Ovr FLAG, in view of the new American line, is not only there but elsewhere. eae M®: MORTON, the new secretary of Iture, is too intelligent a man to run to seeds. agri R. A. MCLEOD reached out for the world and got just enough of it to burn his fingers. KAULANI talks pathetically of her people, but fails to produce the quit- claim deed showing her legal possession of that property. THE YOUTH who speaks of Saint Pat- rick asthe gentleman who couldn't tell a lie is truthful enough, but he talks like a chronic historian. A CONTEMPORARY says Kansas is the clown of the American circus, It would seem so, and yet Kansas is a little too dangerous to be amusing. QUE COMPLIMENTS to the mem- ory of Saint Patrick, and may his followers dance to the harmony of the harp and never break a string. finances of Governor McKinley, doubtless meant well, but he is as guilty of wrong-doing as the man who robs a bank. WE HAVE NO disposition to question the record of the late Mr. Patrick, but there are more snakes in the Irish grass than in any other bog- or meadow-land in the world. -T US NOT be unreasonable with regard to the crinoline. Let us merely insist that it shall be so reasonably small that it will not be necessary to get out a search-warrant to find the girl. eee WE CANNOT annex Ireland any more than we have, but with home tule there it might be well to have an Irish-American flag for both countries, they adopting our stars and we taking in their harp. cee . sWiEL GRESHAM," asks the New York Commercial Advertiser, “have the nerve to ask for the resignations of Robert Lincoln and Fred Grant?” We suspect that Robert Lincoln will have the nerve to tender his resignation without waiting to be asked for A GREAT DANGER. PROMINENT MEN are out of danger so far as the cabinet is con- cerned; but there are numerous large and small offices yet to be filled, and as to them no Republican or political freak is safe. Let it be known that a man has belonged to all the parties and is in doubt as to AKT NOTE, Mr. Mundoresky Kaulbach has an exquisite bit of still-life Rose RT WALKER, who wrecked the _ on his easel at the Holbean studios. where he is at at this moment, and if Cleveland doesn’t put him in his museum it will be because that great receptacle of curiosities is fully occupied. GOD RULES. HE COAL COMBINATION was villainy, and in its period of power it defied law as well as justice and fair play. We have observed that that kind of hog business soon or late brings its authors to poverty, and at times it has sent them to the penitentiary. A man who cornered wheat in Chicago some years ago is now little better than a pauper, and the Reading railroad brought suffering to many a poor family this winter. It is a world of compensation, and the whirligig brings all things even. THE HIGHER CRITICISM. MEMBER of Mr. Harrison's cabinet sent a bible through a pneu- matic tube, and straightway the editor of the Evening Post rose in his stirrups and wanted to know how long the American people would submit to such outrages as that. There was only one thing in the Har- rison administration that this gentleman would have indorsed, to wit, that is to say, its suicide because of his disapproving mentorship. It preferred, however, a natural death, unnatural, under the circumstances, as that may seem. PLANT TREES. STERLING MORTON is right. The planting and cultivation of trees should be deemed as necessary as the raising of corn and wheat. Because it has not been done there should be laws making it impera- tive. It means comfort, safety from drouth, the success of the farmer, and value of property. It takes a slouch to be indifferent to such things—the kind of rural slouch who remains to be con- vinced of the commercial value of good roads, and thinks his straw hat and over- alls good enough for a wedding or a funeral. BOUNTY-JUMPERS. THE BOUNTY-JUMPER of the late war was the man who enlisted for money and then, having deserted, enlisted for money and deserted again. Judge Gresham is no bounty-jumper. He is honest, but a little peculiar. The Repub- lican party rewarded him for his services, and the populists offered to reward him for bis aid and comfort to them as far as they could; but the successful Democ- racy give him the bounty the others can- not afford, and he will stay with them, though he cannot vote with them, about four years. KING PAT. SAINT PATRICK, were he alive, would be proud of the people who celebrate him. They are the sharpest, the quickest, the wittiest, the most combative, the most fickle, and the most loving. They have faith, pluck, endurance, and that fondness for the variety of life which makes them enjoy equally a wedding, a fight, or a funeral. There is no opportunity which escapes their eager fingers, and their ambition to rise gratifies itself if the body of friend or foe makes the necessary stepping-stone. We trust those of them who remain in Ireland will get home rule, in which case God help them! but in case of extreme mis- fortune the survivors can come here and join in the great and profitable work of ruling us. WHY SPREAD? E HAVE A NAVY for fun and as a measure of prudence. If it were necessary and unavoidable to have a great navy, that would eventually lead to a great standing army and to very much heavier taxes than we pay now, to say nothing of the military service to be expected of every family with boys in it, as in Germany. While we are floating the flag with frantic patriotism over Hawaii, Cuba, Canada, San Domingo, the Gilbert islands and other foreign ground, it might be well to think of this. We have a fair amount of territory, not half occupied; yet we are fright- ened at the tremendous inpouring of foreigners from all parts of the world and are taking means to regulate it and put an end to a large part of it. We are doing well enough while we take care of our own and attend to our own business, and we have complications enough without adopting those of other powers. comicbooks.com
