AN ALLIANCE between France and Spain would give us the friendship of the little German emperor to such an extent that he would enunciate in our behalf in a loud voice. eee SIXTY-EIGHT PER CENT, of the Span- ish people do not know how to read or write.

THE MESSAGE of sympathy sent to England by the czar on the death of Gladstone was the more generous in view of the grand old man's contemptuous reference to the rulers of Germany and Russia while the Turks were assassinating the Christians of Armenia. After all, the czar is a good deal of a man; or rather they are wise men who dictate his official utterances, OUR IMPENDING AMAZONS, THERE ARE three women colonels, one in Tennessee, one in Georgia, and one in Arkansas. They are on the staffs of the governors of those states, and wear the uniform, at least so far as the epaulet is con- cerned. Is Charlotte Smith so far in advance of the civilization of this period, after all? If colonels, why not generals? For that matter, why not privates, and if privates why not companies and regiments? LET WELL-ENOUGH ALONE. THE CONFEDERATE FLAGS are doing well enough in our posses- sion. They are bygones, and so let them remain, If any southern state wants its flags a simple request for them ought to be honored by the government. But nobody cares for them. They are an old story and one that we are all forgetting as fast as we can. A new war and new ideas have swept over the dead past and there is no call for any resurrection of it. “LIVES OF GREAT MEN.” ADMIRAL DEWEY when a boy tried to whip the teacher of a district school, and got so pounded that he resigned the enter- prise; and when grown up he went to the teacher and thanked him for the pounding, adding that the teacher had made a man of him. Perhaps the ambitious school-boy of to-day will profit by this example, but he had better utter the apology first and let the other part take its natural course. Still further, we are grieved to learn that the admiral didn’t begin life by cutting down his papa’s cherry- tree, THE MISCHIEF OF GOOD- NATURE, * Should one jadge from the so-called comic page, all men are'liars and dishonorable, all women frivolous and. unfaithful, all children imps, all mother-in-law mon- sters, all:homes unhappy, all husbands and wives quar- relsome, all-dealers cheats, all ministers whited sepul- hres, all’charitable organizations frauds, all mankind thoroughly corrupt. HUS THE EDITOR of the Elmira Ga- zette laments what he calls the mischief of the comic. The extract has its modicum of truth; but let the dear man think! Shall we eliminate satire? Shall we abolish the exaggeration of poetry? Shall we omit that part of history which is not susceptible of absolute proof? Shall we overlook hypocrisy and pretension? Shall pomposity and vain- gloriousness go unpricked of their ridiculous wind? Go to! Give the world credit for some little intelligence. ANCESTRY. N A RECENT Cosmopolitan the editor makes a statement in settling a woman's chances of success, which is puzzling. “Centuries of intel- lectual and physical idleness,” he says, “have placed the average woman of to-day at a disadvantage, in most things requiring energy or stamina, when ranged alongside the man, whose ancestors were accustomed to a stronger life.” Perhaps he means to say that men have one line of ances~ tors and women another line. Or possibly we are to understand that a man draws his superior energy and stamina from the male side and a woman her inferior energy and stamina from the female side. In this case the “centuries of intellectual and physical idleness” in woman would re- flect weakness only upon her female offspring, and not upon the men. Mind, we cheerfully acknowledge man’s superiority, but the writer's rea- soning leaves us sore distrait. We had always supposed that our ances- tors had left their good and evil traits to us men and women with com- mendable impartiality. comicbooks.com
