ENATOR LODGE praises this country as pro- fusely as if he owned it and wanted to put it up at auction. cee ‘THE MAYOR of Topeka refuses to let the Sapho show open in his town. Is the reverend Mr. Sheldon editing the mayor, too? WE MUST INSIST that the whiskers of the Boers are not more striking than those of our Kansas fellow-citizens, and the latter are good fighters, too. see T HAS BEEN demonstrated in Kansas that the whole art of editing a newspaper by a clergyman consists in making the newspaper without publish- ing the news. OCK-FIGHTING is said to be becoming a fad in Connecticut drawing-rooms. Perhaps Mrs. Langtry might get her bar-maids into the good society of the nutmeggers. oe FREQUENT REPORTS of an ardent desire on the part of Russia to go to war would seem to argue that the czar never heard of a certain large peace convention last year. Woman SUFFRAGE has been turned down again in both the Mas- sachusetts and the New York legislatures. We are half inclined to revive an old remark by Ben Butler, “Phat Catt won't fight.” VERY ENJOYABLE monthly publication is The Schoolmaster, edited by Creswell McLaughlin at Cornwall-on- Hudson. The usual purpose of publications of this title is to print things that nobody wants to read. ‘WE. STUFFED ballot- boxes,” says Senator Tillman, * we bulldozed the nig- gers and shot ‘em, and we are not ashamed of it.” It would be curious if men who confess to such crimes should have any re- serve shame to draw upon. Bourk COCKRAN says if we had done our duty in the Alaskan-boundary matter there would have been no war in South Africa. Does Mr. Cock- ran think it our duty to go to war with England in order to pre- vent her making war upon some other power? Really, that is too much kindness to fairly expect THE MONKEY—‘* Wait a minute! wait a minute! Wait till I call ine kinetoscope man.” DEBS. ‘THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATS having nominated Eugene V. Debs for president, the great work of saving the country has fairly begun. Now if somebody will tell us who and what the social Democrats are, the unsocial Democrats will know exactly what to avoid. CARTOONS IN VOLUMES. THE KAISER wants the queen to collect all the cartoons of herself, while he collects all the cartoons of himself, the two collections to be bound and deposited in the British museum. A good deal of history would be involved in those books; and the suggestion shows his majesty in his best estate. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. N A TALK declaring that war is probable between England and France a Frenchman says, “It was not weakness that made the French yield in the Fashoda dispute, but moderation.” The word selected ts rather absurd. It was common sense. It was a natural desire to save the French- men from being brushed off the earth. And, while the talker would like to make it appear that France is continually gathering herself for a spring at the English throat, the longer peace continues the better every sensible Frenchman will be pleased. A GENUINE BEECHER. THOMAS K. BEECHER, who died in Elmira the other day, was a genuine Beecher. He was more often called Tom than anything else, and when, several years ago, a college degree came to him, he wrote to an Elmira editor, “Please don’t call me doctor. Call me Tom, or anything else you choose, but never doctor.” The church over which he presided was liberal in its theology. It had ¢ small theatre, a romp-room for the children, and a billiard-room. And one of the church's deacons once re- marked to a friend, * Why in blank don’t you join Tom’s church and be a Christian?" HILL. T IS ANNOUNCED that Mr. Croker will kindly permit David B. Hill to go as a delegate-at-large to Kansas city, and the statement is given on Democratic authority as gratifying evidence of a renewal of harmonious relations between the two. The ex-senator was very prominent in the Chicago gathering, and won the encomiums of some of Mr. Cleveland's best friends, William C. Whitney and Don M. Dickinson among others. These gentlemen praised his diplomacy and his general ability, and to him was given the impossible task of winning the majority from the silver fool- ishness. Undoubtedly Mr. Hill will add to his reputation in the Kansas city meeting; but he will attempt no effort in opposition to Mr. Bryan, since that would be hopeless. If, however, there were to be such an open- ing he would be exactly the man to fill it, and he would stand as good a chance'*o be the candidate as any eastern man might—which is not saying much for him. At all events, it will be pleasant to know that he is at the front of Democratic politics again, for that is where he belongs and it is where he is always interesting. UP TO DATE. comicbooks.com
