Editor and Proprietor,
deems Kaye as a Parliament-
ary Candidate.
Dear Bailie, the result o' an influenti-
ally eignsd requisition, asking 0110 tae
etaund for M, P., was a meeting I held
last Friday tae address the electors an'
non-eleotora (only they're a' electors moo.)
I needna gie ye my speech, but I finished
up a thrilling address ern a glowing peror
alien, whioh run in this wise :-
"Yee, gentlemen, if ye want tae mak'
the Saltcoats district o' burghs staun oot
boldly before the nation at large as a
burning and staining lioht o' enterprise,
loear heidedness, an' influence, dinnavote
for ony 0' thee carpet -baggers free Lon-
don, that come down hare wi' a toothpick
an' a Olean collar, an' ken as little aboot
the wants o' the &Istriot as my wee man-
ager kens aboot Julius Caesar. No, no,
never min' them ; support your fellow
oitizen, that can lay bis haun on bis herr
an' say his wants are the same as the dis-
trict's, an' the district's are the same as
his. Rally roon the star-spangled banner
that floats proodly, for this occasion only,
free the tap o' the opal roe, an' some
boldly tae the polling booth, wf' a clean
face an' an upright hart, an' record your
vote in fear an' trembling, remembering
that into your hands is committed the
wall -being of this great empire. Gentle.
men, I'm moo ready tau answer ony ques-
tions." (Great cheers.)
At this up gets Mr. Balderetone, an'
says-Wid the honorable gentleman sup-
port a bill for legalising marriage wi' a
wife's deceased sister ! (Cries of "Aha 1
where are ye moo 2")
Mr. Kaye -But what d'ye went tee
marry a deid woman for ?
Ur. Balderetone-The right honorable
gentleman didna underetaun me. It's
the wife that's deid, an' no the sister.
Mr. Kaye -0h, it's the wife that'sdeid.
Weal, why didna ye marry the sister
first ? (Cries of "The auld boys' cute.")
Mr. Balderetone-Ah, many a time i
wished I had.
Mr. Kaye-Weel, the next time ye're
thinking o' matrimony, marry aye the
sister first ; bot, sae fear as Pm concern•
ed, ye can marry your wife's deceased
auntie, or her grannie if ye like -if ye're
pleased, it's name o' my business. (Great
cheers.)
Mr. Dinmont-Would the gallant col-
onel vote for Henry George's plan o' di-
viding the land ?
Mr. Kaye-Weel, I wid like tae see a
calculation made first. If I wis tae get
mair than I brive, I wid support a bill
for dividing the land, the Biller, an' a'.
tbegither. Isn't that fair ? (Cries of
'Quite fair.")
Mr. Hatteriok-Wid the candidate vote
for payment o' members ?
Mr. Kaye -If I get in I will -if I don't
I'll no.
An Eleotor-Dose Sir Jeeme think it
0008180801 wi' his position as an elder tee
staun at the kirk door Sunday after Sun•
day, baunin' Dot hie address tae every one
that gangs in, instead o' attending tae his
duty o' watcbin' the plate 2" (Cries '0'
"That's intoe him.")
Mr. Kaye -Gentlemen, alioome tae ex-
plain. I had glen the minister some
valuable assistance on the Disestablish-
ment question, an' he agreed tae let me
be the elder at the plate for a wbeen Sun.
days, an' I will acknowledge I gird every
one that geed in one o' my addresses, wi'
a wheen lozengers rowed up in't. They
read it in the pews tae wile awn' the time
till the minister began ; but it served two
good purposes -it brocht my views before
them, an' prevented them meditating on
their aiu worldly concerns. (Cheese an'
cries of " Qaite richt.")
An Elector -What is your opinion of
the Aurora Borealis ?
Mr. Kaye -I wid vote for the total alp
olition ort a'thegither. Why should the
working man bas tae pay taxes for the
support of the Rory Borealue ? (Cries of
"Bravo," and "You're the man for us.")
Mr. Wylie -Hoo many acres 18'0 we've
tae get, Mr. Kaye ?
Mr. Kays --Three an' a ono -but min'
ye that's only if ye vote for me. If ye
vote for the ither man ye'Il no get as
much as wid feed a rabbit. (Cries of ,
"We'll avote for you.")
MYlr. Wylie -Hoo often is the land toe
be divided, did ye say ?
Mr. Kaye -Every Saturday ; but there's
this proviso, that if ony man's land gets
dune in the middle o' the week he may
sign it requisition tae the Provost, saying
he's dissatisfied, an' +ben the Provost is
hound tea divide it ower again witboot
waiting tae next Saturday. Could ony-
thing he fairer than that ? (arise of
"No I No 1")
Mr, Muoklebackit-Will the candidate
see that a royal reeidenoe is built in Salt.
Coate, an' that eome o' the Royal Family
maids in it permanently ? (Cries of
"Mak' it hot for him, Steenie; ')
Mr. Kaye-Certaiuly,genttemen ; that's
smatter I've aye intended tae speak tae
the Prince o' Wales about, for I hie his
Royal Highnesses' own asauranoe that he
wid n80er ask tae leeve in a more en-
chanting spot, an' where he wid be able
tae hoe a gemm at the dominoes wi' Mr.
