i Beautiful Record. Not tlie Same. The Razorback. Up in Nebraska a few days ago, a crowd iof Bryan 'steen to 1 ers met to question an discuss the silver d its relation to wheat. -After 'speechifying for about two dsys on the subject they passed the following reso lutions Whereas ve have been taught for the past ew years that the price of wheit and. the price 4 of silver always remains the same, and ' Whereas c ur leader whox can not make a mistake, the Hon. W. J. Bryai of our state has taught us th lsly and, Whereas w are in duty bound to swallow everything our leader says without investigation and, Whereas ve see that the price of wheat and silver are not now the same by Therefore a jugful be it resolved that this is hell and we will not raise any more wheat but will raise corn entirely and Be it further-resolved that a copy of these;. resolutions be sent ;to our -leader with the request that he revise his speech so that we will not be placed in such- a position, again. -Ex. Banks Tliat Never Fail " The Cnih:6sD may be a trifle slow in their j boasted intention of wiping, the Mikado's kingdom oif the.map, but there; are some features of their banking system which .our blasted Western , civ ilization might adopt with profit. Currency, in the form of bank notes, was issued in China as early as the ninth century, al though the art of printing was not known ijii Europe till some centuries later. Chinese bank notes are always redeemed, be cause the law in China providea that, when bank fails, every man connected with it, includ ing" the managers and clerks, shall have His head chopped off, and they all ! thrown in a heap, together with the books of the firm. This salutary effect that not a single Chinese ba payment wi hundred years. law has had- such lk has suspended thin the last five Subscribe for the Yellow Jackets Oiily 15 cts a year. The razorback is a breed of hogs raised in thesbuth," before the war, and still to be found in some localities, says an exchange He is built on the swiss cot tage style of architecture. His ears lay back with a devil-may-care air. His tail has no curl,, but hangs limp as a dish rag. The highest point of his corrug ated back is 10 inches above the root of his tail. He ignores the slow statelv walk of the Berk shire, and goes in a lively 2-10 trot. He alwavs travels as if he was trying to catch a train which had just whistled for the' station , and he had a quarter of a mile to make to get there. The thoroughbred razorback prowls around in the woods, liv ing on acorns, nuts and roots, and if necessary can climb a tree like a monkey. Occasionally he crowds under a gate and assists in harvesting his owner's corn crop, and if he has any time to spare, from his owner's crop, lie will turn in and assist his neigh bor, often working at night rather than see the crop spoil for want of attention. He never knew the luxury of a sty. He wouldn't, get fat if he could , atid is only fit to kill on the day of eternity. Crossing the razor back with the bldeblood stock makes no improvement. The odly successful way is ..to cross him with a locomotive going thirty miles an hour. He then becomes an imported thor oughbred and the railroad com pany pays for him at the rate of 50 cents a pound. The ham of a razorback is almost as juicy as the ham of an iron fi redog ; but not quite as good eating as sassafras bark. A man who is authority on razorbacks says a razorback is the only bird of prey that is amphibious in its habits and can lift a gate off its hinges without ruffling a feath er. Moultrie Observer; is saiu. mai maians .-never kiss each other. Judging from those we ruwe seen we don't blame them. So far the doctors have persuad ed the people to have anything else cut out but their tongues. : 1 Tim democratic record in me last campaign was a beauty. In Massachusetts the party stood for free silver. - In New York the state plat form was silent on the money question. In greater New York, Tam many, openly repudiated the Chicago platform, and the lead ers of the free silver democracy in other states lent their influ ence in the. campaign. In Maryland the democratic party was for gold. In Pennsylvania the state platform declared for silver. The issue was totally abandoned during the campaign and gold bugs were nominated on local tickets. In Ohio the platform declared tor free silver, ''butr prominent free silver orators were kept out of the fight and the campaign was largely run on the issue : .'Anything and anybody to beat Mark Hanna." Isn't that a daisy of a record for a party which is to bring deliverance to the people through the free coinage of silver? In the matter of the variety of colors, Joseph's long famed coat would not be "hi it" in comparison. They seem to have made a new and literal rendering of one of Paul's sayings, and are wil ling to be all things to all men and anything to any men if by any means they can secure some offices. , When it comes to picking out principles for a platfornTUr cam paign any old thing oiVa princi ple will do so it will catch votes. They are like the school teacher who declared that 'lie was ready to teach that tlie world was either round or flat, whichever way would, secure im a school. To try to reform the country with the democratic party is equal to the wisdom of the house wife who gets water from a sew er to wash her dinner dishes in. When a girl really feels dress ed she gets afraid to do anything right suddenly for fear her clothes wont set right. THEY SAY. j That you can't always gauge a man's ability as a "kicker" by the size of shoe he wears. That a woman can always have her own way by letting the man have his. . That you can't always tell (he power amount of a man's brain by the size of his hat. " it is right that heTfaiim4e to pay a tax on it in the.shaper)f a tariff. f That the farmer prefers the si lent lay of the hen to the musical notes o the rooster. That nearly "every man has a hobby, and every girl is looking forward to the time when she ll have a huh by. That when a -head swells it doesn't hold anv more. That when society is a woixir hobby she is usually a bare-back rider. That many people spend more for bait than fish would cost. That the'home. rule ' party in this country consists of1 women. That the fellow that talks too much is pretty apt to say a great many things that are not so That an uprto-date .woman is frequently, far behind her age. That (love sharpens the wits of a woman -anddulls the wits of a man, That any word pronounced by a maiden is Miss pronounced. That the servant girl is eiir rounded by perils seen, uns and kerosene. Th at sometimes , a girl helps he oasiitul lover out , and sometimes it is her father. That love may not make the world go round, but it makes tlie young man go round to her house about 7 nights -in' the week. That the man, who unexpected ly sits down on an upturned tack, is almost sure to be a 'profane up start. That it is. what we don't think that makes us innocent and what we don't do that keeps us so. That manv-a.man who i ni a gin &5K himself a genius is only a common every day fool. That the Georgia man who de serted his wife because their first born was a girl, should remember the proverb, "If at first you don't succeed, etc." - ' e i- i 1 vx.
