THE NEW SENATOR from Pennsylvania is the Penrose that all are praising. cee THE WOMAN who wants to be chaplain of the Kansas senate needs to be told that scolding is not prayer. eee HE NEW SENATOR from Illinois owes his success to the fact that he was far from the Madden crowd. eee ATOR LODGE couldn't be further away from cabinet men- tion if he were a Lodge in some vast GREAT THOUGHT IN KANSAS. MEMBER of the Kansas legislature proposes a law making it a crime for a woman to ride a bicycle. He thinks, for his part, that if such a law isn’t passed the human race in his state will be extinguished; and we think that if it is the legistative part of it will be wiped off the earth. FRANCE FOR PEACE. OME FACTS regarding the Panama canal have a certain influence against the alleged desire of France to have an arbitration treaty with this country. It is stated that Germany is to put into use new field-guns of marvelous efficiency. It might be more profitable for France to look for arbitration in that direction. AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE, NE COOPER, a South Carolina black man, who had killed men and was in quest of his brother to serve him in the same way, was recently lynched. We must defend this lynching, because if it hadn't occurred there wouldn't have been a judge or a jury in the Cooper baili- wick to adjudge the case—the man would have killed them all. SENATOR AND PREMIER. JOHN SHERMAN has acquired a habit of turning upon and rending his own sympathy and Americanism. He cooled with regard to Vene- zuela, and again with respect to Cuba, after having been red-hot in behalf of both. But never mind. It is one thing to represent Ohio and another to speak as the man next to the head of the general government. THAT PRETTY LITTLE FRAUD. wilderness. ENERAL HAWLEY supports the arbitration treaty as the dying man forgave his enemies. * If I recover this thing ‘s off,” said the latter huskily. MAN named James Gallagher, who has just gone to Black- well’s island for the thirtieth time, must be the identical person who was long since directed to let ‘er go. ssGHooT THE STAFFS!" says the Troy Press, alluding to the gold-lace attachments of the various governors. Why shoot them? They are doing as well as they can, Ti E EDITOR of the Chicage fournal wants war. He says it would stimulate art, poetry, mu- sic and manufactures. War kills many men. It is doubtful if it stim- ulates them any. cee M*- BARRIE makes out that his mother was a strong-minded but a narrow and ridiculous person. She was Scotch, however, and that covers all the deficiencies. o. J guilty or not guilty?” THE KING of Italy really started the arbitration business. When the king of Abyssinia annihilated his army in that country he looked troubled and suddenly exclaimed, “Say! can’t this thing be arbitrated somehow ?* THE WRITERS of New York are mentioned by Governor Leedy of Kansas as dogs who bark at the pyramids. What nonsense! With a single exception there isn’t a pyramid within reach of their eyes or their lamentations, LAPY TINA SCOTT ought to congratulate herself on her imprison- ment for eight months, because now she can assure herself that she is necessarily out of mischief and she and her acquaintances will have a long-needed rest. WE THINK we can see, looking ahead to the day of judgment, two persons rushing around a corner and calling out vehemently, " Stop the proceedings! Don't you know that we still want to be elected?” They are M. Zola, who wants to be an immortal, and Mr. Ingalls, who is still reaching out for the Kansas senatorship. BUSINESS. ck—"' You are charged with assault and battery. How do you plead— PRISONER (excitedly)—"* Vich is der sheapest, huh?” OVERNOR BLACK laments the starch in the civil-service law, and proposes, as used to be said of heroic remedies, to take the starch out of it; and several leading Re- publican papers speak approvingly of his method of injecting common sense into the miserable foolishness. And the rapidity with which our new district-attorney changed his depu- ties shows that there is as little re- spect for it in his department of the public service. JONES AND “DEMO- CRATS.” SENATOR JONES says the Democrats in the next congress will give the Republican majority full swing. That is real kindnes: both to the majority and the peopl but has any sound-money Democrat given this gentleman authority to speak for more than his three or four free-silver idiots? If not, will 2 somebody of that kind put up a few squeaks in self-defense? Jones must not do all the talking for “ Democrats,” though his ability to make a loud and continuous noise is unquestioned. IS THE LAW THE KING? A LITTLE PERJURY by policemen in this town, before a magistrate about as gifted in looks and law as a monkey, has sent two virtuous women to the penitentiary. The horror of their disgrace, and the possi- bility of other cases of that kind, ought to suggest the justice of a law permitting women to vote. Otherwise they must in self-defense assume. the right to use the horsewhip. Think of the power of a vicious police man, in conjunction with that of a fool on the bench, against women for whom one or both of them may have conceived malice or dislike. MR. DEPEW FOR ENGLAND. THE JUDGE congratulates President-elect McKinley on his selection of Mr. Sherman for secretary of state, though it thinks Mr. Depew would have been as good a man in that place. And the selection is the more gratifying because it leaves Mr. Depew free for the position of am- bassador to England, Assurediy no better man could be found for that high honor. He is a king of diplomacy, of oratory, and of any social gathering, local or international; and he is a profound student of politics, history and law. Cordial, graceful, handsome, a man of large knowledge and equally endowed with good sense, the president-elect might search the country through without finding a’ man so completely adapted to the re- quirements of that position. comicbooks.com
