THE AGE OF CAMPAIGN BUTTONS. Tt has one advantage; it saves one asking how a friend is go- HIS is a good time for patriotism, and it is amazing with what rapidity the president has pinched himself to a realization of that fact. HE RECEPTION to Jake Kilrain was the first Democratic thing of that kind in this campaign, and it must be admitted that it was quite formidable. HE DEMOCRATS can't have John L. Sullivan in the arduous work work of taking Canada, because he’s had his fingers shot off; but when Sir John Macdonald heard that Mr. Jacob Kilrain had arrived he shook in his boots, NOBLE SLUGGER whacked a little man over the head because the little man ran against him, * What did you do that for?" asked the little man’s friends at the funeral. “Oh,” was the noble slugger’s reply, “that was merely a little matter of retaliation. HIS SUDDEN COMPREHENSION. NOTHING recently has so surprised the American people as the mes- sage of Mr. Cleveland asking for power, or a renewal or enlarge- ment of power, to assert a certain self-respectfulness as against Canadian impertinence on behalf of the American people. After urging six months ago on the senate the ratification of a humiliating and ignoble treaty; after putting forward Senator Morgan as “ vocalist” for the administra- tion, who in a horrifying chant at- tempted to frighten that body by con- juring a vision of an English armada of iron-clads blockading our Atlantic ports, extorting tribute and even carry- ing away Mr. Watterson’s star-eyed goddess of liberty from the dome of the capitol at Washington, yet it was found that the American audience con- demned the combination play of Cleve- land, Bayard and Chamberlain. Mr. Cleveland urged that if as president he be not allowed to shake hands with and coddle John Bull and his little Canadian boy, he be permitted to kick them. The senate was re- quested to provide a copper-toed shoe to be worn for the occasion. It is evident that the head of the government was so preoccupied in for- getting the $22,000,000 river and bor appropriation bill, and in critically looking over the shaping of a veto o! twelve-dollar pension act, it did not occur to that this unused weapon he is now so anxious to apply had been placed in his possession over a year ago. He overlooked the fact that in 1887 a Republican senate granted a Democratic president authority that a Republican senate in 1870 for a similar Canadian provocation declined to give to President Grant. It may perhaps be due to mental abstraction that he overlooked this important prerogative, and in his his- torical delving discovered President Grant's message asking for similar powers, and conceiving it fitted his recently awakened belligerency, not dopted its sentiments, but, except in weakening it, pharaphrased its language. The country is to be congratulated, however, that the president has abandoned even temporarily the role of “crawler,” and will now see the way to an emphatic protest against such insults as were offered a year ago by Canadian officials in hauling down the American flag on an American vessel outside Canadian waters. The power has been unheeded in his hands, and any demand on the part of the president for explanation or apology is as yet unuttered. The essential difference between President Grant and President Cleveland is this, that while Grant deemed Canada but a semi-self- appointed and “ irresponsible agent ” of Great Britain, and in whose claims the United States did not propose to acquiesce, President Cleveland in his message urging the ratification of the treaty unnecessarily, as well as un- wisely, accorded to Canada the dignity and rights not of a colonial affix, A-S Dace comicbooks.com
