SCORING BRECKENRIDGE
CAkLISI.E DOE1 NOT SPAR
THE CONGRESSMAN.
He SAYS BreCkinridge Admits
Mrs Blackburn Told The Truth
The whole Amount OF $4,000
Asked FOr-The DefeDse Begins
Argument.

WASHINGTON, April 1O-In the Pollard
case today Mr.. Carlisle continued his ar
gument, the jury showing great interest
in all he said.
Carlisle reviewed the testimony of Mrs.
blackburn in relation to Brcckinridge s
promise OF marriage and said: "He has
not spoken one word in contradiction of
Mrs. Blackburn's statement. He tells
you her testimony is true"
Carlise then proceeded to score the de
iendant for his hypocrisy. He had been,
he said, man of great standing in the
! church. He had been Il leader in Sunday
school, and had addressed religious
gatherings, and yet he came into court
and admitted that in telling Mrs. Black
burn and Maj. Moore of his engagement
to the plaintiff he had lied and that both
ne and the plaintiff had agreed to lie
about the whole matter. "Hecame here,
gentlemen, said Carlisle, asking you to
believe his unsupported word that there
was no contract of marriage between
then-his unsupported word against
that OF reputable witnesses and of the
plaintiff. He asks you to believe his
word after he had confessed that he had
arranged and acted lies concerning that
engagement"
In conclusion Carlisle asked The jury to
give the full amount claimed, $4,000.
This ask you to give. gentlemen, in the
name OF right and justice, reason and pu
rity' In the name OF our mothers. of our
sisters and our brothers; aud if the
whole amount should be given, you will
have done your part to put a stigma on
such conduct and to effect the only
r!eparation that can be asked for by this
injured plaintiff"
When Carlisle sat down, Col. Phil
Thompson began his opening for the de
tense. Speaking in his high. keen voice,
he appealed to the Jury to regard the
as lewd and wanton woman,
and not to encourage such to make a
stencil in the nostriIs OF decent people.

Congress-.

The Senate will take up the tariff bill
by paragraphs next Tuesday.
The House has adopted new rule, de-
signed to facilitate business. The rule
provides for tellers before roll call, and
the tellers report every member present,
Members present, who do not answer a roll
call, will be counted in the negative.
Some rule ought to have been adopted
whereby public business can be transacted,
and the rule is proper one. But the
Democrats have majority of about ninety,
and they should have at all times been
able to maintain quorum. They were
elected to attend to their duties, and it is
not creditable to the absentees that rule
had to be adopted to count Republicans
present to obtain quorum.
The rule was adopted to break up Re-
publican filibustering. But some weeks
ago some twenty or thirty Democrats, in-
Guiding Rayner, of Maryland, filibustered
with the Republicans against the seiniorage
coinage bill, and were just as remiss in
their duties as the most ardent Republicans,
whose whole intent is to embarrass the
Democrats. When member speaks and
votes against measure to which he is op-
posed he has discharged his full duty, and
no Democrat, no matter how strongly he
may feel, is justified in abstaining from at
tendance or voting, particularly when his
party is in the majority and responsible
for the acts of the House.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1894-04-21

The reverses of the Democratic party, in
the local elections throughout the country,
are ascribed by the Republicans to want Of
confidence of the people in the Democratic
party to govern. How do the Republicans
interpret the action of the people in chang
ing Republican majority of 20 in the
House of Representatives in 1890 to a
Democratic majority of 143? And what
was the meaning of the overwhelming de-
feat of Mr.. Harrison two years later?

The Breckenridge Trial--Judge
Bradley.

The Pollard Breckenridge breach-of-prom-
Use suit was concluded last Saturday by a
verdict for the plaintiff for $4,000. The
case was on trial for six or. seven weeks,
and the daily press gave such full reports
that widespread interest was manifested.
The interest was heightened by the ex-
allied position the defendant held as a
christian speaker, statesman and orator and
his high social distinction. The defendant
has, moved for new trial, and failing to
secure it, will appeal.
Whatever else the case developed, one
thing was Individually demonstrated-that
is, that Judge Bradley, who presided,
is a little too exalted and too refined
and too pure to mingle with ordinary
humanity. His ears are too polite to
be offended by the details of such trials.
His purity is too great to tolerate the
"morbid curiosity that attracted such
large attendance daily at the trial, and his
nery Gus condition is such that he cannot
even bear to hear the noise made by sim
gle person shifting his position in chair.
He was continually lecturing the people
npon their conduct and the exhibition of
low morality in their attendance. The
people, of course, were under the impress
sion that the court house was public prop
erty, and that they had right to attend
the sessions of court at any time, so long
as they observed proper decorum. This
was true before the court house at Wash
ington became the property of Judge Brad
ley and he was given the power to regulate
the people, but not so now.
Judge Bradley ought to resign before
another such case comes on, and it would
be well for the Government to put him in
a glass case and exhibit him among other
curiosities at the Smithsonian. There is
only one Judge Bradley, and those who
saw his uneasiuess during the trial and
general air Of contempt for everybody con-
nected with it and for the spectators, will
never forget it.
