HAMLET BLAINE —To take, or not to take it, that’s the question : Whether ‘tis well to pin my honor fast To that long glory for which B. H. yearns — Such slings and arrows of outrageous fortune ! Or to take arms along with seas of friends— Forbearing to affront those million men— And by opposing end B. H.? To die—to sleep— No more; and, by a sleep, to say we end His heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks His Hesh is heir to—'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. * * * S. B. Elkins —Good my lord, how does your honor for this many a day? Hamlet Blaine—\ humbly thank you; well, well, well. QNE WORD, Mr. Blaine. Are your intentions honorable? eee ‘THE FACT that Fonseca was a good ruler is demonstrated by his resignation. eee F W. J. FLORENCE ever had an enemy it must have been the man who never met him. T. PAUL is more or less famous, but we must now speak of the gospei according to Minneapolis. THE NEXT THING to be investigated—The villainous cowardice of the senate of Pennsylvania. It 1S THOUGHT that on the twenty-sixth day of November Mr. Cleve- land felt like a surfeited bird himself. cee L RUSSELL is said to be tired of adulation; yet the date of the funeral * exercises has not been announced. WE TRUST the heavenly crops have been munificent, because Faster Stratton went over there with an all-absorbing appetite. cee COLLECTION of sermons written by the kaiser has the title “The voice of the Lord,” meaning perhaps the voice of the warlord. It MUST NOT be supposed that Yale has her brains in her heels or her intellect in her voice and stomach, because appearances are frequently deceiving. eee OLONEL LAMONT as the successor of H. Oelrichs would feel as much squeezed as the bung that tries to get into the hole made for the spigot. cee OME LADIES have organized a society for the darning of bachelors’ socks; but the fact is that the only man who has stockings with holes «in them is the man who is married. HAVE our own troubles. While Europe is affrighted at the ill- feeling between the czar and the kaiser, this country is still agitated over the resignation of H. Oelrichs from the Democratic national com- mittee. JONES SHOULD NOT have mugwumped. It is a mean thing for David B. Hill to keep him out of the governorship, and his mug- wumping is the very excuse Hill wanted. Loyalty is a great virtue, and one naturally expects there will be honesty even between Democrats. HE PARENTS of “ Owen Meredith” did some of the gushingest letter- writing ever written, and the mother was mean enough to publish the father’s portion of it after the inevitable separation; but the poet had the charm of his father without the malice of the lady, and if he had had both he might have been a greater man. ROSWELL’S CHANCES. MB: FLOWER is not fascinating; but he has money. and if it shall be demonstrated that he has good, rough common sense he may take a powerful hold upon the Democratic heart and hand, It is easy for plain men, who are largely in the majority, to conceive admiration for a man in position without show or pretension—indeed they have a liking for that sort of surprise. Let Governor Flower make no blunders and doa few sensible things, and he may be looked upon as a fine discovery. GOVERNING. THE REPUBLIC that springs from a monarchy is usually a miracle for temporary purposes. Within a few years Spain has tried it and failed, and will presently try it again; France has succeeded beyond her expectations, but invites danger by making an alliance with Russia and continually menacing Germany; and the Brazilians are in such agony of doubt and mistrust that they may take anything for peace, even to a royal figure-head that does nothing for them except to use up the surplus funds out of which some nations make civil wars. THE LATES' Mr. Raymond Lipe, who is an inveterate bicyclist, determines not to be deprived of his sport by the winter winds, and invents a bicycling-box. THE SEASON. THE AMERICAN CHRISTMAS begins with Thanksgiving and runs to the second day of the new year. That is the later custom, and it becomes more popular as time goes on. The first hard frost and the first snow, the tender icicle and the glittering crystal, are harbingers not so much of winter as of the season of good feeling, when hearts grow warm and the harder features of life melt to tenderness at the fireside proportionately as the cold strengthens without. We can’t have too much of this; and yet what is going to become of the family man when Christmas rolls all round the year? ‘THE BOOMING WEST. THE JUDGE sends greeting to Minneapolis. It is a great town. Its possibilities are as great as have been its performances, and we could offer it no higher compliment. Its recognition by the Republican national committee is a recognition as well of the great west and northwest, whose political voice has grown in volume and importance beyond the expecta- tion of the most sanguine boomer near unto the setting sun, We must readjust the political geography. What was west has become central and threatens the east. There are great men out there, as well as large com- munities with heavy votes. There are money and enterprise, and polish as well as push—the “ howling west” and the “ woolly west” are obsolete terms. Presently we shall have the question in earnest, “ Where shall the national capital be located >" and then those western brethren will whoop and win. comicbooks.com
