THE LAST MAN.

Many an item has bsen written concerning
the last minute people-the dilatory class who
wait until the last minute before starting for
the train or boat, and, if they succeed in get
ting or board, do so by catching on with their
eyelids, as it WERE But yesterdays last man
was not ex actly of that sort. He was resi-
dent of Dixon, and had been waiting about
quarter Of an hour at the depot for the $50
train for San Francisco to leave. Finally
friend suggested that they go into the saloon
and take little something" as a sort of
stirrup cap. The proposer ordered little
whisky, and the gentleman from Dixon a
glass of beer. Just then the train started.
The whisky man surrounded his bever-
age with a gulp, dashed cut of the
door and boarded the train without much
trouble. The beer man was bound to
finish his glass, and as he did not have first
class swallow, when he emerged from the
door the train was eighty yards away. Then
ensded one of the prettiest races that has been
seen at the depot in many day. The pedes-
trian flew along, his overcoat spread out until
it made him resemble q bat, and he gained
rapidly upon the train. but the latter was in
creasiDg in speed, and human endurance has
its limits. 1t didn't do him any good if the
passengers on the rear platform did motion
to him to hurry up, and pretend to pull the
bell rope and the crowd at the depot yell all
sorts of advice. But be struggled manfully
until his hat blew off. He captured it, and
renewed the chase, and finally, when he had
reached the end of the bridge, the train came
to a stop and with a few more desperate eff
forts he got on board. The crowd of spectators
applsuded and turned away, expecting the
curtain to descend; but just then another
scene was presented, two women being OBJ
served, each with bundle, of course, leaving
the depot and pursuing the train as fast as
they could run. The crowd sympathized but
thought it fun all the same, and encouraged
the runners az a crowd usually does under
such circumstances, though it was apparent
to all but the ladies that the train had
started on again after the last msn was taken
on board. They ran to the bridge, and then
had a view of the smoke of the locomotive
half mile from Washington. The last
returned to tne depot, and sat down TO rest.
Then the ladies' man of the police force went
up to them to suggest that they were in
plenty of time for the next train going in The
same direction. He was considerably amused
when ne heard that one of the ladies was the
wife OF the last man." She and the other
lady had been waiting for him TO return to
get on board the train, but the first they saw
of him he was scooting along after the cars,
and when they saw his success they thought
it a pity for half of him to 80 alone, and the
other half followed.

Great Need of Reform.

Correspondence Of the Democrat
II there is question Of more inn

pile it is the great one Of reformation,
yes in this very nation of ours which
boasts of being a christian land "a
land of free Institutions nation
whose great fundamental principle
is liberty and protection to all who
may seek shelter in its wide domain.
And yet can any intelligent amer
can who reads or learns otherwise,
OF the manner in which our elections
to Office of whatever character are
generally carried out think for Il
moment that there is no need OF re
forml We think there is not one in
telilgent citizen who, having gwen
this matter due consideration is not
ready to say surely there is great
need OF reform in this nation. Is 1t
not evident to us all, that fraud and
trlckery have come to be such prom
lnent parts of our elections, that un
less man is able and willing TO en-
ter into some scheme Of fraud or
trlckefy which would make the truly
good citizen blush to think of doing
lac dare not enter the field for Office,
u he does, it is with the certainty OF
defeat. And the lust for office has
become so insatiably great among
our people that scarcely can we find
an office seeker who is not ready and
wiling to use any means in his pow
or, however demoralizing they may
be, II necessary to carry him through

such things to be looked upon with

ELEVENTH YEAR.---NO. %.

We read the news Of to-day but what
our gaze is met with the account ol
some powerful monopoly movement
being made which will be hurtfnl
and evea ruinous TO many OF our
hard working and honest citizens,
or OF the entire session of legisla
ture having been frittered away, oi
course at the expense of the people,
and without a single law having
been enacted for their benefit, or OF
proposition being considered by a
Legislative body to increase the al.
ready too high salaries of many OF
our leading officers. And many 9th.
er things we could mention that
would lead to oppression. Now are
not these things demoralizing to the
democratic party? Will the people
who tolerate such things long be free
and independent? Had not the peo-
pie Of governments long since passed
ont of existence through just such
management, Just as good cause to
believe that their government would
be perpetual as we have under like
circumstances? We cannot deny that
they had Then how can we as a
party hope to escape the same kind
Of doom that fell upon them If we
allow the same thing to be done that
they did? Let us not conclude that
God in his dispensation of Judgment
upon nations for their lniquities will
have respect unto ours more than
Others. AS he is no respecter OF
persons, sn he is no respecter oil
nations. Then is not reform In our
party needful, would it not be to the
utmost Importance not to few only
but to every one? Now this power
is invested in the people to correct
the evils SO apparent to every one
or stand still and year after year the
load will continue TO increase. Now
fellow citizens, being confident OF the
fact that the principles Of democracy
are good, but that her principles
have been trodden upon, and that
some have crept in upon her ranks
and thereby corrupted the party.
Now fellow citizens, let us consider
well sur duty before time comes to
act, and when the day comes fol
primary election let US come boldly
to the polls and nominate the very
best material and thereby purify the
party. GEORGE.

Centre VALLEY school.

Correspondence OF the Democrat.
We feel it our duty rs the Direct
ors Of school District, No. 23, Valley
Township, Pope county, to announce
to the public, the fact that the High
school taught by Prof. Guion, has
been both in literary and moral
sense a grand success. Our bright
est anticipations have been more
than realized in Prof. Guion. In
point of discipline, moral culture and
literary advancement, this school
has excelled any that have preceded
it at Center Valley. -
The school will continue under the
present system and management
during the months of July and Au-
gust, after which time we intend es.
tablishing graded school in con-
nection with our public school.
This school is just what we have
needed for long time-a first class
school within the reach OF the young
men and women residing in the rural
districts. Students can here pre-
pare for admission to any college in
the U. S. And we trust, TO soon be
able to furnish the necessary charts
and anatomical apparatus for lectures
on history and physiology.
Tie school will be surrounded
with religious Influences, and board
can be obtained during the summer
and fall months al reasonable figures.
Our beautiful and healthy location
combined with the superior ability
OF our school management are NO
longer questions OF doubt. A large
Sabbath school is in operation, and
a reading room will soon be opened
for the instruction and entertain
ment Of students and visitors.

Boys II you want to test your bud,
I'll tell you how to hit him quick,
just get IN the Dover jug,
And you'l find he won't stick.
To me many did devotedly tie,
And solemnly pledge to me and say,
By you I'll stand until die,
But now they cant find the way.
To many I've been true friend,
But from me now they shirk and qIail,
And say heis independent for the pen
just becaase am in jail.
Now boys once befrieEded a man,
BY so doing preserved his life,
[ Against me now he's doing ALL can,
To cut my throat he would lend his
knife.
My;readerI wish not to offend.
Against YOU would not strife,
Although may go to the pen.
It may not last for life.
Now young men, beware OF too warm

Keep away and shun him all you can,
For he'll buy your ticket to the pen,
And then solemnly swear he is not the
man.
