There is nothing like a new baby to reform a woman politician. 4* + + 4- Just think of Populist Pettigrew as a plutocratic railway manager! + + + -f Washington's murder mystery has resulted in an incredible confession that doesn't really confess anything at all. + + + + If a closed season isn't soon proclaim ed in the Philippines, there will be 110 rebels left to breed next year's game. t t The New York Evening Post, the great mugwump sheet, has discovered that Tammany has been robbing the city. + 112 + T How in the world will the Sultan be able to grind out his explanations now that he has abolished the typewriter girl ? X X After being, for so long, a terror to the pedestrian, the bicyclist is now taking his turn at being terrorized—by the automobile. + + + + A Kansas town has read the riot act to three families who have boen indulg ing in the crime of playing billiards in their own houses. What next? 112 + T t The powers have fallen back into their old habits of sending ultimatums to the Sultan. Somethings get to be second nature. + ♦ ► Senator Morgan of Alabama says that Mr. Bryan stood with one foot ou Dem cracy and one in the mud. There is no doubt at all about the mud. -r + + + China's method of paying her old debts by contracting new ones is by no means new. Somebody robbed Peter to pay Paul a few centuries ago. + + + + Mr. Bryan deplores the fact he will have a hard battle to keep his peculiar principles to the front in 1901, but the rest of the country, Democrats includ ed, welcome the difficulty. t + + T General Chaffee has been to work re pairing General Waldersee's lacerated feelings to such good purpose that the Kaiser is meditating forgiving us alto gether. X X The consensus of Republican opinion in regard so Mr. Babcock seems to be that he is suffering under a temporary aberration of intellect, but that he will convalesce if given time. X I Wisconsin has attempted to impose an export tax on ice Bent out of the state. It won't take the courts very long to slay this proposition when they get around to it. X i Large deposits of natural soap have been found in Wyoming. Now the only thing needful is a towl mine, and Wyoming will be well qualified to get rid of her tramps. 4- + + + Of course, Lipton has had lots of luck, but the chances are that it has been chiefly due to the fact that he didn't come up against the yankees until lately. X X J. J. Hill says that the only way to make money in stocks is to buy them outright. That is to say, to make money on the street one must be rich enough not to need it. Xt The pension attorneys now send run ners to meet the returning transports at San Francisco and pull the soldiers into their offices. Thus the pension roll grows. Xt What is the difference between Wall- Street brokers and green-goods men ? Neither takes any advantage of any one except those who are trying to take advantage of somebody else. t t Injunctions are necessary court weapons, but, all the same, that Ken tucky Judge who enjoined the collec tion of union dues and strike assess ments, struck at the very foundation of civil liberty and gave an excellent weapon to the foes of legitimate court processes.
