But They'll All be Good Solid Demo-
Gratis, and as Splinters Would
Remark
NEW MIKADO AND POOH BAHs.

was a place where daily were enacted on
the stage of life, scenes similar to those
they placed on the mimic stage. Yet
such was a fact, and Hoboken che place.
Hobokenites have always felt a keen in
terest In the Mikado. They had a
Mikado Of their own, I'M as to a Pooh
Bah, and a Ko-ko, and a Pish-Tush, why
they had dozens of them, and could dis
count the Japanese, seven days in the
week. The great throng were never sur
prised at the Mikado's orders, and to i'm
press more fully pom them the snecessity
OF obedience. Pfsh-Tush would frequently
give voice to the following duty:-I
Our great Mikado, ~virtuous man,
When he to rule our city began,
Resolved to try
A plan whereby
Young men might best be steadied.
So he decreed, in words quite plain,
His word was law, he held the rein,
Directors must from trouble refrain,
Or forthwith be beheaded.
Fear seized ali hearts, and thers was no
man brave enough to openly rebel. or
course, there was no reason 10 rebel-why
should theyf Simply because there were
a number of Pooh Bahs? Yet this
little Insignificant matter did cause
murmurings, and now the rum
bling thunder is heard in~distinctly in the
distance. and as it slowly draws near, one
seems to hear, in might chorus, that
touching melody
The flowers that bloom in the spring,
Ira la,
Breathe promise OF merry sunshine
AS we merrily dance and we sing,
Ira la,
We welcome the hope that they BRING,
Ira la
That we'll all get there on time. :
We're citizens tree, keep out of our route,
For all the old Poon BafiS will go i'll the soup,
Ira la, la la, la la.
But when did not the spring breathe
promise of sunshine? And yet the mighty
Lhrong of Hoboken have cause to rejoice,
and the powers That be already see the
threatening.
CHANGE WANTED.
A change III the local government is
wanted. Ask the members Of The oDDosi-
ton why, they reply we want a change,
Il We'll have. Every citizen feels he
owns Il part Of the City Hall, and he be-
comes Jealous wnen sees the one set OF
faces tattening there year after year. He
may never have tried to get auytnlng for
himself, yet that don't matter. He believes
there should be a change, aud
'.He's got a little list
OF some who won't be missed.
There are two formidable organizations
recently organized that will act III local
matters very Independently. The first i,
the Young Mems Club. The Club will
ouly endorse for local officers good, soil |,
Intelligent business men. The orgaulza-
ton is growing, and has membership
from every ware III the city.
The second independent organization
Is the outcome of the late Cleveland Ger
maj Uuiou that did such good work
during the last Presidential campaign

power in The spring elections. Ii is ti-
videi into five branches, a central
organization, and four ward branches.

Needless to say, there are no Republic
cans in Hoboken nowadays. Doc KEEL
has turned mugwump, and as he was
the only fighting man in the party over
here, his change of politics has proved
disastrous,
The Democrats are we'll organized.
They know what is going on hereabouts,
and il there is a change, it will be a De-
mocratic one anyhow.
