The Sally-in- our-alley populists continue to favor the idea, eee BRYAN, according to James Cree!- man, will carry Ohio next fall. We believe Mr. Creelman predicted the capture of Pretoria by the British sev- eral months ago. ao T IS INTIMATED that if Wash- ington had tried to cross the Del- aware as often as Buller crossed the Tugela he might have gone under in the middle of the stream. . OVERNOR STANLEY of Kan- sas has begun a crusade against card-playing by women; yet the women of Kansas are grown, same as those of other localities. oe ECIL RHODES was never ap- prehensive, but when he dis- covered that Kimberley had been relieved he wanted to bet a peck of diamonds that he was the happiest man in that town, HE FATHER of a champion pugilist was recently arrested for assault and battery. The old man ought to get his son to give «him a few of the lessons that were omitted in the case of the latter several years ago. HE DUKE OF PORTLAND contributed fifty thousand dollars to the war-fund and immediately raised his rents. We mention this by no means as a singular circumstance, but to show that the duke has financial ideas quite as plebeian as those of all the rest of us. A WICHITA MAN is running for congress on the platform “ What would Jesus do if he were running for congress?” The name is used too often and too much, As the Saviour was never absurd, he would with- draw from the contest several days before his nomination. A FRENCH SENATOR says the South African war was a direct result of the Dreyfus business, because without Dreyfus France would have been strong enough to frighten the British into keeping the peace. Simi- lar argument might make France the ruler of all the nations. eee Doctor THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH says he heartily wishes he had never written “Ben Bolt.” We fear the good doctor has soured of the world, like the man who went over Niagara in a barrel.“ What is said that person with fine scorn, in a moment of penury and hun- * Fame ain’t nothin’,” THE CANDLE HAS TWO ENDS. Busstv—"* Hey, Scrubby! yer pants are a bit high-tide, ain't dey?” Scrupny—" High tied, yer say? Maybe yer t'ink me suspenders ain't let down "nuff?" APPORTIONING THE HONORS. CRONJE said he would fight to the death. He didn’t necessarily mean his own death, but that of his soldiers. He is principally known as the brave Cronje, but they are entitled to some credit. Once in a while the men who do the dying are worth considering. THE LIFE AT STAKE. ‘TO DECLARE that there is no reasonable doubt of the guilt of young Molineux is to declare belief in the infallibility of the writing experts. Not.to declare it is to admit the doubt which the law says shall save his life. Justice cannot afford to be merciful, but justice cannot afford to kill an innocent man, A VENTURESOME YOUTH. YOUNG MR. BECKHAM is occupying ground previously pre-empted by the people of Kentucky and the man of their choice; and he will learn presently that it is far easier to get into a scrape than to get out of one. The character of the men who rush in where angels fear to tread is not of precisely the kind of which good governors are made, and we fear Mr. Beckham is in considerable danger. = a STATE AGAINST NATION i ; AGAIN. ‘THE DEMOCRATS of Virginia pro- pose openly to disfranchise the negroes of that state, though they are protected by the national constitution in their right to vote. It is state rights over again. It is nullification over again. Probably it will not lead to another civil war, but it has a strong tendency in that direction and it is too dangerous to be recklessly undertaken. And, whatever the people of Virginia may suffer from negro domination so- called, it is unfair and unjust to the negro and the nation. SOME POETIC SCORN- ING, THE MARQUIS OF QUEENS- BERRY left word that he was to be cremated and his uninclosed ashes be given to the ground in some spot that he had loved. He was characteristically careful, however, to express his contempt for rites of burial held sacred by a great many wiser men than he, calling them Christian mummeries and tomfool- eries, declaring that he wanted to be buried as an agnostic, however that may be; and he added, with a touch of poetic fervor strange in so coarse a man, that if any of the spots he loved could not be secur- ed for burial, “any place will suffice where the stars will ever shed their light and the sun shall gild each rising morn.” Apparently his faith in the permanency of things here below was complete, notwithstanding his disbelief in the mummeries and tomfooleries. FAIR PLAY FOR HOME MARKETS. ‘0 CAPTURE a country for the purpose of conferring upon it the ines- timable privileges of our system of government, and then inflict upon it a tariff which denies her free trade with countries which were previously a chief source of her commercial existence, is not fair trade or fair play. Puerto Rico deserves better treatment, and the Republican party cannot afford to put such injustice in the hands of its adversaries at home, espe- cially on the eve of a national election. We should give Puerto Rico and Cuba free trade; we should not be like the farmer who inflicts needless taxes on his own crops. The few men whose interests in sugar, fruits, tobacco and coffee will be slightly hurt by this course are not to be com- pared with the many who are to pass upon it at the ballot-box this year. Great Britain tariffed Ireland to death, as Representative McCall recently reminded us in his able speech in the house. We should avoid encour- aging Democracy with that kind of fact by way of argument against what they call imperialism.
