350 APPENDIX. [No. XXIX. 



The Puppet Parliament must reflect its actions back to the people 

 themselves, and workmen will hereafter expect masters to be their Puppets. 

 Doctors even now wonder whether my Lord Russell will graciously 

 issue a proclamation ordering men hereafter to live without their brain, 

 which co-ordinates and regulates the movements of each individual 

 limb. 



A good lawgiver, on the contrary, makes a good constituent. The 

 man who appreciates honest and earnest thought in those above him will 

 bestow thought upon the affairs of those below him. Every person is 

 second to some other person on some question ; so a good lawgiver has a 

 continuous beneficial influence upon the entire community. 



A great battle is at hand. The Puppets have made a deadly attack 

 upon the lawmakers. Russell conflicts Derby; but who will be their 

 soldiers? Whigs and Tories now consult together against the common 

 enemy of intellect. Conservatives and Reformers confusedly jostle 

 together, despite their former differences. All, regardless of former 

 opinions, are disposed to join their talent for the common protection of 

 mind and thought. Two new divisions in political circles separate them- 

 selves in battle array. Brainless, mob-idolatrous demagogues will fight 

 under Russell. Thoughtful, studious lawgivers will join the ranks of 

 Derby. 



Already the common-sense and intellect of England cries for the 

 people to abandon Earl Russell's Puppet, which hears not, sees not, 

 understands not, thinks not, but acts simply as an uninformed mob may 

 cause it to move. In place of a senseless idol, the good and great respect 

 the human mind in its natural purity of intellectual truthfulness, and 

 trust that after hearing, seeing, remembering, understanding, judging, 

 comparing the present with the past, it will create laws and ordinances for 

 the people to follow for their welfare and happiness. 



Shall the people elect an intelligent Lawgiver, or manufacture a 

 senseless Puppet ? 



Shall Russell carry out the behests of the mob, or shall Derby 

 legislate for the nation? 



No. XXIX. 

 THE FINAL REFORM BILL OF EARL RUSSELL, K.G. 



(A Political Skit. ANON.) 



A FINAL Reform is now demanded from the Legislature by forcible, far- 

 seeing men who know the worth of importunity. 



Speeches are more telling than thought, and one pseudo-political 

 orator is more attractive to a Minister bent upon retaining power than ten 

 thousand quiet, thoughtful men who simply follow their business and 

 advance the wealth and commerce of the country. 



Politicians have spoken a final Reform is requested; so who can 

 be more ready than the present Ministry, under the leadership of Earl
