ALLIANCE COLUMN.

puncnerS nave got lue DIueS lIoI
away back. Old Pide is dead, old
Red is on the lift and old CrumI
e is barely able to monkey around
and will kick the bucket before
grass rises. The poor widows and
i. orphans of the ordinary, cowman
Y will be cut off from their clabber
this year and what they are to
subsist on is question. Itseems
] that the boys will have to crawl off
of forty dollar saddle and take
ahold of the rear end of a ten dol
, lar yankee pillow and scratch with
the balance of the nesters for a
living, which will go against the
grain. However, there is some
hopes yet. You see this is cleo
ton year, and if we are as slick
with our tongues as we are with
the rope and iron, we can probably
get fat Office. We will go around
among the good farmers and tell
them that we are dipted and died
in the blue and give them a gag
about the yankee, and go home
with him and take up the baby and
brag about its beauty in presence
of the good madam, so as to have
her sympathy and if we succeed
in this humbugery and are elected
when get in Office we will make a
big steal and if Uncle Sam should
catch US in the act, he would ap-
point committee to white wash
us. This is present day democracy
You see it won't do to expose a
satisfied democrat, it gives the re-
puplicans something to harp on
and if we are as successful robbing
the the treasury as we have been
pulling mavricks, we will make
good party men and the party will
stick to US for the more we steal
the better able we are to keep our
party in Office. But if we fail in
this we will try to go ii to the
national banking business, but you
see Uncle Sam wants us to have
fifty thousand dollars as a start, so
we will have to open up a private
bank first, with a crowbar and
and drill and we may be caught in
this, but if we can get our hands
on the money the bank proprietor
will compromise with us on the
halves. You see they are conser-
vative and they think half a loaf is
better than none. They say that
we would be able to employ good
council and we would beat them
out of the entire sum if they went
to law about the matter.
Mr.. Editor if we fail in this we
are going to join the farmers al
lance and try to push the sub
treasure demands to the front; not
that it would give us any direct
relief, for our ranches are already
under mortgages and we have not
any produce to depositin the ware
house and are not likely to have.
We are not built that way, but if
the farmers can get some cheap
money from Uncle Sam we can
finger him out of some of it. In
my humble judgement if we don't
strike steak of luck soon we will
see an advertisement in the News
that will read like this;
Sheriff Sale.-I will sell to the
highest bidder in the town of San
Saba, at the court house door, on
the first Monday in June, seven
dozen broke cowmen.
I think we will see a comment
in the News from the editor after
the sale that will read like this:
The novel sale took place in our
town last Monday, Col. W. r. D.
& Sons bought two dozen to use
as livery boys to give his horses
exercise during the dull season of
the year. He is to be congratula-
ted on getting such useful men, for
which he payed $3.50 per dozen.
Messrs, -- bought 2 dozen for
fence riders, for which they paid
81 per dozen. The business men
of our town bought 2 dozen to use
to drive their delivery wagons, for
which they payed so cents per
dozen, one dozen of those seemed
to be drag on the market, while
they we're the largest and most
portly ones in the outfit, but it is
generally considered that cowmen
are not fit for any labor only as
such as can be done on horseback
or by driving. Others, big fat
fellows owing to their weight made
them undesirable; however, theyi
were bought by the charitable men
of our town and returned to their
family.
Now Mr.. Editor, when you get
those men in your town you will
have to keep the little dudes out
of their way. If Won don't. thev
