H WATTERSON thinks at this writing that he doesn’t know whether * he knows or not. i. M®- MAYNARD will wear that spring overcoat of whitewash until it freezes him to death, eee O FAR as*Mr. Godkin is con- cerned, General Butler had bet- ter return the cork to that bottle, SAAC P. GRAY may be men- tioned, with Mr. Dickens's man, as the afternoon shadow of some- body else. seTHE LEGISLATURE of New York imight have been worse,” says an exchange. We'll het five. dollars of it. vee THE MAN who doesn’t know when he is whipped may have pluck, but his great trouble is a lack of special and general information. HE GREAT LOTTERY is dead, There is nothing of that kind left but the luck of the church fair and the guessing chances of the newspapers. WHat AN INSULT to Mr. Blaine it is to insist that his declinations to run for the presidency incere. What is the man to gain by lying? Mr. Rupers Mr. CLesat — “Sho! I knows it. UBLIC SENTIMENT—That Lieutenant Hetherington was right in shooting the man Robinson, in Yokohama, whether he was right or not. T IS SUCH a pity that the Whitechapel murderer might not have been brought before the late New York legislature for investigation and whitewashing. 4] COST the sugar trust five million dollars to get Claus Spreckels into their monopoly,” says an exchange. Oh, no. That's what it cost the people. A WOMAN in Fort Worth, Texas, who recently shot her husband dead, it is remarked, “She is now in jail and will not talk.” Merci- ful heaven! what retribution is this? eee R. GODKIN must not be condemned for trying to bribe a policeman with a five-dollar bill. ‘The brevity of the money shows ignorance, not guilt, And to condemn him would be to adopt his method of judg- ment, which is monstrously unfair. A CHANGE ANYWAY. Mr. Cea —"' T's takin’ my vacation,” Yo" nebber done a stroke ob wuk in yo! life befo’." Da's whad meks dis yer a vacation.” A SOCIETY SETTLEMENT. T IS ANNOUNCED that Mrs. Astor-Drayton will take her old place in New York society directly, and that her husband will kindly drop out of sight in some foreign locality. Possibly the lady can do as she pleases, for society is sweetly kind; and the punishment of the gentleman for his wife’s sin is quite according to usage as long as the person called Borrowe is alive. THE SHAME OF IT. OYES of Hill's congressional district got more votes than Rockwell, and the courts and the house committee on elections decided for him; but what of that? Hill declared that he must be given Noyes’s seat simply and solely because he was a Democrat, and Hill prevailed. Well, it is Hill's only triumph for some time, and if Rockwell can stand that kind of whitewash Hill can stand that kind of victory. OUR COMING BILLIONAIRES. N TEN YEARS the officers of the Huckleberry road will be so rich they will be unable to compute their millions; but the legislature of this state has no right to give away the property of this city, and there may be a higher law that will make them wish they had never been born, Surely there ought to be; and at that period Governor Roswell P. Flower will be principally recalled as the chief of their illegal and awful avarice. THE MAN IS CHOSEN. AS THE “JUDGE” has said, Grover Cleveland will be nominated on the second ballot, if not without the formality of a ballot. He will have the Chicago convention as completely as he had the one at St. Louis, and the issue will be the tariff, as it ought to be. This will make a clean and an able campaign, and the best man will win, And then, if there is a decrease in the honest Democratic vote in this state, Senator Hill will be as un- happy in ‘96 as he is at this melan- choly moment. THE MAYNARD BRAND. UDGE MAYNARD escapes through the success of his crime. Thieves buy their liberty with the money thgy steal. A Dem- ocratic legislature, the creature of robbery, acquits the man who did the robbing. But the moral judg- ment is fixed and unalterable, and Jedge Maynard will wear his brand till he dies; after that his memory will take it, What is the crime of the ordinary thief. in comparison with that of the man who steals the system which is the foundation of all our government? COLUMBUS AS A PIRATE. THE HISTORIANS are declaring with marked emphasis, backed by voluminous documents, that Christopher Columbus was a buccaneer and a man of fiendish cruelty and unbounded avarice. It is the fate of greatness to suffer from this kind of history—and frequently to deserve it. Most of the discoverers were men with an eye to one fixed and definite purpose, against which all tenderness, fot to say all honesty, was of no account. It must be remarked that in their cases the end justified the means; and in that view of the matter it must be insisted that there shall be no postponement of the Columbian effulgence at Chicago. ONE OF THE NAPOLEONS. DINAND WARD is honestly sorry. He was a generous soul in his fictitious prosperity, and others reaped more benefit from his Napoleonic finance than he. There must have been insanity in his com- position, and it can do no harm to recognize that fact now. There could have been no insanity in the case of Banker Fish, who, with others, looked upon him as a pigeon to be first plucked and then spitted. But the bit- terness of Ward's punishment lies in the fact that his example has been followed by a number of young men who are either in prison or going to get there; and it is the more acute because of the boy whom it is his chief purpose to serve through the remainder of his life, and whom it will be his constant care to deliver from temptation. rE comicbooks.com
