DEVIL'S ISLAND is so called, perhaps, because it belongs to France. wee AT TIMES the pain of the prince of Wales is so poignant that it knee- caps the climax. T OUGHT to be remembered occasionally that, after all, Mr. Alger isn’t himself running for office. eee A NEW ACCOUNT of the retreat from Moscow unaccountably omits all censure or mention of Secretary Alger. DAM had a good deal of territory after leaving the garden, and it is a fine precedent that he never gave up a foot of it. WE HAVE yet to learn that any English politicians propose to give Khartoum and Omdurman back to the dervishes. eae THE ASHES of Columbus belong to the United States, We won them, and have the right to weep over them whenever we want to shed some tears, THE POWERS of Europe want the Philippines, and may be willing to fight for them. We must keep the Philippines in order to preserve the peace. x soe E FEEL convinced that some of the suffering in our armies was due to the prohibition of pie. Let the authorities put that in their mean old pipes also. [7 OUGHT to strike the young man Aguinaldo as ridiculous that in appealing to the powers he omitted the only power that had anything whatever to do with it [N ABOUT a thousand years the natives of Cuba can create a proper kind of government, and meanwhile the United States have a respon- sibility that cannot be unloaded. THERE ARE PERSONS who think that Joseph W. Bailey's absence of swallow-tail ought to be supplied with a strait-jacket, and the Dem- ocrats of Texas are not a few of them. VICTORIA believes she is constantly guided by the spirit of Prince Albert. It is a comforting reflection, but the spirit seems to be remiss sometimes in his guidance of his oldest son. THE DEMOCRATS of New Hampshire repudiated {ree silver in con- vention after a hard fight. Poor fellows! They never had a victory, and now they have lost all their party friends. THE EDITOR of the Humboldt (Kansas) Herald says, “The joy in a sweet wife is too great to be described—too sacred to be spoken of ”; and the curious part of it is that he is speaking of his own wife, too. WANTED PLENTY OF ROOM. Passencer—"' I'm not a bad fellow, but you want to give me a wide berth.” TRIAL BY NEWSPAPER. It WAS a brief war, without a defeat and with many victories; but the Newspapers are so incensed against,some of the civil authorities that they propose to have them arrested and hanged. Yet it was not the news- papers that did all the fighting and won all the victories. UNAVOIDABLY POSTPONED. RANCE WILL NOT disarm until she gets back Alsace-Lorraine. There is a precedent for you. England will perhaps not disarm until she gets back the United ‘States of America; and Spain will postpone her disarmament until she gets back Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, THE VOTERS. WE IMAGINE that however much the various leaders of the parties in the different states insist on the discussion of home or national interests the people will insist on covering the entire ground. They have a habit of doing their own thinking, and are not confined to campaign documents for the acquirement of information. 2 HONOR. ATRED OF A RACE made a forger of a French soldier, and sol- dierly honor made him confess the crime. Just how valuable that kind of honor is let the world say. It reminds one of the Spanish honor that sacrifices hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians rather than confess an accomplished defeat. Are justice and life such contemptible things in comparison with honor? THE RANKEST INJUSTICE. T IS EXASPERATING to think of the good treatment of those Span- iards whom we captured in compari- son with the sufferings of our boys in camp and on the way home. They were well fed and returned home in comfortable ships, while our. soldiers suffered the tortures of deprivation and in many cases of sickness that might have been prevented. Time is too + short to even up a malignant situation like that. ANOTHER UNEASY HEAD. ‘THE NEW QUEEN of Holland will succeed well with the government of which she is the head if, like the other queens, she will kindly consent to have nothing to do with it. It is much in her favor that she insists on the choice of her own husband; but liberty to a queen is always dangerous, and her personal desires are less likely to be respected by her numerous gov- ernors than those of any unimportant woman. LET US POSSESS OUR OWN SOULS. ‘THE DEMOCRATS, engineered by Cleveland and Bryan, are sternly opposed to the imiperial idea; but we hope they won't insist on the giving up of such Spanish colors and smaller valuables as we have won, There is such a thing as being too infernally generous. Let us at least hang on to our original territory and not listen to the mugwump voice which prays us to ask for annexation to our Spanish adversaries, THE NEXT NATIONAL CONTEST. THE SILVER MEN of the Democratic party are in the saddle and will stay there. They have the organization and the wigwam, and they are persistent arid determined. News from every Democratic convention shows that Bryan and free silver are in the hearts of all the populists and a vast majority of the older party. The war is over and the next national fight will be on the lines of ‘ninety-six. What are the gold Democrats going to do? WHY WE SHOULD ANNEX. HENRY WATTERSON wants to annex Cuba and Porto Rico as states mainly for the purpose of giving offices to Democrats. He picks out Bryan for a senator from Cuba, Blackburn for a senator from Porto Rico, and Altgeld for a senator from Hawaii, and will presently begin to engi- neer the fourteen hundred islands of the Philippines in behalf of offices for that number of other Democrats. This man is always generous, though at times a little hasty. comicbooks.com
