(to the editor.) Deer Sur, —Share an’ it was meself that was surprised to heer ov Misthur McGlone kickin’ up a dusht about the Coat of Arrums been used in the papur. Fur, sez I, whin I read it, whare is the gossoon in the counthry side that sbood hav’ more love an’ reverins for it than himself. But, sez I to meself, may be it’s his conshens that prickin’ him, afther the huntherds of six bobs that he’s had for carryin’ a coat about every day, splafctherd over wid butteus, an’ the Coat of Arrums on ivery wan ov thim. Whin he thinks ov how aisy he earnt his six bobs and made himself into a capitalist, shure he mightened be so hard on euny wan ehe thryia’ to get a few bob aisy. Me ould woman sez he’s a grand orafcher altogether, an’ whin he wance gets a start shure that he’s butiful to heer. Misthur Gladstone or Misthur Gain, she sez, sez she, can’t honld a candle to him at all at all. Whin he’s properly goin’ wid thim clippius ov papur faruinst him, there’s nothin’ she sez, sez she, that iver she heerd that can bould yure attinshuu or come nigh him, unless it might be Tommy Knowles’ cockatoo —beggin’ his pardin for minshunnin’ him. Whin he’s had a little more practise, shure ye’ll see him puttin' up fur Parlimint Misthur McGlone I mane, not the cockatoo —an’ if it’s only the gift of the gab that made Misthur Seddon premier, why shoodent Misthur McGlone - make himself into a premier too. —Yures truelay, Patsey O’Reilly.
