How to please women:
The way to please a woman
And never to offend her,
Is to call q slim one stout
And q stout one very slender.
If she happens to be short,
You must tell her she Is tall.
And IL she's rather lengthy,
Say she IL not tall at all.

Pay Your Debts.

like the religion that goes all
around man and all through him.
What Nashville people want is a
revival of honesty. Be honest and
pay your debts. There's too many
men in the church boarding with
their wives. We've got no charac-
ter in the church. Go down town
and talk your Metbodism to mer
chant and he'll tell you that if you
want goods on credit your Meth
odism amt worth cent on the
dollar. If yon go and ask mer-
chant for credit and tell him your
a Presbyterian he'll say come back
here and look at the Presbyterian
names on my books and you'll see
why I'm forced to draw the line on
Presbyterians. They are just ruin
ing me. Next to the meanest man
in the world is the man who won't
pay his debts. But the meanest
man is that old money sharp, with
long old bills and teeth like an al
ligator, that pushes poor debtor
to the wall and brushes the life out
of him and never leaves a greasy
greasy spot. Talk about an hon
est man starving to death they
won't starve. God will feed an
honest man if he has to put the
angels on half rations.
I want to have all the States
abolish their bankrupt laws and
homestead laws, and the like.
The only thing that I'll ever
take the homestead on is my relig-
ion, and | wouldn't homestead that
| if | could do without it.
I've got no confidence in mans
integrity that ignores his maker.
I'd rather tell my children upon
my deathbed to 60 and live as their
father lived than to leave them all
the wealth of a Rothschild aud
Ganderbilt. A good man don't
die, he passes away.
It is just that way and yon'le
telling the thing straight now; the
old church has been gravitating
downward and back SO long that
she's so low down now that the
world would back water on them,
and they can't ditch 1t OFT. This
thing of failing to pay your debts
is a terrible thing. God pity a
man tlat'll ride in $500 carriage
and see his poor creditor walking
along. God pity a man who'll
board with his wife in a $4,000
boarding house and be owing a bin
to some poor worn out woman who
is dying from poverty.
My God, if you've got any such
men in this church disgorge, dis
gorge. We want men to pay their
debts Extracts from Sermon Of

Therefore says the President and
his Cabinet: Go home and tell your
friends, who secured the country
for Democratic votes, that we, as
office-holders, are bound to carry
out the undemocratic rulings of our
enemies rather than the principles
of Democracy. If the President
and his Cabinet are justified in
keeping representative Democrats
out of requested positions in honor
of the Civil Service rules, then
President Arthur and the Republi-
can party were justified in keeping
Cleveland out, as his election was
in and of itself a complete upset of
the Civil Service law. To the vic
tors belong all that they contended
for and won.
This is plain, outspoken, bald
headed truth. 10 disguise it is
cowardice. Fo stand between the
victors and their rights is treason to
Democracy, If those in power
cannot see the point it is the duty
of the Democrats to show it to
them, and, if need be, to teach it to
teach it to them. tits their duty
inspire Congress to report the Civil
Service law, lest Democrats be
traitors to themselves and the prin-
ciples Of they party they sent to the
fare November last. Every Dem
ocrat in Office owes a duty to De-
mocracy-should help other Demo-
Gratis in, and SO keep on helping
them over the garden wall, no mat
ter how high it is, till the entire
camp is cleared of enemies and
Democrats are in full possession Of
their political rights. Let Demo.
Gratis at every town, city, county,
State, national convention, by reso.
lutions, declare that the Civil Ser
vice law, born as it is of partisan
Republicanism, shall be ignored
and at the first moment possible
thrown into the sea.
1t is of itself, offensive partisan
ship, and it is the duty Of the Pres
ident and the people to ride that
law down at once. Just as Repub
licans for twenty-four years rode
down and ignored all laws tina
stood between them and full swing
of the battle axe Of power. W.
helped to elect Grover Cleveland
to the position he now holds. W.
voted for him, but our work doe
not end with his election. Our du
ty as a Democrat is to the principle

ing. Down with the Civil Servic

DOWN WITH CIVIL SERVICE.

Democrats of the United States.
one thing stands between you and
your inheritance That one thing
is the Civil Service Law, than
which greater insult to Democra-
cy was never woven by legislation.
1t is the outgrowth of a Republican
conception, the object of which was
to protect the TANKS of Republicans
till their army could rally, should
it ever be driven from it's central
intrenchment.
Under Democratic rule there was
never such a monstrous injustice to
winners heatd of. The author of
the idea has often told US that the
object of the Civil Service bill was
to provide for the retention of Re-
publicans in Office and the solidifi-
cation of the ofice-holding element
as a power by itself. 1t was this
Civil Service, in its protection of
the oAice-holders that led to the
great French revolution, and it will
lead to one as bloody and farther
reaching in this country if it is not
soon knocked out by Democrats.
Civil Service had no part in win
ming the Democratic victory of
1884. That victory was won by
Democratic voters whose rallying
cry was Democracy. 1t was an up
rising of the people for the avowed
purpose of changing the entire Off
cial list of the United States
When Civil Service was adopted
it was said to be for the purpose of
benefiting the public service; to
weed out all that was not of GER
tain kid glove grade. Now, when
the Democrats have won victory,
and unite upon chosen Of the peo-
pie for an official position, they are
informed by the long lines of Re-
publican Office holders all over the
country that the voice Of the people
is not the voice of the God they
worship; that their God rides in the
Civil Service cloud above the
! heads and the reach Of the telling
millions.
If the President and his Cabinet
do not see the way to let themselves
down so as to be a little nearer to
the voice of the people, they will
be sent higher than ever went the
famous kite of Gilderoy. and like
that plaything will never be heard
of more. Last fall every Democrat
was urged to do his duty-to vote
early and to see that all men hs
could influence voted the straigh
Democratic ticket. There are Ger
tain things that go without saying
As that was a Democratic cam
paign, it was given out, understood
and acted upon that change o
Presidents meant and would be fol
lowed by a recognition of the viii
of the people, and the placing o
3 the favorites Of the people in posi-
ton as office holders. What is th
result? The Democrats elected
President, and he appointed hi
Cabinet. So far, so good. Wha
next? The President and his Cab

WITH A "sHORT" STICK,
The ssDemOcrat's, Park Correspon-
dent Stirs UP the SsSsccOrd'' Man.

