FROM HARRY HINTON
WALL STREET AS A POLITICAL
FORTUNE TELLER.
Crisp, Carlisle, sherman and Others
Had Their Fortunes Told-where ID
the Seat OF Government and Where
Are we at Anyway?

Are we at Anyway:
We hear that all the farmers down
in Sam Hankers' diggings are going
to start for New York in few days.
Also, Ike Easley says they are getting
in big notion down his way to quit
their foolishness and jabbering about
hard times and the plutocrats and go
right straight to New York and fix
things Now the question arises right
here whether these aforesaid citizens
be the right sort. Need not every
man, because he is the grandson Of
Adam, think that his ideas will be
noticed in Delmonico's gilded saloon?
Some may go and be accepted while
others will be rejected. 1t depends
on the marks in the palms of their
hands. Don't YOU remember that
Judge Crisp went down there just be-
fore the meeting Of Congress?
Those fellows down there exam
ined the marks in his hands
and told his fortune in a jiffy.
Judge, say they, you will be elected
speaker and no mistake" So John G.
Carlisle, John Sherman and all the
nice sprouts OF gorgeous ambition go
down to New York to have their for
tunes told. The other day Carlisle
went down there to drink wine at
Delmonico's. Champagne sparkled,
popped and flowed free as air. The
fortune tellers were happy. They had
with them Uncle Sans man who car
ries the money bags.
Mr. EDITOR: Please publish in your
paper for the benefit Of those citizens
who are moving on New York to have
their fortunes told to stay away. 1t
is no use. They have not enough to
pay the fee. Carlisle is secretary Of
treasury; think OF that Crisp wanted
TO be speaker and much depended on
his ruling in demonetizing silver;
think Of that. They have not money
enough to pay for one smell at Del
monico. Besides, this fortune teller
who squats between two puddles
of water only tells fortunes
for presidents, Supreme court
judges, secretaries OF the treasury,
speakers OF the house, and all govern
mental functionaries who can give her
lay. Tell them it is dull nonsense
to be going to this old bag. for she is
sufficiently amused, coquetting aud
jilting with Uncle Sans boys. Tell
them they are simply nowhere. No
welcome, no champagne, no fortune,
no love, no nothing. The gypsy queen
of the Atlantic fondles her own dear
darlings, the Crisps, the ShermanS
the Clevelands, the Ransoms, and
over her door is inscribed, mo free
man enters here
Mr.. EDITOR: Tell them that also
our government does business in
, Washington city vet, and not in the
City of New York. The proper place
for white men to 60 to have their
rights rectifed and their fortunes
amended is Washington, If they only
knew the ropes. All, there's the rubl
knowing the ropes. No man can en-
ter the kingdom unless he knows the
ropes. HARRY HINTON.
How people who believe in a life
after this, where they will be judged
according to their deeds here, can act
as they DO toward their fellows, is a
strange anomaly. How men, who
build churches and repeat the golden
rule, can make profits off their needy
neighbors, is more than | can compre-
bend, unless their '-piety" is huge
joke. Do they expect 10 have rich
and poor angels? Do they expect to
have angels for servants and for their
selfish profit and usury in the other
condition? Do they expect TO be
among the pure who use their life for
selfish Jam and ACKNOWLEDGMENT at
the expense of their fellows, when
they should lend helping hand TO
lift them up? Has the world ever
been benefited by man who spenthis
life in money making? Or has its
philosophers and stoics been the
= means of the uplifting of the human
race? Your gold will canker your
souls, as sure as there is future
Coming 5ation.
