SQUIBS AND JOKES POLITICAL.
SQUIBS To th« Editor of the Daily Southibn Cross. Sib,— Ordinarily I enjoy a joke, especially ft politic ca.l lampoon, as well as, or better than, most people ; ? and could exhibit the courteous correlative with very* hearty gusto. Also, it may be added, there Is suoh* a thing as strong opinion. But really we~are all now confessedly in such a plight; and, personally, I feelf so implicated in our present abnormal social diffi» culties of position that, instead of allowing and' joining in giggling, I am, in a small way, almost as distracted about temporal concerns as " our mutualfriend" John Williamson is publicly said to be, and" consequently am just now indisposed to reciprocate' the fun.
