THE COLUMBIAN. 0. E. Elwall, 1 t,.u. J. H. mtt3nl!sal5r.,r E4"6"' BLOOMSBUKG, PA, FRIDAY, DECEMHER 21, 1883. Tho Republican National convention will bo hold in Chicago Juno 3rd. Here is Bomothing for our Republi can friondA to put in their pipes ami Binokot tlioir leisure : "It la well nnd truly sald by a prominent journalist that thcru is a singular incongruity l twecn tho condition of tho country and tho condition of tho United States traas ury. Tho columns of tho daily journals aro filled with accounts Of businojs failures, strikes, suspensions of manu facturing operations and oppression in prices, at tho eamo timo that Uncle Sam's pockets aro so crowded with supcrllu m :ih that he Is obliged to rohove by calling in tho 3 per cent, bond which there is no necessity for jnylng. It is apparent that the pinch in tho pockets of tho people is aggra vated by tho plethor.i in tho vaults of tho treasury. This condition of affairs is not begotten of good administra tion." Governor Pattisou proposes to know what is dono with the public funds, lie recently sent the following com munication to tho Auditor General : iron. John A. Lemon, Auditor General, Dear JSir : Please furnish tho oxecutivo department at your ear liest convenience with an itemized statement of tho expenditures of the contingent fundi of the senato and houso of representnui ;s at tho late ex traordinary session oi tho peneral as sembly, showing the names of tho per sons to whom the monoys of said funds have been paid, together with tho amount paid to each. Also a state ment containing tho names of all ofli cers and employes, including tho pages of tho houso and senate, to whom mon eys have been paid for services during tho said session, together with the amount' paid to each. Yours very respectfully, RoniinxE. Pattiso.v, Governor. Tho American Register published at Washington, favors tno tariff plank of tho Ohio Democracy of last year, as a proper one to be incorporated in tho Democratic National platform of 1881. That plank is as follows ; "We favor a tariff for revenue limit ed to tho necessities of Government economically administrated, and so ad justed in its application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourago 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 Ropubli lican State; was redeemed from the thraldom of pseudo-Republican misrule. The Democratic party of Virginia adopted the same position on tho tariff, and on this 2'osition, Virginia won a glorious victory, last fall, against tho coalition forces of black Republicanism and Mahouo repudiation. A Chicago correspondent has learn ed from sources of the highest auth rity that Gen. Grant and wife have bo' recently converted to spiritualism in its most pronounced form. Tho state ment comes from two ladies one of whom has a national reputation for cnltuie iittiinoifiits and position in soci'iiv. hiiu tho other is likewise a lady t i. a prominence, publicly idenii.. i tho ad voeauy of spirit ualism, and v. Uo is not only welcome but the pelted guest in some of the finest of Gotham's palaces. It is stated that both Gen. and Mrs. Grant first be came interested in spiritualism and its doctrines irom bei' present by invi tation at seances held in Fifth avenue and Murray Hill mansions. From being mere spectators they gradually devo loped into investigators until they final ly found themselves in full accord with followers of the spiritualistic school. The unquestionable soutee from which the information comes is also authority for tho additional statement that only tha fear of public ridicule prevents tho general from acknowledging and championing his new found faith. Our Congressman, Hon. John 15. Storm has introduced the following bills in tho House. To provide lor tho issue of circula tion to National banking associations. To repeal tho internal revenue laws, and to abolish all taxes and offices cre ated by them. For tho retirement of trade dollars from circulation. To repeal chapter 10, title 35, of tho Revised Statutes of 1878, relating to legacies and successions. To repair tho monument over tho grave of Benjamin A. Bidlack, lato charge d'affaires of tho United States to tho Republic of New Granada, now tho United States of Colombia, and making appropriations therefor. For tho relief of Henry II. Wood. For the relief of Charles Edwards. Granting a pension to .Mrs, Cornelia J. Schoonover. Tho petition of Anna Dengler and others, of Columbia County, Pennsyl vania, for the establishment of indus trial training schools iu Alaska Also, the petition of Rev. D. M. Hen kel and others, of Catawissa -, of Ger trudo Edgar and others, of Espy, of II. J. Connor and others, citizens of Or angeville, Columbia County ; of 217 citizens of Danville, Montour County, and nino petitions sitmed bv 700 citi zens of Bloomsburg nnd vicinity, in tho State of Pennsylvania, praying for tho passage of a law providing for a civil government in Alaska witli suitable provisions for tho promotion of the educational and industrial interests of that Territory. A Weak Invention. From tho Lancaster Jntelllirencer.

