THE DEVIL never advertises his as the best of watering-places. That is where he draws the line. ‘4G TEVENSON is hopeful for Illinois,” says a contemporary. So are we, general—so are we. GOVERNOR FLOWER rather prides himself on the way he poured Doyle upon the troubled waters. THEY TELL of a woman who is not afraid of a mouse, but we must expect all sorts of stories in campaign time. eee THRE LEGS of De Wolf Hopper when violently agitated remind one of the signature of the late Francis E. Spinner. vee SUMMING IT ALL UP, we think Judge Gresham refuses to make speeches because he re- cently sprained his ankle. eee ANARCHY on the part of work- ingmen is as bad as anarchy on the part of anarchists, and de- serves the same punishment. SHE WANTED MORE ROOM BELOW. = * Hr—"' Oh, cum on! dey’s lots ob room.” THE PRESS EVANGELISTS. ‘THE FREQUENCY with which some of our truly able editors call each other liars argues a sensitiveness in behalf of the truth which is extremely gratifying. When an editor is mad enough to swear because a contemporary lies he may be said to have buckled on the armor of reform. It 2s a little depressing to find that the word has been applied to every man within the armor, but it is an excellent thing to reform one’s neigh- bor if one can’t reform one’s self; and, after all, one may not necessarily be a liar because one’s neighbor says ne 1s a liar. VERY DANGEROUS HARMONY. ‘THE SNAPPERS and the anti-snappers are fighting hard—not the enemy, but each other. The mugwumps and Tammany have a con- tempt, one “hall” for the other, that has never been excelled, and take small pains to hide it, though indeed the mugwump press doesn't call Tammany men thieves, liars and rascals in general quite as often as for- merly. Hill has no good word for Cleveland, and the declaration that the Buzzard sage could not carry New York has not been retracted. Some- body says this is Democratic harmony with a vengeance, but it is not. The vengeance will not come to the surface until the 6th of November. THE DIVIDING LINE. JTHE SWITCHMEN of Buffalo were wronged, but that didn’t give them the right of arson or any other kind of crime. Heaven ought to give these and other struggling workmen a leader with sufficient judgment and discretion to know where to draw the line between the strike and the law- breaking. Possibly it is a fair argument that the outrage of the switchmen is a legitimate offset to that of the men who wronged them; but the latter, whatever their tyranny, do not become criminals in their meanness. Observe the law and respect the Property of others. Sometimes that seems hard, but it is just; and if the law cannot protect capital it certainly cannot protect labor. THE TARIFF—LABOR AGAINST LABOR. EPUBLICANS are silent, but not sleeping. The voters of the party are in mental train, and perhaps amusing themselves with the sophisms of the Democratic press and the ponderous platitudes of Buzzard’s bay. Mr. Cleveland is feeding his admirers, by freshen- ing up his political chestnuts, and expects fervent appreciation, as for a gift of new fruit, The unct- uous relish, however, with which he pointed to the troubles at Home- JSIMPSON has secured a sec- Sue—"'T know dey's a lot ob sittin’ room, but how abouten de futtin’ room?" stead as the dissatisfaction of labor ond nomination, and the boys are already taking off their coats and rolling down their socks for him. eee Rk, SHEEHAN says the man who lifts his hand to Grover Cleveland, save in the way of kindness, has probably secured four aces. wees — SUPPOSE if a dollar of the” World campaign fund should be used to buy a votest would break Joseph Pulitzer’s heart. E HAVE LONG thought that Pago Pago came within the jurisdic. tion of this government, and especially so “since we'learned of the existence of the place. Ti DITOR of the Lexington (Ky.) Sun crawled into the cylinder of his press to escape the necessity of assisting at a lynching. Thus we see again the power of the press. eae H., WATTERSON says the Democratic party has hoisted the black flag * of free trade. Since a little speech by Henry about the slaughter- house and the grave there was apprehension that he meant to put up the skull and cross-bones. HE TWADDLE about T.C. Platt and James S. Clarkson is very sickening. The people are not waiting on such men for instructions as to how to vote. ‘They do their own thinking and vote their own votes. Personally, Platt and Clarkson cannot control thirty votes apiece. at not getting a greater share of the margin of a protected industry is made more than ridiculous by sim” lar troubles at Buffalo, where an unprotected. industry is as maliciously attacked. If the ex-president is unreliable in his divination of cause and effect, can his most credulous worshipers have confidence in his infalli- bility? Is it not a bald fact that organized labor, a minority as to number, is fighting unorganized labor?) That While its leaders are trumpeting for liberty (?) it demands, liberty only for itself and absolute exclusion of any outside wage-earner? _ Individual rights are to be:trampled under. foot and all outside its breastworks are to be starved or shot. The cupboard and shelter are matters of absolute monopoly for the self-selected rulers of work. Mr. Cleveland should be appalled at this exhibition of industrial aristocracy—a kind of labor “ prohibitory tariff,"” carried out with cobble- stone, fire and the-shotgun.. These incendiary attempts to attribute murder, condoning the socialistic demands for division, to a protective policy tested by thirty years of” prosperity, are worthy only of a charlatan or a demagogue. Everyone’else knows that in free-trade England labor strikes have numbered nearly three to one in the United States; and that when the London stevedores and coal-miners went out, urging a rise of wages to a dollar a day, it was hunger that drove ninety-five thousand men to make that demand. The present political inertia is caused largely by distraction in other directions. We are watching social disturbances, and national affairs and national policies are temporarily eclipsed by domestic eruptions. The time is close, however, when the local volcanoes will cease and be subor- dinated to matters of national and continental interest. ha comicbooks.com
