An Argument In Rhyme.
The Remarkable Svmalnn Up that A0uood
Jury Ia BrooGlyR CsuH

The suit of Mrs. Bridget Rowan
against Charles W. Bedell, for
5000 damages for assault, was
tried before Chief Judge Nelson, in
the Brooklyn city court, on Wed.
nesday. Mrs. Rowan alledged that
on July 81 last, rs she was passing
along the street near Prospect park
carrying a pail containing her bns:

as bruised and otherwise injured
also, that Bedell used abusive lao.
guage towards heS and set dog
upou her. which it hets aud tore

Bedell Put in a general denial Of
the complaint.
The trial was very amusing. The
defense alleged that Mrs. Rowan
plagued and provoked the dog. To
show that the animal could not he
very dangerous, they proved By
careful measurements that il was
only four inches tall and ten inches
long, and averred that it's age was
six months. One witness testified
that the dog WIS whipped and put
to fligh, every day by family cat.
In summing ny for Mrs. Rowan,
Mr.. Mirabeau +. Towns said that a.

however, that because he put it in
rhyme it was destitute of reason.
On the contrary, he claimed that
his client had every reason to ex.

following, while Judge Nelson aha
ded his face, and seemed heartily
to enjoy the fun:
In july last, abont the time
That hungry mortals like to dine,
The plaintiff, being "A prudent woman,

GENERAL PRESS REVIEW.
Cutting Down the Expenses.
st. Louis Republican.

The Boston Advertiser, in an attempt to
disparage the marked retrenchment in t he
public expenditures effected by Democratic
congresses, says: "The lowest point to which
the Democrats reduced expenditures was
only $30,0O0,000 below the point where they
were left by the Republicans" "Only $780,
100000 saved is very considerable item,
and no amount of pretended derision of the
Republican side can lesson its Importance in
the eyes of tho people who get the benefit of
the saving. But the Boston paper says the
declaration in the Democratic national plat
form that congress has reduced the expendi-
lures of the government forty millions a
year "is falsehood." Let us soc. The total
net expenditures for the year 1874, under
Grant, excluding interest and pensions, were
$l65,000,000; the total net ordinary expendi-
lures for the year 1880 were $ll5, 100000;
so that we have here reduction not
of forty millions, but of fifty millions
It is true the Democratic congress has
been little extravagant in the matter of
pensions to surviving union soldiers and the
families of deceased ones. In 1874, under
Grant, the pension payments were $4,000
600, aud in 1880 thev were over $4,000 :,
an increase of S27 100000. But the DeA4o-
cratic party can we'll afford to go before the
country on this liberality to the defenders of
the union. Its policy was, not to cut down
pensions to manned and disabled soldiers, but
10 cut down those expenditure. that repre-
sent the real cost of the government-the ex.
penses of the war department, the navy de-
partment, the department of Justice and the
Indian bureau-and this the Republi,
cans themselves are forced to acknowledge
has been done.

instead of having any orators to spare in tie
south, the party has hardly orators enough
to 20 around in Indiana between now and
election day. The brilliant rhetoric of SUM
ner, the shrewd persuasion of Chandler, the
clear analysis of Morton and the fierce en-
ergy of old Thad. Stevens have not been re-
placed. The orators of the Republican party
are mere handful, and while it might be
well, by way Of experiment, to test the que2-
ton as to whether the south is yet ready for
free speech, there is much to be done, with
scant time to do it, in the states which are
the battle fields of this national campaign.

Centralism Gush,


In recent speech Mr.. Stanley Matthews,
Of Ohio, sem-deceased politician who has
shaken off his mold and entered himself for
the senatorship which Mr.. Garfield may be
called upon to surrender, expressed this stall
wart sentiment:
"rll tell you Just how strong want gov
eminent to be. If in the darkest corner of
the south there is poor man who is citizen
of the United States, and another man, on
any pretense, unlawfully deprives him of any
of his rights. would provide the govern
ment with arms long enough and strong
enough to lay out its shield over his defense
less head, and to drag bis prosecutors to JUS
tice, to punishment, and, if necessary, to
DEATH"
That sounds very pretty and it would work
beautifully so long as Mr. Matthews party
controlled the national government and
could do the reaching ont and dragging.
But the time might come when the law
breaker might be of Mr.. Matthews
political household and the power at Wash
ington might be one that failed TO meet his
approval. Then the far-reaching style of
government would not be considered whole
some. Mr.. Matthews should tell US what
the national government can do in the way
of kt eping the peace that the local govern
ment cannot do? Shall we overthrow the
means of peace, the trial by jury, all the
Anglo.Saxon guards of human rights? If
We do not, we still come back to the law of
the vicinage, whether the national Or state
government reaches out its arm. And it is
much safer TO the local government in the
long run. 1t knows the people better. 1t
throws the responsibility on the people
themselves. A concentrated government,
whatever its name, is inimical to liberty.
Local seif.government is the very jewel of
our institutions, to be defended to the last

Important Announcement.

As some of the dealers in the Home Sana-
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it MS medicine, and free from q
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case Gently decided in the
county court ofEllis c. lnty, at Waxahachie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that tho Home
Sanative Cordial was y compound tincture
of calsaya and iron. The jury pronounced
it a real medicine, and declared the defend
ant not guilty. 1t is thus medicine in the

A Depot Mystorloasly Blown Up.

DENVER CoL., Aug 14.-A special to the
Times from Como gives brief account of an
explosion which occurred ut Red Hill, small
station on the South Park road, last night
At about ~ O'clock a fire broke out in the
depot and caused the explosion of 1000 pounds
of powder, which blew tho depot aud every
building in the place TO atoms, Frhe agent, f.
E. Colycr, was badly cut and burned, aud is
not expected to 1.-Two. His assistant, Charley
Hilton, was killed. aud two other mOu were
badly injured.
Further particulars of the explosion at Rcd
Hill last night are to the effect that Frank Il,
Collyer, agent, Il. j. Conway, assistant agent,
and Charles Glenn, Il freighter were sitting
in the depot, waiting for down train, when
the explosion occurred. When tho Fair Play
coach reached the scene OF the disaster, soon
