Col. F. D. Curtis, in a letter to the
American Agriculturist, says: Very few
oi me tanners oi uus country appre
ciate the value of turnips as a farm
erop. Some chemists estimate them to
eontain ninety-five per cent of water,
leaving only five per cent of flesh- orm
ing material; and oat of this small part
they deduct a portion as woody fibre,
only good to help mi up the stomach of
an animal. 1 am not prepared to dis
pute the correctness of this; analysis,
but I do take issue with the connclu-
sioof that turnips have no greater value
as food than may be indicated by the
chemises ngures. lurnips have pos
sibly a mechanical value, as they may
aid in, the digestion ot more concen
trated food, such as corn meal, when
fed with it. Perhaps the fault is to be
found in the fact that the ninety-five
per cent of water is put down
as worthless. In the economy of na
ture; this very water may prove of
more importance than has been ascribed
to it. I have found that raw turnips
will not only sustain life, but cause hogs
to thrive when fed nothing else. I do
not mean when fed a large quantity, but
an amount, which, according to the
chemist's tables, would be such a small
per cent ot the actual food that starva
tion would be expected. Sheep and
cattle will fatten on them,, with very
little bay. The credit cannot be put
down- to the hay, but must be carried
over to the turnips Knowing the rea
value of turnips, and how easily they
way be converted into meat, why should
not tne American iarmer avail nuuseii
of the opportunity, and not rely so ex
clusively on corn ? Every farmer should
have a turnip patch, the larger the bet
ter ; The erop ean always be made sup
plementary to another on the farm, and
is so much clear gain.

WABiimuTOJl, July 9. SlNATI
After the presentation of the usual va
riety of petitions' the Senate took up
Mr. Riddleberger's resolution, offered
yesterday, to have the executive session
of today held with open doors.
Mr. Harris' made the point of order
that the resolution proposed a change
of the rules) and that proper notice of
it had not been given.
Mr. Riddleberger conceded that the
point of order might apply, but he
had merely wanted to call attention to
the matter, and he was going to do so
on every occasion that presented itself.
The chair sustained the point of or
der and the resolution was laid on the
table.
Mr. Sewell, from the committee on
pensions', presented a report in the case
of the vetoed bill granting a pension to
Margaret D. Marchand, widow of Com
modore Marchand. The committee re
peats its former report in the case, and
recommends the passage of the bill over
the Jr resident s objections. Referred.
The time for considering the calendar
having exnired. Mr. Edmunds moved
that the Senate go into executive ses
sion.
Mr. McMillan, who has charge of tho
river and harbor bill, reviewed the
course of the bill thus far, and gave no
tice that he would ask the Senate to fin-
sh it tomorrow. He moved that a vote
on the passage of the bill be taken at 5
o'clock tomorrow. Several objections
were made ; then Mr. McMillan an
nounced his intention to ask the Senate
to sit tomorrow till the bill was dis
posed of.
Mr. Hoar offered a resolution calling
on the President for information as to
the seizure or detention ' in any foreign
ports of any American vessels on pre
texts or the alleged causes therefor,: and
what efforts have been made to provide
redress for such seizures and to prevent
their recurrence. The resolution went
over.
Mr. Call offered a resolution calling
on the President to direct the American
representative in Mexico to investigate
the truth of the statements made in the
newspapers that citizens of the Unit
ed States are confined in Mexican dun
geons without trial for alleged offences
against the laws of Mexico, and that
their final trial has been postponed
without cause : and requiring the Unit
ed States government (if such statements
are found to be true) to demand trial of
s,uch persons: and their humane treat
ment during confinement and to make
provision for their defense and relief
from confinement, where : no sufficient
cause for detention is found, also re
questing the . President to institute ne
gotiations with the government of Mex
ico for a convention to secure a fair trial
without unnecessary delay of citizens of
the United States who may be charged
with violating the laws of Mexico. '
As a basis for the resolution Mr. Call
sent to the clerk s desk and had read
dispatch from Chihuahua, published
in the IN ew i or Jr. Herald stating the
case of Merklcy, a station agent of the
Mexican Central railroad company. The
resolution' went over.
