GETTING REAL MEAN.
And now comes the startling news
that Havana is. beiDg fortified by
having a barbed wire fence built
around it. Since Weyler has dis
covered that the insurgents take his
bronchial trochas whenever they
think they need them, and that Gen
eral Maceo does not wear govern-:
ment socks, he is evidently becoming
frightened. It is amusing to read
that while Weyler is vainly seeking
to find Maceo, he is putting a barbed
wire fence around the capital to
keep him out of it. Has the fiend
ish Spaniard exhausted all his other
tortures? Does he intend to now
spoil all the insurgents' store clothes,
including silk undershirts and socks?
or does h6 expect by this meani to
attack the insurgent army in the
rear?
The next thing we hear will be
that the Havana city council has
passed an ordinance forbidding in
surgents to run at large in the city
limits, or, better yet, passed a no
lence law, and thus forced the in
surgents to fence themselves in or be
impounded. Or perhaps Weyler
thinks the insurgents will tear their
pyjamas and have to go home to get
their mothers to mend them. He
knows how it is, for only a week or
two ago did he not get caught at the
front without a tjlean collar and four-in-hand,
and did he not have to re-
turn to the city to get them, see his
barber and get a bath?
The U. S. senate needs to get a
move on, for what with over-dosing
the insurgents with trochas, and de
liberately preparing to tear their
clothes, the cause of Cuba is getting
Indeed desperate. It is possible that
"Wej'ler has concluded to adopt de
fence ive tactics, with barbed wire
trimmings, thus hoping to make the
insurgents mad so they will go home
and not "holler up his waterspout of
paddle in his rain-water-barrel" any
more. Weyler was wicked before,
' now he is getting real mean.
A REAL LIVE QUEEN.
San Francisco has a real live
queen, or rather a real live person
who was a queen, within her limits, in
the person of Lilinckalani, the acute
brunette from the saccharine shores
of Hawaii. Her coming was a sur
prise to San Franciscans, being un
heralded by the pomp and pageantry
S of royalty. There was no beating of
tom-toms or blowing of conch shells,
but she just came ashore and went to
a hotel like any other common mem-,
ber of the human family.
No one seems to know why she
left her island home, or what she
came to this country for. It may be
possible that she wants to be around
Washington when President Cleve
land steps down and out. She may
. have just a little feminine resentment
that she would like to exhibit in that
manner. Or -it may be that she is
one of Jim Fair's contract widows, or
has a curiosity to see Lucky Bald
win. It may be for .many other
reasons, and is barely possible that
she read Scott's editorial on Califor
nia in general and San Francisco in
particular.
Of course this is all guess work,
and we must wait for genuine and
reliable information until the special
editions of the San Francisco papers
arrive with the glaring headlines an
nouncing the arrival of the only
Queen Lil.
The Oregonian discusses the rail
roads of Oregon and the railroad
commissioners at some length in its
issue of the 11th, and concludes its
. criticisms of the commission by sug
gesting that if it is not abolished, it
at least be limited to one commis
sioner and a clerk. The suggestion
is a good one, though it goes hardly
far enough, and an amendment strik
ing out the words "one commissioner
and" would be in order and conform
more nearly to our ideas. " This
clerk could then be given the powers
of a commissioner and could fill
both offices. Our legislators should
not lose sight of the fact that a com
missioner is too proud to perform the
menial duties of a common clerk,
while the clerk could not only find
time to do his own work, but would
burst a button off to get a chance at
the boss' job, that cf a commissioner
By all means, if we are to have a
railroad commission, let it consist of
one man and, he the clerk, with the
title of ex-officio commissioner attached.
