This is not fair. Henry ought to re- member that the president honestly intended to occupy Red Top four years longer.

MBS: HARRISON answers all the general's letters of congratulation, and does it so well that we begin to think she will be a power in the next administration, F UNCLE SAM had been half as generous as the average taxpayer during the holidays he would have spent the surplus and put a mort- gage on his entire farm. GOVERNOR HILL has apparently done his utmost to bring the boodlers to trial ; and the record of the last boodler trial shows that they will soon be happily relieved of their mild suspense. THE HARBORS of other nations will please go right to work to dredge themselves out. It is possible that our cruisers will want to go inside of them some day, and then they will want to know how to get them- selves out THE ATTEMPT to belittle Mr. Blaine by office as a boy its inventors, ing he is as ardent for hows a great deal of infantile idiocy on the part of Mr. Blaine is apparently attending to his own business, and his industry in that line furnishes an excellent example. eee THE OPPOSITION of the mug- wump papers did much to help the election of Harrison; and the only wonder is that their editors do not claim every one of the cabinet positions. BE GOOD AND BE HAPPY. NATALIE has been very warmly welcomed by the czar, who is a very sympathetic man ; and now Milan, her ex-husband, is extremely anxious to work himself into Russian official favor, not exactly in behalf of a desire to clasp hands across the bloody mat- rimonial chasm, but to save himself from being kicked off his throne. Natalie is a beautiful women, and her diplomacy equals her good looks; and really it ought to be demonstrated by this time that the marriage contract can be strained by no small king. that privilege being reserved for only the larger ones. THE OPENING OUTBURST. THE BOOM for David B. Hill on the first day of the year was a great boom, and not the less so because much of it was made by Albany and some other Republicans out cf respect for the office the governor holds. Men and associations from every part of the state took a lively part in that boom ; and it has been remarked that the regents’ punch for the occasion was more than usually strong. But it was a boom for ‘92, and no Demo- cratic beverage at this period can be toc emphatic for that. It has been semi-officially promulgated that David isto lead the Democratic column in 1892; and the boom was that of the opening gun and will send its echoes around the Union even as the first gun on Sumter sent its smoke around the world. And this is why, regardless of his cabinet selections, We present our profoundest congratulations to President-elect Harrison. "use me, sah, Luff yo! han’s off'n me! I steers NOVELS AND THE CHURCH. SOME CLERC i EN have determined to notice “ Robert Elsmere ” no more. That is well enough ; but when one looks back thirty years or so how odd it seems that these gentlemen should have noticed the novel at all. Within that limited period the work of fiction had no place in the libraries of the more orthodox of the creeds; and such novels as were read had to be given a very sober dress or be read surreptitiously by the older members of the family, Here is a great change, and a first-rate one ; and it is as complimentary to the church as it is to the hundreds of men and women who are writing very much of our best literature from day to day. comicbooks.com
