Is responsible for that--not to the ten

Singer Manufacturing Company not
having been paid according to contract,
had the right to go upon any premises

commit an assault aud batteryf
Mrs. Kinsley says that after the
agent Trathen came in she sat upon
the sewing machine, and (in substance)
forbade its removal, that Woodward
took hold of her two hands and pulled
her away, at the same time directing
the agent to take the machine out of
the house, that, struggling, she and the
constable reached the door, he main
tanning his hold on her that she
touched the machine row loaded upon
the wagon by Trathen, was pulled off
by Woodward, thrown down, (or partly
so), struck, considerably hurt, and had
to keep her bed for some time after
wards. Her daughter testfies in sub
stantial accord with her mother The
defendants say that Mrs. Kinsley be-
gan the assault, struck the agent fierce

demonstration that she was going to
strike him with chair and did strike
the constable with it, and that
nothing more was done on their part
than TO protect themselves if their
version is correct, the second count is
scarcely made out against them or eth
er of them. But, il she had planted
herself on the machine, and they did
pull her off in order to get the machine,
they would be guilty of assault aud
battery if she made an attack upon
them, and hey did nothing more than
to g ard 'mselves, they would not be
guilty, b.. ng right to take the ma

II both these defendants participated
in the matter, they are both equally re-

the agent did nothing to encourage any
assault upon Mrs. Kinsley, did not as
sent tosany, then he is not guilty but
if the agent and constable went on
joint enterprise, intending, at all events,
to accomplish it, they are both equally
guilty or equally innocent, az you may
find the fact to be.
If you find the defendants, or either
of them, guilty of either offense charg.

to say about costs if you acquit both
the defendants on both counts, you will
impose costs upon the prosecutor,

either Of them, or upon the county, or
upon prosecutor and defendants in such
rates as you may deem fit.

The Republican National convention
will be held in Chicago June 3rd.

Here is something for our Republi-
can friends to put in their pipes and
smoke at their leisure at is we'll and
truly said by prominent journalist
that there is singular incongruity
tween the condition of the country aud
the condition of the United States treas
ury. The columns of the daily journals
are filed with accounts of business
failures, strikes, suspensions of manu-.
featuring operations and oppression iu
prices, at the same time that Uncle
Sans pockets are so crowded with
superhu u.us cash that he is obliged to
relieve by calling in the 8 per cent.
bonds which there is no necessity for
paying. 1t is apparent that the pinch
in the pockets of the people is aggra-
waited by the plethora in the vaults of
the treasury. This condition Of affairs
is not begotten of good administra-
ton"

The Same Old Dodge.

In every election which has taken
place since the Republican party has
come into power that party has had
two issues which it constantly pushed
to the front. One was the "bloody
shirt and the other the imperilled
''business interests Upon these two
strings it has been wont to play most
dreadful aud discordant music to the
ears of timid people. The scare on
"business interests" was intended to
reach the ears of the commercial and
industrial part of the people, and the
dreadful outrages at the South WAS
meant to paralyze the benevolent and
philantbropic people of the country,
whose delicate seusibilties could easily
be ioAamed by skilfully told stories OF
desperate assaults upon the molten
siye and harmless colored brother.
These familiar schemes are well known
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1883-12-21

