THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL
=---==-e----- ---.----------------s--=----.
Salisbury may send the Kaiser an ul-
timatum by way of reciprocity.
Cuban independence lies in Havana and
to capture the one is to gain the other.
Arizona and New Mexico should follow
Utah into statehood and follow closely.
A Cleveland bond issue cannot be put
into better odor by calling it popular
loan.
One of the things that speaks loudest at
this time is the way that France is not
talking.
Utah should put her young men to the
front in the Senate if she wishes to come
to the front herself.
The Kaiser could watch England better
if he did not have to overlook Alsace and
Lorraine in doing it.
Europe has often carried war into Africa,
but this time it looks as if Africa might
carry war into Europe.
1t seems certain that as long as Cleve-
land is in office the endless chain of deficits
and bond issues will go on.
With the load Cleveland has piled on it
the Democratic donkey Will never have
strength enough to buck him Off
If ever Victoria felt like spanking one of
her grandchildren the time IS right now
and the fellows name is William.
In the shuttle OF politics Hawaiian
annexation has turned up again in Con-
gress and may prove to be trumps.
In the present situation of European
affairs it would seem that if Russia wishes
anything she has onlyto ask for it.
Talking the funding bill to death would
not be as good as killing it by a decisive
vote, but it will do in an emergency.
While the Kaiser talks as the arbiter of
Europe the world is beginning to pay at
tention to the way the Car saws wood.
The reports of the recent battles around
Havana make it evident the Spaniards
have succeeded in holding the telegraph
line.
California will have enough to do paying
her share of the Cleveland bonds with
out having to pay funding bill bonds as
well.
The third-term movement doesn t make
much progress, but it makes more than
any other movement in the Democratic
camp.
The Senate should remember that in
speaking of the emergency tariff bill the
emphasis should always be put on the emer.
gency.
The war furry viii not be without its
good effects, for it has inclined the Senate
to favor large appropriations for coast
defenses.
The Philadelphia streetcar men are talk
ing of another walkout and of course
everybody in the city has TO get ready to
walk also.
A British Minister sent to German Po-
land would be good enough recognition
of the favor of a German Minister in the
Transvaal.
The one consolng feature of the politi-
cal situation is that the people will have
chance to vote on Clevelandism before the
year is over.
To the Democratic party Clevelandism
is like porous plaster that was easy to
put on but won't come off again without
taking the hide with it.
Jefferson Democracy was very good De-
mocracy and Jackson Democracy was fair.
but Cleveland Democracy is very poor De-
mocracy and that's why the Democrats
swear.
General Campos complains the Cubans
never stop long enough to be overtaken,
but he forgets he never stopped himself
until he got the intrenchments around
Havana.
The speakers who had to respond to the
toast to Cleveland at the Jackson banouets
must have had some difficulty in refrain
ing from the old quotation about Hyperion
and the Satyr.
The notable feature of the Democratic
banquets on Jackson's day was the attempt
of the cuckoo orators to put Cleveland in
Jackson's shoes without losing him dur
ing the operation.
AS it is reported from London that
peace in the Transvaal is assured the war
ships and troops which England is send
ing to the Cape are probably intended
only to celebrate it.
The Government is having much better
success with big guns than with armor
plate, and war promises to continue more
favorable to those who do the shooting
than to those who are shot at.
