows the earnestness of
the Democrats in their attempt to secure
a law which will enable them to issue
money TO their hearts content. They
believe in imitation they believe in
wildcat banking; and they will stop at
nothing to secure the realization of their
dreams.
This blow aimed mt the national bank
ing system is another evidence of Demo-
cratic incompetency to govern. The
country has not yet recovered from the
financial disasters which swept
over it last summer; confidence
has not been restored the
party in power is endeavoring to change
the entire economic system of the Gov
ernment, and while the nation is thus
staggering under load too heavy
to be successfully borne comes
the proposition to destroy the
present stable banking system and re-
place it by one, which has, under previ-
GUS attempts, proved rotten and inse-
cure, the greatest curse the nation has
ever been afflicted with in its currency
and banking experience.

ONE ARGUMENT DEAD.

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of abolishing the British House of
Lords has just died. George William
Thomas Brundenell-Bruce, Marquis of
Ailesbury, born in 1868, and long known
as one of the lowest and most dissolute
men i'll the Kingdom, died yesterday
morning. He was a despcable creature
who ran in debt to the extent of millions
on post obits before he came into his
title and possessions sold his ancestral
home for several millions, all of which
went to the money lenders. He married
a concert hall singer, abardoned her
and afterwards lived with several other
women of that class. He became known
as the Costermongers Lord, and his life
was passed in drunken debauches. Yet
he was "Lord," and could claim his
right to vote in the upper chamber of
the English Parliament.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.

New York Tribune; Senator Hill has dealt
n heavy blow. not merely at the income tax,
but at tho general spirit and purpose of the
pending tariff bill. IL is difficult to see how
he can support without stultify-
ing himself, any such measure,
even though in some details it should
be altered. His objections go 20 the root OF
the business. It is an extreme and violent
change, at a time when such a change means
national folly. IL makes sweeping and un-
necessary changes, for the sake OF cutting of
indirect and imposing direct taxes. IL
would PROSTATE industry and degrade labor.
New York Herald: The fact that Senator
Hills mastery speech in the Senate yester-
day is devoted almost entirely TO an irresist-
BILE onslaught on the income tax shows n firm
conviction that the first preliminary TO re-
vision is To cut off and stamp out the Populist
rider of the tariff bill
New York suns Those who have watched
with modification the steady sinking OF the
Democratic party into the mire of Populism,
and beneath the shame Of treachery to its
pledges, heard yesterday the first powerful
voice raised 10 bring the party up again from
it's debasement. Senator Hills speech laid
down two propositions undeniablc by any Dem
ocrat, namcly that under that rule OF tariff
for revenue only" the Administrations scheme
OF a tariff "for deficiency" can have no
standing either I'm expcdiency or politics; and
that an income tax s. n fundamental absurd
ity IN the purposes and doings OF the Demo-
cracy. As itstands today the White House
tariff bill for cleveland only" is an outrage
and fraud.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-04-11

An open rupture is predicted in the
Democratic party because of the income
tax, for it is asserted in the most posi-
tive manner that the Democratic man
ayers of the tariff bill will not
change their course or consent TO the
striking out of this feature. The South
ern men are incensed at the speech Of
Senator Hill. because in his charac-
terization of the bill he denounced
il as sectional and unfair. Its pas
sage, always doubtful, becomes the more
uncertain in view of the split that has
now plainly been made in the party.
The conservatives" as Hill and his
friends are called, are equally as deter
mined that the income tax must be
stricken out, and that the tariff measure
itself must be modified and revised
before it can gain their support. Hill is
plainly the master of the situation, and
having so completely burned his bridges
he will press onward in his
fight. AS THE NEWS observed
some weeks ago it is little
strange but none the less fact that the
preservation of the vast industries of the
United States depends today upon one
David b. Hill, and he seems disposed to
protect them. Hill is playing big politics,
these days, and the sooner his party
gets in line with him the better it will
for them. He has taken what seems
TO be rash step for a Democrat
with aspirations for higher honors at
the hands of his party, but the future
will show that he possesses a political
sagacity far keener and broader than
that displayed by any other member OF
his party and it logically follows that
his party will eventually follow his
leadership.
In the meantime the thanks of every
believer in American industries and
American enterprises is due to New
York's senior Senator for calling his
party to halt in its mad career to de-
struction.
