Police Court.

yesterday his honor had . dry
day, notwithstanding the streets
were so muddy. The first case
called was q gentleman who had for
gotten he was not driving Maud s.,
and that the street was not the
Saratoga race track. He was gently
reminded of his Observation-Disclosures
by q written invitstlon to attend q
picnic to be held in the city court
room. over the festivities of which
the judge would preside. He con-
fessed his failing and his memory
was strengthened BY the application
of a $500 greenback plaster to an
aching void in the city pocket. This
Is a good step in the right direction.
Lives have been every day endan-
gered by reckless driving on the
streets and it is high time that those
who handle teams on the streets be
taught the lesson that business
thoroughfares are not training tracks.
A second case presented for the
consideration of his honor was that
of an inebriated individual who
wished to enter the prize ring, not
with hard gloves. but with brass
knuckles.
my dear FRIEND" remarked the
presiding officer, "listen to me, for I
have something of importance to say
to you. When you wear any kind
of metal upon your sun-burnt hand,
let it not be iron cuffs connected
with 3 chain of the same kind of
metal, nor yet let it be brass, for
brass is said to be poisonous when
rubbed against the flesh when the
cuticle is removed. If one must
wear brass, let it be worn in the face.
Brazen-faced individuals are some
times useful, just as adversity is.
Adversely, my friend"
"Your honor ?" remarked police
man, "may it please your honor that
man can't appreciate fine senti-
ments like them you are talking"
"Perhaps,' remarked the court,
"he can, then, appreciate my re-
marks if I remark $1,000 and costs.
The third case was that of q man
who shot q pistol within the city
limits the night before. The man
plead not guilty. lie put in the plea
that it was late at night and he had
to walk alone to the depot. The way
was dark and lonely, and perhaps in
tested with highwaymen. He had
taken out his pistol, and just as he
stopped to examine it and
see if it vas all right, for If a man
to use a pistol and it is not
all right he is in more danger than
If he had none.
Judge, that pistol went off itself.
I did not shoot it off, Judge. It
Just went of, and I did not know
anything about it. Judge, it scared
me as bad as it did anybody. That
Judge"
Hold on" said the Judge, "I'l
iust consider your case. I'll read up
n pistols, and if they have begun to
make pistols that go off as soon as
hey are taken out of the pocket and
without any enc firing them off you
shall he ci ,cliarged. Meantime, save
up some money. 1t is probable you

It a at times, necessary to COB
vince the most skeptical by means
of this peculiarly contracted
instrument, that at least some meat
was concealed in the soup. He also
states, upon oath, that Jerry sulli-
van was the time-keeper of the season,
and that he carried the sun time
all the way with him from St. Louis.
AS a genius in his profession, Hardy
claims that Jerry has no equal, for
he discovered, even in that remote
period, that the "eleven O'Clock"
wheel was missing from q lady's
watch and supplied it.

(september 4th) very d~isagreeable.

half Justice to the case. Surrounded

the many valuable and substantial
improvements about the premises.

PENSIONS.

The Democratic party not only threatens but
absolutely pledges itself to cut off the pensions
of Union soldiers! 1t said in a plank unques-
tionably dictated by the Southern members of
the convention: I'VE denounce the Republican
party for having failed to relieve the people from
crushing war taxes" And again:
'he system of direct taxation known as the inter.
nal revenue is a tax, and so long the law con
tnues the money derived therefrom should be sacred
ly devoted tho relief of the people from the remain
ing burdens of the war and be made fund to defray
the expense of the care and comfort of worthy sol
ders disabled in line of duty in the of the Re
public and for the payment of such pensions Con
u like fund for the sailors having been already pro
vided and any surplus should be paid into the Treas
ury.'
They favor paying pensions out Of the pro
ceeds of a tax whose existence they denounce.
The spirit of prophecy moves me and predict
in view of these words and the light of the past
that Democratic government will cease to pay
pensions to Union soldiers unless the South is
similarly provided for The first step will be
to pension Southern widows and orphans, who,
they will sentimentally urge, are innocent vic
tins of the late strife. That will probably pre-
vail and more will follow This threat and the
talk of crushing war taxes comes in bad grace
from the South. In 1878 the Republican States
paid fifteen sixteenths of the whole customs
revenue of the Nation. Between the years 1866
and 1878 s. 055, 391 S46 Is were collected as in
Confederate States paid $2Ol, 9O6 096 ia less
amount than that collected in the State of Ohio,

The Soier Bows.

