DRAWING TO A CLOSE.

The stream of testimony, in the
Pollard-Breckinridge legal scandal
which has already, grown to be ex-
ceedingly wearisome, was brought
to close, in Judge Bradley's court,
at Washington, d. G., yesterday
morning, after five continuous
weeks Of legal sensationalism. The
remainder of the day was devoted
to the taking Of testimony in rebut-
tai and sur-rebuttal. In the course
Of rebuttal, on behalf of plaintiff,
Madeline Pollard took the stand, to
purge herself from the stain of the
mock marriage with "Blind Alec"
Julian, as well as to repeat with the
dramatic emphasis peculiarly her
own, the denial that the agreement
to marry between herself and Col.
Breckenridge had been anything
but a contract made in good faith
on her part at least. Also she talk
ed of the birth of her children with
a freedom which would have seemed
astonishing but for the matter Of
fact way in which all manner Of un-
usual things have been discussed

WASHINGTON NEWS.

There was a petition in
circulation, among legislative
circles, at Washington, yesterday,
calling for Democratic caucus, to
be held some time, in the early part
of next week.
The object of it is to consider the
question Of repeating the tax on
state bank notes. This matter has
been discussed in the committee on
banking and currency and generally
around among the congressman
The committee aforesaid seems dis
posed to bring out the repeating
bill and the caucus is intended to
take some action in regard to the
matter,
The advocates of the repeal Of
the state bank tax are exceeding
ly embarrassed by bill put in by
Mr.. Cooper of Indiana a few days
ago, the effect Of which would be to
give the states the right to tax the
legal tender greenbacks. This is
not the first time such a bill as Mr.,
Cooper has introduced has been be-
fore congress. In the forty-seventh
congress Mr.. Dingley Of Maine,
from the banking and currency
committee, reported such a bill adj
versely. He based this adverse re-
port on the decision Of the supreme
court which declared that the obi.
cations or securities Of the United
States are contracts and cannot be
taxed under state authority be-
cause it would be a tax on the pow
er Of the government to borrow
money and that greenbacks are Sc
curities Of the government and as
such are exempt from taxation.
The embarrassment To the advo.
Gates Of the repeal OF the state
bank tax occurs from the fact that
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-04-07

while they are trying to take away
from the federal government the
right to tax state bank notes, men,
bers of their party are trying to
give the states the power to tax
the notes of the federal govern
ment. 1t may be said that the tax
imposed by the federal government
is so high as to prevent the issue Of
state bank notes while Mr.. Cooper's
bill does not intend such thing
with the greenbacks but the argu-
ment of inconsistency is, however,
made.
1t is highly probable that what
ever the democratic caucus may
do, it cannot get a bill from the
banking and currency committee
favoring the repeal of the state
bank tax This committee has
however presented q Dill TO relleve
the clearing house certificates which
took the place of money in several
of the large cities during the finan-
cial distress a few months ago from
taxation. 1t is held that these GER
tificates, amounting to about $10,-
OOO,OO were subject to the tax inn
posed on state bank issues. To the
eill there will be offered an amend
ment relieving state banks from
the tax now imposed
Thus the advocates of the repeal
of the law can get action on their
idea even if they cannot get bill
in their favor out of the committee
on banking and currency.

INDIANS AND WHITES.
A Committee Appointed to Investigate
the Condition of Affairs Exist
ing in the Territory.

Yesterdays advices from Wash
ington, concerning the trouble be-
tween Indians and whites in the
Territory, announce that several at
least of the members of the Senate
comittee on Indian affairs, embrac-
ing the five civilized tribes, are pre-
pairing to start to the Indian Terri
tory for the purpose of investigat-
ing among other subjects the rela-
tions existing between the Indians
and white settlers. This question
has attained some prominence re-
Gently in connection with the ef-
fort to have the Indian Territory
included as part Of the proposed
state Of Oklahoma. The Indians
resisted the proposition, declaring
if they accepted statehood their
tribal relations would be destroyed
and they would be compelled to ac-
cept land in severalty, and be so
outnumbered by the whites as to
cut them out of all voice in affairs.
They also assert that they hold the
lands under treaty and guaran-
teed self-government by the same
process. Under the existing condi-
tion of affairs, while far outnumber-
ing the Indian population, the
whites say they are deprived of all
rights Of citizenship, and cannot be-
come owners of real estate, of
which the Indians have more than
they can utilize. There was large
delegation in Washington during
| the winter in the interest Of state
hood, and the Indians also had rep
resentatives in Washington, but
members Of the committee COM
planned that it was impossible from
these representatives to give clear
idea Of the status Of affairs. The
scope of the resolution under which
the committee is to act is of a very
general nature, and it is probable
the inquiry will go into many other
questions connected with life in the
Indian Territory. The committee
will, it is understood, also investi-
gate into the causes leading up to
the riot and bloodshed between the
red and white settlers, which oc-

