REMARKS
BY LEDRU B. KINNEY.

Those presidential bees are Juns bugs.
"All roads lead to Rome" It's good
thing they do. The retreating Italians
needed them all.
Corbett has not said anything since yes
terday. Is it possible that Fitzsimmons
has consented to fight him?
1t is exceedingly appropriate that Gov.
vania.
Senator Sherman seems to have recoa-
nized the belligersncy of Senator Hale be-
fore proceeding to the Cuban resolution.
There are several indications which lead
us to suspect that Lord Dunraveu was
loaded above the regulation champagne
line.
Things 80 look now that should relief
expedition be organized to find Nansen q
bigger job would be on hand than the find
ing of the north pole.
1t is now almost time for the novel to put
in appearance in which the RoentRen ray
plays the important and decisive part in q
wild and hair-lifting plot.
AS a result of the "honeyed' words Of
favorite sons, presidential "bees" are
waxing numerous. These bees are very
fond of the 'clover" SO well known in
campaign songs.
Those Spanish students seem to have
been SO badly ratified and 80 thoroughly
resolved to cast aside for the time all stud
les that even the reading of the riot act
was objected to.
"Innocuous desuetude," which President
Cleveland often refers to, has got in its
deadly work again. just now Crispi is
saying just about as much as Crisp said at
that Reform Club banqu ct some time ago.
Dispatch from England: After few
eloquent congratulations to be given him
by prominent lawyers in a large court
room that has been secured for the occa-
sion, DR., Jameson will continue his tour of
ovation and then shortly enter parliament.
Yesterday man down in Texas pro-
claimed that he could completely solve the
financial problem. At last accounts he
was resting easy, but it is affirmed that his
chances for recovery are pathetically slim
and all-tired scarce.
If appropriations for national defenses
are not soon forthcoming. the old senti-
ment must need be reversed and weeping
Columbia must needs say that she has mot
one cent for defense, but millions for
tribute.'
That genius who invented the "bullet
proof" coat seems to have looked for tall
grass and found it since the tuneful bullet
has become unpleasantly numerous on
many late battlefield. He Ia tho stillest
man of all this world.
certain professor, by means Of Roent-
gen rays, has obtained the picture Of Bos-
ton girls thought. No doubt the professor
will required a canvas the size Of that used
in portraying the panorama of some great
battle in order to represent picture of the
whole thought of this Boston girl.
During the late rain, when the moisture
was coming down with wild swash that
just swamped things, the white flag which
signifies ''clear weather" could be seen
floating from the pole of the local weather
bureau. If the bureau prophets cannot
get next to their job they are at least de-
termined to go down with colors flying.
If the New York cat show had been post
poned till Nansen's return polecat might
have been found among the explorers
trophies, which would have added consid-
erable attraction to this feline exhibition.
Yet it must be acknowledged that the
Tammany tiger answers all requirements
as polecat by an overwhelming exact
ness.
That would-be fobber who last week near
rulare attacked a train in tender place
is mot dead" but blown hence. 1t does
seem as though by this time enough
evidence has been collected to prove that
lingering in the neighborhood of loaded
shotgun is not exactly conducive to health.
But alas! the number of ways by which
come people can persisl in making asses
of themselves will probably continue to be
countless as long as the world endures.
There is a bare possibility that the Eng
lish troops in their Egyptian campaign
may be an-Nile-lated. The old firing ex-
preston, "Soldiers, from the tops of yon-
der pyramids forty centuries look down
upon YOU" has lost some of its inspiration
and gloss since Kruger and Menelik have
commenced making things lively in the
thought cannot but arise that perhaps
There are Others.n
