NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
A Itnrenuit In the Ono or Kemmn Agnlnat
Van Diisoii.
Ainoiie tlio rlvll court decisions handed
down at l'ottsvlllo yesterday was one by
Judge Endlich in the cm of Lake Keenan
ngatuit Thorns II. Van Dusen, both of
town, granting a new trial to Van Dusen.
Tlio safe was one of ejectment.
On the trial of the cane at the January
term of court It appeared that Keenan and
Van Diuen were owners of adjoining lota of
"ground ou West Lloyd street, botb properties
being loriuwgf nnrt of the Shearer estate.
Keenan betnme tlio cwner of hli 30-foot lot
on August 31, 1808, Van passu th owner of
bte 30-foot lot on December 0, I8T8. In ISM
defendant Van Duten built upon Iia lot,
placing his western wall upon a lino which is
alleged bvplalntllf to encroach 101 inches
upon his laud, and at that width to occupy ft
strip there of 28 feet in depth, north and
south.
Keenan was awarded a Judgment of evic
tion, but the verdict was subjected to the
lollowing reservation: 'The evidence
the plaintiff being that lie was cognlzand of
tlie line upon which the defeiidnnt was erect -
lug lilt wall, and which plaintiff now claims
to be an oncroaclinient npmi liia property,
and tliattliere wan at tlio time no lemon-
strnnce on piaintiirg pnrtnirainst the not of
tlio dofonilaut, the quenllon whether there
can be any recovery in tills action is re
served." In his decision Jmlgo Endlich says : "The
rule for judgment non olwtaute veredicto is
discharged ; the rule for a now trial Is made
absolute ; and tlio verdict Is set asido and a
new trial ordered."
In his written opinion on tho case Judge
IJnilllfli makes some interesting comments
ou ojectrqents u)d saya tlipro is no illITareuce
of opinion between the court and counsel as
to tho existence and correctness of tho rule
which declares "that, if oue knowingly,
though ho does it passively by looking on,
sullers auother to purchase and spend money
on laud, under an errouoous opinion of title,
without making known his claim, he shall
not afterwards be pormitted to exercise his
legal Tight against such person." To
properly understand this rule, says
tho cqurt, Jt is necessary to bear In
mind and distfuguiahod another ljue
of cases which declares that, wbW oue
actively induces auother to pnrohase or spend
money upon land in the Innocent belief that
he lias title to it, even the Ignorance of the
former party of tho existence of his own
right, at the timo, will not permit him to
nssort it thereafter to tlio prejudice of the
person ho has actually misled. Tho dis
tinction between tho two lines of cases lies
just in tbodifforence between mcie passivo-
n ess anu positive encouragement! the
former, in order to operate as an
estoppel, requiring that tho party to
be affected by it because of his silence
knew, at tho time, what his rights were; the
latter closing his mouth whether ho acted
with knowledge, or in ignoranco of his rights.
Involved in tho terms of either of thoso
rules, however, is tlio principle, that au es
toppel can never operate in favor of one who
was not misled by tho act relied upon to
create It. Thero Is no pretence In this ease
that tho plaiutiiTactively encouraged tho de
fendant in building to tho lino iu dispute
The reliance is upon his silenco. In order,
therefore, to justify his being now treated as
estopped from assorting title to this strip of
land against defendant, it would havo to
appear (1) that dofendent honestly bolioved
hill right to extond to the -lino to which ho
hult, and (g) that plaintiff, when ho failed
to object thorcto, not only was cognizant of
the fact that defendant was building to that
Hue, but hlmsolf knew that tho sameVas
upon his property. Those elements are not
admitted on tho record, nor do they appear in
tho poiut reserved, for the Blmple reason
that the evidence does not clearly establish
tliem, so that the point falls short of disclos
ing facta necessary to predicate a decision for
the ucfondant of uon qlMfunto veredicto.
On the question of a now trial Judzo Eud.
Ilfih says that tho decision of tho case by tho
jury W not, m wob stated in the charge.
ucpeuu upon tno solo question whether thero
nau, in iact, ueen an encroachment on plain
tiff's property, or not. Kvcn though there
was, yeui tne plaimtir Uiibw it. and know
ing it failed to object, lie would be debarred
from recovering, provided the defendant be
lieved himself entitled to tho -ground he
took. The question of the plaintiff's knowl
edge that defendant was on his land
was submitted to tho jury, but only.
a ucarlug upon tho actual loca
tion, of )is property line. It ought
to have been submitted as a question involv
ing the existence, or uon-existenco of a sub
stantive defence, If coupled with finding of
defendant's innocence. It is nltocether
possible, perhaps probable, that the result
would have been tlio same had all these
matters Icon properly referred to the iurv:
but inasmuch as it cannot be said with cer
tainty that such would havo been the ease, a
now trial niust bo allowed.

