SHORT sNAPPERS.

Campaign organs promise to be thicl
this fall.
The Pythian Order no longer enrolls II
b. Potts as a member.
| The bicycIers should be required to pro.
| vide their wheels with bells and lamps.
Nothing on the amusement program for
tomorrow but the churches and chicken
fights.
A few more artesian wells at West End
will make this suburb independent on the
waterworkS question.
| Thirty-siX square miles Of sewers and
| an elaborate system of waterWorkS would
| almost bankrupt the state.
It's great misfortune that some of our
young men are born with silver spoon
| in their mouths and no brains.
Under our botched-up ordinances, a
boy can sit on the river bank all day and
fish, provided he does not catch any fish.
If the new system OF sewers are going
| to stink and smell like those little ones we
now have, the town would be better off
without them.
You can't convict a man for smoking
''hop" unless you catch him in the act,
but you can convicta man Tor arson on
circumstantial evidence.
A little negro boy captured large buc-
ket full OF crawfiSh In the river Yesterday.
As the ordinances do not specify craw-
fish he was not moleSted.
A great many men waste the best part
of their lives waiting for something to
turn up, and putting off until tomorrow
what they should do today.
The recorder very properly fined the
boy who was caught peeping through the
keyhOle at the chorus girls in the dressing
rooms of the Grand opera house.
Fishing in the San Antonio river by
boys might result In catch OF few lit
tie minows, but when our politicians go
fishing somebody catches an office.
If every man in San Antonio, was
arraigned before the courts, who is guilty
OF adultery and fOrnication, Hotel Camp
bell would have to be enlarged about ten
times.
A real estate man of San Antonio, who
is an applicant for customs collector for
this city, says he has strong pull be-
cause he loaned his prospective boss 800,
about 30 years ago.
While some dealers in real estate are
wailing about dull business Jack Daugh-
erty keeps up his advertising, and hard
ly day passes he does not close a town
lot See him quick, if you want to get in on
the ground floor prices.

A MIRACLE.
A Barrel of Wine Mysteriously
Turned Into Good Whisky.

A Barrel of Wine Mysteriously
Turned Into Good Whisky.
"All is not wine in a keg," is the
lesson one fond wife in San An
tonic recently learned when she
sent for boy employed by one Of
our liquor firms, to get him to bot
tie lot of wine, which she proudly
told him had been kept in barrel
in her cellar for the past four
years, and which she wished to
have bottled and give her husband
a nice blowout on his birthday,
which came along last Thursday.
The boy knew a wine from a
whisky cask, and promptly discov-
cred that the fluid in the cellar was
the latter, and that of the entire
barrel full which had been placed
in the cellar four years ago, as
wine, there remained but few
quarts of whisky. Her husband
and his partner had no doubt made
heavy drafts upon it during the
Sunday closing excitement last
wear,

JoSKE'S CONTEST.
G. Howard Harland the Winner

A committee of four newspaper men
spent nearly an hour this morning exam
lining about a basket full of contributions
from the boys. between the age of 6 to 10,
who were competitors for the suit offered
for the best and original advertisement
for the Boys Clothing department. Quite
a number of the productions were credit
able 10 the writers, but after reading and
critiCiSing the poem by q. Howard Har-
land, of Wyoming street, age T., he was
decided as the winner.
There were two others that pushed the
winner so close, it was hard to decide.
The poem by Harry Miller, age years,
was very original and unique, and the
display advertisement written by James
Langridge, age - years, were favOrably
commented upon.

Correspondence to THE DEMOCRAT)
WAsHINGTON, D. c., May II, 'G4.
Coxey's loafers have been driven out
of Washington by the health officer
and much against the wishes of the
people of Bladensburg, Md, five miles
from here, they have encamped in the
vicinity of that village. and say thew
intend remaining there until their
number has increased sufficiently to
enable them to come into Washington
But there are several excellent reasons
why they will find it difficult to remain
there. Their rations have been scant
for some days and the Maryland people
say they will not give anything, and
some OF them even refuse to sell them
anything. Additional evidence was
given of the character of these men
when the agent Ct railroad went to
the camp and offered to give regular
employment to 200 Of them. Not a
single one OF them accepted work The

4CCORDING TO SERVICE.

