COLUMBUS was the original expansionist, and who cates for Colum- bus now? SENATOR HILL may be for expansion, but the trouble is that Richard Croker first proposed it. THE FILIPINOS are respect- fully informed that it is an important principle in civilization to stay licked. HE BOSTON MOVE- MENT against the annex- ation of the Philippines is run- ning away from itself with great rapidity. AN INCREASE in the sala- ries of the Tammany office- holders gives ground for the claim that Mr. Croker was the advance-agent of prosperity. F THE FOREFATHERS .who landed on Plymouth rock had insisted on the sacred- ness of precedent they would never have made the journey. THE MAN in Dutchess county who married two school- teachers went to the wrong par- ties to get his education. They should have taught him how to skoot. AN tip dat he'll be de champion.” JOHN SHERMAN referred to Aguinaldo as the George Washington of the Philippines, and we certainly know that the young man has dug up his little hatchet. WORKING GIRL in Binghamton was sent to jail twenty-five days for scorching. ‘There ought to be a hot time for the magistrate who perpetrated this monstrous injustice. THE GIRL in Pousville who hugged her grandmother so hard as to break her ribs ought to have known better. Old ladies were never intended as substitutes for that kind of business. NO LAW-BREAKER with three wives must be permitted to make laws for the people of this country. He ought to be satisfied if he is allowed outside the walls of the penitentiary. WE ARE TOLD that a woman's skull brings only a dollar and a half, while a man’s brings two dollars. The only rational explanation of this is, of course, that the purchasers are numskulls. ere SARA BERNHARDT climbed Vesuvius and scorched her eyebrows. and would have gone into the abyss had not her manager pulled her back. She ought to have known better. No woman can put out such a fire as that by spitting on it. AVOWED FOREGONE CONCLUSION. Puctuist STaRKeY—"' Say! if dis kid grows up an’ goes inter de ring, an’ kin give his opponent as much trouble puttin’ him ter sleep as he's givin’ me, it’s a straight TRUST AGAINST TRUST. PINGREE wants to run for president on a platform opposed to trusts. Bryan and Altgeld are also eloquent against trusts. Let the anti- trust men pool their issues and they may get up a trust bigger than all the others put together. ALL IN GOOD TIME. A CANADIAN PAPER sounds the warning that this government wants to absorb Canada, and adds its belief that England would be glad to swap Canada in behalf of an international alliance, Possibly; but Canadians really must not cross the dividing-line till they get to it. PROTECTION BY GOVERNMENT. S THIS GOVERNMENT responsible to Spain for the Spanish prison- ers in the hands of Aguinaldo’s insurgents? The millions given for the Philippines constituted a bargain in which the rights of the people were undoubtedly involved, including their hberty and safety. Government means protection, Must not the Filipinos be protected against them- selves? POPULARITY OF THE SNIFF. SOMEBODY inquires why itis that so many dramas and so many nov- cls are made to end disastrously and why people continue to patronize them. There is no rational explanation outside of the melancholy that attends illness. Doubtless epidemics like the grip are great helps to this kind of Iterature. Nothing makes one so appreciative of the ills of others as the fact that he doesn't feel pretty well himself. A HURRAH TICKET. ME-WATTERSON wants the Democrats to run Dewey for president and Fitzhugh Lee for vice-president, the candidates to occupy no platform whatever. There is certainly wisdom in the last half of the proposition, for the Democratic party cannot make a platform without pro- nouncing its defeat in advance. And besides, is Admiral Dewey anxious to commit suicide in such a foolish way as that? MAY HASTEN THE PRIVILEGE. GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT proposed in his message the gradual extension of the suf- frage to women; and now the pro- suffrage and anti-suffrage women are in arms, prepared to fight to the end of the vocabulary for and against the proposition. In this oratorical contest it is just possible that the antis will show the capability of women for pol- ities to such an extent that it can no longer be postponed. DEMOCRACY OUT WEST. JACKSON DINNER in Omaha had as guests of honor William Sul- zer and John P, Altgeld, and their speeches were loudly applauded. Mr. Croker's appeal for common sense within his party comes rather late, but it may do some good in the east. It is manifestly too late so far as the southern and western portions of the party are concerned. They are wedded to their idiocy and will stick to it to the last ditch. THE BUTCHER. ENERAL WEYLER is giving banquets in Madrid, and expresses an ardent desire to reform the army and navy of his country. The con- dition of Spain must be very low when such a man can have a reasonable hope of political recognition; and yet among his guests at one banquet were fourteen generals, one admiral, and other officers. However, officials of this kind do not count as high as they did before the war. NO ESCAPE FOR TROUBLE, HE PASTOR of a Baptist church in New Jersey has resigned because of the anger of the women of his flock over the baptizing of a colored man in the pool used for such purposes by the whites. This world is composed two-thirds of water. There is more of that beverage than of all the others put together. It might have been easy for the colored man to avoid raising a question of this kind by getting baptized somewhere else, and if he had been possessed of the proper Christian spirit he would have done so. comicbooks.com
