the Jury
SATURDAY.

The jury in the Saulpaugh case came in
at 80 p. m. today, awarding the plaintiff
in the $50, 900 breach of promise suit a
verdict of SI.oo. This carries with it the
court costs, which amount, so one of the
attorneys stated this afternoon, to less
than SIS for the plaintiff and about the
same amount for the defendant. The
costs which the county will have to pay
will be about 81 900.
The jury first considered whether or
not promise of marriage had been made.
The first ballot stood II to I, and the sec
ond was unanimous for the affirmative.
The verdict was awarded on the fact
that the plaintiff did not lead virtuous
life in St. Paul during the life of her prom

The Judges Charge.

Immediately after the close of At
torney Samuel's argument Judge
Severance began reading his charge
to the Jury. 1t required about forty
minutes, and the jury went out at
11:3O a. m. The charge is here given
verbatim:
Gentlemen of the jury: This is
civil action in which Victoria A.
Stein is plaintiff and Clarence III.
Saulpaugh is defendant. The plain
tiff brings this action to recover dam
ages for the alleged breach of a mar
riage contract, which she alleges eX-
listed between her and the defendant.
The court will instruct you as to the
law applicable to the case, but 1T is
your exclusive duty to consider and
weigh the evidence in the case, and
find the material facts under the law,
and the issues involved, including the
right of the plaintiff to recover IN
this action.
The case is extraordinary and re-
voting in it's details, yet the partleSS
have a right to have it litlgated ana
determined in accordance with estab-
lished principles of law.
The burden is on the pla1ntlH TO
prove the cause of action by falr pre-
ponderance of evidence, before she
will be entitled to recover at all; and
by a preponderance OF evidence is

sidered and compared by you with a
view to test it's strength, force and
effect.
The plaintiff substantially alleges
in her complaint, that in May, 1889,
and on divers other days and times
since that time, and in October, 1893,
being an unmarried person, she, at
the request of the defendant, promis-
ed to marry him, when she should be
requested thereto; and the defend
ant promised to marry her when he
should be requested thereto, and that
the plaintiff relying on such promise,
thereto remained, and still remains,
an unmarried woman; and that the
defendant, though often requested
to keep his promise and marry the
plaintiff, to mary the plaintiff,
and that the defendant on
or about the 2Sth day of October,
1893, and after making such promises,
and being requested to fulfill the
same, and marry the plaintiff, marri-
ed one Roma j. Allen.

Wor1AN'S POLITICAL EDUCATION.

There has been from time to time
statements by those who are opposed
to woman suffrage, that women should
not dabble in politics. They went
farther than to state that they should
not vote, but assumed that they
should not have anything to do with
such matters whatever. Some even
assumed that it would be better il
they would give the subject no study.
intimating that it is question be
yond their power. To such the result
of the last election has undoubtedly
been a rude awakening. The magnifi-
cent work which the ladies did in
Colorado shows that they are the
equal of men in the political field, as
in many others. Not only did they do
good work there, but also in many
other places, and wherever they ex-
erted themselves, it was in the in
terest of better and purer government.
AS to their work in the last election,
and their political education, writer
in the current Forum says:
The work of the women who intend
to continue the systematic agitation
for the suffrage in the state of New
York will be now mainly directed to
efforts for the systematic political
education of women. Suffrage leagues,
as hitherto organized, have been apt
to address themselves too little to
education, too much to campaign
speeches." 1t is indeed difficult to
persuade average citizens, either male
or female, to study anything for which
they have no Immediate use. When
the utility becomes obvious, the en-
ergy and interest are promptly forth
coming. The women of Colorado or
ganiZed, all over the state, clubs for
the study both of politics and of
political science. The effective as
SiStance, which, at the last election,
the women of Colorado lent to the
work of defeating the blatherskite
candidate for governor, shows an eX
cellent practical result of such studies.
In New York City, curious object-les-
sons upon women in politics" have
been offered by the organization of
groups of women. many of whom had
pronounced themselves ''anti-suf-
fragists, ito aid in the work of re-
form election, under the leadership of
men who had previously opposed, with
considerable emphasis, the mixture of
women in politics. Women who had
been told that they should not vote
were now urged to instruct men how
to vote, or at all events to stand by
them and see that they did their duty
in voting. No more theoretically in
congruous but practically admirable
situation could have been devised
than this, which followed so promptly
upon the defeat of the claim by women
to be allowed to exercise the rights of
citizenship. 1t was a complete give
.away-and the most elaborate eXplana-
tionS can make nothing else out of it.

