otla long 0 13 g as fis th the car carpetbag carped carpet et bag brigade la in utah confined themselves themselves ia to baiting the young people the process could hardly be pe termed any other than tribulation f for or the church of america the word tribulation comes from the latin word for fiall alaila a thre threshing shim instrument still in use in many parts of europe it separated the tho our wielding in the hands ot a brawny brawn yokel it also left the grain in such su condition that the chaff was easily blown away by a gentle zephyr As long and the flailing nailing was confined to the youth of utah it was simply tribulation atio i a process of cleaning in separating and purify purifying in NEW now that this flailing is turned to the a aged g ed patriarchs of the church it is simply persecution of the meanest mea liest riest and most moat petty kind what object is to be gained or what useful purpose is to be served by chasing and hunting worrying and baiting batting men whose grandchildren are grown it is difficult to see or to comprehend or what infernal idiocy has possessed the tile american judiciary that it does not see the unnatural f eroc ity of its brutal warfare where is the honesty or where is the morality or where is the principle of hounding ho men whose hairs are silvery white and whose relations in their elected society are known to the world for the last half a century now into the prison dungeon or into exile or into a renunciation of lifelong principles that country of dean swifts where horses had bad a government would not be guilty ot of

is philosophically clai cial prevent preventing ng spontaneous combustion in summer he is held under the town pump to prevent igniting the parish laundries this may be bd all f fun un to the boys I 1 but to the redheaded red headed beaded boy it is something 0 more than fun it is simply CRUELTY OF or A diabolical KIND it looks as if the miserable know nothings and carpet of utah after bein being trained on redhead redheads red heads head now turn to gey grey heads beads and from snowbanks to prison pens from coldwater cold water douches to absolute stand and deliver this kind of treatment may drive a few aged men into but it will bring hundreds of young men ID into 0 o close communion with tile the church and with truth candor and fairness and now is the time for the young men and women to come forward and show that they inherit the spirit of worthy and uncompromising parents uncompromising in the sense of truth and chastity for with these there can be no compromise let the young men and women consider the character of their flail wielding persecutors and then ask can they hesitate to come to the front those I 1 teachers and P in utah who are maintained there bythe contributions of the imbecile in the e east ast are productions of counterfeit humanity and such ill executed ones that the baseness of the metal is visible to the naked eye or palpable to the most callous touch

massachusetts ha Is affected affect edwith with monomania of a peculiar kind bind it appears that this of fossilized political senility has hay got into his head the rather preposterous idea that all black men should vote coneway one way while air white men may vote in diverse ways and while all red ted men may not coteat all why all black men should vote a ticket absurdly denominated republican may be obvious enough t to mr air hoar but to the average understanding it will not appear so plain the black man is certainly human and to him human attributes should be accorded ile he is as likely to vote a democrat ticket as any other mr i hoar says that the black man roan is pre vented from voting any ticket but a 1 particular one yet he does not produce j any evidence ot this assertion mr I 1 hoar takes a property view 0 of the I 1 colored vote ile he is under the impression 1 that it belongs to one particular sect and ang that it should be cast at the dictation of this sect come what will 1 mr air hoar is under the impression that he ie alone abolished slavery perhaps this his is why he thinks that a worse kind of f slavery should be inflicted on the black man and require bequir e him to vote what is called t the g republican ti ticket ket air dir hoar acts on the nhe same principle as the who imports young children for lor begging pu purposes rp oses and expects t to 0 profit entire ly y by the their r labor air hoar has another parallel in the importer of chinese prostitutes to the tile pao pad pacific tic coast who after landing them there used to expect tae the courts to protect his property rights in the women if mr hoar helped to f free ree the negro it is to be ie hoped he did it from pure philan th rophy and with the intention of making sambo mentally and physically free he surely could not expect a kind of f feudal fealty like the or til the pimp but from his recent i speeches speech i es it appears that mr hoar expects a kind of from the negro worse than his former bondage SECONDING MR HOAR the chicago tribune says when thirty eight electoral votes and the power of 7 thirty eight representatives in congress are usurped in defiance of a plain provision of the constitution and md a president gets his place by the usurpation of a minority it is time for the he people to protest or else by silence consent to the establishment of fraud as the ruling element in the government of tile the country if this is not a arv for negro disfranchisement it is difficult to tind and ahat else it can be mr air hoars haars audiences and the tribunes readers inight might be inclined to believe the nonsense about the red shifted cavalry of virginia dragooning dragoo ning voters to the polls bolls if the tile same t things hi D s were not said of chicago boston an and gd new york in this city the tribune sala said that in our last election harrison was made mayor by repeater sand un franchised aliens mike alike macdonald was paraded as the red shifted brigadier of the north who clubbed republicans destroyed destroyed their ballots battered their noses and did other things of a strati strange I 1 e kind in fact the tribune wanted chicago governed by a legislative commission and it howled as loudly for the disfranchisement of mike alike and pat as it does now for their smoked brethren of the south mr air hoar indulged in the same rant about boston and new york and howled for john kellys scalp scalo and mayor ens periwig poor old oid hoar it is time to write his epitaph I 1 here lies the old jimar I 1 so solemn and still with stomach quite sore from swallowing a pill made of terrible gore and pushed down by medill I 1 VARIOUS QUACKS the quack bac doctor oc or w who 0 s stands an s on a soap box ox at the street corner and