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Attenance at the Waco (Tex.) Re-Un
ion Large and Represen-
tative.

Waco, Tex, April 5.-The adj
dresses of welcome have been made,
the preliminaries are through and
the Confederate Veterans Associa-
tion is now ready for all business to
come before it. Despite the rain
which has been falling ftfully for
the past two days, and since early
this afternoon has been coming
down as steady as a clock, the at
tendance is large, very much larger
than was expected. All Of the no:
tells are packed and the boarding
houses and restaurants are "iu it.
The crowd is thoroughly repre-
sentative, and prominent men from
all all parts of the state, from the
saw mills at Texarkana to the sheep
walks beyond San Antonio, and
from the wheat fields of the pan
handle to the Sabine, are here to
mingle and talk over the old days
and hunt up the gray-headed boys
who went out in 1861 and came
back battered and manned in 1865.
Everywhere in this good town the
stars and ,,ars once more float be-
side the stars and stripes, and pic
lures of Davis and Lee and Jackson
and Longstreet and ali of the 9th
ers of the long roll of the South's
illustrious sons, living and dead,

The badge vender, who has |een
out in the cold since the campaign
two years ago, has come to The
front again, and is doing business
right along.
The drum and the fife, as of yofe,
start the boys to marching in the
morning, and at night they are
clustered around the lights in the
hotels, not str,kingly similar to
camp fires, telling the story over
again.
Though this is ostensibly re-un-
ion Of veterans without any politics
in it, the candidate is on hand mum
erously and at work Messrs. Ian
ham; Cochran and Mccall, avowed
candidates for Governor, and many
others who would like to be candi-
dates if they thought they could be
Governor, are in the thickest of the
fight. Judge Norman G., Kittrell,
who is going to run for an appellate
judgeship; Gen. r. M. Henderson
of Sulphur Springs, candidate for
comptroller; Monta ]. Moore Of
Cameron, who is thinking of run
ming for Congress in this district,
and others equally as prominent
are spinning aroud the hotels shak-
ing hands and talking war.
They all say they came to the re-
union for pleasure, and are just
putting in a little work on the side.
All are in possession of tickets for
the round trip, and are telling how
the country can be saved.
There were two things today
which excited comment. One was
the ovation given Geo. Clark and
the hearty cheering his few re-
marks elected. The other was the
demonstration accorded Gov. Ross,
who followed Clark.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
Facts and Figures Which are Of
Great Interest to the Farm
ing Glasses,

