AN ITALIAN recently sold his wile for five hundred dollars, and yet they say that business is depressed. eee THE SICKNESS of Aubrey Beardsley was so clearly a case of retribution that one is amazed at his recovery. eee R. QUAY and Governor Morton both say they are going to stick; and we dare say they have selected the necessary mud. vee N ATTACK on the squirrel by an agricultural paper is so abusive that it may fairly be called matter of great squirrelity. ees F ALFRED AUSTIN is made a knight the verse-reading world will look upon it as_a worse thing than the crushings of all the Rand, eee ENERAL WEYLER now thinks he can’t put down the rebellion unless he can control the government of the United States. THE MAN who killed,the shah had pre- viously been pensioned by his majes- ty. It was another case of the goose of the golden egg. THE EXTENSION by Mr. Cleveland of the civil-service foolishness is cal- culated to relieve President McKinley of a great deal of unpleasant responsibility. eee GOVERNOR CLAUDE MATTHEWS of Indiana, who wants to be the Democratic “nominee for president, doesn’t pride himself on his knowledge of finance, anyhow. The Claudes are always intended for poets, Nothing could be more kind. eee THE CONCLUSION of the English newspapers that Uncle Paul of the Transvaal is anti-British and pro-German could be no more convine- ing if the South African company had been lifted out of the country with bayonet and gunpowder. eee THE DEMOCRATS in their national convention will have an oppor- tunity for a new departure, says the Richmond Dispatch. Let it be a departure like the one in 1860, which lasted nearly a quarter of a cent- ury, and all will be well One of a team of dancers in town this week while watching his partner doing a dance says in an aside to the aud Why, look at him! He's as light on his feet as new milk in the morning.""—Buffale Enguirer. THE Hon. Stephen Brodie is credited with the remark, “ He kin walk on. bubbles from de Battery to Harlem bridge an’ never bu'st a bub.” Oh, she wuz flighty an’ changeable, Useter hide her pocket-book in a different place ‘most every time; never seemed ter care how much trouble she made me.” HIS PROMPT CONCLUSION. WHEN MR. REED was casually asked if he wouldn't take the second place out of love for his party and his country, he is said to have remarked “Huh” with some explosiveness. This has been our opinion for some time, and we beg to congratulate the distinguished gentleman on the firmness and directness of his conclusion. AN ARTIST IN LITERATURE, ‘THE DEATH of H. C. Bunner is a great loss to current literature. He wrote copiously, and always well. His poems, his short stories, his essays and his novels were as complete as care, thought and the knack of invention and originality could make them. Many men and women and many homes will long have an admiring and affectionate remembrance of H. C. Bunner. THE MONEY QUESTION. N OBODY DOUBTS that McKinley is for the soundest of sound money. The business world knows it and every voter knows it. The attempt to create doubt on the question by his few Republican opponents is ma- licious and based on falsehood. The St. Louis convention will make the platform in that way, and he will stand on the platform. That would be refutation enough if any were needed. It is well to remember that. “SHE” AND ANOTHER. TWO THEOSOPHISTS were first married five thousand years ago. ‘They transmigrated a few times during the intervening period, and ; =i { occasionally married again; and the other %, / — « day they were reunited, the ceremony being t performed by the temporarily disembodied spirit of William Q. Judge, which wore a | dress sheet for the occasion. And yet Rider Haggard thinks he writes fiction ‘and tells the truth solely by accident. RIGHTS OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN. THRE WOMEN DELEGATES to the Methodist conference at Cleveland were allowed to keep their seats and vote, but with the understanding that that action must not be regarded as a precedent. The concession is very important. It was an , admission of the right for which they __ asked. It is unavoidably a precedent, and words to the opposite effect are of no ac- count. And as the conference didn’t per- ish of its generosity it is the happy begin- ning of the unavoidable end. MCKINLEY AND TRACY. ‘OULD THE CONVENTION at St. Louis find any better or stronger man for the second place on the ticket than Benjamin F. Tracy of this state? Personally and politically he would ‘be an ideal candidate. His record as secretary of the navy is that of a clear-headed ex- ecutive, strong and pure in both character and purpose; and his popularity is com- mensurate with his wide acquaintance- ship. Ohio and New York! Geograph- ically, as well as otherwise, that would be a splendid ticket. SLANDER OF THE FATHERS. WE ARE TOLD by the New York Zvening Sun that the habit of kneeling while popping the question had its origin in the natural and unavoidable weakness of the knee-joints of the man who did the busi- ness. Of all the iconoclasm of this period that is the meanest. It isa blow to poetry and the pretty foolishness of love which must be rebuked. It is falsehood. It is unutterable injustice to two-thirds of the romance of all the ages. Though, to be sure, he is a tough or a very stupid man who doesn’t knuckle and wobble a little on those tremendous occasions. THINK OF THE OLD BOYS. HE SOLDIERS who died for the union also gave us a holiday. It might be well to remember them during every thirtieth of May, and not entirely as a secondary consideration. It is natural and proper that the day should be given up to amusement to some extent, but they must not be forgotten, But for the work they did and the sacrifice they made there would have been little opportunity for recreation, for the his- tory of this country for thirty years back would have been largely made up of a succession of petty wars, and no man would have had a neighbor whom he didn’t want to whip. comicbooks.com
