But the Finality is at hand. Prepare for such a flood of the out- pourings, bitternesses, and yearnings of oppressed spirits as was never yet beheld by a suffering but too patient People whose appeals for right are stifled by the iron hoof of an arrogant and miserable Party press, whose god is Patronage.

But come ! ! ! ,c .;, Yours, in sympathy, Cac( ^thes Scribendi Jay. i P.S.- -Chops and talk, Tuesday, at eight, sharp. "I suppose you'll join us, Ford?" asked the recipient of this soul- reviving document. " Join you ? ok course. It's the ' chops' that decide me. " But how about the stakes ?" " Well, we'll talk about the slakes later." I thought long and anxiously upon this great and glorious scheme. I sat up nights pondering how we could fan the lambent glow 01 Public Opinion into the white heat of Independent action. How we could free over four million people from the bondage of the Globe and Gazette ; how we could foster a scheme by w' h every man might become his own njillionaire ; how that this miserab. vooden Country might be made the Paradise of the Free ; how that every man inight become his own Sove- reign and never want for change, and 1 thought and thought, until I worked myself up to the necessary condition of enthusiasm, and shouted "give me Victory or give me Chops' that is my motto." These are the reasons which induced me to join the Public Notoriety Club. The Ci.uc in Session, &c. Tuesday came and I hied me to the " Windsor." I arrayed me in my white tie and evening dress, for even the most approved form of Democracy likes to put on airs at times. The red cap of Liberty is only used on strikes, when it can contrast to advantage on the top of barricades. ast .4 Under such circumstances it is the proper thing to wear. On my way to tae rendtzvous I talked politics to the carter, just to air my views, so to speai'c. "^/y friend" I remarked," what's your opinion of this Canada of ours ?" " Canada's well enough. It's them thats in it, I complain of." " Exactly, my fellow citizen, in me you behold a kindred spirit ; one who is the champion of Free Thought ; one who can sympathize with your wrongs and sufferings ; one who believes that an unfettered nobility of soul is man's proudest heritage. Now, tell me, how many hours toil you in this Arctic clime for your miserable, daily pittance ?" " Be your name McLaughlin, Sir ? I've heerd him talk just like that at Chaboillez Square. I tell you he's a buster on the talk and there's nothing mean about him, neither." " Nay, my friend, my name is not McLaughlin, but, tell mc, what are your average earnings ?" " When I meets gents, like you, they most alius give's me fifty cents. Cheap fares is the cuss o' this city." •* They are, they are, I know it, " and with a deep sigh I flung him a quarter. I didn't wait to hear what he said, but it was the free expression of the vexed spirit within him. The colored citizen who relieved me of my overcoat and rubbers kindly informed me " dat the Polygamy Club met in nummer sum." ,. It was a distinguished assembly I met in "number seven." The dinner table, which appeared to be the centre of, attraction was arranged iiorse-shoe fashion. Happy augury of a hopeful Cause ! A dozen or so of the mightiest minds in the country were toasting their legs in front of the fire. Each had distinguished himself by failing in something. Some had failed in Literature ! but through no fault of their own estimate of their powers as levers of their own opinions ; some had failed in making the Anglo-Franco-Hibemian-Scottish-Canadian-Natlonal-Society a glori- 1;^^^:\■:^^'r^ :: ous success; others had had Government appointments and failed in keeping them ; some had failed in persuading the people of the Eastern Townships that Principle was the mother of Politics. In brief, there was enough hidden fire in the hearts of those present to have set the Universe ablaze, if but a match dry enough to start it could be found. Evefy " person had come properly wound up, and warranted to go for three hours without losing a minute. The editorial " I," met upon an equal footing with the editorial '* We" of another nation. The Englishman, the French .,,, 1. f : I r ' ■ '*t*TV*' f >'^''l]t*.'^-' ?" »w* '-V ^ ' ' '•A'r* ■-'*<»*:*• •»•-■■■ t-V-'"l-)»'|' ->- Canadian, the Scottish Canadian, the Canadian proper and improper were as those to whom nationality was second to self. The good natured " local member" of a local legislature several hundred miles from his own locale was there to give the meeting tone — a Gallic tone, so to speak. I was there to eat chops, and liberty on toast. Take it for all in all it was a goodly gathering. Economy was supposed to be the principal motive for which they were met, Economy at one dollar a head, not including wine or strong drink. But then those who have their pockets full arc best fitted to discuss Economy, upon the same rule that incoming Admi- nistrations always play off Economy as the " little joker" in the euchre deck of the political .pack. It is always a trump card to play, and so these gentlemen like astute players as they were, held it back and disguised their " hand" as long as it was necessary to do so. " I think we are all here," said the Rev. Cacocthes Scribcndi Jay. " Let us begin," replied Mr. Mak'Faster. "Gentlemen take your seats, call in the waiters." And they sat down and fell to, stimulated by the knowledge of wrongs endured by the oppressed millions of a Party Press, outside The French members started with soup. •' By the way we have not said grace," I observed to the Rev. Mr. Jay, •' Please don't talk * shop' here— that