AVE! A. JEREMIAH!
Chicago Chronicle.)

A. jeremiah Beveridge has broken ST.
lence. A. Jeremiah Beveridge has
spoken. A. jeremiah Beveridge has
entranced a listening senate and the
oratOrical scepter has forever passed
away from Robertus Gyascutus
Cousins, of Upton, Cedar county, Iowa.
Robertus Gyascutus cousins is no lon
ger beuce high. A jeremiah Beyeridge
bears the palm Hlone. There is no ora
tor but him.
OF course it was not our privilege to
listen to the impassioned eloquence of
A. Jeremiah Beveridge, long distance
telephone rates being too high for in
dulgence in even such pleasure. But
we can imagine how the majestic
periods doomed and hummed and rolled
and bumped into the vaulted ceiling
while RObertus Gyascutus Cousins,
crouching in dark corner of the gal
lery, writhed and groaned like a man
who was taking jalap in the relization
that the appellative Dennis was be-
ing fixed to his cognomen by the peer
less rhetorician from the banks of the
Wabash, where the sun shines brightly
and orators sprout fifteen to the hill.
We can imagine how the parenthetical
legs of A. jeremiah Beveridge, though
i'll, adapted to the task of heading off
swine in a lane, bore him up and down
the aisles like a cyclone which has
picked up phonograPh factory-how
A. jeremiah Beveridge pleaded, COM
manded and argued by turns and finally
sank into his seat, his vital forces al
most spent, yet serenely happy in the
knowlege that he had saved his
| country.
All these things we can imagine as
we read the burning words of A. Jere-
miah Beveridge, only a portion of
which could be transmitted by tele-
graph owing to the danger of render
ing the wires red-hot. We can imagine
A. jeremiah Beveridge apostrophizing
the Old Flag, and, in the manner of our
noble executive, demanding, who
would tear from that sacred banner the
glorious legend of a single battle where
1T has waved on land or ea?"-breath-
ing fiercely through his nose and glar-
ing around as he paused for a reply.
We can imagine him holding up the
traitorous Aguinaldo to the scorn and
derision of the world. We can imagine
him disclosing his confidential rela-
tions with the Almighty and telling the
senate just what Providence has de-
| designed us TO DO. GOD has made us
the master organizers of the world"
thundered A. jeremiah Beveridge
ito establish systems where chaos
reigns. He has given us the spirit OF
progress to overwhelm the forces of re-
action He has made us adopts In
government that we may administer
government among savages and senile
peoples"
The inspired words of A. Jeremiah
Beveridge, respecting our Divine mis-
sion, have but one counterpart and
that is to be found in the observations
of Rev. Mr.. Chadband to the Snagsbys
and the boy Joe. II am a harvest
laborer," declared the reverend gentle.

you are delivered over unto me and are

my hands. May 1 use 1t too your ad

toe your welfare, toe your enrichment
