NO. 11.
At length. it weintil tli ?t I fouti 1 myse fin nn*
other gre.it crowd on the occasion of what, I
believe tlicy calle I the 137th anniversary of the
.Vin'nun in mbiiinn*. or xntiiHtliing like that.?
Every man. I thought, had on a re 1 shirt, with
brass but tone , also a peculiar appendage hanging
fiom the neck in front, on which \vn a peculiar
deviec. ivpresentiit? a rotund Uutcliuian
| stau ling on it beer barrel, t"ode.uie.ilb wliich
was represente 1 several grave looking men about
to sign some very imp irianl document, tbitlie
i riglit side were represented a wee;/'tig woman
with two little children clinging to bcrskirts*?
1 ? ?
O.i the other si !o were represented an aged couple,
looking, the very picture of wretchedness, on
the form of it young man in a colli it. The meaning
of it oil 1 thought I was in formed, was this;
137 years befoge, that town was nothing but a
liitle ra I!ro al station containing a small store
shop there, but c<>u!d not legally do it. unless
the place was incorporated an l made a town by
a sort of legal fiction. A petition, with many
signatures, was presents! to the Reichstag, or
' general paw-wow of the province, praylug that
| these half dozen houses might he incorporated.
It was greatly feared that the petition would
not he uoticel. To the great joy of the liquor
people an 1 to the great sjrrow of the others, the
powers that v ere, to the neglect of importan'
incisures relating to the general good of the pco
pie, actually incorporated this contemptible lit*
lie place. A grogshop was established, with the
usual results. Tiio incorpor ? ion of the place
had been celebrated every year since; an 1 the
grogse lers, as if to add insult to injury, had
originated the pccnl ar device just described.?
The anniversary of this contemptible act oftlici1'
legislature, had for years been utilized by the
crowds of olfico seekers, wliich characterized
that province, and had hecotno the occasion of
general gatherings, at which political buttles
were fought with verbal weapons ; when, iu
short, the utlice seekers orated, the sovereign
; people" got drunk and everybody hail a goo I
time generally. It was in the midst of ono of
these anniversaries that I thought I found myself.
Soon 1 thou ?ht I was approached by a well
disposed looking n?au, who, taking me aside,
told me that be wished to inform me that a plot
had been made by certain leading" ones in the
crowd, to have sonic rare fun. at my expense,
by inviting me, as a pretended mark of honor, to
make a speech. At first I thought of leaving
forthwith; but on reflection it occurred to uictliat
aspccch]of the right kind was badly needed; but
nevci\having spoken in publio, I could not think
of attempting it. ll.it while I was thinking, here
catuc a committee, sure enough, with a flattering
: invitation to :n ike the opening allrcss* They
J would tike no_ denial. At le.igth I concluded
that, s'. ik I'rswhn, survive or 1 would
say something. I soon found myself on the
'speakers' stand." The Chairman of the meeting
gravely arose, with a malicious twinkle iu
his eye aud made some general remarks on tho
wonderful progress of science and discovery. To
this they were now indebted for a very great and
unexpected pleasure, lie said, that of being addressed
by an inhabitant of another planet. "It
gives me great pleasure lie added, with a significant
wink, which 1 happened to observe, to
introduce to the audience a celebrated tourist,
Mr- Jones, from Earth."
Trembling in every joint, I thought I came tothe
front, at which 1 wis greeted with tho usual
silly yell. 1 coughed and cleared up iny throat,
took out my handkerchief and wiped nty mouth,
wondering what I should do,or say. At length.
I managed to stammer out;
Strange, but very respectable people: Is it a
reality? or am 1 dreaming? that the first lime
that 1 should hive the honor of addressing an
audience should be upon a planet which, while
on earth, in my limited knowledge, 1 had been
accustomed In look lln.in 11? nrite .1 I. r-S.??.?
in the far-off sky. 1 am 110 public speaker ;
therefore I feel that I shall have both the forbearance
iliiil the sympathy of this strange, but
highiypntelligenl ami respectable audience; w hile
I shall, in a very imperfect ami incoherent manner,
try to say a few words that you may not ni
first endorse, but which I hepe you will receive
as the real sentiments of a strange, but true
friend?thought at present nearly scared to
death.''
Here, I thought I began to collect my scattered
senses and began to feel ashamed of tnyself,
because, like most new speak rs, I found myself
merely imitating, if not repeating, what I had
heard others say. 1 thought it was time to "get
to business," so 1 proceeded somewhat as follows
;
"You claim to be n free an) m il-pendent people.
Your orators ring changes on the "land of
the free and the home of the brave." You will
pardon uie, if 1 tell you that, as a people, 1 fear
you are neither as ftee nor as independent as
you perhaps imtgino. In the northern portions
of your planet llio vote of the laborers is largely
controlled by capitalists; in the southern portion
1 perceive that the vote of a large class is
controlled by demagogues indiscriminately, who
pay a price, either directly or indirectly, for the
votes of tins class. In other words, oflice, in
the southern part of jour planet, has become' a
marketable commodity, which, to a large extent,
is bought and sold, as truly as any other Commodity,
thou,;h ny indirect means Whntmenns
the fact that your office seekers pay for dinners
at barbecues for dozens of voters each; turn
loose whole barrels of cider upon the crowd ;
then take them around to the corner grogshop
and make them drunk on moan u,l.Salmi-V M-..
in case your office seeker bo a good, sober, pious,
Baptist deacon, and an enthusiastic FunJay
? diool man, who is too politic to go it directly .
what means the fact thai this man furnislio*
large sums of money to his flunkeys with directions
to procure whiskey with it fur voters la
drink? I>oes it not all mean that ll e<e office
seekers make this outlay iu hopes of thereby gett'tig
rotes in return? No other reasons* 1?