Tho republican press devoted col umns of double-leaded articles filled with doublcd-and-t'vistcd arithmetical falsehoods, to disprove tho statements inado in these columns during tho ro cent political canvass concerning tho saving in tho expenditures of the state government by a democratic adminis tration and democratio houo of repre sentatives. It will be remembered that tho J'atriot assorted that tho expen ditures of the state govornmont, includ ing tho cost of tho special session of tho legislature, for tho fiscal year end ing November 30, 1883, would lie con siderably less than tho expenditures of stato government in 1881, tho lAst pre ceding year in which the legislature was in session. This assertion was laughed to scorn by tho republican journals although they were utterly unablo to disprove it. Hut tho final and complete triumph of tho J'atriot in this contention is now at hand Tho statement of tho Auditor Gener al's otlice giving the expenditnres of tho stato government for tho fiscal year just closed furnishes a complete and overwhelming vindication of our as sertion. It proves that tho expendi tures of tho stato government for tho fiscal year just ended, including tho cost of tho special session of tho legis lature, were less than the expenditures of the state government for the Jiscal year ending November 31), 1881. For tho proofs let us have rooourso to tho official figures. Tho total ex penditures of tho stato government for tho t.vo years in comparison were : in test., lulBtl .... $7,184,420 49 ... 8,733,877 fit Less In 18J1 than lnlfWl 11,483,513 87 The reader is referred to tho Audi tor General's Report for 1881, pago 134, and tho same document for. 1882, p.igo 150, for tho items which mako up tho gross sum of tho expenditures for 1881. In the Auditor General's Report for 1891 tha total expenditures for that yo.ir are set down as 0,926,810.20, but it will be lcmembered that tho sal aries of members of legislature wore paid only in part during that ye3r, tho right of tho members to their per diem for tho fifty days of the session follow ing the first 100 days having been liti gated iu tho courts and a final decision rendered in thoir favor during tho fis cal year 1882. Henco their salaries for fifty days, aggregating$197,G10.29, were not paid until 1882. This amount of course belongs to tho expenditures of 1881 and when added to tho total giVen in tho Auditor General's report for 1881, as above stated, makes the real total of the expenditures for that year S7,124,120.17. The total expenditures for 18S3 are set down in tho statement of tho Audi tor General just Riven to tho press, at SG.708.090.22. Hut of thas sum S9G9, 812.50 were paid out in tho purchase of United States bonds and cannot bo regarded as "expenditures,'' for tho purchase of the bonds was simply an exchange of non-productivo assets for others producing interest. A. any rate it cannot bo coiisideied under tho head of "expenditures'' in making a compa rison with 1881, for during that year no United Slates bonds woro purchas ed. We therefore deduct 3969.812,50 from tho alleged total of expenditures for 1883, and find tho true total to bo 5,735,877.02, as above exhibit ed. Hut there aro also credits or allowan ces to go to tho ledger for 1831 as fol lows : Excess or Interest on loans In 1831 over satno In 1883 263,809 07 Excess of cschea s in 1881 over In 1883. 4,530 4 1 Excess ot moneys paid to cora.uon schools in 18 1 over 1883 . . . . 615,891 S4 Excess of iieiuii nj und gratuities t.