HE FIVE-MINUTE RULE prevailed at a recent Sorosis discussion, and every speaker sat down with suppressed anger and the remark in a firm voice, “To be continued MB&: GORMAN may be partially right in his declaration that editors are vipers. The editor of the Conyressional Record prints his speeches, the mean thing! just as they are written. CLERGYMAN says that if there is no hell he is willing to subscribe toa fund for the purpose of building one. Such generosity by way of help and instruction to the Almighty is quite rare. HE DUKE OF ORLEANS is correct in his assumption that his life and his blood belong to France. If he had got into Versailles during the recent upheaval France would have taken both of them. THINK OF THE INCOMPETENCY of a law-making power that, surrounded by immeasurable wealth, can provide no means against its imperiled bankruptey. Months have been wasted by it in talk and ex- periment. and the peril is more imminent day by day. ‘The cat that starved to death between two kinds of food was that kind of financier. Yer'll remember it some day an’ be sorry fer it. “* Wot's come over youse anyhow ?” “1 wuz tinkin’ uv how often 1 cussed de heat las’ A CRYING EVIL. WHILE ONE ASTOR was going to her grave other Astors were giving rival entertainments, The explanation of the latter is that there are so many funerals in the family that if each were properly attended to there would be no time left for society matters. This is a busy world, and we have long noticed that there are too many funerals in it. PURITANISM, WE TRUST the craze for Sunday laws in certain cities will not go se far as to close the churches, At present nothing else remains open with the sole exception of the mouth of the protesting citizen, and there is ‘a proposition to close that. It really isn’t heresy to say that, atter all, the citizen has rights which law-makers are bound to respect; and there is such a thing as being governed too infernally much, AN ANARCHIST BRIGHT IN SPOTS. OVERNOR ALTGELD proposes that the age and character of a criminal shall have something to do with his sentence to punish- ment, the iron-clad sentence for certain offenses being given some elas ticity. That is good sense from a bad authority; as is the proposition to “strike a mean in office-holding between the retention of incompetents and the distribution of spoils.” This governor shines brightest as he takes his flight. THE RULE OF THE CONTRARIES. A FARM-HAND in Oklahoma whipped his rival in thirty-two rounds, and the girl for whom the fighting was done nursed the de- feated man back to health and will presently marry him. That is a woman's idea of propriety and jus- tice. It says, with the mugwump, that to the defeated belong the spoils. The cripple is the favorite. Let women vote and with every Republican victory the ranks of the Democracy will have the sympa- thetic aid and comfort of every wo- man voter. THE PURSE AS A DIC- TATOR. HE STORY that the Japanese have bought their victories. of the Chinese, giving half a million for Yalu and a hundred thousand for Port Arthur, is improbable; but if it were true there might be wis- dom in making it a precedent. Money is not as valuable as life, and a debt through a commercial transaction is better than any kind of funeral. Certain scientists con- template a destructive that will sweep entire armies out of existence. Nothing could show more conclusively the folly and wickedness of war, and the longest purse may have the right of arbitration in behalf of civil- ization. FAIR PLAY FOR MEN, R. GERRY ought to think further about his bill to bring wife-beaters to the whipping-post. The woman of this period knows very well how to take care of herself, Her dress indicates it and her independence proves it. All the burglars are afraid of her, and the frequency of her use of the horsewhip on men, offensive and innocent alike, is annoying and alarming. If the bill is to become a law it must first be provided, in be- half of fair play, that she shall be punished for flogging her husband, and that the minor punishment of the ducking-stool for scolding women shall be revived. OUR UPPER HOUSE. [¥_ URGING the election of United States senators by the people our David is perhaps providing for contingencies. He sees that the New York legislature will be Republican for a long period and he has no hope of a re-election by that body. Therefore he will appeal directly to the honest yeomanry. To be sure, this is exceedingly dangerous, judging by certain figures picked from the chaos of last November, but of two dan- gers the least is the best; and meanwhile he may escape annihilation by cutting for the woods or reaching up for the presidency until his toes can’t touch the ground. comicbooks.com
