ANOTHER SOLUTION.
Great News fr Hie Surplus reputa
tion. Dr. Tanner, the faster, has a new
scheme, which only needs to be told
to convince our surplus population
that there is a cheap way out of the
difficulty of leading useless lives.
One thing necessary is to swallow
the tongue. This will preclude
grumbling at the capitalists. The
great faster said, in an interview the
other day :
'I propose to so discipline my
body and mind that I can take upon
myself at volition, a trineo state,
and while in this condition be bur
ied. 1 shall remain in the grave
four weeks, then be disinterred,
and, 1 believe, resuscitated. Im
possible? No! The East Indian
priests have successfully demonstrat
ed for centuries that it can lie done.
The study 1 have given this subject
has revealed much to me. One of
tho piincipnl cte is to throw the
tongue buck into the gullet and
cause a change of the circulation of
the blood, so that it assumes the
conditions of the pre-natal state.
In that state there is no respiration;
tho body thus becomes air-tight; it
is as if hermetically scaled, and the
valves of the heart are changed to a
condition similar to the position oc
cupied in the unborn child. I have
dieted to gain all the strength possi
ble for thiB great achievement. I
am now prepared to say that but a
comparatively short time will elapse
before I will announce that I am
prepared for the undertaking."
Strikers, too, could thus tide
over a strike, and be as happy and
innocent as a child unborn, w bile
the boss would look in vain for ani
mated scabs from tin surplus popu
lation. All would slumber sweetly
till resuscitated. The prisons could
be run cheaply, also, and criminals
returned to a condition of pre-natal
guilelessness.
Surely, this is an age of inven
tion, and Doctor Tanner is a great
man. The mind fails to grasp the
vast economic possibilities his plan
of suspending animation may usher
in upon our civilization.
When you wish to know if a man
appirea to ersonal power, watch how he
bears hinifelf toward the Church.
Edgar (Quintet.
LETTERS TO THE PEOPLE
III.
I.KlilSI.ATION.
There are various forms of govern
ment, absolute, monarchical, republi
can, the object of each being the best
advancement of the interests of the peo
ple. The Czar of all the Russia is a
veritable (hid in his domain; his word is
law, he is the law; lie makes and un
makes; he builds up and tears down.
England's iiut'en does not possess the
same autocratic power, but she is the
ruler Kngland delights to obey. Amer
ica is most fortunate; we possess a gov
ernment in which the governed are the
governers; our laws are made by our
selves; we have a national franchise,
born with every male person, and
granted to men who have fullillcd the
conditions of citizenship. I IV elect our
l president once every four years, and our
tionaries of the nation are named and
authorized to act. Our legislature sit
ting in Washington is purely represen
tative; the men are the nation's choice,
the pick of the world, educated, trained,
some in professions, others in corn
mcice. Hut when they are sent to the
national As-embly it is not necessary
they should exercise this know ledge, in
fact, they do not; they have a most su
premo contempt for the work which
they were sent to do, nervous prostra
tion being imminent if any one of them
should reail n . ill or attempt to under
stand a clause in it. A fashion they have
when the roll is called requiring their
answer yea or nay, is to answer and
then ask their neighbor what measure
that is. Their behavior in the House
is uniiue; they catch a word or two
now and then between the discussion of
the latest addition to the demi-monde of
Washington, or the merits of the "col
onel's" bull pup, and with wonderful
ingenuity rise at once to ask a ipiestion
w hich is never answered, but which the
inemlsT was instructed to ask by the
"Iiosh" I mean, begging your pardon,
me wnip. I neir attention to business
Is deserving of the highent praise; the
evening is spent in the parlor of some
poker den, discussing legislation be
tween the deals; morning, in bed. Of
course, they call for their mail at tho
House, and chat with a friend; but the
business is so well advanced ami tho day
is so hot. Occasionally the marriage of
a son necessitates their obtaining a
leave of absence; they retire tu their
cast 1c, followed by the sympathies of
nation, and the envy of their less
cneeKy leiiows. i ii"ir patriotism is
unbounded, but their salary is always
drawn, even though some poor rascal of
a constituent dares to get ill.
The tifth amendment, with an adden
dum of ".tints, cousins, nephews, nieces
in fact, relatives to the farthest degree
is religiously kept; "in honor preferring
one another," is a wrong translation
the revisers of the New Testament made
a mistake. They sacritice themselves
and their w hide families upon the altar
of a grateful country. It is touching to
hear them plead for the "horny handed
sons of toil;" their love for humanity is
unbounded, except when oHice is im
possible, and just after election; they
warn w ith faithfulness and in tearful ac
cents of the terrible evils id- Hungarian
emigration, but that rascally agent of
theirs has just hired another batch of
one hundred. They are helpless, What
can they do, poor things? Their respect
for the Constitution is ho much that
they upend months in doing all possible
to keep it from going to pieces, by re
peal, by amending the repeal, then re
pealing the amendment. One Senator
was known to use twenty handker
chiefs in an hour to dry his tears, shed
while laboring to repeal an amendment
to a motion tor a repeal ot a previous
amendment, and two reporters fainte
in trying to write the motion down cor
rcctly. Hut the sanctity of these legis
lators is unbounded, Prayer is olTere
to the Ueity while sweet incense rise
from a score of mouths in the shape o
curses at the length ot the prayer,
Strange to say, these curses are llavorei

A'l honest man was once found in the
legislature, but he died suddenly; he
w.is suffocated in the house. Great in
dignation was expressed once whe
a niemlier was charged with being
brilied, not for taking the bribe, hut for
allowing himself to he discovered. They
argue very logically that the people
must be protected, and an they are the
people, they reasonably conclude that
the best way to protection is to protect
themselves. The avenues and passages
in the House are numerous and wind
ing. Truth entered one morning and
got lost; it was announced in the House
that he was somewhere in the building,
but no one knew where. A motion was
at once passed unanimously that he l
forcibly kept out of the sacred precincts
of the House; he was, and history gives
no record of his being seen anywhere
about the halls.of our legislature from
that day. NKMESIS.
