y Specific for the Blues. Dys-
pepsisi and Hard Times.

Waco has its comedy favorites, some
of whom visit us from year to year,
Henry Robinson, John Templeton and
Others, but Mr. Chas. l.. Davis as
"Uncle Alvin Joslin," though II W,
is already a favorite, and will
hereafter continue SO, provided he
will put in an appearance once each
year. The comedy company bearing
this name held the boards last night,
and considering the state of the
weather, and the Purim ball, our
greatest local attraction of the season.
he had a splend d though not crowded
house. If You want to commence laugh
ing and desire to gauge the capacity of
your lungs, sit down i'll one OF those
chairs Tonight at s p. m, and if at II
O'Clock you do not say you have had
enough we will secure an engagement
for you with either Barnum or Fore
pau2h AS person who cannot be salts
fled For a fact, the Alvin Joslin com
edy company is Individually and as a
whole, not speaking of Davis himself,
much better than the ordinary compa-
MES, and would be ranked fair III higher
variety and modern comedy circles in
our largest cities; but Davis is
the company, and in his profession
has earned the degree of superlative.
True, after yam step outside you do not
know what you have been laughing at,
but Alvin Joslin does, and he can claim
fairly that You cannot sit in the audi
ence and not laugh. He Is the alI-in-all
of the company, by his vast superb
ority, though all were recognized rs ex-
cellent. In fact, to tell it all, we must
say they played nothing, said nothing,
did nothing and it was the com
edy of comedies in Waco, and
Uncle Alvin is admitted to be the
easiest laugh-maker who has yet visited
us. We take this the first opportunity
We have had of talking in a solemn
mood since we left the opera house of
saying that uncle Alvin will atliict the
Waco public tonight for the last time
this season

THE GUN AND CAN.
Faithful A agents In Filling Up
Cemeteries.

We notice that the papers over the
state are commenting on the accidental
killing of the colored woman few days
ago, by shot from a Winchester in the
hands of jeff Caufeld, the colored boy,
and several other occurrences of the
same nature in different parts of the
state. Some of them deplore the
too apparent fact hat in spite
of al the instruction and care
that is or should be exercised the rate
of mortality from the careless use of fire.
arms and kerosene is on the increase.
A few insist that some sort OF legislation
Is needed on the matter and suggest
that penalty should be attached for
using III a careless manner guns of any
sort or kerosene, or for permitting per
sons who do not know the danger to use
them. 1t would be difficult matter, it
seems to us, to determine VIII
does or who does not know the
danger that is i'll them, and even
when this matter is adjusted, ad-
mfting that ii can be, hox cln these
agents OF the graveyard be kept out OF
Their reach: In what manner is penalty
going to be affixed and on whom; man
in his own household is supposed to use
his own discretion, as to the disposition
OF his firearms and oil. 1t would strike US
that II would be piece OF legislation eX-
tGaorulnaly TO tackle such a question. Ii
is no less rue, however, that the number
OF people who lose their lives By these
agents, Is on the increase very fast and
how TO check the hay oc they are making
among human DelH gs is a subject worthy
the most serious thought. In this coun-
try it is asserted that the delths each wear
ON these causes are greater in number
than from either drowning, suicide or
under. and stands second in ratio only
II the number carried OIL by alcohol. If
this be true the extent is then truly
alarming, and there is good cause for cry
ing out i'll favor of attention from some
quarter. In majority OF cases
it j. made more impOrtunate from the fact
that the victims are nearly all young and
innocent instead OF being old toprrs or
persons who commit suicide on account
OF diseased state of mind. How many
sons and daughters, young, beautiful
WON have been sent to their graves by
tie harmless pistol and coal oil en-? In
this locality we have had instances enough
Of this sad nature and the record is the
same everywhere. With all the teaching
and experience OF the past it seems that
people VIII MOI hdll anu we uOuDl IL iep-
sati0n could have the least beneficial
fleets. Like some OF our worst evils it
seems that carelcssnrss in this direction
cannot he ayerted. II any method offers
good effects il would SCI LII TO be careful
watching and good advice on the part of
parents, guardians and employers. Care
lessn' IS in all things should be reproyed
and the lessen inculcated that there is
danger even in the careless handling OF a
pen-knite. Too many mounds have been
raised in grave-yaris over perforated and
charred remains already.

Ridiculous Fears.

One of the most curious things in the
newspaper literature of the present day
is the fierce opposition shown by certain
English journals to the French PROPOSE
ton to construct railway tunnel under
the English channel from Calais to
Dover. Labored articles, columns in
length, are published every week against
the project, which the innocent reader is
asked to believe to be one Of the most
wicked and dangerous that was ever con-
ceived. The measure is opposed not,
as might be supposed, because it is re-
garded impracticable, useless, or too
costly. but solely on the ground of pub
lie safety. It's seriously and elaborately
argued that the tunnel once opened would
increase the chances of a hostile invasion
of English soil by France! Anyone but
but thick-headed Briton would want no
better trap for an invading foe than to
get him in an underwater tunnel some
twenty miles in length, with little
corps of sappers and miners at one end
oft. The predicament in which Pharaoh
and his hosts found themselves was moth
ing compared to the fix in which the in
vaders could be placed in consequence.
Yet Johnny Bull persistently refuses to
take this view of the case, and stubbornly
insists,thst the work shall not be done,
for the reason stated above, no matter
how much benefit it might be before q
war occurs between the two countries.

Democracy, the Friend Of the People.

The New York Times and some other
Republican organs of less note are striv-
ing to make it appear that the Demo-
cratic party is the avowed foe of capt.
tai. The Times remarks:
shaping anything like definite policy with
reference to the fall elections and those of the
next Presidential year, it is against the con-
sentative property interests.
Starting out with such proposition,
it is easy enough to understand the scope
of the Times argument to sustain it.
A puerile falsehood is always fruitful of
trivial vulgarity when an attempt is made
to give it the force of truth. In stating
that the Democratic party is shaping a
policy in antagonism to conservative
property interests" the Times descends
to the level where demagogism and
mendacity meet and embrace. The
Times furthermore says:
1t has long been the characteristic DISPOSE
ton Of that party to seize upon positions that
address themselves to the less intelligent
classes of the people. This may be q necessity
rather than choice, for the reason that the
appreciation of the prime pies of political econ
0my, occupy the better standpoint and leave
only the inferior to the opposition It is the
boast Of the Democratic leaders that they rep
resent the interests of the great masses Of the
people. especially those of the laboring classes,
and they, by constant inference, IL not by dr.
rect assertion, preach the pernicious doctrine
that there is a necessary conflict between cap
ital and labor.
We do not care to object to the Times
intimation that the Democratic party is
the party of the people, the great
masses, the toilers, the wage men,
the wealth producers, the men who
build and operate all the great indus
tries of the continent, but in these days
of Common schools, of books and news
papers, the Times and Republican or
gans generally which refer to working
people as ignorant and degraded, as
suping that Republicans are more in
