1894.

will pierce the administration to the

by which If is protected:
Have the sub-treasurers so exhausted
the public chest, that the government has
no funds TO meet the claims of its militia

have been forced down upon some other

tain the aged relics of our hard fought
battles? Why not suspend the pay of
the Office holders? Why not turn the
key upon the corruption fund? Why not
discharge some of the harpies that are

the expectations and postpone the just
