THERE 1S TALK of moving the State capital of Pennsylvania from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. That is all right enough. But if it were a question of Philadelphia's moving to Harrisburg, ‘twould be a matter for future generations to wait until she got there. vee WHEN THINGS go wrong in Russia the first thing they do is to banish Tolstoi. Such is despotism. In this free and enlightened republic of ours one of the blessings, so far as Tolstof is concerned, is that no law exists compelling anyone to read his novels. J PIERPONT MORGAN thinks of rounding up the kings, czars, em- * perors, shahs, ahkoonds, and other potentates of earth into a mon- archy trust, which would effect an enormous saving in operating expenses, even thouigh it might throw a few majesties out of work. THE STORY OF LITTLE KED RIDING-HOOD, AS GRANDMA MOUSE TELLS IT. JUST PLAIN “WOMAN'S.” THE CONVENT is one of the names suggested for the new woman's hotel—or, rather, the new hotel for women—now building in New York; but probably it will be called simply what it is, The Woman's Hotel. That is not a fancy name, yet it is better than nun, DIDN'T KNOW THEY EXISTED. ‘TAMMANY DEMOCRATS say they are not acquainted with the gen- tlemen who have been selected as district leaders of the newly-organ- ized Greater New York Democracy. Of course! These leaders are re- spectable citizens, men of wealth and of social and business standing, con- sequently the “‘heelers” of the party have “never had no use for ‘em.”* WE IS. THE UNITED STATES JS, not are. In other words, the collective title of our Republic should be treated as a singular noun, instead of as a plural one. General John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State, and author of “A Century of American Diplomacy,” says so. He shows that the singular form is the usage of nine hundred and ninety-nine out of one thousand American citizens to-day —which is more effective than if he were able to prove this usage to be strictly correct and Constitutional, MEMORIAL Day. MEMORIAL DAY throughout the Southern States is April 26th, more than a month ahead of the same tender observance in the North. In spirit, however, the two are identical, the difference between the dates representing only the lead enjoyed by the Florida section over that of Maine and Oregon in the handicap of the floral seasons. The one flag waves over all, and blue and gray alike are merged in the common khaki of the veterans from Santiago and Ma- nila, Your hand, com- rade! and here's tomem- ory, liberty, equality, and fraternity. A GREAT INVENTOR GONE. AFEW SCANT PAR- AGRAPHS, with black scare-heads, in the yellow journals, chron- icle the death of Martin Van Buren Triplet, the original “gold- brick” man, who was an inven- tive swindler in the class that are called so. Trip- let never operated in Wall Street, but built up a flourishing business, founded strictly in confidence, amongst the agricult- ural population in various sections of the country. He died a poor man, though whether or not he laboriously achieved poverty by giving away his wealth in the form of libraries is not stated. There is something pathetic in the thought of how soon the world forgets a great inventor, even though his works live on after he is gone. The educational value, alone, of the gold-brick has been incalculable, and to this day is probably second only to that of “green-goods.” How many a deserving farmer has received his most impressive practical lesson in the ways of the world from a modest investment in one or the other of these two staple commodities! How many a young Napoleon of finance has qualified himself for the stock- exchange by preliminary operations with the auriferous cube! Verily, the world is ungrateful, unless Triplet gets a monument.
