EDITORIAL nENTION.
Emperor William's effort to keep
the newspapers from printing his
remarks shows that he is not en
tirely lost to all sense of the ridi
culous.
Tammany is said to he very an
gry over Josiali Flvnt's revelations
in regard to the dishonesty of its
New York government. Yet there's
nothing new ahout this.
Before very long, New York ex
expects to do away with the horse
cars in her streets, thus following
the example of every ten-cent town
in the country.
A Missouri man owns a rope
with which nine negroes have been
lynched. Presumably, it might be
well if a jury would get him on his
own string.
It's hard to cipher out the rights
and wrongs as betweeu valet Jones
and lawyer Patrick, but the jury is
likely to make little mistake in
holding a double necktie party.
The circulation of the Commoner
in the east has fallen to nothing.
Every bookstore has piles of unsold
copies: but few take the trouble to
order new oiu-s. So with all freak
publications.
While Mr. Johnson is waiting
for other cities to adopt three cent
stri-et ear fares, he might begin by
giving them to Johnstown, Pa.,
where he owns the entire street car
system.
Now Indianapolis is having bad
boys whipped instead of fining their
parents. It is to be hoped this ex
ample will be followed, no matter
what weak-kneed sentimentality
may say in opposition.
Southern Democrats declare that
the next nomination must come
east though they are willing to take
a middle west man in the second
place. Still, when the candidate,
whoev T lie may be, will be so soon
done for.it seems a question what
he is to Le begun for.
This trust question will solve
itself sooner or later. When the
present consolidation mania has
gone so far as to organize the uni
versal trust —and few can doubt
that it will go that far in time—
who questions that the people will
simply confiscate the whole thing
and run it as a co-operative com
pany ?
11 is difficult to see what the Doer
leaders hope to gain in their suit in
New < (rleaus to prevent the dis
patch of mules thence to South
Africa. It has long been an axiom
that no neutral trade that is allow
able in peace is prohibited in war,
—although it may be subject to
confiscation by a belligerent.
Ootn Paul says that the British
have exaggerated the number of
She Boers, in order to save them
selves from the humiliation of
admitting how small a number has
been holding them at bay. How
ever, it is more reasonabe to ac
count for it by the universal ten
dency to exaggerate the number of
one's opponents.
