POIkING FUN.

The New York Mail and Express is
wiling dull care away by indulging In
a little fun at the expense of the Vir-
ginia Legislature, and makes this OBJ
servation:
t'rhc Virginia Legislature pro-
poses TO tax dogs and bachelors.
There is also pcIiding Il bill to
prohibit flirting. The Mother of
Presidents must he rs poor ~
chapcron rs n matchmaker"
It is not telling tales out of school
TO say that there are q whole lot of
people in Virginia who do not agree
with either of the bills referred to,
but then its our business and not the
Mail and Express.
j our esteemed New York contem-
porary loves fun it can find any
amount Of it nearer home. There are
so many unsecmngly things done
right in its own bailiwicll that it seems
strange that it should go so far away
from home to find something with
which to indulge its favorite pas
time.

'TEiEADI.y RELATIONS; On a WAR
T;ss7S..'

Tho Atlanta Constitution Of the 25th
publishes an amusing picture in con-
nection wish s1ma remarks about the
United states hairi@ship Maine being
sent to Havana, and it styles 1T friend
~ relations on a war bass" The pic

with mammoth cannon run out. on
which is Uncle Sam sitting astride
holding in l,is LEFT hand behind him a
revolver, and mis- right hand extended

is extended as If in greeting, while be-
hind him. in his II it lis held a Spanish
stilieto. And who can say with any
degree of certainty that it does not we'll
represent the true condition of affairs,
the statement OF the Navy Department
20 the contrary Notwithstanding The
department explains that she sending of
the Maine to Havana SIS merely in the
line or 4 resumption OF n
free intercourse OF our naval
vessels in cuban waters" and so far as
the statement goes it is all very well,
but rs the old saying goes, 4hcy might
tell 1t TO the marines" very few others
will believe it.
lis a suav1 and diplomatic way of
put,ing the matter, ana :hcre is no
quarrel with the department for so do
ing, still tho sequel will develop some
thing different. They say that all is
duiol at Havana, and there is no dan
ger 10 iohc American residents of that
city, and therefore this is an oppor-
tune time for n friendly visit of one of
our war vessels Does any body be-
icve this? When was +; thm. the Amer
lean residents OF Havana were free
from danger from the beginning Of the
war, now going on in the island up
10 the present time?
The fact is thu administration at
Washington has about concluded that
the war in Cuba has gone about as far
as ii should go ana the opinion with
many people rs that the Maine goes
there ITO prctcH; Americans when the
lime of intervention comes A half n
dozen either warships are being kept in
readiness within a few hours sail to

The fact is, while everybody approves

ma, IT must be admitted that in so do
ing the Government has taken the first
