Infringement of this copyright will be promptly and vigorously prosecuted. ONES of Ohio is a comparatively unknown quantity, but his dimensions indicate much rotundity. E. ATKINSON will discon- * tinue his Ante-Jmperial- #st, but his private howling will go on just the same. ET US TWIST things around. Why not ask the bloody Boers why they do not take somebody of their size? DINNER of anti-imperi- alists, presided over by George Fred Williams, was a feast of mutual admiration and a flow of foolishness. MR: BRYAN says he will stay in politics until the lid closes down on his coffin. Bravo! and six months, let us hope, after the funeral. SWINBURNE writes hysteria, according to the Lon- don Academy; but it must be admitted that his sobs are done in good metre and excellent rhyme. eee MB: WIXON says if he could have his way he would chloroform all criminals. Mr. Wixon is a clergy- man, but we do suspect him of a design to get a corner on the medicine. [7 MAY be true that D. B. Hills friends supported Bryan in ‘ninety-six; but they were so quiet about it that their left hands never knew the kind of ballots their right hands held. LADY writes to the Sun that if women do wear birds on their hats men are equally cruel because they kill fish for sport. Tut, tut! Men do not kill fish. They merely lie about it. eee . HEY TELL of an Ogdensburg man who went crazy over foot-ball. Give him a rest. Teach him to play golf. If anybody ever went crazy over that he had his craze before he got the game. TEN WOMEN were clected to as many boards of education in this state last election day: and it was noticed the very next day that the percentage of attend- ance and culture was greatly increased. ‘THE REGISTER of Kings county says the fees of the office are sixty thousand dollars a year, and that is too much. A man as honest as that ought to have two terms and no reduction of the perquisites. S THE MAN to stand up and be sworn at at the end of every campaign Mr. Platt’s Quigg is far too valuable to be put on the shelf. With Quigg out of the way Platt would have to take the entire bom- bardment. SHE CERTAINLY HAD ONE. JAck—"* What is a ‘silent part- dt STELLA—"* Well, I danced with a deaf-mute the other evening.” A BAD BARGAIN. WALDORF ASTOR can't get a peerage, and good taste won't allow him to use the “honorable” he won in our legislature. The man who sells his birthright for a mess of pottage makes a bad bargain, but this poor man doesn’t get the pottage. THE BOER AS A FIGHTER. F THE ABILITY to fight is an evidence of civilization, the Boers have proved their civilization far more than the English had hoped they might. And there is a good deal of significance in the fact that they have whipped the British twice before this. THE COST OF TREASON. HE ATKINSONS have taught Aguinaldo to believe in the Demo- cratic party of this country. and he will try to prolong the war until the November election next year. How many lives will be unnecessarily sacrificed on account, of this conclusion—can the Atkinsons tell? GREAT HASTE. A RESOLUTION for Bryan in the New York state Democratic com- mittee and delegates for Bryan in Massachusetts long before the national Democratic convention is called. Why delay the further proceedings? Mr. Bryan might get away. Why not declare the man elected and let it go at that? +“ THE GOVERNM ays the London Tele- graph, “bas put its hand to the plowshare and must thrust it home.” We don't believe there is a gov- ernment on earth that could make a thrust like that without hurting—shall we say burning ?—merely its own fingers. THE WISER WAY. JOHN R. MCLEAN says he is not discouraged, but distressed. Let him adopt the example of his new brother-in-law and keep out of politics and he may be happy yet. He ought to know by this time that it the business of newspaper editors to keep themselves retired and elect other men to office. THE COMFORT OF IT. ‘THE BURGHERS of South Africa are said to be largely believers in Christian science. Perhaps, therefore, they imagine that those of their brethren who have been shot by the British are not dead, but sleep ing, and are emboldened to fight on. As for the dead on the other side, of course they don’t know any better than to allow themselves to be buried. TOO LATE. THE EDITORS of the Democratic Amsterdam Sen- tunel and Gloversville Herald are insisting that if the Democratic party wants to win it must drop Bryan and his financial foolishness, get up a decent platform and put up a decent ticket. Undoubtedly this is true, and these papers are to be credited with great courage; but it is too late to try to save a property after its cred- itor has closed a mortgage on it. COPYRIGHT OF REPORTERS. HE HIGHER COURTS of England have decided that a reporter may not hold the copyright of speeches by Lord Rosebery reported to the London Times, The point is a very delicate one. Would other reporters have a right to the copyright of their versions if the case in point had resulted differently? Would Lord Rosebery have a right to his own speeches if he were to adopt any particular version? TRUTH AND JUSTICE. HE NEW EDITOR of the Evening Post has the courage to be judicial in his judgments, even in be- half of the president. He frankly admits that the recent elections upheld expansion, and as a result McKinley will undoubtedly be nominated a second time. Pos- sibly Mr. Godkin might have done so if he had retained the editorship; but he would have made the air so blue with his anathema that nobody could have read the fact or the prophecy. comicbooks.com
