ACCORDING to Mr.. Rueter, the Presi,
dent of the Brewers Association, which
met last week at st. Louis, the
manufacture and sale of lager beer and
ale are steadily increasing in the United
States, and that nearly the whole amount
is drank at home though the value Of
the export of beer in bottlee and casks
has increased from about $25, 900 in 1870
to nearly $3.50 900 in 1873. The product
for the year ending with this June will
be about ten million barrels, of which
New York will make about oDe.third.
As another consequence of the erection
Of breweries in every State and Territory
and the improvement of TIE quality of
the beer, the number of gallons of beer
imported has fallen off from over 2 1000.
600 in 1875 to about third the quantity
in 1873 A great stimulus has been 81.
multaneously given to the cultivation of
hops in the United States, so that not
only has the importation Of foreign hops
almost ceased, but in 1873 we exported
nearly ten times as much as in 1873.
1t is claimed by the followers Of king
Gambrinus, that he has done more for
the sobriety and happiness of the people
than Neal Dow and all his host. But
man may make hog and nuisance of
himself, even with lager beer. About
ten million barrels a year are consumed
In the United States.

REPUTATION OF THE NATIONAL
GREENBACK PARTY PLATFORM.
A portion of the Greenbackers or a
substantial element of the party, have
bolted the "repudiation" part of the
platform adopted by the Convention on
the 4ih. Those who were open in their
expressions of dissatisfaction held a
meeting on the evening of that date and
adopted a call for another convention, to
be held at Toledo on the 24tb Of this
month. The following is the text of the
call, though all the names Of the signers
are not given:

with great regret, compelled to repudiate
the proceedings of said convention. The
true and earnest members of the party
were unable to give expires
sion of their views in the platform by
reason of a concerted movement on the
part of certain Clubs or combinations of
men, who repudisted the action Of the
National convention of the party at To-
ledo, on the 22d Of February, 1878 and
who, Improperly getting control of the
convention, adopted a platform at vari-

]. ]. CLARK of Canton, the valiant
limb of the law, reporter for Dun & Co.'S
commercial agency, aud would-be grand
dictator and supervisor of the public
press, has, it seems, been trying his hand
at new role, that of short haired bully
or plug ugly, so to speak. After enter
ing upon newspaper war with the chief
of the clan, MCGregor, and getting bad.
ly wolsted in fight of his own seeking,
and with weapons of his own choosing,
he violates all rules of deCency, and for
feits his claims to gentility by attempt.
ing an assault and battery argumentupon
the person of A. McGregor of the Demo-
crat. Our Canton correspondent gives
the following version of the affray:
"0n Friday last MCGregor was stand.
ing in front of the court house, engaged
in conversation with deputy sheriff Dun
bar and Austin Lynch, of the law firm Of
Lynch, Day & Lynch, when Clark came
along, and with few warmed up words
and blood in his eye, collareC the tall
son of the northern Gael, and was about
to strike him, when Lynch stepped in;
Clark hurled him aside with rush and
stuck wildly at McGreGor, but failed to
connect; he drew off to hit him again,
when Dunbar stepped between, and
Clark struck over his shoulder, and was
again to short in the reach. A police.
man then came along and led Clark
away"
When it is remembered that Mr.. Nc
Gregor is over 60 years of age, and of
very frail physique, while Clark is stout
built, red haired young man, OF about
half that number of years, this little i'm
cident does not add materially to his
reputation for bravery or manhood.
When man engages in newspaper
war he ought to count the cost. If he
gets whipped let him take his defeat
gracefully. If he gets mad and wants to
fight, he only proves himself calf, and
that's our opinion.-AHidnce Review.
The farcical exhibition that ]. ]. Clark
made of himself on the occasion referred
to was melancholy. He was evidently
hurt by the reference in the DEMOCRAT
to that fifty thousand dollar suit. And
we felt too good natured over that cir
Cumstance to wish to do harm to the fel.
lows beautiful countenanCe; and we
soon saw he was not likely to harm ours.
Had he waited on the ground few min.
utes longer, the other defendant might
have accommodated him with round
or two. But we are better pleased that
nobody was hurt, Dun & Co.'S agent even
going away without scratch. We have
long since discovered that it takes at
least two to fight or raise row.
In certain other operations it takes at
least two, the shark and the victim.

