THE WARNINGS of the Christian powers to the sultan will finally pre- vail, because the Christians will all be dead. eee R. BRYAN considers himself as important as a woman's postscript and is trying to work himself up to that distinction. THe TELL of a Kentucky lynching that was quiet and orderly. The services must have been very gratifying to the corpse. eee EVERYTHING goes to the new ad- ministration except the dishonor of the old one. That is a trouble that clings to its authors like a twin. CHINA has arranged for four thirty- two-knot torpedo- boats. The speed is necessary to enable the fero- cious boats to run away from the en- emy. eae YPNOTISM is blamed for an un- fortunate marriage in Chautauqua county; and the curious part of it is that the man is the party who is guilty of it. THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER pro- poses a number of chapters on the ideal clergyman; and to begin with it insists—-for even the worm will turn— that there isn’t any. eee THE HUMANITY that leads so many of our young men to enlist for the cause of free Cuba is looking for another old John Brown whose soul is marching on. LONG PERIOD of uncertainty as to the tariff will set the business of this country back to the worst of the late depression. Why go back to that industrial cemetery? WELIAM MORRIS was a socialist, but he left the whole of a consid- erable fortune to his own family. poems, but business is business. see A DANCE on Christmas eve in Kentucky ended with a battle in which one hundred shots were fired and one man was killed. ‘The enthu- siasm in behalf of peace must have been unbounded. Theories are inspiration for F IT 1S TRUE that Mrs, Lease had a twelve-hundred-dollar mortgage on an eight-hundred-dollar house. the legal sale of the place, matter of finance, would do justice to Mr. Bryan himself. sa THE WOMAN who sued for divorce because her husband snored lost her case. We suppose the judge argued that, while there was suffi- cient cause for divorce, the man was innocent because he never did it when he was awake. AN ASSOCIATION of negroes who were slaves demands pensions from the government. They have a right to their back pay; but the trouble is that their old masters, who alone have the right to give it to them, repudiated their obligations many years ago.

ZERTUCHA didn’t betray Maceo there is a general belief that he will never cease to bewail the loss of his opportunity. He has cer- tainly done all he could to hurt the cause of Maceo while pretending to be its friend; and that is a betrayal, backed according to good testimony by bad lies, worthy of a traitor and an assassin. A PLEASING RESPONSIBILITY. MILLIONS of the subjects of the queen in India have starved. Russia has done something to alleviate the sufferings of these poor people, and England nothing. It is a fine thing to have authority over people so far away that little is known of them save as to their ability to pay taxes, It gratifies the pocket without disturbance to the soul, THE RICHEST WOMAN. LAWYERS, according to Hetty Green, are worse than anarchists, be- cause you can keep out of the way of anarchists. There is a hint here for the man with a bomb which is almost powerful enough to drive Russell Sage to the cyclone refuge below the ground-floor, And really the lady is ungrateful, for there are lawyers who have delivered her from great perils at the hands of—some other lawyers. INJUSTICE OF DIVORCE LAWS. THE DAKOTA, DIVORCE has been pronounced inoperative in this state; so that a number of men and women who got relief from matrimony in order to re-enter that state of existence are guilty of bigamy. That will hardly hurt their feelings, however, if the law will kindly let them alone. They have played with morality so long that a little extra notoriety will be as refreshing to them as a cool breeze in a long summer day. A THREATENED BOOK. VICTORIA is to superintend and dictate a considerable part of a history of her own reign, These are peaceful times, but if she controls the book it is likely to bring her rapidly to the reign’s end. The people of Eng- land have been patient with the pre- vious literature of the good lady; but she must take thought at this later period of both their vitality and her own health, Queens have lost their heads even without the provocation of a single volume. THE PERIL OF RIGHT AND HUMANITY. [7 WOULD Nor be surprising if certain foreign powers had notified this government that they would not be impassive in case of our intervention in behalf of Cuba. That, however, is a result always to expect, if it has not yet happened. If it is to stop us from any proper action, of a humane or other nature, we might as well give up all allegiance to the Monroe doctrine, Nobody wants to fight; but on the other hand nobody wants to run away from the responsibility pointed out to him by his own duty and self-respect. WHY LIE? TWO MEN are said to have said that this country is no country for gentlemen. One of them is the son of the late President Arthur, and the other is William Waldorf Astor; and their words are the more as- tounding because the country has done very much for them, at least through their predecessors, The only explanation is that the statement in each case is a lie; and a curious question is, whether the liars are most actuated by the meanest of envy or the most wanton of all malice. Why should young Mr. Arthur or the older Mr. Astor be a fool? THE NEW APOSTLES OF FREEDOM. R, CLEVELAND is a bulwark between Spain and the new abolition- ists of this country. The latter want to abolish slavery of the kind from which we suffered a hundred and twenty years ago, and of the kind which President Lincoln abolished by proclamation, These new abolition ists are enlisting in many sections of the country, but without the slight- est prospect of getting into the fight. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney object, and possibly properly under the circumstances; but the sentiment of the new abolitionists will in some way prevail. time. It is only a matter of comicbooks.com
