If there were no gold in the Transvaal would there be no war there? ]F IT 1S TRUE that Vice-president Hobart is seriously ill Governor Roosevelt will find himself surrounded by an emergency. THE TRUST CONFERENCE in Chicago brought out some able speeches and no conclusion except the adjournment sine die. WE DON'T BE- LIEVE Ester- hazy will come here to lecture. Nobody can talk well from a lamp- post without a platform T MAY BE TRUE that there are some cycling diseases; but it is equally true that there would be more diseases if there were no ‘cycles. Miss GRANT was CHEATED OF HIS PREY. A FORTUNE-TELLER tolda young girl of Middletown that she would be disappointed in love, and she immediately killed herself, The young man selected by fortune to disappoint her will find himself circumvented, so there! THE DANGER OF PROSPERITY. THE GREATER the crops in Kansas the more the divorces. Is it not better to be poor and have ideas and a flow of language than to be rich and caper idly in the wrong woman's chamber? Let this prospenty continue and presently the Kansas man will cut his wisdom and even his very hair, RISING IN THE SCALE. [N ONE Democratic gathering in this town Aguinaldo was heartily cheered: and we notice that Mark Twain recently expressed a desire to meet Mr. Satan, who he says partially runs a large part of the universe, and shake him by the tail. Is it true that, after all, the downtrodden are looking up? HER LOCAL TREASURY. THE CHICAGO WOMAN has got into the habit of using her stocking for a pocket-book, and a shocked contemporary inquires in a loud voice, * How does it look?” The habit is not praiseworthy, but we do hope the lady is not going around making an exhibition of her perambu- lating exchequer. AN ECONOMICAL DOCUMENT. HEY CHARGE KRUGER with addressing her majesty as “ Dear queen.” The familiarity is shockingly improper; but the Dutch are an economical people, totally without frills, and the expression certainly saves the use of a good many words which are proper and admissible but wholly unnecessary. TWO ADMI- RALS, ADMIRAL MON- TOJO is retired, admonished and set at liberty. The contrast between his fate and that of Admiral Dewey shows what a crime it is to be whipped and what glory to be suc- cessful. And the les- son is plain. Montojo should have resigned, as Artemus Ward said Harfed “incite THEY RUN SO FAST. My nee languages. It is a dreadful reflection that possibly she will have to get her divorce with the same elaborate circum- locution. Mr, Hoor Monx—** What excellent cadi the ball.” A MILLIONAIRE of Chicago objects to the marriage of his daughter toa Russian prince. We can account for this only on the theory that the prince has yet to be found. ERVING WINSLOW says the anti-expansionists won't form a party at present. To be sure. It wi! first be necessary to send out a search- warrant and see if it can be found. #4: HEN GENERAL WHEELER says the Philippines country is more favorable to military progress than he supposed it is barely possible that he refers to the military progress of Aguinaldo. se THE INCIDENT is closed.” pompously says the French minister of war, alluding to the Dreyfus matter. It was supposed to have been closed with the sending of Dreyfus to Devil's island, but it wasn’t. vee THE COLOR LINE has been drawn against a little Cuban boy in a public school in Indiana. Perhaps he won't get free and enlightened as soon as he would if he hadn't been boycotted; but he must persevere— he must persevere, wee THE CONTRIBUTION of twenty-five thousand dollars to the Bryan cause by O. H. P. Belmont is exceedingly generous; but we warn Mr. Belmont that John R. McLean, who is worth twenty millions, wants to run for vice-president too. he propose these kangaroos make, to be sure! No danger of losing D& Proposed to do as soon as he was drafted. THE HEAVENLY GRAND. SARAH GRAND is closely connected with the proposed bloomer-jubi- lee celebration in England. Certainly she doesn’t understand the garb. She is so opposed to everything of a masculine nature that one would rather expect her to faint at any approach to trousers, however they might be hidden by slightly-abbreviated skirts. WHY HE WON’T FIGHT. OBODY has a right to expect Thomas B. Reed to go to the Philip- pines and fight. He is beyond the requisite age, and besides he would offer two marks to the enemy's guns where every other soldier would offer only one. Mr. Reed is reticent regarding the war, but a patri- otic country must not expect too much of him. WHY? L! HUNG CHANG wants to know why we don't buy up Aguinaldo. Why, the proprieties prevent. It wouldn't be fair to the natives under him, all of whom would want to be bought up too. It is not so strange a thing, however, to buy up leaders, as every «war is ended by concessions from one side or the other which have the value of gold. And probably the second Washington is that stiff-necked that he won't sell. CIRCULATION. NOW THAT ALL the yelling of the yellow journals over the Dewey celebration has vanished in thin air, JUDGE modestly rises to remark that its picture of the truly admirable admiral is regarded even by himself as far and away the best of any published. The circulation of over five hundred. thousand of this picture sufficiently attests the popularity of JUDGE, the widest-distnbuted cartoon and comic weekly in the world. ~ comicbooks.com
