MB: PLATT is trying to cut down the Republican cherry-tree. He is do- ing it with his little Hackett. LET US Go to headquarters. Will Mrs. Dimmick kindly say whether her Benny wants the nomination ? eee E RECALL the late George Wash- ington as a better man than either Saint Patrick or Saint Valentine. [7 WOULDN'T be a bad idea for some of the young men who are deriding Alfred Austin’s poetry to read a little of it. S+LJAS MORTON selected his cabinet yet?” asks the Rochester Herald. TOO MUCH HASTE. N EXCHANGE asks if Senator Davis has lost his head. If he has he is going to get along better than when he had it with him. It isa first- rate plan not to claim too much in time of peace. In case of trouble all that Senator Davis claims would come as a natural result. POLITICS OF THE SEPULCHRE. PAIN MUST be pretty badly off to warrant a resurrection of the poli- tics of Don Carlos. It is like the rattling of dry bones and a gross disturbance of the dust of ages. One would sooner expect a resumption of the later Isabella, not to mention the more ancient Ferdinand. THE INTERNATIONAL PROPRIETIES. HE IMPROPRIETY of our congress protesting against the murders in Armenia has furnished material for some caustic and amusing editorials; and on the whole humanity and civilization are such impro- prieties, themselves, as to be a constant surprise. Though, to be sure, it has become a reasonable question whether they have an actual exist- ence, RUSSIA’S RESPONSIBILITY. WE MAY at least hope that Russia has entered into no agreement with Turkey to protect the latter in the continued butchery of Christians. The cowardice of England is bad enough. The call of Russia to keep hands off while the butchery pro- ceeds would be as great crime as that of the sultan himself. And meanwhile the murdering goes on. A MATTER OF SAFETY. THE COLONIAL DAMES withdraw their assumption that Benjamin Frank- lin was no gentleman, That is wise, for if the dames inquire too closely into the domestic affairs of the leading gentlemen of the colonial period they may have to pull down the very platform they occupy. Let us remember that in those days men were not as sweet and pure as they are now. THE RIGHTS OF A FILI- BUSTER. Only his secretary of the treasury, we think. CHINA SAYS she will make her own guns and powder hereafter. Indeed, the entire population has begun to run away in apprehension of the first produc- tion. N EXCHANGE calls upon the Cana- dians to concede that George Wash- ington built Nia That is too absurd, He merely laid the foundations of the cataract. Barney S ek league pitchin’ talent.” © SOCIETY of women has yet inquired as to the gentlemanly quali- ties of George Washington, though George was rejected by at least one young lady and finally had to marry a mere widow. WILLIAM WATSON says the sultan is crowned with hell's aureoles beyond all mortals damned, ‘The evidence justifies the conclusion, though the Christian powers have powerful claims to that sulphuric halo. FARMER near Ellenville, in this state, was recently attacked by an army of hungry crows, and barely escaped with his life. Therefore the question is not whether the Democracy shall eat crow, but exactly otherwise. A LINCOLN HOLIDAY February twelfth and a Washington holiday the twenty-second of the same month. As we have said, there must be more holidays. Five or six days in the year are days enough for the dignity and things of labor. **MAN IS BORN good or evil,” says a clergyman, “and his character is hke blank paper, upon which he can write what he pleas Well now, if the man proposes to make himself well off he must necessa- rily make the record before the birth. A JUSTIFIABLE DEDUCTION. ORMS (the villain and victim of ever hurled poultry derelict, to himself)—" Dere’s one © in dis averlanch, an’ dat is dat I'll have sense enuff nex’ season ter skip de town dat * winter-quarters’ de bull uy de national (Wild exit.) T DOES seem curious that Doctor Jim should escape punishment. He was a filibuster whom no government dared to own, and he caused the death of a good many men, Strictly judged, he would be guilty of murder. He differed from the ordinary assassin only in the fact that he killed more men, And yet he escapes, and yet Joseph Chamberlain says he acted wholly without authority ! SAME OLD FIGHT. HE DOCTRINE of James Monroe was fought for by George Washing- ton, and later by Andrew Jackson. It hadn't evolved to its present proportions in the days of those men, but the principle was there. We have been fighting for it, on paper and in fact, all these years, and England has been and will remain its bitterest enemy. While we love the cousins, a family fight is fiercer than others, and they must keep away from here. unerringly- serlashun A RIGHTEOUS KICK. HE WOMAN'S BIBLE is the old bible with rather light-waisted criti- cism of what appear to its authors to be the old bible’s mistakes and conclusions. It is not historical, or heavy. or scientific; but, if frivolous, it seeks to be just. Looking at it from a woman's standpoint difficult to sympathize With it as a protest entirely proper to the woman of to-day. That woman has rights, and if she submitted to the bible idea of the proper kind of woman she would be a slave. THE G, W. TRUTH, WHILE WASHINGTON couldn't lie, we hold it agamnst him that he never denied the story of the cherry-tree. This may have been equivocating, and the question now before the house is whether that kind of white lie is to be permitted a leading citizen. It is a significant fact that nobody ever claimed to have the little hatchet; and we never knew of a hatchet that was buried that wasn't subsequently dug up. If T.C. Platt hasn't that hatchet in his possession we firmly believe it never occurred.
