1mpudent Rebels Must Realize
that Might is Right.
THE ANGLO=SAxeN TWIN BROTHERS
Unite in the Glorious Mission
Of Killing Liberty.

The special correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican in letter from
Boston has the following to say on "the
understanding" which exists between
Joe Chamberlain and VIM. Mckinley:
Herod and Plate are made friends
once more; the British Lion and the
American Eagle are out for prey to-
gether, and Boer and Filipino are now
TO be taught that might is right, and
destiny is duty. The Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance is complete; the Sermon on the
Mount is knocked higher than kite"
Qn the expressive words Of Lyman
Abbott's great predccessor); strenuous
ity has got christianity down flat, and
is banging it over the head with the
golden rule. Hurrah for war, arson,
rape and murder forever! Unqualified
submission to anything Joe Chamber
lain and the great and good Mckinley
condescend to ask OF the niggers and
| the Dutchmcn!
Ten thousand rebels sent below!
Praise God from Whom all blessings
flow!
Dear old Sam Johnson, on whose
account l once took public admoni-
tom at Harvard, had a song with
which he regaled his classmates now
and then, concerning the alliance be-
tween two men and brethren Gas it
might be Chamberlain and Mckinley,
which ran something like this:
There were two men resolved on fun,
And these two men were brothers;
Josephus was the name OF one,
Bohemius was t'othcr's;
Now these two men to tllcaters went
Whenever they saw fit;
Josephus in the boxes sat,
Bohen1ius in the pit, etc., ETC.
1t was an allegory OF J. Chamberlain
and w. Mckinley in their present role
OF twin brethren, distributing the bless
lngs OF murder and pillage over CONT
nents and islands OF the sea.
Come forward, Governor Roosevelt,
and join with Parson Abbott and Dea-
con Beefpacker in singing the next
hymn in the doxology OF destiny! And
let the international Congregationalist
council take up the white mans burden:
There were Two Men went out for gore,
And these two men were brothers;
]. C.s initials one man bore,
Mackinley's was the others;
And these two men headhunting went
Like any two Malays;
Josephus drove a coach-and-six,
Nick. parsons chaise
Mark Hanna was the missing link
Between these brethren CORY;
Great Brtain's rank, Ohio's chink,
Were both his love and glory;
How blest are they that make no peace
But wage war that's endless!
May Anglo-Saxons never cease
To s,nite and slay the friendess!
In Satan's old beattudes
We read "Dcspisc the humble!"
If nigger or if Bocr intrudes
We laugh to see 'cm tumble;
Wild wars our Fathers best estate
(Our Father dear, the Devil)
He bids us yield to fraud and fate,
In fire and slaughter revel.
This is the present months mind OF
Mckinley. But there was base traitor
Of the same name, who, in December
1890, Cat Pilgrims dinner, to celebrate
the virtues of the men to whom the
Dutch Calvinists gave shelter when
England drove them out, gave utter
ance to these atrocious sentiments, now
reiterated, regret to say, by the late
Speaker Reed:
"Thc government by the people must
be by the people, and not by few OF
the people; it must rest upon the free
consent Of the governed, and all of the
governed"
That is, if all the Filipinos do not
consent to be bought for $4,000, 900,
and governed by the purchaser, it is
not government by the people. If all
the descendants OF the Dutch Ca1vinists
do not consent to be governed by Joe
Chamberlain, he cannot justly govern
them.
And he must look out for himself if
