BRIGGS having been acquitted. his church must be brought up for heresy and punished to the full ex- tent of ecclesiastical law. R. CLEVELAND cannot afford to nurse and cherish his hatreds as Mr. Dana does his, but he has the ability and the disposition. THE HAT of Mr. Cleveland’s grand- ather would rest on the head of the president-elect like a pint cup on the biggest pumpkin at the county fair. MAYOR GILROY might have ap- pointed better men than gam- biers, but he certainly should have set an example to the law by drawing the line against murderers. CHAIRMAN CARTER concedes the national senate to the Demo- Dear, generous soul! He did that, inadvertently perhaps but none the less surely, long before the election.

THE VERMONT BABY of Rudyard Kipling must not talk through its nose or it will shock its papa to death, Let a hat be provided for the little dear at once. THE CRUSADE against tall hats in theatres is thought by the Troy Press to be boorish. Why, certainly, Might as well make a fuss if the curtain is up only between the acts. ST PETER is quoted too much; but it seems to us that his decision not to admit anybody who hasn’t a letter of introduction from Mr. Cleveland is entitled to some consideration, HEN MR. MURPHY gets to heaven and tries to put on his crown some good mugwump will scream out, “Here, you uncultured 1, put that down! We want it for Carl Schurz.” [8 ORDER to be habitable, thinks the Chicago Afai?, all that Chicago needs is elevated tracks, clean streets, pure water and pure air. In other words, let there be a new Chicago and there you are. HE EDITOR of the Elmira Gazette finds much to approve in the Democratic jackass—his patience, his sure-footedness, and perhaps the sustained coarseness and oiliness of his ambitious voice. The editor of the Guzet/e is a philosopher, but his ear needs culture. EACON WHITE of Brooklyn failed a little over a year ago, and since then has made enough to pay nearly two million dollars of debt, with interest. The right to make that amount in one year may be questioned, but the honesty is beyond controversy. MACHINES AND MACHINES. R. CLEVELAND is as opposed to machines as if he were a mug- wump in name as well as nature, but he will set up his machine in order to break that of Croker, Murphy and McLaughlin. It will, however, be built from the same pattern, spoils being its motive power and every cog and wheel moving from that inspiration, with the oil of malice and revenge to accelerate the movement. OUR LITTLE SISTER. ET US DROP AMBITION, Let us take up charity and good will. Let us have Cuba merely to deliver her from the unfathomable dam- nation of Spanish control. She fought seven years for her liberty, as we did for ours, and she has suffered ten times more than we. She is merci- lessly robbed and outraged to make various Spanish holidays. It is time for a change. Shall we have her in ‘93, or wait till ‘94? THE PERIL OF SUCCESS. HE LEGISLATURE of this state is not owned by the president-elect. we think. Indeed there are indications of various Democratic county committees which indorsed Mr. Murphy having opinions of their very own; and those committees were made up of men who voted for the gentleman mentioned and who are ready to indorse his management of his own business. It takes a good man to keep his head level in time of affliction, but a better one to manage it modestly and properly when every- thing is going his own way. OH-H, FRANCES! RANCES WILLARD tells that in the wild and reckless days of her blooming girlhood her papa wouldn't let her ride a horse, so she harnessed a cow and rode her. We have frequently felt called upon to chide this lady for the forceful and pugnacious reckless- ness of her later years; and now that she is confessing her earlier sinfulness it will directly transpire that she also ate slate-pencils, played seven-up, chewed gum, and rode the banisters. And what kind of an example is that to set before the girlhood of these perilous times? ROSES. ‘Th’ goat's a-eatin’ all th’ roses in THE HIGH PRIESTS OF THE LAW. LAW of 1791, still in force, has been used for the annoyance and suppression of the Pittsburg Sunday Leader. Everything outlaws but the law itself. The respect given to that is a species of worship that belongs to the period of witchcraft. The assumption that because an en- actment of 1791 has not been repealed it must be used in 1893 by mali- cious persons for the suppression of justice and fair play is a breach of decency and common sense of which even the law itself ought to be ashamed, The bar and the bench, the Dogberrys and the Divvers, de- mand more patience of the people than the church ever dared to ask. POLITICIANS. R. CROKER is severely rebuked for remarking that he should recom- mend politicians for office—men who could give their whole time to their official duties, rather than citizens whose personal business left them time merely to draw their salaries. Now there are better politicians than Mr. Croker and his followers. but is there not a very good political and business principle in Mr. Croker’s declaration? Has not a man a right to be a politician? Is it not every citizen’s duty to be a politician? Is it disgraceful to be a politician? Is it not a disgrace to the good people of this city that they allow Mr. Croker's organization to monopolize that magnificent privilege? There must be a head, or a boss. If Mr. Croker is not the proper man why not vote him out and put another man in? Let us not confine ourselves to the proposition that the politician is neces- sarily a bad man, That is not so. But for the politicians we should have no government at all. Mr. Croker is not the ideal politician, but there has been too much mewling and whining over polit class. comicbooks.com
