ono of senator Hoar's Jokes.

Have you heard the latest bon mot
of Senator Hoar?' said Congressman
A, according to the Boston Journal.
"Hoar says so many witty things
that it is hard to keep up with him, !"
said Senator P. What o. the
latest ona?"
ut seems that the Hoars had a dear
friend i'll with appendicitis last sum-
mer, and were becoming very uneasy,
when a letter came announcing joy
fully that the surgeons had declared
that the character of the illness was
not appendicitis after all, but acute
indigestion.
That is good news said the SEN
ator. L rejoice that the difficulty lay
in the table of contents rather than in
the appendix. ,"

The nine Irish counties in which the
"crimes act" has been made of force
by Earl Cadogans proclamation are
those in which the United Irish League
has been most active during the past
few months. The league itself has not
yet been proclaimed, but it is regarded
as certain that this step will be taken
shortly. The essentials of the Grimes
act" as was stated in our dispatches
a day or two ago, are as follows: Jur-
isdiction in cases of criminal conspir-
acy, intimidation and unlawful assem-
bly,, and trial by special jury and
change of venue at the option of the
crown. 1t is very readily understood
how these may be regarded as harsh
and unwarranted measures by Irish
men.

a London letter says that Lord Sails
bury will not have a typewriting ma
chine in his Office, and that the ma
chimes are tabooed by both Mr. Cham
berlain and Mr.. Balfour, also. That is
probably a straw Indicating why the
wind of trade is blowing away from
Great Britain. Her statesmen decline
to take advantage of time and labor
saving appliances. And yet some of the
Britishers affect not to understand why
British workingmen are opposed to the
employment of labor-saving tools. Such
conservatism is the kind that gets left
in the race Of life.

While Gov. Dole of Hawaii is in
Washington he will try to induce the
government to remove the income tax
Of 2 percent. that is charged in that
island. The tax falls most heavily, of
course, upon the rich sugar planters,
who are firmly convinced that the
American government ought not only
to give them free trade in sugar. but
remove the tax on their incomes that
now defrays nearly all of the cost Of
the island government. The sugar peo-
pie are modest. All they ask is free
trade and immunity from taxation.
And Mr.. Dole, who has just been vim
dictated by the administration. is their
friend.

The weekly visit of the eatnip man,
says the New York Sun, is looked for
ward to with eagerness by the cats of
one of the uptown streets through
which, on certain days, a vender carry
ing a basket of the herb goes about
from one door to the other peddling
the luxury that the basement pet loves
so well. The cats seem to know the
day their friend is due, and prowl
about front yards and areas, looking
anxiously up and down the street for
the coming of the peddler. When he
appears they rush to greet him, pur-
ring and rubbing against his feet.
When they get some of the catnip they
roll upon the ground in a perfect revel
Of luxuriousness.

The President said in his Charleston
speech that the status of Cuba after
May 20 would be that of "independ-
ence." Having the idea of Cuban 'in-
dependence in view, the President rec
omended to Congress the authoriza-
ton of the appointment of United
States minister to Cuba. 1t is not only
possible but probable that Congress
will decline to accept the Presidents
Suggestion, but will provide instead that
the American consul general stationed
at Havana shall be clothed with diplo-
matte powers. To send fully ac-
credited minister to a country is equiv
alent to acknowledging that country to
be in all diplomatic respects the equal
of the country by which the minister
is sent. In view of the Plat amend
ment, which is not only the law of the
United States, but has been adopted
by Cuba in her constitution, it is diff
cult to understand how the United
States are going to admit that, in so
far as national rights are concerned
Cuba is their equal. In Europe It
seems. the United States are regarded
as the suzerain of Cuba. The London
Daily Mail recently observed: THE
United States have granted autonomy
TO Cuba. The United States
of course. retain all suzerain rights in
reference to foreign relations" That
is how the situation is looked upon on
the other side of the ocean, and sub
stantially it is correct Cuba will have
autonomy" but viii she have ''inde-
pendence2" And if she have not indie
pendence, how are we going to ac-
knowledge her equality with us by
sending her a minister?

The New York Times credits Bishop
Potter with the following little anec-
dote:
A Chicagoan had been taken around
Boston all day to observe her bull
warks, but had failed to exhibit any
of those symptoms of paralysis which
are acceptable to the Bostonian mind.
Nov confess said the Bostonian
host, after the burden and heat of the
day, isn't Boston a unique town."
"Unique?" unused the Westerner; 81
believe that word is derived from two
Latin words, unus, one, and equus,
horse. l think Boston is a unique
town"

The little gunboat Marietta has got
back from Panama, where she went
some months ago to protest American
interests during the recent "revolu-
ton" One of her marine officers tells
a story about the revolution" that
goes to show that there are exceptions
to the rule that war is h." as laid
down by Gen. Sherman. War may
sometimes be funny, as was illustrated
at Panama. The Marietta's marines
were ordered to guard the railroad.
They were placed in charge of an Of
ficer named Owen. The government
troops were on one side of the railroad
and the insurgents on the other. The
contending forces had been peppering
away at each other, when the train
came along with Owen and his ma
rines aboard. The officer telling the
story says: "Owen stuck his head out
of the window and shook his finger at
the old gentleman that was in COM
mand of the government troops. 1 for
get what his name was, but is was
something like brand or scent cigars.
owen said to him: Look here. you;
you have kept this train waiting, and
it mustn't happen again. don't care
how much you fight around here in this
neck of the woods, but when you hear
this train coming you must stop until
it has passed. The old gentleman
promised that he would obey He did
and after that we weren't bothered
again" Now, it must be admitted
that the war which stops to let the
train go by has something about it that
is worthy of admiration, as well as
something humorous.

Chicago seems to be, the easiest"
city in the world. with the possible
exception Of New York. 1t appears
that an air-ship man has induced a
number Of Chicago capitalists to put
up money to build an air-ship with
which to reach the Garden of Eden.
He says the Garden is located in the
center of the earth, and that the open
ing to it is at the north pole. This
dreamer is quite sure that Andree and
his balloon drifted into this opening
and that the daring Norwegian is now
enjoying life in the happy realms from
which Adam and Eve were driven.
He says Andree is unable to get out
of the Garden of Eden in the center
of the earth because of the adverse
currents Of air. but with the ship he
purposes to build he will be able to bid
defiance to adverse air currents and
sail in and out at pleasure. And Chi
cago people have put up the money
for the air shipi

Three young men on trial in New
York state for the murder of their
uncle assert that, while they shot and
killed him, the homicide was uninten-
tional. They claim that they went to
his house only for little fun" The
fun" consisted in the young men turn
ing their coats wrong side out. putting
on masks and going into the house at
night with pistols drawn. Upon per-
ceiving such company entering his
house, the uncle got a gun and tried
to keep the intruders out. In the me-
lee that followed the old man was kill
ed. 1t may, indeed, all have been
huge joke, but it is doubtful that
the dead man has yet been able to see
where the laugh came in. At all events,
such jokers are worthy Of the gall
lows.