The Census Burean, at Washing
ton, has finally issued it's long look
ed for bulletin relating to the agri-
cultural statistics of the country.
The facts and figures contained
therein constitute one of the most
weighty, interesting and, to the
farming classes of the entire coun-
try, important results Of the whole
census report. The table shows
the number area and valuation Of
farms in 1890, live stock on hand
June |, 1890, and the agricultural
products for the year 1889. The
area of the farming land in this
country in 1890 was 623, ,218,619
acres, of which there were 1916, Z
755 acres improved. During the
ten years from 1880 to 1890 there
was an increase of 81, 1876, ,784 acres.
The value of the farm lands in the
United States, according to the
statistics of the Census Bureau, is
$l3, ,279, ,252, ,649, which is an increase
of over 80 per cent, as shown by
the statistics of 1889. The live
stock On these farms are valued at
81, ,208, ,767, ,573, which is nearly 80
per cent more than it was at the
previous census taking. There are
$14, $3.50, 467 horses ON the farms of
this country, The value of the pro-
ducts of these farms in 1889 were
So, 460, 107 454, which is 11.19 more
than they were in $780, In this re-
port Of the Census Bureau Arkan-
sas is put down as having 124, ,760
farms the total number of acreage
of which is 1891, 1856, the number
of acres improved being 5,475, ,043.
The number Of acres Of unimproved
farming land in Arkansas is report
ed to be 9,417,313. Arkansas has
$118, ,574, 422 worth of land, fences
and buildings; $5, ,672, 400 of farming
implements and machinery, and
$50, ,772, $3.50 invested in live stock.
Other statistics in this bulletin re-
lating to Arkansas furnish figures
on the dairy products of the state,
which are by no means insignificant.
Arkansas produces every year 81, :
1876, ,673 gallons of milk; 1924, IA
pounds Of butter, and 21 1923 pounds
of cheese. 1t planted 1,700,758
acres in cotton, which produced
691, 494 bales Throughout the en-
tire state there were only two ac-
res planted in flax, which yielded IL
bushels Of seed and 26 pounds Of
fibre. There we're 2,470 acres plant
ed in rye, which yielded crop of
Is, 181. In wheat there we're 140,-
AGA acres planted, the yield being
955, 66S bushels The number of
acres planted in corn was l,648, 443
from which was harvested 33, 922, :
3l9 bushels The crop Of oats con
sisted of 4, 4,1SO,S77, grown on 2S9, 332
acres. The report also shows that
7,11O pounds Of rice was produced
in Arkansas, together with other
products too numerous to mention,
all going to show that the soil Of
Arkansas is better than that of any
state in the Union.

A GREAT DECISION.
Judge H. G, Caldwell, of Arkansas
Covers Himself With Ju-
dicial Honor.

In the United States circuit court
at Oman, Neb., Yesterday, organic
ed labor scored another great lega
triumph, when Judge Henry G. Cald
well, of Arkansas, handed down Z
decision in the Union Pacific labor
schedule case.
In lengthy opinion Judge Cald
well holds, that as a corporation i:
an organization of capital, SO is Z
labor organization corporation o.
capital. The muscles and brains Of
the members composing labor or
ganizations is their capital and they
are entitled to cooperate for the
purpose of advancing their mutual
interests and for securing and main
tanning wages. The court room
was thronged with railroad men at
| the hour set for the rendering OF
the decision. There we're few pre-
lirninaries before Judge Caldwell be-
gan the reading.
AS the opinion proceeded, the
faces of the Union Pacific officials
heightened while those of the en-
ployes grew roseate as they saw
the drift of the decision and began
to realize what a remarkable victo-
ry was in store for them At its
conclusion the silence became op-
pressive and until Marshal White
declared recess not a movement
was made OF the part of the spec
tators to break the spell. 1t was a
dramatic ending to what has been
a dramatic case. There was not
a phraser, not even word of legal
verbiage about the important docu-
ment, "for," Judge Caldwell declar-
ed, "I wanted it to be so plain
that even the lowliest man on the
road could understand every word
of it,"
When Judge Caldwell left the
bench, the leading men of both inter
ests shook hands with the fearless
jurist, Mr.. Vroman thanking the
court for it's decision.
"No thanks are necessary, Mr..
Vroman, responded Judge Caldwell.
"when a court does its duty clearly
without fear or favor, it is not de-
serving of any thanks. The path
was well blazed, all the court had to
do was to reiterate the principles
laid down from the beginning, and
that it has sought to do in its feeble
way"
Just before the court adjourned
Judge Cant, of North Platte, attor-
ney for the men, asked the court to
fix the expense account of the men
in view of the fact that there was a
difference of opinion Instantly
Judge Caldwell responded "You
ought to be ashamed of yourself to
ask the court to participate in this
matter. Don't come here with the
statement that you cannot agree as
to the expenses.
Then turning to the room: "Is
one of the receivers here? No."
"There is General Manager Dick
inson, you may arrange with him
as to expenses which will cover
the cost of average living in Oma-
ha, which can be easily ascertain
ed"
General Manager Dickinson nod
ded his approval.
AS to the far reaching character
to the opinion the utterance of at
torney George L. Hodges, who rep
resented the engineers, is more
timely: 1T is the greatest judg-
ment in vindication of the rights of
men pronounced by any court since
the historic judgement of Lord
Mansfield in the Somerset case"
The decision is highly commended
on all sides, as well for its justice
and fairness to all, as for it's legal
acumen and excellence.
