EPWIN ARNOLD in marrying a Japanese lady shows that he has the courage of his poetry and his convictions. woe MAsY GREEKS in Athens want to fight Turkey, and some of them have gone so far as to begin to run in the opposite direction. Sam JONES having the finest mansion in Georgia, it would seem that he is mote successful in sav- ing money than in saving souls. THE MONROE DOCTRINE A NECESSITY. BISMARCK. js not right in the declaration that the Monroe doctrine is insolence to-Europe. It is rather a means of natural protection and its purpose is to prevent insolence from abroad. It is likewise a guarantee of peace without the undemocratic maintenance of a great army. The effort of Louis Napoleon to make an empire of Mexico must never be for- gotten. ol DEFENDER’ OF THE HOME. At A MEETING of Mr. Debs’s social democracy in Chicago the other day one woman whipped another because the latter had slandered her husband. Certainly that was democratic, but it wasn’t social. But the precedent it creates is in harmony with the progress of the period, if it doesn’t settle the question whether the man or the woman is the head of the family. SAD. T IS THE ATHLETE who wins the favor of women in France, says a French writer, rather than the man of means. So bere; but while our Sullivans and Corbetts win women with the greatest ease, they set them aside with equal rapidity. They are fickle charmers. They are by no means the noble fellows they should be to warrant the affections so effu- sively thrown at them. SUGGESTIVE SILENCE. OUR DAILIES of this town failed to editorially notice the death of Mr. Dana. The dislike of three of these great journals for the great editor “is. emphasized by: this silence, though perhaps it. was WE TRUST the counterfeit- ers of the Pittsburg pe tentiary will not break out and drench the country with their presence and their bogus dol- lars. wee +4] AM NEITHER pretty nor frivolous,” says-a Boston typewriter who advertises for a position. She evidently prefers a position under the direction of one of her own sex. cee +4 MY MISSION in life,” says a woman anarchist, “is to make the people discontent- ed.” That is mild anarchy. What she really wants is to drive them to murder and suicide. eee A FREE METHODIST cler- gyman of Illinois having been convicted of the dreadful charge of having an organ in his church, the question now is whether he shall be roasted or merely hanged. WE BEG to commend the proposed nuptials of young Mr. George and Miss Hitch of Chicago, and trust there will be nothing of the latter kind in the nuptial ceremony, excepting perhaps the lady. JERRY SIMPSON, in predicting a panic before the end of the year greater than has been heretofore dreamed of, is meaner than Wiggins, the cyclone promoter, Why frighten everybody to death? A PAPER says there is nothing in poker that improves or betters man- kind. We see how it is. We must get our amusement, as Horace Grecley used to suggest, by the healthful exercise of sawing wood. THE MOON, according to the latest telescopes. is. without life and within itself of no possible value, We are disappointed about this. It is about the only part of the universe that doesn’t shriek over a great discovery of gold. UNPOWDER, in the view of an English journalist, is needed to put a stop to the annoyances at Washington, The medicine has been twice tried, and it did excessive damage both times, not to the patient, but to the parties who presented it. Curious what queer things different kinds of boomerang are made of. BARN-YARD BITTERNESS. Mr. Drake—" Whatcher cryin’ fer?” Mrs. WaDDLE—"* Oh, everything ‘s down on me!” judged that silence would be the best of kindness and courtesy in view of their desire not to speak well of the dead. But a news- paper owes something to its readers as well as to itself. SOME PREVALENT WISDOM. THE CHICAGO CLERGY- MAN who declares that the Christian church is a. failure and the young men’s associa- tions and women’s temperance societies ought to be buried is a litle unsatisfactory. Why doesn’t he add to his informa- tion by mentioning the institu- tions that ought to take their places? It is easy to smash things, but before that is done means ought to be taken for the saving of the pieces. INSULT ADDED TO INJURY. Mes LANGTRY lives to vindicate herself with the public statement that'she contributed yearly to the support of her husband. The man, being dead, cannot explain or deny; so that, while his life was miserable, his memory is dishonored. It would have been far better generosity to have-omitted both the money and the statement; but the dead cannot command: their friends, while their enemies live to continue their injustice and persecution. THAT ROYAL BUSYBODY. THE KAISER wanted to telegraph the Spanish government his con- gratulations because of what he called its firmness in its relations with Mr. Woodford. He intended a slap at this government after the manner of his rebuke of England through congratulations to Uncle Paul of the Transvaal. Happily his advisers talked him out of it; but his desire to burn his fingers will bé gratified some day. It is kings, we believe, that rush in where angels fear to tread. WOMANLY CHARITY. THIS STATE has a society for the promotion of good manners among women. It thinks women ought to be kinder to each other, that they should thank men for street-car and other courtesies, and that they should be more charitable in their judgment of women as well as men. It is opposed to woman-suffrage, however, and we suspect that all the other women’s societies will immediately begin to pitch into it with such abusive energy that it will be sorry it was ever so foolish as to have itself born. comicbooks.com