Springfield is endeavoring TO stand up
under the degenerating Influences of a
military cncampment this week. The
old town is being shaken up in the live
liest kind of manner, as the BOYS are
running things with high hand. They
are eating cold beans, sleeping on straw,
tramping around in the hot sun all day,
and having a good time generally. The
Rodman Rifles are coming in for their
share of glory, of course, They carry the
flag, which is quite an honor in itself.
The encampment will break up tomor-
row
From the following it will be seen that
the boys have considerable difficulty get
ting down town nights:
The guard detail were given some lively
work last night after nine o'clock, by
some of the boys who had been down
town trying to pass the guards without
giving the countersign. Maj. Bracket,
anticipating this trouble, had stationed q
detail within the lines who were ordered
to lie down. The guard runners sue
ceeded in passing the guard lines without
much trouble but on getting inside they
were confronted by the extra line of men
Notwithstanding this, several sue
ceeded in getting through but were
arrested before passing brigade headquar,
tiers. One of these cases was Sergeant
Boyle Vance, Company H, Eighth Infant
ny, son of AdJutant General Vance. who
being good runner had passed all the
guards until opposite his fathers tent.
when Gen. Vance, running in front OF
him, laid his hand on the boys shoulder
and ordered him to halt. The general

Liquor.

Iowa, the state where temperance laws
grow on gooseberry bushes, is almost
submerged with woe. The saloon keep
ers are evading the law as much as posi-
BILE, and sell liquor under various assumed
names. This makes life a heavy burden
for the beer jerker to stand under. His
days are filled with suspense for fear the
authorities will step in and order the
drinks while he is out. If the bar keeper
does not size up" the crowd correctly,
and gives the red eyed minions of the law
the wrong bottle from which to squeeze
consolation, the saloon keeper had better
look around for straw stack in which to
dive. Each day the uncas mess increases
until now the saloon keepers probably
wish that they would be yanked into
prison at once to put an end to their
agony of mind. Here is what the Dav-
export Herald says about the situation:
More than month has now passed
since the prohibltOry liquor law went into
effect and all the river towns with the
exception of Davenport, have had re,
course to the courts in efforts to enforce
it, Many interior towns have also been
the scenes of turmoil and strife on this
account, but all has been serene in the
queen city of the state. 1t is vaguely
limited, however, that there will be some
fun here before many more moons. Peo-
pie interested in temperance movements
are said to have been quietly securing
evidence and one of these fine days it is
alleged there will be great shaking up
in certain quarters. The attack is calmly
awaited by those most interested

Pleasure.

People who plod cOntentedly along in
this world and choose to remain at home
and enjoy its comforts, rather than follow
the fashionable custom of hunting up
some summer resort, or who have no oc-
casion to travel, should visit the union
depot in the evening, and see the various
trains pull out with their loads of human
freight. 1t is a rare study of human ma
ture to watch this hurrying, bustling
throng, some finding their trains and max
ing themselves as comfortable as though
the trains were run for their especial ben
eft, while others, nOvices in travel, hurry
around in every direction and are always
in the way with their trunks and luggage.
Here you see portlY gentleman, clad in
the comfortable costume of an experience
ed traveller, stretching his limbs in a
promenade on the platform; young dudes,
fresh from New York or across the water,
eye the crowd with a blase condescen-
sion that betrays the ennui of travel;
mothers, with troop of children in short
Clothes follow the fortunes Of the hush and
and father; feeble old men and women
going to visit children who have found a
new home far from the old roof tree;
dapper young men and coquettish young
females, and last, and not least, the COM
mercial traveller, the lord of the road and
the ruling spirit of every train. 1t is a
great sight and is worth taking in.

For MRValana

Mr. D. Moriarty, an engineer on the c.,
R. & P. road, returned this morning
from trip to the mountains of Colorado
going as far west as Greymont, which is
81 miles the other side of Denver. He
was very much impressed with the coun-
try, and will go again when he gets va
cation. Coming home on the train last
night, MIR. Moriarty relates an incident,
which showed the drift of political opin-
ion. There was man on the train who
was proclaiming for Blaine in loud
voice. His clamorings became so noisy
some democrats in the coach where the
fellow held forth, suggested that vote
be taken, and see which candidate had the
most friends, There were forty gentle.
men in the car, and the ballot showed &c
for Cleveland, for Blaine and 2 fol-
Butler. The announcement of this vote
completely fioored the Blaine enthusiast,
who became disguised and left the train
at the next station.

alton as a candidate for congress in this

known something of him since the war.
always as brave soldier, and an honest,
upright man. With the soldier element
Capt. T.,-who left leg on the battle
field, would be an exceptionally strong
candidate; the old 36th, in which he was
very popular, is well represented in the
district, and the boys would be glad of
the chance to honor their old comrade
and commander by earnest work and
willing votes. That he is eminently
well qualified for the position none who
know him will deny, and the district could
do much worse than to send he to repre-
sent its intereste in Congress .--AIedC

Keen the Peace.

Patrick Conwell has been making life a
bowling misery for his wife, Mary Com
well, at least so she AYERS. Instead of
cherisbing, protecting ETC., Patrick has
been abusing her, and every little while
he would give her beating. Patrick was
uglier than ever yesterday, and she had
him taken before Squire Cooke, who
fined him SO and costs, and bound him
over to keep the peace for twelve months.
Patrick will now have to find some one
else upon whom to use his pug ilistic
antics.
