It 1S GOOD to reflect that Spain will send no more sol- diers over here, it costs so much FOREVER? ; THis GOVERNMENT must have enough authority in the Philippines to settle her impending system of government. After that it must. have enough authority to see that the system works justly and profitably, ‘When it will be possible to let the country alone, or to let Cuba alone, if ever, can be settled only by time, and possibly time so long that it will be world without end. NOT SO FAST. A WHISPER of peace, thinks Sagasta, should be followed by a cessa- tion of hostilities. As in the fairy-stories, the armies and navies should immediately go to sleep, to be awakened only by the messenger of peace, or more likely by the going off of Spanish guns. Oh, no; that is going too fast. Had the whisper come before war did things would have been different; but there was a long and a bloody delay. THE COST OF IGNORANCE. HE BEST of all the talk of this war is the talk of peace; but it takes a long time to reach that contlusion whether our soldiers are quies- cent meanwhile or not. It is easier to get into a scrape than to get out of it. It is a great thing, just the same, to have taught the Spanish just ‘what the strength of this government is, though only the most brutal of all ignorance could have closed VLb their ears to that valuable in- formation. no TRvit to send the survivors back. sae BUMBARICKRL|Z, DRESS, LOGIC AND THE WHEEL. IX SAYING that he is not ashamed of anything he has said Professor Norton shows conclusively that he is still that kind of man. ar JESSIE SCHLEY has at least made a name for herself by her efforts for peace; but if any- body asks us what there is in a name we shall not say a word. sheire WHILE IT MAY be true that the emperor didn’t weep over the death of Bis- marck, he shed two genuine kisses on the cheeks of his son Herbert. oe SAGASTA frequently remarks that Spain is perfectly calm. At first glance that seems to be a foolish lie; but perhaps she has been metaphorically put to sleep. eee [= IS A MIGHTY good re- mark of somebody that Shaf- ter won like a Sherman and Miles praised him like a Grant. There are no small jealousies between big soldiers. cee THE PROBABILITY that Kansas will raise forty thousand more bush- els of wheat this year than last probably increases Colonel Bryan's desire to be at the very frontest front. seTHE ONLY THING we can do now,” says Dupuy de Lome, speak- ing for Spain, “is to repent and reform.” Such things are quite possible, even to Spain, when she can't do anything else. ‘THE EXPULSION of Zola from the legion of honor indicates that that body is rather a legion of corrupt men; and it can less afford to be without Zola than he can afford to have anything to do with it. A MAN in Lockport who wouldn't let his wife read a Sunday paper has just been shown to be a bigamist. Search most of the men who cry out against the Sunday press and you'll find something of that kind in their vest-pockets. THEY TOUCHED ‘THE SPOT. . BuMBERNICKEL (joy/ully)—"*Ach, himmel! dis is fine. I dell you dese furnace- ET US REMEMBER, in ‘D¥Wers’ vasa gread ting for a man mit ideas like mine.” quoting the remark of a medical authority that coffee does more damage than whisky, that whisky is generally prepared by experts and coffee isn't. It IS ORDERED by a police authority in this town that no woman with short skirts shall be permitted on the streets of the town unless accompanied by a wheel, or at least a tag signi- fying that she owns one. What impudence is this! Any decent woman is a judge of those things better than forty police author- ities, and decent women have rights that the police are bound to respect. And if a woman does ride a wheel can she be al- lowed to go around half naked? NOT THAT! WHATEVER THE CON- CLUSION regarding the Philippines, this is certain—they must not pass back into the hands of Spain. Whatever the trouble with Aguinaldo, a recog- nition of the partial authority of his followers, under the direction of the United States, furnishes the only solution of a difficult problem. To let the Spanish re- sume authority there, after the s “tremendous cost of conquering them by Dewey and Merritt, would be the rankest injustice and an iniquitous farce, THE GRANDEST ARMY. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER, according to the London Saturday Re- view, whipped his English cousin “ because he shot markedly better and won astonishing victories.” We could have sworn that that was the very reason; but, beyond that, he is generally a volunteer and fights as he prays. ,We have the grandest standing army in the world for the reason that every citizen is a soldier and ready to act whenever patriotism calls. And he supports himself, at the same time that he contributes money to the expenses of the government. THE PRIDE OF HELPLESSNESS. HE CUBAN SOLDIERS refuse to work, saying they are soldiers, not laborers, That kind of pride is the more absurd in view of their rags and their dependence on this government for food. The American soldier is infinitely better off, but he is not too proud to throw up the intrenchy ments and build the bridges necessary to his own safety; and so of the soldiers of every other government. It is a pity that these men, whose suf- ferings have won the sympathy of the world, should prove themselves to be little better for any practical purposes than so many overgrown children. comiebooksgom
