bible for Is cents and a bad drink
of whiskey for cents; where we
have men in congress with three
wives and lot in the penitentiaries
for having two wives; where some
men make sausage out of their wives
and some want to eat them raw;
where we make bologna sausage out
of dogs, canned beef out of horses
and sick cows and corpses out of the
people who eat it: where we put a
man in Jail for not having the means
of support and on the rock pile for
asking for a job of work; where we
license bawdy houses and fine men
for telling the truth on the street;
where we have congress of 400 men
to make laws and a supreme court
of nine men to set aside, where good
whiskey makes bad men and bad men
make good whiskey; where news
papers are paid for suppressing the
truth and mace rich for telling a
lie; where professors draw their con-
victions from the same source they do
their salaries; where preachers are
paid $4,000 a year to dodge the devil
and tickle the ears of the wealthy;
where business consists in getting
property in any way that won't land
you in the penitentiary; where trusts
hold you up and poverty holds You
down; where men vote for what they
do not want for fear they will not
get what they do want by voting for
it; where 'niggers' can vote and wo-
men can't; where the girl who goes
wrong is made an outcast and her
male partner fourishes as q gentle-
man; where women wear false hair
and men dock their horses tails;
where the political wirepuller has dis
placed the patriot statesman; where
men vote for a thing one day and cuss
it, 1865 days; where we have prayers
on the floor of our national capital
and whiskey in the cellar; where we
spend $1,000 to bury a congressman
who is rich and: $40 to put away a
workingman who is poor; where to be
Svirtuons is TO he lonesome and, to be
honest is. to be called crank; where
wet sit on the safety valve Of energy
and pull wide open the throttle OF con-
science; where gold is a substance
the one thing. sought oirr-@and God
is q waste basket for our better
thoughts and good resolutions; where
we pay SIS 900 for q dog and Is cents
a dozen to a poor woman for making
shirts; where we teach the tuntutor-
ed Indian eternal life from the Bible,
ard kill him with whiskey; where we
put man in Jail for stealing loaf
Of bread and in congress for stealing
a ra4road; where the check book
talks; sin. walks in broad daylight,
Justice is asleep, crime runs amuck,
corruption permeates our, whole 50.
scial fabric, and the devil laughs from
every street corner.
s Come fto ns, rillies; we've got the
grandest aggregation Of good things
and bad things, big things and little

TO see a lot Of good neat wasted that
way. You can eat each others sub