The press Of the country generally Is
faIIingir line with the observations
made BY THE DEMOCRAT some months
ago. that Congressman are no more ell
titled to pay for lost time than other
people. There will soon be strong
feeling throughout the entire country
that when a member Of the United
States CONGRESS is absent from his post
Of duty he must forfeit his salary toi
that time.
AS we said in the beginning Of this
agitation some months ago, we see nc
more reason in paving members OF Con
cress for time not given to their duties
than to pay an ordinary laborer fo1
time he does not use for his employer
We believe it to be a principle o
right and we shall continue to advocate
it. regardless Of who it happens to hit
The rule Of right that applies to one
man ought to apply to another.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

There is law on our statute books
against cruelty to animals. To say that
this law is violated with impunity by
many who pass as the best and most
law abiding citizens is putting it mild
ly.
1t is not uncommon to see on the
streets, along the roads and III the
woods, crlieities practlced upon horses
and mules and oxen which, if done in
some of the cities where the humane
societies are numerous, would subject
the violatOr of the law to severe punish
ment.
1t is common for men to .iy into pas
sion with horse and lay on the lash
numerically because the horse happens
or shows Il spirit of restlessness which
he has not the intelligence to control.
Frequently men overload their horses
and go unpublished. Some good men
thoughtIessly do this Others bring
their horses to town and tie them to a
post or 4 fence and let them stand a
whole day in the brOiling sun without
food or water. This is dOwn-right cruel
tv. and he man who does it ought tc
be punished for it.
l. has sometimes been suggested that
societies for the prevention of such cru
elites might do q great deal towards
stopping it. Some say at once that il
can be done in the cities but not in the
smaller country towns.
We see no reason why dozen or two
may not anywhere organize such a so
ciety. One man can hardly afford tC
undertake to report or prosecute every
man who abuses his teams Or cattle
but If ten or twenty men would enter
upon it together they might do much
towards preventinglt. There would be
much Tor them to interfere with
among other things the exceedingl,
tight check rein. What will the peo
pie OF Scotland Neck say to such ;
proposition?

RolJoro Cor. charlotte Observer.
In canvassing the fifth congressional
district for the most available and eff
cient candidate to represent Us In the
next campaign and in the fifty-iourth
CONGRESS we think it not amiss to sug-
eest the claim of Person county. While
she has ever been Jealous III the sup
port Of Democracy, and has always
cbecrfully supported in every conven-
ton the partv's candidate, yet she has
not for many wears asked the nominal
ton for one of her sons. But now with
the strong conviction OF having within
her boundaries at least one of the
strongest men in the district and we
think altogether the most available, we
feel entitled to the candidate.
The man whom we would name for
such a candidate is none other than w.
w. Kitchin, who, although just turn
ing his 9th year, has already through
experience and acknowledged ability,
| won himself place among the fore
| most young lawyers Of the State. He
is Il man of high moral character, de-
of sufficient moral courage to express
them, congcnial in his disposition, at
fable, popular and commanding in
manner. As an orator he has but few
equals, as a debater he Is quick, clear,
and convincing, possessed with an I'M
usual readiness at repartee. AS a can
vasser he is very successful. His ora
tory. together with his positive manner
and convincing arguments, never fail
| to carry convection.
He being the son of one OF North
North Cardinals strongest Democratic
families has been thoroughly imbued
with the truth, wisdom and justice OF
Democracy, and actuated by such con
yictiOns, he enlisted in its cause while
yet boy. And since that time he has
ever been jealous in using his every in
Auence TO promote its cause, and has
never lost an opportunity Of raising bis
voice in its behalf.
Mr.. Kitchin's position as a lawyer
and ackEow'cIge d ability as a leader o
men, justly entitle him to the nomina
ton And if nominated we vouchsaft
the assertion that when he meets tht
opposing candidate, let him be who ht
may. Democracy will not be without :
sufficient witness, neither will her cause
know any defeat, either in point 0
truth. tact Or OratOrE.
