COXEY SAID bis movement was spreading like small-pox. It did have that appearance, in addition to a large amount of filth and vermin beyond computation. JOHN JACOB ASTOR was so frightened when his book went to the public that he reached up to grab a comet; but he had to compromise with an ordinary steamer for Europe. THE LOCUST of the seventeen-year variety, which is now due, can make as much noise as a Democratic congress, but there is not as much misery in his monotonous remarks. T SEEMS necessary to remind the women who are opposing suffrage for their sex that they needn't vote if they don't want to; and as for the women who will vote if they get the privilege. perhaps they know what they are about and do not propose to let the ballot ruin them. CAN AFFORD IT. From a photograph of a native of the state of New York who swears that he will not cut his hair until the women's-suffrage bill is passed. THREE MEN. HE FIRST GUN for Harrison, fired by young Mr. New, went off too soon. The elder New hastened to renvark that it held only a little powder and a blank cartridge, but it made considerable noise for all that. Probably Harrison will run if he can; but there is a prevailing opinion that William McKinley and Thomas B. Reed ought to have a few of the rights which he has monopolized for a considerable period, THE MELANCHOLY SARAH. $+QUIDA” says, in contradicting some things held by Sarah Grand, that there really are some good men in the world and she believes in them and likes them, Now that so many women are shrieking against the sex, this is both surprising and encouraging; but, after all, Madame Grand was originally intended for a spinster, and if she hadn't mar- ried her judgment would have taught her far wiser things than have come from her experience, WHY ARE MEN HAPPY? A MAN worth fifty millions of dollars says he was far happier when he hadnt a dollar than he is now. Thus we find that the individual who doesn't know when he is well off belongs to no particular class; and if this man were to lose his fortune to the last dollar he would doubtless be so much more unhappy that he would take his last and only life. Per- haps the only: perfectly happy man is the one who is dead; and he is happy, if we know anything about it, because he is hushed to silence and cannot argue the question with himself. CONSTRUCTIVE MURDER. A WORTHLESS WAR-VESSEL would mean unnecessary slaughter in case of war. It might mean defeat and dishonor to the flag. Think of the dastardly meanness of cheating the government in such @ way as that. ‘There was a gun-contractor early in the late civil war who was sent out of the cabinet for furnishing cheap guns. It was popular opinion that he deserved to be hanged, but he stood too high for the pun- ishment belonging to a mere deserter. W! ought justice to do with the men responsible for those porous-plaster armor-plates ? ROBBERS AND VOTERS. THE WOMEN TAX-PAYERS of New- burg. New York, recently voted along with’ the men, and succeeded in defeating an extravagant appropriation for a new city hall In ninety-nine out of a hundred cases new public: buildings cost many times the cost of private buildings of the same size. Contract ors with governments think it a right to rob, and to give poor material in return. Vide the armor-plate scandal, and that tremendous and long-continued robbery of the state in behalf of the “new” capitol at Albany. The case at Newburg is worth thinking of in connection with the question of extended suffrage. THE WOMEN WILL VOTE. SOCIETY WOMAN having taken up the suffrage business, the women will win. Within five years the women of this state will be given the ballot, and probably the women of the other states as well; and ten years hence the country will ask itself with intense surprise why the reformation was so long delayed. It is not a question of right—the right is admitted—but of propriety; and certainly the ballot-box will be elevated by it, since there can be ne change that will not necessarily run in that direction. But the society woman must not get the glory. That belongs to several now venerable ladies who have been struggling for the ballot for forty years. 'H A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. MB: SCHULTZE of New Jersey was fined fifty dollars and costs for killing an anarchist who said the flag was a dirty rag. There is no good anarchist but a dead anarchist, but some decent man’s life may be endangered some day as a result of this light punishment of murder. Years ago it was said and sung by abolitionists, who are much respected at this time, that the flag was a flaunting lie and the union a league with hell, It was not true then, any more than it is now; but there is a dignity in human life that it is the first duty of a flag and its supporters to respect. Otherwise the flag becomes an emblem of tyranny and an enemy of free speech and of the law which is the common safety. comicbooks.com
