T. Barnum, who is soon to take her third husband, will presently revive the old placard in behalf of men who want to marry, “ Wait for me—I am coming.” GOMEZ and his followers, who refuse to disband until they receive their salaries, evidently look upon salaries as bribes. When were they enlisted in the service of this government? [TSA POOR RULE that doesn’t work both ways; and if there is erit- icism of the president for wearing a confederate badge it is well to reflect that Lee and Wheeler wear the union blue, with its buttons all over them. tees A BLACK EVANGELIST five years old has turned up in New Jersey, and says he began to sin at the age of three years. We hope the precocious young thing doesn’t“mean to brag over it, after the manner of older evangelists. NONE of the rainiest days of last month two-thirds of the rainy-day club appeared at a regular meeting in long skirts, and when rebuked responded with a look of intense surprise. They thought that the whole business of the club was to pass resolutions and have annual elections. “Ah, sweet child! here is ten cents for you, Now tell me, dearie ; Livtie ETHei—" Why, ‘cause when I said the same thing to Mr. Blinker and Mr, Dinker THE ANGEL QUESTION. NGELS,” says the Kansas city Journal, “are made up of fat little rascals about two years old, dressed in pale-blue wings.” We call for Dr. Talmage’s opinion, or rather his accurate knowledge, on this sub- ject. He knows more about heaven than anybody who has never been there. THE WICKED QUOTE SCRIPTURE. BRIGHAM ROBERTS, mormon congressman-elect, looks back to Abraham, Solomon and Jacob in defense of his polygamy, and says they went to glory when they died. We were afraid Roberts would do that thing; but the laws of the United States are as sacred as if he hadn't, and polygamy is a kind of expansion that must be got under. CRITICISM BY PICTURE. A CARICATURE is a compliment. If the German emperor knew that, as the czar does, how much happier and greater a man he would be. No man broad enough to be national has a right to escape caricature. If his vanity and his littleness protest he is a light-weight in too large a field, and he can be happy only by getting out of it and into a peck-measure. NO BOUNTY FOR CONFEDERATES. ENATOR BUTLER of South Carolina wants the confederate veter- ans pensioned, too; but there is a great outery from the south against the proposition. Some of the veterans have cried out against it, and the Courier-Journal says, with a good deal of authority, that they do not want any such bounty. The independence of the old boys is almost as gratifying as Senator Butler is foolish. A FIGHT FOR THE WIGWAM. THE COURAG MR. CROKER declaring against Bryan- ism and in favor of ex- pansion and sound money ought to be good for those Democrats who have equally sound views but have been afraid to utter them, Let those Demo- crats get together and de- clare that they possess their own convictions and their own souls. ‘They can beat Bryan in the na- tional convention if they will; but they will have to fight for their victory from now on, ONLY HALF JUS- TICE. MBs: BOTKIN of San Francisco, who was enamored of a man, sent the man’s wife, three thou- sand miles away, a box of poisoned candies, and the : wife ate them and died; and now Mrs. Botkin is in the penitentiary and is going to stay there for life. At first glance this seems like swift and very gratifying justic the man in the case, as shown by his own evidence, was thoroughly bad in his relations with Botkin, and he gets off without punishment. Wz A BUSINESS ENTERPRISE. ly sister May loves you very dearly, Mr. Softhead.”” THE SUPERFLUOUS CUT-THROAT. FIFTY-NINE MURDERERS are in the penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, under sentence of death. The law provides that convicted murderers shall stay in prison one year and that then the governor may set a day for execution; but no governor has yet been found who is will- ing to exercise that authority. There was once a memorable case of lynching at Cincinnati under similar circumstances. Either that precedent must be followed or the penitentiary must be greatly enlarged. PANAMA AND NICARAGUA. USSIA FAVORS the Panama canal, and thinks the canal should be built under French control. She says that England and Japan are ready to join the United States in the Nicaraguan enterprise, and Russia must do something to protect her trade in China and Corea. The Pan- ama canal nearly upset the government of France some time ago, but the French child doesn’t dread any kind of conflagration; and we guess the United States will adopt the Nicaraguan enterprise without the aid of England or any other country, . comicbooks.com
