Chicago Journal, IAN give tn sacrid
blessin' iv liberty to the poor, down-trod-

solute, uncovered wretches,' says we,
'whin tn crool hand iv Spain forged
man Giles FIR ye'er limbs, as Hogan says,
who was ii crossed tn say an sthruck off
tn comealongs? We did by dad, we did.
An now We miser' BILE, childish-minded
apes we propose FIR to larn ye tn uses
iv liberty. In ivry city in this unfair land
we win erect school houses an packin'

votes because we haven't more than
enough to go round now, but Wen threat
We tn way a father shud threat his chill
dher, If we have TO break ivry bone in
ye'er bodies So come to our ARMS say
we.
But. glory be, tits more like a rasslin'
match than fathers embrace. Up gets
this little monkey iv an Aguenaldoo, an
says he: Not FIR u.s. he says. we thank
We kindly, but we believe he says, in
pathronizin' home INDUSTRIES he says,
an he says, I have on hand he says,
AN FIR SALE he says, a very SUPERIOR
brand " homemade liberty like ye'er moth
er used to make, he says. IT'S long way
fir m ye'er plant to here he says, AN be
tn time a cargo iv liberty he says got
out here, an was handled be tn middle
men, he says, ii might spoil, he says.
We don't want amy COZ storage or en-
balmed liberty, he says What we want,
an what tn oil reliable house Nv Ague-
naldoo, he says, supplies to tn thrade,'
he says, is fir resh liberty Fright off tn

An there it stands. Hinnissy, with tn
indugent parent kneelin' on tn stomach
iv his adopted child. while a dillyga ion
firm Boston bastes him with an umbrella
There it stands, an how will it come out I
dinnaw! I'm not much Nv an expansion
list mesilf. FIR tn last tin years I've been
thryin' to decide whether twud be good
policy an thrue to me Traditions to make
this here bar two or three feet longer, an
manny's tn night I've laid awake thryin
to puzzle it out. But I don't know what
to do with tn PhIippeens amy more than
1 did las summer, before 1 heerd tell iv
thin. We can't give thin amy wan with
out maxim tn wan that gets thin feel
tn way Doherty felt to Clancy when
Clancy med a frindly call an give Do

throw thin into tn alley whin no wan is
lookin'. An 'twud be disgrace FIR to lave
befure we've pounded these frindless an
ongratefuI people into insinsibility. So, 1
suppose, Hinnissy wen have to stay an
do III best we can, an lave Andrew
Carnegie secede firm tn union. They Sc

govern anything that walks"
