The following to put of tho speech
of Om«w—a Cyclone Davis of
Tsui In tho Hone* Saturday, tho 1*.
“The country to told In glaring
heodtlnet that it to rgak idiocy to ap
propriate money to balld • bridge,
support a pooMBca, clean oat a
stream, or do' any honest, honorable
work for the public; they call that
■pork barrel’ legists tier. These po
litical pelf dealers, these millionaire,
high-toned highwaymen Insist they be
allowed to Seattle the whole Treasury
and taka a mortgage on the unborn
with n big bond Isom, as they clessor
for more loot. Go arbors yos will and
it la war tax the people, last bonds,
got billions, got it quick and giro tt
to tho stool trusts, powder trusts,
Morgan and the gang, so they can
prepare ns to whip tbs world, in
cluding tho now country and race that
Booaesott discovered in 8outh Ameri
ca.
“And, lire, if it vm not for tha
high-eUss good mao that hare ceagbt
this contagion, I would consider tha
matter at an immediate invasion as
ao rapid and retd at raaeea that it
topld net be ooaaidered aa decant aoo
aaaaa. I eaa hardly trait myaoif in
tha had, lent noma unknown, unman,
unthinkable, unavoidable army tarn
loose on tie, demolish oar country, ob
literate otm race, and sow tar lands
down in salt, as the Romani did to
Jerusalem, and hare it all down be
fore I awake. Aad sine* these blood -
curling, soul-rmridbing speeches of
Mr. Gardner, Mr. Mann. Mr. Quin and
others, I want to thank thee* men for
not uncapping the fountains at thnir
eloquence all the came day. If they
had, the members of the House would
have been weeping like widows at n
husband's grave; the marble images
df the patriots In statuary hall would
hare wept Uke a spanked baby evar
tha impending obliteration end total
extermination at this Republic, which
is soon to taka pUeeby a ruthless in
vasion from God knew* where.
That Speech at Qmln's.
"Since the Hun. Percy Quin flopped
aad mads that hair-raising, fleah
cruwllng, 'agonising speech on last
Saturday, la which he raved end rant
ed, puffed aad panted, moaned and
ffroaaed, had nightmares and jimjema
murders, conflagrations and calami
tiss that warn to be Immediately in
flicted on our country by an Invad
ing army from aoma unknown coun
try, aad ronfeased with greet gusto
and geatirnlshea that since he had
read the President's speeches an the
horrors that confronted us ha had
changed his mind and flopped, ha con
vinced me that ha had run his eoul
up into aancttflsd corners of his con
science, baptised his brain fiber in
fountain* at truth aad bathed in co
pious reservoirs of righteousness, amt
been soul sleeping in sweet common
ion with the oMta-morphoadi, trans
migrated spirits at Caesar, Haanibpl,
Mnpelaen and ^oeaarralt and had
changed from a stars opponent of pre
paredness to n rich, righteousness and
resolute advocate of all sorts at pre
paredness.

"I, too, aai is woeful distress over

knowing that Ragland with the big

“Then, Mr. Speaker, one of the
moat dreadful calamities that may
evar overtake us w* an wholly un
prepared to moot. I spook of the fact
that God Almighty once got tired of
a lot of rich, haughty, insolent mil
lioaairoe ruling and robbing all In
nocent people, and bacons* of their
infamy he literally filhd their earth
with lice, frogs, locust* and fllaa, and
killed the cattle with murrain, until
all ih* land stank wtth canton. Tha
foot-and-mouth dtiaass hat already

tha Pharoshs were over the Children
of Israel, and for these Aim we need

“To exterminate the lice we could
have the iteel trust make up 1,000,

and pot oat 20.000.000 am to squirt
tha earth evar with high-life oint

from utter ruin.
“Then, Mr. Speaker, I know of no
other sans and patriotic way to save
ounclves from the frog* end locusts
than to have the steel trust and the
armor treat make os 1,000*00 big
boats, regular Noah's arks, and w*
