THE CHIEF GENERAL of the Bntish in South Africa is Buller than John himself. ROBERT MAZET of this town was so grieved over his defeat that he went right off and got married ARL SCHURZ gave his tumultuous voice to John McLean of Ohio and it swelled Judge Nash's majority. A WOMAN has a right to smoke: but she had better wait till she is mar- ried—otherwise she never will be. R. GODKIN being out of the Even- éng Post, somebody else is rubbing its sore head and doing its daily swearing. eee F MR. AGUINALDO hoped tor aid and comfort at the hands of the cop- petheads of this country he probably feels diflerent now. o- e ENERAL WHITE may not be a good commander, but he knows when he is whipped and confesses it with the frankness of a child ove THERE WERE a thousand less mar- riages in Ohio this year than last. Pethaps this 1s further evidence of pros- perity—at least for the parties who didn't. MAJOR ESTERHAZY is in prison for three years for ordinary, common- place swindling. Mighty cheap traitor to save to the sacrifice of French honor and fait play. THE BRITISH are out of Samoa. They give their islands to Germany, and is are as pleased as the girl who found her new hat was.dragging her to perdition and therefore gave it to her sister. Jj G°v RNOR HOGG says, “Shoot hell out ‘of the’ Filipinos.” It is gratiying to witness the earnestness of this distinguished Democrat; but really our soldiers are no mere revivalists. Boy—"* Not much! ose THE POET LAUREATE is not in sympathy with the British wat on the Boers. He inadvertently jubilated in verse over the Jameson raid, but he has learned not to shoot until he gets his gun loaded. SALISBURY says England seeks neither gold nor diamond mines, but equal rights for all men. Incidentally this includes the right to be shot, and it cannot be denied that the Bntish are getting their share of it. oie 6 THE MAIN OBJECT of the Paris exhibition, according to an authority, is to show the world what the French really are. Good gracious! if the object is achieved the exhibition will not be patronized by any outside people whatever, THE GENUINE ARTICLE. I hope you boys are not playing hookey?" Dis is de real t'ing—no playin’ about it.” FAME. ‘THE CONSTITUENTS of Senator Mason are throwing up their hats for that gentleman. His threat to resign has filled their hearts with joy. Let him carry out the threat and they will cheer him to death. A PRECEDENT. ‘THE PRECEDENT set by Mr. Vanderbilt in cutting off his son with a millon and a half is lamentable; and yet we beg the young heir of the period to reflect that it is worse to marry against his own will than against that of his stern and unbending parent. KENTUCKY. MB- GOEBEL of Kentucky will now have leisure to attend to the many who openly fired insults at him, He must have as many as a dozen duels on his otherwise unoccupied hands. ‘The people of his state are not entirely amiable, but they don’t want for governor a man who is habitually violent and dangerous. HOW THE MULE WILL TURN. SOME MISSOURI MULES cost the British a defeat by running away with the ammunition. They were doubtless hurt by being put to menial work. They should have been at the head of the fighting columns and backed at the enemy, so that their hind legs might have been afforded some amusement. The American mule is sensitive. NEEDS ADVERSITY. RUPYARD KIPLING is undergoing some adverse criticism. The news- papers speak of some of his recent poems as contemptuously as if he were the poet laureate. And he needs it. He has a large head, and the excessive praise that has been given him has hardened his heart to all the amenities and made him exclu- sive and proud. AFTER THE DISTURBANCE. MF. CROKER blames ex-Senator Hill for the decreased Democratic vote up the state. While the ex-senator and his friends may have voted early, they cer- tainly omitted the often part of the old Democratic injunction. And now that the enemy is in possession of the disputed ter- ritory the two leaders will, as usual, fall to and fight each other. POSSIBLE ? HERE IS NO END to a woman's ambition. It is barely possible that Dewey will want to be president, after all. Mrs. Dewey is a Democrat, after the man- ner of her father and her brother. The par- tisanism of Dewey is not precisely known, but then Grant was a Democrat before the civil war. Let us advise the Democrats to pluck up courage and fish for Dewey again. A CHANCE FOR BELMONT. THE RESULT in Ohio removes John R. McLean as a candidate for vice- president on the Democratic ticket. There is therefore a very good chance for O. H. P. Belmont, whose wealth is large and who may be in some other respects the man for the slaughter. It is true that he doesn’t believe insfree silver, but his ambition won't pause before a little thing like that. SETTLED. :QEVERAL STATES besides Ohio have testified that President McKin- ley is good ‘enough:to have a re-election. Probably the Philippines question will be settled before the next national election, but if it is not the fact will swell the majority of McKinley, as a similar situation did that of Liricoln when he ran the.second time. The people of this country don't believe in the.white feather and retreat. A WOMAN WHO DOESN'T DARE. ADY MARY HOWARD went to South Africa as a war-correspondent of the London 7elegraph, and when she first heard the guns go off and saw a few shells she went rapidly to the rear and sobbed that what she wahted was to go home. We have always thought that most war- correspondents were too venturesome; and the discretion that belongs to this lady is the best kind of common sense. comicbooks.com
