A BRUTAL HUSBAND.

John Harper wound up celebrating
his marriage by going to jail yesterday

Harper is macbinist and lives at No.
1921 @ street. One day last week he
led to the hymenial altar the widow
Whitlock, to whom be had been pay
ing his addresses for year or more.
Harper was never created for life OF
connubial bliss. He considered the
ceremony an event worth celebrating,
and went forth to celebrate it with
lot of cornwall companions. Saturday
night be made his appearance before
his newly.wedded wife in an intoxicated
condition. He was in an ugly humor,
and upon being chided for bis conduct,
brutally picked up lighted lamp and
hurled it at her. The woman caught the
lamp before it could strike her. The
drunken husband then threw q
glass at his frightened bride. The
noise of the trouble at the Harper
house attracted neighbors to the scene,
and he was prevented from further fol.
lowing up the brutal assault. One OF
The neighbors swore out warrant
against Harper, charging him with
being drunk and creating disturbance
in the neighborhood. DR.: W. I. Op-
panheimer, who was called as wit
ness by Harper's counsel, testified that
be knewthe man to be possessed OF a
mental constitution that collapsed I'M
der the influence Of liquor. The &C.
cused pleaded that he had been crazy
drunk and irresponsible for what he
then did. The justice refused to accept
this plea. He fined Harper $25 and
required surety fop twelve months in
the sum of $500 and jailed him in de-
fault.-Richmond State.

licans Responsible for Legislation.
For some time the question of re-
organizing the committees Of the
United State Senate has occupied pub
lie attention. December 80 the reor-
Rsnlzation scheme outlined by the
Republicans was adopted. 1t gives
that party control of legislation in that
body, and also fixes upon it the respon-
sibility for action or non-sction. The
Senate is composed at present Of forty
two Republicans, thirty-nine Demo
Gratis and six Populists. The vote on
reorganization was: Yeas, 30; nays, 28.
The Populists declined to vote.
Their reasons for adopting this course
are best stated by Senator Allen, Of Ne
braska, in his remarks to the Senate
after the vote was taken. He said:
"Mr. President, 1t is due to the Pop
ullst party, represented in this cham
ber, that a very brief statement as to
their position be made to the Senate.
"During the Fifty-third Congress it
was very common for Republican SEN
atOrs and Democratic Senators to class
lily us as Democratic Populists' and
Republican Populists,' respectively.
The classification was altogether i'm
proper. 1t is due to the Senate and to
the country to state that the Populist
party, while not numbering great
many In this chamber, are as thor
oughly and completely party organ
izatlOn as either the Democratic or the
Republican party. We want it dis.
tinctly understood by the Senate and
by the country that we have no politi'
cal affiliations whatever with either of
the old parties. While our personal re-
lations with Senators on both sides Of
the chamber are what they should be,
vet, so far as our political principles
and our political sympathies are con-
cerned, we are just IS adverse to being
known as Republican Populists' or
Democratic Populists' as either OF the
old parties are to being known as hsv-
ing any tendency to Populism.
"When this Congress convened we
realized that there was q clear major
ity in the Senate in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. We
believed that Senators who declared
themselves in favor Of silver meant
what they said, and that they were not
Democrats first and silver men second,
or Republicans first and silver men
next, but we believed that they were
sincere, and that they were perfectly
willing to unite in bringing about the
passage Of q free silver measure In this
body. To that end we promptly sent
out letters to every man in this cham
ber who had declared himself In faver

We knew that we held the balance Of

Cl6e what was best. After consulting,
viewing the situation fully, we decided
that II was our duty to take advantage
Of the situation and to use the power

believe are necessary to relieve the op.
