may be used; If not, rackets from a

Uncle Nea's Letter.

Well, Mr.. Beacon and little friends,
the great political struggle is over and
Mother Polly, the most popular lady in
the land has retired to her headquarters
and there we may as well for the present
let her rest in peace. Whether her more
forlcnatc children have acted wisely re-
mains yet to be seen. 1t was terrible
combat between her two boys known as
the STANDARD bearers" Their praises
were alike sung throughout the land, TO
the last moment in the minds of the ma
jority Of people, victory seemed to hang
in the balance.
II It be true that the real sentiments
of the people were not voiced, that a
mighty power designated as dollars and
cents prevailed, then we would hold
Mother Polly responsible for future re-
suits. She seems not the mother of old
who would scorn to see her children
stoop below the dignity of manhood
selling their birthright for the mess of
pottage. 1t is below the dignity Of an
American citizen to act unamerican, yet
we see hundreds Of men on certain oc-
casions claiming to be loyal citizens who
stand ready to barter away their dearest
and most sacred rights like EsaG OF old
who sold his future glory TO satiatc his
appetite. If there be so many people In
this great country Of ours so hard up as
TO be forced to accept this pittance for
the time being, thonin tho nsme of hu-
mauity let us hear no more Of Che boast
ed prosperity.
We live in a great country little read
ers, aud If we respect the teachings Of
It's founders we should hold sacred the
rights and privileges handed down to
posterity. When you should exercise
this right, voice your own sentiments
and nobody can blame you for IT, Your
King has not money enough to buy me,
are the grandest words that adorp the
pages Of history, otherwise we are but
traitors to ourselves aud to ox country.
