The Democratic party is right in
asserting that unnecessary taxation
is unjust taxation, says an exchange.
1t is right in demanding that the sur
plus revenue be stopped, not spent.
1t is right in holding that the taxes
to be first reduced are those which
bear hardest upon the greatest num-
Der of people-namely, the war taxes
upon the necessaries of life. Every
word of the Republican President
and every act of Republican Con-
gress which antagonizes these ever
lasting right and true Democratic
principles will hasten the day of the
second overthrow of their party
The plutocratic tendencies and mo-
nopolistic affiliations of the Republi-
can party will inevitably weaken it
with the people. The Democrats
have only to he true to their princt-
Piles, united in action and wise in the
selection of leaders to pluck a final
victory out of the present reverse.

"DUsT ON YOUR CLASSES"

long since, l did so upon entering a room
she had been sweeping.
"Did you forget to open the window
when you swept, Katie?" l inquired;
the room is very dusty"
81 think there is dust on your eye
glasses, ma'am," she said modestly.
And sure enough the eyeglasses were
at fault and not Katie. [ rubbed them
up and everything looked bright and
clean; the carpet like new, and Kate's
face said
al am glad itwas the eyeglasses, and
not me, this time"
"This has taught me a good lesson" I
sail to myself upon leaving the room,
and one | shall remember through lie"
In the evening Katie zane to me with
some kitchen trouble. The cook had
done so-and-so, and she had said So and
so. When her story was finished l said
smiling:
There is dust on your glasses, Katie;
rub it off, and you will see better"
She under stood me aud left the room.

Mamma, Harry ha, got dust or his

When | hear a person crilicising an
other, condemnlng, perhaps, a course OF
action he knows nothing ABOUT, drawing
differences prejudical to the person or
persons, l think right away, There's
dust on your glass; rub it off" The
truth is: everybody wears those very
same glasses, only the dust is a little
thicker on some than on others and needs
harder rubbing to gel it off. l said to
John, one day, some little matter coming
up that called forth the remark. "There
are some people [ wish would begin to
RIB, them" said he. "There is MIR. So
and-So and Mrs. So-and-So; they are
always ready to p,ck at some, to slur, to
hint don't know, l don't like them"
81 think my son John has a wee bit on
his glasses just now"
He laughed and asked:
"What is a body to do z"
"Keep your own well rubbed up, and
you will not know whether others need
it or not"
Il WILL" he replied.

by that little incident, and through life

HE RODE FREE.
The Man Who Bet He Could Beat the
Conductor is Now President
of a Road.

Six or eight of us were sitting around
the stove IN the old Mansion House in
Buffalo one night a decade of years ago
and the talk finally turned upon railroads
aud how conductors had been beaten by
deadheads. One man told a story, to be
followed by another, and a New Yorker
finally observed:
"Yes, but this was in the past, before
there was any real system or much sharp
ness. No one can beat a conductor in
these days"
"That's very true" added a second.
"You have got to either come down or
get off,"
There was a quarter of an hour of such
talk, and then a man who had moved into
the circle and remained silent finally said:
"Weu, | dunno. I am sharp enough
to ride ron here to Batavia without pay
ing fare"
"Got a pass, maybe?"
ono, l haven't"
ado you mean to say hat you can
ride without ticket or money!"
al have done it."
as the conductor a relative of yours p
"No, sir"
erty?"
"Not a thing"
"Wel, If it can be done I'd like to see
it. There are three of us going down,
and I'll put up $50 that you can't ride for
nothing"
"You won't put the conductor on me?"
emo"
swell I'm going that way myself, and
I believe I'll cover that bet. The under
standing is that I show neither pass,
ticket, nor cash, nor secure the con-
ductor."
"That's the size Of it. Put your money
in the hands of this gentleman, Judge
Davis, who lives at Batavia"
The money was put up, and next morn
ing we all went down to the train to-
gether. The man who was to beat the
road told US to go into the smoker and he
would presently join us. We got seats
and the train pulled out, and we were
wondering if our man hadn't been hauled
off before the start, when the door opened
and he entered with the salutation:
"Tickets, if you pleased"
"Say, if you keep on you'll be general
manager some day." sneered the loser
when he saw that he had been roped.
He did better than that. A year ago
he was made president of a hustling west
ern road, and is now drawing a princely
salary.-NeaU York San.

foreigner of some sort came up with a
hand-organ and a dancing bear, and I saw
a new idea strike Jonas like a landslide.
The father saw it toe, and he protes-
ted:
"Now, Jonas, doan' make no critter of
yo'self. You jist let that bar alone"
"Pap, I'm gwine ter clinch him. He's
altogether to funny fur this yere locality
you'll git busted, Jonas. Bars is on
cry varmints."
"Got to do it, pap. I'm bubblin' up
like bilin' soap-suds, and sumpthin' has
got to be done or the biler will give way.
Stand back? Whoopee!"
Every citizen of the town heard his
yell. The bear was about five rods away,
going through a waltz, and he stopped his
movements to see what was going Chap
as he came within six feet he rose in the
air and came down astride of Bruin and
grabbed him by the ears and yelled.
america agin the hull airth Whoop!'
1t was IN the middle of the street and
the street was dusty. Therefore l can't
swear as to what took place during the
next two minutes. When the foreigner
pulled his bear off there was a bundle Of
something lying in the dust. 1t looked
like old clothes, but it turned out to be
Jonas. He wasn't saying a word. He
didn't know it when the father and two
others lifted him over against the fence
and got water from the town well to pour
over him. 1t was a full quarter of an
hour before he opened his eyes and family
asked,
"Father, did I clean out the hull
crowd?"
"No, Jonas. You tackled that bar
agin my advice"
