ELKASAH PROGRAM,
Chairman Committee
| hev bin expectin this for somt
time. The note wuz written by
some stranger within their gates, fol
no man at the Cross Roads, except
Bascom. kin rite, and he only isl
enuf to keep his books. Since he
located at the Corners he he'd to
lern to rite TO do this, and / must
say he hez he'd a heap Nv expert
ence.
The money they send me ] shel
keep for the present, but Ihurl back
their bribe Nv shirts with scorn
Wat is two shirts to me in London,
where they dry their shirts upon
lines on the top NV the houses ? Do
they think | am too old to elm
Am like Raleigh, which remark
ed ''Fain would / elm but that /
fear to fall ?'' Tho bowed with the
weight NV sixty years, | wud clim
the Alps at midnite, were there a
clean shirt on the sumit.
And then wat is shirts anyhow ?
The shirt is the most yooselis NV
garment 1t is not warm, and the
cloth in it is in the way. | wearem
only in Difference to an abzurd re-
quirement NV our modern civiliza-
sbn. They are purely artifishl. [
never saw an Arab, or any other
child of nacher, with shirt on.
With a vest cut close to the throte,
and a paper collar, wat does man
need NV 4 shirt ? Ask the travlin ac-
tor-ask the song and dance men.
Two shirts forsooth
i shel not 90 back to the Corners
not much. | am too well sitooat-
ed here to make any change,and es-
peshly to go back to place wich
hes bin tryin to git shut Nv me for
yeers, and wich he'd no more appre-
;hiashun NV me than to finally sue
,ede. They hev at last assertained
now true the line
Blessins briten cz they take their hite.
/ am glad / left, eff for no other
'eason than to sho these barbarians
vat they lost in me.
| am at present in London tryin
o make up my mind whether to
tay here and becum a English pa
riot, or to go to France and becum
! Irish one. There IL so much to be
ed on both sides that | find in diff
icultto beside. Ef it wuz certain
hat the Irish agitashen wood keep
Up, | think / should go to Paris, |
,ut unfoTchinitly ther never wuz q
rish movement yit that wuzn't i'm
nejitly sold out by the leaders. Ez |
rool, after insurrecshun was fan
led into decent proporshens, ther |
occurred "a foot race /
!mong the leaders to see wich Good |
it to London to sci it out first. /
Ther IL no doubt but that | kin |
make a good thing Nv it by organiz |
ng myself into skirmishin fund, /
II releef fund, or most anything |
" the kind. and hevin the Irish |
ervant girls and day labrers Nv
Ameriky send me contribushens,
'ut when the present muvement I
lies out where am |
| shood hev to 90 to work to git |
ID new truble, and that wood be
trainin unto a American. \ Irish
nan Gums to it naturally, but TO me
wood be a moo eggsperience.
On the other hand, | never saw
,etter material for a party Nv re-
orm. simeler to the Dimocrisy in
Imeriky, than ther is here in Lon
lon. Their is oshens NV material
Iere, Atlantics and Pacifics NV it.
'her is more gin mills to the square
ere than | ever seen afore, aid wat I
makes it better, they are crowded oil
he time. Their is Irish here, more
han ther is in Moo York even, and
he fact that they are not put upon
chool boards and upon the per-
eece force the mint they come
yer, and onto the Board wv
aldermen and other places, the
anne ez in Moo York, makes EN- dis
ontented and unhappy. They are
ipe for movement that would
i've EN- the control nv London, the
anne ez they hev Nv Moo York, and
| they want to commence a demon
tration for the hcyen born rites Nv
very Irishman is a leader who is
old enuf to he'd EN-, and skillful
nuf to organize EN-.
Am | that man? Eff so ther is
Or me patent-leather boots, rooms
first-class hotel, shampane and
Iavana cigars, the same ez the Irish
saders in Ameriky. Eff so, there
! a carriage at the door, with liv-
ried coachman on the box, and a
unkey in a livery behind, the same
z oil men hev who strike many bloz
Or the poor oprest Nv every land.
# SO, there is nights NV luxury and