honest Btrptbdltiirw,
Washington, Vftrfi W, The first
day ot the tariff defeats n the house
was rather tame fro both spectacular
of I and an oratorical stafcdoolnt. The ul.
lerles were filled all Car and the mem-
1 bers on thelloor I lit

ly. but-BPT-e wag am abance both of
that sharp cromi flrlrfc which keep the
nerves on edge and! the brilliant elo
quence which lntDliea Rtld holila the
Imagination. TU orHi)5 pf Ue de
bate was delayed owf two ltoure by the
full reading of tba jbUl of 183 pages,
and tills, tp begin Khj Had a some
what depressing: lMvMftea, The He.
publloan member liaiated on this to
avoid the possible SlArfe In the future
that the bill was ntrtw read In full to
the house, a thing hteh happened in
the case of both the McKtnley ana
Wilson pl'ls. Only Shir ipeecriea were
made at the daj? Maeloh. Mr. Ding
ley, chairman of the ways and means
committee, opened itt an hour's speech
for the majority, ahS Jilr, Wheeler, of
Alabama, fired tilt Urpadstde for tile
opposition.
The Democratic plane had miscar
ried. Mr. Bailey, leader of the oppo
sition, had decided to close the debate,
and Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, had
CONOItBSSN 8AIMJY- '
beei) selected To reply to Mr. Dingley,
out at the last moment It was learned
that Mr, McMillan had been unable to
prepare himself, owing to the illness
of his wife. The task, therefore, de
volved on Mr. Wheeler. The latter
was unprepared, but nevertheless kept
the floor for an hour. Mr. Bell, of Col
orado, blazed the path for the Popu
lists, Mr, Jlopklns, gf Illinois, a mem
ber of the ways and mea.na Qommittee,
also spoke.
At the night session of the house
Mr. Bailey, of Texas, presented the
minority report on the-tariff bin. The
report is signed by all the Democratic
members of the ways and meatiB com
mittee, and gives the grounds of their
opposition to the bill. The report is in
part as follows:
"This bill was framed wlth?th6 avow
Pd burppae of protecting tha;manufao-
turers ot the United States against
foreign competition, and it Is perfectly
obvious that if it accomplishes that
purpose it must result In compelling
tne consumers or tills country to. py
more for their manufactured goods,
and for this reason we think it should
not pass, We rest our opposition upon
the broad principle that congress was
invested with the power of taxation
as a means of collecting from each
citizen his fair proportion toward the
support of the government, and that
t s a gross perversion of that sover-
uibu power w empipy it ae & means
or. enaunng favored elusses to levy un
Just charges upon the great body of
tne peopie. we Believe that, if oontrlb.
uting ins proper share toward the
maintenance of this government, every
citizen of this republic Is entitled to
the full possession and enjoyment of
all he. can honestly earn, and we deny
ine ngni or congress to make or en
force any regulation which requires
one man to give any part of his honest
earnings toward enooureginir the en
terprise or Increasing the fortune of
anotner. -
"No man, however blind he may be,'
would defend a system of taxation un
der which the government first col
lected the money and afterwards dis
tributed it among Its favorites. It is
true that the tariff act of 1880 ven
tured to this extent In dealing with the
sugar growert, but the disapproval
of that policy was so overwhelming
and so bitter that the advocates of
protection have beeu forced to abandon
it, and they have net dared to Incor
porate any provision for a direct
bounty in the present bill.
"we are unable, however, to per
ceive any difference In principle be
tween a law which requires the govern
ment to collect money and distribute it
among tho protected industries and 4
Jayir which enables tjiese industries to
collect the money directly from the
people. If the government has the
right to levy taxes upon the people
for the purpose of inducing men to es
tablish unprofitable Industries or in
dustries which can only be made profit
able by compelling the consumers of
the United States to pay exorbitant
prices for their products, then the
bounty system is a more direct and less
complex way of attaining that end and
at least has tho advantage of direct
pens and simplicity.
"The majority of the committee seem
to think that taxation can be made
blesBlng and that the support of th
government, Inxtead of being a burden
upon taxpuycrs. can be made to en
rich them. If this opinion Is well
founded, then all the struggles for
freedom whhh have revolved around
the question of taxation have proceed
ed upon a false theory, and the Amor
lean colonists, when they determined
that they would not submit to taxa
tion without representation, Indulged
In mistaken zeal fur liberty. The pa
triotic resolve of our forefathers not
B,upon wn,en Ureat "main
had laid an lmport duty wag
the argument for protertlrm Is right
the British Importers were really pay
ing the tax over which the American
colonists went to war."
Under the heading "The bill en
courages extravagance" Mr. Bailey
sajs:
"It Is well known that the importa
tions of last year were smaller than
isual, owing to the general depression
that existed In all circles, but even
supposing that Importations hereafter
can be kept at a level with the Impor
tations of 1S96 the bill will collect from
the people more than $90,000,000 annui
ty above the requirements of our pres
ent extravagant and wasteful appro
priations. If the government were now
properly and frugally administered our
expenditures. Including pensions of the
soldiers of the war, would not exceed
the sum of $3110,000.000. -
'President Jackson hardly over
stated the danger of a surplus when
lie declared that it was more danger
ous than a standing army, and vet.
dangerous aa a surplus Is. It Is not so
dangerous as the extravagance which
is always resorted to In order to ore-
vent Its accumulation.
"The friends of the protective system
know that to keep the taxes high they
must find some way of spending the
money which has been collected. It
Is, therefore, the Inevitable conse
quenoe of collecting more than Is
proper that improper ways should be
devised for spending it.
"If the system of unnecessary tax?
atlon is indefensible because of the ex
travagance which it encourages . it Is
sun more so on account of the trusts
which it fosters and promotes. It Is
not more certain that protection en
eourages extravagance than It is that
U breeds unlawful combinations of
capital, Indeed, protection is Justified
upon the avowed theory that compe
tition shall be restricted. These men,
having secured themselves against for
eign competition by the favor of con
gress, will secure themselves against
domestic competition by voluntary
combinations among themselves,
"We believe In the principles of com
petition, and we believe that the peo
ple of the United States can success
fully compete agalnRt all other people
of the world; and we denounce as n
crime against the best Interests of our
people any law whloh leaves the coiv
sumers of this land subject to the ex.
actions pf reckless and corrupt com.
blnattons formed to destroy oompetj.
Uon and control prices,"
Treating of the effect of the bill on
labor, the report says;
"The report of the majority It singu
larly silent upon the old pretext that
these high taxes are imposed for the
benefit of American labor, and the si
lence may be taken as conceding the
Democratic contention tha the fnteli
ligenoe and skill of the American fac
tory operative are all the protection
which he needs or desires. To say that
the welfare of labor depends upon
its wages, and that its wages In turn
depend upon its skill and intelligence,
and in the next breath to suy that the
very intelligent and highly skilled la
borers of this country cannot success
fully compete with the Ignorant and
unskilled laborers of the old world is
equivalent to saying that skill and in
telligence are not of great advantage
to the laborers who possess them.
"The fact that the unskilled laborers
of a half civilized country live more
cheaply than the skilled laborers of a
highly civilized country is more thin
counterbalanced by the greater pro
ductiveness of the skilled and Intelli
gent laborer. The skill and Intelli
gence qf the American laborer are
such that ..he ts able to produce sever!
times as mi as the less skillful and
leas Intelligent laborer Of continental
Europe, and fifteen times as much aa
the Ignorant and unskilled laborers of
Asia,
"We are unable to offer a substitute
for the pending bill because we have
not been allowed a reasonable time to
prepare one. The majority of the pom
mlttee spent the three months of the
last session of the last congress In
preparation of their bill, and yet they
refused to allow the minority three
weeks In which to prepare a substi
tute," -j
The senate agreed to a resolution re
questing the president for Information
relative to the Imprisonment and 'death
of Dr. Ruiz In Cuba. Beyond this, the
brief session, lasting but 40 minutes,
was devoted to the presentation of bills
and reports. Among the reports was
that ot the Todge bill restraining im

