The sinking of the Merrimac by
Lieutenant Hobson has added a new
word to the English language. There
are number Of things which should
be Hobsonized, not to mention Grover
Cleveland's Toryism and the Pop par
tvs foolisms. London started the new
word on its rounds. The Telegraph
relates the incident that a river pas

dilapidated crafts ever seen. nearly
collided with a barge at London bridge.
The captain of the ancient vessel hurl-
ed emphatic and profane oral projec-
tiles Of the barge. the chief officer of

Mantle thus: Better take that old tub
out to sea and Hobsonize her!" The
Telegraph says that the retort was
greeted with a burst of appreciative
and sympathetic laughter aboard the
vessel thus characterized, and then it
assists to promulgate the word by
commenting in this wise: eff the ma

ROASTING LIES.

Lies never fail of coming home to
roost sooner or later. Spain has de-
pended upon lies and misrepresenta-
tons. This dependence has stood for
armies and munition, for ships and
credit. But Manila and Santiago can
no longer be worked as Spanish vic
tories. Even the French newspapers
are beginning to turn against Spain,
and the principal cause of the revul-
sion of feeling is that the Spaniards
have insisted on misrepresenting the
results of all battles fought in their at
tempts to delude their own people and
mislead European opinion. It is not
strange that France is getting her eyes
open. As late as last Monday a semi
official note was issued at Madrid in
which emphatic contradiction was
given of all the American reports of
operations in Cuba 1t was even denied

A BEAUTIFUL DOCTRINE.

Our progressive CD Pop friends are
going in for the whole thing. Pop in
SEPARATION is glorious idealization. The
individual is relieved of all personal
responsibility. A man under the ideal
Pop government wouldn't have to
know more than a baby, and the aver
age woman might be an all around
idiot. The government is to be all in
all and responsible for everything, a
government administered by class OF
men who get up in broad daylight and
standing in the full blaze of the Nine
teenth century, by resolution solemnIy
demanding that everything coming
under the head of public utility shall
be owned by the government. and that
every monopoly shall be operated by
the state. A laundry and grist mill,
a livery stable and a cobbler shop are
all public utilities while a Kentucky
Blue Jack is a distinct monopoly. Pop
doctrine would run the wash-tub and
compel the state to operate the pro-
genitor Of the mule. There is flavor
Of inconsistency and a spice of the
extreme in this Pop monopoly enter
prise and Pop utility economy. Their
demand for proportional representa-
ton is & scrap of nonsense from the
same piece Of cloth.
