The only true way to begin reform is
to find the source of error.-The Ame1i-
can
Old Gladstone has raised his voice a.
gainst the coercion of Greece; but, then,
Gladstone has nothing to say.
If senatorial dignity will stand IN the
way of hosslsm by Marcus Aurelius Han
ma, it will be forgiven many of its for
mer offenses.
"Populism Is sheer insanity" says the
Louisville Courier Journal. Popul1stic
opinion regarding Mr.. Watterson is I'M
doubtedly reciprocal.
Pride cometh before fall and a
naughty spirit before destruction. Cor
bett had plenty of the former and he
got all he wanted of the latter.
"He, that asketh, recelveth" is scrip
tural proposition that President Nc
Kinley has seen fit to ignore good deal
of late. Witness, Merriam, Hunt, Hub
bard, Listoe and others.
FitZslmmons, the champion pugilist
of the world, hstters himself on having
laid out three hundred men. We have
bull-pup that has wiped up the dust
with all kinds of ours. Now, what's
the difference?
Senator Teller will offer 40 obstruc-
ton to the passage of the Dingley bill
and hopes that the administration will
be given full chance to carry out it's
policy. "Plenty of rope'' is evidently
Mr.. Teller's program.
Once more are the theories Of the tenn
perance agitator shaken by the discovery
of a Chicago man who has smoked in
veterately and INDUCED in all kinds of
drinks and who has nevertheless reached
the ripe old age of LIP.
The Review is unable to see the JUS
tice of the Postmaster Generals decision
to allow all presidential postmasters to
serve out their terms. Just think min
ute. Some of the fellows who worked
so hard last fall IN hope of reward might
die in the meantime.
Senator Tom Platt has so far refrained
from introducing ofice-seekers to the
president and says he will adhere to this
policy in the future. He knows, that in
the case of the friends he wishes to have
appointed it isn't necessary. The noun
tain comes to Mahomet.
An agreement has been entered into
between Turkey and Russia, by which
the latter is to acquire several important
Turkish ports IN return for the assistance
rendered by her in the struggle with
Greece. And all under the shameful
guise Of maintaining the peace.
Senator Pettigrew CT South Dakota
will introduce an amendment providing
for the admission, free of duty, of all
articles of import that are subject to
trusts. Such an amendment might prove
effective i'll curtailing the power of these
accursed industrial monopolies, but it
Will never be enacted into law not
by the present administration at least.
With couple of more drubbings,
such as that administered by Fitzsim-
mons, young Corbett might yet find
himself truly entitled to be known as
".Gentleman JIM" The marked differ
ence in the tone of his letters, written
prior to and following the fight, affords
evidence that corporal punishment is
not altogether Ineffective as moral in
structor.
Senator Davis is said to he laying
plans for reelection. It's all Of no
use, senator. If your craftsmanship and
admirable conduct in the senate cannot
win for you the endorsement of your
party, there is no sense in trying any,
thing else; for just as sure as you do,
there are men in this state who can give
you cards and spades in the game of
politics and beat you anyhow.