Mr. Edmunds' resolution was agreed
to, and the Senate, at 12:45, went into
executive session. j .
immediately alter the doors were
heap no recrimination or condemnation
upon the President for his veto mes
sages. They were caused by a total mis
apprehension on the part of the jPresi
dent ef his relations to the administra
tion of the government. He; (Mr.
Grosvenor) had read all the vetoes com
ing from that prolifio source of vetoes,
and he thought the trouble was that the
President understood that it was his
duty to examine carefully every act of
Congress, and if he, as a member of
Congress would not vote for the bill, he
gave no sort of consideration or Weight
to the fact that the legislative branch of
the government had acted affirmatively
upon it. The President acted upon the
idea that tho executive had the right
and it was his duty to decide absolutely
on every question. j '
Another idea of the President's was that
no private act should be approved un
less there was a law authorizing it,
wholly oblivious to the fact that Con
gress was a law making power and hnd
the right to confer a pension on any
body. Mr. Grosvenor then detailed the facts
of the special bill under consideration
and commented on the fact as he asserted
that tho President had approved the
Fitz John Porter bill on the very day
that he had vetoed the bill granting a
pension to Sally Ann Bradley, the
mother of four sons, two of whom had
died, on the battle field, and two ot
whom were in hospital disabled. Fitz
John Porter would go on the
fension roll while Sally Ann ; Brad
ey would go to the poor-bouse,
and this was the government which
undertook to say that it was; deal
ing generously and liberally with its
soldier. The House was paralyzed and
terrified by the veto of a single man,
a proposition tyrannioal in the direction
of absolute usurpation, in the direction
Of turning from its normal posit
Congress'of the United States an
ing aver the administration of the gen
erosity of the government to one man.
Applause on the Republican side".
Mr. Matson merely; remarked - in re
ply that he had just learned that in the
47th Congress a republican committee
of the Senate had reported that die wo
man ought not to be pensioned for ic
tame reasons that the President said she
ought not to be pensioned. (Applause
on the democratic side )
Mr. Long, of Massachusetts, sug
gested that at that time the woman had
a husband living who wa in receipt of
a pension.
The bill and message were then re
ferred yeas 122, nays 111.
Matters then proceeded smoothly and
the messages were read and referred to
the appropriate committees without de
bate or objection, until the veto mes
sage on the bill granting a pension to
Francis Denning was reached, when the
Republicans demanded and were ac
cord-ad half an hov for debate. '
Mr. Boutelle. ot Maine, -arraigned
the president for what he j characterized
as his crusade against the veterans of the
oountry." He regarded the policy of the
President as an open; clear, unmistak
able announcement that the Democratic
party was opposed to recognizing the
services and sacrifices of men who gave
their lives or health in order that this
great nation might be preserved. The
time had come when the Democratic
party felt itself sufficiently firmly seated
in the saddle to utter its defiance and
hostility to the men who went to the
front to Bave the Union in its hour of
peril. He thought, he could see
the muse of history looking at
the grand procession ot chief magistrates
and he could imagine the expression of
ineffable disgust which would pass over
the features of the "Goddess of Ameri
can Liberty when she should look
closed an order wari made upon the mo- upon the panel upon which was! depiut-
on the
kl turii-
tion of Senator Ingalls, that the publio
should be excluded from the upper oor-
riders, lobbies and committee rooms,
which order was carried into effect at
onoe.
This resulted in closing the offices ef
the Associated Press and the Western
Union and Baltimore k Ohio telegraph
companies, and the ejectment of all the
reporters from their quarters . in the
Senate wing:, of the oapitol.
An adverse report upon the nomina
tion or solioitorggeneral i John Uoode
was then taken up.
