BOILED CHICAGO EDITOR

| This being Thanksgiving. q festival at which
good eating has q well-recognzed place. there is a
certain poetic propriety in referring at such a
| time to a now dish designed for the delectation
of the cultured palate. The dish in question Is
boiled Chicago editor II Is not to be con-
founded with "Chicago dressed meat OF which
we hear 80 much. Carter Harrison. Mayor Of
Chicago, introduced the dish to the attention OF
the Nineteenth Century Club at its meeting on
Tuesday evening last. Speaking of the editors Of
the great city over whose destinies he presides,
the Mayor remarked. "Boil them all into ono
and they couldn't govern Chicago as well as l. .
The members Of the club doubtless were so greatly
impressed with the vision OF boiled editor, were so
given up to wondering how editors served up in
that style tasted that they lost sight of the shrink
ing modesty of the Mayor.
Roast editor is not uncommon. Every we'll
equil ped newspaper Office contains q good stout
gridiron on which esteemed but cring contem
poraries Occasional ly roased-roasted for their
own good roasted for the furthcTance Of the
public veal roasted more in sorrow than In
anger. But boiled editor is another thing. To
the honor OF the craft be it recorded that its men,
bers draw the line at boiling Mr.. Fitch in his
recent admirable course Of lectures on Journalism
at Cornell unable to mention many as o
single instance of enc editor boiling another. 1t
lines of Mayor HarTison's sreech that no has de-
termned to treat his friends to banquet OF
boiled Chicago editor in any member OF the
fourth estate cndcsvors to get the delegates away
from him in his canvass for reelection. II the
conjecture prove to be correct, there Is certain to
be an eager demand for invitations to the feast

jaded voluptuary who declared that he would
gladly divide his fortune with the man who would
set before him new dish died too soon. seeing
that he did not live to pass his plate for some Of

1t is understood in select gastronomic circles
that the Mayor contends that boiled editor
differs from another boiled editor in nutritious
ness. He Is OF the opinion for example, that the
average Democratic editor is tough that you
have to boil him at least thirty-six hours before
he is nt to be carved, On tho other hand the
Mayor points out that your editor OF third party
paper is fresh that he boils all to shreds in
fifteen minutes. Hence the Mayor advises that
this variety OF editor be worked up into Jelly
he thinks his pedal cxtremities when properly
prepared make unequalled calls foot jelly. 1t is
readily to be inferred when one has excluded
these two sorts of editors from his calculations
that the Mayor is convinced that the juciest. best
favored, gamest editors who can be boiled are
Republicans. We feel the mole free to note the
Mayors choice since, never having banqucted
boiled editor of any Sort our own palates ale abb

1t was whispered at Demonco's yesterday that
President Cleveland had teegraphcd Mayor lar-
rson that nc would be most happy to assist him
in boiling any editors whom he desired to serve
