SAMPSON.
The strongest man and his three hun
dred foxes and fire brands, is our politi-
! cal, or strongest man. Fox, the type of
treacherOus cunning, that allures to de-
your his Victims is the character exact
of this man. Tails are political deeds
that follow him, and are tied by party
lines; and fire brands between them are
rival jealOusies corn fields burned are
official spOils by which he is fed and en-
rlChed, but in recent elections laid in
ashes, by the foxes pulling in different
directions. Delilah, the harlOt loved by
him, is his supreme love Of harlOtS ana
the prostitution of everything he con-
trolls. The prophet shouts to him from
ages past, you are all like fed horses a;
everyone in the morning is neghing for
his neighbOr's wife :" an awful COM
mentary upon his particular type Of
harIotry. UeIilah, sure enough, has
clipped his locks, has shOrn him Of
strength, and his wind up by suicide,
was the party split from head down,
that shot Garfield; when one hand Of
this puny giant laid hold Of one beam
of the political structure the other hand
on the opposite, and last November he
and his slain went down together; and
hOw the fox heirs with true inwardneSs,
are trying in the "civil service reform
bilI' dodge, to make a perpetual entail
Of the estate.
The cup of this figure is filled to over
flowing. Nature and God jOinto enforce
its lesson. The last pretended head of
the nation went out several years ago,
since which the foxes by open traffic
have supplied. An acknowledged thief
occupies the highest chair Of state, for
whom no qualification for office higher
than stealing is claimed. The adminis-
tratIOnO of your government is the science
of robbery, the expense Of which, in
Guiding legiOnS Of mistresseS, you are
robbed to pay. Your organization into
unit YOU may complete in day you
are fully able to clean your den of
thieves, and take possession of what is
rightly your own, if the motives. on
every hand, that "sting like a serpent
and bite like an adder do not move YOU
to immediate action, then at least let us
pray Almighty God to inspire the slaugh-
ter Of a few more thousands bV eXtOr-
ton, or some other ''jaw.bone of an ass.
Bible figure is conception Of vice fact

figure is conviction and sentence Of death
to vice, by God. The developed fact is

His visible hand Its conception was
invisible to mortal eyes. and impossible
to YOU, so God made that for you; but
the fact Of vice mature rnSWatheS You,
its blossom in highest executive con

meat The devil, by one deal, doubles
the price of your Iiuing, and by another
divides your chance of getting it.

chains are tightning your fetters bind
ind, your women dying, your children
prostituting, and Deity goading you by
all these fires, calling on YOU to wake up
and execute vice This will be the first
act of your Iife-the breath of God
breathed in your form of clay hitherto
you have only existed. Life in chains,
life ensIavcd. life degraded, life debased
