No one need think of such a thing. The sinking surely wouldn't have occurred if George hadn't been there, no matter who did MARIE CORELLI says that Hall Caine prides himself on looking like the Saviour and likewise like Shakespeare. That is spiteful and mali- cious whether it is true or not; and as to that we shall never know, for Mr. Caine confesses, “* You know I cannot reply to Miss Corel THE FOOLISHNESS of some of the miners of the Cripple-creek locai- ity is as bad as their barbarity, if that is possible; but it seems to suggest that silver is the paramount issue. Let us hope, however, that the mistaken partisans will pause before they degrade our politics to the level of 4n English election. ‘THE GREAT WEST furnishes the spectacle of the aged proprietor of a ranch chasing his daughter and a dude lover, with whom she has eloped, armed with the amplest forgiveness and a cheque for ten thousand dollars which he proposes to give them if they will kindly return. And this prosperity and the good heart and glad hand prevail from one end of the country to the other. WHAT HE THOUGHT. ie Uxcux. $1 (who Aas wandered into a private park\—"* Jimminy crickets! this must be one of them air statuary grounds I've hearn about in divorce cases.” MR. CROKER AS A PREACHER. SOME OF THE ADVICE given by Mr. Croker to young men is good; but we hope the young men will not go back to Mr. Croker's early days to find practical examples of 4 the things they ought todo. Apparently there was no human- itarian to advise the gentleman in those far-off days, and thus it is the more generous in him to dispense wisdom and good- ness now, particularly as he doesn't get a cent for it. HE CANNOT LIE. ¢+PLATT IS A LIAR,” says Mr. Croker, “and he knows it.” Possibly Mr. Platt has exaggerated something at some time or other, but we feel sure he did it solely by accident. We do not believe he would purposely tell a lie; and it is doubtful if he would deceive anybody, whether by exaggeration, through his fertile imagination, or by the overt act of falsehood. Oh, let us have confidence in our fellow-men! Let us observe the amenities, ourselves. Let us say of Mr, Platt that all he needs to be a second or a third Washington is a little hatchet and a cherry-tree. POLITICAL BARBARISM FORTY YEARS AGO. HE BRYAN MOB in the Cripple-creek region that sought the humili- ation, if not the life, of Governor Roosevelt had nothing but blood to show on their own skin and garments for their ruffianism. The reader may recall the account. by Artemus Ward, at the beginning of the civil war, of a southern effort to “confisticate" his show. One man tried to confiscate the tiger, and the last seen of that man he was just ahead of the tiger. with a large part of his trousers in the mouth of the animal, and going as if he never meant to stop. “I guess they didn’t confisticate Aint much,” quaintly says Arte- mus of the tiger. THE FATTED CALF. “Tam glad to get back the old Democrats who wandered away. If Thad known so many were coming hack I would have made arrange: ments to have had manufactured a large number of candy faited calves to give to those who were return: ing, as evidence that the prodigal is welcome home."—Il". J. Bryan. THE ROLE OF HOST, or papa, hardly belongs to this gentleman. Asa Dem- ocrat of a few days’ tender- ness it is perhaps appropriate for him to dispense veal and the sweetmeats most appre- ciated by youth; but most of the prodigals have at heart such contempt for him that they wish none of his impudence or q generosity. ‘The brass of the burglar who ap- propriates the house as well as the goods in it, and then invites the ousted family to come to his sumptuous fare, is that of this anarchist, this repudiator of debt, this depreciator of honest money, this scoffer at the highest court, who proposes to welcome the prodigal to his own home. POPULISTIC THEFT AND IMPUDENCE. MBE: BRYAN is the candidate of the populists much more than of the Democrats, many of whom utterly repudiate him. “The radical riotions of the populists, if ever carried into effect in this country,” says William D. Hornblower, “ would reduce popular government to a position where we should be the laughing-stock of the nations, and would produce a reaction in the minds of the voters which would carry us far in the direc- tion of domestic imperialism, which I suppose will be conceded to be of vastly more moment to us and to our posterity than colonial imperialism. Indeed, the chief objection to colonial imperialism is its probable effect upon our domestic institutions.” The spectacle of the populists under the Democratic banner is humiliating as well as dangerous. Only a few years ago they were the laughing-stock of the Democratic party as well as of people of common sense the world over. “ Nothing could be more impertinent than their assumption of a right to the name their acquirement of which was a theft ard their use of which is the use of stolen property to which they can never acquire a pardonable right. It would be no worse for an organization of horse-thieves to steal the tents of a Methodist camp-meet- ing and occupy them in the name of the good people whom they had driven out of them. comicbooks.com
