me TO Austin. But Of al the abcm'
Unable booze lighters God ever made,
the measIey cuss who loads up 70 the
top hoop on Niger whiskey and then
crawls aboard . railroad train hell
bent on harassing the passenger,
gets the fruit cake.
II ! ever 10 to the Legislature ]
will introduce bill making such an
offence criminal. 1t ought 10 be.
There are plenty Of places where
fellow can soak his hide In bug Juice,
without disturbing women and child
rem aud those who have no more
sense than TODD such . thing should be
kept on reservation like snake
eating Indians.
Just a few days ago ] saw "tuff''
get on Sante Pe train, bound for
the west. and he had blood In his
eye and cockleburs in his hair. Jesse
James wonId have wilted down like a
bean vine after killing frost at mere
glance into the fellows desperate
countenance. Bad, why, the holy
Moses, he was so bad that his shadow
would make the average Texas
sheriff shake like he was In the throes
of n Brazos bottom ague. actually
expected every minute to see him
shoot holes Ia the top Of the car to
let all the stars shine through, and I
wanted TO crawl down In the .sspit-
toon." But TO my happy surprise
the new day found that wild man
from Borneo down with his head
under him, and peace. sweet peace,
lowering over the car.
/ thought TO myself show the
terrible has ceased to troubIer' |
could have whipped the wretch then
with the tail feather Of . turkey.
He had already had his nights how.
and was as docile as lamb.
Every railroad conductor ought 70
be a peace officer. compelled TO
guard his train against such cattle.
A drunken wretch has no more
business In car where decent folxs
are compelled TO ride that . long
horned steer has in funeral process
sion. They are offensive in smell,
looks and language. II . fellow
wants to roost on the rim of q beer
mug or camp at the throttle of q |
demijohn, let him do 'er. But teach
him that the travelling public has
rights that pust be respected.
1t is hard enough on . man ~
dislikes trouble and pays for q first
class ride TO have q minx-eyed, foul
breathed fool stumbling over him
and filling the air with the smell Of
bad liquor and the din Of rip roaring
oaths, but 1t Is a thousand times
worse upon the ladies who are often
times compelled TO 60 alone. II the
railroads are required to handle such
traffic they should be forced TO load
the animals on regular stock cars or
provide two hundred pound Irish
slugger for each train To beep order.
1t is = shame and disgrace on our
country that the sweet and amiable
womanhood, which Is our pride and
glory, should be humiliated in such
q gay.
We need Law with teeth or con
ductor with big stuck, TO correct
this evil. You cannot appeal to the
manhood Of wculd-be tough for he
has no such thing. That creature
who IL 90 foul - TO curse 10 the
presence Of ladies, or to stick his
bloa'ed mug In smelling distance Of
them while drunk. is a. short on
pride rs Michigan Negro on Dem
cratic doctrine, and should be han
died accordingly.
| am far from being q fanatic,
wanting TO revive the old blue laws
That word freedom sounds good to
me and am opposed to anyone CHS
cling its meaning away. In q world
where birds stag unmolested from
morn till night. where the deer
bounds DER the country Wild, where
every wind chants liberty and every
flower mods lie sweet consent man
should not be prisoner to the mar
row views o. another. or b. bound
