Many years ago Justus c. Adams was
known as "a hustler in politics and an
excellent straght-out-from- shoulder
talker. He has been out of politics for
quite a while, but his Republicanism has
lost none of it's earnestness. His speech
yesterday had the true ring. 1t was a
ton from a business mans standpoint and
a strong appeal TO all who desire the res
toration of prosperity to rally under the
Republican banner. His reference to 1.-The
WORKOUT gimlet with which Senator Voor-
hees has been boring for forty years." and
to the Punch and Judy show now being
played by the Democratic party in Con-

Every day that a quorum is lacking in
the House Of Representatives is a contin-
ung proof of shameless violation of law.
Section 40, United States Revised Statutes,
is as follows:
The Secretary Of the Senate and the Ser
geant-at-arnS Of the House, respectively,
shall deduct from the monthly payments OF
each member the amount OF his salary for
each day that he has been absent from the
member assign as the reason for such alb
sence the sickness Of himself or of some
member Of his family.
That law was passed in 1856. There have
been cases in which members have volun-
tarily complied with it, but there has never
been any honest attempt to enforce it. 1t
is a matter Of record that Andrew john
son. afterward President of the United
States, paid back 5000 in one session for
time lost by him during his absence from
the House without leave. That, however.
was a long time ago. In recent years alb

violated. 1t should either be enforced or
repealed.

The Hon. David Dudley Field. whose
death has just occurred, had planned to
write his autobiography. If he had lived
long enough to do it would have been
a very interesting book. Mr.. Field came
to New York TO practice law soon after
the Erie canal had given that city its COM
mercial prestige. He was familiar with
the political campaigns of Jackson, Clay
and Van Buren,. He was in the prime of
early manhood when Morse was develop
ing the telegraph. He was one of the first
to study and establish railroad law. He
was in active practice when TIlden and
Evarts, and the late Chief Justice Waite
were students in the same class at Yale.
He was man of gray hairs when Lin
coin was first elected President, and dur
ing his long and active professional life
he was brought into personal contact with
the greatest jurists of this and other coun-
tries. The autobiography of such man
would have been full Of interest.
