PATRIOTISM AND THE POLICE.

pressed n virginian's Eloquence.
lie was trying to save his country and n
policeman arrested him. This outrage
against patriotism should be known, should
be echoed and re-echoed throughout the
land. What cannot n country gentleman,
plain and honest farmer, come to town
and express his Republican opinions even
under Democratic administrations Is, or
is not this the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave? The "Star Spangled
Banner,n our national song, says II is, and
the old Virginia farmer aforesaid will iu-
dorse the sentiment, but the policeman will
not.
Truth Is, our rural friend is q natural
orator Truth is, that after few glasses of
whisky he is more of an orator than before;
and, on the occasion referred to, he had
taken half dozen, or dozen, of such
glasses.
Everybody admired his oration, and APP
plauded II vigorously. Ills audience grad
ually increased. 1t was chiefly composed
Of highly respectable gentlemen, many of
them heads of families, who, at the dreamy
hour of 3 in the morning, were returning to
their homes in the most graceful manner
possible, on perfect line of beauty, abound
ing in curves. Everybody, have said, nd
mired his orations everybody, must add,
save the policeman.
A policeman is invariably monster. He
has no sympathy with exalted ideas, onun-
ciated IN an exalted manner near the gray
of dawn.
"You must be quiet, sir!" demonstrates
the ill-mannercd official.
"Quiet? Never! know I'm In Wash
ingtOn, In the very court of iniquity, and
mighty near the throne, too. But am an
American. j am entirely free, and of all
my freedom freedom of speech is the last
part ! shall resign-the very last part!"
"A great big d" signed and sealed the
declaration.
AT this point the dignitary of the dark
gently quoted: "Lct us have peace.n Bat
the beautiful words produced an effect pre-
cisely opposite to that intended.
"1he gentleman cries peace when
there is no peace How can there be any ?
Look at the state of the country under
this - administration Look at Cleve-
land-no, you can't see him, away of
yonder among the mountains fishing
Where's the Cabinet? Where's everybody ?

Must Come Down.

The gold dollar must conc down. There
is no other possible outcome. Let the cast
ern men put their gold at Is cents pre-
MUM, If they wish. 1t will then be a
scramble between them to get whatever
price they can for 1t. The Congress, an
gered by the conspirators, will, IL neces-
sary, coin billion Of silver, printing its
representative currency, and then what is
the goldbugs' gold good for till 1t comes
down to par? 1t has been bulled. Nothing
in the wide world has risen to 1lS but gold.
Silver has no more deprecated than has
every other article manipulated or produced
by man. What is the goldbug to do with
his gold after he shall have secured its de-
monetization All he can do with it will
be 10 sell II as bullion, or move TO England,
where they worship it. Gold will not rule
this nation long. Its day is done, unless it
