Only King Edward and society
queens have a right to shift their
birthdays.
Ex-Governor Hogg has returned
to face his constituents in Texas who
are not royalists.
The title of ssDoc," it is now held,
fits only the man who years a plug
hat with q sack coat.
The Southern League will oon
open it's gates, and then all will
know that the out-doorseasonhas ar
rived.
The Castellanes have a son, and
the Gould millions Will after a while
be subject to more drafts from
France.
Now that Freddie Funston has
been taken out into the woodshed it
is to be hoped public business in the
Senate can proceed without further
interruption.
Really, the fire insurance trust
shouldn't object to the public holler-
ing Just a little bit; for hollering
sometimes relieves pain to a certain
extent, even if it doesn't remove it.
A Baltimore court has decided
that when a woman strikes a man
he may int back. But II she strikes
him for one Of these high-priced
spring gowns he may be too weak
to respond.
General Gordon has good grounds
for a damage suit against the Angus
ia Herald. That paper, in connec-
ton with the Dallas reunion story
publishes a picture OF Arkansas Jones
for thatof the noted Confederate
chieftain.
So Captain Clark is too poor to at
tend the coronation. Had he been
with Sampson and Chadwick, ten
miles away, instead ofin the thickest
of the fight, he might have gotten
enough prize money to defray all eX-
penses of the trip.
Mayor Seth Low is making the
New York papers mighty mad with
himby agreeing with them as
to some Of the mistakes of his admin
istration, which they SO kindly point
out from time to time. There's no
fun jamming things into a man who
meets you in that spirit.
The government evidently intends
to have the way entirely clear forthe
adoption Of either the Panama or
the Nicaragua interoceanic canal
route. Hence the completion. of the
treaty negotiations with Colombia.

e the government begin the con-
struction of an in~teroceanic canal,
whether in Panama or Nicaragua,
and that quickly.
Senator Money appears to have
been justified in his refusal to gay a
second fare in a Washington street
car to which he had been transferred,
but a passenger who gets into a fight

of it with his dignity u~nimpared. TC
be thrown out of a car by force, tC
miss a train and to be compelled tC
assert ones rights at the point of 8
penknife, ought to be worth more
than FIVE cents to a Senator of the
United States.
It is to the credit of Captain Clark
formerly Of the Oregon, that he doeE
not banker after the fuss and feathers
of the Kings coronation. tits a1mos
a pity that President Roosevelt coulC
not with propriety represent himsel
in Westminster Abbey on that oc
casion. He could put up with thu
fuss, even if he should care little fo
the feathers, having piucked such
handful of them out of the Spanish
game cocks tail at San Juan Hill
that he may think that he has al
that the next Presidential campaign
will require. Captain Clark has n
bee in his bonnet but that of plain
honest service to his country, in tn
role of heroic seamanship for Whel
he is best fitted. Happy Captain
Clark!
