July is tribute to Caesar. One
day, with some other insurgents. he
talked by the Pillar of Pompey on
things OF political urgence. He was
just on the point Of explaining the kew
to some government riddle when q par.
ty Of regulars jumped him and cut him
in two in the middle.
There were Decius Brutus, the speak
er, and Cassius, boss Of the senate. to-
gether with others insistent upon some
political tenet. tThe party foreveri''
they shouted, and what with that ter
rible slasher Servillius Casca great
Caeser as well had been run through
"a hasher.
AT any rate, Antony found him cut
up into fodder for fishes, and begged
this request of the Romans, who grant
ed the least of his wishes. And thus it
has happened and shall be so long n
the Tiber runs by the Pillar Of Pom
Ipey that Caeser shall live in the name
of July.

This tetanus, we are quite cDrtain,
has good and defensible uses, and Ill
of its manifestations thus far have
been only abuses. The idea, a. we re-
gard it, is not that it should be the
cause Of any more serious matter than
locking the orators jaws.
You know that we never hear OF IT
except on the Fourth Of July, and
whenever some innocent gets it We for
lever are wondering why. Well, this 70
the fact of the matter, and by Jove, We
are willing to bet it turns ont In the
long run that no one but q lot Of old
wind Hammers get it.
However, be that az it may be,
And get whom the tentaus will,
The jubilant youth of the nation
Will resume with its shooting to kill.
The safe and the sane celebration
| Will suit us who are not 30 skittish,
But the youngsters have got to do
something
To show what we did to the British.
There never was anything safe In the
way the forefathers attacked them,
and as for the saner attainmens, the old

They simply cast fear to the bowwowS
and waded into the affray, and . boy
does not think himself worthy II ne
can't shoot himself, anyway.
At any rate, Jeffries and Johnson
will growl like a couple of poodles and
observe independence with beating the
hair off their mutual noodles. They'll
alternate making the other leviathan
howl for his mother, and if the country
at random is lucky they'll manage to
kill one another.
It's only a plan to make money, de-
serving the strictest structures, for
what they will have is race war,
dividing what's made on the pictures.
We've been pretty mad in this coun-
try for dollars, and power, and places,
but this is the first time we've trafick-
ed upon the abyss between the races.
But not every man can be Caesar, ~
someone has stated, alsas! and in the
due course of the matter somebody
must lie in the grass It's hard on
strenuous nation, afflicting us all in
Iway, but WEI look on the brighter
side of it, and conclude it is good Tor

fifteen thousand bankers merchants and others
