Anomalies" In ths last instalnlent Of

said every intelligent and rejecting
citizen must admit and regret; which is

Il is admitted, without regret, thgt
every coed citizen, whatever MS rcli-

evils under every government is q fact
10 patenI that il does not taks the psD
of Reader" 10 unfold.
.'.Sut the question is, what are We
going to do apout it"' asks the '.fsaAd-
er."
! Well, ! don't know what you are
going 10 do abopt il, intelligent and re-
hecting Reader; but some people,
when they don't like Lhs WY things
sre done III one country, Quistlv-or
very unquietiy, Rs the case may lie

| is free countrywide as you please.
Are We going 70 SIT quietly and
nurse our hands and DO notnisg?"
Well, really, Header" that ig z
stuaner. There is no objection 10 that
Or you might, when tired Of nursing
your hands, 60 20 some quiet spot and
start little nursery Of your OWL; il
would doubtless mitigate, Or eradicate,
or eHaporaie, or eliminate the anomalies
of our situ&Iien.
'.Do We expect to get rid of Iillman-
ism and ali lis attendant evils Of STRIFE
and bleooshed by sitting quietly
a-sLraddle of the fence, undecided on
which side to get down?''
| About that, ..Reader," ," ii makes very
little difference which hids you get
down on-the only trouble would oe,
that, being such bigh kicker, you
ungh: fall and split; which event would
| further embarraSs the aforementioned
anomalies.
Would we have got rid of Radical
ism' in this way II lS76?7
| Right here I will draw the curtain Of
silenee and throw the mantle Of charity
over the restraining course Of my pen,
and the only answer l viii allow 10
| that question is, '.Reader," thou art
not the man 10 advise.
In speaking of the neeessity-in
"8eader's" mind-to organize and fight
'.the organization that is responsible for
the depierabls condition Of affairs ii

-Orgsnize and fight the organizs-
ton, (" did ! hear yop say" Yes, and
| fight il TO the DEATH
Well, when il comes to that, my
intelligent and reflective friend, il your
exercise Of prudence and good jndg-
neut, the organization that you want
10 organize viii find that the crganizs-
tien organized will BE- ready 10 fight
your organized organization. The IL

our country precipltatso the late war
the supposed uninteLligent and unre-
iecting did the fighting.
"Rsader" speaks Of the restoration Of
peace and harmony. He wants peace,
| out wants il by the enumeration OF tbs
faults Of the majority and the pressnta-
| tioD Of the virtues of the minority.
! Where is the boastsd prudence, and
! where, on where, has tie good Juog-
! ment gone? The majority mnst Bay
unto the minority, here, lords, we make
our bow aDd give up and turn over atl
Our possessions; re-enter the "asud"

| offer the white fag of peace, but il is
| unfurled on the oiack staff Of war. Il
is the same spiri: that has ever oeen
manifested 10y eertsiu men. We shoDid
ask forgiveness for ever having opposed
them.
If il shows prudence and good judg-
ment for representative Of the iuteiii-
gent and rejecting minority 10 parade

conditional surrender fo- the sake Of
