The Loyalty Business.

The Urbans Union tells wholesome
truths concerning the loyalty business"
of these latter days. to which we would in-
vito the attention of the "lOyal' leaders
about town, who have no particular bust
ness. Orher than to stand on the corners of
the streets and other public places, and
denounce better and more loyal men than
themselves. They are these:
l. People who have good Offices under
government" who do not wish to lose
them. and are looking for better ones.
> People who belong to the country
cliques, and having some connection with
tax machinery.
3. People who have nothing in particu-
lar to do. and who like to be conspicuous
for mipding other peoples business, as they
have none of their own.
4. Pharisees 10 religion, who are gener-
ally over age or weak in the breast, or
lank in the pocket, but are vehement for
war, and a good tax On other peoples
property.
5. Last not least the willing souls who
go to conventions ard are fishing for nomi-
nations. end who will tell you that a cloud
looks like whale or a weasel, just as they
are required.
Hem People who walk on 10 deceucy
and quiet before the law, and obey it and
honor it, and who love their neighbors are
bot to be considered as having any part IN
the loyalty business.
