TOM PLATT evidently is not quite as Black’ as he has been painted. TH E PEACE ARTICLES are a total failure so far as Miles and Alger are concerned. THE EFFORTS of Spain for peace are as combative as if she contem- plated another war. H \ FIGHTING is to be done the Cuban is a workman, and when work is to be done the Cuban is a soldier. HETHER ALGER intended to super- sede Shafter is a small matter in comparison with the fact that he didn’t Jo it. THEY TELL of aman who makes a living by swindling servant-girls. Now we do hope there hasn't been a resurrection of the old fenian organi- zation. ars W HEN ACTOR RADCLIFFE got out of prison he said, “I feel out of sight”; and it is a fact that he was in that condition exactly six moathe’ the farmer going and that sparkling spring ! o. Weary WILLIE (overAcaring)—"* Yes, ladies; it reminds me uv dat sayin’ in Shakespeare, * To what base uses do we come at last.’ Alas, poor old keg! enny such service as dat is little short uv sacrilege.” [T_18 URGED by the Chicago Times-Herald that John Hay’s “Jim Bludso” and “Little Breeches” be forgotten. They are too, miserably bad. Alas, that is impossible. W'TH A RESUMPTION of Spanish power in the Philippines the old revolutions would unavoidably be resumed. Can this government afford to invite that slaughter? WE MUST NOT say we have “ whipped" Spain, thinks George W. Smalley, because it hurts her feelings, To be sure; and really we ought to have been courteous enough to let her whip us. WEITERS for the newspapers and magazines are very bitter against General Shafier; but the fact remains that he engineered the sur- render of Santiago and did it without any unnecessary loss of life. THE NICARAGUA CANAL must be built, but no mere company must have the privilege of its ownership, ‘That enterprise belongs to the United States, and the people are willing and able to pay for it. R. BAILEY of Texas is renominated to congress, proclaiming as his platform that the people of his district have no right to an opinion as to the question of territorial expansion, ‘The trouble is that they believe in expansion and Joseph doesn’t. ext Me EOS A FELLOW-FEELING. Fain city BoArDex—' Not only unromantic, Ethel, but positively shocking / The idea of ‘potting an old empty lager-beer keg here to catch the clear cold water from THE SILENT MURPHY. SENATOR MURPHY is chided by the Democratic Brooklyn Zagle for his failure to make speeches in the senate. It is due to the gentleman to say that h¢ hasn't the gift of gab, but his silence is frequently suggest- ive and eloquent. It is also urged that he hasn't the gift of opinion; but do we not know that he voted for free silver? IN THE HENCE, CUBA will have two political parties, that of the Spanish and that of the insurgents. Perhaps some time in the far hence those opposing organizations will do their fighting with ballots instead of the machete. Meanwhile the United States will furnish a protectorate in the interest of peace, and it may become so necessary that it will be impossible to drop it. TWO IMPERIAL CUBS. +s | NSIDE HISTORY "has it that the Spaniards never expected to whip us, but went to war in order to save the throne for little Alfonso, Poor boy! How many lives were sacrificed in his interest, and what dis- *grace was voluntarily accepted by his nation and its chief representatives! Louis Napoleon went to war with Germany to get his boy on the French throne, and the result ought to be typical of all such barbarous experi- ments. MATRIMONY IN MISSOURI. Me: BUCKNER stood up to be married to Miss Reid in a church in Columbia, Missouri, when Miss Johnson interrupted the nuptials, She insisted that Buckner should not marry until he had signed a paper binding himself to make her his second wife. He did so and the cere- mony went on. This method of tardy half-jus- tice to a wronged woman cannot be recommended, but it may be better than shooting or going to law. WHAT! ANOTHER? A PAPER suggests a public holiday, to be continued year by year, in honor of our victory over Spain. Well, let it come. It has long been patent to most of us that there is too much work and too little play in this world, and perhaps it would be well to have no work at all. Why not simplify matters and have every day a holi- day, ‘with the exception of Sunday, which is necessarily more or less rest- fully adapted to other purposes? Down with work! Let us all be idle, noisy and happy. WHY NOT HAVE PEACE? ‘THE SCHEME of the czar in behalf of universal peace is pronounced utopian. | If it is, the world takes to itself eredit for barbarism. Let us laugh at this impossibility, but reflect that, after all, peace is better than war, and to the men who have to do the butchering and dying it is not pleasant. Once a Russian emperor ‘proposed ‘that the sovereigns fight out their differences between themselves. He was laughed at, and subse- quently assassinated; but from every logical point of view his method of settlement was both humane and just. T quite agree wid youse dat puttin’ it to A SUFFERING SOUL. 6 PROFESSOR NORTON feels his responsibility too much. As the manager of the larger part of the universe he is naturally sensitive, and the mistakes that are occurring every day vex his soul. It must be admitted that there is great room for improvement in this world alone, to say nothing of the others, and as a tender and humane man the professor is unable to overlook the disagreeable fact. Perhaps if he would take a smoke he would feel better; but there! the tobacco necessary to that con- summation i, like everything else, simply detestable. ra comicbooks:com
