A Gallant Goose.

On a small farm over the river, now
overhowed and surrounded by water,
a raccoon, driven to desperation and
the last knoll of dry land by the food,
attacked on evening before last a flock
of tame geese, hoping to sltisfy pinch
ing hunger. The bir was young, but
strong and lusty. He made a gallant
fight, and though all other geese of
his tribe fed the s,ere, he vanquished
the coon, a serious wound in the neck
being his only hurt. The next morn
ing the coon came again, butthc whole
flock made active warfare at once,
and soon drove the animal out Of sight.
The victorious goose is now classed as
a great hero in goose society.

GERMANS FOR HANCOCK.

THE GERMAN INDEPENDENT CITIZENS
ASSOCIATION ISSUES AN ADDRESS.
A meeting of the German-A merican
Central Hancock and English Cam
paign Club was held last evening in
Beethoven Hall, over which Mr.. Nehr.
bas presided. A committee was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for a
mass meeting to be held on the 10th
inst. at Cooper Union. Among those
who have promised to be present and
deliver addresses are Joseph Pulitzer,
Col. F. Raine of Baltimore, DIR. kell-
ner of Philadelphia, and Judge Strallo
of Cincinnati, Ohio. Gen. Franz Sigel
has been invited to speak, but is at
present unable to say whether he can
be present.
the city of New York was read and
adopted. 1t opens by impressing up
on the Germans the Importance of the
questions which will be presented for
discussion during the Presidential
campaign, and calls upon every voter
to individually use his influence to
overthrow that Government, which,
during nearly twenty years of admin
lstration, has displayed an insufierablc
amount of corruption and gigantic
frauds upon the public treasury. The
address then passes in scathing review
on tho conduct of Gen. Garfield for
many years while public officer, and
openly charges him with dishonesty
and bad faith. "ro elect Garfield, :"
it says, "would be tantamount to u
declaration thai purity Of character,
honesty and uprightness, are not pre-
re luisities of The President of the Re
public, that man who has abused one
othcial position, and whose vote, as
representative Of the people, was in
! the market for a few thousand dollars,
is still worthy of occupying the high
est office to be obtained by the people S
vote. The election Of Garfield would
be disgrace to the American Repub-
lie, a degradation to the friends of Re-
publican liberty throughout The world.
To combat the election of Garfield with
all legal means is the duty of every
true friend of the Republic"
The address concludes with a stir
ring appeal to the German voters t1
rally round Hancock and English and
vote for hem to a unit.

Now and Ihen.


Whatever Radicals may urge to the
contrary, claiming credit for the re-
suits of their own rule, the statement
from Washington of the receipts and
expenditures for 1S75-Grant's admin
istration--shows how beneficial has
been the effect of Democratic Con
gress on the domestic policy of the
Government.
Take first the receipts: For 1875,
under Grant, the receipts of Customs
were S157, 1877, 722 under Hayes they
were $1S6, 522, 064-an increase OF
$29, ,354, 342. In 1875 the Internal
Revenue receipts were $110,007, 493 ;
in 1880 they were 1924, 900, 373-an in
crease of $4,000, $50. In 1879 the
total revenues from all sources were
1894, 02O, III in 1880 they were 1888,
526, ,610-an increase of $40 ,5O5, $50.
Now take the expenditures In
1875 the War Department cost $41,-
100. GAS in 1880, under Hayes, it cost
S3S. 91G-a decrease of 3,003, 729.
In 1875 the Navy cost $21, ,497, 62G in
1880 it cost $13, ,536, 9S4-a decrease of
81. 960,642 In 1875 the Indian Bu-
reau cost $S, 3S4, $50 +; in 1880 it cost
s., 945, ,457-a decrease of So, 430 ,209,
In 1875 the total expenditures were
$27S, 693 ,573, and in 1880 they were
$267, Ga, ,0j9-a deere Sc of SO, 050, ,614.
This decrease in the total expenditures
would have been much larger but for
the increase in pension payments in
1880 over those in lS75-the only item
in which there was an increase. In
1875 the pension payments were
500, ,456, 216 ; in 1880 they were $685.
M, ,174-an increase of $27, 320, 95S-
a most significant fact, since it shows
that while Democratic Congress has
cut down the expenditures in all other
branches of the public service, it has
increased the pension payment to the
Union soldiers of the war.
The comparison here made is between
year Of Grants administration and
year of IIayes's. But it must be remem-
bered that while there was a Republican
Congress under Grant their is Demo-
cratic Congress Under Hayes-so that
the comparison is really between Re
publican and a Democraic Congress
which made the appropriation.
The Republicans are constantly re-
minding us OF the large reductions of the
public debt made under the Hayes Ad-
ministration; but the credit of these re-
ductions is due to the Democratic Con-
crosses, under whose wise policy taxes
and expenditures have been reduced,an
still the revenues so largely increased as
to leave a large annual surplus to de
vote to the payment Of the nations debt.
To sum up: Under the policy adopted
by Democratic Congresses tue rate of
Internal Revenue lakes has been re
duced; the total revenues have been in
creased; the pension payments to Union
soldiers and their families have been
augmented-aud yet there has been
reduction in the gross annual expcndI-
turcs of $j,05O, 900.
How will it be at the time Of the next
comparative returns will all departments
of the Government in Democratic CON
trol-wilh an Executive, a Cabinet,
Senate aud House of Representatives
to give effect TO the popu'ar will and
promote the nations interests?-N Y.
