Because Pomeroy went to Chicago to
superintend the shipment Of . bull. it
was no reason why he should go to bel
lowing and launching bulls sg,inst Sc
cret societies.
Pomeroy said the secret aocieties had
.t.ken away the Lprd. and he knew not
where TO 6nd Him. Ii 10 donbiless true
enough that Pomeroy doesn't know
where to end the Lord. buf it il because
be has not travelled in the right direction.
Pomaroy's constitutional opposition
to secrecy. explains one historical incl
dent. II accounts for his having crept
under honse at Lawrence. 10 show the
Border Rufiisns where the Free State
cannon was secreted.
Pomeroy's opposition to secrecy has
no, inespacitatsd him for secretins d.
vers little subsidies.
Pomeroy intimstss that he hes been
opposed to Masonry from infancy. Did
be never edo his business on tho square?"
Notwithstanding Pomsfoy's dislike Of
Masonry. be will 6nd his level at the ex-
piration Of bic Senstorial term.
We think We understand Pomeroy's
hatred of Old Fellowship. II arises
from . matter of rivalry. The goat is
excessively fond Of beans.
Since our pious Kansas Senator has
undertaken to lead holy crusade sgsins,
the Masonic Knights, be deserves the ii.
tie Of SsIadin II.
We are not at oil surprised thst Pom
eroy should denounce the gala Of that
branch Of secret societies known as Sons
Of Malta; for he could not belong to the
order for want Of the "rcgalia" and
Scrolls
There is one secret society thst Pome.
roy should not oppose-the Order Of
Red Men. 1t is . sort Of Iudiau Ring.
Pomery seems to have an especisl an
tips,by to Masonic resslis and emblems.
He is only mad because: while adopting
the trowel. the level and, the sqnsrs. they
have rejected the monkey wrench.
Is it not selfish 10 Pomsroy to de-
nounce secret soeisiies. simply because
he never had any sscrets 4?
Pomeroy especially denounced the de.
funct w-Nothings. That order used
to have q watch-uor.l. "Have you seen
Sam?" lie thought they meant Sam.
Pomeroy, and couldn't be,r the idea Of
secret detectives keeping an eye on his
little business transactions.
The opponents of secret societies think
they have made . valuable acquisition
in Pomeroy. They are right. He is the
pure metal. As Dutcbmsn would say,
be is geh.
Pomeroy has good deal Of Masonry
about him. without realizing it. We
suspect there is in his history more than
one secret Chapter that he does not wish
to have exposed.
Pomeroy says that when he first went
to Washington. all men there were not
oqual; but now. thank God. things have
changed. lie should have sdded-now
they sre all thieves alike.
Pomeroy thinks lightly Of the charity
of secret societies. Perhaps he would
even consider it q personal triumph. il
he were to ask them for bread. and they
gave him q stone
Pomeroy contends, that 1--WE are oil
our brothers keeper" By the way he
has enriched them from his stsalings, be
evidently thinks he is also his brother
in-law's and his uepbew's keeper.
What hss Pomeroy got to say for ss-
crst sessions Of the Senate. where the
Senators are bound BY their oath to se-
crecy? What diabolical things nre
in plsce where Salisbury.
Harlan and Pomeroy are admitted, and
Chris, is locked out?
Pomerov threatens to slaughter the
Kings OF the secret societies. We sup.
pose he Intends to euchre them. That is
he game in which the Knave overcomes
he King.
Funny-Pomeroy going TO Chicago.
md complaining that he deesn't know
where to end the Lord!
Perhaps Pomeroy objects to joining
ecret societies. and calls them unrepub.
ican. because be thinks they would dis
him. He hss -hssrd that to
'ote. they must oil have balls.
my FRIEND" said . revival preacher
o . negro. shave you found the Lord?"
Golly massa." ej.culsted the dsrkey,
is de Lord lost ?" Pomefoy has an
we.ed that conundrum.
In some respects. Pomeroy msy have
round for his claim to being ranked
mong the righteous. He will never see
