BelshaZzar with courtiers feasting-
Feasting-"a thousand of his lords"
In sumptious. riotous living
With Imperialism accOrds;
MOrbfc. Sordid. impiOus
AS that Babylonian king;
As tlagitOus as was Pharaoh
Is imperialiSm'S ring.
Imperial greedOcracy.
AS NebuchadneZZar of old
Would force the people TO worship
An "image"-a standard Of gold
Princes. treasurerS and rulers
Would be asked to participate
At the feast of jubilation
And this Image" they'd dedicate.
In this "grim-visag 'd-war" Is seen
The glare and spear and spleen of greed
In whose vOracious hand is held
Bold Imperialism creed.
When it's Nero reign is ended
If Imperialism towers.
The feast will be of golden fruit
Among BabylOnic powers.
They'll drink their wine and praise the gods
OF battle, of conquest. and gold
Nor will they less one "0xnard" praise
For Porto RicOs tariff mould.
GreedOcracy, as BelShaZZar
Doth now feast with Bacchus and song.
But on the "wallS of the palace
a writing" will be read ere long.
AS all such kings in Olden times
Through greed. from thrones and power fell.
There'll come a time In this fair land
When Daniel dream" will tell.
As from that dream that Daniel told
The doom that O'erhung BelshaZzar,
The peoples VIII interpret one.
Like unto NebuchadneZZar-
THE kingdoms departed from thee"
AS from dream will soon be told
BY Daniel whose name'S-The people
Against our king of greed and gold:
They shall divine thee-as king-frOm men"
To dwell with the beast of the field
To Craze to eat grass as oxen"
Till to the people thou dOst yield.

In his letter read at the banquet of
the Jefferson League at the German
House, at Indianapolis, Saturday night,
Hon. b. L. Shively of South Bend, said
"The Porto Ricsn act of congress is
product of that lust of power that is
forever mangling the letter and tearing
at the spirit of the constitution. Yet it
is but the foam on the crest of the bill
low that tells of the frets of the depths
below. The presidents announcements
that 'forcible annexation would be
criminal aggression one month and
the issue of proclamation In another
so fraught with peridy that the trusted
general of the army shrsnk from its
publication; the ostentatious prOclama
ton of our mission of liberty and pro-
gress among the nations 10 one breath
and the ssnctifcation of polygamy and
slavery in Jolo and bond labor in
Hawaii in another; the substitution of
a secret and sinister diplomacy for the
historic, candid, open, gOod-faith d.
plomscy of the Republic, and the ILL.,
concealed sympathy with the march of
British empire over the liberties and in
dependence of the two South African
republics, all serve to illustrate how
mslevolent is the spirit once smitten
by the lust of innovation and given up
to the whims and csprices of unbridled
power"
