HE ELECTION in Pennsylva- nia—Swallow and Jenks asked for bread and Matthew Stanley gave them a Stone. RANGE HOW FOND a nation of peace is of military men for its” higher offices. vee [8 WILMINGTON, North Caro- lina, the freedom of the press has been abolished in behalf of the freedom of the shotgun. . COLONEL ROOSEVELT says that as governor he will be perfectly honest, and we certainly know that he knows how. [7 MUST. be chronicled that though Mr. Zangwill went through the Chicago stock-yards he is as much of a Hebrew as ever. 1% RETIRING to Medicine Lodge and declaring that he will not enter politics again Jerry Simpson shows at least that he knows how to take his vermifuge. ‘THE CHRYSANTHEMUM may be tolerated because it is the only flower of its season; but if the big sunflower were its rival it would stand a chance of being elected by a large majority. WHAT H Frozen FLANNERY—"'I wunst sued a feller fer ten thousand dollars fer defamation uv character an’ de jury gave me thirty.” Frosty FAGIN—" Dollars?" Frozen FLANNERY—" No; days.” WHEN OUR WOMEN yearn for war let them consider for a moment the women of the Paris commune and the squaws of our far west. No tiger or hyena was ever more cruel than they. A MAN intended to donate five thousand dollars to a Wisconsin college. but changed his mind after witnessing a game of foot-ball. fellow! Evidently bet the money on the wrong team. Poor ‘THE PRAYER of Blanco that heaven will punish the United States is not unnatural. The Spaniards having failed to effect that consum- mation, there is no other power that is equal to the emergency. THE BULL-FIGHT will remain in that Spanish territory which has been won by the Americans, It has been sufficiently demonstrated that Spaniards are obliged to do their fighting mostly by substitute. A WIFE in St. Louis has been sued for divorce because she prays too early and often and fills her apartments with men and women who do the same thing. Divorces are not granted for that cause, we think; and what shall the poor man do to be saved? ESCAPE FROM A LUNATIC. ‘THE NEBRASKA GIRL who was jilted at the altar because her young man caught the odor of cigarettes in her breath had a narrow escape. If she had married the lunatic he would have reformed her to death in short order. Let her come east and pick out a gentleman. IN THE NICK OF TIME. R. HEARST of the Journa/ of this town is entitled to the thanks of all Republicans for his frankness in saying just before election that a victory for the Democratic party in this state would be a victory for free silver. It was the truth; and a word in season how good it is! ROBBERY AND RETRIBUTION. A CHICAGO WOMAN stole her husband's trousers, with three thou- sand dollars in the pockets of the same, and ran away.” Whatever the propriety of the woman wearing the breeches, it is a good point in law that she mustn’t wear his fortune also, and her subsequent arrest was a triumph of virtue over which all good citizens must rejoice. : BUT IT IS THEIR RIGHT. 'HE WOMEN voted in Utah and Colorado. The head of the success- ful ticket in Utah is a silverite and a polygamist; and in Colorado the silverites made a clean sweep. Is it possible that the women of these two states knew whom and what they were voting for? And is there anything more absurd than the woman who votes and talks politics? HARD ON. THE COL- ONELS. OVERNOR CHANDLER of Georgia has reduced the num- ber of colonels on his military staff from one hundred and four to thir- ty-six. As members of the staff get a uniform, two hundred dollars in cash and the title of colonel for life, the outcry against the change is loud and earnest ; but the reform ought to be more emphatic, for what is the good of a staff anyhow? The president manages to get along without one even in time of war. ANOTHER REVOLUTION? E BENJAMIN ANDREWS, su- * perintendent of the public schools of Chicago, insists that the lady teachers within his jurisdiction shall not wear bicycle costumes dur- ing school hours, and the ladies say they will. Possibly we are on the brink of a new kind of revolution; but as the ladies claim the right to wear the costume as high as the knees there ought to be room enough for a compromise that will bring peace as well as a free move- ment and good health. E GOT. FREE SILVER MUST GO. T A BANQUET of gold Democrats in Chicago recently it was de- clared that the money question is the great issue of the country, and must remain so until the silver'and other cranks are thoroughly whip- ped. The courage of this utterance is in fine contrast with the cowardice of ignoring the money issue that prevailed in this and some other states at the recent election. Despite a few slight reverses the silver men are stronger to-day than they ever were before, and the battle must be fought out at the next national election. MR. CROKER’S PARTY OPPONENTS. Under Tammany domination the Democratic party in this state is in a hopeless state. ‘The mere suspicion of possible Tammany domination of van Wyck turned what was almost a certain victory intoa defeat. In looking at this fact it will not be inappropriate for Demo- rats to remember that the Democrats have carried the state when Tammany was excluded bodily from the state convention. HAT IS STRANGE TALK to come from so old and so able a Dem- cratic newspaper as the Utica Odserver; but ft is the talk of nine out of ten of the up-state Democratic journals. Undoubtedly all of them are friendly to Governor Hill; and the consummation of a new Democratic party—and, let us hope, a sound-money party —would be merely a repe- tition of some very lively Democratic history. comicbooks.com