The entertainment seemed to give satis

frequent and hearty and the encores quite
numerous.' The Vaudeville Club, under the
direction of its manager, M. F. Durkin, -quitted
itself with flattering success and was
ably assisted by the Schoppe Bros.' orchestra.
Prof. E. w. Wilde and bis mandolin aud

ment and made a great hit. This clab
is composed of Prof. Wilde's pupils and they
reflect careful Instruction. Tim MlMflmift
rendorcd by the Schoppe orchestra were of
rue latest compositions and were eilectively
discoursed. The Vnudeville Club took care
of tho minstrelsy end of the bill with ex
cellent success. ' Every specialty aud act
passed off as smoothly as if the performers
had been Veterans and many of the parts
were very funny. M. F. Durkin was a
pleasing Interlocutor and George 11. Lowrey
John D. Jenkins. T. J. Tempest, Thomas
Cleary, Peter Bcanlan, P. J. Scanlan, (i. W.
Frost and Billy Jenkins made capital em!
men. Tho sentimental songs of Harry Tem
pest, E J. Tobin, P. J. Mi Hale and Master
Willie Cleary were well rendered aud heartily
applauded. The burlesquo boxing match
filled the theatre with laughter. The sing
ing of the Silver Hell quartette was also well
received. The singing and dancing of Scan
lan and Tempest und Jeukln, Scanlan and
Clean- were pleasing specialties and Jenkins
and Howrey created much amusement with '
their knock-ahout act. The program closed
