THE JUDGE PUBLISHING CO., rypastminr savar=, THe word “holocaust” has been revived, and, alas! there is the-blood to show for it. THE QUESTION of trousers or no trousers is being agitated. ‘We know not what others may think, but as for usgive us trousers or give-u a aces clirnate. _ Gexegic Logan says the secret executive sessions Of -the senate are a childish and an ab- solute farce.

Now thatthe romor nor of th the president's pro- posed’ marriage to Mist’ Kolsom has been re- vived, with renewed evidgnce-of its truthfal- ness, praise of the young Indy is more Folsom: than it ever was before. Ir Mr. Joseph Pulitzer wants to retaliate on the editor of the Sun with the full force of mysterious insinuation, let him ask in thunder tones, ‘‘ Where did C. A. Dana get those chick- ens? And how is it that they were found in his coop?” Ir is understood that recently George Jones and Whitlaw Reid met for the first time; and} one can readily believe it from the fact that George has a swollen nose and Whitelaw a Vit of courtplaster over his left eye. It ap- pears, if accounts are to be reliéd upon, that they were effusively affectionate. Tne JupGE is obliged to return to their authors so many articles of excellence, for lack | the sp necessary to use them, that it be- lieves th the most gifted country, from a literary point of view, in the world. It may be compensatory to the authors in ques- tion to know that if the rejection causes them one pang it costs the JUDGE a great many; is the experience not of one day but 5 {of every.day in the week. THE GOVERNOR vetoes a bill giving the police captains of this city higher salaries, and says he does» it in behalf of the principle that the city'srould be permitted to manage its own affairs: Inasmuch as the bill was drawn up| and approved by various:of the local authori- ties, it strikes us the governor violates the principle considerably more than anybody else. Mr. Curtis does not ‘expect that capital will boycott labor and proclaim a universal lockout, bat. he asks, What if it should? Well, the public might object, The law might object. Above all, capital would be worried about it, for it would try the experiment at an overwhelming loss, besides robbing itself of most of the necessaries and comforts and lux- uries of life. However, theré is nothing im- possible. The rest of the heavenly bodies may conclude to boycott this planet-directly. ROOM FOR THB | IMPENDING IRISH OPERA. Neither the native-born nor the adopted citi- zen must ‘be snubbed or forgotten. German and Italian life have held the larger portion of the opera of the past, with a sprinkling of Spanish scene and incident and adventure by way of ‘Variety, and now and then the grateful appedrance'of the Greek maiden and her brig- and lover. These things are well enough, and are more enjoyable to the mass when done in English despite a certain affectation to the op- posite effect; but the youth and the maiden from Erin have been totally neglected, and the village and city life of the land of the harp is as unknown to the operatic boards as if there were no such life in the world. Our artist contemplates, however, if we judge his work correctly, a representation of the Irish ele- ment as it exists here. It will give the simple employments of Patrick of the hod and pick and Kathleen of the convenient clothes-pin; and while it will not be rendered in the Irish of the ancients, very little of which is spoken in Ireland anyhow, or yet in the English with which most of us are iliar, the utterance employed will be that excellent mixture of both which General Scott once affectionately mentioned as the sweet Irish brogue. This is to be the coming feature of the operatic stage, and it will certainly possess an interest which all recent opera has failed to produce. Robbing the male, TIME 3 A. M. A VERY BAD LOT. ‘The Easter eggs represented on our front page are not nice. They were laid too soon and have been kept too long. The system of the hen that produced them is badly out of order, and it ought almost to be said that she should never be permitted to do any laying or hatching again. She need express no great horror, however. She knew all about those eggs in the beginning of them. She has no call to be surprised. The old conundrum ““Why is a hen?” stops right there. Let us |add to it the interrogatory “Why should a hen?” -And then let us remark that after t en has, she needn't cackle as if over a leg | mate production, or, failing to do that, assume an expression composed in about equal pro- portions of surprised innocence and pronounced disgust. The politics of this city have never been ex- traordinaril¥ good. The matter of bribery ex- tends from the ward politician to the political manager and the office-holder through whose “‘inflooence” he was given his place. The y begins at the polls and runs all through the local political system, The man elected frequently expends more than his official sal ary to have that: so-called honor.” The alder men under indictment are protected to a greater | or less extent by the various party or factional | organizations to which they belong, and ex- traordinary effort will be made to save them from the punishment they deserve. But they are a bad lot and they must go. What was done to the Tweed ring can be done to the existing one, and the day of retribution is at hand. THE CONGRESS OP THE BIRDS. Beasts, fish and birds fur, fin and feather —were created largely for the benefit of man, and likewise woman. The stomach of the man is not the most important part of him, either. His brain is to be ministered to as well as his appetite. He has an eye for beauty and an ear for music. They must swim for him, roar for him, sing for him. They must gratify his curiosity and hislove of sport. They must be cribbed, cabined and confined, that he may learn their ways. It seems cruel, but it is the main condition of their lives. Possibly they would complain if they were given tongucs wherewith to speak as well as to sing, blest and howl; but they were not, and doubtless comicbooks.com
