A petition was once sent from a
small town in Kentucky to the Pres
ident, asking for the appointment OF a
certain man to the office of postmaster;
| it was declared to be 1.-The voice of the
people" When citizen of the town
hearing of this confident statement,
asked the author of it, who are the
voice of the people?" the author of it,
who kept corner grocery, replied:
ME and Bob Jones, and Bob's old mig
ger Sam is the voice of the people,
and you needn't be so darned par
tik lar about it either How far the
Opposition here, which also claims
through this journal to represent the
voice of the people" exceeds in politi-
cal strength, Me and Bob, and Bob's
old niger SAM" is not very evident.
The local government, the appointees
of President Mckinley, and always sub
ject to instant removal, have appointed
an unofficial delegate to Washington,
with the approval of the President,
but this journal of the Opposition has
sunk it's hook down into the deep sea
Of complex verbiage, and fished up an
extraordinary phrase, unknown to the
English language, which it applies to
hermorphroditic haphazard Matched up
for the occasion to serve the ends of
officials, ETC.
This is an awful charge to make
pointees. No one knows exactly what
it means, not even the author of it,
but it is a good sample of Mrs. Mala
props picturesque conversation, and
quite equal to the frenzied talk of an
old darby preacher when he is at his
best.
Is it possible that President McKin-
ley will keep these officials in office
for a moment, when he learns, that
they have sent a'hermorphroditic hap
hazard as a delegate to Washington?
All true Americans should wave the
Flag at once, and march in serried
column to the office of the Special
Diplomatic Agent and demand of him,
a solemn protest, against this gross
outrage on American institutions. How
can the Palladium of our liberties be
protected, if such creature is recog
nized by the President with knowledge
of his unnatural composition?
1t is critical moment. Annexation
has taken place, the Flag is above us,
the people are swinging into line. But
at the moment of Territorial ecstasy.
the local government launches at
Washington, 'hermorphroditic hap
hazard" unprovided for, and unmen
toned, in the Constitution Or Annexa-
ton act.
There should be quick action. Let
the Opposition go in body at once to
the coast, charter a special train to
Washington, and in a solid phalanx
march up Pennsylvania Avenue to the
White House, led by silken banner,
on which are inscribed in letters of
gold, mo Hermorphroditic Haphazard
for Hawaii
1t is sweet to die for ones country,
but how vastly sweeter to live Tor =.
and prevent the awful catastrophe of a
live "Hermorphoditic Haphazard,' rep
resenting Hawaii in Washington.
