R. GORMAN will bear in mind that, now that he is out of office, he won't have his feelings hurt so often. SPEAKER REED has won the commendation of the New York Aven. ing Post, and he was born in this country too! OVERNOR PINGREE might be suspected of being one of the polit- ical bosses whom he condemns; but he never bosses—he persuades. THE SPANIARDS will punish General Toral and other commanders, and presently, we suppose, they will court-martial the peace commis- sioners. THERE ARE SUSPICIONS that Aguinaldo is a coward: but we never knew a man to send his armies to death more cheerfully or with more alacnity. THE PHILIPPINES, according to Senator Mason, will have their Lafa- yette. The senate needs this man’s eloquence, but we feel sure that he can be spared. E, BENJAMIN ANDREWS laments that in a certain contingency * “there will not be much progression forward.” Oh well, let it pro- gress the other way then. THE DEATH PENALTY is talked of for burglars; and certainly the burg- lars frequently visit that penalty on the householder who catches them plying their profession. YOUNG MAN stole twenty thousand dollars with which to bring comfort to his consumptive wife. It reminds one of the pleading of the colored man— Stole dem breeches, but ‘twant no sin— Stole dem breeches to be baptize in.” HE KIOWA INDIANS of Kansas have elected a white woman—Mrs. Poor Buffalo, or Belle Perkins—as their medicine man, “And yet.” -says Mrs. Stanton, “they say the Indian can’t be civilized.” CECIL RHODES predicts that this government will presently acquire the Central and South American states. and have all of the two continents but Canada, Now the latter is too good a country to be left out in the cold like th: MBASSADOR WHITE. says in a lecture that the French revolution and our civil war might have been avoid- ed. It is mighty mean in this man to publish this information only after hun- DEMOCRATIC MALICE, HE DEMOCRATIC PLOT to get McKinley out of the way next year by attacking Alger ts a great compliment to the former. It is testi- mony that there is nothing whatever to be brought against him. Had the principal had a weak spot in his armor these conspirators would not have confined their villainy to the lieutenant GROWTH. LAST CONGRESS appropriated a billion and a half dollars. It was said at the close of the previous session that. it having appropri- ated a billion, this was a billion-dollar country. Since then we have ex- panded proportionately a great deal more than the half mentioned; and it must never be forgotten that glory costs money. EXAMPLE OF THE COMMON SOLDIER. HAT PART of the war department which fights the common enemy does its duty well, regardless of danger and of personal differences It ought to be permitted to teach discipline to its superiors at Washin ton; or, better still, it would be tine to send the superiors to Manila that they might have a chance to behave themselves too. GOOD LUCK TO THE CZAR. THE WORLD has some affection for the czar since his declaration in behalf of peace, absurd as that proposi- tion may be, and therefore hopes that he may have and retain his entire mind, re- gardless of the ambition of his brother the grand duke Michael. A ruler who ts honest in his regard for peace is too valu able a man to be allowed to lose his mind or his empire. A NERVELESS BODY. MB. BAILEY relieves himself of a pain- ful responsibility by relinquishing the leadership of the Democrats of the house. They are a mere mob. They don’t know in what they believe any more than he does, excepting the belief that they must be ag'in the government. They won't rally. They can’t shout. They have no principle with regard to modern questions ; and he has never put himself at their head but they have turned around and gone the other way. LOST CHANCES. STHE PRETENDERS of France had their opportunity in the death of Faure, but they didn't make a noise or fracture the proprieties sufficiently to get themselves in danger. The opportunities of the pretender of Spain have been nu- merous. but his friends have behaved with a persistency worthy of all praise. These persons ought to change their names and titles. They are not dangerous, but mere- ly ridiculous. Governments are made at dreds of thousands have died of them. THE ‘SQUIRE'S APRIL- FOOL JOKE. this period to stay. comicbooks.com
