A Pointer from Maine.

- Under the above heading the Washing-
ton Post says that the result OF the elec>
tons in Maine on Monday was just what
Thoughtful and intelligent men OF all par
ties had expected 1t TO be. We quote;
THE figures are little larger than
some and little smaller than others had
counted on. but the effect Is an over
wbelming Republican victory. And that
Is what everybody had looked for"
But the Post goes too far when 1t says
that the result In Maine this year fore
shadows Republican success in tho presi-
dental election OF 1886. There is no such

IN GENERAL.

Ten leading railroad and financial men
have been selected to re0rganze the Atch-
inson, Topeka and Santa F6 railroad. Nine
different committees, representing differ
ent American and foreign interests in
Atchison, united in the selection.
The Winchester Arms company of New
Haven, Conn, after having spent over
$4,000 in three years in boring an arte-
sian well on its property, is to give up the
work, as there is now no chance of the
well ever giving the quantity of water
needed. The well is the deepest of its kind
in the world, being $500 feet in depUn.
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris has bought
house in Washington and will make that
city her permanent home. During her
married life, and since the death of
her husband, she has lived in England,
and her eldest son, Algernon, is still there,
a student at Oxford where he will remain
until his graduation. Mrs. Sartoris has
an income of $50, 900 year from property
left her by her husbands father.
Henry S. Ives, known as ''the young
Napoleon of finance" died in Asheville,
n. c., of consumption Tuesday. He was
only 80 years old and went from a small
Connecticut town to New York when Is.
He made fortune estimated at 5000, 900,
but lost it and was sent to Jail in 1887 on
account of a railroad deal. He was releas-
ed in 1890, and since then he has accumu-
lated 100000 to 100000 by speculation.
A systematic ard very vigorous effort is
being made by the women of New York
to persuade the constitutional convention,
which meets next month, to strike the
word ''male" from the state constitution.
The movement is distinguished from all

state by the attention given to it by many
women prominent in society, who have
heretofore stood aloof from it altogether or
given it only lukewarm support.
There will be a fight for the control of
! the Delaware Il Hudson railway at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders May s.
! The issue of s., 100000 of new stock is the
bone of contention. One faction, led by
! Vice President lie Grande B. Cannon,
wishes to issue the stock to stockholders
at 70, while the Vanderbilt-O -Olyphant con-
tingent is opposed to such action. There
are 100000 shares of stock widely dstrb-
uted.
Over S4,OO0OOO in gold was shipped
from New York to Europe last week, and
the total amount for this year is over S12,-
100000. This amount, however, is not
excessive, the shipment up to the same
date last year being iS34 1874, 900, In the
month OF April, 1892, the shipment ag-
gregated Sl3,000,000 Last year at this
time the gold reserve was less than one
million over the 100000, 900 held for the
redemption of greenbacks; now it is only
about $4,0O0,000 above the S10O,00O,-
900 mark. The situation is different, in
one important respect, from what it was a
year ago. Then the balance of trade was
heavily against us; now it is in our favor.
The fact that gold is going from us proves
cOnclusvey that there must have been
large sale of American securities by Eu-
rope, or else that we were immensely in
debt to Europe, and have been called upon
to pay.

The PolIard-Breckinridge Case.

The Notwithstanding breach-of-prom-
Use case, which has run its reeking course
for weeks in the United States circuit
court at Washington, ended last Saturday
with a verdict awarding the plaintiff S15,-
600 damages. The jury were out only a
short time. The scandal is the foulest
which has beeen aired in the courts, pour
ed Its filthy tide through the press, and
soled the public mind during this genera
tion. Its only redeeming feature, if it can
be called such, is that its details have been
so revolving that they have been their own
baseness and complete moral turptude of
Col. Breckenridge is almost beyond belief.
so far as the moral issue Of the case is
concerned it makes no difference whether
Miss Pollard was a yirtuous girl or wOm-
an of the town when his relations with her
begun. BY the confession of his own
mouth he has for years lived life of the
grossest hypocrisy. His relations with
Miss Pollard began when she was a girl in
school, several years before the death of his
dren. They were continued till a year ago,
and after his marriage to the woman who
is now his wife. He unblushingy admit
ted that he had been no stranger in houses
of ill-fame. But all this time he has been
known as a man of Christian character,
prominent in the work of the Presbyterian
church, sought after as a speaker at reli-
gious assemblies and a lecturer before
young ladies' seminares. His violation Of
the social code was no less gross. He tes-
titled that he brought Miss Pollard to
Washington, found her employment and
introduced her in families of social distinc-
tion as his afiianced wife, simply as a COW
er for his relations with her. This is the
story as briefly as it can be told.
Now that the trial is over Col. Breckin-
ridge gives notice that he will take an ap-
peal from the judgment of the court; he
returns to his seat in Congress and tries to
'turn it off, in an airy, nonchalant way
he says he is going back to his district to
beginan' aggressive and earnest" campaign
for reelection to Congress. The result of
this campaign his Kentucky constituency
must be left to settle as they may choose.
The judgment of $1,000 is probably more
money than Col Breckenridge is worth.
He will find in the end that his real pun
ishment lies in the way in which he has
pilloried himself in the mind of every de-
cent man and woman.

The rarin Bill in the Senate.

