The comments of the German news
papers upon the coghlan incident pro-
periy belong in the columns devoted to
hunor.
There is a young man in West Boyls-
ton who can explain negatively what
a "leadpipe cinch" is. 1t is what he
didn't have.
The Clinton man is not the only one
who has been brought to his senses
of late by The Spy. There are some in
this city who have been awakened
from oriental dreams.
When several thousand colored men
in the south form mob and torture,
hang and burn alive white man OF
two for assaulting colored women,
mankind may then possibly believe
there are two sides to the horrible race
war" question down there.
Secretary Hay has. expressed to Ger
many his strong disapproval of the
conduct of Captain Coghlan Of the
United states cruiser Raleigh" Of
course we all strongly disapprove Of 1t,
but somehow can't help feeling I'M
mensely tickled that Capt. Joe has
gone and done it,
Senator Lodge does not handy words
or mince matters in the May number
of Harper's Magazine, when he de-
scribes the fighting around Santiago.
Gen. shafter is not the only one in au-
thority who will ind poor consolation
in reading. this account of the military
operations in Cuba.
A reporter who interviewed Attorney
General Knowlton in New Bedford
found that he is superintendent of
Universalist Sunday school, has made
no alliance with either Speaker Bates
or Col. Guild and viii make none, and
that his only claims to preferment are
IAN honorable ambition and a loyalty
to duty" and his only platform that of
the republican party.
Hon. Stephen Salisbury's generosity
to the city takes practical shape again
in plans for the further identification
of Institute Park and the grounds of
the Art Museum. The park, for which
the city is entirely indebted to Mr.. Sal
isbury, will after his plans have been
fully developed, become one of the
most delightful spots in the country
Elihu Burritt's old home could not
well have more fitting commemora-
ton than the erection upon its site Of
a fine school house, as proposed. The
man who could pick up red hot horse
shoe and a new language with equal
facility, and who in his day hammered
at blazing iron while absorbing score
or so of foreign tongues should have
exactly that kind of a monument.
There were some pretty good winnings
at the Boston, horse. show, but two of
the largest piles were taken out of
town. Fatty Bates carried s2365 to
New York and J, S. Bratton 1885 to
st. Louis. There is partial consolation
to the Back Bay, however, in the fact
that Eben D. Jordan won the most
money, his share amounting to 1920.
Thomas w. Lawson Pink got only $780,
DR.. Brady announces that he will
handle Satan without gloves, and there
is little doubt of his perfect willingness
to make the attempt But Zamiel is a
red hot party and no one would wish
to see the doughty doctor get his hands
burned. Pious zeal, however, is a
splendid non-conductor of internal
heat, and DR.. Brady has seemingly
enough Of that to do away with the
need of asbestos mittens in the job
he is to undertake.
Early visits to the post office are
rather a feature of SUBURBAN life. Put
to call at 1.SO a. m, with nitro glycer-
inc, blow open the safe and walk off
with stamps and money, is altogether
too enterprising. This was done at Tx
bridge yesterday, and told exclusively in
The Spy The same morning. If Uncle
Sam gets hold of the early birds who
made this predatory visit, they viii
have a chance to rest in some nicely
barred retreat where letters are only
allowed to reach the inmates once a
month
Germany is a nice easy member of
