of their own actions in calling the
Democratic party into power in 1892,
when the motley crowd of statesmen
who came in under that name, or as
its Populist allies, began to disclose
themselves in their true character,
says the New York Tribune. Never
was there such procession of below
ing blatherskites, Illuminating fakirs
and famboyant fools since the expert
ment of self-government was initiated.
The people, who in momentary aberra-
ton had opened its doors to them,
looked at them with disgust, and list
ened with horror to their incompre-
hensible outgivings, their empty
noises and blood-curdling proclama-
tons. It was bedlam let loose. The
cages of the entire Millennial Menage
rie had been thrown open, and the
little child" who was to "lead them"
had forgotten his lines. They would
not "lie down together" They did
every other kind of lying but that.
And they manifested a disposition to
crafty their carniverous propensities
by turning to and eating up the 'little
child"
What lot they we're! And with
what wide-eyed amazement the coun-
try looked on at their antics and list
ened to the roaring, the swapping and
the snarling! All business stood still
to give the workingmen a chance to
see the show. The first eruption was
in Oregon, when the pestiferous Pen
meyer broke loose with an insulting
telegram to the President of the
United States telling him to mind his
own business. Then came Waite, of
Colorado, breathing fire and smoke
and threatening to ride in blood to the
horses bride if congress did not take
the whole world by the throat and
compel it to call so cents worth of
silver a dollar. Then Lewelling, of
Kansas, took up the strain, and with
little less violence proposed to con-
stitute himself the Supreme Ruler of
Kansas and General Supervisor of the
rest of the country. Stone, of Missouri,
followed with the proclamation of an
unalterable purpose on the part of the
farmers of the Mississippi Valley to
cheat their creditors out of all they
owed them unless they agreed to the
passage of Free Silver bill to scale
down the indebtedness. Then came
the unspeakable Altgerd, of Illinois,
showing his contempt for law and his
sympathy with lawlessness by pardon
ing the convicted Anarchists; and
Tillman, of South Carolina, tailed of
the procession with his proclamation
of defiance of the authority of the
United States Government.
These and others of like kidney too
numerous to name came in with the
great Democratic triumph of 1892
They might have postponed their in
evitable fate had they known enough
to quell their own mouths and go
slowly. Even before the Inauguration
of their President, the 'little child
who was to ''lead them," they were in
full cry. Emu]ating their example, a
great pack of unofficial feather-pates
broke loose. For time the Coxeys
and Carl Browns with their tramp
armies contributed to the general din,
holding share of public attention.
and they were followed or accom-
panied by the devastating Debs, who
held the business of the country by
the throat and was not disposed of un-
til the military arm was invoked to
suppress him.
What nightmare it was! And
how the American people, who have
had this object lesson and have been
impatient to get at the teachers of it
for many mouths, have risen up in
their intelligent might and said to
the whole Millennial Menagerie
There, now! Scatv!' That is the
final footing of all the columns OF
figures we have been printing for a
week past. "Scatp'
