AN EXCHANGE says Mr. Flower will go thundering down the ages. What in that sort of thing will he do that for? T MUST NOT be supposed that if Bourke Cockran elected to congress he will cease to do business at the old stand. THE MARRIAGE of Josie Mansfield teaches us again that several experiments of that kind are not necessarily a failure. A CORDUROY ROAD isa bad thing to ride over, but it isn’t half as bad as one of Mr. Cleve- land’s ponderous and awful sen- tences -f & HEAR of a child that boasted it had more measles than its little brother; and they y Goldwin Smith is the most prolific writer in Canada. E ACCESSORIAL Yo", Reg’nal 1 Mrs, CREEDLEY Reoiwatp — Mrs, CREDLE! Da’s how I know: [18 RIGHT that Mr. Cleve- land should stand by the party that stood by him, and none the less so because it alienates the kind of friends he most values. "How I knows? . HEN A PRIMA-DONNA is asked regarding the health of her husband she usually replies, “ You must consult my manager. He is taking the prescriptions now THE TIGER had opened its jaws to take in the world’s fair, and it is really a question whether it wasn't better to give it to Chicago than let it disappear within the remorseless cavern thus disclosed. A WOMAN in Paris hung herself to a gas-jet, leaving the explanatory note, “I die because I am disgusted with marriage.” The cable explains the matter. She had had three husbands and couldn't get a fourth. [71S HARD that the world’s fair should have been lost to us through politics; but because we lost the world’s fair, through the fault of whichever of the two parties, will it be anything of a remedy to lose every- thing else? ROVER is getting the most applause and David is doing the best talking. Things are not properly regulated in this world, and it is sad to think that so far as these gentlemen are concerned they won't im- prove much in the next How yo" knows hit’ ain'd clean?" GE A PROFESSOR of the Lick observatory says he has discovered snow on one of the mountains of the moon. We do not know that it is worth while to deny this monstrous statement. It is so obviously a cam- paign lie that it refutes itself. B'SHOP POTTER says Bishop Phillips Brooks is most to be praised for his sympathy with and his enduring faith in human nature. This is the highest compliment for both bishops, and a truth in behalf of human nature, that always and everywhere does the very best it can. . THE JUDGE gives Mr. John A. Sleicher its blessing with his assump- tion of the position of editor-in-chief of Colonel Shepard's Jfas/ and Express. His judgment is good, his discretion is excellent, his force is unquestioned, and his convictions are honest, well chosen and well fixed. Good luck and good life to a good fellow and a worthy man. E_ BEG to chide the “county” Democracy for the charge that Tam- many hall beat Hancock. The state canvass for 1880 shows that that business was done by the followers of Samuel J. Tilden, General Hancock was the choice of Tammany, and but for that body Mr. Tilden would have been renominated notwithstanding his letter of declination, so called. WE MUST INSIST that there shall be no Democratic bolting. While it is true that Tammany hall ran John Kelly for governor, thereby beating Lucius Robinson, the regular candidate for governor, in 1879. that was several years ago, not to mention the fact that it was a poor year for crops. This year the crops are abundant, and that shows that time ameliorates; and what shall it avail a “county” Democrat, after all, if he put in his vote against the whole of the Tam- many ticket and lose his own soul just the same? THE BYGONES. THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY. A VICTORY for the Republi- cans in this state this year means a national Republican vic- tory next year. It is pretty well demonstrated that Mr. Fassett and Mr. Vrooman are not Mr. Platt’s men—they are abundantly able to go it alone; but if it were other- wise it would not be advisable to lose the state, and thereafter the country, in order to spite Mr. Platt or any other individual. The late Mr, Aaron suggested to the now equally defunct Mr. Moses A that it would be a good thing to cut off their noses; but Mr, Moses remarked that it was the fashion to wear noses and he would retain his as long as he had a countenance to wear it on, That was yery ordinary wisdom, but it was large in com- parison with that of the Republican or mugwump who would give his soul to the Democracy for the privilege of scratching the face of T. C. Platt. NDICATIONS. * go wash yo! face.” Horo I kn ? Look "r dem flies! THE COLORED BROTHER. MB: JOHNSON, the coloréd-man who has declared for Flower, alleges with much truth that the colored men have not had their share of the offices. We have often thought of this, It has been urged by other colored men, Down south, in localities undisputedly under the control of black men so far as majorities go, there isn’t one black man in office, and it is even asserted that though they have the privilege of the ballot their votes are not counted. Several years ago there were colored men in both houses of congress; but since the retirement of Mr. Douglass there is no prominent black man with a prominent position with the exception of ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce, who we believe is register of deeds for the district of Columbia. All this is unfair. Irishmen have no difficulty in getting official honors, and most of them are not natives. Still, Mr. John- son may be too frank. Are we to infer that if colored men were given offices they would be loyal to the party which gave them their freedom ? If that is the case is it not, after all, on the one side a matter of bribery and on the other of pique, or disappointment? We trust we are not right. comicbooks.com
