THE RECONCILIATION of Milan and Natalie will lead presently to a irightful tragedy, and we trust the woman will continue to be the better half of it. Quay LOOMS UP higher than Mur- phy, anyhow, says the St. Louis Globe - Democrat. and we guess of it, He does, certainly; ward is rather proud WE JUDGE from frequent allusions to Dan Lamont that that gentle- man is to occupy all the cabinet positions and subsequently to be a justice of the supreme court. T 1S RELATED with something of horror that Mr. Cleveland recently drank two glasses of beer. It is melan- choly, certainly; but perhaps he didn't have time to get the other. R. CLEVELAND wants to know what the Democratic party is in power for, if not to repeal the McKinley law. It is a great question, We have pondered over it long and loud. [TS PROPOSED to punish lynching in North Carolina by a fine of five thousand dollars. Lynching means murder, and it might be well to understand whether this fine is the penalty of one corpse. WHITCOMB RILEY accuses himself of bad grammar and a failure to marry. Take not these things to heart, James. Few are aware of bad grammar, and as to the other affliction we dare say the girl is to blame for it R. BLA being dead, there is but one newspaper jin the United States that doesn’t praise him. Is it necessary to mention that newspaper's name? Its ability is unquestioned, but its prejudices are remorseless and never change or end. THE LAST OF OUR MONARCHS. E QUEEN of the Sandwich islands is of ebony color, as was the king whom she succeeded, David Kalakaua, Ti ‘The spectacle of SUN-SPOTS, CHOLLY Licutnean~"*Aw, doctor, way—aw—to get the fweckles off my face?" > Doctor—" Have your father knock the spots out of you,” her authority over a population somewhat white was curious enough; but that of a monarchy of any kind so near to us, whatever its complexion, was even more off color. THE PITY OF IT. THE DIVORCE SUIT has the right of the line in all the daily news- papers, with all the parade of scandal that the term implies. The JUDGE does not blame the daily newspapers for this, because they do not make the news—they just print it; but what a miserable article of human nature is making itself conspicuous! THE PRIVILEGE OF OBSCURITY. N ORDINARY MAN can attend such funerals as he pleases, but certain authorities declare that a president-elect must select only such as they approve. The independence of the private citizen as to his griefs and enjoyments 1s that good thing which is alluded to in the decla- ration of independence. When a man gets to be a public servant he has lost exactly the thing our fathers fought and died for. OUR CANADIAN BROTHERS. A NEWSPAPER of Toronto says the question of the hour is whether Canada shall be an independent nation or a part of the United States, and it proposes independence. The distinction is perhaps one without a difference. Canada wouldn't be a nation five minutes without an intense desire to conquer this government by becoming a part of it, and within five years she would have every state at her chariot-wheels and occupying all the available space of the majestic vehicle. THE LATE PECK. PECK. ex-labor commissioner, was one of the great men frequently men- tioned as ahead of their time. In other words, Peck was too previous. It was sung of him on his departure, by every man who respects partisan honesty and good faith, © With rapture we rejoice To see the cuss removed.” There is honor among Democrats, we think; and honor must keep its place on the political escutcheon or all is lost. SOME WESTERN CIVILIZA- TION. A PRIEST of South Dakota has writ- ten cast for a cargo of Irish girls. On the other-hand, the more prominent residents of that state are men and women who want divorces and lawyers who want to turn some dishonest pen- nies by securing them. Probably the priest knows what he is about, but let us hope that the cargo of Irish girls will not apply for divorce-papers before they get their husbands. The local influence is bad, and there is such a thing as doing to-day what ought to be postponed until the resurrection. h, what is the best THE PATHFINDERS, THERE ARE MORE great men to-day than ever before, and we shall hear from them after they are dead. They are too near by to be noticed now. We touch elbows only with our own kind, and are amazed to see them grow away from us. The man most prominent to-day is Grover Cleveland, but he has merely to assist in the continuation of a government which the papa of his country made possible. The pathfinders live most conspicuously, and quite ordinary men can jog easily along after they have blazed the way. Let us frankly confess, however, that the greatest man of all will be the man who gives us safe transit through the silver business. GO SLOW—GO SLOW! HAT PRIVATE SPECULATION is involved in the situation in Hawaii perhaps Claus Spreckels might tell if he were inclined to be communicative, but we should find out all about it before uniting our politics with his interests. Let us, moreover, consider a few figures. The population of the Hawaiian islands is one hundred thousand, half of it composed of natiyes who are of no good to themselves or anybody else. Of the remainder twenty thousand are Japanese, thirteen thousand Chinese, three thousand white Europeans, and four thousand Americans. Do we want to re-open the Chinese question? Was the revolution a part of a political plan engineered to some extent by our representative in that country, whose paper, the Kennebec ournad, last November outlined the events which have just taken place? “Let us pause and reflect. comicbooks.com
