HoR4ce BOIES on the silver question—“ I dunno, I dunno,” Saray THE ABSENCE from legislatures of men who want to gag the press is acrying want. IFTY MILLION DOLLARS for the nation’s honor are likewise so many reasons why Cuba should be free. eee CHINA is not to be partitioned. Russia, Germany and Japan are there merely for a little visit of a century or so. . + THE ARMY is superior to justice,” said the president of the court which tried Zola. Apparently it is also incapable of it. HIP-BUILDING is a business, but we don’t believe it would be quite prudent for Brazil to sell war-vessels to the Spanish government. THE VESSELS bought by bankrupt Spain remind one of the victories won by Weyler—they are mostly accomplishments of the imagination for purely telegraphic purposes. HE MARRIED WOMEN of a Georgia town want a curfew law for their husbands, and at a recent meeting to discuss the matter re- mained out till two o'clock in the morning. ee GAGGING the French press invites more danger to the French republic than the secret tribunal and punishment of the innocent, and the government that attempts it is not fit to live. eee S LONG as ex-Senator Hill does work like that in behalf of a free press he isn’t out of politics, and it may even be suspected that politics is searching for him. eee ba LINCOLN had_ had his way,” says a lady who makes speeches, “the women would have been the people.” But if that sit- uation had prevailed, dear, there wouldn't have been any Lincoln. 900000.05 SPAINS WAR APPROPRIATION W STATE it as a cruel fact that a Boston young man other night, Is there to be no sphere of life for the exclusive oc- cupancy of the universal man? A PROTEST against free acting for benefits is put forward by a good many actors. There are not more generous people in the world than these actors; but there ought to be a limit, at the point, for instance, where they are asked to give their services to causes that hold their profession in abhor- ' rence.

And there are certain airs of the late confederacy which are as good for national purposes as the old favorites which are given at the theatres and other places with great applause. TROUBLE, \ ORTIONS of the nation- al guard of this state refuse to wear convict-made uniforms; and a humanita- rian proposes that the stripes shall not be forced upon convicts, they being a badge of unnecessary humiliation. Thus two new questions are thrust upon us, and taken to- gether they are a bad case of stars and stripes. _— “AND STILL SPAIN WANTS TO FIGHT UNCLE SAM," OUR DUTCH UNCLE. ‘THIS TOWN has a mayor who regards gentlemen as fit subjects on general principles for the punishment of ten dollars or ten days, He talks to his subordinates in office as if they were children or fools, and looks upon office-holding, excepting his own, as sufficient cause for sus- picion and conviction without trial.

Hill to laws prohibiting the liberty of the press is an indirect blow to Richard Croker that will count well in the fight of those two leaders for control of the Democratic party of this state. The ex-senator knows just when and how to speak, and Mr, Croker is almost as unfortunate in that respect as Mr. Platt, PERILS OF POSTMASTERS.

It might be well for the president to insist that these southern lynchers shall select their man for appointment at the polls, particularly as the friends of the favorites would be pretty apt to fight and kill each other before reaching a choice. THE WHITE TO BLAME. oe I™ IS NOT," says a southern lady, “the full-blooded black man who commits the crime which most in- vites lynching. You never heard of such outrages before the war. The crime is a result of mixed blood. ‘The man who does it is yellow, or pale, or ashen.” So it is, the read- er will see, the viciousness of the white in the mixture that produces these deplorable results; though, to be sure, there was mixture be- fore the war, 0.000.000 UNCLE SAM'S WAR THE PENALTY OF BEING RIGHT, ZoLas LAST BOOK has only a slight sale in Paris, the book- » sellers not caring to keep it on their counters. So that there is such a thing as too much advertising, or rather publicity of the wrong kind. The first volume of Greeley's “American Conflict” sold well; but the second volume fell flat because of the unpopularity of Greeley after signing the bail-bond of Jefferson Davis.
