TIME FOR A CHANGE.

In the good old days of Democracy
and Whiggery it was allowable for
men to differ, and those differences
were regarded with respect. Political
campaigns were conducted on a high
plane. We had no charges of intimi-
dation of ballot box stufing, of false
counts and false returns of votes, of
buying or selling votes, and no ostra-
cism or prescription on account of po-
litical differences. We enter our ear
nest plea for a return to the high, man
ly and generous position between DO.
litical opponents and parties of the old
time. A new condition is upon us.
The people are thinking and acting for
themselves as never before. A spirit
of brave and manly independence is
abroad in the land. It is gathering
power and volume every day. Their
loud protest against wrong, their wall
of distress, their righteous demand for
justice cannot and will not be silenced
by unreasonable opposition, or by bit
ter denunciation and unjust persecu-
ton. They are neither carpet bag,
gers" o "scalawags," nor ''niggers."
But gentlemen of the Democratic par
ty, they r gentlemen and patriots,
they are flesh of your flesh, blood OF
your blood and spirit of your spirit. To
treat them as carpet baggers" or
scalawags" willnot conduce to the pub

Indian. Buy Meat for the brand.

\ dealer down ON the desert on his
last trip to the city for supplies found n
new brand of canned meat which bore a
high colored designation of two lions
rampant. in token that it was of tire
"lion brand" This. he thought, would
be just the thing for his Indian custom
ers, and he laid i'll n large supply. fancy
ing that the gaudy labels would induce
an immense demand At first he sold
quite a quantity of the meat. but soon
noticed that there was no further de-
mand therefor No Indian who had
bought IA can ever called for another.
He was puzzled To account for this,
and he opened and ate several cans him
self TO ascertain whether there was any
thing the matter with tine contents. But
the meat proved Ia be of good quality,
and finally, after vainly trying To per-
suadc his copper colored customers to
purchase more of the dclicacy. he asked
one solemn looking buck who understood
English what the trouble was. The
buck put his finger on the picture of the
lions, shrugged his shoulders and re-
marked:
'.IInh, Irdian no like-um dog meatf''
And no amount of talk could persuade
him or his companions that the trader
had not laid in supply of canned dogi-
