The Davenport Gazette gives the
following particulars Of bloody
tragedy, which occurred near Delmar,
Scott county, on the Dist ult. 1t es-
capped our notice until now:
Itappears that one. Scott, having
prepared bis weapons, called his
wife upstairs, saying he wished to
have q talk with her. The unsus-
pecting wife complied and went to
the room. There stood her husband
with a shot gun In his hand. No
sooner had she stepped across the
threshold then he raised the gun to
fire, but while the cap exploded the
charge did not. She turned and ran
down stairs, and out OF the house 10
the front gate. There she was over
taken by him. She saw that her
hope lay In Selling him, and she
endeavored to do so, and struggle
ensued, during which he discharged
the gun without injuring her. She
broke away aud fled again, and had
reached a point thirty rods east OF
the house, when he again came upon
her--and she turned to repeat her
method Of seizing him, he fired
pointing the gun In such a manner
~ to tear away portion Of her right
breast. He then threw down his
gun and drew a revolver. The
wounded wife ran for life--and again
turned and grappled with him,
bloody and faint as she was In this
struggle she received shot In the
right hand and its index finger. She
broke away and fled for the barn, and
while attempting to run around ii
for protection, she received revolt
Yer ball Immediately behind the
right ear, and another one above the
ear, making wound clear to the
forehead. At this she fell to the
ground, and her husband supposing
he had killed her, put the revolver
to his own head and sent ball
crashing through his brain, and
dropped at the side of tho wounded
woman.
At last accounts Mrs. Scott was
still alive, with good prospect Of
recovery.

fund was included i'm his statement
of the years expenditures and was
not included In the statement Of
previous years expenditures and
had not gone tothe country. "While
accusations go on horse back, refuta-
tions travel very slowly on foot"
The House and country bad been
startled by the statement that for
the current year the appropriations
had increased to three hundred and
nineteen millions against two hum
bred and ninety millions last year /;
in other words, that the extrava.
gance OF Congress had swollen the
expenditures twenty-nine millions
in a single year. But when that
tweniy-niDe millions had to be taken
bodily out Of Mr.. Dawes statement
TO make it correct, not only had the
bottom gone from the cause Of alarm
but the alarm ought to have gone
with it. lie said the Committee on
Appropriations. had settled 1t as a
principle that they would not under
take TO cut down the appropriations
at all hazards to the level Of the rev.
enues. They proposed to cut off
such appropriations as might be cut
off with safety and postpone such
expenditures AS might be postponed
without serious injury to the inter
ests Of the government, but beyond
this the committee did not intend to
90. If the receipts then do not
equal the expenditures, the House
must provide ways and means to
make them. He then went into the
detail Of the estimates and appropri-
ations for the next fiscal year, and
stated that there would be a reduc-
ton Of $34 100000. These figures
were liable to be diminished by APP
preparations, such as the Centennial
exhibition and for the Washington
Board Of Public Works, but he
thought himself perfectly safe in
saying that the expenditures for
the next fiscal year, exclusive Of the
sinking fund, would be reduced to
$270, 600, 900, provided the House
would continue to support the com
mittee, and he believed the govern
ment would go through this year
and next without additional taxation
and when Congress meets next ses-
sion there would be no deficit, but a
reasonable surplus.

The position taken by Western
Republicans in general conversation
on the McCrary Railroad bill may be
regarded as proof Of their probable
votes. 1t does not seem likely now
that there will be ten vote. against II
among the representatives of Illinois,
Indiana, the Northwest, Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon,
Nevada, California, and probably
Ohio, while the South will be almost
unit in its favor. II is conceded
that the feeble revamping of States
rights theories, with which the DEM
ocratic opposition has armed itself,
Is the death of any tendency to in
fiuence to which the party may have
ATTAINED i'm the farmers movement.
Shrewd politicians regard this
session as sure to commit the Repub-
lican party i'm Congress to the policy
Of Government Supervision OF rail-
roads. This is accepted as giving a
new lease Of power. The President
has recently renewed expressions OF
approval of some such measures as
McCrary's bill.

orship of Massachusetts,, in order, BY
enforcing State control of railroads,
that he may thereby put himself at

