Oh, very well. Let the Fourth of July go there also, and be hanged to it. THE PRESIDENTIAL EXCOMMUNICATION, Snarling is not pleasant. Denunciation does not always damn. The self-sufficiency of the Democratic pope fulminating his epistolatory lightning at the veterans to gather at St. Louis, and who saved for him by their courage the executive chair of an unbroken republic, is a picture of humiliating impotence. ‘The inkstand excommunication of President Cleveland will fall, however, with like force on the ranks that faced fiercer forces from braver hands. In the transmigration of souls it must be that the spirit of Jack Falstaff slipped over time and space from Windsor forest to Washingtot t, stripped of its original wit, had nothing left but his pinchback bravery and bombast. It is expected that the president of the Uni- ted States will be great by vio- lence or by deed. Will Pres- ident Cleveland ever learn that querulousness is not a measure of greatness, and snarling is not statesmanship? Does he not know that with th tinction of slavery or should come, the extinction of sectionalism; that violence would soften to suppression the old cry of pain as well as the pwan of exultation; that the bonds of unity are knit as quickly as the creeping bark covers the wounded tree ? THEIR EXPLOSIVE REPENT- ANCE. Mr. Blaine was crowded out of a reception in Edinburg ‘ANEW WAY TO GET REST, By a judicious use of little Peter's color-box the much abused uncle John secured a peaceful rest. given in honor of Andrew Carnegie, but quite as much in honor of Mr Blaine. Those Scotchmen are sometimes stupid, but they mean well After the reception, for instance, every scratching-post was worn to its marrow by the accusatory backs of the reception committee, snd the air of Edinburg was filled with Scotch malediction that finally burst in thunder and scattered lightning all over England and Irela: SPEAKING OF HIS MARRIAGE to Miss Katie Stokes, John Stetson says, with his usual exhibition of learning, “* Mirabile dictu! She broke her knee-pan, and this is the kind of an dent insurance [ am.” THE Boy wiTH his fingers blown ‘n off has sufficiently re begin calculations for the next blow-out. He may be disfig: his hands and countenance, but his heart, like the flag, is still th re, “THE NEW ACADIA. It is proposed that the battle-flags be burned. Well, if mankind is so sensitive that it cannot contemplate its own error without humili- ation oritsown victories without vani burning proceed, There should come from that, however, the destruction of all history and all fact of every kind. The progress of the world is made up largely of triumph and regret. and there is no individual and n. which have not their full share of both. If sentiment has the late delicacy that permits of nothing but the t that pl and submits only to the rose that no thorns, and if sentiment is to be cultured above everything else, burn the flags, the books, the records of every nation; blot out the memory, stop the government, and let us return to the period of the shepherd and his pipe. But there is a suspicion that men and women are still made of flesh and blood, as liable to mistake as to good action, and are as willing to submit to consequences as the Lord intended they should be, knowing that there nothing perfect in this world and that error is a part of the object of creation. nation tacu- SENATOR MAHONE SAYS he has no disposition to talk politics. He reminds one of the badgered and too interested witness who remarked confidentially to the court, ‘Well, by thunder! I don’t care much about this case anyhow.” If 1s THOUGHT now that Messrs. Pulitzer and Dana will fight, the one occupying the English and the other the French side of the channel. The only difference to be settled relates to the weapons— Mr. Dana wants to use columbiads and Mr. Pulitzer toy pistols. THE JUDGE'S REGRETS. To 20,000 citizens of St. Louis—Gentlemer : tended to accept your very cordial invitation to be present at t] ing exercises. He finds, however, that there is a weakness in the big bridge which will endanger to some extent the high office he carries; and again he would be less than frank if he failed to say that he has been deeply hurt at the remarks of some thoughtless though perhaps well-meaning citizens to the effect that he is bald-headed and that there are a few flies on the spot whereon the hair is popularly supposed to grow. The JupGE feels that nothing should be permitted to mar the asion, with the exception perhaps of the presence of a few citizens of Chicago who are liable to take care of themsel He has abundant conti in the Lonorable intentior the people of St. Louis, and he begs them to believe that he is without personal fear and has no selfish predilection in be- half of personal comfort; but he feels that the ended and he has nodesire to provoke another outbreak through any exhibition of himself or his high office as a dilapidated battle-flag or anything of a kindred nature. Go on with the celebration, gentlemen. Send the Jupce a humble sandwich by way of a reminder of the entertainment and he will be as contented as if he partook of the entire spread.
