Metro of new paper called Boston Common—" Keep off the grass.” PENNOYER thinks the first syllable of his name is mightier than the sword. AMENDMENT proposed by G. C.—" By and without the consent of the senate.” WE CANNOT consistently congratulate E, M. Field on the recovery of his so- called mind. N MOST CASES the long speech bears evidence of having been drawn out by Professor Garner. WE HAVE no doubt, for our part, that Mr. Croker is accumulating money with the purpose of paying the national debt. THE PROMISE of Mr. Keely that bis motor will mote this year is indubitable evidence that no such thing may be expected. OBENGULA has eighty queens. We hope no potentate will try to put them on the throne in case of evolution or revolu- tion. RY IRVING says this is the land where it is always afternoon.

HE LATE MAYBRICK ate arseni¢ every day—enough, as he once said, to kill any man not used to that kind of poison. But English law says Mrs. Maybrick killed him, and English law insists that it is always right whether it is sometimes wrong or not.” The infallibility of the law must some day become a part of the English prayer-book. MISFIT LEGAL AUTHORITY. HERE WAS NO QUESTION of jurisdiction in the case of the men whom John Y. McKane clubbed and locked up. The boss gave his orders and the outraging was prompt and vigorous. The law is gentle in its dealings with scoundrels who have no possible regard for rights other than their own, and there are times when the gentleness becomes a con- spiracy and a crime. WORK ENOUGH FOR ALL. THERE ARE NEEDED and contemplated public works in every city of this country, and there is money enough, idle and of no good to anybody, to pay for their immediate erection. Why should they be de- layed when so many persons need that money to keep them alive and save their self-respect? If there is no statesmanship in congress the wisdom of smaller public bodies ought to assert itself. THE CROKER MILLIONS, THE QUESTION,“ Where did Mr. Croker get his wealth?"is a difficult one to answer. Mr. Croker is no cheap book-keeper, and gives no thought to the de- tails of large financial transactions. If he has discovered a gold mine is it not his? And again how often one discovers unsuspected money in one’s overcoat pocket, undoubtedly dropped there inadvertently along with some of the gentle dews of heaven. TIRESOME IMPERTINENCE. A GOOD MANY smart things in the funny columns which are accredited to ladies ought to be attributed to ill-bred women. A gentleman asks a simple question, and the woman replies with assumed contempt for him, indirectly alluding to his years, the length of his visit, or his apparent stupidity, There are saucy girls who might say such things and thereby confess themselves silly; but ladies are not guilty of them, and the un- kindness spoils the wit if there is anything of that kind to spoil. THE ONE-MAN MOTOR, 'ONGRESS, according to Senator Cul- Jom, will do exactly what the president orders done. Let us hope, however, that there will be no foolish talk about a dictator. If some hundreds of men paid by the public to use their own brains submit to the orders of any one man, they are the persons to be retired in due season—not the dictator. There used to be Democratic talk about the evils of centraliza- tion. This focalization has got itself into mighty small compass, and yet there is no new Democratic outburst of alarm. MARRIAGE AND THE INDIANS. OME SHOSHONE CHIEFS on one of the reservations have been notified by authority that they must give up their wives except one in cach case, and they say they'll die first. The question as to what will become of the discarded women has not agitated the government; but doubtless that will settle itself, as, like the leading actress of the period, they will simply have to work less for the support of their fractions of a husband. Our sympathy lies rather with the chiefs, as they will doubtless have to do something to support themselves. FOUR GOVERNORS. KANSAS IS OVERRUN with tramps as a result of Governor Lewel- ling’s published suggestion that the state ought to provide for its beggars, Chicago has more anarchists than belong to her because her governor is in sympathy with anarchy. Governor Waite of Colorado gave the cue for the long silver folly in congress; and Governor Pennoyer of Oregon would like to rob the president of his salary to give succor to the poor of his state. We have no need of new states, for the last is inevitably worse than any of the others. Close the doors against the territories now asking for admission, ART, comicbooks.com
