THE HARMONY between Hill and Croker is loaded and is likely to go, off at any moment. eee THE SCARCITY of grand old men promises to be considerably filled by Joseph Wheeler. fants BLANCO would have fought to the last ditch if his government hadn't given it up to the enemy. o 8 R, CURZON married a Chi- cago girl a few months ago, and now he is going to be vice- roy of India: eee HE OHIO MAN in politics is excessively numerous, but he shows that he is just the man for whatever place he occupies. eee ECRETARY LONG of the navy belongs to a peace so- ciety, but-when war is unavoid- able he fights like a rough rider. eee KAIULANI, who is to marry the son of our ex-mayor, apparently loves but little here below, but loves that little Strong. o. EACE HAS SPOILED a good many impending American victories, and to the boys who would have won them it comes hard. eee ‘THE QUESTIONS arising in Manila bay were settled wisely and promptly by Dewey. Is he not a statesman as well as an admiral? eee GENATOR MASON dido’t do any fighting, but his courage is demon- strated by the fact that he recently umpired a base-ball game in Chicago. eee CERTAIN JOCKEY gets twenty-five thousand dollars for riding horses a portion of this season, and yet there are people who still complain of hard times. eas g X-GOVERNOR FLOWER isa gold Democrat and is not afraid to say it. There is no room on the Democratic ticket for an honest, courageous man of that kind. NOBODY OBJECTS to John Hay for secretary of state, Indeed, there is a fair prospect that there will be the usual proceedings when this Johnny comes marching home. LEV! Z. LEITER was not responsible for his son’s debts, but he has paid out ten thousand dollars for their liquidation, Now make a note of the fact that Mr. Leiter is a Jew. WHILE MRS. STANTON was enthusing at a women’s convention over the progress made by women, the lower house of the Massa- chusetts legislature was able to command only twenty-nine votes in behalf of woman-suffrage. Facts like that make the heart ache and the tongue falter. A THEORY AS’ TO THE ORIGIN OF THE BICYCLE-FACE AND HUMP, WRONG KIND OF WOOD. ‘A BASSWOOD INDIAN, thinks the Rochester Post-Express, would be as good a man in the senate as Edward Murphy has been. Un- doubtedly; but we must remember that Indians of that kind are not eli- gible to the position. WHAT! LET US ALL SLEEP with one eye open. Otherwise those dear, splen- did Canadians will annex us some dark night and we shall awake to find ourselves under the dear old, splendid British flag. The feeling for that consummation is quite prevalent in both England and Canada; and it is hard work to make that kind of revolution go the other way. FAIR PLAY FOR STATESMEN. Te SALARIES of cabinet officers must be increased or only rich men can afford to occupy those high places. When so excellent a man as Mr. Day steps out of the first cabinet position for that reason the necessity for a stop to stinginess becomes great. Give the poor man a chance for honors without the penalty of having to rob himself. The American peo- ple are as generous as they are rich. THE UNHAPPY DISCOVERERS. SPANIARDS ARE SAID to think that Columbus was not a benefactor of Spain but her evil genius, and a leading paper objects strongly to the removal of his ashes from Havana to Spain. The ingratitude of mon- archies is as pronounced as that of republics. Were Christopher to be resurrected about this time Spain would doubtless crave the privi- lege of loading him with chains again, and bringing him home for further disgrace. HER BELATED WISDOM. THE PRIDE that travels with poverty is small and unscru- pulous. Had Spain had more regard for her soldiers and less for her pomposity the lives of hundreds of thousands might have been saved, along with mill- ions of money. To gratify this pride, proclaimed in the loftiest thetoric, her ships are gone, her colonies are lost, and her humil- iation is complete. A little wis- dom would have saved her most of these sacrifices. She is wiser now, but it is too late. THE COMING PRESI- DENT? DEWEY GAVE the preface to the war, and fate select- ed him to finish it. A good many splendid figures have come out of the smoke, but-his appeared in the beginning and is more conspicuous than any other at the end. It is too early to say what the American voters will do with that man, but after a second term of McKinley who is so likely as he to be called to the head of the government? It is true that Tam- many has adopted him, but let us bear in mind that Tammany also adopted Grant. IS SUCCESS HAPPINESS? BISMARCK calculated that all of the happy moments of his life if put together would not amount to twenty-four hours. When so great a life as that is So barren of the most profitable reward of life the question as to whether life is worth living may be revived. But happiness is a mat- ter of temperament rather than circumstances. The triumphs of Teddy Roosevelt are worth having, and it is quite certain that the gallant colonel knows not only how to win them but how to enjoy them. Indeed, we dare say he enjoys them even more than Brother Platt does. HARMONY WITH A CLUB. THE DEMOCRATS of this state are in a condition of utter hush. ‘The silver men are determined to push their idiocy, and as the war is ended their opportunity is not so bad; but the wiser men of the party insist that they shall not opén their cavernous mouths except on state issues, The harmony of the leaders is proclaimed early and often, but the organs of Croker and Hill are attacking those persons with a personal bitterness that means nothing less than a purpose to annihilate. Above the tumult rises the cry of “ Hush,” but the fighting goes right on. comicbooks.com