The time for the consideration of the
tariff bill in general debate has been ex-
tended by unanimous consent to next
Tuesday afternoon at ) o'clock, when one
Democratic senator is to have the floor for
a couple of hours to close the general de-
bate, after which the consideration of the
bill, paragraph BY paragraph, is to begin.
This indicates purpose to bring the
measure to an early vote,
Senator Lodge has given notice of an
amendment to the tariff bill, which he
will offer, designed to force Great Britain
into an international agreement for the
coinage of silver. 1t provides eXtraordina-
ry and discriminating duties against the
products of Great Britain and those of her
colonies, to be taken Oft when England
helps carry silver coinage by international
agreement

A financial bill was introduced in the

state banks, and then provides that no
state bank, banking association other than
national banks, no corporation, person or
partnership shall issue any note, bill, GER
titicate or other paper in any form to be
used or circulated as money. Mr.. Swan
son of Virginia has been making poll of

ocrats favor unconditional repeal, 81 are
for repeal with safe restri ctions and 81 are

Senator Morrill,.
Vermont's Grand Old Man of Perennial
Youth.


Youth.
Senator Morrill, celebrated his S4th birth
day anniversary last Saturday with the
customary reception given at his residence
on Thomas circle. As usual the occasion
was recognized as one of the social events
of the season, and many prominent guests
called to present congratulations. Among
them were Senator John Sherman, who
has been in Congress almost as long as
Mr.. Morrill,, Senator Allison, next door
neighbor to Mr.. Morrill,, whose term of
service covers 81 years, Judge Holman,
the great Democratic objector and the old
est member of the House in point of serv-
ice and Galusha A. Grow, the new mem
Der from Pennsylvania, who was the speak
er of the House before the war and who
appointed Mr.. Morrill, in 1857 member of
the ways and means committee.
On Wednesday Mr.. Morrill, made his
promised speech on the tariff BILL treating
the subject in his well-known vein of play
full rdicule, sarcasm and serious argument
The pending bill, he said, would give more
comfort abroad than at home, and the
distended notion of Democratic infallibili-
ty, so prevalent in 1892, had suddenly col
lapsed. Even the Mugwump allies of the
Democracy sneered at their work. One of
the most effective parts of his speech was
that in which he lampooned the inconsst-
ent and partisan character of the bill in
giving excessive protection to southern
products and various pet industries, while
the great bulk of northern products and
industries were left to the tender mercies
of "tariff reform"
This paragraph samples the flavor of the
senator's effort: The Democracy had the
elite habit of shaking hands with free
trade with its elbow on level with the top
of the head, but dropped limp and low
when So per cent protection was demand
ed and yielded on rice. 1t embraced trey
enue reform like lover, and presto, saw
''revenue only in 80 per cent protection
on cuffs and collars. Free trade swore
eternal fealty to the Democratic goddess of
free raw Materials but forthwith the
goddess was dethroned by the Democratic
provisional government on the tariff, and
protection on coal, coke and iron ore, gra-
ciously reinstated, was no longer a ''cul-
mnating atrocity.' The ferocity of free
trade against a ten-millon bounty on sug-
ar could not be muzzled, but a tax of SAL, =
100000 for the protection of sugar cane, a
veritable white elephant, was welcomed
with smile slightly puckered.

1t appears that CoXey and his swarm of
followers, should they finally reach Wash
ington will run against a bit of Mr. Ed
munds's long-headed and far-seeing legisla-
ton An act proposed by Mr.. Edmunds,
passed by Congress, and approved July l.,
1882, was seemingly designed to meet pre-
cisely such an emergency. 1t forbids any
parade, the discharge of any fireworks, the
making of 'any harangue or oration,' the
use of cloud, threatening or abusive Ian
guage," etc, on the capitol grounds. OF
course citizens are allowed freely on the
grounds, but if this law is enforced and
preparations are being perfected for doing
this-it will etfectually prevent the carry
ing out of CoXey's program of holding a
big meeting on the steps of the capitol and
making certain demands of Congress.

The New Democratic Rule,

"Upon every roll call and before the
beginning thereof the speaker shall name
two members, one from each side of the
pending question, if practicable, who shall
take their places at the clerks desk to tell
the names of at least enough members who
are in the hall of the House during roll
call who do not respond, when added to
those responding, to make a quorum. If
a quorum does not respond on the roll call
then the names of those so noted as pres
ent shall be reported to the speaker, who
shall cause the list to be called from the
clerks desk and recorded in the journal;
and, in determining the presence of quo
rum to do the business, those who voted,
those who answered present and those so
reported present shall be considered. Mem
bers noted may, when their names are
called, record their votes, notwithstanding
the provisions of clause one of this rule
In addition to this an amendment to
rule eight requires every member to be in
his seat during the House sessions, unless
excused, and to vote on the questions put,
and, on roll call, should he not vote, he
shall answer present.

Death of David Dudley Field.

David Dudley Field, the eminent New
York iurist, died in New York city last
Friday morning after an illness of only "a
hours from pneumonia. 1t was only on
the previous Wednesday that he returned
from a trip to Europe, apparently in excel
lent health. His age was years and two
months. Mr.. Field was one of four famous
brothers, all of whom came to distinction
through useful work in the world. Cyrus w.
Field was the protector of the Atlantic
cable, stephen j. Field is justice of the
United States supreme court, and Henry NJ.
Field is the editor of the New York Evange-
list. They were sons of a poor but distin-
guished clergyman who spent his life in min
istration to churches of the Congregational
faith in Connecticut and Massachusetts,
He managed to give three of his sons a
college education, of which they made eX-
cellent use. Perhaps the best estimate
and summary of the life-work of David
Dudley Field in his profession is found in
his own words: THE true function of the
lawyer is not alone to guide his clients
Alright, not alone to gain lawsuits, not
alone to win fame or fortune, but to make
the law itself better" Mr.. Fields most
notable work for his profession was the
codification of the laws of New York.
