Hibbert - AUGUSTINE WaSHINC * Praise heaben, massa N HE SPANIARDS are going to investigate the surrender of Manila and of Santia We wish they would find out who struck Mr, Will- iam Patterson, too. OURKE COCKRAN is so English since his return from Europe that he would like to whip the United States for its imperial policy of infamy, and incidentally drops his h's with great prodigality. HE STATEMENT that Germany stands firm in the Samoan business may be matter for doubt. The German consul said he stood firm, but the English and American representatives bowled him off his pins. MAN in our stock-exchange the other day wasted time enough to take adrink, and in that time his holdings, which he had wanted to sell, netted him six hundred dollars, Search for the moral in this fact, and when found send it to a prohibitionist. ENATOR MASON wants a law providing for the reading of Wash- ington’s farewell address in the public schools on every twenty-second of February hereafter. This would give George a greater and more numerous farewell than Patti ever had. WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY. ‘sa EXCESSIVE INDEPENDENCE. SENATOR HOAR wants the independence of the Philippines immedi- ately recognized. Well, they certainly are independent enough. The amount of fighting they are undergoing proves that; and with th pendence recognized there will be more of it. And at the same Senator Benton once remarked, there is such a thing as being too infernally independent. SAMOA. T 1S JUST possible for the revolutionists in Samoa to fire the shots heard round the world. This is not due to their own importance, but to the joint protectorate in behalf of peace and a stable government. The German consul at Apia is credited with a freshness almost equal to that of the kaiser, but of course that is saying too much; and re: as fresh as he was. CoLonx head and y he is not A BRAVE MAN. RSOLL is not right in calling Senator Hoar a mud- timid old granny, It takes a brave man to oppose the sentiment of nine-tenths of the American people—we can tell Colonel In- gersoll that. ‘There were lots of people wh hundred years ago, but they are all dead. and will so continue until he is bowled over. OUR MILITakY MISSIONARIES. DOCTOR ADAMS of the university of Wisconsin, speaking of the Philippines and their government by the United States, says “it is simply the beneficent substitution of republican methods for the govern ment of a people that have never known anything but the domi. nance of rapac- ity and cruelty Is not that true? Would it be pos- sible to give the Filipinos aworse government than they have had? Must not any change be an improve- ment? PROGRESS? THE, DEMO- CRATIC CLUB which is managed _prin- cipally by Mr. Croker admits women any day within the hours of ten a.m, and five p.m. This is undoubtedly a recognition of women's grow- ing power in politics, and should the privilege be largely exercised other clubs heretofore sacred to the sterner sex will follow the Croker establish- ment’s example. Thus will our political condition be improved, but what under heaven will become of the women ? IN believed with Senator Hoar a The man really stands alone, Well, Psyche, what is it?” Loe A GREAT FORCE. HE MYSTERIOUS FORCE invented by Mr. Keely was intended solely to draw money from the pockets of capitalists, and it drew some millions of dollars. The victims of Mr. Keely had a wrong idea of it; but they might have got information by an investigation of the under- ground portion of his establishment. Is it not amazing that they should have lost so much money when a few hours of search would have shown them the humbug with which they were so deceived ? FRANCE AND NICARAGUA. NOTHER REASON for the construction of the Nicaragua canal is that it will put a stop to further proceedings of the same kind at Pan- ama, and so remove some dangerous political complications arising from French enterprise in that locality. And the tax-payers of France ought to thank the United States senate for its sympathy with the Nicaraguan chan- nel between the two oceans. They have been bled enough; and, not- withstanding the fact that previous corruption in connection with the Panama canal sent several of their leading men to jail and nearly ruined the republic, there is talk of further effort of the same kind, comicbooks.com
