How Boat Without an Anchor is Waited.

w[ [The b1 MAS o pe s and and
handed to US for publication
In the year of ninety. when the Pops were
getting thick.
Their mother, Mary Ellen. proud of her
great clique;
Mary took her Weaver, the people for to
charm.
On their trip to sunny South they found it
rather warm
AS they travelled far and near. her tongue
always left in gear.
Wherever her Popocratic rot was heard the
people cheered-
Her fame grew greater year by year until
she was left without peer
Until her greatness came so near making
Lewelling quake and fear.
That she would frown upon his agnostic
reign in shame.
And to his followers he set on high declared
she should die her fame"
So upon some preconcerted plan. Mary Ellen
was banished>from the ban:
After death resurrection came and Mary
showed she was not to blame.
For when the cursed tricks were schemed- NJ.
E. was in blissful dreams,
And by their nefarious concocted plot to
drop Mary Ellen in the slot;
At this NJ. E. became enraged at once from
herald adherents disengaged.
She exposed their avaricious greed and
crime and left them floating i'll the
brine.
Then Morrill, opposed upon the scene, awak
ened the people from their mad dreams.
BY exploding all the POpocratic plots and
showed them up an internal lot;
His election easily won, so reconstruct
tion at once begun.
Upon his search for the states surplus to
put it to a better use:
Than to hire wags and cranks to cause
panic upon all the banks,
This is why Kansas securities went down.
which left our business upside down.
This legislating class you see, caused all our
borrowed capital to fee.
And left Il bonded debt behind. and Level
ling has his to grind.
We don't want Leedy or any of his crew to
cause high taxes and paupers too.
We want "a Morrill, moral man-whO will
do for all the good he can.
Who will help us-our confidence tO-and
bring prosperity to our door.
These my sentiments briefly stated Bry-
ans free silver craze cremated.

We would not like to be a Populist
editor. 1t must make a man feel mis-
cradle who is compelled to spend his
time looking around for something to
kick about. \ Populist editor can
not publish anything that would
make his readers feel good-it might
change their politics. They must
look up something discouraging. If
man is prosperous in business he
must not tell it. If man fails. he
must publish it to the world. This is
a part of his creed. \ Populist edi-

ing honest or of possessing honest in
tentions unless he is a fellow Popu-
list. In that case he must stand by
him no matter how many kinds of a
son-of-a-gun he happens to be. We
often wonder if PopuliSt editor is as
miserable as he tries to make his read
ers feel. We wonder if he really re-
jOiceS in distress of his fellow citizens
as he pretends to do. or if the news of
prosperity to some one throws him in
to spasms. If the Populist editors
are anything like their papers, they
must be in misery all the time. We
have thought sometimes it was dis
ease and they could not help it-prob-
ably the last stages of bad case of
worms or something like that-and
we have felt sorry for them. Anyway.
we would not like to be constructed
on that plan. We would rather smile
occasionally without being accused of
being a traitor. We would rather
