Probably it will not be mobbed until next week. ARE THERE NOT destructive worms in the imported pretzel and German wines? Let the discovery of them take place at once. THE INCOME of Mr. Rockefeller is forty-one thousand dollars a day, and yet they say that the era of pros- perity has not arrived, F THOSE wise men of Gotham who went to sea in a bowl had selected one of our cruisers for the experiment the story would have been still shorter. WHEN THE PRESIDENT of these states is insulted there are no parties, but an indivisible whole. That is nationality, and that proves the . success of the republic. THE LOSS of the Maine brings the discovery that de Lome loves America and the Americans—he says so himself, There is no misfortune without some compensation. McMurry (tildly)— MCTAMANY (excitedly) T'row me out yure pin-cus! HE BULLDOG is a pet of many society ladies of Washington, but we don’t believe that accounts for the several suicides by ladies which have recently occurred there. -M® SOVEREIGN says he is going to organize a secret political party which will sweep the country. the country was swept again. We thought it was about time that Ss YAGHUMS” are described in a Pitsburg dispatch as armed men who prey on tramps, and two of them recently killed a person of that kind. Is it possible that there are lower men who prey on yag- hums? WHEN ONE considers the industry of Charlotte B. Smith, who wants bachelors taxed ten dollars a year for the support of old maids, it becomes a duty to insist that the cost of bachelorism shall be ten times larger. HEN the de Lome letter was published a paper out west declared that if Jackson were president we should be at war with Spain right away. Great as Andrew was, it is easy to imagine that he is a better man dead than he would be if he were living. A GAUNTLET ACCEPTED. ‘ure anither come over until yure yarrd an’ bate yez, THE NEXT DANGER. POPULISTS, Democrats and cranks are tooting their horns for union and harmony in the next national election, It is not necessary. They fraternize naturally. It is to be a fight for and against sound money, and the sound-money men will have to fight hard to win, THE MEANEST MAN. HE CONTRACTOR who builds poor vessels for his government, or who furnishes poor ammunition and poor guns, is as guilty of treason as if he had gone over to the enemy, and ought to be hanged. The gov- ernment pays well for its work and material, and to give in return a dam- aged article is to be a thief as well as a traitor. A FOOLISH THREAT. THE THREAT of the woman's temperance union to boycott Vale if she doesn’t forbid her students visiting the saloons of New Haven, and if she doesn’t work for prohibition in that town, is more impertinent than wise. ‘The authority of the college doesn’t extend beyond the prem- ises, and it would be as reasonable to insist on prohibition in the state of Connecticut on peril of a boycott. NARROWNESS. CORNING MINISTER denounces minstrel entertainments as low and degrading, and there is excitement in consequence because some leading citizens of the town propose to play in that line for charity. The essentials of these shows are fun and d they may be as legitimate as good acting or good preaching. Are we to believe that because they are en- joyable they must necessarily be bad? THEIR FEET OF CLAY. PROBABLY the child-wife of Cas- sius M Clay is greatly shocked at the determination of the old man to get a divorce. She is perverse and fickle and has disgraced him in many ways; but that he should want to get rid of her is an affront to her self-pride and her unconscious ignorance. Per- haps, however, the old man thinks that his threat of divorce is the only means to get her to live with him, for the two are a pair in all essentials, THE PRESS AND THE LAW-MAKERS. THE OPPOSITION to the press brought out by the press-gag bill at Albany is astonishing. But for the press very few of these opponents of a legitimate business would ever have been heard of; and their impatience at the right of fair as well as unfair criti- cism shows a weakness that belongs to few bodies of men of that size. The influence of the press in politics is per- haps not as great as has been claimed; but there ought to be some results from this injustice. An’ fer two pins Oi'd "Did yer hear thot, Hanorah? , darlint.” A CHURCH LYNCHING. STRANGER named Rawlins appeared in a church in Blue Ridge, Georgia, on a recent Sunday, in a dress rather the worse for wear. Alter the services portions of the congregation laughed and swore at him, and finally one of them shot him dead. ‘Then the congregation seized the murderer and hanged him. It will be seen that, while the members of this church are fastidious as to dress, they are strictly just, though per- haps a little rapid in their methods. ST. JOHN, EX-BAPTIST. OHN P. ST. JOHN signed a petition to grant a license to a place in his town, and the prohibition party of Kansas and elsewhere is hurl- ing epithets at him as hot and heavy as if he were Grover Cleveland, who did the same thing at Princeton, instead of merely an ex-governor. It is an amazing change, the man having been among the craziest of those peculiar agitators who, disliking certain things themselves, declare that nobody else shall have them, ‘The end cannot be foreseen, but it may be feared that the poor man will be taken out and shot. comicbooks.com
