Yearning for the Days of the Gag

Of certain unauthoritative persons, Harper's Weekly says that when they “endeavor to prove to a listening world that Abraham Lincoln would have held foolish notions as to our duty in the Philippine Islands, we begin to yearn for the days of the gag.” The days of the gag will come all too soon for any but those who already yearn for them. Perhaps the fact that Harper's Weekly is edited by a Catholic will explain why that journal is especially yearning that the days of the gag shall be restored.
