HE CAUSE of free silver was frightfully coerced. WHEN HENRY GEORGE predicts it it isn’t going to be so. ONE SPLENDID THING about Platt’s senatorship is that it isn’t Morton's, THE MAN who will not be in McKinley's cabinet will appear some day—we are convinced of that, THERE MUST be vessels for the protection of our war-vessels, They have’a bad habit of getting drowned. THE HUM of business proclaims fat pocket-books and a merry Christmas, and the Santa Claus of this period is William McKinley. OROSIS is in doubt whether our physical is keeping pace with our mental growth. We have had this question on our mind so long that it has worn us to a shadow. A FINE COMBINATION of parrot and money must have produced a profusion of oratory, not long since, the bird having flown away with a ten-dollar bill in its beak. ONE WOMAN of a music-hall gets fifty-five hundred dollars a week. Possibly she has a voice; but it is really essential that she shall kick and shall be clothed in a plain gold ring. H BUSIN MAN of Cleveland who, in order to avoid legal trouble over his will, filed that document while in good health, didn’t cheat the lawyers any; for, mark you! that was a sure sign of insanit CUBAN PRISONERS led through Spanish cities are, it is said, stoned by the multitude. The statement would seem to indicate that some of those prisoners are allowed to live, and that is simply incredible. WHY SHOULD the Brooklyn Zagée want James K, Jones to pray? Mr. Jones will not be convinced until he hears from a few back counties that his prayers may be directed to any particular address. A PREACHER in New Jersey awoke to find a burglar in his room. He said to the burglar that he was a preacher, and the fellow ran away with great haste. He seemed to think the preacher was going to shoot a sermon at him. AN INEXCUSABLE BREACH. Keiy—" How kem yez so?” Keity—"* Oi wint t’ shlape lasht noight at a wake.” WHY DOESN’T GOD KILL THE DEVIL? THE HORRORS of Cuba and the Philippines at the hands of their Spanish masters exceed anything outside of the jurisdiction of the sultan, They are barbarism in torture and all manner of slow murder. What shall the world do to be saved from its responsibility in these con- nections ? WE AND THE COUSINS. HE SETTLEMENT of the Venezuela business is not so much a vic- tory for this country as for humanity and common sense. It means peace, and therefore it means the saving of money and human life. War is barbarism, and statesmen who seek war or provoke war thus proclaim that they are the wrong men in the wrong places. A SOLEMN FACT. HIS GOVERNMENT must have revenue enough to pay its current expenses and provide for its debts. If that fact causes tariff agita- tion, it will at least be better agitation than that which follows more bonds or bankruptcy, And there have been congresses that knew enough to do what was necessary, do it without delay, and stop right there. SOME ETIQUETTE. OVERNOR-ELECT BLACK is told by the New York 7imes that to wear a white-lawn tie with a cutaway coat and striped trousers is a frightful solecism, the tie belonging to evening dress exclusively. Let us add a little important information for the members of the governor's staff. They must carry their epaulets at a right-shoulder shift, and wear their brass buttons so that when tired they can sit on them. NOT COMING, BUT ARRIVED. THE WOMEN of this country will have more to do with its politics, year by year. That is ap- parent from the interest they had and the work they did in the late campaign. In a, few states they voted. In the others they read and lectured and worked. Alll the ten- dencies point to the fact that very many of them want to vote; and their right to vote is undisputed by thinking men. The only thing in question is the matter of propriety, and that is inevitably settled, sooner or later, by the fact of justice. BACTERIA AND RECI- PROCITY. HE BOARD OF HEALTH of the state of Indiana has forbid- den-kissing except in cases where the parties prepare for the same by the use of disinfectants to prevent the transmission of bacteria. This is a kind of prohibition that encour ages most that which it seeks to prevent. Let that law prevail and the jails of Indiana will be crowded, while the fines will be large enough in the aggregate to pay the national debt. Then again, this is a free country, and people have a right to swap bacteria if they so choose. THE PERSISTENT LUNATICS. HE FREE-SILVER BUSI S will be continued by Mr. Bryan and others until it is time for the next national nominations, will it? It will be called bimetallism, but it will be the same misfortune. We imag- ine that the several orators, or lecturers, will fail of their contemplated audiences; but they will accomplish much by obliging those sound-money Democrats who went into the Republican party temporarily to remain there as long as they live. As between populism and common sense there is but one rational choice. WOMEN AND DRESS. THs TOWN has a woman's rainy-day club. The costume of the . members is something like a coachman’s coat with a belt around the middle of it, and ending considerably above the ankles, It is very sensible apparel, and it is curious that the club thinks it is acting heroically by adopting it. Since the bloomer and the knee-breeches came in women may wear anything without attracting unusual attention; though, to be sure, it is not exactly certain that that would be deemed by them a recom- mendation of the thing worn. comicbooks.com ,
