Query "Where are we at 2"
The opportunity now stands inVltlngly
open for some learned pundit to stop
in and point out our bearings our pilot,
like Ulysses sherman, has fallen over
board, and it is painfully evident that
we are no sailing upon a sea of waveless
tranquility.
What is patriotism?
Rare old Ben Johnson has defined it,
as it existed in his day, as "The last refuge
OF a scoundrel )" and for our time, we
might add, the only star-save one-in
ambitions armament. The excepted
one being the seductive delusion which
sits cnthroned in the mind of each and
every political faiker that he, individually,
is the chosen and sapient Joshua to lead
the lost sheep out of the wilderness. In
the various, complicated departments of
human actions or belief, it would be
advisable to leave both anarchy and
dynamite out Of our social and national
problems at the same time (this is wisely
Imperative separate, by the widest pos
sible attitudes, politics and theology
the broth of sheol should not mix with,
nor contaminate the ambrosia of the

The charming sisters of Eve have
erected superb temples for the reclama

they doing, or what have they done to
reclaim the abandoned ones Of their own
sex ?-those whom these same VillanOus
men have robbed of the jewel most pre-
cious in virtues tiara, and who are now
the pariahs scoffed at and Stunned by
their sagacious Joshua, neither are we

latent knowledge sufficient to disrupt
Kingdoms or Overturn empires but we

an dau yhters should shun the win,-cup,
hydrOphobia and other minor evils. We
venture the remark that no pure, conf
ding woman can enter the political
arena, associate with-as they would be
compelled to do-intriguers, self-con-
fessed libertines, whiskey guzzlers and
still keep her original purity. Eve

The farmers alliance and GideOn's
band preached up a crusade against a few
supposed, and a host of imaginary evils :;
and not being qualified either mentally,
morally or physically to build their airy
structure on the party's platform, they
called in Mother Kansas Lease to act as
chief architect and fabricatOr. The re-
suits are known to all men-tariff on
whale blubber has run that article out of
the market, thus placing the inhabitants
Of Labrador on the list of mendicants
the hitherto docile, peaceable kamchat-
knns on the warpath, owing to the ex
cessive upward tendencies in the price of
seal Chitterlings-their national diet; and
Pefler, a coadjutor in the nefarious bust
ness, ~monkeying with the stability of our
monetary system!
Colonel Job lIardluck now sits in the
corner Of nights, nursing the squalling
heir of his miSfortunes while the good
madam attends q political caucus, and
silently but earnestly prays that the earth

spouse included.
