THE Democrat copies and en-
dorses a. long article from the New
York World, scouting the formation
of a new party as uncalled for and
impracticaL!e.. The World is the
acknowledged head of the Demo-
cratic party, and the World opposes
and always has opposed. the pMy
efforts of Peck and feK others to-
bury the Democratic party and
raise upa new party instead. From
onr neighbours endorsement of the
World's position, we judge he has
abandoned. his theory that the Dem
ocratic party is dead and that the
"ReforuA,' party is distnctively q
new party, No Sensible, honest
man was ever cajoled into viewing
the sc-called reform movement as
anything but new dodge of old
dodgers "a putting on OF "the
livery Of heaven to serve the devil
in." Gradually the eleyeR foot is
being revealed, and soon th9 Demo-
cratic carcass will be SO palpably
seen by the whole people as to rem

Mrs. Magruder's baby, says Max Adeler,
is carried out by the nurse now, since the
accident to its carriage, Magruder thought
it would be good idea to have tame
goat to pull the coach and he bought one
for the purpose hut one day the goat
met another goat that differed from him in
politics or religion, or something, and each
undertook to convince the other by jam
ming him in the skull. Every time Ma
gruder's goat would rear up preparatory
to making lunge forward, Magruder S
bady would lurch over backward, and when
Magruder's goat struck the other goat the
conclusion would shake the milk in the
baby's stomach into butter. And some
times the other goat would aim at Ma.
gruder's goat, which would dodge, and
then the other goat would plunge head
foremost into the coach, and mash the ba-
by up in the most frightful manner. And
in the midst of the contest couple Of
dogs Joined in, and Magruder's goat back
ed of and tilted the coach into the gut
ter, and the dogs, biting around kind Of
generally, would snap at the goat, and
cause it to whirl the baby around just in
time for the bite until at last the goat
got disheartened, and sprang through the
fence, leaving the coach on the other side,
and il struggled frantically to escape while
the other goat crowded up against the ba-
by in order to avoid the dogs, and finally
knocked the baby out, and butted the
coach to spinters. They say the way Mrs
Msgruder eyed Magruder that afternoon,
when they brought the baby home, mu.
tilated and disheveled, was simply awful
to behold; but she didn't speak TO him
for a week, and he had TO soften her down
by buying an ostrich feather for her win
ter hat The goat is still Mt large. Any
BODY who wants him can have him free
of charge. Magruder doesn't recognize
him when he meets the animal upon the
street
