F THERE were no women angels in heaven most men would like to live forever. THE VERY DAY after the Dingley bill became a law we got news of the great gold discovery in Alaska. F IT IS TRUE, as the Chicago 7zmes- Herald intimates, that Mr. Bryan is quiescent, somebody must have chloroformed him, T IS SIGNIFICANT that when the czar and the kaiserembraced neither made - the slightest attempt to bite the other, 7 M*: MOODY says that, after all, New York is not as bad a place as Babylon was; and we have heard for years that Baby- lon was excessively fallen. [™ COSTS one dollar an oath to swear in Bridgeton, New Jersey. Therefore only the rich can afford the luxury and the poor feel as if the law had crushed them. JOHN SHERMAN says there is no telling what some newspaper men will do. Certainly not. Would they give up the informa- tion in preference to en- gineering a scoop? see THE CREEK INDIANS of Oklahoma refuse to give the ballot to their wives; but it must be remembered that they are only following the example of the Presbyterian church. with, THE CALAMITY HOWLERS advertise themselves as without hope except in a period of business depression. Do they think they can win through that kind of pessimism ? CHINESE PIRATES lying in wait for gold-laden vessels from Alaska is an amusing bit of fiction. If the pirates were to meet such a vessel all the gold in it wouldn't hire them to keep from running away. [TIS CLAIMED that recently a devil was cast out at a camp-mecting at Old Orchard. Was it wise? Where now is that devil? Ifa devil can’t be killed it is better to regulate him by confining him to one-person. THE TROCHA of Gomer is so closely drawn about Havana that the nish army fear to go out for their daily exercise and are in conse- quence losing their precious health, ‘The old general and his men are the most annoying of all whipped communities. HE NEBRASKA MAN wha, jilted by his sweetheart, sues to recover his gift to her of a jeweled garter, ought to have the article. If we were in his place we should go right up to her and take it off her arm, peaceably if possible, but with force if necessary. JUST THE PERSON HE WAS YEARNING FOR. Tuk MAN oF Gop—" This is a cold country, my friend, yet Satan is here with his wiles. Beware of him; beware of him!" KLONDIKE MINER—"" Great punkin nuggits! he’s jest th'feller I'd like ter go inter pardnership He could furnish th’ heat ter thaw out th’ gravel an’ I'd do th’ diggin’, IS 1T CHAGRIN? [t IS SAD to read in the London Fie/d that young Ten Eyck of the diamond sculls ought not to be permitted to row with gentlemen be- cause he works for a living. The time has come when a person of ordi- nary wisdom ought to be ashamed to say such a thing as that. CRIME AGAINST CRIME, HE POLICE of this city are expected to tempt women and to be their “companions ‘in vice for the purpose of betraying them to the law. Thus the law propagates vice for the sweet privilege of punishing it. Is there any kind of informer and sneak worse than policemen who submit to such dishonor and humiliation? DUTY. CCANovaAS thought jt his duty to torture hundreds of men in order to make them confess to crimes of which they were innocent, and the torture consisted in part of tearing out their nails and breaking their bones. The assassin of Canovas is equally honest in his declaration that he has done his duty in the revenge he has taken. Duty is a much abused word, and conscience is both dangerous and merciless. : HE MERELY SNEEZES. ss}]IS LATEST SNORT "is the heading placed by the Evening Post over an article copied from the Sun in which Mr, Dana says he is still editor of the Sun, and that he never yet turned his back on either a friend or a foe. The word is not appropriate. The article is a fact put in poetic shape; and we are sure the author of it never snorted in his life, the nearest approach to that kind of agitation being a few inadvertent sneezes. A DESPERATE REMEDY. MILLIONAIRE wants to sell his prop- erty for ten per cent. of its value in order to es- cape his heavy taxes. Doubtless he would be happier and save himself great worry-and wrath if the bargain were to be consummated ; but would he not use the money thus acquired for the accumu- lation of his old figures of wealth? It is human nature, and neither taxes nor anything else can ever change it. THE CRIME OF BRITISH LAW. THE STUBBORN- NESS of the British home secretary who alone has the power to pardon Mrs. Maybrick is the real British article. Public opinion and the opinion of leading jurists of England and this country against him have no effect upon his granite heart, any more than has the horrible injustice which the poor woman is suffering. The law has pronounced against her, and British law is right whether it is right or not. What is the illegal cruelty to this woman in comparison with its pompous dignity? LARGE MOSQUITO LIES. A MOSQUITO recently bit a child to death, Another bit a young lady's leg’ so badly that the member had to be amputated. Another wounded an ‘undertaker on his way to a cemetery, so that the funeral in his case had to be postponed three days. Still another punctured the jugular of a man ina barber's chair, so that the man bled to death before the barber could get at him. We feel sure that the mosquito is no larger or more deadly than heretofore, but the stories about him have reached a most enormous size, THE COLOR LINE. six WHITE MEN have resigned from the office of the collector of internal revenue at Atlanta, Georgia, rather than serve under a negro collector; and in the same town the white women of a factory have struck with success against the employment of black men and women. This is hardly to be wondered at in a southern locality; and at the same time it makes a farce of the proposition that all men are born free and equal, with aright to life and the pursuit of happiness. But the right to be lynched still sticks to the brother of the objectionable skin, comicbooks.com
