A MISTAKE IN THE PERSON. Linciey (ef Maine, who has been in New York a month, Here comes the famous Warde MacLaster.” Dox CAMERON shows a good deal of statesmanship in his re- elections, see MBE: MOODY is doing such effective work in Boston that there can be no doubt ‘of the return of Massachu- setts to the Republican fold.

Let Mr. Bennett come hor.e and get natural- ized at once. o- THE INDIAN SITUATION —The war department aid the secretary of the interior are closinz in upon each other, and the Indian ag-nts are bum- ming the reservations. THE FORCE charged upon the elec- tions bill was recertly usurped by the bill's oppowents, and we cannot help thinking it -.ot only injudicious but dangerov... Are our liberties safe against this senatorial tyranny? . ‘©\VHEPE WAS DANA," asks a Democratic paper, “when the Cleveland fight of 1884 was going on?” Under the ammunition- wagon, we think, playing seven-up with Benjamin F, Butler. see GOP ENGLISH, good English! That at least may be said of Gov- ernor Hill's message. There is not a superfluous word in it. It is clean and supple and handsome, and every paragraph closes like the snap of a whip. . ous when them chops is fried, waiter.’ THE KING IS THE KING, BISMARCK as a ruler was a man of iron. As a private citizen he is a man of pulp, fretful and peevish and living mostly to lament. Age has something to do with this, but position is opportunity and the lack of t the loss of it. The man should have died with his armor on, and he hight have done so but for the fact that it had grown irksome. Pressed for his resignation, he invoked the power of a woman to save him, and it was all the more humiliating because he had purposely made her his enemy. And it pains him most to see how much he is forgotten and how well Germany gets on without him. (as he gets started) —" Have plenty of lard is showing his eastern cousin the sights)—"* Look, quick, Mamie! ANDREW. NEVER come around to the cighth of January without think- ing of Andrew Jackson. His memory is a hitching-post for every Democrat to tie to, Is the Democrat stupid, slow, turgid, he is all the more a Jack- son individual. Is he quick, apt, ener- getic and shallow, behold you that Jacksonism too! Does he believe in state rights, or is he a nationalist and an advocate of a great central power, there is your spirit of Jackson. Democratic ideas of which Andrew never heard are fastened upon his shade, and fads and factions are ‘ac credited to his shadow until the name has as much strange ornament as a beaded and brassed and painted In- dian. Poor old boy! Had he known what speeches would be made to his memory, what verse would be let loose to disfigure it, what wine would drown it, what hoarse and wheezy trumpets would blare it and small fifes squeak it, he would have wished to coil it up and carry it with him to a better world, THE LESSON OF ALASKA. A MINER offers this government fourteen. million dollars for the te1 tory of Alaska. It cost the government seven and a half million dollars to get the territory. The bargain was consummated under the administration of Andrew Johnson by the advice of Secretary Seward. Since then the territory has paid for itself several times over, and its value has hardly begun to be developed. ‘The peaceful way of acquisition is the better way. Dollars are of less value than lives. If the Sandwich islands are for sale they ought to belong to us. The Bermudas have a com- mercial value which would become limitless in case of a naval emergen Cuba is ours by choice of a majority of her people, but the honest pur- chase is the best victory. Nobody here wants Canada, but if she wants to buy the United States whose business is it so much as that of the con- tracting parties?. Mr. Seward was a great statesman. Mr. Blaine’s ‘methods are, as were Mr. Seward’s, the methods of a man of peace. And diplomacy is as much better than force as dollars are cheaper than lives, comicbooks.com
