ZOLA is among the immortals, and no thanks to any academy. [F WEYLER wants to be real good during Lent he'll give up the ghost. T IS A PITY that Senator Mason isn't a mute, because he talks better with his fists than his mouth. THE LONG LIFE and good health of Mr, Gladstone are doubtless due to the alleged fact that Mrs. Gladstone never con- tradicted him. KENTUCKY BOY kissed a girl and gaVe her measles, and now she sues him for dam- ages. The case is not unreason- able, and she ought to have a dollar for every measle. A UNIVERSAL CRISIS is looked for by John J. In- galls—“the most tremendous explosion that has ever been known in the world’s history.” Aha! Mrs, Lease again. WE FEEL authorized to say that Spain warmly in- dorses the demand by the Phil- adelphia peace society that con- gress refuse to appropriate the money necessary to strengthen the coast defenses. Ten dollars" A MAN of St. Louis just out of a trance says he was at the gate of heaven three days. He ought to have had his pass with him. Prob- ably he will never have that chance again, ss ]/M ONLY going a journey to meet my baby in heaven,” were the last words of a man who was hanged in Illinois the other day. He had killed the child, but his heart was true. Speaking of town elections, the selection of Snooks for r of the town of Podunk doesn’t seem to have any impres- sion on English politics or the war situation here. A CLEVER WOMAN says she likes to talk cleverly to a man, but never to a woman becaue it excites her envy and jealousy. And she ought to know because she belongs to the sex, poor thing! GAM JONES wants to be governor of Georgia, as well as Tom Watson and the philosopher of Pigeon Roost. We should think Georgia would want to hide her head and secede again, this time for keeps. PERRY BELMONT having introduced Mr. Croker to our four hundred, there are persons who think that the question who shall ru for gov- ernor of New York on the Democratic ticket i virtually settled; but David B. Hill thinks he knows better. A NATURAL ERROR. —"" Could youse spare a poor feller on'y ten dollars fer a meal?” "*Scuse me, boss; I meant ten cents. t got used ter New York ways yet.” THE GRACEFUL SURRENDER. [F THIS COUNTRY doesn’t give Spain an opportunity to shoot a few guns at her she will have to evacuate Cuba, and she thinks that humil- iation worse than the sacrifice of thousands of lives. ‘That is the kind of false pride that is the most barbarous of all cruelty. LIVE QUESTIONS. A WOMAN'S SOCIETY for political study in this town got very angry the other day while discussing the question whether Jefferson Davis was a traitor. If it ever asks itself whether John Wilkes Booth still lives there can b: no peace without the aid of the police. And, by the way, what are its views on the slavery question ? MURDER BY WHITE TRASH. HAT PRIDE which induced a mob in Lake city, South Carolina, to murder a black man for the crime of being a postmaster, to kill his baby and to wound his wife and other children, is difficult to analyze. It is the offspring of ignorance, malice and jealousy, and it proclaims to the black man that he may be ambitious only at the peril of his life. A UNITED PEOPLE. THE NATIONAL SPIRIT proclaims itself with every appearance of a flag and every song to its honor. We don’t want to fight unless it is unavoidable, but it is a satisfaction to know that we are ready to fight the moment it becomes necessary or advisable. Let that time come and this country will have no sections and no party lines until the trouble is over. A GOOD EXAMPLE. R. TALMAGE devotes a sermon to praise of the newspapers. We believe he is the first clergyman to say a good word for those vehicles of infor- mation, though certainly they have done far more good than evil and have a right to claim fair play from the pulpit. It has become a fad to condemn them. Let us hope that it will become a fad to judge them as they de- serve. WOMEN AND WAR. MES. HANAFORD says we never would have had a civil war if the women of the country had had their rightful influence. The women of the south were quite as bitter as the men, and it has taken them longer to recover from it; and within three months there have been half-a-dozen women’s con- ventions the members of which quarreled themselves half to death and separated in a state of irreparable enmity. Let Mrs. Hanaford put that in her pipe when she is out of tobacco. T've jest escaped from Daw- BLOOD ON THE MOON. SUSAN B, ANTHONY says that “the grievances women have against the common enemy, man, to-day are as many as the colonists had against King George.” There has been too,much talk. It is time to stop counting outrages for the purpose of abolishing them. There must be civil war in the family, in society and in the church. This new King George must be hauled from his pedestal and have his cheek reddened and his ears pulled, The war feeling is up. If we can’t fight Spain or some other power we must fight one another. WHY SO SENSITIVE? WHAT IS THE USE of getting angry at foreign lecturers in America who give unfavorable impressions of American audiences, and even of American women? They are doubtless honest in their views; if they were not the impressions would be without value and unworthy of notice. If they gave only praise that would still be valueless, for it is not to be expected that they will see things through their glasses as we see them through ours. And hasn’t this country acquired a sufficiency of self- fespect to overcome its sensitiveness to criticism? comicbooks.com
