J. MILLER says it is vulgar for a woman to use a toothpick, and yet she is always talking for a larger liberty for her sex. N MOST of the South American republics every citizen is so free and independent that he wants to kill off several of his neighbors. § AVID GRIEVE, like Robert Elsmere, makes himself undergo horri- ble torture to the end of being impossibly and miserably good. away from at present HERE IS DAN that several aspiring gentlemen will fall into the vaeancy created by the retirement of Mr. Blaine, and if they do a listening world will never hear the thud. ¢¢-THE VERY MENTION of salary to a wife brings an indignant flush to her cheek.” says a lady. Yes, dear; and to her husband's too. In fact his flush is indignanter than hers COLUMN in an evening daily tells just how Blaine resigned and what led him to do it, and frankly and sweetly closes with a dispatch in which Blaine says, “The report of my resignation is an infernal lie.”” HE FRENCH BALL occupiea very little space in the newspapers. We should look upon this as progress but for the fact that the kicking at the French bail went away up to the ceiling and metaphorically stayed there. AN UNWILLING ASSISTANT.

A STATE SENATOR proposes that New York's exhibit at the world’s fair be closed on Sunday even if the rest of the fair is kept open. Better the honest, open way. No side-doors and no family entrance. ‘That is the best Sunday which gives most rest, most innocent enjoyment, most legitimate information. THE PEOPLE RULE. HE TOWN ELECTIONS show unmistakably the stern and severe judgment of the people against the unseating of men fairly elected. Perhaps David B. Hill can understand now that honesty must in the end prevail, though it is likely that the lesson comes too late to do him any especial good. And the change in the house of representatives following * the speakership of Mr. Reed shows that honesty is a national as well as a local virtue. REVIVE THE SCRIP. ‘THE GREAT WANT of the business of this country is fractional paper currency. Stamps as a medium are a nuisance and are sold at a large discount, and the postal note is expensive and unsafe. The shinplaster of the war period was so convenient for mail transactions that its disappearance has been regretted ever since it occurred. Is it not amazing that congress does not provide sorne means of sending legiti- mate fractional currency by mail ? THE LEGAL DEATH. THE ANARCHISTS of Spain are much excited because four of their number have been garroted. They object to the fact, but cry out especially against the horror of the method. We are afraid there will never be a method of execution that will suit its victims and their friends. Scientists and other learned men have tried in vain to provide one. Most persons object even to dying comfortably in their beds. But anybody can escape execution. It’s easy enough. All the man has to do is to omit murdering and behave himself. JOHN’S PREFERENCE. ‘¢WVE SHOULD do our utmost to encourage the beauti- ful,” says Goethe, “because the useful takes care of itself.” It is in this spirit, doubtless, that the Chinaman in search of religious in- formation selects for his teacher the prettier of the young ladies of the Sunday-schools; and really it oc- curs to us that it is evidence of his worthiness and his desire to’ be in touch with the progress of modern civilization. Almost every male young student of biblical history resembles the young Chinaman in this particular, and in good truth many of the older. male students. We have frequently noticed it. d do it for yer; but I'm in- THE JEWISH CUTICLE. THE JEWISH PRE has commented at much length, and in most: cases with sense and discrimination, on the recent JUDGE cartoon giving a general view of the Jewish situation. The J/ewish Chronicle of Boston recognizes the compliment as well as the satire and the fact in- volved in the picture, and protests against the sensitiveness which would forbid such publications—a sensitiveness, by the way, that no American, or German, or Irishman has been known to be afflicted with. The Jewish Times and Observer of San Francisco says the picture is “a deserved but not intended compliment” to the Jews—a conclusion that is not wholly just, because no man is infallible in his judgment of another man’s motive After all, it is individuals rather than races that can be judged with entire fairness; and the JUDGE for its part, while admitting that the ostracism formally begun by Judge Hilton may be unavoidable, would be guilty of the most deplorable meanness were it to encourage an ignorant prejudice against the race which rules governments with its finance, has contributed so largely to art, literature and statesmanship, and whose blood runs in the veins of the Man worshiped by far the larger portion of the religious world. comicbooks.com
