[7 1S POSSIBLE that China is at last conscious of her strength, but it rather looks as if she had forgotten the information. NIKOLA TESLA claims that power can be safely stored in ice; but the Tammany stockholders who have tried the experiment say he is dead wrong. ‘THE LOCK-STEP has been abolished at Sing Sing and Tammany hall. Dave Hill and others couldn't be kept in line and time with the leader of the gang, one Croker. [7 1S NOT singular that Mr. Godkin should prefer Bryan to McKinley. It has long been Mr, Godkin’s habit to turn to the lowest depths for relief and to look upon relief as the bitterest of all medicine. HE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE for president of the United States fell down stairs the other day and was seriously injured. If elected, Brother Woolley ought to prohibit root-beer and ginger-pop. THE MAIN BUSIN of the dismemberment and rehabilitation of China will be to keep the allies from fighting themselves instead of the enemy. Things are very much mixed, and the danger of the effort to straighten them out would exceed the original one if that were possible. GENATOR INGALLS took very much to heart his enforced de- parture from the senate. Had he been wiser he would have been more discreet, and been happier and lived longer. It is a pity that these mistakes should be made, but it is far easier to make than to recover from them. CHINESE POLITICIAN says he can see no reason why one nation should seek to force its relig- ion on another nation. The United States is seeking to force nothing upon the Chinese. The right of belief and discussion belongs to everybody, however, and it is das- tardly to murder men and women for insisting upon their share of it.

FoR THE FIRST TIME in the history of national American politics a cartoon paper 4 has given a great political party the emblem, the % key-note, the chief rallying-cry of a campaign. | Mr. Grant E. Hamilton, art editor of JUDGE, did the business with his full dinner-pail, and it was promptly adopted by the national committee and the various state committees, and by the leading Republican newspapers of the entire country. It has had the honor of the ‘opposition of the entire Democratic press, which was prompt to see the danger of it, and it has been a topic of general discussion on both sides of the political avenue during the progress of the debate. Never before has an idea had such thorough possession of the press and the people, and its importance increases as we near November. Mr. Gillam’s tattooed man was very successful in Puck, but here in a single line is the text of all the business interests of a great people, and its use is equivalent to a pres- entation of the vital matters to be settled in November next. Surely “a drop of ink makes millions think,” and Mr. Hamilton has wrought better than any other individual in the land. The papers of this and several other towns have given the publisher of the JUDGE credit for this brilliant stroke of political argument, but it belongs solely to Mr. Hamilton. We Je As A CHANCE FOR OLDER BEDFELLOWS. A COUPLE aged over eighty years, living at Nunda in this state, will separate because one wants castors under the bed-posts and the other doesn’t. It ought to be possible, with that hint, for Hill and Croker to get up a reasonable quarrel and separation over an entirely new grievance. IS WORK BRIBERY? E ARE a little surprised at the conclusion of the Baltimore Sun that the inmates of almshouses and jails get their meals regularly, as do swine and cattle, and that therefore full meals are bribery and means to the purchase of men and women. The point is not worth discussion, but it is quaint and curious enough to warrant a thought of the man who is out of work and can’t get either a full meal or a brief one. TREASON. MB: BRYAN talks treason when he suggests to the revolutionists of the Philippines, however indirectly, that they had better keep fighting, for if he is clected he will call an extra session of congress and have the war called off. Probably his election would re- sult in no such influence over congress, and an invitation to the enemy to keep fighting is a call _ to the shedding of American blood that no con- » tingency can palliate or excuse.
