REMARKS
BY LEDRU B. KINNEY

The Salvation army needs some salve.
The boom of many a favorite son this
year is tremendously apt to prove
boomerang.
His name implies that Menelik did it
and could do it again if necessary.
Senator Tillmans pitchfork does not
seem to have put anyone on the horns OF
the dilemma thus far.
The Boer of that African gun was trifie
too large for the British to look down into.
The charitable giving of $40 bill would
throw an \ ray on many darkened home.
Owing to the near approach of the revo-
Iutionists, the capital of Cuba appears to
be in a state of Havanarchy.
Alfred Austin continues to write his own
obituary poems. He must be an amusing
cuss to the muse OF poetry.
After reading the house resolutions on
Cuba we cannot but acknowledge that
Spain was Hit.
There is a movement on foot to make
the bloomer question an issue in the COM
ing campaign.
The long and glamorous absence of
Nansen fills us with the dread apprehen-
sion that perhaps the north pole might
have fallen on him.
The latest, up-to-date. fin de steele
jokelet that has got loose is the witty little
remark that a Chicago girl got there with
both feet.
There is a possibility that those Spanish
students may get some of the American
stripes across their backs as a result of
their unfiagging, burning patriotism
1t is really too bad to unfeelngly poke so
much cruel fun at the favorite sons of '96.
Pity cries out in unmistakable tones that
they have "trouble enough of their own"
Sometimes after a brown study an editor
with his blue pencil paints things red or
produces an article that is the pink of per-
fection-calsng other editors to turn green
with envy.
The peerless lee-puller of the body pub.
lie, Ivette Guilbert. raked in. the handsome
little pile of $34 900 in her sev eral weeks
engagement in America. Decollete songs
come high, but we must have them.
1t will be just like some Yankee to secure
Menelik as dime museum attraction and
make big fortune for himself and for this
African carver who made macaroni of the
descendants of those noble Romans of the
sky-blown past.
To postpone in the senate action on the
Cuban resolutions until Apri! 9th does not
convey the idea of the game to the Ameri-
can people. An inkling of the purport of
the postponement would be more clearly
given by fixing April lst as the date.
Uncle Toms Cabin in the regular an
nual tour of its century run, again took the
town by barn.storm last week. Poor little
Eva She is just as small as ever, but her
hair has assumed slight tinge of gray and
there seems to have fled the old, rippling,
girlish voice of other days.
The news comes sighing over the wires
OF another cyclone in Kansas last week.
We have been tenderly cherishing the
thought that there would be change for
the better when Mary Lease entered the
pulpit. Alas! even our sweetest and fair
est hopes in this world must also go glIm-
mering among the things that we're and
"were for mighty little time" All. Kan
sas! Kansas!
Senators, politicians, professions, rel-
Rious organizations fact all individuals
and masses of people are at the present
time reveling in fights or are aching to go
on the warpath. The astounding excep-
ton is the prize fighter. In this era in pug
dom there is more blowing than blows, the
only mill is the windmill and the putting up
of props is not now considered proper by the
'profesh.'
That swat!