The simpletons, a new novel by
Thomyas Hard, will be begun in the
December number, 1894, and cOntinu-
ed to November, 1895. Whoever may
be ones favOrite among English
novelists, it will be considered by all
critics that Thomas Hardy stands
foremost as master artist In hctlon,
and The Simpletons may be expected
to arouse enthusiasm not inferior in
degree to that which has marked
Thrilby-the most successful story OF
the year. Another leading feature
will be the Personal Recollections OF
Joan of Arc, by the Sieur Louis de
Cont Her Page and Secretary, under
which guise the most popular OF liy-
ing American magazine writer's will
present the story OF the Maid OF Or
leans. In the January number will
appear profusely illustrated paper
on Charleston and the CarOlinaS, the
first of a series of Southern Papers.
Northern Africa is attracting more
attention than at any other time
since it was the seat of empires. The
next volume of HARPER's MAGAZINE
will contain four illustrated articles
on this region, and three of them will
depict thepresent life there. Julian
Ralph will prepare for the MAGAZINE
series of eight stories, depicting
typical phases of Chinese Life and
Manners. Besides the long stories,
there will begin in the January num-
the first chapter of A Three Part

UNITED STATES SENATOR.

1t is given out in the Twin City
papers that eX-Congressman Com
stock has declared himself as candi-
date for United States Senator. If
this is true it is important, for the
opposition has been for weeks canvass
ing the names Of almost every promi-
nent man in the state, and as fast as
one was publicly announced just that
moment he would publicly decline to
have anything to do with the scheme
to unseat Senator Washburn.
But, if the rumored candidacy of
Mr.. Comstock shall prove true, what
will the people of Minnesota gain by
the change? Those principally Dem
Ocrats) who want to defeat Senator
Washburn, assume to oppose him on
the ground that he is a railroad man
and a corporationist. If this is true
wherein is Mr.. Comstock going to bet
ter the case? He is, and for years has
been, the paid attorney of the Great
Northern railroad company. His bus
mess has principally been to defend
corporations against the assaults" of
individuals and protect the Great
Northern interests through the north
west part of the state. Now this
fact does not make Mr.. Comstock
thief or villain. He is neither. He
is an honorable gentleman-not a
brilliant man by any means-a good
citizen and popular with his acquaint-
ances. But he possesses in very
pronounced degree an abundance of
the objectional characteristics which
are so roundly denounced in Senator
Washburn. Then where are the peo-
pie to be benefited by making this
kind of a trade? 1t is not because
Mr. Comstock is cleaner man than
is Mr.. Washburn: it is not because he
is better equipped to perform the
functions of Senator; it is not be-
cause he will add additional lustre to
Minnesota on the floor or in commit
tees. These are not the reasons.
The true inwardness of the whole
scheme is to beat Washburn, and to
do this the opposition feel it necessary
to go into the country and make the
claim that "the position this time be-
longs to the rural districts" This
fiimsy claim is too gauzy. A man suf-
ficiently large and broad to be a
United States Senator is large enough
to cover the sDh0le state, and it makes
no difference whether he comes from
Minneapolis, Duluth, Moorhead, Man
kato or any other section. The fact
is, if Mr.. Washburn is turned down,
and we have no idea he will be, Mr..
,Comstock will not be his successor.
The selection, if we are to stake out
the claims of a senator on geograph-