Pinkerton an' me, (Deafening cheese.)
Mr. Faireervio0-Ie Mr. Kaye in favor

"I hear the pibroch sounding, sounding,
Sweet ower the mountain an' glen."
Man, Bailie, et this point, mine'eprom-
feed tae be the happiest political meeting
ever held in Saltooats. Everything went
on fine. The audience hobbit their pipes,
an' we up on the platform a'had ceeguars
-we had sent oot for a shilling's worth.
Then we emptied a wee flask o' brandy
as it was surprising hoo dry the smoking
made us a'. Then we lay bank and
dreamily listened to the Bangs, In fan'
at this time a' went meaty as a marriage
bell. After a wee we sent ower for the
minister's fiddle, an' he played "Tnllooh.
gorum" on't, an' Mr. Pinkerton an' the
lamplicbter waltzed room the chairs, an'
up an' doon, an' back an' forrit, an' I
beat time wi' my silver-heided walking
stick. But there's some evil disposers
minds in this wart', Bailie, As we were
a' enjoying ooreels innocently somebody
screwed Dot the gas, an' then there wis a
hubbub. The minister's Addle got snob a
dunshing that be's mending awe' at it yet
wi' sticking plaieter. The leading Radi-
cal was lowered ower the gallery by the
legs, the orood below tearing him by the
hair a' the time. Mr. Pinlrerton's leg
got hackled fn amang the chairs, au' he
fell an the tap o' the minister, wha, put-
ting oot hie haun' tae save bimetal', drew
me doon, but I didna fa' alone. I grippit
two o' the Liberal caucus frae Glasgow,
an' if I didna mak' them look two ways
for Sunday when I scrambled up it's
queer. As I cam' doon wi' my etiok on
the shootbere Brat o' ane, an' then the
ither, I cried oot, "That's theEstabliebed
Kirk," an' that's "Local option," an'
that's "the eohtpenny income tax," an'
that's "General Gordon," an' that's
"Free Education," an' that's "one-sided
Free Trade," an' that's the six millions
o' murdered Soudanese," an' as I gied a
olour now on ane o' their holds, an' now
on the ither, I Dries, "en' that's the ban-
ner millions your "G. 0. M." has run us
in for." Indeed, I wis maist oot o' breath
by this time, but I heard the minister
whisperiu', "Ob, Mr. Kaye, be liberal."
"So I am, minister," says I, "liberal in
everything, liberal in my dealings,' an'
then I caro' doon wi' anither reestle on
their banks.
Bailie, my thoom'e sprained yet. Hoo -
ever, I need hardly say that I've altered
my mind. Seeing the kin' o' clamjam-
ffray that's going in noo, I'm going tae
remain oot. JESUS Katz.

Th1010 the sign they put out. You would
think from the beautiful way in which
they fit up their plaaee with 0lained glass
and mirrors, and marble, that they must
be doing something very grand inside. If
somebody would only make a business of
fitting up lateens according to directions
which I will now give, I believe the whe.
key thugs would soon have to go out ofthe
business. Go tp the drunkards' graves
(nearly a hundred thousand are said to be
made each year) and take out all the bones.
Dover the walls of the saloons with the
skulls set abase together. Take the long
bones of tbo arms and legs, and make
them into wheels to decorate the gelling
and use the smeller bones of the fingers
and back for rosettes to fasten up in or.
namenting the ceiling still farther. There
might be motto made here and there in
the walls for statuary, and into these
might be stood some of the living drunk.
ards dressed in their rags. Do you think
there would be many customers found
for ouch saloons as these ? Perhaps you
think it would be well not to fit up any
saloons at all, not even in the terrible
fashion I have desoribed. I quite agree
with you. I think a better way would be
to put a stop to the whiskey business.
Our Government could do it a good deal
as the English Government is patting a
shop to thug business in India; that ie by
having a special police for their oapture.
It is called "The Thngeo Department."
When they are captured they are shut in
prison. But, alas 1 I am sorry to say our
Government does not seen disposed to
stop the saloon tbags. Instead the traffic
is legalized. I hardly expect you will
know what that mane. Well, it is just
this :-Our Government says to the whis-
key men, "If you will pay us so moot
money every year we will give you per.
mission to go on with your business."
And what a pile of money every year these
whiskey men pay in to our Government!
Let us stop it. How can we do it? By
being out.and.oub for temperance our-
selves ; by trying to get everybody we
can to be for temperance ; by learning
temperance pieces to speak at sohool, so
that byand-bye we shall be able to make
temperance speeches in halls and Ohara -
es and everywhere ; by just making our-
selves hate the smell of a saloon ; by
praying that God will help the men and
the women who are trying to give up the
drink ; and by.and-bye, voting against
any man for Dominion, Provincial or
Mnnroipal office, who drinks liquor or is
willing to legalize ate sale.
