SPEAKING of the Vesuvius, blessed are the piecemakers. eae THE FAME of Camara as the ancient mariner can never die. eee ROOSEVELT is a historian, and he makes history as ably as he writes it. SOME DAY Henry James will fall through one of his fifty-line sentences and break his grammar. THE KINDNESS of Cervera in contribut- ing to the glories of our fourth of July must never be forgotten. ce ‘HONOR AND FAME from no condition rise," and the dudes and the cowboys of our army fight equally well. L®t SUMMER - RE- SORTERS breathe freely. The Spanish war- vessels will not come north for fear of the watering- places. . THE DEMOCRATS of two western states having pronounced for Bryan and free silver, the call again becomes urgent for a national board of health, T MAY be mentioned as a fact, we believe, that the star-spangled ban- ner remains in the same position, as anybody may see by the dawn's early light. SENATOR MASON promises to kiss the sweethearts of all the boys who go to war. That is indubitable evidence, the sly rascal, that he means to serve his country solely as a member of the home guard. E RECALL nothing of the history of General Shafter with the ex- ception of that which he has recently achieved, outside of the fact that some pretty good slang frequently mentions him as bully Billy. 'HERE IS a woman's humane society in St. Louis, and at a recent elec- tion of officers of the same there was a riot and somebody stole the ballot-box. Put a woman on horseback and she will ride to Tammany hall. % THE UNIVERSITY of Rochester has decided to admit women on equal terms with male students on the payment of one hundred thou- sand dollars, and the women of Rochester are trying to raise the blood- money. WHat ARE a few thousand more Spanish lives in comparison with Sagasta’s determination to“ push the war to the end" in vindica- tion of Spanish honor? For, after all, they are not the lives of government officials, but of the common people. UNCONSCIOUSLY UNKIND. MamMa—*' From what animal do we get our milk?” FLosste—"* From the milkman.” HOW BLOOD TELLS. ARK YOU! Theodore Roosevelt is a great man. As a member of our legislature twenty years ago, as a police commissioner in this town, as assistant secretary of the navy, and as a lieutenant-colonel, has he not been continuously and conspicuously at the front ? WHY? THE CAPTURE of the queen regent and her boy is urged by Senator Chandler's paper, the Concord Afonifor, It might be an excéllent thing for the two, but two little white elephants of that kind would weigh heavily on our hands. As a matter of mercy the proposition may be con- sidered; but as a matter of fact it suggests that Mr. Chandler has gone crazy. OUR RECKLESS BOYS. THE NEWSPAPER BOYS in Cuba seem to have got the impression that they are there to run the war and not merely to report it. They deserve the honorable mention they have had, but in their cases it ought to be understood that discretion is the better part of valor. It is so true as to be startling that he who writes and runs away will live to write an- other day. DO WE FIGHT FOR NOTHING? R, CLEVELAND and Mr. Bryan are united in the belief that this government must do no fighting for the mere purpose of conquest. Really, however, conquest is inseparable: from success; and would these gentlemen advise that there be only partial victories as a means to peace through moral svasion? Tt does seem, moreover, as if indemnity for the cost of war and the loss of life is a reasonable thing to expect. WHY WIN? THE MUGWUMP IDEA in politics is to win victories and hand the flags and honors back to the enemy. There is a mugwump idea in war to the same effect; but we guess that, having con- quered the Philippines and the desired Cuban terri- tory, the United States will hold on to them long enough to see what they are made of. Anyhow, strange as it may seem, that is a part of the pur- pose of this blood-shed- ding. PRESENTLY. THE QUESTION as to what to do with the Philippines and the other acquisitions from Spain will keep. There is no hurry about it, and the emergencies leading up to it are just now a sufficiency unto themselves. Probably they are the only value through which Spain can give us indem- nity for the sacrifices of war; but that in due season, Meanwhile they will give us some lively national politics; and what, oh what! if they might bury the silver question? OWING TO THE HEAT. OF THE PRIZE ESSAYISTS of a famous New England college Dr. E. E. Hale found after investigation that all of them had stolen their expressions and ideas, and three of them had stolen identical passages from the same authors. It is evident that the students-of these institutions must undergo a wider course of reading and must familiarize themselves with authors not generally known. However, the commencement season is generally warm and the competing students are very busy. THINGS CHANGE. HE MONROE DOCTRINE may include the two continents, leaving Canada as she is in behalf of the conservative view; and for the pur- pose of protection and as a guarantee of good faith it may include posses- sion of Hawaii and the Philippines. Undoubtedly Washington and Jeffer- son were correct in their views from their standpoint ; but during a century things change, including situations, opportunities and circumstances. We got Alaska against the suggestions of the forefathers, and Alaska is a Pretty good property. comicbooks.com
