cerning what may be the consequences
of such improbable contingencies"
DEATHS AWFUL STALKING HABIT
Life, sir, has it's own laws Fun
damentally righteousness and justice,
infinitely various in forms, are it's es-
sential demonstrated. All else is
death. You cannot escape In awe
of one is life beyond, Mr. President,
death stalks, stern, remorseless, and
solitary, through halls where laughter
has not entered, and silence in sabled
stiffness enshrouds oblivion.
So that, Mr.. President, on the oc-
casion named, my few simple words
of truth and justice scarcely left my
lips when a pampered, silken, robed
schiveling set of conspirators, surpris-
ed and alarmed, curled haughtlly
though nervously their choppy mus
taches and bit their patrician finger
nails in puzzled hate, so importunate
was their eagerness to hurry a pollut-
ed press to work and ridicule the
homely friend of labor.
PAINLESS DAzE LAID TO EFFLU-
VIUM
Surrounded as we are by allure
ments of luxury, seeing hourly the
and glitter of wealth it
need not be doubted that the pubic
are made the objects of It's
enticements AS the country well
knows, this capital city is overhowing
with seductive, meshes which, though
failing often to enthrail are designed
to ensnare the stoutest heart.
DOGS, AND HYDRO
PHOBIA.
Funniest of creatures, miserable mo-
nocarpons, misnamed men, pressed
trousers and all sinking cravens at
the golden feet of Mammon, frothed
madly upon seeing my word. Their
little, weak bodies trembled their limbs
twitched and jerked as if in spasms,
their eyeballs rolled nervousIy, and
their eyes emitted a greenish light,
while the poor brainless creatures
snarled and snapped aimlessly as do
ordinary dogs, as it is said, afflicted
with hydrophobla.
Under wise and patriotic guidance
no power or influence goes before un-
Dridled journalism when justice and
freedom are at stake.
Miserable travesties upon noble
manhood, post graduates in all arts
Of slander or defamation, | challenge,
he subsidized press. The people
know your designs and spurn your
whether under show of ar
sument or more servient hypocrisies.
MPS, FILTH, CARBON, ETC, ETC.
GO, damnable imps of pelf and
creed. l defy your taunts. Tear to
fragments my political career if it
.omports with your execrable will.
'tifie and distort my every utterance.
Not satisfied, if such be your brutal
frenzy, lash my poor form into insen-
sibility; then, if it be your further
pleasure, CLEAN from my stiffening
limbs every vestige of quivering flesh;
lowl in wretched bestiality through
ny innocent blood as it drips through
your tiendish visages.
Drag then, if you want, what re-
mains into the filth and vermin Of
Jour foul dens and burn it upon the
lltar of Baal or scatter it before the
friendly winds of heaven to your bet
ers, carrion crows of the field.
AND THE FLAGRANTE
DELICTO.
Il cannot forego the proud declara-
ion, and | make it in reverential
to God, that nowhere has
he sun yet kissed a spot nor set
Ipon a foot of earth where liberty is
more Indigenous or where by nature
Independence is courted with the same
passionate abandon as in America.
20, erstwhile devotee of gentle, win
some liberty, for shame that the love
If gold has enslaved, has enthralled
your manhood
return, ", return, lfuanL spouse,
o a proper seuse of domestic fidelity
md felicity, for, related morganati-
ally though you may boast to English
oyalty through George ILL.,, know,
'ain and foolish one, that your an
estor is none other than whom, once
lpon time, George Washington flung,
n flagrante delicto, from the throat of
lis beloved country
jALL FOR PRIMITIVE PURPOSES.
Restore this republic, therefore, /
Dray the senate, to her primitive pur-
,oses; moor her back to an anchorage
where justice is deep, where content
nent and peace is as a greensward
inc shore, and where far and wide an
sky of eternal morning,
rom horizon to horizon, seems vibrant
n the rising glory of fraternity and
lnion."