"With the. greatest reluctance" the
brainless heads who edit ~ the rehask
OF waste basket scraps sometimes known
as the Park Record, indulge in IL per-
icctly crushing lin their own minds)
article on the DEMocRAr's correspondent
here The whole article is one OF the
most astonishing exhibitions OF truly
ornamental cheek we ever saw. The
idea of the third-rate press boy (editor)
OF Il sheet made up of advertisements,
there is nothing else toadvertise except
mining notices, required by law to be
ublished-and clippings from last years
comic almanics, together with an occa-
81 al deluge from the editorial (?) pump,
referring to anything as "rot," can only be
understood in all its sublime assumption
by those who have suffered, as people
here have, from his flabby attempt at journ-
alism (?). The howl which he raises
when even u "feather-weight, as he
terms us, steps on his corns, serves to
reveal the envious malice that is back of
his weak and watery attack. There is
nothing at all surprising in the attack
that person who spends two whole days
in and about the camp rustling news,
can gather more OF that desirable com
modify than the sleepy heads who hang
about their office, hugging consumptive
fires in vain attempts to render their
dull brains more dull. The Record man
is the only one in the camp that is at all
8 urprised at the fact that we send down
every week from two to three times as
much fresh aews as is contained in his
whole sheet. There is not person in
Park City (the editor (?) of the Record
not eXcluded) but knows full well that if
the legal publication OF mining notices
were removed to another place, the Re
cord could not live single day. An OBJ
ject OF mingled contempt and pity, ever
since Schupbach leit-taking with him
all the brains and common sense eger
connected with the paper-nothing that
can appear in it receives even passing
notice from the intelligent residents of
Park City. We await, as n source of
amusement, the next fling which this
editorial (?) Simple-Simon will feel
called upon to indulge in. G. AS.

worse, II anything, than on the previous
night. One OF the main characters nd.

descend to such trickery in their bust

poor. The Indians were the worst ever

Value of Deem Breathing.

Deep breathing and holding the breath
is an item of importance. Persons Of
weak vitality find an uninterrupted sue
cession OF deep and rapid respirations so
distressing that they are discouraged
from persevering in the exercise. Let
such persons take into the lungs as much
as they can ut breath, and hold it as
long as they can, they will find grateful
sense OF relief in the whole abdominal
region. Practice will increase the ability
to hold the breath and capacity to hold
the lungs. After time, the art may be
learned OF packing the lungs. This is
done by taking and holding the long
breath and then forcing more air down
the trachae by swallows of air. The oper-
alton may be described by that OF a fish Is
mouth in water. To those who have
never learned it it will be surprise to
what an extent the lungs may be packed.
Caution at first is needful, but later prac-
tice will warrant large use OF the treat
ment. The whole thoracic and abdomi-
nal cavities will receive immediate bene-
fit, and continuance, with Temperance in
eating and good air and right exercise.
will bring welcome improvement.-Her

A writ OF hdbeds corpus was issued yes
terday for the purpose of admitting
Henry G. Collin to bail. The Prosecut-

that McMurrin's dying declaration might

were to-day sworn and stated in sub
stance that DR.. Benedict at the time in
formed McMurrin that he couldn't live;
that DIR. Benedict and Speirs asked the
questions and Wells wrote them down at
the time the man was thought to be
dying. McMurrin stated he met Collin in
the dark alley, and in crossing he run
against Collin and struck over him. Col

THE ROOF LEAKED,

Guaranty That II Would Hold
Good for Twenty Years.

The case OF James Thompson vs.. F.
Crowton & Son ct al. was tried, argued
and submitted yesterday in the Third
District Court. This morning the Court
stated in effect that it seems the defend
ants guaranteed certain patent roof
placed on plaintiffs dwelling house TO last
from ten to twenty years, if properly
painted, and it appears that the roof has
leaked ever since it was constructed,
in consequence of which dam
ages were sought On the other
hand, the defendants deny making other
guarantees than given by the company,
but from the testimony it becomes evil
dent, l am inclined to think, that the
agreement was not fully kept.
The Court gave judgment in favor of
the plaintiff to the amount OF $25 for re-
pairs, $25 for damages, and $25 for dam
ages to the house from rain, as against
Crowton & Son, and against defendant
Pugsley for costs.

practice would cause great delay. The
law requires the clerk to set the
cases down in regular order, but |
never knew that the Court was
not allowed to change the order of set
ting the calendar, as it is often necessary
for the Court to use discretion in such
matters. The only question is as to
whether the defendant has had a reason
able time to prepare for trial. | under
stand the motion here is to set aside this
order, which was made on the statements
OF the prosecuting attorney under oath,
II is not necessary that the order be re-
cited, as counsel has given consent for
the trial to take place another day.
