And the who votes tor conscience,

Then the idiot who ohattcrs like an

withercd remains of the Flower boom. During the
burial a chorus of workers sings th6 following
dirgc:
or tho Flower that blOOmed in the spring.
Tra.la
No Democrat now cares thing.
For he played 1t low down on the boys
Tra-al
No Doodle to them did he bring
Though they held up his boom with much noise.
SO that's what wO mean whom say we sing.
Oh deuce take the Flower that blOomed In the spring
The New Mikado contains many other gems, but
we nre unable at present to give any more of them
One slight innovation in il may be noted. Tho
part of Pooh Bah, the superativey proud in-
dvdual who was born sneering. is represented by
copy of The Erening Post which acts the charac-
ter with signal force and ability. The New Nlikado
ought to have long and prosperous run.