It is said a programme of operations
in this case had beenarranged by the
Republicans members of the judiciary
committee by which Mr. Edmunds had
assumed the task of speaking upon the
subject of Goode's alleged incompetency
as evinced in the decisions on file in the
department: of justice. To Mr. Hoar
was assigned the task of exploring
Uoode s alleged connection with the tis
sue ballot system of carrying elections

ceeded to read from the Record to snow
that all legislation favorable to the sol
dier had emanated from the Republican
party and had been passed by Republi
can votes against the solid votes of the
representatives of the solid South and
against almost the Bond vote of the
Dcmocratio party.
Mr. Brumm, of Pennsylvania, char
aoterized the President as the great
obliterator of segregated rights; and th
great representative of absolute power,
and said the Democratic party of the
House, a party which was opposed to
centralization, stood by humbly and
said to the President, "Not n.y will.
but thine be done.' He continued to
berate the Democrats, which he did in
such an energetic manner as to call forth
rounds of applause and laughter from
both sides of the House, lie denounced
them as poltroons and cowards,; who ex
onerated their Jt resident whenever he
chose to slap them in the face ; and spit
him.
At 6:12 the doors were re-Opened
and the senate adjourned.
HODBl.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, the speaker announced that the
regular order was the vote on the de
mand for the previous question.
On motion to refer to .the committee
on invalid pensions, a message of the
president vetoing tne Dill granting ' a
pension to Sally Ann Bradley, was read
amid a good deal oi confusion.
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, on the
part of the Republicans, and Mr. Mat-
son, of Indiana, representing the demo
crats,, endeavored to come to some ar
rangement, the time being frittered away
with the roll call, it was finally agreed
that the demand for the previous ques
tion should be withdrawn and that Mr.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, should be allowed
fifteen minutes to oppose the motion to
refer with permission to some Democrat
to reply if so desired.
Mr. Grtivenor said that he desired to

Laughter
Cleveland "uo you see; yonder
cloud that is almost in the shape of a

Democratic Congress "By the mass,
and it is like a camel, indeed.?"
Cleveland "Methinks it is like a
weasel."
Democratic Congress "It is baoked
like a weasel.
Cleveland "Or like a whale."
Democratic Congress "Very like a

executive of yours," continued Mr.
Brumm, "has only: to point out shape
or form and the Democratic: party is
down on its marrow-bones, eayiog, 'As
thou wilt, and not as I will.' " Laugh
ter. Mr. HilL of Ohio, made an argument
to show that the Democratic party had
credit for much of the pension legisla
tion 'of the cquutry.
M)r. Curtin, - of Pennsylvania, be
spoke for the President decent respect
and decent speech. He did not know
what the pending bill was about. Its
merits had not been presented, but the
House had resolved itself into apolitical
meeting. The gentlemen must under
stand that before the election should
come the people would forget all these
speeches, so they might reserve their
campaign eloquence for a while He
could speak, because he was not in the
same category. He was not looking for
votes, but all the rest were.
The, House should turn its attention
to business If it did not, it would be
here until the last of August. Thi vi
tuperation and abuse of the President
was jail wrong. He asserted his entire
confidence in tho integrity of tho Presi
dent and in his desire to do his duty,
and he reserved to himself the right to
approve or disapprove vetoes. Suppose
tnattmembers quit quarreling and turn
their attention to public business. Lot
them remember what they had been
taught by their mothers :
"Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
Dor bod has made them so.
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For 'tis their nature to.
But little children should not let their
; angry passions rise :
! heir little hands were

(Laughter.)
Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, thought he
should apologise for discussing pension
matters, as he had been a Confederate

erates ought to have thoucht of this
matter of pensions twenty-five years ago.
tie itck-nowledged that at the beginning
of the war he bad not given the matter
that due consideration to which it hsd
probably been entitled. (Laughter.)
