[T LOOKS as if Seth Low of greater New York might also be high and jack of the game, WE TRUST Mr. Tesla is as confident of the soundness of his head as he is of that of his theories, ce THE CZAR has been heard to remark that it is the house with two daughters in it that is only half blessed. . LAWYERS break more laws than any other class; and they are not only not punished for it, but get their living by it. eee SENATOR MILLS, who speaks of American heiresses as fatted heifers, had better put a dress-suit on. his conversation. eee IF IT IS TRUE, as alleged, that Uncle Paul of the Transvaal prays two hours every morning his mouth ought to have a cyclometer attached to it. MADRID PAPER weeps to think that this government will interfere in Cuba “ with perfidy,” and that the perfidy will be a bitter pill for Spain. Can such things be? eee BAILEY of Texas is out for Bry- an and Hill of New York is out against him. The two Demo- cratic parties are going to come to- gether, apparently, by going in op- posite directions. eee Missouri auctions off her pau- pers, and it looks to many like a species of slavery. Maine has done the same thing for years, but we dare say her paupers are worse than the other kind. SOROSIS inquires anxiously in one of her weekly debates, “Is mind living up to body?" If the fat lady of the museum is remotely alluded to let us hope not. [8 THE EYES of some trusts opposition is a crime which must be pun- ished by poverty, and even pauperism. They capture the opponent, and are not satisfied till they take off his hide. R. CLEVELAND wiped his face with a bandana on a warm day recently, and Henry Watterson immediately whooped and called at- tention to the act as indubitable proof that he wanted a third term. a MBS. HOWELLS says he is afflicted with the bad habit of early rising. That is so rare a trouble that we always suspect the truthfulness of “ the man who confesses to it. And it seems like an effort to boast under cover of a rapidly-manufactured modesty. eee +s BE CONSERVATIVE,” was the closing advice of the president of Vassar college to his girl graduates; and when he had concluded they applauded him hard enough to raise the roof, some of them mounting their desks and shrieking at least three minutes, A DIRTY IRISH TRICK. Hoan (as the goat charges for the third time)—"* If Oi hov loife lift Oi'll Kill th’ shpalpeen thot pasted th” bock.beer soign an me back.” THE GREATEST OF ALL. THE SULTAN is not so sick when not one of the powers dares to do him the slightest injury. Circumstances have made him the most powerful as well as the most cruel of all the monarchs. He is their ruler; they are not his rulers. BLOOD AGAINST TRADE. PREMIER CANOVAS says, in reply to a proposition to sell Cuba, “Spain is not a nation of merchants, capable of selling its honor.” It is a queer kind of honor that prefers butchery to bargain; and the assumed contempt for trade of the premier is evidence that the poor old nation is so far in the past that it has lost the right to make slaves of people of to-day. CONFESSION OF COWARDICE. 46] ET US CONFINE ourselves to local issues in our municipal elec- tions,” says every Democratic newspaper, speaking for harmony and consequent victory. This will leave the money question for the na- tional disturbance, and meanwhile it is calculated that spoils galore will be captured. It is a fine plan, but we believe the ass in the lion’s skin was as easily recognized as if he had worn merely his own, PRAY, BUT GIVE. THERE IS A SOCIETY of silent worship in Washington, and it wants all the people of the United States to give up half an hour every evening to silent prayer for the liberty of Cuba, The praying is to begin at nine o'clock, and certainly no- body can claim on the next day that he was inadvertently absent from the services. Perhaps, more- ‘over, a contribution to the Cuban fund would add efficacy to the sup- plication. POLITICAL DRESS REFORM. THomas WATSON wants Mr. Bryan and all other populists to take off their Democratic gar- ments and appear in their popu- listic underwear, and to declare themselves opposed to all manner of fusion. Mr. Bailey of Texas will observe that there are others who are opposed to dress-coats, and likewise to all manner of clothing, the average populist having nothing between heaven and his buff but the three principal outer garments and sometimes a pair of boots. UNCLE SAM AND CUBA. E FOUGHT seven years for our freedom against the rule of Great Britain. The Cubans have fought more than twice that length of time and have suffered more. The fourth of July is a good day to discuss the Cubans and the duty of Uncle Sam in behalf of humanity. France helped us. Why should not the United States help Cuba? Jus- tice, the Monroe doctrine and Christianity demand that Spain shall stop her robbery and butchery of a people whose liberty has been fairly won, DESTRUCTION AS A TRADE. THE LAUNDRYMAN makes money by ruining the goods intrusted to him by his customers. Is there any other kind of business that pre- sents this curious fact; and is it not a fact without a single exception? Let a tailor or a shoemaker do his work with the destructiveness of a laundryman and he would impoverish himself and in time go down at the hands of a mob; yet the laundryman merely destroys—that is his whole trade—and lives and sometimes gets rich. Is it not time to kill a few laundrymen? BAD BUSINESS. [7 1San astounding fact that lynchings, horrible as they are, do not lessen the number of the particular outrage for which they may seem to be the proper punishment. The black man has the courage of his brutality if he is guilty in all cases; but it is reasonable to believe that in many cases he is innocent. For the sake of justice he should be proved guilty before he is killed; and again the law-breaking of lynchers engenders a spirit of law-breaking among otherwise good citizens which is becoming very dan- gerous. But the law’s delays in cases of high crime must be stopped. comicbooks.com
