KING Glow now noble Coe Isaac?
How goes the strife among the common
herd? BY the glitter of the pearl buttons
on my pants, I fear that Joe Frudenfeld's
loss Of state school money is doing us
harm among the people who read. Is
there any show for Joe to ring IN a
deficiency?
Coz IsAAc.-Yea, my noble Charles,
if we can fool the people into elccting us
to Office, and another republican legisla-
ture, everything will come our way.
KING C.-MY noble leader Of the
court singers, did you bid my henchmen
hence that we may cover our tracks and
give the lie 10 truth. l...:. .<...
Coz IsAAc-Yea, good Charles, bid
them hence, but fear many may not
come. They dread exposure and the
searching eyes Of honest tax payers.
KING C.-'Tis well, Coe Isaac, but
how goes the railroad record Of the su-
premc court through my domain? Do
the devil independents kick and charge
my noble legal advisors with favorLism or
corruption? Do the people at Chamber
lain kick at 10 cents on the dollar or do
the fools want all their money back?
Coz IsAAC.-Yea, noble Charles, nigh
ty man of Day, the people do kick
amazingly. They are Ill disnleased with
the robber conditions that exist and fear
they may swamp us before the storm
abates.
KING C.-Craven churls and idiots,
be they, my darling Coe, to expect their
dues. Our hired press are not lying fast
enough. Will our official press need
another deficiency? ....

KING CHA! noble Huronite,yc gods,
rejoice at thy presence. Our noble Coe
there awaits thy greeting. How goes the
battle? Is the Brooklngs nest giving
down any for the mercy shown? Are the

rebellious? Speak man. dread thy It'd
ings for thy face bctokens omen of a
nature Clark.
HURoN1rE.-Nay, good and noble guar
ian of our sGatc. Things tho dark might
be darker. Loucks Still lives and is
flaming the hearts of the people in
Mooeys land. l smote with nay tongue
a lying sneak who said the governor was
drunk 1T the state fair, and knew it was
false as HI, because the English lord
did say you drank no more than he.
KING C.-Brave Huronite 60 on. -...
HuRoNrrE.-Frudenfeld has paid moth
ing yet, nor do think he will. He is II
dangerous man to push. He knows too
much. The 1srookings gang won't divy.
They expect to walk the plank with us
in 81.
KING C.-My noble Coe, is it too late
to scare them?
CoE lsAAC.-I fear so. Charles. Nc
Louth is an old bird.
