BUILDERS of war-vessels are convinced that the era of prosperity has arrived. oe SENATOR MASON ought to fight that Spanish editor if he has to do it by substitute. . . THE SYMPATHY of England is a good thing to have; but our fight- ing must, like charity, begin at home. eee THE DEATH PENALTY might be abolished, but the reform should begin with the victims of the mur- derers, oe ET THIS NATION, in behalf of Cuba, adopt the words of General Grant, “1 will have peace if I have to fight for it.” THE NEWSPAPERS of Chicago are firing so much hot shot into each other that they won't have any left to kill Spaniards with. . +6 AMERICANS,” squeals a Spanish editor, “are persons who deal in pigs.” They likewise deal with pigs, as the Spanish are likely to discover. oe ISS HELLPOPPER wants a court in Oklahoma to change her name. If she is that kind of popper there ought to be an easier way than that. eee THE LADIES of a church in Mun- cie, Indiana, having submitted to a demand of the trustees that they re- move their hats, we are convinced that they are real good Christians. .

THE EDITOR of the Salt Lake 7rsbune may not be half right in his remark that a war with Spain wouldn't last a month, Wee recall the words of Secretary Seward in ‘sixty-one, “It will all be over in ninety days.” * What. asks the Atlanta Constitution, would the people of the north do if black men were given post-offices in their section? That remains to be seen, and we trust the matter will long continue in that condition, GOVERNOR LEEDY of Kansas is shocked and grieved because the national supreme court won't make its decisions according to his dicta- tion, There is only one way. That supreme court must go. Mr. Bryan says so himself. HER ONLY me dat Mickey McLaughlin wuz elected *sub™ pitcher on de ball- an’ I'm prayin’ night an’ day dat he Il git batted outer de box in de WAR AND PROSPERITY. HE PAPERS are discussing the question whether war or peace is most profitable to business and the public generally. It seems to be for- gotten that in war people are killed. Those persons are rather more inter- ested in the business than anybody else, and it is generally held that their taking off is not profitable to them or to their widows and orphans, FAMILY SYMPATHY. THE EMPEROR of Austria sides with Spain because the queen regent is an Austrian and 4 relative. Does his majesty recall Maximilian, likewise a relative and an Austrian, who, ordered out of Mexico by this government, remained and was presently shot? There is lots of bad luck for those foreign powers that meddle with the business of North and South America. THINK OF IT! BEHIND the question as to the Maine is the fact that four hundred thousand innocent men, women and children of Cuba have starved to death and the starving is still going on. Can this government afford to stand its part of the responsibility for that monstrous crime? The Spanish must end the war in Cuba or the United States must do it for them. Humanity has its rights too. THE RIGHT TO KILL. THREE JUDGES in as many states have decided that a man has a right to kill the destroyer of his home. That is not law; but it is public sentiment nearly everywhere, and: juries are apt to avoid facts in order to reach the same conclusion. It is shocking enough; but if it prove an effective warning to any of these destroyers much good will have come out of a not very large amount of evil. SOCIETY AND THE NEGRO. OCIETY in this town dances with black babies in its arms, does cake- walking, plays the banjo, and gives minstrel shows. When the negro sets the pace for society in that way it would seem at first glance as if he were look- ing up. But it is merely the borrow- ing of his fun and sentiment without any compensating return; and down south he is shot by “the best people’ for the crime of office-holding. OUR BILLY. T MAY BE, as the Spaniard who wants to fight him says, that Sen- ator Mason would not resent a slap in the face, but we don’t believe he would turn the other cheek. There are de- grees of courtesy to which a proud and sensitive nature cannot submit without a feeling of extreme regret and humili- ation. But there is a way to find out. Has it occurred to the Spaniard that he might come north and make the experiment ? HOPE. *: Yes, Maggie : ‘twas an evil lay fer ly love him so much?" aggie. His coldness is killin’ me, COURTSHIP BY FORCE. YOUNG MAN tells the Wor/d that he was four times refused by the girl of his heart; but on making the fifth proposition, accompanied by the boxing of her ears with sufficient force to knock her down, she said, after weeping, “Yes, dear.” That kind of man generally kills his girl; so that it is not impossible to commend him for his conservatism. Doubtless he has made up his mind not to kill ber until after marriage, and it is never wise to be in a hurry in such matters. BANE, AND ANTIDOTE, T IS DECLARED by the 7¥mes- Herald of Chicago that the populists, silver Democrats, socialists and anarchists propose to unite on the platform free Cuba, free silver, and expect to sweep the country in the congressional elections. Here is an attempted mixture of patriotism and villainy that is probably impossible, the one knocking the other out; but we’ suspect that the president will get a little ahead of these flag-flying repudiationists by administering the virtue without the poison. comicbooks.com
