Se os = into their bodies the vitalizing breath of federal patronage. Grant overthrew the y | Confederates after three years warfure, Cleve- land has set them up again peacefully in two months. Thus, with the Cleveland party ‘‘to the fore,” the Mugwumps satisfled, and the “gross and bloody violation of public rights” atoned for, may we not say that Cleveland is fully inaugurated and the administration in full working order? ay! There is the Democratic party! Well, they can be recognized some time, any | time. “ SIPPITY-SUP.” Men with as great expectations and as high estimates of their own deserving rarely are as modest in their demands for substan- tial recognition as are the Mugwamps. | "Twas some time a paradox that the more a man wants, the less he is satisfied with, but now the appointment of Pearson gives it proof. But if we remember that the Independents are really in a tight fix—tied to the Demo- crats, who repudiate them, and ignored by the Republicans, who cast them off—we can perhaps understand their moderation. They are in no position to dictate. A man in the stocks is not a very active member of society nor an important factor in affairs. But he has his own folly to thank for being there, and the best he can do is to receive the little sop from Cleveland with thankfulness. It is not much, but ‘They are ideal hungry—Democrate must keep in mind the | hippophagists. They subsist chiefly on their task he set himself to do: 1, He had to foster the Cleveland men. Has he not done it? Did he not put his : Albany, and his scrip- and-purse-bearer from New York in the Cabinet? Have not the chairmen of the dele- gations that supported Cleveland in the Chicago convention been sedulously “ con- served?" 2. He had to pay off his indebtedness to the Mugwumps. THe did this with neatness and dispatch by the appointment of Pear- son—one of the greatest labors of a parturient administration. 3. And chiefly, he had to rehabilitate in power the down trodden South, ‘The long list of ex-confederates remounted from the administration horse-block attest the swift- ness of the working administration. One item in this account speaks columns for Cleveland’s zeal. At the time of his in- auguration there were, bottled up somewhere in the South, at legst a dozen unpardoned, reconstructed Constitution defenders—vic- tims of an unconstitutional of the constitution. Few dreamed of their existence. It was Cleveland’s original con- ception to organize a relief expedition to search out this unreconciled remnant and restore them to involuntary citizenship. His exhaustive labor has disclosed three, besides ‘President Davis.” He has breathed man, y, from amendment own hobby-horses. ONLY WAITING. Time was when England umpired all the international contests of Europe, and adjudi- cated to herself as fees for the amicable ser- vice the lion’s share of the booty, A turn about seems to have come, and Herr Bis- marck is likely to occupy the role of the judicial monkey, dividing the cheese between the contentious cat and dog by alternate and differentiating bites. The little hair-pulling at Penjdeh seems not to have disturbed this national peace-officer. Indeed, he is as philosophical as any outside dog in the fight, that has his paw on the bone that constituted the casus belli, ‘The fact that the equilibrium of Europe is so nicely balanced that no settlement of dis- putes can be made without all powers’ having a finger in the pie, is one of the strongest of peace-influences. What isthe use of fighting for some one else to hold a post-mortem on your dead and administer upon your estate? ‘As Lincoln said, after you have fought as long as yo can, the questions at issue will still remain to be settled. Therefore, Germany’s non-committal and jackal-like attitude is a preventive of rash war measures. In that sense she’s truly a peace-officer. RULINGS. Ir Took along time to get a jury for Short. A TRUNK mystery—how it got through the custom house. Keiney’s motor hadn’t go enough in it to take him to Rome, though all roads lead there. Ir ts easy enough for our new President to maintain an appearance of gravity. Ie weighs 280 pounds. Now Col.

Tlow quier a becom nd orderly American life is ng as the new foreign consuls repair to their posts. Keiley alone leaves a great calm behind him, “Ir is said that when aman lies, the devil laughs.” Evidently there is no telephone between Hades and the court house, or he couldn’t find time for business. THERE never were so many avowed protestants among the Democratic leaders as have declared themselves since Cleveland inaugurated his polic Mr. Bayano’s ‘ inferiors” follow him in insolence towards Mr. Bayard’s superior. Southern editors have taken to calling Mr. Williams, Minister to Hayti, “a nigger.” Secretary Bayann’s treatment of the colored Minister to Hayti, Williams, shows that he could stand the test of color-blind- ness, All the same, he is hardly qualified for engincer of the administration. Tue Re . B. Thompson says dancing is not necessarily a sin. ‘This gradual let- ting down of the standards of morality is what encourages the lesser sins of cheating and lying in business, and stealing in finance.

In this lack of popular education we see the effects of the decadence of Greek and Latin requirements at our colleges. A peMocratiC reader, who likes the sym- pathy that Tue JupGe shows for the ad- administration-neglected Democracy, ob- jects to our picturing it as a shaggy, deso- late donkey. Tue JunGe explains that he intends by this merely to show the adminis- tration as tending to har’ass the party. comicbooks.com