Hojhad been quite a young boy then,
but; along about tho third year of the
war he began to think seriously of it,
and so much had ho been im pressed
with the fact that the course he was pur
suing would bankrupt the united
states government in pensioning
the widows of soldiers, he was killing
that finally. With gun in hand he retreat
ed across five or six States with the en-
my in his front rather than slay a
whole army. (Laughter).
The oombat had finally come to the
point that he saw that he would have to
slay the whole army or give up and he
aid down bis gun like a man and went
home. He wanted to call attention to
little incident which occurred when
he , was on his way home. lie had
gone into the war at the age of fourteen
and had remained four years, an I he
was pretty well tired of fighting. Tj re
was another boy with him as he was go
ing home who had not been in the war
so long and who wantad hira to go across
the river into Alabama and fight with
Kirby Smith. He had had about enough
fighting and did not wish to go, and
they were arguing about the matter
when they saw an old gentleman com-.
ing across the held, and waiting for
them at a fence. When they reached
him he was very much interested to
know about the surrender and about
our institution. "I told him," con
tinued. A lien "in a decided tone that our
institution was gone. (Laughter.) He
asked me what I was going to do? I
told him I was going home. He said :
Young man you are right, you
go': khome and go to ploughing.
My experience is that when you fight
and get beaten you ought to go to
something else." Then he began to
philosophize, and said,. "Boys, this has
been a mighty bad war; we bave lost a
good many of our best men; we have
a great many one legged and one-armod
soldiers in our midst who can scarcely
earn a living, and a great many widows
and orphans. The soldiers have been
terribly demoralized and our homes
have been desolated and devastated.
Boys, this has beena terrible war, but
wa can stand all this. The only thing
temble is that some fools who
have not made much reputation
out of the war will be wanting to throw
this thing up to us for the next twenty
five years. Loud laughter I make
no-application ot thin incident, but it
dobs look like words of prophetic wis
dom."
The message was then referred with
out objection.
Ihe next and last veto message upon
the speaker's tabic was then laid before
the House, it was the message vetoing
the bill granting a pension to Josep'i
ROmiser, and as this case is regarded
as:presenting specially strong features
the Republicans determined to make a
fight over its reference.
jMr. McComas, of Maryland, who
originally introduced tho bill, made an
explanation of it and analyzed
t'wB - veto message of the President
The bill, he said, had passed both
houses with unanimity. The President
declared that he thought the; committee
on invalid ensions had reported that
Roomer had filel a claim for a pension
which had been rejeoted by the pens on
office. There was no such case in the
office. The President said that Romiser
hid never filed a claim If this were
true, the committee was indeed con
vioted of gross carelessness, and doubt
less the President made the statement
to -illustrate the loose methods of the
committee and his own accuracy in ex
ainining these private pension bills. If
this charge were unfounded, then the
President was oonvicted of still grosser
carelessness, because the report of the
committee had warned him that there
Was a case in the office. He (McComas)
held in his hand the very bundle of pen
sion papers in the case of Jos. Romiser
The packet recorded all the proceed
ihgs from the time of filing the claim in
1879 until its rejection
: The records showed that the pension
office found that though Romiser was
severely wounded by a minie ball pass
ing through his head and face, because
he was cot mustered in, the office was
" oons train ed " to reject it.
When the President s veto came to
the House declaring that there were no
such papers, he had telephoned to
the pension office and had no trouble in
getting them.
W hy had not the President done like
wise ; why had he reproved the com
mittee for what now proved
to be his own carelessness?
The committee had been diligent ; tho
President had been negligent ; . Congress
had been just. The President had de
nied justice to a citizen whose case had
never been considered. Romiser, he
said, was justly entitled to a pension
because he had been inspired by the spirit
of the minute men of Concord and Lex
ington. There were many precedents for
tho bill. The very first Congress had
passed a bill pensioning the minute men
of Concord and Lexington, and George
Washington, unlike President Cleve
land, had approved it. Thomas Jeffer
son, the father of the democratic party.
had signed a bill granting pensions to
men who had never been mus
tered into the army, and An
drew Jackson had sismed a similar
bill. Abraham Lincoln, in a like ease.
had said that he would not inauire
whether a man had been mustered in,
but only whether he had done his duty.
