Democratic papers are jubiIant at
the manifest dissatisfaction Of the
Farmers Alliance with The republican
party and are counting on a clean
sweep for democracy through the aid
Of this organization. Don't be too
fresh gentlemen: if you held the reins
of government we should be after
your scalp just as we are now after
that Of your republican ally. Both
parties are owned body and soul by
capitalists and corporations in this
world, and satan has mortgage on
them and their masters in the next.
Honest men and honest measures are
what the farmers are looking for just
now, and these are scarce among the
leading characters Of the old parties.
Republican defeat does not mean
democratic victory by iugfull, and
all this democratic hilarity in view OF
prospective loaves and fishes is just
the least bit previous.

to the credit system. The people OF

TiREsoME PEOPLE.

They Arc Altogether Too Numerous and
You Can't Avoid Them.
In going about the city the same tire
some people are encountered everywhere
The man who at all times and upon all
occasions makes puns and does most OF
the laughing himself, is exceedingly
tiresome. He is closely related to the
man who has always got good story to
tell and is bound to tell II, no matter
how violently it may clash with the sub
ject of conversation in the group Of peo-
pie to whom the story is told.
That ELUSIVE person who, when he
meets you, squeezes your hand until he
nearly dislocates bone and shakes it
until your arm aches to the shoulder,
he, too, is wesriness to the flesh.
When you see him coming You are apt
to dart down side street or get into the
lee Of some building until he has passed.
The person who in the hurry and
hustle of business and at other inappro-
pirate times talks religion is apt to make
you very, very tired. He is almost al
ways super-sanctimoniou person who
conveys the impression that to be relig-
ious is to be sad, whereas the person
who is religious from conviction must Of
necessity be joyous
The fond mammas and no less doting
papss who are always telling Of the cute
things their children have said and OF
the remarkable things they have done.
these make you tired also. They talk
right along without stopping, and give
you no chance to say word regarding
the prodigies that there may be In your
own family, and when they have reeled
of variety Of stories regarding their
juvenile offspring they commence. upon
the various diseases which they have
had, and how the doctor treated them,
and how they finally survived the treat
ment.
People who always have Z grievance,
whose corns are always being stepped
on by somebody, and who seem to ex.
pect you to rise in your might and strike
the sggressors while they look on; men
who 'scarry their hearts upon theil
