FINE SARCASM.
The Life and Death of Christ From
PlutOcratic Standpoint.

The Denver Road pretends that re-
Gently, under the cornerstone of an
old temple, a copy of 1.-THE Jerusalem
Daily Pulveriser," was found, publish
ed A. D. IA; and it clips some extracts
from it. A few of these we reproduce.
Really they read as if written by
WheelOck and Pyle of the St. Paul
Pioneer-PreSS. How those worthless
would have enjoyed the cruciixion!
And how their next days issue would
have blackened the Saviours char
alter!
IAN effort is being made to create
the impression among the ignorant
that our beautiful eighboring cities,
Sodom and Gomorrah, are not just
what they should be from social
standpoint. We take pleasure in
branding the stories as lies. No
nicer people live than the people who
inha bit those cities. We are person
ally acquainted With some of the very
best people of those cities and we
know whereof we talk"
eff the KnOckemkold has much more
to say about the man Christ it will
get itself into trouble. 1t is such
men as Christ that drive capital out
Of the country and keep Roman inves-
tors away. Palestine'iS comparative
ly new country, and naturally Dor
rover, aud needs capital. Labor Can
not live without capital"
That reads precisely like the old
parties final appeal to vote for Mel
son, to save the business interes is of
! the state.
And here is another:
"A Jew hailing from the town of
Nazareth is on our streets creating
trouble among the unemployed. He
calls himself Christ and most viciously
attacks our bankers and monied men,
A sudden stop will soon be put to his
| work if he does not quit preaching his
| nonsense about usury, Such cranks
always unsettle business and make
| capitalists timid. Pontius PLATE has
been appealed to as the representative
| of the governing power at Rome but
| he seems disinclined to interfere. A
crucifying bee will result if things
| keep up this way much longer"
"The credit of the country is being
ruined by the so-called diciples of the
man calling himself the Son of GOO.
The whole caboodle are a lot of
calamity bowling cranks and should
be run out of the country"
And here is something that reminds
us of the praises we used to see in the
daily press of ''Sleek Menage:"
1.-THE Jordan Land and Improve
ment Company are plating eighty
| square miles of land near the Sea of
Galilee for suburban residences.
| Some of our wealthiest people are
| identified with the enterprise and the
stock is being very rapidly disposed of
among Sunday school pupils and 9th
ers who believe in putting "a little
nest egg aside for a rainy day. We
take great pleasure in endorsing the
scheme. Bradstroot's Mercantile
| Agency and Bumm's Mercantile
| Agency both speak highly Of the cor
poratOn and the President of the
First Natural Bank of Pharaoh pro-
nounceS it above reprOach."
Interest bearing bonds should be
voted at once by the people to help
Colonel Benjamin Guggenheim estab-
| fish the Great Overland Elephant
Fast Mail Line to SMYRNA. 1t is all
| nonsense to talk about over-burden-
| ing the people with debts. We are
| the most prosperous nation upon the
| face of the earth and our producing
| power fully warrants. an additional is
sue Of bonds. Put your (X) after the
words "for the bonds and let it slide
| at that. Z d
1t is said that the city council held
up the Arabian, Rapid Transit gang
for 100000 shekels. The gang is
authority for the charge The gang
| lies. Our council is composed of hon
| est men and identified with all our
great enterprises. Is Such ISLANDERS
should be resented in no uncertain
way.
"We very greatly regret to an
nounce the closing of the Palestine
Servant Girls Savings bank. Presi-
dent Levi says the bank will be able
to pay out if the people will give him
| plenty Of time in which to get squared
away again. We would recomme nd
the depositors to accept certificates in
stead of cash until Mr.. Levi can get
on his feet again. Mr.. Levi is one of
our oldest and most influential citi-
zens and has been at the head of our
Law and Order League for many
years. AS president OF the Chamber
Of Commerce and grand high rabbi in
the synagogue he has made splendid
record. All talk about lynching him
Is anarchy and those who indulge in
such talk should be severely pun
| iShed."
