RTHUR SEWALL, who ran on the ticket with Bryan, says Bryan will be renominated and beat- en, and he also proclaims himself a supporter of the administration Philippines policy. There was room for improvement in Mr. Sewall's ideas, and he now occupies it gracefully and with great fullness. THERE ISN'T a Macrum of comfort in the situation of the ex-consul who bears that name. JOHANN MOST recently acted in a play in Chicago, and there wasn't an egg or a dry eye in the house. PENNOYER says Bryan talks too much, The latter may tell him he’s another with the utmost truth whenever he opens his mouth. ‘THE KAISER wants his government to give him a million more dollars a year. Evidently his majesty has small faith in the income to arise from his new opera. coe ‘OR SELLING “Sapho” a Philadelphia book-seller gets a year in prison, The judge would have been more = cruel, however, if he had sen- tenced him to read the book. TIMOTHY WOODRUFF during his Michigan pil- grimage said many good words for ex-Secretary Alger, and he can have the solid satisfaction of feeling that they were well deserved. Cares UR HURZ says the speeches of Washington and Lincoln are “as antiqua- ted nursery rhymes.” The Almighty will never be quite successful until he creates a man that Mr. Schurz can heartily indorse. eee [7 TOOK nine days for Bobs with from twenty- five thousand to forty thou- sand men to,whip Cronje with four thousand.

" HE SINCERITY of President McKinley is compromised for the first time by his advice as to Puerto Rico and his failure to insist that the advice be followed, and the compromise comes at a critical time. A short time ago nobody doubted his renomination, but to-day there are one or two men prominent for the honor of leading the ticket who might easily put up a good fight against him. LOOKING AHEAD, EMOCRATIC PAPERS that do not believe in Bryan are anxious for his nomination this year. They know that the party will be beaten with him as its standard-bearer, but they say that if he is shelved without ‘a nomination he will be a strong candidate for nomination four years hence, and they do want to win in 1904, That view is not without force, but it is not flattering to the free-silver candidate. STAGGERING HUMANITY. [F KRUGER does place women in the trenches in order to prejudice the world against the British and stagger humanity, as Mr. Stead says he threatens, he will find that the staggering will begin with the Boers. The British don’t want to fight women, but they will not be to blame if Kriger makes it impossible for them to avoid it; and the condemnation of the world will be visited upon the party responsible for the crime. OUR IMPENDING CITIZENS. THE RECORDS of South Africa show that the Canadians are good fighters. ‘They have been put in many positions of danger and have fought their way out of them with courage and dexterity. . Perhaps we on this side of the line have a right to rejoice, too. Those brave men or their descendants will doubtless have a chance to fight for the stars and stripes some day, either through conquest or annexation, and they will sureiy do more effective work than will the Filipinos or any of our adopted Spanish citizens nearer by. THE TRULY GOOD DEMOCRACY. THE NEW DEMOCRATIC POLICY as outlined by a caucus of Dem- ocratic national senators declares for a Filipino republic under the protection of the United States and the complete surrender of our sover- . cignty in the Philippine isl- ands. Thus all our sacrifices over there, and likewise the millions paid to Spain for the islands, are to be totally un- rewarded, while the expense of the protection of the lives oS Gi and property of the natives is SS to go right on. The Demo- \N i cratic party is good, but isn’t a it too infernally generous? fe Might not the natives of the Fi new republic be allowed to p pay a few of their own taxes? CROSSING THE TUGELA. R. BULLER did not be- gin crossing the Tugela soon enough. Granted that he was industrious in the great work of crossing the Tugela after he began, but the work should have begun with the opening of the cam- paign. It is difficult to un- derstand the strategy involv- ed in crossing the stream for the mere purpose of crossing back; but it is doubtless pat- terned after that of the king of France who, with twice ten thousand men, marched up the hill and then marched down again. And where Mr. Buller is now is a puzzle. He may be on one side or the other, and he may be half seas over; but so long as he keeps going hope will attend him, and, possibly in a mo- ment of extreme faintness, fi- nally perch upon his banners comicbooks.com
