FRANK LESLIE'S WEEKLY is tho only illustrated Republican nows- aper in the country, and readers of the JUDGE and all Republicans will ind it a newspaper especially devoted to their Interests. CLEVELAND LUCK—The silver bill is dead. eee HAS DEATH been bought up by an Astor syndicate? REVISED POEM—George W. Morgan plays the harp. + fe ‘THE GREATEST FORCE LAW—The will of the majority. eee CYRUS W. FIELD—He put a girdle round the earth in forty minutes. AY GOULD did much fishing in Idaho, and every day he watered his catch. cee HE SUMMER HOME of the Clevelands is otherwise known as the place of the subdued angu- larities, HENRY STANLEY sold his naturalization - papers for a mess of pottage, and didn’t get the pottage. eee H's HORROR of the force bill is presumptive evidence that Grover has resumed the reading of the Sun, . THE MEANEST MISER—The man who has a hundred mill- ions and devotes his life to the get- ting of more. cee Wurre Wast—"' Lo'd, Lo'd ! GENERAL WEAVER doesn’t _ rice-puddin’ at us, Edif.” drink or swear. He's at the head of the alliance ticket, you know—not the prohibition ticket. eee [F HILL AND PLATT won't ratify will they kindly read a chapter of the bible and pass the contribution-box? eee CARRIED TOO FAR, the syndicate business will be dangerous. We may find that out before this country is much older. GENERAL BIDWELL is using the money paid him by distillers for his grapes to pay campaign expenses. ‘That's his idea of pro- hibition, [ F WE SAID anything unpleasant of Mr. W.W. Astor during his recent death, we beg him, now that.he is resurrected, to look upon it in the obituary sense. FFECTIONATE MEETING of two leading Democrats—" My senile patriarch, #et me embrace you.” “All right, Stuffy; but bear down lightly—the weather 's sticky.” E MUST RESPECT LAW. The workman's legitimate strength lies in the ballot-box. Let him elect men to congress and the legis- latures who will make laws to suit him. HE FORCE BILL is urged as an issue by the Democratic “ friends” of Mr. Cleveland for the purpose of beating that gentleman, and if he doesn’t know it he must be blind in both eyes. RICE AFTER THE WEDDING. ¥ I'd like t’ ketch de coon dat frowed dat OWNERSHIP IS SACRED. CWNERSHIP must be respected. Let us hope that the Carnegie com- pany will not get excited and do rash things against the strikers. Let them not take away, destroy or close the strikers’ homes. Let them not establish a police system that will prevent the management of these homes by the strikers themselves, There is a great principle here. > SAME OLD PARTY. THE COWARDICE of the Democratic party in raising the sectional issue to cover their retreat from the tariff is characteristic. It was always so. They didn’t indorse the fight for the union till the fall of Richmond; and the position at the tariff front to which Grover Cleveland drove them has so frightened them that they throw down their arms and run away before the firing of the first gun. NARROW-GAUGE PIETY. (CLOSE THE WORLD'S FAIR on Sunday and every liquor-saloon and house of ill-repute in Chicago will do great business on that day. And is there any good reason why it should be closed? Is the ex- hibition to be immoral? Is it sabbath-breaking to get instruction outside of the church on that day? Is the church the only public institution that should be opened on Sunday? What puritanic narrowness is this? AGITATION IS SAFETY. OME WOMEN who attended the two great national conventions tremble for the fate of the republic. They have also, we fear, been reading the alliance and prohibition platforms, poor things! But they needn't be alarmed. Political agitation is the life of republics. Without it they would die, and deserve to die. In this republic every man ought to be a politician, That means everything — education, the right and the wish to vote, argument, individual sovereignty, the safety of the only kind of government that is fit for man. FAIR PLAY FOR ALL, Me. CARNEGIE says there is the commandment, “Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor's job.” That is a law of every labor union, and a good one it is. But if unions and’ employers cannot get along peacefully together must good workmen who do not belong to the former starve? Must the shop be destroyed or locked against its owners and the men they wish to employ? That has a dog-in-the- manger look. Perhaps all labor should be organized; but it cannot be and never will be, and the unor- ganized army has rights which the organized is bound to respect. THE RIGHT .OF PRIVACY. R. CLEVELAND properly objects to the use of Mrs. Cleveland's and the baby’s names in this canvass; and yet women are doing public speaking in England, and the queen's name in that country is in every- body's mouth whenever that orifice is not opened for beer or roast beef. ‘There are two sides to this question. The king of Dahomey has an army of women; a number of women have won educational and other prizes; women are on the bicycle and the lecture platform, in the pulpit and the magazines and behind the counter, and two women at least are promi- nent as perpetual candidates for the presidency. But Mr. Cleveland is right; for with the other progress it is the right of a woman to remain in privacy if she and her husband so elect. THE SHRIEKERS AND THEIR BETTERS. THE OLDER Kate Field gets the more, she says, she has respect for the common variety of people and the less for the professional re- former. It is so with most older observers. The reformer may be honest, but for the most part he wants nothing so much as to be conspicuous. He mistakes notoriety for ‘ame; but he is willing to take anything that makes him an object of talk, and if he can be a martyr as well as a nui- sance there is balm for the vanity which he calls his soul. The common variety are the common-sense variety. Attending to their own business, they get along well enough. Tempted at times to severely reform the professional reformer, they even forego that pleasure; and in all respects they are our best citizens and our most sensible men and women. comicbooks.com