Applause. If the members of Con
gress could not rise above party feeling
and go with Jackson, Jefferson and
Lincoln and Washington, let them eo
with Cleveland and send back this poor
soldier who had neverj received a dollar
of pay, who had scarcely a bullet left,
and who suffered for twenty-five years
with neuralgia for serving his country.
Every man who thought that the fathers
or the Democratic nartv were instinct
with tho heroism of Concord and Lex
ington would vote for a minute
man of 1861, who got a bullet in
his head when on his way
to join the bojs in blue. (Applause.)
Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, vigor
ously assailed the veto and maintained
that there was no reason why the bill
should be referred to the committee.
Mr. Springer said that he would not
discues the pending bill and veto mes
sage of the President thereon, except to
call attention to the fact that it was first
vetoed in the pension office, in 1882, by
commissioner Dudley. But gentlemen
on the other side of the chamber had
taken advantage of the discussion to
attack the President and the Democratic
party, and to charge that they were op
posed to granting pensions. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
During the entire eight years
of Gen. Grant's administration onlv
542 private pension bills were granted.
During the 47th Congress, which was
Kepubiican in both branohea, only 151
private pension bills were passed.
But during the last or 48th Congress
which contained a majority of Demo
crats m this House, and when the gen
tleman from Indiana (Mr. Matson) was
chairman of the committee on pensions.
there were 552 of such bills passed and
became laws, and during this Congress
since December last, Congress had pass
ed 665 private pension bills, of whieh
about 575 had either been signed by
President Cleveland or had become
laws without his action. He had vetoed
about 90 private pension bills, but 33
more had passed and become laws
during his administration up to this time
than were passed during the eight years
of Grant b administration. General
Black, commissioner of pensions, had
granted 110,000 certificates to pen
sioners since he assumed the duties of
his effice, that being ten per cent more
than had ever before been issued bv
any of his predecessors during the 6am
length of time. The treasury of the
United States attested the effect of Gen
Black's increased efficiency in the ad'
ministration of the pension office. The
payments to pensions during the . fiscal
year just ended exceeded those of the
previous fiscal year by 88,600,000. But
notwicnstanding this increase in pen
sion payments, there had been s
net reduction of expenditures during
the past ascal year of nv-?
$16,000,000 as compared with the fist-t
year oi looo. Excluding pensions, the
reduction of the ordinary expenditures
for 1886 as compared with 1885
amounted to $24,500,000. This state
mc-nt was from the treasury department
The bill was referred. This cleared
the speaker's table of the veto mes
sages.
The House then resumed the consid
eration of the general deficiency bill, and
by a vote of 124 to 86 confirmed the action
of the committee of the whole in agreeing
to the amendment making an approrri
ation to meet the Fox and Wisconsin
river claims. A stormy scene then en
sued over the amendment granting to
the House and senate employees one
month's extra pay. The House was in
great confusion, which was increased
when Keagan onarged tnat the amend-
ment had been tampered with and made
to include the official reporters and the
oapitol police. He stated fiat tie
- .
amendment, as agreed to in committee,
had not included those employees.
Mr. HeDb'urn. of Iowa, who ' had
originally drafted the amendment, stated
that no change had been made in it, and
Mr. Reagan admitted that he must have
been mistaken. The opponents of the
amendment failed to secure the yeas and
nays on its passage, and the amendment
was agreed to. 1 hey, however, secured
the roll-call on a motion to reconsider
and lay on the table. The latter motion
was agreed to yeas no, nays 1U4; so
the amendment remains in the bill.
Pending further action, the House
took a recess until 8 o'olock, the even-
. i r .1 . . .
ing session to ne ior tne oonsideratt o
of pension bills.
