said 1t is astonishing, at this age of
the world, how many people there are
who possess reasoning powers, men who
have battled along through life until
they have reached the age when reason,
one OF the greatest attributes which God
in his loving kindness has seen proper to
endow sin cussed world with, general
ly adds more feathers to our wings, twill
suffer themselves to be duped hood-wink-
ed, their minds to become unbalanced
by the sweet sounds from slick tongues
enclosed in fronts of brass, by people
who are known to lead nomadic lives,
who are tossed hither and yon over the
world, have no settled Nonresident
want any,"
1t is astonishing; it is indeed. Won
der il Sirocco's pinions don't grow weary
soaring SO loftily, and remaining so long
on the wing? Wonder if he doesn't
sometimes almost lose his "bref' while
in the vast aerial realms of empty imagi-
nation.
"They mix about over the world come
in contact with all kind of people; meet
with life in all of its faxes (?).'" That
is to say these "nomads" do. But few
lines above Sirocco has them tossed hith-
err and yon over the world, making them
the passive recipients of an impelling
and irresistible force. Now he makes
them an aggressive, earnest set of fellows
who come in contact with all kind of
people; meet with life in all OF CD its
faxes (?).' Yes, the "nomad" has met
many faxes (?), but Sirocco is one OF the
most original and peculiar faxes he ever
had the pleasure of meeting. His style
of spelling is peculiarly his own, and his
use of capital letters is so liberal as to
lead one to believe that the News had
run short Of small type.
'In their meanderipgs around the
world they have acquired so great a
knowledge Of the political situation, es-
pecially the silver question, that when
they speak men bend forward, mouths
vide open, fixed as it were by the great
weight OF knowledge oc. &C." Failing to
reach the people with their booze-tipped
tongues from the stump &C., oc., &C."
But just few lines above Sirocco has
informed us that the "nomad" did reach
the people and that it was astonishing"
to see 80 great number of men bend
forward, with wide open mouths, listen
ing to his flow of eloquence, suffering
themselves to be duped, hoodwinked oc.
by him. Sirocco is evidently good
Democrat; he indorses contradictory
propositions with as great facility as the
best OF them. His conscience possesses
the intrinsic property of elasticity to a
very creditable degree.
'They are nothing under Gods heav-
en- but political agitators." o yes they
are. We have it on no less authority
than that of the great critic, Sirocco him
self, that they are 'nomads, and book
agents. Sirocco should not be quite so
re ckless in his use of language or he
may soon enjoy as great reputation for
veracity( as he now enjoys as critic
and writer.
BOUNDS isn't it funny how some
statesmen spring up like mushrooms ?"
Very funny. Take Grover Cleveland, for
example. Only few years ago he was
known only as the Buffalo hangman"
and as an ordinary libertine. And now,
what a change. The whole Democratic
party Tor what is left OF it, pay him hon.
age and reverence as the great highpriest
and consort OF Wall street and step-dad-
dy OF the Democratic party. POUNDS it
is funny"
The 'nomad' does not confine his work
to political agitating and selling Bibles.
He also supplies spelling books and
grammars and he will readily furnish
one each OF these TO Sirocco at resson-
able price. Neither is the 'nomad' given
to fierce diatlibes against those who
whom p the majority OF the thinking
people of the United states Put in office.
Cleveland received $500, 562 votes all
other candidates 6,504,977 votes major
ity against Cleveland 64S,4l5 votes. ST.
rocco's inclination TO soar is so strong
that his vivid imagination lures him
away from the patti OF fair criticism into
dark and doubtful regions. Pope says;
Fools rush in where angels fear 10 tread
1t cannot be foretold what inscription
will be placed on Sirocco's monument al
his departure hence. How would "AmoI
yeritalis vincit" do2
Normal canvassed Sirocco's home
county and repeatedly and courteously
invited any Democratic gentleman in
the county TO meet him before the peo-
pie in joint political discussion. Sirocco
was present at some OF those meetings
but he never deigned 10 meet 'Nomad
on any occasion. But no sooner had NO
mad departed from the county than the
gallant Sirocco was shooting arrows al
his back SIrocco's article is funny al
times; at others satirical; and again
when his spleen seems to predominant
quite denunciatory. Call the poor vic
