Miss Prosperity may be coming, but she will never reach here on the single gold standard line. We gather from what we have seen of Lincoln that he was no civil-service reformer of the style of Grover Cleveland. Waterson . So Dr. York is coming out for Congress! Doesn't want t h e place, but his mends are just pressing it upon him, you see. SA hit? slice of rascality could be cut out of politics by cutting down salaries. Those men would soon drop out who seek the office -n-tho on nrv nn v. ' " . mi Tf there is anvthing more ridic ulous than getting drunk ones self it is that of electing a drunk ard to office. How can a man be trusted with the government of others who won't govern nimsem A nno-tret of sold weighing 22 lbs., valued at $4,800 was found recently by Jake Shinn in Cabar rus. TVip Hndden discoverv of a few hundred such nuggets would knock more props "from under Grover's goidbug scafTo'd than a dozen Ben Tillmans with "pitchlorKs. An exchange says one difference between Lincoln and Cleveland is, the former was a rail splitter while the latter is a party splitter. Another difference is they are not alike at all. 4 'I believe the struggle now go incr nn in this countrv and in oth er countries for a single gold flt.n.ndard. wi 11. if successful, pro- duco widespread disaster, m the end, throughout the world." Now don't fly off the helve and cuss us for this utterance, it was James G. Blaine who said tfiis. According to an exchange the Democrats of a certain western state are adopting some strong resolutions, as the following indi cates : Resolved that no man is a Dem ocrat who doesn't agree to support the nominee, even it the Kotns childs write the platform and the Devil heads the ticKet. Talk about nerve! John M. Holster, of Parsonville, N. C, has ventured to make the assertion that the farmers of our state en joyed more prosperity last year than m twenty years past. The Democrats of Oregon have 1 lorl fi-PP silver delegates to Chicago, and passed a resolution endorsing the "honesty and cour age of Grover Cleveland." There is some more consistency ior you. TCverv time it rains, we think of ducks, and every time we think of ducks we think ot Mr. Cleveland, nnd everv time we think ot Mr. Cleveland, we remember that our daddy was a Democrat. Maiden News. The Landmark comes out with on illnst.Tat.ion showing Linney and York mounted for the Con gressional contest, the former nstride his little red bull, and the latter upon his mule. The cut Tvi;-Vit in.vfi RiiErerestea more truin, had it shown Linney mounted up on York. Wouldn't it be interesting to read all the opprobrious squirts slurs that, have been hurled at Grover Cleveland by the Dem nornfa ot the countrv? But while they are so vigorously cussing and criticising the great Duck Shooter, they should remember that they are the very chaps who gave him to us. The Cleveland Prosperity Mill is still "getting there Eli." Brad streat's Review of Trade for the first, nn arter of '96 shows1 the larg est list of failures ii the United States ever reported for a like pe riod. The total number of fail ures is 4,512, or 700 more than in a like period of 1895, 543 more than m lyl, and ,44tf more tnan In the first quarter of 1893. Hur- rah for, the Grover uieveiand ez Co-give-us-a-chance-trust-bustmg-wage-raising - Democratic party ! Nothing like it can be found "on earth, or in the heavens above, or on the north side of the east cor ner of hell. " Th verv best reason that can be given why the Democrats will not give the country any relief is that they didn't do so when they had the chance, vvny aian tiney show as much courage in Congress as they manifested on the stump i This has been a prosperous year if business failures constitute prosperity. In two weeks in the month of March the liabilities in commercial failurers agrigated $6, 799,397 against $372,4Yl ior Lne I entire month in '95, just a year sinnp You bet. this single gold . . j standard business is "aching oi beauty and a joy toreyer. James E. Cobb, whom the Dem ocrats elected(?) to Congress from the Fifth Alabama District has been unseated, and Goodwyn, Pop., who ran against him, seated in his place. Same old Democrat ic game of. ballot box stuffing and intimidation led to the contest. This is the very same Cobb, who, while making a speech, in quired, "Mr. Speaker, where am 1 at? Tom vv arson anciwaiuo took up the expression and gave it general publicity. The averaere up-to-date sun boat- costs about five million dollars , steel, stealings and all. Old O. r. Huntington owes Uncle &am a- bout sixty million, w hy not col lect that and build twelve engines of death to float around in New York harbor? Will the New York, flnrirli7:p.fl nevvsnaners endorse this scheme? Not in a thousand years. -Denver Road. We infer from Cleveland's last utterance that he doesn't care for the Western people. Well, the Western people don't care a darn for Cleveland, hence no love lost. Lincoln Patriot. Whv don't some one fill an old tin can with nails and hitch it to Grover Cleveland's tail? we are afraid of "big dogs" and would like to see the old fool run him seit lo death. Lincoln Patriot. The Demmies will soori be cry ing : ' 'give us one more chance ! " A chance for what to finish run ning this country . into Hades? Maiden News.
