Nor content With defaming our
modest oyster, quarreling with our
beef and excluding our pork and
wheat, our amiable British friends
have begun war on our cotton. The
only case that they can make against
it has nothing to do with its quality.
That is beyond their reach. They
pretend, however. that it is poorly
pressed and inferior in that respect to
cotton from India and Egypt. 1t is
evident that our neighbor is not will

IT is to be hoped that the pope Is
not dependent for his livelihood upon
the new record breaking 971-carat
diamond that is said to have been
sent to him by the president of the
Transvaal republic. 1t is not so

the alleged gift as the improbability
of tho story that prompts the hope.

THERE is nothing French about the
Kentucky duel. Usually the princi-
pals do not talk long before the en-
gagement, and usually they are not
able to talk about the trouble after
the shooting begins. The Kentucky
duel, like the favorite Kentucky bev-
erage, is warm and does it's work
effectively.

UNDER the laws of New Jersey
fogging is prohibited In the public
schools. This, perhaps, is the reason
why the principal of Paterson school
has been arrested for beating his wife
until she is black and blue. There
are teachers who must take it out of
somebody, and if they are not allowed
to expend their irritablity on pupils
they are disposed to expend it on
members of their own family.

THE desire of Cubans to free their
island from the yoke of Spain has
reached a degree of intensity that
means revolution. In the inevitable

the Cubans in line with most of the
peoples OF the Western hemisphere,
money will be contributed by the
large colony of Cubans who are in
successful business in New York.
