The Democratic Conundrum.
From the New York Tribune.

Still the main question is, what is a
Democratw All the Democratic news
papers are at present engaged in eX-
pressing opinions on that subject. and
no two agree The Sun, for example, is
quite sure that Democrat must be in
favor OF a strict construction Of the con-
stitutiOn. ION all other questions" it
says, Democrats may fairly differ with
out impsriling their title to upbsar the
party standard" But the World, another
shining light of Democratic opinion, is
convinced that the one thing nsedful il
to turn the rascals out" and evidently
does not care brass farthing about the
constitution. And the fiery leader of
western Democracy who thunders forth
his commands from Louisville between
the sherry and champagne" is convinced
that Democrat may believe anything
else under the sun, but If he dses not be-
lieve in revenue only" he is not Dem
Ocrat.
Now it is interesting TO observe that
this little discussion takes place after
the election. These people first support
their party, and then try to find out what
it is. They FIRST elect a President and
then set themselves to investigate him.
and send ont exploring expeditions to
Albany, and ask each other with bated
breath and corrugated brow, "What does
the man believe, and what sort OF man
is he, anyway Having accomplished
the great feat Of electing the political
"WhatIs-It" to the Presidency, and IN
trusting the power of feur years to So
called party which does not agree with
itself at all on the main question of
what it is for, those people have one COM
fort: they have secured for themselves a
cOnundrum which will amuse thom for
the next four years. More fascinating
and more perplexing than "the fifteen
puzzle; more enduring, because not
likely to get settled until Cleveland's
term has expired; and not more interest
ing because all the offices depend on it;
this pleasant sonundrum is to occupy
the attention Of the supporters Of Cleve-
land, and, more or less, of the whole
American people, as long as they have
patience to tolerate government by this
so called Democratic party.

The shoemaker was In a hurry with
some work he had promised to have com

tools and leather and began working be-
side the corpse. About IL o'clock at
night cup of black coffee was brought
him, to keep him awake. He drank 1t
and resumed his work. Soon after, the
coffee having exhilsrated him, and for
getting he was in the presence of dsath,

A Cat With a Tail of Fire.

1t often happens that the rat is &C.
cuse Of being an ineendiary, and many
are the dssI ructive fires laid at his door,
or rather, hole. 1t is said that he gath
ers stray matches from the floor, and car
ries them in his mouth to his hole, and
there, by experimenting or carelessness,
he fires them off to set the building
ablaze. But probably the FIRST case on
record of his old and arch enemy, the
cat, being accused of incendiarism, was
that which occurred last Monday after
noon on o. d. Edwards place. five miles
from Macon, on what is known az the
river road. 1t seems that the small boy,
as in NEST easees where mischief is con-
nected, is an accessory before the fact.
Three or four little negro boys took hold
OF eat on tho premises, and wrapped a
piece of small wire around Tabby's tail.
TO the end OF the wire they attached a
piece of cotton saturated with kerosene
oil. This they set on fire. and then they
took seat on the fence to watch and
see which way tho cat would Jump. Tab
by sat on her launches for a minute or
SO, probably to study out wha' the boys
had done that seemed to them so funny.
Then suddenly she smelt rat, or, most
SObsOhS anu
off at a rate that would have shamed
brer rabbit.
On one side OF the dwelling house was
a crib filed with nay and fodder. Into
this crib the cat shot, but she did not re-
main long. Her flaming tail had igRited
the fodder and hay. and the room became
oppressivsly warm. Mr.. Edwards saw
Tabby as she emerged from the crib. and,
thinking it strange that her tell should
bear such close resemblance to the tail
of q comet, watched her with his back to
the crib that was fast being eaton up by
the flames. He saw her rash into the
crib on the other sids Of the dwelling,
and then saw her dart out again and
head in the direction of the river. She
had set fire to that crib also, and before
Mr.. Edwards or his hands could get any
water 81, 100 worth Of cribs, hay, fodder,
cotton seed, oats. etc., were completely
destroyed.
The property was insured in the West
ern Insurance Company, and yesterday
Mr.. Edwards was in the city for the pur
pose Of presenting his claims, which
will no doubt be paid. What became Of
the eat is not known. Macon Telegraph
