THE WORTH coURT-mARrIAL.


Laws of tho Army?
OMAHA, Aug. 13.-Ths court-martial
of Maj. William S. Worth of the depart
ment OF the Platte began at Fort Omaha
this morning. He was accused of order
ing Private Cedarquist to rifle practice
on Sunday. The court was convened
and the charge and specification read, to
which Major Worth pleaded not guilty.
The court was composed almost entirely
of old veterans who have seen more or
less hardships and actual fighting SER
vice. Major Worth admitted that the
men were ordered to target practice, and
no evidence on that point was intro
duced. He explained, however, that he
thought state OF war existed, as the
troops were expected to be called to
Chicago daily. AS Lincoln's order
against Sunday work applied to times OF
peace. it was Suspended, the defense
argued at this period.
The prosecution argued that the rule
was notsuspsnded, us war did not ex-
ist. The attorney for the defense went
on to show that Lincoln's order was NOS
in force, and introduced the laws OF the
army published by Secretary OF War En-
dicott in February, 1885. and which are
prefaced by the statement that they are
the laws of the army. These rules do
not mention President Lincoln's orders
of 1862 regarding work and military
practice on Sunday. II was further held
that the order OF President Harrison
abolishing Sunday inspection abrogated
and rendered null President Linooln's
order.
Judge Advocate Baird completed the
argument. He oontended that it was an
inexcusable violation of army ethics and
law and in no wise a military necessity.
Many ministers were present at the
trial, and several church societies had
attorneys present in the interest of Pri-
vate Cedarquist. but they were not al
lowed to epeak,

and what had ever been gained has
been wrested from us by protective
body. have been willing to take any,
even the most desperate chances, that
gave the least hope of success in getting
rid OF the most Objectionable Benste
amendments, and would have fought 10
the fourth of March if had any ground
to stand upon, and the following to sus-
tain me.
"We have been confronted By senate
with closed ranks, while We have had
divisions from the beginning that have
been fomented from the senate, and
the growing impotence of the members
to get back to their districts, with any
thing that might be called q tariff re-
duction bill, had made them unwilling
to stay until promise could be given OF
assured or probable victory. We could
not honestly give such promise and a
man cannot continue to battle with his
army ready and eager to break away"
Representative MoA2illin, one OF .he
Democratic house conierses, gave state
msns more ia detail az to the effect OF
the tariff bill, which would be enacted
as renult of today's action. He said.
The effect OF the caucus' action will
be the passage OF the house bill with the
senate amendments. While the house
bill IS better measure ia my Judgment,
than this measure. which will become q
law by today's action. it Is q wonderful
improvement on the Mckinley law. 1t
gives free wool, free lumber, free hemp,
fsx and jute, and reduces largely the
manifold goods into which all these ma
terial enter.
ITO illustrate, the average duty on
WOODEN goods in the Mckinley bill 10
9815. This has been reduced more than
half. There is slso considerable reduc-
ton in all other schedules, and the aver
age on all will be about 20 per cent, as
against 80 per cent under the present
law. The right of the president to inn
pose taxes without congress is taken
away and given back to the congress to
whom it belongs. and from which it was
wrestsd by the Mckinley law.
much has been said concerning tho
sugar duty. There is less benefit given
to the manufacturer by this bill than by
the Mckinley law. 1t should not be forgot
ten also that the system recommended
by the house, known as the income tex,
is retained in the bill, part OF our fiscal
policy. BY this it is proposed to tax
what people have in excess of their
needs, rather than to tax what they
need and have not got"
