The Comic Valentine Nuisance.

Next week a flood of abusive, disgusting
colored pictures, miscalled valentines, will
be let loose upon the country. They will be
eagerly bought by youngsters without
thought for the appropriateness of their
distribution and with no conception of the
a,roeiousness of their style. They Will in
still false, mean and even vicious ideas into
young minds. For in addition to the gross
caricatures which offend the taste, these
cheap and nasty prints bear rhymes which
are vulgar in the extreme, and often in
decently suggestive. Yet by some they are
considered funny and parents seldom inter-
vene to prevent their purchase and handling
by children.
The valentine is supposedly a love missive
suggesting tender, beautiful thoughts.
1t was originally the rhyme. and OCCASION
ally the picture, sent by a swain to the OBJ
ject of his affections. In later times the
custom varied with the perfection of the
printing art until homemade valentines fell
into disuse, and the elaborate creations of
the designer and the printer were substi-
tuted. Even then they were held within
bounds of decency, and the old concept of
St. Valentines day was retained. IL re-
manned for euterprising penny -catchers to
appeal to the lower tastes of people and
produce comic valentine which appealed
to the humorous side of people. For time
this departure from the original concept of
the day was restrained but of late years it
has been allowed to go to lengths far be-
yond even those contemplated by the first
makers of the comics
1t is an insult to the public intelligence to
suppose that these atrocities of vivid inks
and ribald rhymes are produced in response
to a demand. The supply has fostered that
demand. If the printing sale of these
denominations were cut off by regulation
they would not be missed They supply
no legitimate want They tend to democrat
ize the taste of the young and impression
able. and they are probably responsible for
much unwholesome precoclty in these days
OF over-rapid juvenile development.

Democratic Peace Flags.

More peace flags White is the popular
bunting IN democratic political circles now,
and is flying in many directions.
The other day The Star referred to the
Cleveland-Grady reconciliation at Albany,
and to the cordial reception of Mr.. Car
Isle by a Bryanite legislature at Frank
fort. A day or two later ex-senator Lind
say of Kentucky, who had been as little
in favor with the Bryanites as Mr.. Carlisle,
and for the same reason-his support in
office of the sound money cause-addressed
the same legislature by invitation, and was
most warmly received.
But we have now to consider the most
surprising manifestation of all. Henry
Watterson is sojourning at water side
place in Florida, and. Influenced in some
measure probably by the hospitable climate
and his leisure. closes a. letter to his news
paper at Louisville with the following:
Rose Cleveland has a cottage here.
Grover ought to come down ana try MS
luck. l promise to receive him with
deputation and never to utter syllable
about the tariff. When he is not hunting,
or fishing. can walk the beach together,
hand in hand and commune one with the
other of the fickleness of fortune and pub
lie opinion, commiserate Theodore Roose-
welt, whose time win come, and. looking
away off toward the setting sun, muse
ness of his ambitions. Not a word shall
be said to remind him of the Star-eyed
Goddess and how he Tilted her. She is a
mermaid now. and with the mermaidS
cometh only by night to tread measure
upon the Vastly deep!
This is not only handsome, but should be-
come historical Mr. Cleveland should ac-
cept the invitation.
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands.
1t is conceived and issued in the true
Shakespearean spirit, and deserves the most
serious consideration a the hands of the
Sage of Princeton. He and his brother of
Louisville would find each other good COM
pany. and their party would rejoice to see
them united.
Mr.. Watterson's confession as to the Star
eyed Goddess need surprise nobody. There
has, indeed, always been a strong suspicion
that the lady was not all of piece. At any
rate the issue she represented turned out
and at the other protection. Mr.. Waiter
sons editorials tapered off into Mr.. Cor
mans legislation, and haif-horse-half-al-
ligator record was made by the democracy
on the tariff question.
Are these straws showing the direction of
could be called except for the physical
proportions of Mr.. Cleveland and Judge
Lindsay, which bar that figure of speech.
They are certainly signs which the repub
licans should ponder.

Anna Gould's Bargain.

From the Roanoke Times.
We would like to feel some sympathy for
Countess de CaStellane in her troubles but
it is rather difficult because we think she
received just about what she bought and
paid for when she made purchase of
Count de Castellane. If our memory serves
the talk of the counts of Europe and were
the subject of comment in this country
when one of our richest daughters was an
nounced to wed him. and the subsequent
actions of the count have beer sufficient to
convince any one that his alliance with the
house of Gould was solely for the purpose
CT reflling depleted exchequer. In ex-
change he was to give NAME one of the
oldest in Europe, and enter into the best
society of the Parisians.
He has fulfilled his part of the contract
and had never agreed to give the duchess
a husband or man. She is the fayorite in
society and the most envied of all those
envied. This was what she wanted and this
was what she received. and just where her
complaint comes In is not perfectly clear.
The great trouble is that no matter In
what station in life married woman, who
Is possessed of womaniy instincts is placed
there Is that desire for the love and pro-
lection of a husband. She may have all else
that the world affords, but II this is missing
ness sure to result, but IL she has true
loving husband to whom she is queen the
hardshfps OF life are diminished and she has
that happiness which can only come to the
woman who Is truly and devotedly loved.

Snow Money In priblets.

The Star has frequently called attention
to the urgent necessity of the annual appro-
priation by Congress of sufficiently large
fund for cleaning the streets after snow
fall to last the District throughout the win

capital has been caught by snowstorms with
the snow fund exhausted. Sometimes Com
gress has been fin session and emergency APP
preparations have been secured. Again, Con-
gress has not been In session--as during the
Christmas holidays-and the capital has
been compelled to wait for relief for sew
eral days. or until the sun has done the
work of rendering the streets passable.
This condition practically exists today.

A Discomfort.

Trif1in' weather. that's the kind
That keeps comm to my mind:
Weather when the skies clear;
Weather when the atmosphere
Is so dense with perfume sweet,
That the birds an bees you meet
Spread their wings an simply lie
Floatin': they don't have to fly.
What's the difference, lose or win?
Simply let the old world spin
On Its axis, day by day,
It's fine trip, anyway.
Wisht the snow would disappear,
Wisht the birds would sing so clear,
wisht twas June. with flowers entwined-
Trifiin weather: that's the kind!
