THE veterans flag floats to the breeze
after all.
BISMARCK was beaten in the Rechstag
yesterday. Wool did it. !
THE Tewksbury investigation is rival
ing the Star Route trial in length.
BUSINESS is revivng, and the most
liberal advertisers will get most custom.

BLISS blssful ways for seven days bis
tered the jury For particulars see Inger-
soil.
IT was well l-played game yesterday, but
the Nationals were again beaten. Have to
try again.
WE seem to have jumped right from win
ter into summer. There has not been
much spring
PAYMAsTER WATSON robbed himself and
then told all about it. A court-martial
will consider his case.
COMMISSIONER WEST thinks the T rail
will be no greater nuisance than the dat
rail. Those who have seen it tested think
differently.
THE Fair divorce case promises to be sem
sational The Senator "deniges" the
charges, and the wife seems to be ready to
get big mad on.
THAT sensational story about Commits
sioner Marbles resignation turns out to be
all bosh. Secretary Teller says there is
nothing in it, and he ought to know.
- THE consular reports from Ireland tell
tales of woe and distress unequaled in
many century. The accursed rule, of
Britain fosters only poverty and crime.
SHOOT your winter clothes aud go get
more seasonable garments; bnt you will
find it to your advantage to first consult
the advertising columns of THE CRITIC.
SO BREWSTER is not to speak in the
much. He sees the handwriting on the
wall, and wants Merrick to shoulder the
failure.
IF you want the best spring and summer
goods, at the fairest prices, consult the ad-
vertising columns of The CRITIC. The
most entcrprising merchants advertise in
this paper.
THE Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore american is a regular pilferer of
news. He takes items bodily from TIE
CRITIC and incorporates them in his cor
respondence without word of credit.
WE ARE glad to welcome so powerful an
ally as the Post in our warfare upon John
w. Thompson's bobtail car nuisance
Thompson can afford to run better and
more comfortable cars, but he is too stingy
THE New York Sun devotes half col
umn of its editorial side to discussing en-
ployment for Mr.. Vauderbilts leisure. 1t
makes some valuable suggestions that Mr.
v. might heed with great credit to himself
TIE CRITIC hopes Kennedy will beat
Hanlan, but there are moments when
doubts creep in and act like wet blanket,
as it were, on the aforesaid hopes. 1t has
been all arranged for the 31st prox., and
may the best man win.
IT is safe to say that the gallant General
Crook knows what he is about and will
violate no treaty in his operations in Mex
leo. If he will only slaughter the Apaches
the two Republics will rise up and call him
blessed. And his success will be further
bond of peace.
THE dismissal of Colonel Perry Carson,
under the circumstances, was an outrage
He was no more at fault, if half as much,
for the escape of those four prisoners, as the
Marshal himself. 1t was the system and
the badly-barred windows that were to
blame, not Carson.
If Sammy Tilden should be elected Presi-
dent, Count William Tilden" could set up
little tinsel court right here in the White
House, or in the White House lot How
nice it would be for the dudes to have real
American Count in their midst whom
they could fall down and worship.
THE sons of William Tllden, brother of
The Hon. Samuel, had an estate of two and |
a-half million dollars left them, which |
they proceeded to squander with great in |
dustry. And now that there isn't much
left the matter has got into the courts. |
There is probably very little of the Tilden
blood in them.
THOUSANDS of ex-soldiers aud Others |
will be in the city next week to attend the |
reunion of the Army of the Potomac Let |
each and all of the veterans have a
glorious and hearty welcome so that here
after they will be anxious to return. This
city is really the proper place for the re-
unions of what remains of this grand army.
The police officers who took down the
veterans flag on Monday were not to blame.
The censure must rest upon the gentleman
from Egypt who ordered the flag down.
But hold on. Perhaps the gentleman from
Egypt was not altogether to blame. He
may have been persuaded against his will
by the ex-Confederates he is gathering
around him as his confidential advisers
that the wounds of the war would be
