THE FIRST WORDS uttered by George Washington were, “I have come to stay,” as if he thought he were going to be a daily newspaper; and he still re- mains, NO MAN was more loyal to his belief than John Calvin. He would have saved the throne of heaven if the slaughter of the world had been necessary to that splendid consummation. eee SALAMANCA, governor-general of Cuba, is dead, It is an act of extreme generosity for a Span- ish official in Cuba to die; but it is understood that Salamanca was Conroy —"J about to be superseded and died Keuty—""It's mesilf, Murty. as a matter of self-defense. HE KAISER and Bismarck are anxious to do all they can for the workingmen, and are giving much of thetr time to the subject. And wisely, for the workers are on a war-footing as well as the military. [™ 18 SAD to read that Mr. Whittier is pestered by curiosity-seekers, and has given his barber orders to burn every hair clipped from his good old head; yet we suspect the barber of a little surreptitious advertising to the effect that he is open to bribery. WHEN G. Washington's soldiers got to quarreling among them- Ives G. W. generally took them by the hair and knocked their heads together. “1 am ashamed of you, gentlemen,” he would then remark. “Do you want the world to look upon you as a mere New York legislature discussing the world’s fair?” [T 1S THOUGHT that Belgium will be the fighting-ground of the next contest between France and Germany. It is a good idea to select outside territory for these little affairs; but Paris, with its accus- tomed politeness, ought to fit itself up for the accommodation of the German army in case that large body of men desires to pay its respects. GEORGE’S MANUAL. N OFFICER said to General Washington, on being requested to charge a battery, “Sir, the order is out of order. I am not pres- ent and therefore there is not a quorum.” “I guess,” said the general, wiping his chin with parliamentary deliberation, “there is enough of you HE THOUGHT ALL WRONG. “Jimmy Kelly, be all th’ saints!" Conroy —"'I'm t'inkin’ th’ cabin yez had in Glannockerty bate th’ place yez live in now, but if Mrs. Kelly’s below Oi'll go down an’ shek th’ hand av her.” here to make a target;" and he ordered him out to be shot for insub- ordination and putting obstructions in the line of battle. As the officer did not return, the conclusion was irresistible that he was enough of a quorum to entertain a proposition to adjourn sine die. HE MANAGES HER. HE WIFE of D'Oyly Carte was offered five thousand pounds a year to manage for another man. This was before her marriage. Now she manages Carte and has general charge of his business, and gets whatever her husband chooses to give her. This shows—and we trust Mr. W. S. Gilbert will make a note of it—that a woman has no business capacity except for the minor details that anybody ought to manage. ‘out HE FOOTBALL of the Columbian fair has been well kicked by rival cities, and now that the athletes of sea-board and prairie have grown weary political animosity has taken part in the conclusion of the game, The struggle in New York of urging and hindrance has been purely a political contest. The Democratic organization, with Mayor Grant as its prestidigitateur, slid the mouse very adroitly into the meal. It was expected, perhaps, that the nibbling little animal would not be revealed. ‘The direction and expenditure of vast sums and the political in- fluence on labor were without doubt to be feared. The mayor of New York, who, more of a czar than Speaker Reed. and less scrupulous in ignoring precedents, shaped the great organization of its police into a dependent and reliable machine by putting the force under undivided political con- trol, was not likely, no matter how thick the wordy honey that hid the sting, to neglect at proper time to use the business end of the Demo- cratic busy bee. Had not 1892 been apolitical year no. protest could have been shaped. In a po- litical year the temptation of con= trol by either party is too great. If the world’s fair is lost to New York its loss will be through the rivalry and mutual suspicion of its misuse by the great political contestants who, in so close a probable struggle, dare not either give the oth@ the least strategic advantage. The time allotted for proper preparation is already too brief, and the narrowing months will add enormously to the hurried cost, or from incompleteness give us a fiasco instead of a fair. It is absurd to think or say that we can do in a day the work taking a European a week. Even national vanity should flavor itself with sense. The drawbacks of a presidential year are always great. Public meetings and parades are chronic disturbers and detractors of business. ‘The depression is felt of doubtful issue. The air is filled with clamor and fright. Men, aside from the discussion of principles, are strain ing to retain or gain nutritious place. Furthermore, the means of transit to the “scene of sights” would be lessened by the clog of campaigning. Why burden the autumn of platform and procession hurrah and music in every hamlet with the certain curtailment of chances of suc- cess? Why not have the commemorative fair of Columbian discovery in 1893? The political skies would be cleared, the anguish well over, the wounded removed. May, 1893, is as near the date of discovery as May, 1892. It was in fact the middle of October when Columbus pressed foot on the island that he thought was the Indies, never dream- ing that he had found a new world. A world’s fair if hela in 1892 will open its finished or partly fin- ished portals about six months before the commemorative date of the event it is intended to celebrate. If the fair be held in 1893 it will commemorate simply six months later. Neither inauguration can be exact as to date, and the later ap- proximate anniversary could be and would be, by the extension of time and total abrogation of political rivalry, a national success.
