The moral is plain—do not fine a man twenty-five dollars for swearing. ‘THE DEMOCRATS of Ohio have voted in convention for another term for William McKinley; that is to say, they indorse William J. Bryan, the Chicago platform, and the policy of giving up everything we have won by war. A CONVENTION of ex-confederates at Atlanta, Georgia, urged that the term “war of the rebellion’ be dropped and the term “civil war between the states” substituted. Anything the dear boys want shall be theirs, even to the admission that there wasn’t any war at all. “HOME, SWEET HOME.” BILLY (the matcot of the Seventy: first regiment, as he finished the first of a three-sheet poster)—"* Thank heaven! home again from them blamed Spanish trenches. PROPHECY. GENERAL WHEELER told Roosevelt some time ago that he would yet be president of the United States. Possibly he will be known some day, outside of his other greatness, as the man who first nominated that distinguished young man. There is already, in Chicago, a Roosevelt club whose purpose it is to make Roosevelt president in 1904. WHOM WE SHALL WORSHIP. HE PRINCE OF WALES will visit us, “Stand steady!" exclaims the Rochester Democrat, evidently fearing that we shall all go into hysterics over that high honor, But the Democrat need not fear. We have new military and naval heroes enough to enchain our emotions for long time to come, and in comparison with them impending kings are of small account. WE AND OUR FRIENDS. PEAKING OF AGUINALDO, the Corning Journal puts a column in a sentence with the remark, “We stand by our friends; our friends are those who stand by us.” That is reciprocity in its loftiest meaning; and let us hope that Gomez and his followers, as well as Aguinaldo and his, will learn just exactly what it means. United we stand; if there are any insurgents who do not care to unite with us, they don’t, THE JUDGMENT OF A FOOL. Ape IGNORANCE that induces the London Saturday Review to call Chauncey M: Depew a snob and a puppet, a babbling raconteur, a distributor of twaddle and a painted puppy is unpardonable. The writer who does it is a fool, and if the fool were to be answered accord- ing to his folly there wouldn't be a man in the United States who wouldn't be glad to warm his cheek -with the palm of his hand. THE WOMAN IN WAR. THE WOMEN of this country have established their right to be first in war as well as first in peace. Their services during the late unpleasantness in camp and field saved many a life and a great deal of suffering. They were far more adapted to the emergencies of war than the men who were paid to attend to them, and who at first treated their offers of help with contempt. Let Mrs, Stanton and Miss Anthony rejoice. Our women will have all their rights before many years; and the longest way around is sometimes the shortest way home. PITCH IN! ‘THERE MUST be some good points about Alger. Everybody is pitch- ing into him for his failure to provide for the soldiers, for his appoint- ment of friends to military positions, and for his politics in war. It is much to have got up an army and fought out a war within four months, but it is so strange that everything and everybody were not perfectly equipped within five minutes! Alger says he has done the best he could, and there is no doubt of it; but give him fits just the same. And when you are done with him pitch into Shafter again, though he certainly did win San- tiago and with very small loss of life. Home, where I’m sure of havin’ a good square FUSS AND FEATHERS. AN EMINENT AUTHORITY says we ought to have a standing army of one hundred and fifty thousand men. ‘That would be imperialism indeed. Whatever the peace results of this war, it would be a misfortune to have that expensive show and parade fastened upon us year by year. There is no necessity for it, and it smacks too much of the foreign systems which ignore the tax-payer in behalf of the soldier. We can get up a larger army within a brief space of time than any other nation, and the delays for discipline and organization would be less expensive and destruc- tive than a continual army tax and an utterly useless continual display of military power. comicbooks!com
