WE FEEL SURE that if Mr, Platt had been at the head of the Grecks things would have been very different. THE QUEEN gives her photograph, with her autograph on it, to Sara Bernhardt; so that Sara has a jubilee too. HE MUSKETRY FIRE that sounded to Stephen Crane like the tear- ing of cloth was attended at imervals with the Greek war-cry THE NEW GIRL. HE TYPEWRITER of Chicago who took seventy-five thousand dol- lars from ‘an old man will not live in history as will the typewriter who obliged the governor of New Jersey to call an extra session of his legislature. We beg to inform the gentleman who inquires “ What are we coming to?” that we have already got there. THE PITY OF IT. HE PROPER NAME of Greek extraction has been a scourge to mill ions. We class it with the existing war-map and the grip. It has slain its thousands through the ineffectiveness of the average jawbone. It has brought grief to all who have tried to read the newspapers aloud. It is well that that dreadful war has stopped, Better another war in Abys- sinia. HUMAN NATURE IN POLITICS. MB: PLATT has a hearty contempt for the non-partisan organizations that want to control the politics of this great town, There surely is something absurd in their claim to rulership, and we never yet saw a mug- wump who refused to share in the “spoils” which he condemned; but, after all, every man has a right to vote his own way and only a saint would refuse political benefits which belonged wholly to somebody who had actually earned them, ANOTHER REVOLT. THE PRESIDENT of Cornell college is threatened with destruction by the women of the annex known as Sage college. They say he is a monster and a wretch, and that © Let ‘er rip.” PLACE called Syracuse claims to be the fourth city in size in this state; and Tona- wanda is so wrought up that it wants to fight. eee F KING GEORGE should fall into the deep sympathy expressed for him by the sultan he would never be able to pull himself back to the surface of it. MBE: KIPLING refers to wo- man as “a rag, a bone, a hank of hair.” ‘These things are better than nothing; but this banting business must be stopped oe A PAPER in New Orleans says Grant was “an intel- lectually dull, commonplace man.” This is certainly no com- pliment to the confederacy which Grant whipped. RS, bud dose timonts vas nod.” [7 IS NATURAL that Mr. Wanamaker should ery out against the bosses; but wouldn't the new party which he prays for have to have a boss too? NSULTS to the ladies of the royal family of Greece are quite natural to men too cowardly to go to the front even for the purpose of running away from the enemy. THE LYNCHING of two colored girls in Alabama by a mob of white men seems to indicate a slight falling off in the chivalry of which every southern man used to boast. A DECISION making Sunday ball-playing legal comes from a Buffalo police-justice. This is rough on the clergy, because their duting?” won't allow them to attend any game on that day. : oe IF YOU WANT to be in the swim this summer at the sunimer re- sorts,” says a writer, “take your bicycle.” cle for swimming purposes Are we to infer that the has already been accomplished ? THE WARDEN of the Washington jail may well be oppressed with his responsibility in connection with such prisoners as Chapman; and besides it is difficult for him to tell whether he or his prisoner is running the establishment. A BUSINESS ARRANGEMENT, Isaacs (excitedly)—" Vake up, Repecca! dinks uf you gatch holt ohf a shpar you vas all righdt.” . ISAAcs—"* Vhere vas dot udder life-breserver ?* Isaacs—"* Id vas tied to dot sadtchel ohf timonts, Repecca. he wants to starve them to death and fill their places with young men, The trouble began with the ousting of the lady whom they preferred for principal; and we don’t believe any settlement. is possible which doesn’t rec- ognize every one of the two hundred insurgents as the very woman for the yawning va- cancy. A STRIKE FOR FREEDOM. A NEW ORGANIZATION in behalf of servant-girls pro- poses that they shall be advane- ed in social standing; that they shall not be blacklisted by their mistresses — which means, we suppose, that they shall not be criticised; that they shall have a weekly half-holiday, and that they shall have “freedom from bondage on the sabbath day.” The term quoted would seem to indicate that they believe they are slaves and are very much ashamed of it; so why not knock off their chains and give them their liberty altogether? Der st b vas going to bieces, bud I Your life vas insured, DRESS AND THE MAN. WRITER says with great confidence that no man with a tall hat and properly gloved will do a dishonorable act; he will live up to the dig- nity of that kind of dress, Take them as a class, the best-dressed men are professional gamblers; and we know of one professional burglar who dressed better than any other man in the northern city in which he lived, and whose ability for large burgling was at one time the talk of several continents. But let us add, in partial vindication of this writer's judgment, that when ladies were involved as victims in his transactions they were invariably astonished at his politeness. 3 MUNG. THE UNMIXABLE, A « COMPROMISE." between the gold and silver Democrats is proposed by John McLean of Cincinnati, speaking especially for Ohio, and in- cidentally for the whole country. All that is necessary, he says, is that platforms shall provide for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, and that candidates shall pledge themselves to the principle of free coinage of silver. It may occur to some that here is a remarkable distinc- tion without any considerable difference Another “compromise” is that the money question shall be the main issue and must not be ignored any- where, In other words, silver will take the hide and gold the tail, or gold will take the tail and silver the hide. comicbooks.com
