The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1899-09-14

still fresh in the minds of English warriors The
Doors are mere bagatelle compared to England,
but their courage and craftsmanship unquestion-
able and when in the event of war; each man will
face death unfinchingly and uncomplainingly.
JOHN BULL seems to be working harder than a
boy climbing creased pole for ten dollar BILL to
bring his whiskers to him as a humble supplicant
ROOSEVELT is playing fast and dealing the cards
too rapidly for some of the politicians of New York
They can't tell whether he has the cards stacked
is merely blufing.
To PERs1sTENTLY rummage for the invisible
shortcomings in others, betrays vulgarity and
baseness of human vileness that is often condoned
but never forgotten
MCKINLEY has officially announced that he would
not be present at the Dewey reception. Bully for
you Mack. But in you did 60, you would be
as unnoticed as green pumpkin in a field.
Hurrah for Dewey.
IT is said that Mckinley is holding off on the
establishment of stable government for the Cubans
until desirable material to compose the alderman Of
Havana is forthcoming. They must think that
Chicago has slid into Lake Michigan.
MORMoNs are already propagating their religion
in the Philippines. If they succeed in getting the
females together perhaps Uncle Sam will then be
able to handle the males The visitation of these
Mormons is rather timely, all things considered.
SINCE John D. Rockefeller, the oil king, con-
trbuted $25OOOO to Brown university may ex-
pect that the dear people will be done up brown for
this philanthropic abortion Those oil chaps as
sleek cells and as foxy and hungry potato bugs
SOME Of the eastern yellow journals doing
their level best toward booming the Carter court
martial proceedings Although it may never rival
the Dreyfus affair; STILL if lola should emerge from
the Wilderness it might attain the speed of billy
goat.
EX-CONGREssMAN Bourke Cochran, of New York.
has written an open letter to Mckinley suggesting
that the United States act in friendly meditation
between England and Transvaal. Suffering gun
boats! Has Cochran forgotten that still exists in
the Philippines?
ANDREW CARNEGIE has renounced his allegiance
to America. Considering that he has taken
out his naturalization papers, there will be little
difficulty in arranging matters so as to enable him
to swap stoges with Waldorf Astor before the
snow birds appear.
ST. LOUIS mig ht we'll organize ant-water
society plausible than any anti
liquor league on earth. When the Chicago microbes
mix with those of Kansas City and St. Louis, the
old Mississippi will 60 such jag that serpents
may be expected instead of snakes.
The horticultural society of Minnesota offers
one thousand dollars for apple that will stand the
climate in this state. We know the exact locality
where such apple can be found; and it's in Will
liam Jennings Bryan's neck. Steady, steady there.
Just donate the money to the deserving poor
The famous Ruskin colony, reorganized
the Ruskin commonwealth has moved from it's old
site at Ruskin, Tenn, to a location at Duke,
Ware Co., Georgia. The colony now numbers 268
tried and true co-operators. They have paid for
their site in full and also own the Coming
Nation and the machinery for carrying the
various industries
EVANGELIST SANKEY, Of PASSPORT, N. Y. has
entered vigorous protest against the duck ranches
at that place, saying that they menace to the
public health. If King Solomon was still living
Mr. Sankey would certainly condemn his ranch of
wives. We think that he is trying to get corner
on the ducks.
AGAIN must Dreyfus suffer martyrdom through
