IF EDWIN BOOTH understands the affection felt for him in this world he is certainly a very proud spirit in the next. cee T° THOMAS B. REED—Not that your party loves you less, Thomas, but just at this time Will- iam McKinley more. WE DO HOPE the people of this country will not go to war over the muddle of our great and good friends in Hawaii. FRANCIS WEEKS of Sing Sing is one of those gentlemen who never read the newspapers, don’t y* know. They hurt his feelings. JouN Y. MCKANE is a Meth- odist for revenue only, He was never converted but once, and that time he joined the Democratic party. SERIOUS TROUBLE inseparable from foot-ball-is that many of the players cannot tell their opponents’ heads from the unhappy pigskin. Tt knocked out the midway BWNY PAIN) \\ \ VER *kind of runner for the shark.” USSELL SAGE, has escaped the lovely Keegan, but can he say he is not responsible for the death of the beautiful cigar-girl or the letters of Junius? MUCH OF THE ARGUMENT for the annexation of Hawaii would apply to Brazil.» Why not go to Brazil, stop the fighting, and annex the country? ]F THE GRANDSON of Dom Pedro, who has been mentioned for emperor of Brazil, will call at Rio he will hear of something to his disadvantage. FARMER in Montana has set his chickens to picking gold and has already got several hundred dollars out of them; yet people say this is not a time for good crops. E LOOK UPON Mr. Harrison as the unconscious cause of the threatened restoration of Queen Lil. Because when a man hates as does Mr. Gresham, what are a few crowns and queens and things? THE SILVER MEN of Colorado are asked by the Denver News to swear that they will never support either of the tyo great parties again. Still, perhaps they will consent to wear their own noses, as the late Mr. Aaron did. OFF THE BAHAMAS. Caprain (of Ward-line steamer)—" That's a pilot-fish, madam, Hockuemmer (tho has overheard }—"* How vos drade, frent?” THE RESULT OF A PROTEST. R. CLEVELAND couldn't give Mr. Van Alen another appointment, so he conferred one on his brother-in-law, a Mr, Ferguson-Ferguson. ‘That much for the opinion of the cheap and vulgar public against the prevailing dude, and that much against the democracy which insists that it isn’t ashamed of its own country. A PRECEDENT. BRIGHT YOUNG ACTOR would be a fine addition to the Gould family, and the late Jay Gould set an excellent example by his accept- ance of the choice of his son George. There is so much worship of the aristocracy of money that it is necessary at times to suggest something in behalf of the aristocracy of general information. THE ARMY MACHINE. + 6QOLDIERS,” says the kaiser, “ you are to have but one will and that is my will, and but one law and that is my law.” Find here the difference between a regular army and an army of volunteers. A ruler who talks that way deserves the military machine, but when the machine takes thought for itself it will turn upon and rend him. THE CHIVALRY. BLACK MAN in a Kentucky town, accused of the usual villainy of his kind, could not be found; so the lynchers who were looking for him blew up his mother, wife and daughter with dynamite. Kentuckians, as they claim, are sensitive in be- half of the rights of the weaker sex; yet it is really curious that some parts of Kentucky are not struck by lightning. THE SILK CYLINDER. [8 THE OPINION of “Ruth Ramble” of the Troy Times the inventor of the silk hat was de- ranged, We think not. The in- ventor was doubtless a woman, and ‘she knew she wouldn't have to wear the thing herself. No man volun- tarily weats a silk hat. He does it because his wife or his sweetheart demands that proof of his affec- tion. If there were no women there wouldn't be a silk hat from Maine to the gulf of Mexico. MASTER AND MAN. THE OFFICERS of the Lehigh Valley would not consult with the representatives of their work- men, and hence a strike that might have been avoided. There are too many airs and feathers of authority, but the fact remains that the work- man is as good as the master and as much entitled to consultation and consideration. The right of petition is not dictation or impertinence. The leading railroad servants of the public had better understand that. * He's a BELATED INFORMATION. OLONEL INGERSOLL says he Goes not know whether there is a hereafter, and therefore he will not say there is or isn’t; but some day—he says it in a little burst of confidence, at the same time closing one eye—he may know and then he will speak positively. An exchange speaks of this as a concession; and the spectacle of the colonel bowing submissively and. magnanimously to the inevitable, whatever that may happen to be, is certainly suggestive, But we believe, after all, that he won't know until he has got so far out of this world that he will not be able to give it the slightest information. CHURCH AND STATE. HE MEMBERS of the American protective association are doing a good deal of quiet work, whatever they may have had to do with the late elections. They are anti-Catholics, and more bigoted and narrow- minded, if that is possible, than was the old know-nothing organization, ‘They hold that no Catholic should be elected or appointed to office, and in the case of a western official who belonged to their order and who vio- lated this provision they privately decreed that he should be denounced as if guilty of a great crime and that when he died his grave should be marked for desecration. That kind of politics cannot prevail here, and it is time to begin to work for its destruction. comicbooks.com
