naturally better than the harbor Of
Calathumpia, and it is quite possible
that jealousy shapes 1.-THE Calatbum-
plan policy. BE this as it may, the
people of Waiting are so incensed
against the Government that their
representative will be chosen from
the ranks of the Opposition and he
will vote against the government
every time"
The President, desired to explain
that it depended altogether upon the
appropriations what assistance could
be given to the other islands. The
calls for public improvements to the
City of Calathumpia had been so
loud and incessant that they could
not be disregarded, and even the
circular road to the top of DEVILS
Sugar Bowl hill is held in allegiance
until more needed works are CON
structcd in and near the city. The
property holders of the Calathum-
plan Party have been eniently dealt
with in regard to taxation, and this
venue, while all the government
salaries and perquisites have been
promptly paid in gold. All these
matters should be considered, in re-
lation to money available for public
works, but he would give a govern
ment promise, which at present is
not lower than 991 per cent dis
count. that he would see that the
blamed harbor of Waiting is attended
to in the course of few years."
Andrew McTavish thought "there
is something rotten in the State O.
Denmark. He cud see nae justice
in drainin' the ither islands o. their
cash, and spreadin it n on the
streets O. Calalhumpia, except the
part that goes into the pouches O
government officials. There's nae
kintra wad staun' that. In my
native Scotland ilka deestrick, and
ilka parish an toon has its fair
share O. government help; an, of
coorse, pays its fair share O. taxa
ton. The fairness O. the bizness
prevents grumlin', an, although
the taxation is oppressive, fair play
an equal distribution max ilka anc
content. How vera different it is
here in thae islands whar the word
fairplay is never heard, an its
meaning is no kent. The hazel sys-
TEN is game O. grab the strongest
get the pool an the weakest get
ma sthing. When the missioners
cam here they shud hae taught the
doctrine o. fair play. an it MIGHT
dae some guild were they to begin
teachin' it even mao. The word
"justice," as understood in thae
islands, is missioner. Here it
means Calathumpian law, while in
ither pats O. the world it means
fairplay. The doctrine central
ization is, O. itsel, rank piece O.
injustice; but the policy is here
pure an simple, in all its ugli-
ness"
After the delivery of the above
speech the lawyers and the agents,
and other prominent Calathumpians,
strutted up and down the hall with
their hands in their pockets and in
private conversation.
Finally Editor Strangcways moved
and Hezekiah Stringbeans seconded
that "whereas Angus McTavish had
rendered himself obnoxious to this
conclave by the expression of GER
tain opinions, he be expelled at
once and without further ceremony"
A show of hands was then called for
and the majority favored the mo-
ton.
Dick Blunt then addressed the
chair in this fashion:
"Mr. President-I wish it to be
distinctly understood that if Mr..
McTayish is expelled from the con-
clave that shall also leave the
organization, and join the opposi-
ton party. have belonged to the
party since its first inception; and,
like blamed fool, carried rifle to
sustain it. 1t has since transpired
that my work at that period was to
pitchfork unworthy men into power
to bolster up church for which l
had no respect, and to provide
power and funds for number of
hungry adventurers-many of them
brietiess lawyers. / have stayed by
the party ever since without a cent
of reward or wish for any. l have
been with the party through good
report and bad report although have
always resisted corruption, presump-
tions bitterness and folly within its
ranks. Il have acted thus for the benefit
of the party in my own rough way /;
but my work has, nevertheless, been
effective. | have been the means of
bringing hundreds of votes to our
side, and have brought hundreds Of
men to enrol themselves under our
banner. Now that the Calathum-
plan banner is in a fair way of being
diSgraced, feel that | could blow
my proboscis in its folds, When the
party first started, it contained men
of determination and public spirit.
Now its chief officers are whining
idiots, sycophants, and calumniators.
So far as McTavsh is concerned he
