RIGHTS OF COURTS - MAMTIAL.
Under a Suspension of the; Rules the
Deficiency Appropriation Bill
Passes th House.
'Wa&msuzhs, Feb. !!.". Mr. Alli-on pre
sented the report of the Conference Commit
tee ou the Army bill to tho Struct; to-dty,
stating that the disagreement. had been
adjusted except with retrd to the prux'ee d
t,"U f t'uurt-murtial ui time of peace.
lxo llou-e insisted uji its amendment v
hig the ofiieer of cuiirt?-martial the riht to
til their own hour of region. rlhi jave
rbe to a warm debtee, in the course of whih
the proceeding in the Swaim court-martial
were ntrouly condemned. Mr. Hi;ir said
Uiere were many evil- count cU-d with the
jirtneiit Hj stem of cotirts-marti d in time of
eaee which needed remedying. 'I he oil ice r
coaipmin:; the court were frequently not
acquainted with the principles of law, the
jude advin-ate, wai a pro-cutin o dicer
imply, and the interest.- of the aeeiwd were
often not rtullicifutly protected. Mr. Iujm1N
characterized the nx'eediuH in the Swaim
court martial m a di-race to the civiliza
tion. Mr. Sherman wa inclined to think Mr.
IutfulU hypercritical in mmieuf hi- censures,
but he concurred in thinking that tbo ten
dency to make the jude advocate a pro-editing
otlicer simply was an evil.
Mr. Conner denounced the proceedings
against (Jen. Swaim a- a conspiracy, by
hook or by crook, by law or by influence, to
destroy thU man, the chosen friend if
President Oarneld and appointed a.- such by
President Haye.
Mr. llawley suge-ded that the appearance
of counsel specially retained to defeiid (ten.
Swaim had wholly released the jud'o advo
cate of the court from his duty to look after
the interests of the accused. For his own
part, he would as noon trust his lift or his
honor to a court of thirteen army otlict rs as
to any tribunal in the world.
a Mr. Hoar asked if Mr. Hawley would
justify, in a ca.se where the court had yiven a
jndment, the urinr upon them of a severer
sentence without having the accused heard?
Mr. llawley replied that he was not railed
upon to revise the laws with respect to courts
martial. These laws were not before the
Senate, But with the imperfect informa
tion before them, he protested aain-d he
would not say the abuse but the severe
lani.'ire which had been indulged in by
Senators.
On motion of Mr. Allison, the Senate
further insisted on its amendments to the
army bill and the subject was then allowed
to drop.
The chair appointed Messrs. Allison,
Plumb and Hansom conferees ou the part of
the Senate.
Th Senate then proceeded to consider the
legislative appropriation bill, as reported
by the Appropriation Committee with
amendments.
In the House.
WisniNoroN, Feb. 25. In the House to
day the Committee on War Claims reported
A bill to pay uccouuU found due by the quar
ter master, known a.s the Fourth of July
Claim; c;dendar.
Mr. Townshend asked consent to take
WTom the Speaker's) table and refer the jost-
office bill. Mr. I'ayson (111.) objected. Mr.
Buruc this twin the first of the last -'x
days of the session when motions to suspend
rule are in order moved to suspend the
rale and pas.s the deficiency appropriation
bill with sundry amendments from the ap
propriations committee.
After the 3) minutes allowed for debate
the rolesi were suspended and the bill passed,

TALK WITH BLAINE.
He is Hopeful for a Republican Victory
Four Years Hence.
New York, Feb. -". A Boston special to
the Transcript says: A gentleman who
called ou III .line in Washington a few days
Rjfo tells me he found him in gol spirits,
keenly alive to all that was oinon in and
out of iolitics. Maine, he said, seemed in
excellent health. He told me h w as going
to Kurope, probably this sninmer or fall,
frora which it is perhaps fair to infer that by
that time he will have finished the second vol
ume of his tk. We had a few words about
the Presidential contest four years hence
and PI line said in effect that he had a very
xtroug opinion that the chance were in fa
Tor of the Republicans who he etpected
-nld probibly win an old-fashioned victory.
Vis interesting bit of nun mine from the

DEMOCRATS IN SESSION.
A Wrangle About a Committee of
Conference.
Pay City, Feb. 25. Shortly after 11
o'clock the Democratic convention was call
ed to order by Jerome Eddy, who, at the di
rection of the central committee, named
Col. Geo. 1. Sanford, of Lansing, as tem
porary chairman.
Col. Sanford made a ringing speech, nl
indiug to the great mission of reform of the
Democratic party. In closing he noticed
the distiugui-hed member of the national
committee, Don M. Dickinson, whom he
aked to the platform, and when he got
there a speech was called for.
