REECE STANDS PAT,” says the Syracuse Courter. To be sure. And so, for that matter, does Ireland. eee VERY GOOD press censorship is provided by the law of libel, but the power of public opinion has even more efficacy. THE STORY that the sultan will try to buy a few of our war-vessels is absurd, Isn't the miserable wretch bad enough off now? A FRIENDS of Mr. Depew are all remarking with peculiar satis- faction that the post of honor is the private station. eee ‘THE PRESIDENT has the cour- age of his respect for Ohio, and his friends there have the courage of theirs for themselves. r \ eee THE BRAVEST are the tender- est; but the weeping of all the parties to the Nevada unpleasant- ness couldn't have been more copi- ous if they had all been spanked and sent to bed. M®- BRYAN, according to a re- porter, was, applauded during a recent lecture “only when his 3 voice reached a high pitch.” It is the old story. You cannot touch pitch without being defiled. A GENTLE HINT. Famer Hayrick—" Look hyar, 'Zekiel ; I don’t want tew be meddlesum, but yew hev bin courtin’ my darter fer nigh on tew two years. Naow kerryseen WHY DISCRIMINATE? TIS URGED in behalf of a bill obliging the railroads to carry state officers, legislators, judges and justices and their clerks free that in many instances they cannot charge their expenses to the state and there- fore the railroads must give them transportation. Why the railroads especially? Why shall not hotels give them board and lodging for nothing? Possibly the bill has merits, but there is no logic in that kind of robbery. HILL. PERHAPS SENATOR HILL gets out of public life to some extent for the purpose of making money. That was the result of Senator Conkling’s retirement, though he, like his successor, regretted the necessity of his disappearance. Had he lived his law-practice would have made him a millionaire. Senator Hill during the next four years will get rich—and then? Let nobody look upon him as out of politics forever or for a long period, That is not the kind of man he is. MEN AS MATTER OF VALUE. ITHIN A MONTH in this city two wives were awarded fifty thou- sand dollars each for alienation of their husbands’ affections by two other women. We have long thought that the value of men as husbands has been too little appreciated. While these precedents are a warning to husbands to have only one wife at a time, there arises a just and generous pride on the part of the universal man that he is not the insigniticant creat- ure the new woman apparently thinks he is. A GREATER DANGER. SEVERAL NEW WOMEN want the president to send them as representatives abroad. Let us contemplate this progression, If women are to be office-seekers the president and the governors will have twice the number of applicants for places, and we believe they will all die. It is twice as hard to refuse a favor to a woman, and on the whole it is hkely that men will flee from the higher appointive places as from the wrath to come. THE SOUTH AFRICAN FILIBUSTER, CECIL RHODES differs from the English government lead- ersin the fact that, he tells openly the things they merely whisper and solemnly contemplate. He is an undiplomatic truth-teller, and they are cunning prevaricators, And if his raid had been successful he THE GIRLS of the Chicago uni- versity have demanded the abo- an’ coal costs money, an’ Mary ain't. much good fer housework w’en she’s bin up all nite; besides. | need a hand tew help with th’ wood-cuttin’ pow’ful bad. Jes’ think over it, an’ ef yew see enny way out uv th’ difficulty don’t be afeard tew menshun it tew me,” would have been a great man re- gardless of the deprecatory gestures largely intended to cover congratu- lition of pickles from their bills-of- fare. This is surely progression; but we do not hear that they have aban- doned the habit of chewing slate-pencils. AT THE END of a fight at a pleasant little social entertainment in Mexico ten men were found dead and fifteen severely wounded. These were the regular festivities, “and nothing occurred to mar the har- mony of the o¢casion.”” MB: SCOVEL, Cuban war correspondent, is rebuked by the Boston Herald for having got himself in one of Weyler’s prisons with the purpose of disturbing the peace between two friendly nations, We believe Dr. Ruiz did the same thing; but, poor fellow! he's dead. BROTHER HESING of Chicago improves on Brother Pingree's prop- osition to use public grounds for the poor by planting potatoes in them. He wants to plant beans, and we have the word of Boston that there is more culture in that article of diet—not to say more agriculture. [t 1S FUNNY to read that Uncle Paul of the Transvaal wants to make war on England; though we believe the wolf of the fable declared that the lamb he presently devoured was that reckless and bloodthirsty. Let us recall, moreover, the case of the man who was found with a bleeding and dying sheep at his feet. Yes," he said frankly; “I did kill the fero- cious beast, and 11 kill any lamb that tries to bite me. latory winks and smiles, But, real- ly, the next raid and the consequent success ought to come before the conclusion of the trial of that majestic freebooter. THOSE BRAWNY GUSHERS. ‘THE EMOTIONS that follow prize-fights are numerous and radical. When Fitz had retired to his private quarters after the battle he wept. His trainers came in and they wept. holding pillows to their eyes to absorb the tears. Mrs. Fitz wept, and said, “I am sorry mother wasn't here to see it.” At the mention of his mother-in-law Fitz wept like a baby, and said between sobs that he “hoped if there was any hereafter she would see it there.” Mr. Billy Brady likewise wept, and so did Corbett; which was proper enough in their cases, for it was their funeral, A MAMMOTH CAVE, THE WOMEN who lead in opera bouffe live forever and are without hearts. When they get too old to sing and fascinate they try to ele- vate literature by writing books. Here is this old British blonde whom some indignant veterans are vigorously calling Emily Sardine, adding all sorts of epithets by way of a further explanation, She accepted their money and their wine, only to tell about it thirty years after. It was charged that her mouth was so large that it took two men to kiss her properly; and we have proof in her revelations to the grandchildren of the veterans that it is as lasting as it is long. What! shall it stretch out to the crack of doom? . comicbooks.com