In little plain talk upon some
home matters, the Davenport Gazette
points its arguments with some whele-
some truths, which are applicable in
other places than in Davenport, and
to other papers than the Gazette,
which, by the way, is one Of the best
papers, Daily and Weekly, in Iowa.
Ii says:
1.-The newspaper business illustrates
this condition of things very strik-
ingly We are trying, for instance, TO
make the Gdzette worthy the patron
age Of an enlightened Iowa public.
We buy kilograms at costly figure,
and would gladly improve the paper
until it should become a worthy rival
Of its Chicago competitors. But there
is such an itching for foreign papers,
and people are SO ready TO run their
legs off To deluge the country with
Chicago and New York journals, that
we cannot afford to bring it up TO our
ideal. or to make IL what 1t otherwise
might be. So the benefit Of develop
ing iowa journalism 10 a high stand
ard is lost, while the press Of distant
cities are furnished the opportunity of
moulding the sentiment of our State
into subsection to their respective in
terests. How long shall we thus vol
unfairly forge the chains which re-
press home enterprise and make iowa
tributary to other communities :?
"Sustain your own" should be the
motto Of every locality, and Of all the
people of our young and growing
State.

The discussion Of the McCrary bill
by the lower House OF Congressseens
likely to array nearly all the Demo-
cratic members against the measure.
Judge Arthur, OF Kentucky, made a
very elaborate argument against the
bill, basing his opposition mainly on
the State rights doctrine. As we have
before indicated, on the questions
now uppermost in the public mind,
the Democratic party Is arraying it.
self squarely against the interests Of
the laboring and producing classes
OF the country. II there was before
any doubt on that score, this action
will doom the party to certain repu-
diation by the people. Safe Journal.

Compulsory Edscaaion.

In order that justice be maintained
and happiness follow as a natural
result, there must be wise laws and
wise ruler to enforce the laws. The
administrators OF government should
be educated. An ignorant admins
traitor is the curse Of nation. IN
absolute monarchy, one rules; in a
limited monarchy, the reins Of gov
eminent, are in the hands OF few (;
in a republic, the people rule. The
education OF rulers is more easily at
tained in monarehial than in repub-
Iican governments. Why? In a
monarchy only a fear, while in re-
public mnay enter into the choice OF
laws and the enforcement of them.
Hence, in the pursuit Of education,
there should be greater zeal mani
tested in a republic than in mon
archy. n any part Of the United
States In educated to higher stand
ard than other countries are, 1t is no
more than should be. The United
states is tire grandest republic on the
earth; and republic has more at
stake than monarchy--the one can
succeed only through education d
the many while the other'may pros
per through the enlightenment OF a
few. Every voter Is part OF
the ruling power and exercises his
right. Hence every voter should be
educated. But voters are Influenced
by Others therefore we conclude
that not only voters but all who in
fuence them should be educated.
We do not argue for compulsory
education law only because IL will be
beneficial to succeeding generations,
hut because we are responsible for
the destinies Of Others, if we sre
able In any way to better their con.
dition. IF one see a house taking
fire. and willfully allows the growing
fame tn do its work. he is blamed
for wrong doing, though not held
responsible for it. If one finds
a fellow being III a starving condI-
ton, and through willfuI neglect
leaves him to die, he is subject TO
terrible copsure vet suffers no penal
~. These illustrations show how
man may blame yet not condemn.
Censnre and condemnation are
inseperable with God. If we do not
exert the power Of law 10 it's full ex-
tent in breaking down the strong
holds Of ignorance and crime. we
stand responsible and will be called
upon for talents laid awav in nap

WASHINGTON, March S.

The House went into committee of
the whole on the legislative appro-
priation bill, and was addressed by
Mr.. Garfield, chairman of the CONF
inittee on appropriations. He re-
ferred to the statement made by
them at the beginning Of this session
Of Congress that the surplus was
gone, and said that three questions
presented themselves; first, II there
was deficit, In the far future what
would be the cause of it; second, was
there any danger of such deficit;
third, what was the duty of Con-
gress. On the first point he explain
cd that one cause OF the deficit was
the reduction Of taxes every year
since the war, except two, 1868 and
1879. The taxes had been reduced
to IN amount in the aggregate Of
$Sl6, 100000, and yet at the close of
the last fiscal year there was a sur
plus Of $4,000, 900 receipts above the
expenditures. Against all the theo-
ries OF the cause of the deficit, he
simply placed the fact that the reve-
mites had been cut down $4,000, 900
since july, 1870, and according to his
arithmetic 1t WAS sufficient to cut
away one hundred millions surplus.
He had the clerk read an extract
from Mr.. Dawes speech to show that
MIR. Dawes had frankly and manful-
~ acknowledged that the sinking