sort of thing will do for tea meetings and socials, but here it is out of place." I very properly subsided and told him if he wasn't particular it was a matter of indifference to me. There was enough, and to spare. It was a standing rule with this excellent Club that nobody should talk during dinner. To do one thing at a time and to do it well is a wise maxim. The bill of fare was well worth the money. After the courses had been carefully stowed away the President signalled one of the waiters " to bring % • the wind:' The wind was enclosed in a bag something like the bag of a uag pipe, " What's that for ?" I asked of a member. O, that is a little invention of the Vice-President, and is especially designed for theu se of members who are unaccustomed to public speaking. It's an excellent idea, because, you see, after they take a pretty good pull at the nozzle of the machine, they must talk or buit ! our chief difficulty so far, is to prevent the inexperienced members from all talking at once. One man got so full of talk at our last meeting that we had to leave him talking to the waiter, to whom we had to pay fifty ^•wmnw i "W \ ' '',.> 1 I cents an hour. You'd scarce .y believe it, perhaps, but that man was put to I » bed at three o'clock still talking about "Grant's third term" and the f* Mechanics Bank, and the waiter was found sitting alongside fast asleep. I That member has'nt been here since, but we are now getting used to \ regulating the nozzle by a supply valve arranged upon a sliding scale at I intervals of a half hour's supply at a time." . i " By Jove you ought to patent this and send it out during election contests. The inventor would make a fortune out of it. It would be just the thing for Sweathom." " Gentlemen," said the Chairman, " it is now in order to talk. Our estimable member Mr. Cacoethes Scribindi Jay, feels that the spell is in him and would like to say a few words upon ' the Poverty of knowledge • of Canadians,' excepting of course, the members of this Club." What the Rev. Cacoethes Scribendi Jay said. The gentleman rose, ran his fingers through his curly locks, and said, amidst the most impressive silence : — Mr. Chairman, and Brethren : you will excuse me il I talk chiefly about Myself, because that is a subject upon which I feel most competent ip giving an Opinion. Indeed, it is a subject with which I may say I possess an intimate and personal acquaintance. It is a glorious theme • — the more so, because I have the honor to speak to comparatively uucc^u- cated men, as nearly all Canadians are, without a knowledge as to what comprises real independence of Thought. Some of you, I am aware, are for the moment, Conservatives, others are Liberals, while the most of you amount to — nothing. Mark you gentlemen I use the term "nothing" strictly in its " Economical" sense. But to revert to Myself Once I held forth in a busy manufacturing town of England. They could'nt appreciate me, and I left. That was their misfortune, my ideas were too pronounced for the slow-going people with whom I had to deal. For I am a Progressive man. I chafe under inaction. I am a Child of Storm. I love the fierce, raging tempest. I love the fitful gleams of forked light- ning and I listen to the thundrous Voice of the elements as to the tones of a mighty Orator— the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, for instance. Well, ;' my brethren— I beg pardon, gentlemen, I came to this frigid Colony, to th's extreme of heat and colc\ and I found an ignorant People without an . , Opinion ; with fio ideas worth the name of an Idea, and a People content to follow in the leading strings of George Brown and Tom White. Well, brethren — gentlemen, I am here. (Applause) I found my mission a hard .. •! one. To enlighten upwan's of four millions of prejudiced souls was no easy t.mk. I came to save Canada. (Immense applause.) A MEMBER.' — I scarcely think the salvation of Canada rests with the spetker. (Cries of "turn him out.') A Member — I apologize, gentlemen, it was the wind bag, pray do not think 1 meant any harm. I feel easier now. I had to say something. Mr. Jay continued ;~I have the courage of my thoughts : I say 1 come to save Canada. I am come. J saw the people of Quebec were the tools of a degenerate Episcopacy, so I slaughtered the priests, and spared not the self-styled Bishops of the Anglican Church. There was only'one thing wanting to complete my success. I longed to get shot in the fleshly part of my thigh. I should have been a martyr, second only to St. Lawrence. Maybe that happy moment will come. Let me hope so. (Cries of hear, hear,) I have lectured for the Scotch and was for the nonce, a true Scot ; I have spoken for the St. Georges Society, for Sometimes " I am an Englishman." I have set the town agog and hun- dreds have thronged to hear me, and I had almost fancied myself ^ Apostle, And yet this People have not been truly converted. Eut they are improving. Seeing the manner in which the arrogant and over- weening Globt assumes to itself the autocracy of a political Despot, I started the Egotist. Jt has not yet fulfilled its high mission, but it a////, yes, gentlemen, it will — upon the limited liability principle — yet accom- plish this needful work. And who shall say that I have shrank froni free controversy— -I who am the chief of controversialists ? I take no stock in your passive editorial " we's" who shrink from the shadow of their own indentity. It is i, |, I — all my I and nobody else's who will accom- j)lish this great thing. Without me you can do nothing. I do not follow in the ake of what is