There are many fights in the world, but
the funding bill fight is our fight.
1t is time for grim-visaged warto smooth
his wrinkled front ana inquire where he is
at.
1t is now Salisbury's turn to go duck
shooting, and let the world wait for an
answer.
The first thing we know the Sultan will
be referring to John Bull as the 'sick man
of Europe"
Cesar had his Brutus, Charles l his
Cromwell and Cleveland has a partner
named Stetson.
Every now anu then Kaiser William
talks like a Napoleon and then stops to
listen to the echo.
The funding bill would put heavier tax
on California than Cleveland has done
with all his bonds.
Nothing can save Democracy, but to
bring the National Convention West
would help it little.
European nations that are spelling for a
fight should take notice that Turkey is
spelling for licking.
Congress should not forget that Cleve-
land investigation is one OF the things the
country expects of II. -
1t is good year in prospect at aoy rate.
for even some of the Solid EightAhow
signs Of improvement.
American engineers for American Shops
is good policy and the enforcement OF it
would make good law.
The Kaiser is to be congratulated on fur
nishing a sensation for the press with out
disturbing the fnanciers.
The fight for the Democratic National
Convention is one we can watch with
serenity, for San Francisco is not in it.
If the Turks object to our sending money
to the relief of the Armenians we had bet
ships.
The Democratic bosses may be receiving
sealed proposals for the Presidential NOM
ination, but there has been nc open bidding
as yet.
The protest of Supervisor King against
the preachers is another proof OF the say
ing OF Sam Jones, at is hit dog that
yelps."
There are signs OF cleaner City; the
rains have flushed the sewers and the Su-
pervisors promise to put an end to the fake
poolrooms.
Alfred Austin might have been a wiser
Emperor than William, but William can
beat him writing poetry and getting even
with critics.
Germany might be able to protect the
Beers from England, but she can never
save them from the growing aspirations of
Cape Colony.
The Milwaukee Press Club has made
Kaiser William an honorary member, so
whatever happens to his crown his social
position is safe.
The only movement visible anywhere in
the Democratic party is in San Francisco.
and that is a movement against itself
from both ends.
The Cubans and Spaniards should agree
on somebody to arbitrate the war dis
patches and put an end to this vexatious
conflict of reports.
The Senate wastes time in talking of
remonetizing silver SO long as there Is a
Cleveland in the White House and a def
cit in the treasury.
The phrase "wipe off the face OF the
earth" was once con sidered slang, but it
has now become the language of Con-
gressional resolutions.
Democracy continues to stare at the
third-term movement with the hopeless
air of a donkey on railroad track watch
ing freight train coming.
Henry George lays aside the single-tax
fad when he deals with Cleveland and
taxes the big bond-seller with almost as
many offenses as he has committed.
The Philadelphia Press says: "The
trouble with the free silver panacea is that
there is too much panic-see-a in it,"
That ought to end the controversy.
The wrong the funding bill would do to
California would be much greater than
any grievance South Carolina complained
of when she talked of notification.
The Cotton States Exposition made such
q reputation for the city that held it that
even Charleston thinks it worth while to
put in a claim to be "Atlanta's seaport"
A combination of protectionists and sill
yer men organized to pass a tariff bill with
a free-coinage rider is one of the things
unexpected that may happen to this Con-
gress.
Unlimited debate in the Senate is one of
