in0rning breaks forth:
We are tired out sick and disgusted with

waiting, shaving, imbecile cowardly policy
of the Government We don't altogether
blame the present Cabinet and President.
They may have done something 10y this time
But if they have not, ii is the peoples fault
They have become cowardy orspenurous
eefsh, niseriy seoundrels who prefer to see
the whole nation disgraced and made the
laughing stock of the world. Universal De-
mocracy is sham, lie. cheat We have
been for near four score years cheating the
world and swindling ourselves with the pre-
tension that man is capable, as Republican
orr Democrat to govern himselt-to con
struct free government and sustain it, 1t il
not So All our Fourth of July orations are
lies, humbug and cheat. Man is only fit tC
be ruled roughly. Some one, a bigger yas

the lesser rascals and greater fools. The
American people have disprcved their tirad'
