THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Grover has had his say, and now he must
listen.
The message is mud. Can you wade
through it?
The Eight are not so solid but what the
Grand Jury can rattle them.
Hill did not get off the lecture platform 4
until it slipped from under him.
Tell your girl there viii be beauty in the
Horse Show when she gets there.
Long as Cleveland's message is he didn't
succeed in telling all that he doesn't know.
As Peary wishes to return to the Arctic
again he seems to have the habit frozen on
to him.
Unless you work hard for good NUM-
cipal government you must pay high for
bad one.
Clevela nd's verbosity bears about the
same relation to his ideas as his corporosity
does to his brains.
Now that Dana has made a speech in
favor of free Cuba Cleveland may as well
be counted on the side of Spain.
The anti-poolroom ordinance hangs fire,
but all the same the takers will find things
getting hot for them before long.
The Republican Congress cannot rid the
country of Cleveland, but it may be ex-
pected to put an end to his deficit.
The nomination of Crisp for the speak
ership was q compliment SO idle it was not
worth employing even as pastime.
It is one of the parodoxes of this world
that the less harmony there is in a commu-
nifty the more music there is in the air.
The supervision of Cleveland's foreign
policy depends on the Senate, and unfor-
tunateiy the Senate swings on Populist
swivel.
Carlisle's estimates show very few and
small appropriations for California, but
perhaps our Congressman can raise them
a little.
Consider the present administration OF
municipal affairs and then think what it
would be if we had Buckley combination
added to X.
Not in vain the promise flashes there
shall be reforms galore, when the Ash
worths are worth ashes and the Buckleys
buck no more.
If Cleveland intended his words to con-
ceal his thought it was hardly necessary
to pile up such heavy haystaek to hide
such a pointless needle.
1t will help the public health if the
Grand Jury can get up some indictments
that will stick like porous plasters and ap-
ply them in the right places.
1t is asserted that Indiana Populists
wish to nominate Debs for Governor, but
Debs is too well pleased with liberty just
now to crawl into hole like that.
Although the cold season has barely
begun Eastern experts estimate that more
of the United States is now covered with
snow than at any time last winter.
Nothing shows the weakness of local
Democracy more conclusively than the
fact that it cannot shake off such an old
back number barnacle boss as Buckley.
In the present state of public opinion
the attack on the rascals who are trying to
hold the fort in the City government will
be not a forlorn hope but a storming party.
The bright particular stars of football in
the East this season are Thorne of Yale
and Brooke of Pennsylvania, and next to
Tom Reed they seem to be the biggest men
on the Eastern horizon.
The announcementtha that Yale and Prince
ton each received $i4, 900 from the proceeds
of their recent football game ought to put
an end to the old theory that college train
ing doesn't fit man for moneymaking.
It seems there are some Supervisors who
cannot distinguish between the legitimate
sports at Ingleside Park and the frauds of
the fake poolrooms downtown, but per-
haps they are only trying to fool the
people.
No taxpayer should fail to read the evil
dence now coming to light in regard to the
way the street work has been done. The
facts are interesting in themselves and
moreover to the taxpayers they mean
business.
With the funding bill before Congress,
the Railroad Commission in the courts, the
Solid Eight before the Grand Jury and the
Street Superintendent on tenterhooks, we
have fights enough on hand to enable us to
dispense with gloves for some time to
come.
If the Jewelers' Review is correct in esti-
mating that during the last twenty-five
years over ten tons of diamonds have been
added to the worlds supply they must be
so common now that no fastidious woman
will expect her husband to get her any
