T° MR. WEYLER, who says he wants a short, swift war—* You're going to get it, my boy.” 4sQ PAIN,” says Zola, “will yield at the last moment.” Does the dis- tinguished novelist mean the last ditch? ssPOOR SPAIN! ex- claims the New York Evening Post. “Ab, yes. But let us not forget poor Turkey and poor hell. WE SOMETIMES think the growling of the Evening Post's dogs of peace is more terrible than that of the dogs of war. ACEERGYMAN says there are only eleven or twelve real ideas in the world. The declaration would be one of them if it were not totally untrue. oe WHEN THE EDITOR of the Evening Post heard of the victory at Manila he was so mad that he want- ed to go right off and shoot the president. CASTELAR says indig- nation seals his lips. We beg to congratulate him. No Spaniard opens his mouth just at this time without putting his foot in it. WOMEN not only want to fight for Cuba, but they are calling in a loud voice for smoking-cars for their special use. They will be wanting to saw wood next. N A GREAT state of alarm some fifty Boston girls have formed them- selves into an anti-marrying association. We had looked for some such thing on the part of Boston's young men. LEMENT SCOTT says that when he said a woman couldn't go on the stage without losing her virtue he was laboring under a great mental strain. That of course. The remark is ample proof of it. NEW LAW in Ohio makes it optional with juries in capital cases to say whether a murderer shall be hanged or sent to the electric chair. The option might as well be given to the convicted man, No jury ever yet elected to kill a man if it could possibly avoid it. DEWEY RISKED MUCH in going up against the Manila forts and the Spanish fleet, not to mention some possible submarine dynamite. He had good reason to remember the Maine, too, But nothing ventured nothing gained. He at least knew the difference between Spanish bluff and Spanish courage. ALLOWING FOR SHRINKAGE. Tue RecruIr—* But this uniform is about three sizes too large.” Tue QUARTEKMASTER—" Ob, the rainy season in Cuba will fix that all right.” THE OLD SEVENTH. HEN THE SEVENTH regiment went into the field during the last war the boys were neat, natty and handsome. A veteran, dirty and poorly dressed, looked one of them over from hat to shoes, and remarked with a grim smile, * Wot a pretty corpse you'll make!" But the seventh got its reputation as a regiment of fighters just the same. A CHARMING SUBJECT. OROSIS recently discussed the-subject, according to the Evening Sun, “Art; its relation to nothing in general and to goodness knows whut in particular.” ‘There is an honesty in that title which is so interesting that one has no curiosity with regard to the discussion, It is a sufficiency unto itself. ‘The political discussions of Sorosis have had no such charm and, we feel sure, not half as much information. HER MAJESTY’S COURAGE. + 6A SPIRIT,” says the queen regent, “shall never be daunted so long as Ican rely on the patriotism and courage of the’ Spaniards.” Here are courage and devotion worthy of the late Mrs. Micawber. The dear old lady frequently declared that she would never desert her husband, possibly inquiring within herself what in the world would become of her if she did. And Mr. Micawber was a reed shaken by so many winds! A FAMOUS WELCOME. URING OUR LATE WAR Robert Toombs, if we remember rightly, declared that the south would welcome northerners into the confed- eracy with bloody hands to hospitable graves. It was a cruel declaration, and it seems strange now that it was utter- ed by a brother with regard to brothers; but war is war, But if Weyler gets back into Cu- ba the Cubans will probably translate it into Spanish, and it will seem quite pleasant and commendable, THE BARBARIANS. yeu R REVOLUTION- IST is a man that's ag’in, it, whatever it is. The Mad- tid person of that kind would have kicked if the government had backed down, Now that the government fights and loses, he is more bloodthirsty than ever and wants chaos instead of government. No- body can see how that might improve matters, but that doesn't matter—if he can’t have foreign blood he wants the Spanish kind. In Paris this sort of thing is the Tising of the commune. In Madrid it is the rising of ignorance, prejudice, malice, cruelty and all unholiness. WOMEN IN POLITICS AND WAR. YOUNG JOHN C. FREMONT, who recently acted as a pathfinder in Cuba of a dark night, recalls the romantic campaign of ‘fifty-six, when his father was the first national candidate of the brand-new Republican party. Colonel Fremont had run away with and married Jessie, daughter of Senator Thomas:H. Benton, otherwise known as Old Bullion; and the lady accompanied him on one of his expeditions overland to California. One battle-cry of the campaign was “Fremont and Jessie,” and it was frequently remarked by Republicans, “We'll give ‘em Jessie.” And, on the whole, if those of our women who want to fight are serious, it might be well to let ‘em do it. THE MARRIED AS FIGHTERS. WE MUST ADMIT that there is reason in Josephine Shaw Lowell’s declaration that married men have no business to go to war. When a married man is in war he has, if not an officer, no one to help him dress. There ought to be a valet to every private soldier, but this is impossible; and we believe vivandiéres run only one to a regiment. Then again, who shall help the absent wife in her morning and other toilets, if she cannot afford a maid? She must perforce harness herself in her corset by tying herself to a door, and her large sleeves must poke back themselves or go unpoked, These things seem trivial, but when they go on week after week and month after month they amount to agony. comicbooks.com