-.i . in 1881 over .83 4,405 61 Total J88S,037 05 Subtracting this total from tho sum found above as tho decrease iu expen ditures in 1883 as compared with 1881, us follows : Apparent decrease ... Allowances, as nbovo. .. fl, 488,543 87 888,037 05 Wohevo 1600,505 B3 Thus 8600,505.83 would remain as the actual decrease of expenditures in 1883 as compared with 1881. liut 18S3 is to bo credited with tho redemp tion of loans and tho payment of pre miums on loans redeemed to the extent of 105,380.15 in excess of payments on the same accounts in 1881. This brings up to 705,891.98 tho actual decrease in 1883 iu all expenditures of the government absolutely under the control of tho legislative and executive departments as compared with the same in 1881. The oxpenso of the special session of tho legislature jusi ended was about 5j5UO,OUU. .Deduct this amount from S705.801.98 and $205,891.98 remains as tho net actual gain for the people under a democratic administration of the government dur ing tho past cloven months. This is very closo to tho figure at which the J'atriot estimated tho saving during tho lato political canvass. How was this saving effected T Tho principal items in which retrenchment was mado are as follows: Public printing and binding M10.328 40 Public buildings and grounds 9,799 0 ' stationery and supplies 8,891 00 Advertising 0,343 37 Expenses ot tho two houses of tho legis lature for regular session 77,831 90 Charitable Institutions 219,3-U 69 Penitentiaries, etc 63,530 50 Houso of refuge, Philadelphia., 11,375 CO Agricultural college... 4),00O 00 Under head ot 'Miscellaneous'' S9,lll 61 There wero other sayings, but thoy are nearly balanced by items of unavoi dable increase, such us the payment of military claims, expenses of Bpecial commissions, &o. The analysis just given however, is quito sufficient to show that tho great retrenchment effected was achieved by careful legislation and economical ad ministration, Tho vetoes of Governor Pattisou wero also potential in effect ing this splendid result. A saving of nearly a quarter of a million of dollars, with tho legislature in session eleven months, makes a record of which the lemocrats of Pennsylvania may well bo proud and for which tho taxpayers of tho commonwealth ought to be duly thankful. J'atriot. The Same Old Dodge. In every election which has taken place since tho Republican party has come into power that party has had two Issues which it constantly pushed to tho front. Ouo was tho "bloody shirt and tho other tho imperilled "business interests " Upon these two strings it has been wont to play most dreadful anil discordant inusio to the uars of timid people. Tho scare on "business interests'' was intended to reach tho cars of tho commercial and Industrial part of tho people, and the dreadful outrages at tho South wus meant tn naralvzo tho benevolent and philanthropic people of tho country, svhoso dplieato sensibilities could e-islfv bo intlamed by skilfully told stories of dospersto ass.iuns upon mu inoueii ivo nml harmless colored brothor. Those familiar schemes aro well known THE COLUMBIAN AND to nil the country, nnd ns they woro thought to contain much food for tho stumper, nnd abound in fruitful texts for tho averago editor, thoy have dono yeoman scrvico in several campaigns. Hut it has been noticed by observing people that as poon as tho election was over tho colored brother found no ono to molest or mako him afraid, and tho business concerns of the country gave no evidences of tho fearful danger which thoy had escaped. This singu lar thing has doubtless caused so tno remark nnd perhaps given riso to tho suspicion that after nil these pictur csqiio accounts of Southern troubles and impending commercial dangers may have been only tho visions of tho disordered fancies of Republican states men, superinduced by dwelling too se verely upon tho possibility of losing their patronago mid their offices. Such a danger to the mind of a Republican statesman might possibly produco n disordered fancy nndgivoiiso to tho most fearful apprehensions. Tho loss of position and power might possibly present great uneasiness to the mind of those profiling by party domination, and tho most harrowing spectres might rise to confront them, nnd through them the country, in tho event of par ty disaster. But ns no social upheav als, no commercial disasters have fol lowed tho narrow escape which the country has mado upon several recent occasions when tho Democracy were very near obtaining tho supremo pow er, it may bo reasonably inferrod that perhaps all this racket is but tho do vico of Republican politicians to save themselves from danger. At any rate it is safe to receive all such harrowing announcements with much allowance, for