THE FACT that Peary lost seven toes shows that he was reduced to great, or rather to three extremi- ties. tae THE PRICE of the governorship of Ohio varies, but John R. McLean will find that it is mighty high this year. see 'HE MAN of Kansas city who wants to fight a duel with Es- tethazy is certainly honest. If he were a Frenchman he would be apt to shoot him in the back. coe [T MUST be admitted that, while the French people do not revo- lute as often as they threaten, they talk about it with more frequency and fervency than ever before.

FARMER MeapowGRass—" I've been out sowing timothy.” Which of your boys is Timothy, and why don’t A DEFENSIVE MEASURE. THE GOVERNMENT of England requests the officers of its army to raise mustaches. That is a pretty good war measure. It is not wise to let the enemy see whether its opponent is able to carry a stiff upper lip. PRAYER IN SCIENTIFIC MATTERS. A PUGILIST says he was helped to win in a recent fistic discussion by the knowledge that his wile’s dark-brown eyes were watching him and her lips were praying that he might win. Possibly the prayers of the wife of the other man were even more effusive and numerous, but prayers are never a sure thing in cases of prize-tight. JUSTICE FOR WOMEN. ISSOURI has an association, without a woman in it, whose purpose it is to compel employers to pay the same wages to women that are paid men for the same kind of work. Here is another evidence of the magnificent generosity and unselfishness of man; and yet there are women who never get near that person without wanting to bite him. NOT SO. HE STORY that it is Russia that is hindering the settlement of the Alaska dispute gives Russia credit for an influence that she wouldn't have if she could get it for nothing. Isn't she meddling with the South African trouble and the Philippines unpleasantness, too? Possibly she has a few troubles of her own, MR. REED’S LIBERTY. O E PAPER condemns Thomas B. Reed as an ungrateful wretch for having resigned his seat in the house for the money that work in a lawyer's office will bring him. Yet this is a free country, even for office-holders; and it is still true that it is every man’s priv- ilege to have life and liberty and the right to pursue the lucre that we all want to clutch. IT WILL BE THERE. TRusts AND IMPERIALISM may have the leading place on the Democratic national platform, but the money business will still be there, It is encouraging to believe that the platform-makers will be somewhat afraid of it; but to put it behind the veil will not eliminate it, and it is a fact that a vast major- ity of the Democracy believe in it and will upset values with it if they ever get a chance. IDIOTIC TREACHERY. THE EFFORT of the World to steal Dewey and make him the Democratic candidate for president is treachery to Bryan, to Miles, and to the Democratic platform as it is going to be constructed. Worse than that, it is idiotic, for Dewey is not to be hooked. And as the father of imperialism—for did he not start the whole business ?—how absurd he would be as the Democratic standard-bearer. Nw 4 if “- Cae COARSE WORDS. T Is PROP to eliminate the words nigger and dago from the American vocabulary. They are vulgar, and the person who uses them invites criticism of himself that ought to be painful. But, whatever the Italian may do about the opprobrious term applied to him, it will be a long time before the black man ceases to use the word nigger in connection with himself and most of his brethren and sisters. A REMEDY FOR LYNCHING. THE WIDOW of a black man lynched by white men has sued in the United States courts for heavy damages, and will surely win her case if she establishes the identity of the lynchers or any of them. Her suit is brought against the sheriff of the county and citizens of the town in which the lynching occurred. Here is a remedy for lynching which ought to be effective. Make the tax-payers pay the penalty and in time the villainy will cease. comicbooks.com
