The Toboggan Question.

Some say there is danger it, Perhaps
SO. There is danger going TO church or
eating ones dinner or-yes, dccidedly-in
getting married Nothing that is delight
ful but Is dangerous. The priests OF Mon
troal think that il Is immoral But we
cannot help suspcctiuc that the fault lies
less with the sport than with those who
take part in it there. Besides there is
nothing in this poor world that gives
pleasure that has not been dubbed i'm
moral by somebody. Charles Lamb
doubted whether eating pineapple might
Tot be sinful-for the mere reason that it
was pleasant. And tobogganing w hen
the first shock is overcome and one finds
by experience that there is an "other side"
70 inlinity and that chaos has bottom
IS undeniably pleasant. 30, long live tho

 THE following tilne:y remarks we clip from the Telephone Of Walnut Ridge. They speak for themselves
 The cases against the railroads for stock killing were neails sil com promised. the railroad cumpal les should out their ;ooIishs css about ap,,eaiing every case; they should have good mer for agents and when stock is killed, pay tue wnrth of II, and be done with it The u.,j cts oi Of the companies as we are informed is to discourage the people from claiming the actual value of stock, but that won't work in this county the people have some pluck and ev- cry little case the companies appeal costs them twice ss much as the stock is worth. If the people would proceed under the act of the last leg islature. they would get their at1or- ueys fees and the railroad would probably get discouraged as we'll as the people.

OUR confrere, the Pine Blui Com. mercial, takes unbraee at the Ian guage used bv the DEMOCRAT in it's reference to his position on the tar IT question We wish to assure hlm that we meant no disrespect what ever. We may have got hold of our ideas n style that would have been considerably changed, if we had had the person of the Commercial editor in mind instead of hls position on the tariff. The truth is, the Con- mercial's criticism of Maj. Breckln- ridge, who is the very essence of souniness on the tariff question, hit us So sudden like that it might have knocked us little of our usually conservative base In expression, and led us into the employment of sn i'm pulsive garb for our observations noi exactly calculated 10 please the eye Of our contemporary. The idea of s newspaper, published in an sgricnl- tural community, and eight out oi every ten of whose patrons are agri culiurists, or have business relations with agriculiurists. criticising the position of such strength as Maj. BreckiDridge demonstrated his to be n favor of tariff reform for the ben eft of the lsbor element Of the eoun- try, and especially Of the sgricultu- raj labor element. looked so utterly untenable that it kinder capsized our language magazine, and we might have let our ideas fall out with less care than we ought seeing we were talking in sllusion to one witn so much chivairy as Brother New man. But, however this may be, we want it understood that we aid not intend 10 be rude, and we here take occasion to withdraw whatever was objectionable in the DEMocRAT's re. marks as against Brother Newman as g man, for we have hign regard for him as a man and editor, and al- so as against the Commercial as 8 newspaper. for we regard itss one of our live journals, but as against hls position as q protect'onist as set forth in his criticism of Mai. Breck- inridg-, never. never,, for we are in- clined 10 think that that is as poor and pitifal as ever.
