Childs neither deny nor affirm, but they are surely old enough to manage their own du- mestic matters. see 'HE MAN of Kan- sas city who gets ninety years in the pen- itentiary may congrat- ulate himself that he has escaped the Dem- ocratic national con- vention, anyhow. see ORD KITCHEN- ER says he is not going to marry Mrs. James Brown Potter; but what does he know about it in comparison with Mrs. Potter and the newspapers ? cee R. BRYAN says no concession will be made to the gold Democrats, If there were a desire to that effect. nobody could find a gold Democrat to whom to hand over the important documents. see ‘THE BOER HABIT of ‘stripping women and whipping them with a sjambo, which is made of hippopotamus-hide, will inevitably tangle up their prayers so that they won't go skyhigh. see HERE ARE FIVE young bachelors in congress, and Representative Fitzgerald of Massachusetts has made up his mind to marry them to five Massachusetts girls. A new method, perhaps, of calling for the ayes and nays. First urcuin: SECOND URCH First urcHin—" He says so.” THE CONDITION of Mr. Croker’s leg has much to do with the time set for various Democratic conventions; and perhaps the inability to kick with it has much to do with the reported reconciliation of the Hill- Murphy-Croker contingents. . TOPEKA is tickled half to death over a chance to agitate itself on the Sapho question. A local company has determined to produce the play, and public opinion will be ag’in it as soon as it finds out what it is. There will be great excitement, but perhaps no war. DOUBTFUL. y fadder "s a dandy. How do yer know?” AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY. RE THERE any gold Democrats this year? If there are they are keeping mighty still. There is no money and no chance of office- getting in running a ticket, and perhaps for that reason they do not care to act. The matter of the regular ‘ticket has their hearts, perhaps. The matter of principle is inviting, but it doesn’t pay. Or do they intend’ to vote the Republican ticket and say nothing about it? Or is the financial question, excepting the silver part of it, dead? “GOD SAVE THE PRINCE! HE PRINCE OF WALES is precisely the man for the position he fills. He attends to society and lets statesmanship alone. He will make as good a king as his mother has made a queen, and principally by attend- ing to his own business and letting parliament attend to the country. A great man in such a position would be dangerous. A king cannot afford to have wisdom, and a thinking king would lose his throne. The cranks had better let Albert Edward alone. God save the prince! SUPERFLUOUS SENTIMENT. $4] LOVE the old Democratic party,” says Grover Cleveland. A good many years ago, when General Winfield Scott was running for presi- dent on the Whig ticket, he said in a little tail-end speech, “I love the fine Irish brogue, the sweet German accent.” It was one of a number of ill-considered re- marks whose purpose was too plain, and the Democrats took them up and with their aid ridiculed the general out of all chance of success, Better leave unsaid such patent compliments as best explain themselves when left unsaid. LIGHTNING IN PRAYER, THE REVEREND MR. DIXON of Stroudsburg, Pennsyl- vania, prayed that lightning might strike the big brewery in process of erection in that town, and a few hours thereafter light- ning knocked a few bricks off the structure and slightly injured four or five persons who occupied it. Mr. Dixon is convinced that the lightning is a re- sult of his prayer, and prays that the rest of the building be brought down in the very next storm; while the people are divided on the question, but generally praying that the efficacy of prayer may be demonstrated more effectively one way or the other. It is wonderful how much valuable time the Almighty is devoting to the plans and principles of some very cheap individuals. He never told de truth in his life.” DEMOCRACY FOR SILVER, SURE. R. BRYAN says the Kansas city convention will indorse silver with the ratio of sixteen to one without any concessions to the gold Dem- ocrats or anybody else on the ground that no legislation regarding silver can be had in four or five years or on any other ground. He also says in effect that silver is the paramount issue regardless of the trusts and the expansion question, and to relegate it to the background in behalf of the eastern Democracy would have no effect except to create disappointment on the part of the friends of the Chicago platform who stood true in 1896 and have been true ever since. This statement may be said to come by authority, for Mr. Bryan is absolutely master of the Democratic situation and is as firm as adamant in behalf of the Chicago business from begin- ning toend. And he is safe in the declaration so far as the eastern or gold Democrats are concerned, for there really “ain't no sich persons,” as Sairy Gamp’s pardner might remark. comicbooks.com
