THE MCENERY RESOLU- TION—* There is a dreadful bridge ahead, but we will not cross it until we get to it.” DOG in this town has his teeth brushed three times a day. Therefore the words “clean as a hound’s tooth" have a real meaning. M®: KIPLING couldn't have treated his brother-in-law worse, according to the latter's statement, if he had been a news- paper man. o- PRESIDENT ELIOT of Har- vard, who is sorry that Spain didn’t whip us, believes that the mormon Roberts ought to be ad- mitted to the house of representa- tives. Forrics NoveListT—' SENATOR HOAR has likened Aguinaldo to Simon Bolivar and Washington; but it wasn’t the habit of those men to fight for the mere purpose of getting whipped. GOMEZ wanted two things, the independence of Cuba and a purse of sixty million dollars. The two things do not seem to harmonize. Taken together, they are as bad as a paradox. ve R. GORMAN, according te the Evening Sun, “can't see beyond the end of his nose.” It is worse than that. He has that true inward- ness which enables him to see nothing but the back of his own head. er S IT TRUE, as Mrs. Lillie Blake says, that many women oppose suf- frage through fear that when women vote they will abolish marriage? If it is, there is an ignorance of human nature around here that is appalling. wee 66] T IS ONLY through the party system that free governments are suc- cessfully carried on,” says Governor Roosevelt. That is as true as gospel. Without organization there can be no success that is profitable to the state.

It cost some- thing in blood and money to do it, but he was quiescent and apparent- ly pleased. It hardly behooves him, therefore, to take the islands from the United States, and we beg him not to do it. Let him consider the case of Gomez and be wise. HOW FAME FLIES. N ALDERMAN of this town gave a dinner recently at a cost of ten thousand dollars; and a dis- patch tells of “the most costly funer- al ever held along the Wabash.’ ‘The passion for extravagance is strong in both life and death; but it is not pleasant to reflect that in twenty years no portion of the world will know that the man of the din- ner or he of the funeral ever had an existence. EXPANSIONISTS. WASHINGTON AND LIN- COLN were expansionists in their way. They didn’t propose to have any territory get away from them. Once acquired, it was to re- main in the union of states for all time. The south was for a time the enemy of this policy, but it got well over it. The mugwumps are the only opponents of it now, and they are confined to the colleges and the Evening Post. NOT NOW. GENERAL MILES has a right to yearn for the presidency, but this is a bad time for it. By the time that Mr. McKinley has ended his second term Admiral Dewey and Governor Roosevelt will be most talked of for that honor; and, further than that, he didn’t distinguish himself in the late war and he is too near home to get glory from the Philippines. However, Henry Watterson may be prevailed upon to consider it. THE EASIER WORD. SEVERAL SOUTHERN STATES have laws authorizing a man to assault the other man who calls him a liar. Yet the use of the term may be the application of a truth and it may be necessary to a proper un- derstanding. Of course it would be better in most cases to allude to the offending person as a prevaricator; but the plainer word is good, strong English and hits the case far better. Horace Greeley once gave to an article the heading “ Horatio Seymour as a Liar,” and afterward defended it very successfully; though the governor was not a liar, but was at times liable to be mistaken, comicbooks.com