to all the country, and as they were
thought to contain much food for the
stumper, and abound in fruitful texts
for the average editor, they have done
yeoman service in several campaigns.
But it has been noticed by observing
people that as soon az the election was
over the colored brother found no one
10 molest or make him afraid, and the
business concerns of the country gave
no evidences of the fearful danger
which they had escaped. This singu-
lar thing has doubtless caused some
remark and perhaps given rise to the
suspicion that after all these pictur-
esque accounts of Southern troubles
and impending commercial dangers
may have been only the visions of the
disordered fancies of Republican states
men, superinduced by dwelling too Sc
verely upon the possibility of losing
their patronage and their offices. Such
a danger to the mind of Republican
statesman might possibly produce a
disordered fancy and give rise to the
most fearful apprehensions. The loss
of position and power might possibly
present great uneasiuess 10 the mind of
those profiting by party domination.
and the most narrowing spectres might
rise to confront them, and through
them the country, in the event of par
ty disaster. But as no social upheav-
ais, no commercial disasters have fol-
lowed the narrow escape which the
country has made upon several recent
occasions when the Democracy were
very near obtaining the supreme pow.
er, it may be reasonably inferred that
perhaps all this racket is but the de-
vice of Republican politicians to save
themselves from danger. AT any rate
it is safe to receive all such narrowing
announcements with much allowance,
for these dreadful visitations seem
only to come with the return of the
presidential year. Iu sort of feeble
way this humbuggery is now again
sought to be tried on. The Republi-
can editor sees danger to the negro in
the defeat of Malone in Virginia, and
sees commercial calamities in the elec-
ton of Mr. Carlisle. Of course the
old plan won't work so we'll this time,
because the people are getting tired of
fleeing from Republican ghosts, but it
will try the old dodge the same. 1t is
but sorry attempt to save discour-
aged party from defeat, but as it is the
best they can do perhaps we ought not
ciiticise them too severely. 1t will be
the last lime they will ever use it, and
let them make the best of it.--Regis-
ter. ..

The Am,ericam Register published
at Washington, favors the tariff plank
of the Ohio Democracy Of last year, as
proper one to be incorporated in the
Democratic National platform of 1884
That plank is as follows
"We favor tariff for revenue limit
ed to the necessities of Government
economically administrated, and so ad-
justed in its application as to prevent
unequal burdens, encourage productive
industries at home and afford just COM
pensation to labor, but not to create or
foster monopolies.
The Register says
On this platform, Ohio, a Republi-
lican State, was redeemed from the
thraldom of pseudo Republican misrule.
The Democratic party of Virginia
adopted the same position on the tariff,
and on this position, Virginia won a
glorious victory, last fall, against the
coalition forces of black Republicanism
and Malone reputation.

A Chicago correspondent has learn
ed from sources of the highest auth =
rity that Gen Grant and wife have be
recently converted TO spiritualism in
its most pronounced form. The state
meut comes from two ladies, one of
whom has national reputation for
culture attainments and position il
socieiv. hiln the other is likewisr a
lady -, It prominence, publicly
iden'i 'h the advocacy of spirit
ualism, dud who is not only welcome
but the petted guest in some of the
finest of Gotham's palaces 1t is stated
that both Gen. and Mrs. Grant first be-
came interested in spiritualism and its
doctrines from beiH. present by invi-
tatiou at seances held in Fifth avenue
and Murray Hill mansions. From being
mere spectators they gradually deve
loped into investigators until they tinai-
ly found themselves in full accord with
followers of the spiritualistic school.
The unquestionable source from which
the information comes is also authority
for the additional statement that only
the fear of public ridicule prevents the
general from acknowledging and
championing his new found faith.

There were other savings, but they
are nearly balanced by items of unavoi-
dable increase, such as the payment of
military claims, expenses of special
commissions, &c,
The analysis just given however, is
quite sufficient to show that the great
retrehchment effected was achieved by
careful legislation and economical ad-
ministration. The vetoes Of Governor
Pattison were also potential in effect
ing this splendid result A saving of
nearly quarter of a million of dollars,
with the legislature in session eleven
months, makes record of which the
democrats of Pennsylvania may well
be proud and for which the taxpayers
of the commonwealth ought to be duly
thaukful.-Pdtriot.

How the Arthur Boom is Managed.

From the Washington Critic (Rep).
The conspiracy to nominate Arthur
thickens and assumes shape, and the
tactics employed are of the log-rolling
kind, the 81 tickle you and you tickle
me" species. 1t is an old game and
has sometimes won. The Republicans
of Indiana are to be made solid for Ar
thur by associating Postmaster Gener-
al Gresham's name for the second place.
The same result is to be achieved in
Illinois with Secretary Lincoln's. In
Ohio it is Foster who is to have second
place. An. 80 on through the cata-
logue of Republican States, always
seeking to select a popular man for
second place. The game will scarcely
win in 1884. One blast from Blaine 8
horn will knock down all the pins thus
set up. Then Logan may have some
thing to say about Illinois Harrison
concerning Indiana, and Sherman re-
gsrding Ohio. The country has
grown to- big and the people too
inteligen for such transparc Mt
game.
