ONLYDEMOGRATIC PA1JER I^T THE OOITTsH
Incident! of the Primary Conran.
Malaehi gets off a "good one"
on "E. M." Says Mslaehi: "Now,
E. M. and me ns tpeodiu’ the
night at a place. Next tnornin’
we got up good an’ toon, and went
down to the music room. E. M.
like me, was hongry. But one of
the gyrls wsutcd to play on the
pianuer. All the rest of the little
things—the youngest un won’t
over twenty—-come and set right
down arottu’ Hiues. Left E. M.
over thar skeere i plum to death.
Same time he got hougrier.
"Finally one o’ the fvrls want
ed to be sorter nice, and she said
to him, ‘Mr. E. M., do you like
violin?’ I aint very choice, says
ee; my mammy alius taught me
to eat any old thing."
"AudJMr. Parsons thar, he np
and got smart; been tefliii’ it
aronn’ if Hiues didn’t watch out,
he'd sat him alive, tome & these
times. I say to Mr. Pam ns, 101
I, Mr. Parsons, if yon rat me,
you couldn't digest me! ‘Why,
safe ee?‘ Because, I tole him,
(and here Mulachi cut all sorts of
capers) I tole him, he’d hays me’
brsiue in his-stoinmic than he
bad in hi* bead."
Major Edward Sullivau, wear
ing his usual French milihnry
go*tee, and accompanied with a
bouuteous supply of 10-cent ‘ gold
bond" cigars, wee among the con
spicuous at "the circus" Satur
day night. The major’s interest,
which knew no waning, became
climatic when your Ui ole Mala
obi, hy degrees occupied the cen
ter of the stage. "X-ynvr, n-yovv,
n-jrpw,” muttered the major, vig
hrously persecuting hie unlit
cigar which he hod already half
'way sent to the bad, through hie
chewing industry.
And though Hines thought the
opposite, I may otserve that no is
oaecitizen Major Sullivan can’t
unsay terms endure!
"And thar sets my frien’ Sul
livau," observed Hiues, reclining
against the stage table, aud lend
ing himself tho poise of a Chester
field, aa it were. -
"Ya-aa, here ha seta; bntset* i»
all. Sich aa you don’t git Sulli
van’e vote. Gcll doom yonr fool
time, Malacbi, suet up, *het op!
You're no f;iend.of mine."
“Beg pitrdm, answered Hines,
waxing warmly. “Wo* jest com
plimentin’ when I snid frien *
Don't want your m**asley vot* no
how. Make me )■ te fifty good
folks’s. No, eoh, Sullivan,
play in yo’ own book yard. Hines
don't want jott messin' in liia’n.
“I—I wo—won’*. be insnlted,”
aays Major Snllivan. reaching for
his grey wool hat, nf tbs vintage
of 1801. - “Dern'd if I don’t ad
journ 1“
As the major takes at I lie door
way, bia last lingering look, Hint*
heootniog touched, waves with a
sigh of tender regret: “Bye bye,

"Fact* and Figures*
Tho above littlo sheet, spi

i-rs political, t''e following
editorial effusion from the
humorous pen of its broozv
editor, your former towns

These free rural deliveryi

* i
way.
I f the offices were let to
lhe lowest bidder, some peo-'
jde would bid them off so'
low they would have lo bor-j
low money to live on.
We may be induced, oncej
iu a while, under certain
conditions, to support a iuanj
for office- lor a third time,;
but never for e fourth. I ft
that be treason mako iliui
most of it.
If keeping a man in office
all his life is the pioper tiling
to do, then a republican
form of government is a fail
ure, and a monarchial form
o'* government is preferable.
This talk about free Amer
ican institutions is claptrap.
.Step down and aside, young,
man if you are ambitious, j
your dreams of advancement j
in the world must .be ban |
ished and forgotten. We
have decided to let the fa-:
vored few rule in tin’s land
of liberty!), and establish a
nobility (those appointed to
rule) whose divine right it is
to govern this people. We
decided fully upon the poli
cy of the “surviva; of the
f'tt.ist” and we mean by this
life tenure in office.
1 f a man is doing good ser
vice that means that no one
else can do any service at all.
Keep a man in his plnco.
f>et him die with the harness
on. The office he. has chosen
is his by heirship. This will
be bequeathed to his son.
This son may bo unworthy,
but no matter it is his.
The man who savs aught
against the above creed is not
a true democrat, but a kick
er and a disturber of the di
vine right of kingr."
If the people are content,
wo aro satisfied, but we do say
long terms in office is undem
ocratic.
No man ever served you
in any capacity whatsoever
but that his equal, and a
number of equals could be

stituency. This thing of a
