It WAS a mistake to let Mr. Stevenson out of the hearse. He should have been buried. cee ILL SENATOR MASON send resolutions of sympathy to the suffering Boxers? R. BRYAN is too modest in his declaration that he will carry every state, Will he not carry the larger part of Canada as well? sae THE MAYOR of St. Louis forbade the use of gunpowder on the fourth of July.

HANNA regrets that the governor of New York didn't wear a silk hat, instead of a'slouch, at Philadelphia; but the contents of the hat were so appropriate to the occasion that he admits his hypercriticism. HE RECENT DECLARA- TION of President Kriger that the Boers will fight to the bitter end indicates that the Boer war, like that in the Philip- pines, has more bit- ter ends than it can ever take care of. see R. PLATT says he shall serve out his term in the senate and then retire, placing the reins of party management in the hands of Mr. Odell. Mr. Platt may be sincere, but he will surely not get out with such nervous haste as to sprain his ankle, eee, R. PULITZER opposes free silver, but supports Bryan because he is opposed to ex- pansion; while some of the old- time Democrats support nothing whatever in the platform, but will vote for Bryan because he is on the regular Democratic ticket—and they want to feel that they have a party behind pi Tux ¥Roc (to the pelican)—"' PI give this insurance-policy to my wife.” lease, Mi STRIKERS AS BARBARIANS. YouNc WOMEN who have ridden in the street-cars a short distance have been stripped by St. Louis mobs, struck in the face and knocked down, and finally chased into cellars and other hiding-places, where they have been kept #:. until relieved by women belonging to those places. There have been several murders as a result of the strike, and we should think the strikers would refuse any kind of success as the re- sult of such barbarity as that. Is it not amazing, however, that the guilty scoundrels should not have been either killed or sent to the penitentiary? WOMAN AND THE LAW. WO DOZEN WOMEN spent a night in a station-house in this town, recently, weeping at the disgrace and suffering privations previously undreamed of, to say nothing of the unearned disgrace. The sin they had committed is one that is permitted men without punishment. Will it be believed that those women had actually played the races, had bet on cer- tain racing horses? And is it not amazing that not a policeman or a mag- istrate has had his hide punctured for the insult and the disgrace? Why is it that the law is permitted outrages which would send an ordinary per- son to jail, it being only necessary that the sufferer shall be a woman? THE CONVERTED SISTERS. MB. WATTERSON declares that it is too late to ery out in party plat- forms against expansion; it would be as vain to cry out against the acceptance of Louisiana. “We done expanded,” says Mr. Watterson. “No power can pull down the flag. It is there, and it is there to stay. The hand that is stretched out to withdraw it will be paralyzed the moment it lays its weight upon the staff that flies it. The party that equivocates will walk with its eyes wide open into another disaster such as attended the Democrats in 1861." The only person that ever talked for contraction with ability was Horace Greeley. His choice expression was, “Erring sister, go in peace.” HAL TO JAPAN. HE WILLINGNESS of Japan to do the main fighting in China, and the willingness of the other powers to have her do it, are significant, and show one very important effect of the result of the triumph of Japan over the Chinese in the late war. The nation just admitted to the map of the civilized powers has the progress, the courage, and the ability to be of great use in the settle- ment of the existing trouble, and she is prompt in accepting a very dangerous re- sponsibility. Her action also gives the | other powers greater freedom of judgment &f and makes it possible to do many important things without danger of collision of the interests of other nations. It is a new light in the east and it means better things. THOUGHTFUL, r, Pelican, if you're not very hungry will you excuse me a moment? I want to comicbooks.com
