MEDITATIONS OF uncle JOSH

A bunch of Republican farmers were
in Mt. Vernon the other day and made
it part of their business to visit the
new Jail. They had read the tommy
rot printed by the G. o. p. editor about
the fancy porches and fireplaces until
their curiosity was at fever height.
They went around and through it.
They called Purdy to show them the
porches and fireplaces. Then they got
Sheriff Woolison to take them over the
ground again. Even then they could
hardly believe what they saw. A by
stander asked them what was the mat
ter as they looked so beat. They
broke loose 1--WE supposed there was
marble steps to those porches" said
one. 1--WE expected to see mahogany
posts and lots of ginger bread on
them," said another. why, l built a
porch on my house that cost more than
those did and the neighbors did not
throw a fit" said another. They all
agreed that the little G. o. p. barker
with the nom-de-plume, A. p. Velvet
had the Ananias Club beat a mile.
They came and saw for themselves
that the yarns of Velvet were the
rankest fabrications like hundreds Of
other have been. All the people need
to do is to investigate and the rawlings
of the G. o. P. barker will be as effec-
tive as a SNOWFALL in the lake that
burns forever.
Mr.. Barker did not go back to the
books or he would not make the state
ment about the court house yard that
he did. If he had education enough to
read he would be able to read the
books and they show that the price un-
der G. o. p. rule for the yard just east
of the court house was $4.00 and now
it costs $3.50 for the entire yard, with
the cost of labor 40 per cent higher
than it was then. Better throw the lit
tie hammer away or use 1t on some of
the Republican county officials that
are trying to spend all the county
funds for new furniture.
The stock holders of the Gambler
bank are keeping Mr.. Cromley busy
guessing whether or not to get after
Hills.
The stockholders know that some
body got their money. They also
know that there were indictments re-
turned against the ones that got the
money and they would like to know
why the trials never came off
Who will get Perkins money this
fall? Will it be spent on the Steam
Roller?
Chief Engineer Dowds is overseeing
the campaign Of the "Old Guard" and
the other aspirant will not get looh
in.
The force of habit Is a peculiar
thing. The post office has been gone
from the square sometime, but there
are many who still go up to the dool
of the old Office then look foolish ant
make a quick getaway
Any one would know that Cox ha!
made good by the way the G. o. P.'I
howl Between Cox and the Progress
siyes the G. o. p. boss is betwixt the
devil and the deep blue sea. The wa,
they howl is good for the blues. Laugl
and be merry for the calamity howlel
of the G. o. p. is now passing by.
Prosperity is here to stay.

When Will
Congress Close.

When the flowers bloonled in
the spring, ira la. President Will
son asked Congress to finish its
work and go home by Iuly LIST
Leader Underwood cogitated
and stretched the date to July 10
and Senator Kern pulled the sug-
geStion along to the middle OF
the month. But the prospects
are no better than they were
weeks ago, and now Kern, who
is quoted most because lac is the
nominal Senate leader, is advo-
eating some sort OF stopwatch
proposition upon Senatorial elo-
quence. Kern is too much of a
Senator and a gentleman to sug-
gest gag rule, but within the
last few days he has said, be-
lieve the majority OF the Senate is
in favor of some cloture. Under
the present rules one perverse
Senator may. on his own motion
delay proceedings by holding the
floor against all corners, while
with the aid OF one or two others
he can demand roll calls and
block proceedings indefinitely.
There are a lot oil campaigns out
into the country that are suffer
ing for want of personal atten.
ton, and political leaders are in
tull sympathy with that part OF
the country which is tired and
believes that it is time for Con-
gress to go home.
