JUDGE THE CLOCK OF TIME. London Punch, September 8, 1888. LAD we start in the morning, by shining hope led. ‘We try with our might to o'ertake her And, to give us the joys that she shows just ahead, Beg the hours to fly fast while we make her. But when she grows frowsy, and turns to dull care, . We hang back with loathing and sorrow, And a few of the hours we once gladly would spare, We now seek with sadness to borrow. But, alas! Still the clock of old Chronos is stern, And never shows sign of relentin, Will not hasten though youth with impatience may burn, Nor drag for old age’s repenting. THE MEANS TO BRIBERY. TI1E CHECK of the president for $10,000 has inspired the Demo- cratic national committee to ask for funds all around the board, and they do it with the open and honest frankness of a highwayman who invites you to shell out your money or your life. It is a develop- ment in politics that was not dreamed of previous to this campaign. There was once a delicacy which was most excellent in matters of campaign finance, but it has become the extreme innocuousness of the largest descutude. But perhaps it is the later idea of civileservice re- form; and necessity may be the mother of something of that kind. SOME ODD SOLICITUDE. ONE WEEPS when one reflects on the Democratic sympathy for Harrison lest Blaine should overshadow that unhappy but well- meaning man, There has been nothing to equal it since the late Mr. Gesler trembled with fear that the Hon, William Tell would skip the apple and shoot his little son through his little bowels. There is a generosity of apprehension that cannot be praised too highly, and the Democratic press has it so badly that it is likely to die of it consider- ably before the object of its solicitude has reached the point of danger.

THE: PUBLICATION of Unser Fritz’s diary shows again that one should never keep a diary unless he proposes to burn it some days before it is made. THE attempt to resurrect the Blaine-Conkling trouble is about as profitable as the ques- tion at this time where Mr. Noah landed his truly primitive ark.
