P.S.—That is his next and his last business too. ADE HAMPTON, who lost a leg during the war, is graciously per- mitted to pull the leg of the government by way of retaliation, T IS A CRIME in North Carolina, punishable by assassination, for a white woman to educate negro children. ‘The new south has suddenly grown gray- headed. T IS NOT known that Cleveland ever refused an office, and there are statis- tics to show that he searched for several with avidity and clutched them with a bold, firm hand. THE PENALTY of being a relative of the president is that you get no office. The assumption must be that you are not fit for office, for of course it is no crime to be a relative of the president.

We don’t remember his name, but it will doubtless be found on his tomb- stone. LAW is talked of making it a punishable offense for a newspaper to claim a larger circulation than it really has. Such a law would stop a great deal of unpardonable swindling, and we are sure there is not one of our billion subscribers who will not indorse it. HIS FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE BIRD. Step om the neck of the Mi Gitenax-—" Shakin’ sods! that grane crow l t 1S SHAMEFUL, in the view of the Evening Post, that a man about to be sentenced to death should have the privilege of declaring his innocence. To be sure. As the judicial pirate remarked calmly of one who cried out against walking the plank, “ Very well. Shut off his wind and slit his throat.” THE CRIMINALITY OF DOUBT. N THE VIEW of Recorder Smyth a reasonable doubt is a gross out- rage on judicial dignity. The law having decided that a man is guilty of murder it is heresy to question whether the man is guilty even if it is known that he is innocent. The law has more admiration for itself than consideration for human life. WHICH IS THE CRISIS? R. CLEVELAND said to Judge Gresham, “The country needs you in this crisis.” Some newspapers affect to be in ignorance of the nature of the crisis, and can’t see why, if there was one, the judge wasn’t called to the treasury; but the changes in the senate and the white-house convince us that the word was the right one in the right place, and that we shall all be convinced of it without any great delay. And yet to the unobserving eye the union is quite safe. A GROWING DANGER. ‘THEY HAVE in Saginaw, Michigan, a woman, called Jennie-the- * hugger, who catches unprotected men in lonely places at night and hugs and kisses them half to death. She has done this a number of times, and her victims have been frightened and rendered unfit for work. This is a logical follow- ing of the assumption of men’s habits and costumes and rights, and it has be- come dangerous. . There ought to be a national enactment providing for the safe- ty of the too-confiding and unsuspicious man. A CHOICE OF ALARMS. THE CHARGE that Terence Powderly, backed by the Roman church, is try- ing to destroy this government is reason- able enough. We recall the case of the man who sawed off the limb on which he was seated, and likewise that of the man who. bit off his own nose. You never can tell what some men will do until you find out, and there has never been an investi- gation of the charge that Terence is a souvenir idiot. But there's Totten. He wants {o destroy the earth. _Let us drop Terence and investigate Totty. OUR UNCROWNED KING. 4s BALD HEADS must be covered,” says Mrs. Jenness Miller. “They are horrid, unsightly and inartistic.”” We certainly know that the advice is taken by every woman. Did anybody ever see a bald-headed woman? If a woman have plenty of hair she adds to it,.and if she have’no hair she wears a wealth of it shorn from other heads? Man, however} is not naturally deceptive. He is loth to assume-a disguise the laying aside of which at the hour of prayer shows him to’have been a fraud through- out the garish day. Doubtless Mrs. Miller-is more or less right in her suggestion, but the bald-headed man is the:soul of sincerity-and will go unadorned until he puts on his crown of glory. $3 shwallyd a THE DIVINITY OF THE BENCH, ‘FHE PRESS is obsequious in its support of the law, ‘The’ wig and gown have won from it-a servility never given to the 6688 and crown, A decision by one man that takes aife brings it to its knees itrunquestion- ing adoration. It is perhaps true'that this one man does not come of an immaculate conception, and that he is as human as some other men; but as the representative of the law he is seated on a great white throne, and the press sings to him as if he were king at the universal judgment. To the average mind he is unfair, unjust, prejudiced, exceedingly narrow, and subject to all the frailties of ordinary flesh; but the press says he is the law and therefore it must bow down and worship him. Doubtless we must respect the law in behalf of justice and our own safety; but when respect becomes such adoration as to prohibit opinion there is a sacrifice of self-respect that is unprofitable and base. It is worse to have too much law than too much priest. comicbooks.com
