[F THE READER will reflect he will find that the JUDGE'S pre-election predictions were fulfilled with a single exception, We did miss. in the matter of a town clerk in Columbia county, . S is always interesting; and the frankness with which s to a number of little humiliations is very charming, Most persons have had those experiences, but they do not talk of them. DITOR of the Brooklyn Eagle was asked, with regard to the death of Smith, “Did he seem prepared?* ‘yQh, yes,” Teplied. the editor briskly. “Smith ‘s all right, Nothing the matter-with him—noth- ing, perhaps, but over-confidence.” [F MANAGERS can prohibit the right to hiss why shall they not pro- hibit the privilege of censure in the newspapers? The one is only a step further than the other.’ Of course the right to hiss is as fixed as the right to applaud.

A SUGGESTION TO LADIES WHO DO NOT WISH To BE ANNOYED. THE ART OF BOODLING. IT 1S TRUE, as alleged, that Mrs. Lease boodles, we hope it may at if least be said of her that she does it with neatness and dispatch “There are male bunglers enough in this line of political art, and a woman ought to be able to elevate the profession no matter how sadly she fractures ber conscience and coarsens her refinement. POOR MAN! ‘© BE THE CZAR is to be jin continual fear of assassination. The best czar that ever lived might not hope to be exempt from that agony. Death by violence and by slow or quick poison is out of the mind of his majesty only when he sleeps. Do not pass the Russian crown this way. The knowledge of safety is better than all the crowns together. THE INDUSTRIOUS BIGOT. APAISM may now be condemned without suspicion of partisan motives. The Indians ought to have begun it against Mr. Columbus, a pro- nounced Catholic, and the puritans, They failed to exercise that privilege, and every citizen since their period has as little right to cry out against a decent religion and decent peoples as the snake had to bite the farmer who thawed him out, WOMAN AND WORK. ‘THE SUGGESTION is made that if women who work were to get the same pay as men the latter would get most of the work because they are stronger and generally more valuable. There are exceptional cases, but that is the rule; and again if women were paid liberally there would be less matrimony and domestic happiness. Perhaps fair play must not travel too rapidly; and it is consoling for the sex to reflect that where one woman made her own living twenty years ago a thousand women do it now. CIVIL-SERVICE IMPERTINENCE. THE JUDGE presents its compliments to the Minnesota federal office-holder who resigned his place rather than obey a civil service order to refrain from active politics. Office-holding is not crime. It need not necessarily take away a man’s birthright, or disfranchise him, or give him the disgrace attending a period in state-prison. An office- bolder may think his own thoughts, present his own arguments, and vote his own vote. The civil-service commission cannot make a fool of any man who respects himself. GO BACK TO SIMPLER WAYS. SFHE TANGLE OF THE TICKETS in the recent political. unpleasantness. un- doubtedly drove some men to suicide and others fo the insane-asylum. There has come to be too much politics. The number and ar- rangement of the tickets, the methods of vot- ing.and the red tape in genetal of a very sim- ple thing, are confusing and unsatisfactory ; and there is no more honest voting now than there was under the old systent. One doesn’t like to contemplate the casting of a ballot as he would the sawing of a cord of wood. A PRECEDENT? ‘A NEGRO tiventy-one years old, named ‘Sam Johnston, according to a dispatch: in the Atlanta Constitution, sold himself the other day, at Selma, Alabama, to Colonel Starke Oliver for sixty dollars. The colonel tied ‘him by a plow-line to one of the columns of the Southern hotel, and presently led:him home, and the negroes who looked on “did not kick in the least.” It may be said, we think, that Sam is comparatively safe, it never having been a southern habit to lynch slaves; and perhaps here is a way provided for solving the negro problem over again. THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS, E SHOULD THINK Commodore Gerry would like to be re- lieved of some of his authority. It must be irksome. As the only man in the world who can imprison other persons’ children without trial or suggestion from the courts, keeping them as long as he pleases and releasing them at his royal pleasure, he must feel that his action at times unavoidably works the rankest injustice. For a man of thoroughly good intentions he is responsible for a great deal of undeserved suffering ; and, after all, decent and well-meaning parents have ts as well as he, comicbooks.com
