Has he no regard for the peace of several nations? ee REAT BRITAIN sends word to India that she can have all the starvation she wants, but insurrection will be sternly prohibited. eee ‘THE SHEEPSKIN won by the negro girl recently graduated from Vas- sar is evidence enough that her intellect has the proper complexion. HE BOMB-THROWER is a low, mean fellow. We don't believe he would throw a bomb at the sultan if he thought he could hit him. IF ENGLAND will kindly loan us a few of her dry-docks for our large war-vessels, we do assure her that she can have a fight in twenty minutes. eee THE ANARCHISTS who are leav- ing Europe for this country will throw no bombs. Alll they want is the privilege of talking the country to death. : se THE DENIAL of the story that thir- ty-five years ago Tecumseh Sher- man wanted to hang Whitelaw Reid has relieved a great deal of public ap- prehension. IF IT HAD been planned that Faure and the kaiser should go together to give their love to Nicholas, we feel sure that Faure would have carried his own bomb. coe THE CONSTITUTION of the na- tion, according to a populist judge, is itself unconstitutional. Apparently this man wants to be an anarchist and shoot somebody. Jackson?" Par SOMEBODY says this country has universities enough. But that isn’t the question. The question is, what shall our millionaires do with their superfluous money ? BUFFALO was so enthusiastic over the encampment of the grand army that even the penitentiary put out a flag of welcome; though, to be sure, not a veteran availed himself of its hospitality. SPEAKING OF DUELS, it is a melancholy fact that any mention whatever of the late Crown-prince Rudolph must necessarily be an insult to Austria. Why, then, should Rudolph’s memory be worth any- body's bloodshed ? GEN of RAL MILES has been to Europe, and the other day the secretary wasted an hour watching the president and vice-president play ten-pins, The patriot jingo sighs and inquires with great indignation, “What! shall there be no war?” Mus. Jackson—"'I's gwine call him Klondike Gravel Jackson, ‘cause it takes so much time toe wash an’ cradle him.” THE ECSTASY OF SCORN. “ WERE WE VENGEFUL instead of noble,” says a Havana news- paper," Fitzhugh Lee would not be in the position he is now in, after his insults. He knows that the Spaniards do not regard him as a brave, important enemy in Cuba.” The writer evidently intends the with- ering-contempt act. He gets himself with alacrity on a tall stool that he may look down upon the object of his scorn, TOO MUCH HAPPINESS. [N THIBET a woman can have five husbands, all of whom are obliged to work for her, and no matter what she does she is never punished. Miss Taxter says so, and Miss Taxter is asking women to go there and be happy. We must advise the emigrants to go quickly, because that state of things cannot last long. It is too much to expect that five husbands to a woman will not result in a bloody revolution. LIKE PRODUCES LIKE. BARBARISM invites barbarism. The torture of suspected men by the Spanish government is as worthy of the dark ages as the murder done by anarchists. Revolution in Cuba and the Philippines is a natural result of unjust taxation and bad government. Spain must modernize i herself, and the first step is to take her hands off the peoples of other coun- tries who have a right to govern them- selves, THE FUND BUSINESS. THE DAUGHTERS of Mrs. Stowe rebuke the proposition of some newspaper to make them objects of charity. They insist that they are no: paupers and are in need of no fund. The impertinence of some of the news- papers given to raising funds amounts to more than their goodness of heart. They are too infernally kind. A mod- erate income is not poverty. As Will- iam H. Vanderbilt once remarked, “A man worth a hundred thousand dollars is as well off as if he were rich.” A GOOD SIGN, ANYHOW. aT HE BUSINESS ORGANIZA- TION of Richmond, Virginia, that invites the grand army to that town for its next encampment returns good for the evil of the refusal of the grand army to march with the confederates through our streets on the last fourth of July. The organization refuses, however, to drop the color line in be- half of the black veterans of the union cause, and ‘the grand army avoids a great trouble and unpleasantness by going elsewhere. Nevertheless the in- vitation was right in line with progress * and common sense. WELL NAMED. Kuverenn Jounson —" Whad yo" gwine toe name him, Mrs. MARRIAGE AS A BUSINESS MATTER. A CLERGYMAN out west protests against the alleged fact that some of his brethren have dealings with hackmen who are appealed to by young couples to find men authorized to marry them, and that they actu- ally have runners who infest boats and trains in search of matrimonial material. The evil ought to be stopped. Unless it is the time is not dis tant when a chromo will be given with every ceremony, when marriage will cost a dime and three marriages a quarter, and when for certain amount a certain couple will be sent through Europe on that number of bicycles. THE RIGHT OF INSULT. [N BATAVIA recently a lawyer spoke of one reputable witness as a deliberate. liar and of another as an infamous scoundrel. The Rochester Democrat declares that the privilege of a lawyer to thus slander decent men, and for that matter to browbeat witnesses, ought to be taken away, or the slandered persons ought to be protected by the court. This has been said very often, but the abuse goes right on. If these insults were to be resented in court the offending person would be fined for contempt of thatjinstitution; but the lawyers’ contempt of the court and the ordinary proprieties is far worse and he gets no punishment at all. comicbooks.com
