A POINTED POLITICAL SUGGESTION.
And what are the political parties of this
country doing for sueh caSest They are
taking care not to hurt the feelings OF the
jackals and buzzards that roost on the
shelves OF the grog shops and hoot above
the dead. am often asked to what polit-
ical party I belong, and l now declare my
opinion Of the political parties today. Each
one is worse than the other, and the only
consolation in regard to them is that they
have putrefed until they have no more
power to rot. Oh, that comparatively
tame scene upon which Rizpsh lookedl
She looked upon only seven OF the slain.

hood this moment are looking upon sew
enty OF the slain, upon seven hundred Of
the slain, upon seventy thousand of the
slain. Woel weel wool
My only consolation on this subject Is
that foreign capitalists are buying up the
American brewer.es The present owners
see that the doom OF that business Is com
/ ing as surely RS that God is not dead They
are unloading upon foreign capitalists.
/ and when we can get these breweries into
the hands of people living on the other
side of the sea our political parties will
/ cease to be afraid Of the liquor traffic, and
at their conventions nominating presiden-
1 tial candidates will put in their platform
/ plank as big as the biggest plank Of the
/ biggest ocean steamer, saying: Resolved
unanimously that we always have been
