THE FLOWER OF SAFETY. THIS COUNTRY has had two presidents assassinated and has under- gone one civil war. Let us give thanks that it was wise enough to save itself from as great misfortune on the third of this November; and that, having discovered the enemies within its borders and got their dimen- sions, it will look out for them on all future electoral occasions. NOT A PERSONAL MATTER. THE PREMIER of Spain says, off-hand and easy, quietly flipping the ashes from his cigar, “The country is prepared to make all required sacrifices of men and money.” Possibly he includes his money aud his life, but there is a strofig probability that he won't let either of them get away from him. There is a vast and pleasing difference between dying one's self and having it done by substitute. THE RIGHT TO PREACH. [F THE CLERGY are to attack sin—and it is a popular idea that that is what they are here for—they cannot avoid attacks on that kind of politics which is obviously opposed to patriotism and honesty and all good living. Generally the lines are drawn so faintly that there are two good sides to every issue; and in those cases they had better pray without speci- fications and sing so small that they won't wake anybody up. are exceptions; and, after all, clergymen are citizens, not slaves. But there ALL A MAN a Turk or a Spaniard and he will hate him- self if he doesn’t kill you. AFTER THIS no new college 4 will be happy unless it starts off with a sesqui-centennial. GENERALLY, when a parent cuts off his child with a shil- ling, he is so contemptible and poor that he has to borrow the shilling. R. HILL releases his speech to eat his dinner of thanks, and inquires with much spirit and sur- prise, “Who put that padlock on my conversation?” F IT IS advisable to put skirts on lamp-chimneys and call them shades, why not put a few shirts on the stoves and registers and call for the fire-department ? eee WHen AN ACTRESS has had six husbands, that-is a sign that she is looking for another and the man and the hour are about, with her assistance, to embrace. cee THE IDEA PREVAILS on the part of innumerable humorous colored supplements that slang is wit and humor is idiocy in behalf of fools and children, Oh, no; that is not so. MOTE LADY LAWYER insisted on arguing her case after the judge had decided in her favor. ‘ Vanity of vanities—all is vanity,” saith the preacher. “ The more the talk the less the substance.” [JNDOUBTEDLY Mr. Cleveland gave thanks that his late Thanksgiv- ing proclamation was his last; but we do assure him that his party would be as glad about it as he is if there were any party of that kind. Russta has but one doctor in six thousand inhabitants, and her death- rate is higher than that of any other European country. The two statements are conflicting enough to be a paradox, but we can’t help it. DON DICKINSON, charged with bring a kid-gloved aristocrat, replied with the statement that he once worked on a tug for a dollar a Still, we suppose the person who makes the rebuke is right, his argument necessarily being that, having been born poor, Mr. Dickinson had no moral right to get rich and keep his hands warm, day. ERLY SOLICITUDE. Pat—" Norah, there’s a boycott on th’ railroad,” Norant (frantically)—" Hivins' our poor Jamesey !* A DANGEROUS MAN. T 1S A SIGNIFICANT FACT that John P, Altgeld looks very much like the late Charles Guiteau both as to his face and the forma- tion of his head. Doubtless Mr. Altgeld is an abler and a better * man than was his political prede- cessor; but his purposes are the same, though his methods are slow- er and have some regard for the law and his own safety. Let him have his way and give him power in a great strike or a great agitation of any kind and we shall have hard work to escape a revolution. A REMARKABLE CHAR- ACTER. MR: BRYAN commanded much respect for his vitality and his ability in behalf of a bad cause. We know of no man who could have said. so much for revolution and said it so well. He surprised his enemies and gratified his friends. He has magnetism, united to a fine face and a heroic figure. He will have not a thoroughly bad place in history because he is courageous and lovable. But only a weak man could argue for absolute absurdities in finance and government; and if we give him credit for honesty it must be done to the utter sacrifice of his ability as a statesman or a man of business. Of course, if he is dishonest he is a fakir, or a demagogue; and we all hate to say that because he seems to be a good fellow. THANKS FOR THE FLAG, THs YEAR at this time some millions of people are giving thanks for the flag. It stemed to be in danger a few days ago, for the experi- ment of self-government which it typifies was seriously threatened: and every heart east and north went out to it and blessed it. Doubtless that was the case to a smaller extent in the misguided sections; but there were times and places which witnessed insult to it, and in a few of them it was dragged through mud and trodden upon by cattle temporarily disguised as men. These periods of danger are not ended. They transpire as sur- prisingly as when the Democratic wigwam was stolen by fanatics at Chi- cago, and when it became known that the south would fight for slavery. But with every danger there is a new and a warmer love for the flag. It gives color to all the air, It thrills the common sense of the nation. It means life and safety. It will live against the envy and enmity of other nations and the foolishness of those among us who ignorantly and in the name of patriotism seek its destruction. Let us cover the whole ground of thanksgiving by giving thanks for the flag. comicbooks.co
