HELEN GOULD dislikes the notoriety her goodness of heart has brought her; but the people have as much right to their appreciation as she has to her generosity, THE HORSE that the German emperor recently fell from was not the high kind of animal he usually rides; if it had been he wouldn't have recovered from the accident. THE YOUNG CLERGYMAN of Evansville, Wisconsin, who has been suspended for playing poker is served right.

If they are in doubt as to their duty they might refer to Zola’s letter of accusation. SELF-DEFENSE. Jack Porrer—"* Didn't I see you strike Tom Hardupp for five dollars to-day?” I thought from his actions he was going to strike me for five dollars, THE WORK OF A STATESMAN. WHITELAW REID is exactly the man for one of the peace commis. sioners. His article in the Century is able, conservative, thoughtful, judicial, and crowds more fact and good argument within a few pages than ‘most men might give in five times the space. Mr. Reid is a great editor, or in other words a Christian statesman, THE PRIVILEGE OF SUICIDE. ‘THE DECLARATION that Colonel Henry of Paris was “ permitted to take his life” is gentleness itself. It shows that France is a land of liberty, omitting for the moment a faint recollection of the colonels victim, Dreyfus. And indeed it was a magnificent privilege, for how could the colonel have reasonably continued a life which was obnoxious to all the rest of the world? THE MEANNESS OF POLITICS. ‘THE CHARGE OF POLITICS in war which is brought against Secre- tary Alger is painful; but what of the politics which is the basis of half the attacks upon him? “This will go into politics,” is the chuckling remark of every Democratic newspaper, and the sheet proceeds with its abuse of the administration from the president down. Ah, yes! there is too much of that kind of politics in this country. MURDERERS OF WOMEN. ACK OF THE MURDER of the em- press Augusta is an assumption of su- perior wisdom on the part of the man Who did it. He thinks the monarchies must be destroyed, and that his belief to that effect is better than the belief of the vast majority that law and order are best. It is the sublimity of egotism, and only vice and ig- norance can breed it, And the man is too vile to understand the cowardice of murdering a defenseless woman. WHERE SHALL IT GO? ++} {UGGING MUST GO,” declares a convention of dancing- masters, “This winter any young man who be- haves upon the ball-room floor as if he were sitting in the parlor with the lights turned down will be a subject for frowns and reprimands.” The pro- fessors are hasty. They ought to reflect that it is frequently difficult to find exactly the proper places for hugging, and we dare say they would object to turning the lights of the ball-room down. = THE NEXT WAR? THE TROUBLES IN CRETE arise from a settlement of previous dif- ficulties that it was obvious wouldn't settle. Out of that light blaze may come a conflagration between the controlling powers who have never been able to peacefully exercise a joint jurisdiction, any more than have the Turks and the Greeks. If it results in the dismemberment of Turkey there will be much progress, but that is rather too much to hope for now. If there must be further assassination, however, it would be an agreeable change for the Greeks to do a little of it themselves. A BLOW AT BRYAN. REPRESENTATIVES of two million voters, at a convention in Colo- rado, recently nominated Wharton Barker and Ignatius Donnelly for president and vice-president on a rag-money platform. The deed was done while Mr. Bryan was absent with his regiment, and may therefore be looked upon as very mean political treachery. However, Mr. Bryan needn't despair, There will doubtless be eight or ten more populistic national tickets, and it is not impossible that out of that confusion will come a Bryan fusion that will make the colonel a victim a second time. comicbooks.com