erroneously termed Public Sentiment, I lead it. I create i , and the time will come when I shall control it. I include Myself not among your weak-kneed politicians. My Nature is not to cringe and bow, it is rather to command, to lead, and^let not'no ass bray when I speak. (Great cheering). This Colony is a poor wooden colony at best, full of crude notions and small conceptions. I would make it Independent. I would free it from the hateful yoke of dependency. Perhaps among the few, but very few I fear, there are to be found tha germs of a tolerable intelligence, but the great majority know nothing — nay, scarcely that. The Sculptor has thought me no unworthy subject for his plaster cast, and though a modest man, Myself, yet methinks there are to be seen in the outlines of yonder image, which adorns i»y study, the • i :■■ nobility of Intellect, which is my greatest Strength. I might have been a politician had it so suited my fancy, and erstwhile I had pictured to Myself the /rw/Zf^r which would have been joined to that constituency which might have had the honor of returning me to an illiterate Parlia- ment. But I found not one worthy. Gentlemen, if you would know what untrammelled Moral P'orce is, read the Egotist It is just what you need ; it is better than the Globe for it is free ; it is superior to the Gazette for it '" independent ; it is purer than the Herald, for it is not so ungrammatical ; jt is holier than th? Witness for it is edited by the chief of Zion. If you cannot understand it, it is because your notions of mat- ters and things are, as yet, undeveloped. Study it's utterances out for I yourselves, fori, Myself, confess the stupendousness of my first thoughts I sometimes surpass my human comprehension. (Hear, hear and cheers.) |. And to you my French Canadian confreres, with whom I have had many ple;isant meetings in my sanctum, to you I say there must be a change. , Let it be Independence, Separation, nay Annexation, or whatever name you may Cvill it by, it must come. You, whom by the accident of birth Nature decreed should be of French descent ; you with your historic glory, chivalry, and spirit will assist us. (Bravo, cheers). We know no nation- ality in this thing. Our common Manhood is the only nationality we recognize. It is a pleasure for me to know that one of you once held a . position as representative of a feeble and ignorant People at the World's Centennial. You did what you could, and if you did it badly, the fault was not yours so much as those whom you represented. I am glad to know you resigned your appointment for conscience' sake when the display of mightier nations than yours had come to an end. So it is for i you to carve out Canada's future among those of your own race. But I we must remember that whatever be our mission ; call it, by any name you will, I beg of you go slow at first, for you will meet with revilings and and scoffings. Greater men than you have experienced them. I have felt them and still I am not ashamed. That which will give notoriety to this Club ; that which will advance the cause of self-advancement I favor, and remember, pray remember, that I am open for anything by which I can become greater than I am, although I affirm it, I am'yet the Greatest amoitg you. Gentlemen, I have done. My wind bag is empty and I pray you to join with me in drinking the first and greatest of all toasts — " Ourselves." The toast was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm and with highland hoOof^ to which hoirever, Mr. Jay objected on the ground that the i .,.,.,. r. fashion was too common, and savored of barbaric rudeness. A compro- mise was effected and each member drank twice. Gentlemcii, Monsieur Zero will respond. • "v Monsieur Zeko responded as follows ; , -j • 'A-f.i t" ■ ' »>- Gentlemen — Ze toast vas vcll buttered, as you call it, and I like him mooch.

Since dat time I have been out of vork, and I am vara likely to be out of vork viles dis Govournment hvst. As Mr. Jay vill say he is a great man. He is almost as great a man as myself. I like dose leetle meetings and I like great men vith plenty to eat and to drink, and to say. It is ze fashion of my nation to do dese tings vith bonhommic. But, messieurs, ve have a duty to pairform. Dat duty is to talk, and I guess I can talk vith any man in dis room, ^^|f nation is \Q\xy fatigue with de manner vich de country is governed. You find ze real estate is nuthings of value. You find ze assignees no longer can make a leevin. Y'ou see everyvarc de signs of ennui vicii ze Policy Nationale ave brought upon ze country. Vat ve call Loyalty ? Fouf, it is rien. Ze only Loyalty vich I tink is ze best is ze Loyalty to ourselves. Voila c' est premier consideration. (Hear, Hear.) I say dis because it is so. Ze only hope for dis country, this poor country, is to go vith ze peoples oi la Republique Americaine vich is vat ve must come to, if ve vould be a mighty and prosperous nation vith sometings to do. Ve vants no rulare, but de vill of ze people, ve vants sheap food, sheap houses, and peoples like me in zc Gouvtrnment vith a good big salary for doing nothins. But I speak not so mooch for my nation as I speak for myself. Monsieur Jay ave said to ze meetingn about ze Egotiste. It is a vare good paper to buy for nuthins but I tinks my journal Le Canard de la Liberie vill be vat my nation vant, and by ze time ze first volume have finished Le Marseillaise vill be ze national song of ze country. Dat's ze kind of man I am, and vith f argent from Vashington I build ze statue of liberie in ze Place H Amies at my own expenses. (Great cheers.)

