[F JAMESON had whipped the Boers the English government would have given him the rights of a belligerent and subsequently adopted him and his triumph. This would have been a proper following of his undoubted understanding with Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary. But the Boers are fighters, and the kaiser is their prophet. TOO INFERNALLY VIGOROUS. OEY CHAMBERLAIN, like the late Major Bagstock, is sly, devilish sly. He said he should inaugurate a vigorous colonial policy; and he has made it so vigorous in Venezuela, South Africa and Alaska that Great Britain hasn't a friend at her back, and even France and Germany are willing to forgive each other long enough to give her the whipping she needs. THE OTHER COUSINS. IF THE ENMITY that is felt for England by all the rest of the world were to take practical shape she would give up the colony business even to the tight little island which she more especially inhabits, There isn’t a gun in the hands of any other government that isn’t loaded with the purpose, if necessary, of shooting her arrogance and rapac- ity out of her. THE EAGLE AND THE BEAR. But FOR RUSSIA England and some other powers would have recognized the southern con- federacy. And but for Russia and her connection with English int ests in India, in Turkey and in Chi- nese waters it would be easy for us to have a fight with England in handy power to have on our side; and long life to the czar and the little Olga.

That has been the fate of every laureate. But possession of the honor establishes the poet's repu- tation in time, and the critical ex- goes right on while Lord Salis- bury is giving his attention to the jungles. Rapacity reigns and justice and humanity are dead. MB: MORTON is too old and too feeble, but let us be fair, Mr. Platt would be a member of his cabinet and would so assist him that really he wouldn't have much to do. [8 THIS TOWN children are not allowed to dance to the music of a hand-organ; but we must remember that there is the same prohibition with regard to the organ of the sacred edifice. F THE KENTUCKY, the new battle-ship, appears off Caracas she will open negotiations with the English commander at that point with the inquiry “ What'll you have?” meaning peace or powder? IF WANAMAKER secured mutual concessions that brought peace to car-owners and car-strikers he is an angel regardless of the little mat- ter of wings, and ought to be on every peace comm jon in the universe. WE CALL the attention of Salisbury to the fact that John Smith of Smithville has found gold in his back yard. It doesn’t follow, however, that the British army is going to play on Mr. Smith's private territory. amination that follows his work discloses merit not previously suspected. We beg to congratulate Alfred Austin, He was not a bad poet. Now he is a great poet whether he is a poet or not, MORTON'S “FRIENDS.” SS MORTON is ten years too old,” says the Buffalo Express; adding that the politicians who have induced him to become a candidate for the presidential nomination are insincere, unpatriotic and inhumane. That is true; and it is likewise true that there are younger men who are abler and who have rights which he ought not to be willing to ignore. If the governor will reflect he will cry out to be saved from his friends—or rather the politicians who call themselves by that word. THAT LIVELY PRUSSIAN. THE KAISER is impulsive, and that characteristic is fatal to the delib- eration, delay, and dignity of old-fashioned statesmanship. His quick indorsement of the victory of the Boers over the English filibusters was due to the rashness of youth, and no other ruler would have written it. But his silence would have meant it just the same, and his impulsiveness brought matters to a head where delay might have meant immediate war between the English and the Dutch, and presently a greater war with Germany, perhaps even France, in it. Commend us to this frank, impet- uous youth, He must act quickly to keep abreast of the English govern ment and the English filibusters, : i comicbooks.com
