You have fostered intolerance――bigotry’s ban; Like cowards you turned on a stout-hearted man, Compensated iniquities lavishly free―― Nearly everything’s gone to the dogs or the D.! But now my affairs which you’ve scattered and strown, Perhaps will come right when you leave ’em alone. Two million! Ah, they to my future will see! Farewell, then, I’ve done with you――go to the D.! D. EVANS. _The Weekly Despatch_, November 15, 1885. ―――― JAWING “J. C.” (AIR, “BONNIE DUNDEE.”) To the lords of creation ’twas Chamberlain spoke, “Ere my power go down the Queen’s crown shall be broke! So each jolly Rad who loves plunder and me, Let him follow the system of jawing J. C. Come fill up my inkpot and whittle my pen, To meeting my radicals! Sing out like men, Come, open the best way to let us go free, For plunder’s the system of jawing J. C.” J. C. he is started, he puffs through the land; The Whigs they sink backward, dismayed at his “hand;” But the Leader, douce man, says “Just e’en let him be, For the party must stick to that deil o’ J. C.” “Come fill up,” &c. There are games beyond Gladstone, and fields beyond Forth; If there’s farms in the Southland, there’s crofts in the North; There are braw whiskey-drinkers, three thousand times three, Who’ll “go blind” on the system of jawing J. C. “Come fill up,” &c. “Then away to the garrets, the cellars, and slums―― Ere I own to a leader, I’ll funk like my chums. So tremble, false Whigs, in the midst of your glee, Ye have nae seen the last of my system and me. Come fill up my inkpot and whittle my pen, To meeting my Radicals, sing out like men; Fling everything open, we all will be free, For plunder’s the system of jawing J. C.” _The Globe_, December 1, 1885. ――――:o:―――― “THE CAMPBELL’S ARE COMING.” Dr. John Cumming, minister of the Scotch church, in London, frequently introduced controversial matters into his sermons, and was at times, rather violent in his denunciations of the Pope, and Roman Catholicism. The Pope wrote inviting him to go to Rome, but intimated that he would not consent to reopen a discussion on theological questions which had long since been decided by his august predecessors. The two following parodies on the subject appeared in _Punch_, which has always been exceedingly bitter in its attacks on the Roman Catholics and their priesthood. So much so that Richard Doyle (himself a Catholic), one of the most talented artists who ever drew for _Punch_, retired from its staff on that account. THE POP’ AN’ JOCK CUMMING.