Mr. Dickinson said this was the beginning
of part three in the National history. The
chapters would be entitled the downfall of
Republicanism, the end of sectionalism, the
revival of Democratic principles, the end of
moneyed power, the end of protection to
capital alone, the end of the rule of moneyed
aristocracy. Cleveland's would be no Miss
Nancy administration. He believed and
thought Cleveland believed that if this was
to be a revival of Democratic principles
none but Democrats should be put on guard.
Applause.
The customary committees were then ap
pointed. When that of conference was called
for a delegate from the Fifth District caused
a laugh by asking what the committee of
conference consisted of. He wanted to
know if it was one of the standing commit
tees of a Democratic convention. Mr.
Little, of Saginaw, said there was danger of
the democracy feeling a little too strong.
They must not ignore the assistance
of their allies. A delegate from the tenth
wanted to know if anyone had told the con
vention that a conference was necessary.
Mr. Whitman, of Washtenaw, moved the ap
pointment of a Conference Committee of
five, instead of one for each district. A long
wrangle ensued, in which, after flirting with
the question of conference and fusion, Mr.
Kilbourne, of Lansing, moved that the chair
man be authorized to offer to make a combi
nation with toe Greenbackers on the basis
that this convention name the candidate for
Justice of the Supreme Court and one regent,
giving the other regent to the Greenbackers.
The motion was lost by a decided vote.
The motion for a committee of five was
also voted down as not Democratic.
The motion for a committee of one mem
ber from each district prevailed, and the
committee was then appointed as follows:
First district, Thomas I). Hawley, De
troit; Second, C. It. Whitman, Ypsilanti;
third, hugene Pringle, Jackson; fourth,
11. F. Hill. Kalamazoo: Fifth, J. H. Koe,
Ionia; Sixth, M. V. Montgomery, Lansing;
Seventh. A. M. Clark, Sanilac: Lighth, John
Moore. Saginaw; Ninth, J. It. Hirdiop, Cadil
lac; Tenth, T. A. Weadock, Hay City;
Lleventh, A. P. Swineford, Marquette.
The committee was then instructed tocon
fer with the convention af "Lansing, and
arrange for a fusion ticket on equitable
terms.
The Greenbackers.
H;H-id Pi-q.ateh to The Tfi.FUU M.
LiNsiNO, Feb. ''.", Hon. T. A. F. Weston,
of Hay City, had his hands full endeavoring
to handle the Greenback convention. They
were an "onery" set and at times would not

SUNDAY SCHOOL VORK.
The State Convention's Session at
Detroit.
Daifcoir, Feb. 'Jo. The State Sunday
school convention and the Detroit Teacher
Institute commenced their fourtli annual
meeting at St. Paul's Church la-t night. The
proceedings, were opened at o'clock by
Hishops Mclareu, Cole, Hare, Knicker
bocker and Harris, the vi-itmg prelates Lav
ing come to Detroit for the puriose of in
stalling the new bishop of NVbra-ka. After
a few words from each of the bishops, the
session adjourned till this morning.
At 10 a. m. to-day Holy Communion was
celebrated by Hihop Harris, of Michigan,
and Kuickerlxcker, of Indiana, and par
taken of by about thirty persons interested
in Sunday School work. Th session being
afterward continued, Hi-hop Knickerbocker
addressed the meeting, deploring the fact
that the tdudy of the Hible is being neglected
by Uiis generation and is rapidly becoming
one of the lot arts. He urged that this be
counteracted by the training of the young in
the tents of the Episcopalian Church.
Bishop Harris said that the la.t speaker's
advice was most valuable, their branch of
the Christian faith giving them the advan
tage of definite instruction and a definite
faith instead of a groping after the truth.
Mrs. M. E. Lambert, a colored teacher of
St. Matthew's Mission school, read a pajter
on the morning's topic, "Practical sugges
tions ujon teaching the holy scriptures."
Mrs. It. I Wagner, of St. James' church
school, followed. She thought the best form
of teaching was by "topics," of which the
bible oilers such an unexhaustible supply,
each subject to be thoroughly sifted and ex
plained before being dismissed.
Bishop Harris expressed his approval of
the last idea, and trusted that the keynote of
doctrinal study having been struck would be
faithfully carried out by all.
Edward Waterfall, of Grace church school,
thought the bible should be accepted as a
whole. He advocated the use of bible
stories.
A BIG HAUL.
Pittsburg; Detectives Find a "Crook's"
Nest in that City.
Pittsdueo, Pa., Feb. 2.". The entire de
tective force are engaged in a raid to-night
on a room occupied by John Griffin, on Wy
lie avenue, which has for a long time bten
suspected as the headquarters of a well
known gang of thieves, and the place in
which stolen plunder was concealed, but not
until this evening was the evidence sutli
ciently strong to justify the action of the
detectives. A thorough search instituted,
resulting in the discovering of the biggest
lot of valuables ever captured in one place
in this city. Five thousand dollars was
found secreted in various parts of the room
and on the person of Griffin, jewelry and
valuables of all kinds to the value of about
G,0U0, were found hidden under the lloor.
