DEAR TIMEs:-
/ was surprised on picking up a
copy of the TINES to observe the
pleasant aud wonderful metamor-
ph0se it had undergone since it has
fallen into the hands of the present
management. Success to the staff
of your clean newsy sheet.
In reading the issue of last
Wednesday, L noticed an article
from the pen of the ubiquitous
Frederick ROlker" in which he ex.
plains his "Wandering Jew" politics
and says he now swears after a So
jOurn "amOng strange gods" an
allegiance to the grand old Repub-
lican party. He also emphasizes
his candid concessions by quoting
extensively from shakespeare
where the "weird sisters" work old
Macbeth for all his "stuff" ali! how
impressive? This mystic scene,
where the "black and secret mid
night hogs" revel around the seeth-
ing caldrom with their senseless
chattering of eccentric verse as:
eye of mite and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog"
No one but falsehearted Occil-
lating Macbeth would cOuntenance
or be moved by such superstitious
demonstrations. l fail to catch the
intended application of your scribe,
but probably it is because I am
more composed, and have not an
"uuru'y temper"
l glance hurriedly at the lines of
his confession and feel that it must
be a great relief to his soul. His
words are pensive and penitential
and I know the G. o. P. will tender
ly clasp the returning prodigal to
its broad bosom, and STAY a whole
ranch of sleek aud fat Texas beefs.
His recital of long and wearisome
political pilgrimage is full Of pathos
and Is I think of this poor migrate
ry mortal, a feeling Of pity and com.
passionate tenderness arises for his
Objectless life. 1 can not restrain
, the inv little globule that creeps
out the supper windows" and falls
