HE PEOPLE will have their way, and the congress that opposes it had bet- ter not have been born. eee O THE SILVER MEN—Bear in mind, gentlemen, that every cloud has a lining of that kind. ECRETARY GRESHAM apparently remarked to Josiah Quincy that he had better stand from under. AN EXCHANGE has the heading “One wife too many.” Now it occurs to us that one wife is just enough. HE PROPOSITION to stop free lunches is looked upon by Herr Most as the worst blow at liberty yet. BISMARCK ‘says he doesn’t want to be called a particularist, but we no- tice that he kisses only the pretty girls. MBE: HILL to the populists—* Gentle- men, let us live up to the golden Do unto me as I do unto Peffer.” WHAT JOHN A. DIX would suggest if he lived to-day —"If anybody hoists the red flag shoot him on the spo rule, Hunery Harry—* demand-certifi ENATOR STEWART was going to put a brake on legislation at Washington, but the machine must have slipped a cog. TIS EVIDENT that Senator Hill expects much from the silver men in 1896, and that they love him for the foolishness he tried to make. SOLILOQUY of leading actress—"I have no diamonds to lose, but Lean at least deny my reported marriage and my contemplated divorce.” HE NEWSPAPERS have stated that the president is a sufferer from cancerous jaw, from Bright's disease, and from rheumatic gout. They have certainly covered the entire ground. THE PROHIBITIONISTS of Towa are going it alone this year, and unless they patronize the back doors of the institutions they abhor there will be a great many cases of nervous prostration. HREE HURRICANES which began in the West Indies have done incalculable damage to this country. We know not what to suggest. but a few prayers and a little talk of annexation would not be out of place. A TIGHT MARKET. His HONOR—"* Ten dollars or ten days.” In de present strained condition of de money market, yer honor, 1 shall be obliged to tender you my of indebtedness, payable in sixty days.” THE ADMIRERS of Judge Gresham are urging him for the presi dency with much haste and persistence: We don’t know which party they look to for the nomination, but either will do for the judge, who isn’t particular about’a little matter like that. THE SCHEME DOESN’T WORK. T IS DREADFUL to read in the Rocky Mountain News, silver paper, that Hill is playing a bunco game and that his speech “disgusts both opposing political factions.” That's what gratitude usually amounts to in this world, yet the News must admit that Hill is forcible and consistent in one thing—to wit, his opposition to Cleveland. THE SPORT FITTED TO THE DRESS. VERY PRETTY women costumes have been invented for hunting and fishing; so we suppose women will go right to work to learn which end of the gun to put the powder in, and where to affix the angle-worm) It isa little odd that the costumes should precede the information; but we must remember that but for this wise provision no woman would either fish or hunt. THE CYCLONE ORATORS, N EXCHANGE proposes the suppression of Emma Goldman. Now it is speakers like this woman who are to be thanked for their frank- ness. They mean murder, and talk mur- der openly, In that way the workers and all good citizens get the information which is all that is necessary to avoidance of the class they lead. It is not to be denied that they ought to be jailed, but that is another question. THE CIVIL-MILITARY STAFF. SOME. PAPERS propose the abolish- ment of governors’ ‘staffs, because they are mere frippery and of no practical good. But the people like show of this kind and are willing to pay for it. It en- courages state pride and gratifies the eye, and there is a dignity and an impressive- ness in them which are proper and really indispensable. Then, too, it is the only means of getting a military title without having to drill or fight for it. AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE, A WOMAN'S LEAGUE recently in- cisted on the resignation of a mem- ber, and published the fact, giving as the reason a report that the member was co- respondent in a divorce case. The dis- sed lady denies’ all charges of wrong- doing, and if she is innocent there ought to be good grounds for a libel suit. In most cases it is usual to defer action of this kind until the guilt or innocence of the accused is ascertained ; but the reader must remember that this is a league of women and the injured party is a woman herself. PUNISH THAT MAN! UBLIC OPINION is against Judge Maynard. The bar association has condemned him, and there is a popular impression that, so far from being on the bench, he ought to be in the penitentiary. To steal a state is the highest of crimes, and to reward the crime instead of punish- ing it is such a travesty of justice that every voter ought to feel persona called upon to rebuke it. There is no politics in this, It is a question right and wrong. The nomination of this man is an insult to every voter. no matter what the character of his ballot. WHY NOT THE LAW? THE JUDGE ventures nothing as to what ought to be done with the black men of the south who outrage women, and has more or less sympathy with Mr. Walter M. Gates of New Iberia, Louisiana, who in- sists that they should be burned, hanged, and “shot full of holes.” A main question is whether innocent black men have not suffered in that way, and another main question is whether such exhibitions do not brutalize the parties who take part in them? Again, is the law a some- thing to be treated merely with contempt? comicbooks.com