these dreadful visitations seem only to come with tho return of tho presidential year. Iu a sort of feeble way this humbuggery is now again ! sought to be tried on. Tho Republi can editor sees danger to tho negro in tho defeat of Mahoue in Virginia, and sees commercial calamities in tho elec tion of Mr. Carlisle. Of courso tho old plan won't work so well this time, because the peoplo aro getting tired of fleeing from Republican ghosts, but it Will try tho old dodge tho same. It is but a sorry attempt to savo a discour aged party from defeat, but as it is the best thoy can do perhaps wo ought not ciiticiso them too severely. It will be tho last timo thoy will ever uso it, and let them mako tho best of it. Regis ter. Sewing Machine leases, COMMONWEALTH VS. M. C. WOOPWAKD AND J. B. TUAT11KW. Tried at JJloomsburg, Dec. 4, 1883. C11AHOE OK THE COURT. Gentlemen of the jury. This is a question between the commonwealth and tho defendants charged in tho in dictment with two offenses alleged to have been committed nt tho same time forcible entry upon property in the possession of' James Kinsley and as sault and battery upon Margaret Kins ley his wife. The constitution declares that per sons shall not bo subject to unreason able searches, or to seaiches without warrant that officers shall not go into dwelling houses and ransack through them, without authority of law. If one claiming to own land in pos session of another turns him out by force and arms, with a strong hand, with a multitude, with weapons or threats, in a word with violence, his of sence against tho peace is called forci ble entry ; if ho keeps the possession thus obtained, preventing the return of tho former occupant, his offense is for ciblo entry and detainer. A forcible entry must bo with menace to life or limb, or accompanied by some act of violence or circumstances calculated to inspire fear. One may make a forcible entry by breaking open tho door of a dwelling house, whether any person be in at tho time or not, or by any act of outrage upon entering. This is a high crime punishable with a heavy lino and with imprisonment. Tho indictment charges such an entry upon a certain lot of land (described by metes and bounds) "by raising tho catob,'' &u. The commonwealth' testimony as to the entry is that Woodward, ono of the defendants, knocked at the door, that Mrs. Kinsley opened the door far enough to see who tvas there and for badu him to corao in, but that Wood ward pushed past her, went in, and took a seat ; and it is argued by coun sel for tho commonwealth that "tho de fendants thrust themselves in, deter mined to gain admission at all hazards; on the other hand, that thero was noth ing disorderly or unusual about it, tho lestimony oeing mai wooawam was bid "come in" by Mrs. Kinsley, Thero was no breaking of a door : nt most, it is alleged that Mrs. Kinsley, kuowing Mr. Woodward was a eonBtablo and suspecting his errand, resisted his com ing in. Was there anything like a threat,-ncythiug to alarm Mrs. Kinsley! Ono man personally known to her ob tains .entranoo into tho house. I call your attention to' the facts as testified to by Mrs. Kinsley and her daughter Margaret, on tho ono side, and by Mr. Woodward on the other, in reference to the mode of his getting admission : if you aro satisfied thatthcro was noth ing calculated to alarm in manner of ontranco, it could hardly bo called a forcible entry if thero was, it might bo. A second count in this indictment charges the defendants with an assault and battery upon tho poison of Mrs. Margaret Kinsley. The history of this wholo transaction appears to bo about this : On tho 14th of May, 1881, an ngent of tho Singer Mnnufacturing Company rando nn nr rnngement with James Kinsley in re spect to a sewing maohino valued at tho sum of fifty dollars. A lease was made, by which Kinsloy agreed to pay tho sum of three dollars a month on tho 14th day of every month after the date of this instrument for tho uso nnd hire of the machine, Thero is nothing wrong iu leasing a sowing machine any moro than in leasing any other item of property ! if tho bargain was fairly made, the lessor would contiuue to bo the owner, and, if he agrees that, when ho has received by way of rent a certain sum of money, lie will transfer ttiu title, that is not .an uncouscionablo agreement i all that tho person who acquires the possession of the jnoporty has to do is to pay his rent, and ho be comes the owner j if he