ON the speakership, New York went
to experimenting little and the result
is not good. Eut as long a. New York

The democracy is the party of re-
form aud if assumes power March
4th, 1885, it will put Itself on the re-
cord in no uncertain way on this
head. The whole country is ripe for
the change, ~ it is thoroughly sick
and tired of the empty promises aud
weak pretense5 of the republican
party, which has dominated many
long tircsomc wears. The lease OF
democratic power will depend
mainly upon how it acqu,s itself Of
the trust the people mean
to bestow upon il. II 1t goes
at the task in m earnest way, il
it early gives promise of real effort to
clean up matters, the people wlIl
rally to 1t in all the majesty of their
omuipotent power. But If it Is de-
tccted in Il weak effort to cvade the
work, the people will fall away FROM
II promptly, \ sweeping reform Of
the abuses which have grown up un-
der our unfair and ubiquitous tarir
system would be equal to and insure
the democracy a twenty-five years
leave oipower without doubt.

Wonder what that active red hot
partisan democratic paper, the Cad
weston News, will say to the New
York result. Such thing is us much
as the Old liners can stand, to say
nothing of enthusiastic young rou-
verls. 1t must be trying, dread fully
trying upon the uuscasoncd spring
chickens OF democracy, so TO speak,
to see the great empire state passed
back and forward this way.

A Famous Dog.

There was not many tears shed
when Leo died. A mole was dug in
the yard and he was covered over.
Leo was the terror of Henry Disston
& Sons saw factory. He was big,
shaggy Newfoundland dog; stood
nearly four feet in height, and had
just enough black ard white hair to
make him fine looking. When he
was a pup he entered the service of
the Disstons, and was educated as a
watchdog. In his early days he was
amiable, but as his life wore on he
became cross and sullen, and it was
necessary to keep him closely chained
during the day.
The animal was good monitor in
the factory, and if he found men
outside of their departments
or loaing around, he would
make savage rushes at them and
drive them to their labors. Strange
as it may seem, he never attempted
to interfere with man while at
work. The cashier one evening Was
detained after hours, and he went
down stairs to leave the building in a
hurry.
Leo was at the bottom of the stair
case, and quickly OWNED that the
man had no business in the place af-
ter hours. He made dash at the
cashier, but the latter FORUM
ately picked up chair to de-
fend himself. The battle waged
fiercely for some minutes. The chair
was shattered in jiffy, and, when
the cashier was left with but one
piece of the broken article with which
to defend himself, assistance arrived.
1t was very opportune that aid came,
because Leo was good for three or
four more rounds, while the cashier
was well-nigh exhausted.
One of the funniest incidents of his
career was the manner in which he
captured a country customer. Leo
was lett in the wareroOm during din
ner hour. He knew his business was
to watch the goods. The country
man strolled In, but did not see the
dog. He knocked his hat off by run
ming against some goods, and stopped
to pick it up. In second the
dog made dash at the hat,
and the rustic concluded not to pick
it up just then. He stood looking
first at the hat and then at the dog.
Leo backed off and looked at the hat
and then at the man, with an air of
sauciness, which seemed to mean:
"Pick it up if you dare" Every time
the man bent his back to get
the hat the dog stepped over
it. At last the visitor made up
his mind to move out and allow the
dog to keep the hat. He had observ-
ed Leo open his mouth and lick his
chops as if he were getting ready to
take a piece of countryman. The
fellow backed towards the door, de-
liberately keeping close watch on
the dog. For every step he took
backward the dog made one
forward. At last the door
was reached, when the man grasped
the knob, opened the door quickly,
and shot out. Just as he did Leo
made jump and gave growL Then
he went and stood by the hat again.
When the employees returned, the
countryman received his hat.
