the action Of the Deinoctatic Legislature

uualtsnbly In favor Of an amendment

"ThC Legislature know what the liquor

inclined TO disregard our wishes, we are q
little indifferent about the result"
"What would be your course were the

It had been said General Grant was
poor, that there was nothing between him
and the poor house, except the income
from $S5O, 900, and It had been circulated
around by his family that the $50. 900 was
substantially lost. That was not true.
There was another critical circumstance
to which he called attention. Congress,
BY solemn act, was asked to arrest the
progress Of the investigation into that con-

Change of Venue,

George Robertson, a prominent
young attorney of Mexico, was in
the city yesterday OF legal business.
He was accompanied by his client,
James Dowell. Mr.. Dowell has
brought suit against the Democratic
central committee of Audrain county
for $4,000, and the case was changed
to this county. During the celebra-
ton Of the election of Cleveland and
Hendricks ct Mexico last fall a sky
rocket was fired by direction of the
committee, and 1t accidentally struck
Mr.. Dowell in the eye, destroying
the sight of the optic. Hon. Champ
Clark, of this city, has been employed
in the case by the defendants. 1t
will come up at the September term.

The New School Law.

From the Lexington Inteilisencer-
The last general assembly made
material changes in the laws govern
ing public schools. The school year
now begins ON July 1st and ends
with the close of the ensuing June,
and the reports of the district clerks
must embrace receipts and disburse-
ments during this period, the receipts
to be classified a to public and dis
trict funds, the expenditures appor-
toned to the respective departments,
accompanied with a statement of the
balances to the credit of the respect
i've districts at the commencement
and close of each year. The presi-
dents are required, precedent to the
payment of any orders, to record
their names with the county treasur-
er, and no interest-bearing orders can
issue, and they can be altered,
without a knowledge on the part OF
the proper officers, that adequate
funds are in the treasury for the pay
ment of the same. The apportion-
ment of public funds hitherto made,
of county in February, and of state
in April, will occur, under the pro-
visions Of the present law, in August,
and the distribution of such funds,
accrulng since the appointments of
February and April last, will be made
during the current month, and will
be, for the state fund, IL cents for
each enumerated pupil, and fol-
county fund 33a cents for same, and
this will be augmented by the assign
ment of any accumulated interest in
such districts as have available funds.
1t will be observed that after this
apportionment is made, no further
receipts will be derived, from public
sources, until August 1886, and the
districts meanwhile must depend
solely on means derived from district
taxation. The respective school dis
tricts should be governed as to ex.
p%enditures in accordance with the
above presentation of facts.

Mr.. Beecher said the other da

Mr.. Beecher said the other day:
81 tell you Cleveland is acting beau
tifully, beautifully! If the Demo
cratic party manages to rise to the
level of Grover Cleveland / will be
content to go with it. If it docs not,
then I go with Grover Cleveland.
There is no disappointment in that
man." 1t is only Mr.. Beecher's
somewhat natural prejudice against
the Democratic party that makes him
doubt at all that it will rise to the
level of its president. 1t is already
there, or rather has been all the time,
despite the republican disappoint-
ment at finding out that they misrep-
resented it when they accused it OF
being an organized appetite. The
never-appeased organized appetite
went out of power last March.

City IS booming. Everybody is
happy. Reason-a new depot, a
very nice one, thanks to the railroad
company, and will be open to travel
ers in about two weeks.
There was 4 croquet party at the
residence of Mr.. Charles Gray last
evening. Miss Lucy Gray and Miss
Rice carried off the honors as the
best players.
William Callahan returned from
Illinois on Saturday where he went to
visit his brother. Bill is captain of
our base ball club, and he is a dandy.
John Morley moved into his new
house last week. We wish him and
his bride many happy days.
The Benton base ball club played
a match game of ball with the Sham
rocks of Rush Hill on Saturday,

There has come to Jul notice q
very distressing case. 1t shows the
difference between woman's love and
mans perfdy. Three month ago a
young lady and gentleman came to
this city and engaged board and
represented themselves as man and
wife. Everything went along all
right until three days ago when the
young lady became a mother, and
the young man is non est, and the
young lady without means of support
and away from home. Had it not been
for the kind ladies here she would have
died. 1t is said the father of the
girl is after the young man with a shot
gun. Hope he will catch him. If he
ever shows up in Benton he will get
a dose of tar and feathers.
DR.. Holly is kept very busy at
present, running night and day.

Mr.. J. II. Shoots is about to build
a new three story house. Since the

building. We think we will build.
Jim Dowell shipped two a loads
of stock east last Monday. jim
knows the difference between q

Amusement Over the Swearing in Of
the New Ministers-The Bradlaugh
Incident.
to THE EVENING STAR,

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, July THE house found much
amusement last night i'm the ceremony of
swearing i'm the new ministers. The chancellor
of the eXchequer's reception was entirely
dwarfed by the cheers which greeted Gladstone,
who entered at the same moment. Lord Ram
dolph Churchill succeeded admirably in assum-
ing the air of an experienced minister He had
a warm reception. Ashmead Bartlett was well
coined with roar of mingled cheers, misses and
derisive shouts. After the scenes Of the past
few months it makes one feel left-handed to see
Gladstone on the other side of the speaker.
Bradlaugh entered, dressed like a clergyman.
The scene then enacted was identical with
those which have already disgraced the annals
of the English parliament. He was beaten by
coalition of tories and Parnelltes and tie ab-
Stention of q number OF Sanctimonous liberals
who oppose him partly because il is their policy
now TO support the tories and partly because he
voted for the arms act They overlook the fact
that il WAS he who moved the rejection of the
crimes act. After the vote Bradlaugh expressed
himself satisfied as having gained point IL
Is difficult to see how, except that every time
this iniquity is re-enacted, there is a better
chance for the popular conscience to be
aroused.

noisy tamborines, cheering and shouting. As
the prisoners were being taken into the maeis-

gathered, who with cheers, misses and groapa
made it almost impossible to conduct the pro-
ceedngs. After hearing the burgess
announced that he would impose fine of 81
and costs on each person, and would continue
to do so until they abandoned their parades
through the streets. The salvationists sternly
refused TO pay their fines and were committed
To the county Jail for five days. They arrived
here soon after midnight last night, and wex
at once taken TO prison. Each of the prisoner
was consigned TO q separate cell.

LONDON, July T.-The center of interest Is
now transferred from the commons To the lords,
with the union of the offices of prime minister
and foreign secretary there in the position OF
Lord Salisbury. The speech of the latter shows
that the conservatives have nothing TO do but
TO carry out the policy they have been denounc-
ing for SO long a time as everything that is bad
and ruinous; but their announcement TO drop
coercion in Ireland will evoke organized oppo-
sition from their own side. Wilfred Lawson
has already announced a vote of want OF conf
dence on the part OF the radicals. the intention
being To give the tories a taste of the same life
OF constant Irritation, anxiety and wrangle as
they gave the liberals. He will not be much
supported by the liberals as body. The differ
ence between liberal and tory opposition Is
shown by the fact that the progress OF the sup
ply bill last night was almost Unprecedented in
than has been expected. Lord salisbury men
