MOREOVER, the colored troops fight nobly. eee THERE AKE OBJECTIONS to Hawaii, but we must remember that she wasn't manufactured to our order. cee THERE 1S NOTHING in which the kaiser doesn't propose to have a hand, and directly he is going to burn his fingers. ere THE CHICAGO MAN who stole twelve marble tombstones was mighty careful not to invite the bad luck involved in the other. CHEAP LAWYER badgering a decent witness reminds the citizen how grateful he ought to be for the protection of the law. see SAGasTa would like to send a hundred thousand more men to Cuba to be slaughtered, including doubtless all of his wife’s relatives. The man's gen- erosity is amazing. It WOULD have pleased Ca- mara, we feel sure, if he might have taken his fleet around the world, penetrating the bottom of the Suez canal and starting the journey in that direction. eee THE GOVERNOR of Havana recently expressed the hope that the heavenly vault would sink and bury the United States in an abyss; but we still have hope that it won't occur. ve EVERY WAR we have had has developed some great general as a can- didate for the presidency, and he has always won, Who will be the winning warrior in nineteen hundred? woe HE ACCIDENT of the death of one man in the whipping of Cervera’s fleet should be investigated. The man should have been merely pinked, after the manner of the sufferer in a French duel. siiee CAMARA expressed a desire to “bathe the flag of Castile in the blood of her American foes.” One can easily imagine the demand in trump- et tones, when he reaches the proper point for the exercise, “Fetch on your blood.” eee THERE WOULD have been peace weeks ago if the Spanish cabinet might have been drafted into the Spanish army. One's idea of na- tional honor changes somewhat when one has to shed his own blood in a hopeless fight for it. y G., BRADFORD of Boston wants to fight every Bostonian because not a * single one of them will join him in a public meeting to protest against the war. There certainly ought to be a meeting of some kind, and G. Brad- ford ought to be invited to address it from the platform of a thin rail. THE HONORS between Sampson and Schley ought to be easy. If one hadn't done it the other would have done it; and the postscript of - the former was as important as the letter of the engagement. Still, if Sampson hadn't been there Schley would have seen to it that the flag was. HE FELT IT KEENLY. ELpery spinstex (horrified)—"* Little boy, aren't you ashamed to go in bathing in such a-public place with such a bathing-suit as that on?” SMALL bor—'* Yes'm ; but me mother makes me wear it. if you'll promise not to say nothing to her about it." » SOME CURIOUS PROTECTION. ‘THE PROPOSITION of the Herald for a Spanish-United States pro- tectorate over the Philippines adds to the suspicion that the Herald is under the influence of Spanish gold. What if, at the close of our war of the revolution, there had been proposed a British-Russian protectorate over us? When the mice win their freedom shall there be appointed a few cats to watch over and coddle them? THE SPANISH NAVY. IF CAMARA hadn't left Cadiz he would have had to blow his fleet up to save it from the infuriated populace. Those agitated persons had the idea that the purpose of war-vessels was to fight, and not to rot at their wharves after the manner of the late fleet of Cervera; whereas all the Spanish admirals know that the main duty of a fleet is to put itself on parade and then go with all possible rapidity to the bottom of the sea. TIME AS A HEALER. MEXICANS DECORATED, May thirtieth last, the graves of American soldiers who had died during the American invasion of their country; and on the fourth of July the south and the north joined in cneers for the old flag and for the victory in Cuba which was given us on that day. The whirligig of time makes ail things even. It is even possible that Spain and - Uncle Sam will some day clasp hands across the existing bloody chasm. FAIR PLAY FOR MR. BRYAN. Is IT QUITE FAIR in the-Democratic Brooklyn Zag/e to say that Mr. Bryan is in the war with political purposes in view? Almost anything that a Democratic paper may say against Mr. Bryan is evi- dence that the paper has com- mon sense and is loyal to com- mon honesty; but Mr. Bryan is a singularly frank, emotional man—too infernally frank for his reputation as a statesman— and it is possible that some of his motives, if not most of them, are as pure and as loyal to the flag as those of any less conspic- uous man. TWO DISASTERS AT SEA. FIEtY YEARS AGO the Cen- tral America, running be- tween San Francisco and New York, was burned at sea, The male passengers stood with drawn pistols in defense of the women and children on board Til take it off, though, until all were safe on a vessel : lying near by. Then the Central America went down with every man on board. The captain of the vessel was named Herndon, and he was the father of the wife of President Chester A. Arthur. Only one woman was saved from the French liner Bourgogne, and several. women and some men were murdered by Frenchmen of the crew of that doomed ship. "FRECKLES. COCCULTISM announces that the girls can get rid of freckles. They are going to sit down, we are gravely told, and think them off. It is a new theory of faith, or Christian science, and no plasters or other ap- pliances for purposes of reform through mutilation, Of course, the ques- tion arises whether girls are capable of thinking, and if so what will be the subject of the ameliorative thought. . We take a very radical view of the matter, however, and insist that the freckles shall stay. Nine pretty girls out of ten have freckles; and if our authority prevails not a girl shall sac- nfice a freckle. RIGHTS OF JURORS. RECORDER GOFF of this town grows more indignant every day over the unwillingness of the citizen to serve on juries. He evidently thinks this unwillingness is a crime. It doesn’t occur to him that it is not pleasant to neglect your own business to attend to that of somebody else; that it doesn’t pay a business man to serve others for next to nothing; that a citizen's personal liberty is a thing to be valued; and that nobody wants to be lectured like a school-boy by a judge or treated as if he were a scoundrel by a latvyer. Why not have professional jurors, and why not pay them decently for their services? comicbooks.com