I scarcely know which to admire most ; your unbounded elo- quence ; your zeal in talking, or — your chops. But eloquence and patriotism are invariably connected with eating. The sentiments of the most untutored nations of the earth are a unit upon the subject of dinners. Your platform has evidently been erected upon " the go-as-yoq. please" foundation. There is a marvellous sympathy between the brain and the stomach and I congratulate you upon the pleasure you appear to derive in scratching each others backs. But eating, as you are doubtless aware, is not so cheap as talking. We can't be always eating, but we can talk to the end of time. We are all patriots, more or less, according to our opportunities. If there isn't an opportunity, you know how to make one. If your attempts succeed half so well as the Egotist, your triumph is assured. Who ever heard of a Patriot who was afflicted with dumb- ness ? Who ever heard of a Patriot who could not revolutionize an Empire with the aid of a knife and fork ? Who ever hear^of a Patriot who did not burn to help the oppressed, regardless of creed or nationality, in all things, save the money with which to defray the cost of the advertisement? \'ou are ignorant ; but bear in mind the chief of Patriots has his ** I" upon you. Let that nerve you into action. The more ignorant the people, the greater your prospects of reward. History uas asserted this over and over again. Take the Zulus for instance, next in intelligence to yourselves, and that I am sure you will accept as a complement, — take the Zulus, and you will find they were taken in and done for by a man ol far inferior capacity to yours. Dunn has done his work, and he is now enjoying his re>Aard. '^hat is what I call pure patriotism, with a twenty-five per cent, dividend tacked on to it. He saw his opportunity and profited by it, and 1 would wager any amount of money (if I had it) that the leaders of this oratorical gathering, wont disregard the profits if there are any attached to the speculation, which fact you will permit me to observe is doubtful. Gentlemen you have commenced well. " Go in" for all you can get, for 1 am very sure some of you wont lose much, for the reason you have'nt anything to lose. (Hear, Hear) That fact I am happy to state is the motive power of the majority of modern patriots. In this connection I would propose most respectfully the toast of " Our Creditors-Do they think of us at home ?" ' ••''-!■ ^'i ' ' The Chairman — I regret to say the toast is out of order. The object of this Club is, by the first clause of our Constitution, to " elevate our- selves' -/w/ our Creditors. The gentlemen, however, can introduce it fr I'll say under the head of '* new business" at the proper time. I would now request Mr. George Washington Junior, to say a few words upon " Spe- culative Patriotism." But before proceeding with his remarks I would beg to remind the gentlemen, that Monsieur Zero is about to proceed to Washington to get a subsidy from the Secret Service Department to hunch his new paper Ze Canard de la Liberie, with the proceeds of which we expect to defray the cost of our next banquet. (Applause) Let me observe however, in order to facilitate the expression of free opinion, that that excellent journal the Egotist and Le Canard de la IJberte, when it comes out, will be sent to subscribers for the price of ono subscription. We shall now have much pleasure in listening to Mr. George Washington Junior. The gentleman was received with immense cheering. ^ Mr. George Washington Junior (/ i6 " I see, said Slocum," you want to let the Monarchy down easy at firat. Well, I reckon you're head's level on phra'^,eolog>', anyway." I guess I'll be able to fix this thing pretiy straight. And, T dont mind if I do ha\ e another cigar. Thanks." Mr. Slocun returned to the Squirrel offjce. " Well, how did you make out ?" enquired the City Editor. '• Had a first rate time, I guess we'll make :; pretty strong in the morn- ing. Them Canucks want to join us real bad. They're dying to ' annex,' whether we want to take 'em in or not. They say we must have 'em." Next morning Mr. Mak'Faster saw himself immortalized in the columns ol the New York Squirrel. It was perhaps a pardonable vanity, but it was not calculated to inspire him with that supreme satisfaction he had anticipated. " And this is what he call ' letting the Monarchy down easy is it?" .: ' ■■/.' " " ■ '";/■■ •' ' ■ - ■' Upon his return to Montreal he found his fame had preceded him as will be seen by the following letter from his constituents : • ■ " ' Blengarry, Ont., Jan., 2nd, 1880.