ONCE permit the executive of this
country to make a police force of the
army at the polls, no matter under what
pretense, and our liberty is gone; free
elections are gone.
Of course excuses are easily found for
the entering wedge, but olc tablisb.
ed, the thing will go on as the neCessi'
ties of the President and his party re.
uuire. This necessity will be the only
measure of the use of the troops When
ever that necessity demands that un-
armed citizens shall be shot down, the
reason therefor will be readily found
Despotism in all ages is the same. When
Louis Napoleon in 1S49 was elected
President for skye Of the French Re-
public, and thus got command Of the
army, he soon got what he wanted
overthrow the Republic and made him
self Emperor.
What good reason, then, is there that
Mr.. Hayes should veto the bill taking
from the President the right to use the
army at the polls7 This repeal would
not deprive him Of the constitutional
right to suppress insurrection and repel
invasion. Why should he put on airs of
indignation at the repeal of these imam
GUS radical measures by CongressP If
his party were not in t1tremis, and if it
were not required by his stalwart party
leaders, he would not insist on continu.
ing this odious law-more odious than
tine Alien and Sedition laws of old Fed.
eralism.
There is no good reason for continuing
these laws. The necessities of the rad.
ical party are the only excuse. But for
the unwarrantable use of the army in
1875, the groundwork Of counting in Mr..
Hayes himself by fraud, could not have
been accomplished. The radical leaders
know that the people are largely against
them, and out of power they must go,
unless they can perpetuate their rule by
ChiCanery, force and fraud.

The issue is not "hard money" but as
to the kind of paper currency, whether
it shall be all Greenback or all National
bank. For our part, we prefer the Gov.
eminent shall issue the paper currency
direct, rather than to bandit over to Ma.
tional Banks to loan out. The latter
mode is the monopoly plan. We also
believe in silver; but, strange to say, the
self'styled "hard money" men are oppos.
ed to silver as we'll as to the Government
treasury note. They want National bank
paper alone.

MONOPOLY in every shape will come
to the aid OF Mr.. Foster, while the labor.
ing people will rally to Ewing. This is
the shape the thing is taking. Ewing
does not believe in running the Govern.
ment in the interest of the few-does
not believe in monopoly in the currency
medium or anything else; but fayors
justice and equal rights. Governments.
according to the Declaration of Indepen.
denee, are instituted among men to Sc.
cure citizens in their rights of person
and. property. This involves equality
before the law Foster is not there, but
Ewing Is.

The lcdicial election last week In Chi
cago resulted in a glorious Democratic
victory. In April the Republicans were
beaten about ave thousand, ex Congress-
man Harrison being elected Mayor, The
late campaign was begun by the Repub'
licans, proposing to run q non'partlsan
ticket, they taking three of the five jddg'
es. The offer was declined, and the con-
test began in good earnest. Both parties
nominated full tickets Of the same aver
age character and standing, renomlnal'
ing on each side two judges now on the
bench. The result Of the election shows
a sweeping Democratic victory, electing
the Supreme Court Judge and the six
Circuit Judges by majorities ranging
seven to fifteen thousand in the county The
maiorities of some of the Democratic
Judges in the city of Chicago are almost
stunning in their proportions. Judge
McAllister leads the highest OF the five
candidates on the Republican ticket, l3'

CAPT. s. s. BLACKBOARD of the Washing

he is out in a whining letter about the
terrible hardship this is to a one.armed
soldier like him. He does not say that
he has had good run, having occupied
the place for years that he also draws
good pension. The fact is, the Captain,
when he run for Sheriff in Stark county,
and'the county was Republican, was 80
unpopular as to be defeated. He has
regularly returned to do his voting in
Marlboro township, although he has not
lived there for many years, and has al.
ways been disagreeable, even to bis Re.

submit to the fates without whining.

place for him. Cannot Congressman
Mckinley recommend him2 The Ma.
jor has been taking good care of his
