Perhaps that accounts for it. GOVERNOR BLACK thinks, for his part, that T. C. Platt is a rough rider his very self. 4 6 TTHE PASSING of Roosevelt" is discussed by a contemporary. Mis- take. He hasn't passed, They've or- dered him up. eee THRE LATE Demo- cratic convention in this state must have been harmonious, be- cause not a man of it was killed. see ‘0 GOVERNOR BLACK—Re- member, dear sir, that there are as many good fish in the political sea as have ever been pull- ed out of it. cee THERE OUGHT to be a peace com- mission in behalf of a respectable funeral for Democratic leaders of this state who are try- ing to kill one another. THE SPANIARDS looked upon Roosevelt as a rough rider; and what will the Democratic candidate think when the young man gets through with him ? THE COURAGE of Theodore Roosevelt at San Juan has never been questioned; and as to the newspaper- and magazine-writers he car- ries every one of them by a large majority. HE YOUNG WOMAN of this town who committed suicide because she couldn't find her ideal man for a husband should have searched further. We can’t be in eight or ten places at once. THE PROPOSITION of many women of Ohio to have the word “ obey” omitted from the marriage service contemplates only half a reform. The word should not be omitted, but transferred to the man’s side of the transaction. ASHINGTON SPOKE for three million people when he spoke against expansion. These people have so expanded that they num- ber seventy million, and they,can’t clothe themselves with the same ideas or the same garments. ‘THE SILVER MEN of the Democracy of this state have a right to revolt. They have a large majority over the sound-money men of the party, and the majority ought to rule. The tail must not wag the donkey. The donkey must wag the tail. HIS IDEA OF IT. Woonsy Hunter (sighting along his dog's tail)—"* Yawse, bah Jove’ my pointer is pointing all right; but, demmit! what is he pointing at? I'll be hanged if I can see any game back there.” MURDEROUS MALICE. THE BRITISH CONSUL at Havana, who was given charge of Ameri- can interests if that town, was hated by the local Spaniards and found it difficult to buy the necessaries of life. In consequence his wife died, and hundreds of Americans were unnecessarily made to suffer. It might be well to omit the Maine long enough to thoroughly remember that. THE GENTLER WAY OF ROBBERY. THE FAMILY QUARREL in the palace at Peking may have to be set- tled by the intercession of Russia and England, and that would mean war between those powers. Perhaps a peace congress would be better, the powers quietly making their selections of the territory of the empire, meanwhile letting the dowager empress and the emperor scratch out each other's eyes strictly in private. DIAMONDS FOR SPITE. ‘HERE IS A NEW FAD. It is to put a brooch of diamonds at the back to hold the bodice together; and we are told that it is so popu- lar that women whose bodices fasten at the front have adopted it. The deceptiveness of woman is thus emphasized. Of course, only women see those brooches anyhow, and in both cases they are worn simply as a mat- ter of spite to those who have that privilege. THE BIGGEST BLUFFER. DON CARLOS may go to the head of the Spanish nation through revo- lution, but his talk shows that he is even more ignorant of American resources than the existing gov- ernment. His speedy failure would be inev- itable, and then anoth- er revolution might cost him his head and remove the frothiest and most puerile of all the pretenders. So that one good thing might come to the Spaniards through the war, anyhow. SAFETY IN war. LITTLE WAR just. now might save France from the danger which threatens her as a result of the Dreyfus matter. It should’ be a very little war, however; not one that would come from interference in the Philip- pines, or with General Kitchener in the Soudan. As much of the army as possible ought to get out of the country, not to say out of the world— and why not a struggle with the mountains of the moon? A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. WE CANNOT give the Philippine islands back to Spain. That would be shameful. It would be unfair to ourselves, to the inhabitants of the islands and to the fighting men who won the victory. And we can- not leave the islands to government by revolution. That would be more shameful yet. The responsibility of success, as the Republican platform of this state suggests, is not to be shirked. Those islands are under our control, and there they must remain long enough, at least, to give their people the protection of a strong and humane system of government. THE CONVIVIAL SOJOURNER. se THERE IS MORE DRINK consumed in temperance hotels than elsewhere,” testified the keeper ot one of those institutions in mak- ing application for a license. “Where shall the abstainers go?” said the lawyer opposing the application. “There are no abstainers,” was the reply, with emphasis, This seems to be a sweeping statement, but the truth is that all travelers are apt to be ill. It is a natural effect of getting away from home, and nothing can put a stop to it. But it is well to re- member the wisdom of Artemus Ward. “I never ask for a drink at a temperance hotel,” said he; “‘they sell such poor liquor there,”” comicbooks.com
