ICHARD OLNEY having espoused the cause @f Mr. Bryan, it is in- ferred that he may possibly vote this fall, for the first time in several years. F ANY political party foments strikes in order to improve its chances in a pending election, it should be buried so far out offsight that it would never be heard of again. % wee HE CHINE claim to represent the oldest civilization. They are more expert in their cruelty than our savages used to be; but surely there is no civilization in that. OHN FOORD says that what China most needs is to have her govern- ment placed in the hands of honest Chinamen. Let old Mr. Diogenes resurrect himself and buy a new lantern. MINISTER WU says he is not a liar and that he is as much a gentle- man as anybody else, Doubtless; but the gentleman should have seen to it that he was born and raised elsewhere than in China. WOMEN are not vain, but they have an irresistible curiosity to see how they look whenever they have the opportunity; and the man who invent- ed mirrors for bonnets will presently find himself a millionaire. eee OVERNOR ROOSEVELT alls attention to the fact that the dis- franchisement of negroes in the south amounts to their being governed with- out their consent, and Mr. Bryan, of course, shudders with indignation. eee OME GOLD DEMOCRATS have nominated Senator Caffery for president, but the slight formality of an electoral ticket is omitted by them. The Republican electoral ticket, how- ever, will answer their purpose as well. 'HE EXPIRATION of the Horton law ends prize-fighting in this state. Most of the pugilists will probably go on the stage but we observe that Mr. Fitzsimmons has taken to literature for the New York Journal, and Mr. Corbett has gone to Europe with somebody's wife, JUDGES FULL DINNER-PAIL.” This mammoth dinner-pail (fourteen feet high) led a procession of ten thousand American workingmen at the opening of the national Repub- lican campaign at Youngstown, Ohio, September 8th, 1900, THE WORKER AS AN ARISTOCRAT OUNG MR. HEARST is getting more ex- clusive and delicate every day. Thought of the full dinner-pail makes him ill, and his con- tempt for the average barber-shop grows. He can think of barber-shops only with stomachic qualms. They are associated in his mind and his liver only with hair and lather, and he is about to insist that every worker shall not only dine in full dress but shall have his private barber. This young man's affection for labor will presently make him ridiculous. FOR DOING RIGHT. THE UNIVERSITY of Rochester was bribed with fifty thousand dol- lars to admit women to its privileges, and Miss Anthony raised the money with the help of her fellow-citizens. That kind of bribery is per- haps legitimate, but we should think the university would be ashamed of it. Co-education is either proper or it is not, and the question is one with which money should have nothing to do. However, we should think that women with money to give to colleges would take particular pains to give =~ that believe in education for women as well as men. Fi THE ICE-ROBBERS. HE . SSOLUTION in the Democratic state convention condemning the icdtrust reminds one of the old cry of “Stop thief” by the man who did thejstealing; but the facts are known and will not be forgotten. ‘The trust ig the meanest yet organized, having for its object the.robbery of the poor and their deprivation of perhaps the article most necessary to their comfoft and health. And the most of the stockholders in that mer- cilessly greedy trust are the Democrats who led the convention, They are willing endugh to take the votes of the people they proposed to rob and leave to the mercy of the most intolerable heat a summer ever brought; but the /impudence involved in their seeking them has never been sur- passed. / H A HILL VICTORY? DAUD B. HILL and John B. Stanchfield were formerly law partners atxl have been close friends a good many y The ex-governor was badly beaten in the primaries this year, and if he had wanted Mr. Stanchfield nominated he would not have supported him. He would nat- urally have affected to desire the nomination of somebody else, knowing that his open support of anybody would be sure to bring about that per- son's defeat. His fight in the convention for Mr. Coler may have been sincere, but he knew it was fatal to Mr. Coler's success, Was Mr. Stanch- field his dark horse? Did he support Coler to insure the success of Stanchfield? Was that the “‘card up his sleeve" of which we have heard so much? And if that is the case was not Stanchfield’s nomination the cx-governor's victory? THE INEVITABLE DANGER. R. SCHURZ suggests that the ex- isting congress can legislate so as to defeat certain proposed action by the Democratic party if that party should happen to win in November. Almost any action would be proper to save the credit of the country from the danger with which Mr, Bryan threatens it; but the plain proposition that laws be en- acted to prevent what a majority of the people vote for is hardly honorable or in harmony with our system of govern- ment. Mr. Bryan might or might not try, however, to foist a silver basis on the government; the damage would be done by his election. The confidence of the world in the honor and credit of the government would be destroy- ed, and business would inevitably si fer very seriously, if the prosperity of the country were not absolutely destroyed. . There is nothing surer than that, or that Mr. Bryan and his party are not talking for sixteen to one merely for fun. And with the defeat of McKinley would prob- ably come a Democratic congress that might repeal any legislation of any pre- vious congress, comicbooksjcom
