SO FAR from wanting a third term, we dare say Mr. Cleveland would like to get rid of those he has had. MB: PLATT didn't force the gold plank on the platform, but we have no doubt he is the author of the first chapter of Genesis, THE KAISER will study the money question ; so that, after all, the ques- tion may be satisfactorily settled without a revolution, MAPAME ZOLA has read not one of her husband's works. Let us con- gratulate M.

THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT has accepted the dedication of a book just from the press. We can’t imagine a work more important than this. It ought to be in every family. eee I" IS DIFFICULT to see why a statue to Li Hung Chang should have been put up in Berlin, unless it was to testify to his great fame as a humiliating failure.

It is well to boast beforehand, for after 1900 it may be im- possible. We have no doubt that New York could beat Chicago, but no other place has the power—or the right. HENRY WAT SON speaks contemptuously of shoddy Americans who go to “urope in a mad craze for social recognition. Henry has been so generally recognized himself that it would seem he has destroyed no essential part of any opportunity; but then there isn’t any craze about him y OUR GRAVE NATIONAL QUESTION. Lazy WitHeks (reading a morsel on the silver guestion)\—"* If dey leaves gold de standard I t'ink I'll continer bizness ez hereter- fore ; but if it's ter be silver I'm undercided as ter de future.” THE LAW AND THE CITIZEN. ¢s(QET OUT OF HERE!" exclaimed a judge to a talesman who had remarked that he didn’t believe in the jury system as administered in this city, “1 don’t know what to do with such a man. I would punish him if I could.” They are talking of having liberty of conscience in Rus- sia, and really we ought to have something of chat kind here. THE UGLY MAJORITY. [7 1S FUNNY to recall the impertinence of that convention in refusing to act precisely as T. C. Platt ordered. Mr. Platt was so shocked and indignant that he bellowed and wept, and “had a fit on the highway.” A nearly parallel case was that of the eleven jurymen who held out against Andrew Johnson. “The most stupid and obstinate set of men I ever saw in my life!" said Andrew with great heat. ACROSS THE BORDER. GOLDWIN SMITH refuses a degree offered him by Toronto university because of a threat to boycott that institution if it is accepted, the trouble being that Mr. Smith favors the absorption of Canada by the United States. There is a good deal of that kind of childishness in Canada, and Wwe must insist that the absorption be postponed until the people guilty of it shall have hated us and themselves to death. WAR? REPRESENTATIVE of one of the governments shook the hand of the czarina instead of kissing it, and we are told that for a day the event was the sole topic of conversation in the home and foreign society at Mos- cow, It must not be inferred that the society in question was less than usually intelligent, but that topics were scarce; and really such events in such circles may lead eventually to a change of the geog- raphy of Europe. RIGHTS OF THE SPOILED WOMAN. A MARRIED WOMAN eloped, leav- ing several children as well as a hus- band. Later she married the man with whom she went off; and then she claimed the right to spend a day each week with her children at her first husband's home. One judge decided that the second mar- riage restored the woman's virtue and granted the claim, but an appeal leaves the matter in doubt. Let us now consider the possible restoration of the impure egg. AMERICANISM. HE ST. LOUIS TICKET proclaims honesty in finance, stands for the doc- trine of James Monroe, and extends sym- pathy and promises help to the men in Cuba who are fighting for their independ- ence as we fought for ours more than a hundred years ago. Thus honesty, principle. patriotism and brotherly kindness are represented in the platform and the men; and are there two better American faces than those of McKinley and his charming wife? INSULT ADDED TO INJURY. HE VERDICT against Mr. Fairbank for sixteen thousand dollars, in addition to the fifty thousand dollars he had already spent in behalf of Mrs. Leslie Carter, shows the extreme cost of being an angel with a large heart, no matter how rich the angel may be. It is easy to laugh at the suffering angel, but the justice of the award is no laughing matter. And think of the abuse the prosecution heaped on the poor angel's head, as if he had been trying to cheat the parties of the first part out of their just dues. OBJECTIONABLE DECENCY. WRITER for one of the magazines says that out west a’ well-dressed man with superfine manners invariably creates the suspicion among the natives that he is an evil person with base designs. That is an insult to the majority of western people; though it is true that a clean shirt and respectable grammar are an affront to some western localities. That, however, is a weakness in a good many secluded eastern places, which look upon quiet dress and quiet conversation as evidence of a dude, and which are never favorable to a person who doesn’t drink whisky and chew tobacco. All sections have their little eccentricities, and on the whole pro- priety is as offensive here as it is anywhere else. comicbooks.com ;
