S A FIGURE-HEAD Mr. Olney is of about as much use to his party as a gargoyle would be to ared barn. THE DIETETIC FAD is reaching such pro- portions that we may shortly expect to hear that the cannibal king is demanding predigested missionary. NO TABLET has yet been put upon the mar- ket that will enable any kind of cast-iron political stomach to digest prehistoric and pre-senile Uncle David, whose nomination would be simply peanuts for the Democracy. THE SUMMER GIRL is back in town, And wears that tint of reddish-brown Which, shining on a slice of ham, Makes all good epicures salaam. cee ‘THE MORE DISTANT the view of the white-house, the less enchant- ment is felt to the square inch by the worthy who may fancy he is in a saw-mill while dreamily listening to the droning of the bonnet-housed presidential bee. 'HE TURK is a born and not a made murderer. The spirit of rapine is constitutional with him. Cutting the throats of helpless and inoffen- sive women and children seems to be a mere form of amusement to this bull-headed pachyderm. Out of his many crimes this infamous coward is slowly but surely twisting the rope which may yet swing him just high enough from the ground to make it impossible for him to kick any dust into the eyes of the spectators. It is to be hoped that he may be summa- SMALL CHANCES. t sez in this paper thot married people grow to look lolke wan another.” Thin it's shmall chance Ot'd hov av gittin’ another husband if ye should die, begobs!"" tily called to account for his late depredations at Beirut, where he proved himself to be an assassin among assassins. He should not be exonerated on the ground that he is a fanatic. The sooner that every such fanatic be put out of the way, like a rattlesnake or a mad dog, the better it will be for society. He is a prime factor in rebellion and in carnage of every kind and description. To all his thousand crimes he does not link a virtue. He should perish, as he has caused others to perish, and his destruction should waken a shriek of joy which, like Emerson’s shot, should be heard around the civilized world. And flowers should be omitted on general principles. THERE ARE many men who are Americans, in name only, who regard the eagle as the bird of freedom—on paper. They belong to that class whose existence proves the fact that there are Americans and Americans. They are a horde of lawless creatures who have no respect for their native land or its traditions that are dear to all patriots. They are advocates of lynch law, trust evils, and all the kinds of corrupt methods known in the bright lexicon of crooked politics. They are thick-necked plug-uglies who are a Tammany unto themselves. They chuckle with ineffable glee at the American eagle in the gilded cage which they have made for him, and in which they may soon supply him with a diet calculated to make him sing the kind of song that is more than dear to their hearts. In other words, they would commercialize the time-honored bird and serve him on the toast of graft. It is not a pleasant picture to look upon, and the sooner the cage is smashed and the eagle set free to drift among the stars, and to shriek the glory of American liberty and American institutions, the sooner will the followers of Jefferson and Jackson perform a saraband of hilarity and joy, which should cause the cohorts of graft and corruption to disinte- grate and scatter like so many drops of water on a red-hot stove. It is but just and proper that the dear old bird should be set free, and that the bribe- takers and political pickpockets should themselves be permanently caged. comicbooks.com
