POINTED COnnENT.
HENRY II. MULLIN
Editor and Manager.

To date, the situation in Kentucky
seems to be "hands off your guns, gen
tlemen."
We may expect Mr.. Bryan to make
another analysis of the election results
after the capture of Aguinaldo.
IF we are not mistaken in the man,
Mr. Goebel may yet fall back on the
Senatorship as a consolation prize.
In about three weeks President Nc.
Kinley, as Mr.. Cleveland cynically ex-
pressed it, will have Congress on his
hands"
So long as the Kentucky situation is
as bad as it is, it would be highly in
consistent for us to poke fun at the
South American revolutionists.
1t has been noticed that the Mary
land Democrats have refrained from
mentioning the Chicago platform or
''our peerless leader" III their jollifica.
tion meetings
From the fact that the Democratic
editors and orators have suddenly
shown admiration for the Hon. John
Sherman, we infer that the 'crime of
1878" has been condoned.

Colonel Watterson and the Courier
Journal are having hard time these
days. Between Goebel and Bryan it is
likely that the Colonel would prefer to
take to the woods.
1t was quite natural that the success
Of the Republican cause in Ohio should
result in renewed demand for the re-
tirement of Mr.. Hanna by the Demo
cratic newspapers.
Attorney General Griggs, when ap-
preached with the offer of Vice Presi-
dental nomination, said: ''No thank
you, robe and a seat on the Supreme
Bench would just about suit me-"
Aguinaldo has shown himself to be q
sprinter ofno mean abilities, and after
the war is over, our Post Office Depart
ment should provide "Aggie" with an
appointment in the rural free delivery
service.
New York State is to have a state
constabulary in charge of the police in
its cities, the head of which is to be
appointed by Governor Roosevelt.
How the Tammany Tiger must be
lashing his tail.
After Mr.. Bryan has recovered suffi-
ciently from his efforts in the Nebraska
campaign, he may find it desirable to
visit New York state again. His party
in the y-times-pivotal state is sadly
in need of vitalizing energy
Almost ten days have elapsed since
election, but Hon. Q. Schurz or Hon.
Blush Mason have failed to enlighten
the expectant Nation as to whether it
was a storm or just shower that over
took the Aunties.
Secretary Gage seems to be the right
man in the right place. In his annual
report the Secretary will recommend
the distinct enactment of the gold
standard, and will advocate as insepa-
fable thereto the need of providing an
adequate method of maintaining it.
1t is reported, but not as yet con-
frmed, that among the improvements
at the north end of the Capitol at
Washington will be a blushery for the
exclusive use of the Honorable Mr..
Mason, of Illinois, and the Honorable
r. P Pettigrew, of South Dakota.

The resignation of the New York
Evening Post and the New York World
10 the fate which the people have
thrust upon themselves, has about as
much consolation as the perfunctory
blessing Of the condemning judge
when he says: "And may the Lord
nave mercy upon your soul"

1t is said that Richard Croker will
spend the winter in England, where he
can once more hobnOb with his Royal
Highness, Albert Edward, and inclden-
tally recuperate his bank account by
judicious investments in racing pools.
These Tiger victories II Gotham
come nigh, but Croker needs them IN