fail to do that, thou his rights are to bo determined by tho terms of his agreement that iu case tno payments aro not mudo as stipulated, tho company's ngent may' enter upon too promises and tune away tho machine Tho contract, whether leaso or conditional sale, is binding as between tho parties j but tho company, in carrying out its provisions, must not do any act that amounts to a broach of tho peace. Suppose a tenant has a lease, that tho term oxplres and he re mains in possession when ho ought to leave, and that tho landlord re-entering sets out his goods i trespass will not lie, DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. because the tenant had agreed to go out t bni supposo tho landlord in re entering uses lorco and violonco amount ing to a breach of the public pence, ho is responsible for that not to tho ten ant, but to tho commonwealth. Tho Singer Manufacturing Company not having been paid according to contract, had the right to go upon any premises occupied by James Kinsloy, nnd ntnko their machine j in doing it, did thoy commit nn assault mid battery t Mrs. Kinsloy says that after tho ngent Trathon camo in sho sat upon tho sewing mnchlue, and (In substance) forbade its removal, Hint Woodward took hold of her two hands nnd pulled her awny, at the same timo directing tho agent to tnko the machine out of tho house, that, struggling, c ho nnd tho constablo reached the door, ho main taining his hold on her t that sho touched tho machine now loaded upon tho wagon by Trathen, was pulled off by Woodward, thrown down, (or partly so), struck, considerably hurl, nnd had to keep her bod for some timo after wards, tier daughter testifies in sub stantial accord with her mother. Tho defendants say that Mrs. Kinsley be gan tho iissnult, struck tho ngent fierce ly In tho region of tho stomach, mado demonstration that sho was going to strike him with a chair and did siriko tho constable with it, and that nothing more was dono on their part than to protect lticmclves : it their version is correct, tho second count is scarcely mado out against them or cith er of them. Hut, it bIio had planted herself on the machine, nnd they did pull herofT in order to get tho machine, they would bo guilty of nsault and ballciyiif she made nn attack upon them, and 'hey did nothing more than to g ard mselvcs they would not be guilty, h.. ng n right to take iho ma chine. If both these defendants participated in tho matter, they are both equally re sponsible for whatever was done by concert of action between them. If tho agent did nothing to encourage any assault upon jUrs. Kinsley, did not as sent toany, then he is not guilty ; but if the ngent nnd constable went on a joint enterprise, intending, at all events, to accomplish it, they are both equally guilty or equally iunocont, as you may find the fact to-be. If you fiud tho defendants, or either of them, guilty of either offense charg ed in this indictment, you havo nothing to say about costs ; if you acquit both tho defendants on both counts, you will impose costs upon tho prosecutor, naming him, or upon the defendants or either of them, or upon tho county, or upon prosecutor and defendants in such rales as you may deem fit. How the Arthur Boom is Managed. From the Washington Critic (Kep). The conspiracy to nominate Arthur thickens and assumes ohape, nnd the tactics employed are of the log-rolling kind, the "I ticklo you and you tlcklo mo" species. It is an old game and has sometimes won. The Republicans of Indiana are to be mado solid for Ar thur by n8socinting Postmaster Gener al Grcsham's namo for the second place. The same result is to bo achieved iu Illinois with Secretary Lincoln's. In Ohio itifi F-ister who is to have second place. Aim bo on through tho cata logue of Republican States, always seeking to select a popular man for second place. The game will scarcely win in 1881. Une blast from blames horn will knock down all tho pins thus set up. Then Logan may havo some thing to say about Illinois ; Uairison concerning Indiana, and Sherman re garding Ohio. The country has grown to i big and the peoplo too intelligen for such a transparent game. Lillian Spen icr tho actress, has applied for a di vorce from her husband, Edward Clayburg, on ac count of Inhuman treatment. She says bo ha s compelled her to go upon the stago when she was 111, has spent all her earnings, and on ono occasion threatened to shoot her. Proceedings were begun in Pittsburg.
