"The Railroad Of Love-

81 got a queer request from a conduc-
tor for a pass the other day" said prom
inent Chicago railroad man in the South
ern corridor. "EIe asked for pass to
one point for young lady whom he des-
ignated as Miss Parker, and from there TO
Chicago for the same young lady as Mrs.
Elliott, his own name. / inquired how
this was, and when | received the expla-
nation / allowed the passes.
"He was on his regular run and did
not care to lay off a day, even though he
was going to be married. He had his
home all nicely furnished in Chicago, and
the young lady was TO meet him at the
station where her parents lived. A min
lister was to board the train there, also,
and they were to be married on board his
train. Everything went oft all right and
they were married according to the pro-
gramme. The only trouble was that the
marriage service was little longer than
he expected and he had to suspend oper-
ations for a couple Of minutes for his
train TO make a station.
"They are now quietly living in Chica-
60 and have very pretty little home.
The train crew furnished the witnesses TO
the ceremony, and altogether it was an
ideal railroad mans wedding. Several
presents were received by the young cou-
pie, and the passengers took up purse,
which they gave to the bride. st. Louis

An Ingenious Libel on Eugene Field.

Back in the dark ages, when Chicago's
one professional humorist was nothing
but an every day "funny man, when his
flights of wit were knocked out by the
cold and unappreciative night editor of
the Kansas City Times, there happened
little incident which showed that the
wit itself was more sharp than fiat. In
those days he wasn't writing agate hu-
NOR and drawing bourgeois pay. The
necessities of life, including fair allow
ancc of cups which both cheer and inc
brate, consumed rather more than his
weekly stipend And thus it happened
that there came time when the spright-
ly journalist always turned to the right
on leaving the Times Office, because on
the left was a saloon, behind the bar of
which hung a slate covered with terrify-
ing figures At last, however, coaxed by
his comrades, the funny man" reentered
his former haunt No sooner was he
within the door than mine host made for
him. The horrid slate was produced.
The pallid humorist tried to ward off i'm
pending doom with joke, but Gambri-
nus was firm.
MY pOy," said he, you vos funny
fellow. When you come to my place
der poys come nit you-I likes to have
you here You can't pay this Vel"
and with a magnificent gesture he swept
the slate clean. "Now We vas square.
You come effry night now."
1t was then that the true greatness of
the humorist's mind asserted ITSELF Not
at all dazed by his good fortune he strobe
proudly to the bar, waving his followers
to follow him.
"Well, Dutchy," said he imperiously.
"Vell?" responded the wondering host.

WV. n GALLA8ER, Editor.
0harIestO,cn, ,JeGerso't County, West Va
Mayer, 1891.

It is strictly and literally campaign OF
education that William L. Wilson is carry
ing on in the great Northwest. The field
the valiant young West Virginia statesman
has entered to SOW the seeds of true Jefier-
sonian Democracy is vast and entirely new.
The New York World thus describes Mr..
Wilson's task:
In the broad regions acquired by the en-
lightened and liberal policy Of Jefferson ne
finds fertile soil in which to SOW the seeds
of JefTersonian Democracy. He urges the
people of the new State to guard we'll their
inheritance of free government and home
rule and to put themselves, Immediately, in
posture of defense against the aggregation
of monopolies which, under the protection
of the Republican party, are draining and
proposing still further to drain the produce
of the cattle ranges and the grain fields to
the pockets of favored few. To this end
he advises them to combine, in city and
country, in every school district and elec-
ton precinct, in those Democratic societies
open parliaments of the people-which
swept the Hamiltonian Fcderalists from
power, which elected and seated Jefferson
and which ushered in the golden age of the
Republic, from 1900 to 1860. The Demo-
cratic societies, free, popular assemblies,
disseminating everlasting Democratic
truths, insisting only upon pure and constl-
tutional government, resisting only monop-
oly and Capitalization, Mr.. Wilson contends
will readily, as of right they should, gather
the people whose rights and interests have
been sacrificed by the party in power, from
ephemera Farmers Alliances and labor
lodges, into a mighty array for their own re-
lief by political action in the only way
which remains open to them. The earlier
and more thorough the organization the
more certain and complete will be the VIC
tory.

4 Democratic Champion.

The Democracy of Washington are en-
joying a rich and timely treat in the edu-
cational tariff reform tour of the Hon.
William L. Wilson, Of West Virginia.
He is one Of the very best equipped men
in the public life. During his six years
passed in Congress he has grown steadily
in strength and influence in the house,
winning the fullest confidence of his
Democratic colleagues and inspiring our
friend the enemy with mighty wholesome
respect for his economic learning, his
keen powers of analysis, his cutting wit
and his ready repartee in debate. Re
publicans who have crossed swords with
Mr.. Wilson on the floor found it conyen-
lent to watch the seams in their armor,
for he hurls a lance at every exposed
point.
For many years Mr.. Wilson has made
a close and profound study of the entire
tariff field, and it was ably shown in the
debates of the last Congress that the De
mocracy had tower of strength in this
able champion. He knows how TO study,
for he has been a student and scholar all
his life. For some time he held the pres
idential chair of the West Virginia Uni
versity, has received degrees from num-
Der of colleges and is regent Of the
Smithsonian Institution, an honor much
coveted among public men. In an edu-
cational campaign, requiring the plain
telling of plain truths, a thorough master
of the subject is called for. Mr.. Wilson
supplies this want.
1t was wise thing in the Democratic
State convention to extend him an invi-
tation to instruct the people of the State
in the rudiments Of tariff reform. He
has already addressed large gatherings at
Tacoma, Olympia, Centralia, and other
cities and the committee has insisted on
extending the route of his missionary
work. Mr.. Wilson will be in Seattle to-
day. The committee, owing to the heavy
demand for all halls during the week of
the Presidents visit, have found it impos-
sible to secure quarters large enough to
accommodate the audience Mr. Wilson
could draw. He has, however, consented
to an informal reception at the Rainier
Hotel this afternoon, and at later date,
if his engagements do not prevent, will be
asked to address the citizens Of Seattle on
tariff themes. The Democracy of King
County extend hearty welcome to this
able champion Of popular rights, and will
hope for chance to hear him speak,

No such Word as Forget"

A successful business man says that he
learned two things when he was Is years
of age which were afterwards Of great
use to him, viz: Never to lose anything
and never 10 forget anything.
An old lawyer sent him with an i'm
portant paper, and gave him certain in
structions. "But," said the young man,
suppose | lose it; what shall do then ?"
"You must not lose it,"
81 shall not mean to, but what if that
should happen ?"
"But | say it must not happen. |
shall make no provision for such an oc-
currence. You must not lose il"
This put a new idea into the young
mans head. Ever after that he made
such a provision against every contingen-
cy that be did not lose things.
He found this equally true about for
getting. If a matter Of importance was
to be remembered, he pinned it down on
his mind, fastened it there, and made it
stay. He said: "When a man tells me
he forgot to do something, tell him he
might as well say, Il do not care enough
about your business to take the trouble to
think about it.. Forgetting is lazy,
careless habit of the mind which can be
cured"

A California widow who put her all
into deal in stocks and was shrunk out
called upon her broker and said "When
will this thing probably come out in the
papers ?' Tomorrow, doubtless" Glow
long can you suppress it?' "Why, |
might keep it out two days, but not long
er." "Only two days? That's pretty
short notice, but I'm hustler when get
my bonnet on III depend on the two
days" On the third day the papers
chronicled her loss and her wedding on
the same page.
