NEW YORK, sept, ~, 1905.
The political atmosphere is heavy and thick
with the noxious vapors which issue forth
from the mouths of blatant patriots at about
this season every four years. All the politi-
cal journals teen with charges and counter
charges; every prominent man Of both aides
receiving his daily Aagelation with lrty
whips at the hands of hack writers ready,
for a consideration, to WELD the pen in either
cause, and to smother their own grandmoth-

partizan warfare render the sacrifice necessary
We poor fagged-out people, to whom the very
name politics is like the weight of night

with forgery, with adultery, with perjury,
and with all the other crimes mentioned in
the decalogue. But the Lord in his infinite

mob in the same state of mental cecity 1t

folks, to whom life has been heavy load to
carry, will enter upon our new lease with
nothing TO mar the pleasures Of the millennium
but the recolectons of the tedious past; and
for thousand years, without political creed