The st arch will be renewed in the morning,
and it is expected other articles will be un
earthed. Griffin and several of the gang are
under arrest.

DAIRYMEN IN COUNCIL.
FORMATION OF AN ASSOCIATION
Michigan Dairymen Assemble and Or
ganize for Mutual Improvement
and Protection.
About forty prominent dairymen of the
State Bumbled in the Suien isor room, in
the court block, yesterday forenoon, for the
liurpose of orjauiziu a. State Dairym.tn'n
Association. The morning leiou was
called to order a little before 10 o'clock and
S. .L Fuller was chose u chairman, and E. A.
Stowe, Secretary. Mayor Belknap welcomed
the association to the city in a e hort and ap
propriate f it ech, to which Mr. Puller re
sioudtd brit tly, stating that the objects of
the organization was the improvement of
the condition of dairymen throughout the
State. The following committees were then
a pi pointed and an adjournment wau taken
until i? p. m.:
On Permanent Organization: C. 1J. Lam
bert, Last Saginaw; Ja. Skinner, Dauron
Station: F. K. Pickett, Milliards.
On Constitution and l)y-Lare:E. L.
Prifgs, Grand Itapids; W. II. Howe, Atlas:
arren Haven, Bloomington.
On Program: W. S. Luther, Osfian, la.;
N. S. Andrew?, Dubuque, la.; N. Wiggins,
liloomingdale.
Ou Dairy Utensil: A. E. Johnson, Sparta;
John W. JJoorst, Vrieland; L. J. cjoi, Port
age. The afternoon session was called to order
promptly. The Committee on Permanent
Organization made a partial report and were
given until evening to complete its work.
The Committee on Constitution and By
Law made a reiort, which was accepted
and adopted. The program announced
by the committee had been prepared for the
afternoon session only and provided for the
customary routine basinet and the discus
sion of two subjects; one to be led by S. L.
Fuller and F. E. Pickett uion "The Dairy
Cow, Breed Considered and the Care of the
same," the other a paper by D. B. Suibbs,
of Muskegon, npon "Butter-Making."
Both of these nubjects brought out
interesting and lively debate-, near
ly every man present expressing his
ideas. Upon the subject of the dairy cow
there were many conflicting opinions, and
the favorite breed of the man nion the floor
could be readily discerned from his language.
In the limited space of this article it would
be impossible to give the various ideas ex
pressed, and a few random shots are only re
corded. Mr. Fuller said if corn is king, the
cow is queen. If man wishes a cow for milk
qualities only he should make his purchase
with this end in view; if it was cheese he
was after he should purchase a cheese-making
cow. You cannot mix cream of differ
ent grades and make good butter, hence the
necessity for thorough breeding. Brains, as
well as muscle, should enter into butter
making. In order to compete with oleo
margarine and butterine farmers must pro
vide sometlung better. Much depends upon
feeding, as well as selection. The cow i a
machine, and in order to produce the best
results must have the best of feed, care
and treatment. The men first to improve
their stock are to be the successful butter
makers. Mr. Pickett said cows mut be
treated kindly, even calves from birth must
know their owner is their friend. A cow
should never be whipped, and anything that
is unfit for man to eat is unfit for a cow to
eat. F. Richmond, of Saranac: I have had
a great deal of experience in stock raiding
and in dairies, and have had best results
with grade Jerseys. By actual experiment I
have found that the same cow, with propf r
feeding, will give, in a 20-quart graduated
can, three-fourths of an inch difference in
the thickness of the cream. I do not care to
give a cow straw diet three times a day, and
never ue straw in feeding. S. S. Andrews,
of Dubuque, la., said: I believe in feeding
a cow from the oubdde. It's a poor policy
to feed a cow corn when she stands out-of-doors
and the thermometer is thirty degrees
ldow zero. In self cting breeds for a dairy
I would avoid vicious breeds. The dairy
business pays the best of anything in Iowa.
During 1SS4 there were spread over the state
every Saturday night over f2,U0,() for
dairy products alone. E. I Brigg
thinks the time is not far distant when the
breeding of dairy oow will be a regular
established business. During a residence of
twenty-five years in Kent county be had sen
little improvement in cows. A. E. Johnon,
of Sparta: The worst I hare evfr in
cheated is whrn I have t aid the mot money
for a cow. I increase the fed of a cow
jut as long as she increase ht rmilk f;r rne,
and in rny judgment the feeing i a mat Ur
of experiment. Many othfr speaker fol
lowed in the same lin of thought.
