T HE EMPEROR of China is probably alive, but not very much so, WE: BEG PARDON of the late Mr. Disraeli, but Israel Zangwill looks like him. sy ese MASSACHUSETTS is now a good state to do murder in. They have abolished hanging there. THE SPANIARDS at Paris have been divided in opinion as to whether there was a war, to say nothing of a surrender. see OLITICS IN CHINA is largely centred in the question to the emperor, "Come now! why don’t you go on with your dy- ing?” a JHE PRESIDENT makes good short speeches. He has the rare ability of Horace Greeley and Benjamin Harrison — he knows enough to stop when he gets through. eee THE BLACK SOL- THE REWARD OF VALOR, *6\VE WOMEN,” says a woman in a London newspaper, “are not allowed to express our feelings with regard to our troops.” Very well. Either England must never have another war, or every English, Scotch and Irish girl must move at once to, this country. BLUFF. ALK IN FRANCE of war with England may be necessary to peace without justice to Dreyfus. Talk of a coup d'état by some military man of whom nobody at this time knows anything whatever may be equally advisable. But what miserable bluff it is, and how utterly it would fail of its purpose in the case of any people but the French! FAIR PLAY AT HOME, ‘THE COURAGE of the Chinese on Admiral Dewey's ship was as grati- fying as it was surprising; but that is no reason why four hundred million Chinamen should be turned loose on our seventy million people, nine-tenths of whom get their living by hard work and few of whom get more than they earn, Let us have fair play for ourselves before we give China the freedom of this country in a gold box. THE RIGHTS OF LABOR. THE GOVERNOR of Illinois would prohibit the importation of labor— indeed he would make it a high crime. He assumes to champion the rights of labor, yet he would take from it the liberty of competition and fasten it within certain limits with chain and ball. We have regulated the Chinese labor business by national enactment. He would apply the ‘same law to states and counties. Where shall this sort of business stop? SOMEBODY MUST GO. THE DEMOCRAT- IC EDITORS of Kentucky are pretty nearly united in their desire that Henry Wat- terson consider himself an ex- Democrat and step down from the leading position he has held so long. Mr. Wat- terson feels as if some- body ought to go; but wants a substitute; and in a double-lead- ed, double-columned, DIER has brought somesort of equality to his ace, but no white woman has thus far put up her lips to him. Perhaps this is suggestive as to where to draw the line. ‘THE PROHIBITION ORATOR in Kentucky who was arrested for bathing in a public reservoir was a type of his kind, which is never so happy as when it is making a show of itself. CLERGYMAN with ten thousand young men back of him proposes to drive vice out of Chicago, It may be recalled that Mrs. Partington once tried to push back the Atlantic ocean with a mop; MBS. LEASE wants to raise five million dollars to reimburse young Mr. Gould for his loss in marrying the woman of his choice. Why not double the money and give the poor boy a royal pension for life? eae ALLINGTON BOOTH decrees the abolishment of the bass-drum by his volunteers. It is not wise. Lots of people who appreciate the dignity of the big drum will refuse to be saved by a little, contemptible thing like the tambourine. nee HE REPUBLICANS of Georgia joined the populists, and at the late election in that state the silver Democrats triumphed by a large ma- jority. Whichever horn of this kind of dilemma you grasp, you are sorry you didn’t clutch the other. ELECTROCUTING HIS THANKSGIVING TURKEY. Farmer Urropats—“ Now, Mirandy, you'll see how much more humane the elocution is than decap- ertation.” double-breasted article suggests that Mr. Bry- an do the retiring and leave the party’of the nation to select some- body else for president. It is a decided difference of opinion, and Mr. Wat- terson seems to be hopelessly in the minority. INTEMPERATE AMBITION. 'HE GOOD WOMEN of the temperance union proposed to erect a temple in Chicago at a cost of over a million dollars, bought the ground, and began work. It has been found that only a quarter of the amount has been raised, with no prospect of raising more, and therefore the project has been given up, with the loss of all that money. Women and mathematics never did agree; but if the union wants to resume the enterprise they will find it profitable to pass the hat around among the class frequently calld “the boys"—the most generous people in the world. MURDER AS A VIRTUE. D7 ASNUNZIO, who is called the foremostman in Italian letters, writes: . “In the tragic death of Elizabeth of Austria there is a perfection that delights and uplifts me. The swift, unerring stroke suddenly revealed to our eyes, in extraordinarily pure relief, the secret beauty of this imperial life, as the immortal statue suddenly shines forth from the stone which the blow of the brutal hammer breaks. I know hearts that have palpitated with enthusiasm on learning certain admirable details of this bloody de- parture.”” t A step further and this man would praise the murderer as the chief artist of assassination and commend him as a model for all the other assassins. He glorified the empress with his steel—he gave to the outlines of her face “the imperishable mark of style.” What a good, generous, noble man this murderer is! comicbooks.com
