VIII the democracy Turn Over a New
Leafc

Instead Of revolving against the expressed
will of the people, which has resulted in the
election of Mr.. Hayes, or even attempting
any such hazardous measure, the Democratic
party should turn over a new leaf on this the
first day of The first year of our second century
of national existence and resolve:
First. To prly merciful Providence to
open wide their mouths In the act of repent
ance, and after their mouths have been opened
to resolve:
Secondly. That God is good and full of
tender mercy for allowing them amidst all
their treason and trickery, inidelity and tom
fooling to exist as party up to the present
day.
Thirdly. Tht having been convinced that
their opposition to Hayes is groundless, they
are willing to nbmit quietly to the will of the
people constitttionally expressed, and think
no more of wal.
Fourthly, That the devil shall no more con-
troll the interets of their party in the South,
and that the negro shall hereafter be pro-
tected from the White Line cut-throats, and
allowed the full and free exercise of the fran
chise privileges granted him by the Constitu-
tion.
Filthy, Tha the first one of their party
who cries Citizen or blood" shall be shot on
the spot, or sptted on the snoot, as tho social
or political status of the belligerent may re-
quire.
Sixthly, Tha, instead of holding war meet
ings on the Sth instant, as is now proposed,
an order be ssued Immediately from the
Democratic Naional Committee to hold from
day to day during the present month a series
Of prayer-meetngs in behalf of the murderers,
assassins, ballG-box suffers and general bull
dozers of theirparty, who for some time past
have been committing deeds which would
have disgracedhell in its palmiest days.
seventhly. Tat instead of delegating Ham,
burg Butler and others of his kind to make
"bloody shirts: by the dozen in the South,
with which to clothe their msjorities, that
hereafter these men be ordered to put on
:.Iiped clothing and break stones.
Eighthly. Tint committee of three skillful
physicians be appointed to examine the insane
asylums, and reoort within the next five days
which Of them have the best facilities for
curing or killing the members of the Tilden
literary bureau.
Ninthly. Tha after an honest endeavor,
should they fail to accomplish these reforms,
they will sell out, neck and heel, to the
devil and his PlItonian minions, and see if his
system of politts, unaided by the advice of
the bureau or ntional committee, would be
an Improvement on the present plan.
Lastly. That is this may be the last chance
they will have st the Bari, that the printing
of ithaca resolutinpe ha aid ont of tho eoma

InfQuitfes of ssBuckfng the Tiger

Some time ago a woman was arrested and
dragged into the court. She had been steal
ing a basket of coal. 1t was very small
basket, and she stole it to keep her children
from freezing. She was tried, condemned and
imprisoned. Coming out she stole coal again,
and the law once more threw her into prison.
Being released from the cell she stole, and
again justice overlook her, and she was thrust
into Jail, and yet the law complacently puts
its hands behind its back, and stalks forth in
the presence of the abominations of gambling
in our city, and has not dared to utter whis-
per of reproach. Commit theft to prevent
starving or freezing, and relentless justice,
with keen scent, quickly is on the track. In
the meantime crime ss high as heaven and
As deep as hell goes unpunished. If he who
takes dine from the till of his employer is
thief, then he who takes thousand dimes
from another over The gaming table is ten
thousand times more of thief. The amount
of gambling done in America is simply enor-
nous. Six million and half were lost in the
bells of New York last year; lost by clerks,
merchants and officials. In Chicago forty hun
dred thousand dollars were sacrificed by
bucking the tiger in one year. At Baltimore
over five millions was squandered amidst the
shutting of cards and the rattling of chips,
bankruptiDg business men and blasting the
hopes and happiness of three hundred fami-
lies. In the city of Washington it is esti-
mated that at least three million dollars have
been lost by hard working men within the
past two years. A short time since young
man of Chicago lost two years earnings in
,ne night in New York gambling den; and
phile at the table blew his brains out in
Despair but before the blood was cleansed
rom the floor the players were again at the

Memoirs OF the Past.
" The wave is breaking on the shore,
The echo fading from the chime,
Again the shadow moveth DER

Again the shadow moveth DER
The dial plate of Time"
The life of our first centennial has just de-
parted and we stand in the gray dawn of our
second century of national life. Through the
long drawn past time has been diversified
with day and night, light and shadow, joy and
sorrow, bitterness and love. What If 1t had
been all continuous dayi2 In such case,
life would have tlost its variety and thus have
been cheated outfof its spice. In fact all of
our interests and happiness would have been
dulled by one unbroken and changeless monot-
opy. Although we eagerly turn from the
scenes of the year just dead, we cannot muffle
the bells of memory. Pass swift as we will on
the time waves of the morrow we never can
move from the sights ofyesterday. The earth
is crowded with strains lethean of mans won
derful invention, but the past is with us still.
That which wasl forgotten, but placed on
Memory tablets long ago, we may not re-
member when or where, now come trooping
upon US and. in the new life of the present
pass away to dream and shadow before the
budding of new hopes of fresher joys and
bright anticipstions. Oftimes the gentle
breath of reflection will turn back the leaves
of memory to unroll before us an epitome of