in ift being swindled A newspaper which vets gets itself up asan as an educator and proves a veritable quack doctor ought not to receive courteous toleration the chicago tribune in an analysis of intoxicants computes that is spent annually in this republic ite lle public for whisky beer and tobacco it says nine tenths of the machinery of government could be dispensed with but for strong drink it says the approach of the uro would be abells abolishing hing the use usef cf whisky beer and tobacco 0 11 this is the paper that calls st john a sandbagger and aad leonard Leonx rd of ohio a stool

debaucher of public morals a seducer of innocence and in flue fine a prodoc tion of general depravity the quack does no harm but the quack newspaper does the tribune recommends a process of

and than ten generations of frog eating the agitation on the thi CIVIL SERVICE LAW is developing some strange phase phases of f thought as well as producing arguments of a most ludicrous ghar phar character acter in new york city the removal of a col bacon after eighteen eighteen years service V ice ico from the post of chief 0 at the customhouse custom house is causing much criticism the removal ma may v or may not be in reality justifiable but what are we to think kho eho who have never been behind off omm official lelal counters when we read some of the condemnatory articles on this removal one new york paper in particular most woefully ully ally stultifies itself in an article on the removal it says A t castoni liouben inan managed agod aged ly by gilam ofil cers under the anse

customhouse m which baganas began as soon as the war was over to stink in the nostrils of honest men and degrade tile the united states in the eyes of foreign foreigners eis mr cleveland was elected ive we thought to rid us of this foul d dishonoring is blot to cleanse the service of liquor dealers and 11 workers and lay figures and thieves and loafers there was a time since the warthen war when a politician in this city had his pointer dog carried on the customhouse custom house payrolls pay rolls at f ft 4 a day I 1 mr bacon was an officer during this state of things and how in the name of common sense is mr cleveland to remedy the matter except by replacing corruption with at least presumable purity als ITIs true he might have re tabled bacon and his confederates and sent in among them some missionaries from one of the christian sects which are so solicitous about utah but if be did this he would have to employ a corps of secret service men to watch vatch the missionaries for my part I 1 do not see how reform in such a corrupt den could be effected except by making hash of all the old bacon and pork regime it is said that the new ew appointee was at one time a liquor dealer really this was not a very honorable profession but it is hard bard to say whether it is anymore dishonorable than that of the person who buys and drinks liquor and considering the efforts made by the republican party to exterminate the prohibition ests and to enforce high license and thus to make the liquor trade respectable and prosperous it is strange why this party should become so indignant at an ex liquor dealer it is true president cleveland might have appointed some reverend and holy man to the office but what guaranty was there that such would prove any ho honester nester uester than the publican the criminal records are in favor of the publican as appo opposed med sed to the preacher as far as honesty is concerned this terrible uproar about civil service is really amusing of course no sane manwill man will doubt for a moment t the he estness lust ness and purity of proper civil service law such as prevails in great britain and ireland and such as ai cleveland would enforce in this country if not hampered by unprincipled party newspapers and conscienceless politicians tic ians it is estimated that the civil service law controls clerkships clerk ships and can any blatant republican party hack show that even one democrat held office among these 14 V previous to last spring the th law provides for the admission of democrats as well as republicans surely there was some democrat educated enough to obtain a position the republicans public ans may say no but they should not gauge the standard of education in ILL the democratic party by what general logan brought out ot it among the old greeks the word idiot meant a person who did not hola hold office one who was in no sense a politician pian iian the republicans pu public blicaus ans dont want to be idiots this is plain civil service law introduced all republicans by civil service law they want all republicans retained if civil service is to perpetuate such institutions as the new york custom

a religious sense and his labor is often contrasted with that of the mormon missionary infinitely to the disadvantage of the former the chicago tribune has f found aund out the secret it says of the
