Tuer puTy of the hour—To keep a pretty good watch of District Attorney Martine and his assistan Tue Rochester Herald says Riddleberger lacks discretion, It seems to most people that the trouble is an absence of brain and a pre- ponderance of idiocy. Tur STRIKERS say they are striking for their altars and their fires;but some of them do it in such a queer way that it looks as if they were striking to demolish them. Bwoop AXD CULTURE will tell. We observe that the Hon. Patrick Ryan has gone to the home of the Hon. J. Lawrence Sullivan to live, He will keep a classic bar-room. An Iowa JuDGE decides that a man must tell his wife where he spends his evenings, --It is evidently the purpose: of this person to make the wives of Iowa just a3 unhappy as he can. ‘Tue GREEKS are so anxious to get whipped that it seems a pity not to allow them the luxury. Still, itis more pleasant to tell what one would have done if he hadn't been held than what he didn’t do when his friends let him go. . THE communists of Chicago seek to unite themselves with the labor of that city, and there was a red flag in the great labor proces- sion here-the other night. _Down-with the red flag! Itis in league with the devil and all his workers. Ro.iin M. Squire yearned for the disposal of city patronage to the extent of $50,000,000. His is a poetic mind; but it is very strange that he had the bulging fullness of countenance necessary to ask the legislature to put that amount in his poetic hands. ‘THE GOOD PEOPLE of the south who screamed for a week over Jeff Davis and the lost cause have been making history for the Republican party hand over hand. Nothing could be more generous, and the dear souls have enjoyed it quite as if it were not a sacrifice but the most extravagant of all good-heartedness. Ir is not sufficient answer to say that the price of labor has advanced, unless it can be shown that the profits of labor have moved pari passu with the profits of capital ; for in this, as in other things of comparative welfare, we must consider the relative improvement. So says Jefferson Davis. It is a little vol- ume at this stage of labor agitation in a very small nutshell. Ir 18 satD that the president hopes to see Mr. Manning ‘‘around the cabinet table” next fall. Mr. Manning will have to enlarge himself very much in order to accomplish that difficult feat; and on the other hand if his health is not re- stored the days of Mr. Cleveland “around the cabinet table” can be calculated with perfect Mrs. Tuompson, the Louisville postmistress, says she has collected campaign money for both parties. It is possible for a woman to serve two masters conscientiously, but the mas ters are apt to be unreasonable and to insist on the propriety of adivorce each from the other gentleman, Did Mrs. Thompson ever think of that? One who signs himself *‘ A Laborer” chides the JupGE for saying in one breath that labor gets starvation wages and in the next that the Chinese and others of their kind come here to get rich and take their money to where they come from that they may live the rest of their lives in laziness. Well, it does look odd until one pauses to reflect that these foreigners live like cattle, which no American workman is expected to do, and that a few hundred dol- lars is a fortune to them in their old homes. The facts are too well known to be repeated, and we suspect that ‘A Laborer” is aware of them, innocent and ignorant as he assumes to y | bili 1 NO RED PLAG HERE! The American workman will not tolerate the red flag or any of the communism whi typifies. Laziness and viciousness are rejo ing over the dilemma in which the workm: finds himself, and would fain drag him to their level; but, though he occasionally gets ex cited and acts foolishly, he is on the whole a sedate, thoughtful, honest man and a good citizen and he proposes to wait a long time I fore he severs the nose from his own counte nance. There have been slight displays of nud flag within his circle on two or three occas ions, but he is prompt to disavow all responsi for them and in due season will give the |men who carry them the rebuke they deser The beverage offered him by the foreign vicious element will not be drank hastily. He has taken the advice of a Jubak poet: Yoost vait till der froth is settled Else you plows avay some peer. IS ITA SQUARE GAME? In the great base-ball game between law and honesty and our common council and corruption the chances rather favor the latter, and the only safe way to bet will be to put up | your money at the close of the game. Ju Barrett is a fair umpire and understands the game, and Pitcher Conkling can describe curve with perfect accuracy and at the sa time take the ear off the man in the middle of the diamond if he so chooses; but Catcher Martine has lost many games and has yet to win his first success, and it is notorious that men of politics and money have much faith in the ability of Batter Jaehne and are willing to risk large sums on him. It is to be noted, moreover, that while Pitcher Conkling threw the ball which is at present parting the ex pectant air he is practically out of the contest, and appears to be indignant about it. He thinks there is small chance for law and hon: esty, and that in assuming the management SIGNS OF THE SEASON. comicbooks.com
