Address Communications to W. S. LEAKE, Manager @ eeteeveseaceesse...Third and Market Streets, S. F. GERMAN COMMENT. Publication OffiCe........cceeceeseiniacecacccnsns HE outburst of temper in the German press is rather a surprise to this country. German papers, representing all shades of political opinion, embitter the holiday season and afflict themselves by choosing to misunderstand the Venezuelan situation, and making that mis- understanding the basis of criticisms, which vary in their object according to the political views of the critic. The Government journals take it out in attacking the United States, while those of the opposition attack their own Government for abandoning its plan through fear of the United States. ; ¢ / The bitter temper shown is a background for the judicial calmness of the people of the L'm}fi_l States. The Germans sneer at the Monroe doctrine as a “fiction.” We can smile at this, for it is far more firmly established than the constitution of the German empire. The reason of this is that we can defend it with more force, with stronger battalions, if you please, than the empire can bring to the protection of its cohesive agreements. The English have a wise and worthy maxim in their politics which runs thus, “Party politics ceases at the water’s edge,” meaning at the national boundary. The American peoplé have this maxim well learned. They acted upon it when President Cleveland issued his Venezuelan message that forced Great Britain to arbitrate the boundary dispute, and again when a unanimous vote put into President McKinley’s hand a defense fund of fifty millions, in anticipation of the Spanish War. " We have not departed from that position in the present Venezuelan issue. The whole country knows that President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay avill permit neither the invasion nor the per- version of the Monroe doctrine, and knowing this, the whole country means that all just claims, of the concerted nations, against Venezuela shall be paid to the last bawbee, without disturbing the sovereignty or abgidging the territory of the debtor. Our Government has every reason for be- lieving that that is all that Germany wanted in the first place and has every reason for knowing also that that is all she will get. The infuriated press of the empire does not stop to think that its attitude impeaches its own Government most seriously. Berlin submitted its case to Washington far in advance of present events, as did London. The statement, in its final form, was accepted by this Government as the full measure of the empire’s purpose, and the allies were advised of the limitations which this Gov- ernment insists upon and will defend. This was accepted by the allies. With that understand- ing they made their demonstration. For the most part it has been reasonable and restrained. The few excesses are pardonable, being, indeed, natural to the execution of orders under discretion at such a distance from the central authority. The position of the United States has been scrupulous- ly |‘c>p{NE(L according to the prior understanding, and all the European Governments involved, and that means every nation west of the Danube. have paid us the complithent of committing their nationals, resident in Venezuela, to the protection of our Minister at Caracas. As if fortune and fate had determined that nothing should be lacking in the recegnition of our justi/ce and our power, Venezuela also hastened to select our -Minister as her representativg in the negotiations which are to peacefully conclude the incident. Now upon that record the German press accuses the Imperial Government of being forced to abandon its plans, of humiliating itself in the presence of our demands based “on the Monroe fiction.” Do not such critics see that they are accusing their own Government of the most serious of international offenses? Do they not see that they’are placing their Government in the pesition of having an ulterior purpose, concealed behind its understanding with the United States? Do they not see that, in their unwise heat, they are declaring to the world that the word of Germany is not worth the ink that inscribes and the wax that seals it? 5 The American people, and especially our German element, will refuse to believe the accu- sation against Germany which is left as the solid of this evaporation of rage. We believe that the Government of the Kaiser entered into the understanding with ours in good faith, and we intend that everything included in that understanding shall be performed. We have no more sympathy with Latin-American turbulence and turpitude than Europe has. The absurd international law ad- vanced by Calvo to protect robbery is as obnoxious tg us as to Europe. We intend to discipline Latin-America in civic stability and in respect for all personal and property rights, for we desire to be the hegemon of a hemisphere of well-governed nations, where all rights are as safe as in staid and sober-minded Switzerland. The day has gone by when an ephemeral dictator, hali-baked out of indifferent mud bv the fires of revolution, can trice up foreign consuls and lash them on the bare back. And the day is so past in which the same typhoid governments can plead their fever as sufficient excuse for violating their contracts and robbing foreigners of their property. These are the conclusions of the American people. The German press desires conquest as a cure for these evils. That we forbid, and our veto puts it out of the discussion. IFof it we substitute discipline. All the present geeing and hawing and champing the bit, whether by Venezuela or the concerted powaers, will end in arbitration, and arbitration in the rigid enforcement of its judgment. Then the German press will realize that its own Government was not as bad as it tried to make the world believe, while ours was much better than it was painted. a THE RIGHT TO SNORE. NOTHER is added to the many reasons given by slayers for taking life. Heretofore men and women have been killed for ambition, for gain, for self-defense, for love, for spite. It remained for a Californian who had reached the years of discretion at 76 to affix the death penalty to snoring. The Almshouse of Butte County stands in the midst of an orange orchard, the fruit of which pays all the expenses of maintaining the county poor. There the wrecks of fortune float in the sunshine on a sea of perfume exhaled by orange flowers, and the derelicts of society drift in a garden that outrivals that of Hesperides. The visitor to this ideal home of the surrendered, of those who have given up the fight, have long regarded its charms of location and surroundings as a direct inducement to indigence, so excellent are the ways of its management. But there are weeds and gophers even in this pauper elysium. The sunbeams shine not al- ways on contentment and the mellow moon Jooks not upon the unalloyed happiness of the in- mates. There was a serpent in Eden, and a snoring pauper crept into the Butte County poor- house. He had wound his midnight bugle through most of a long life of 82 years without acci- dent or injurious protest. He had snored like a pig with his yoke turned all over Butte County when he was a man among men and a taxpayer amang taxpayers. But at last he passed off the active list of life and went over the hill to the Butte County poorhouse, in its bower of orange or- chards. There he roomed with an old neighbor, whose lifeboat was wrecked about the same time, and every night he retired to sleep and snore, and this neighbor to lie awake and swear. The sumptuous New Year's dinner must have added to the noxiousness of that snore, for, in the dead waste and middle of the night the snorer’s roommate arose, clad mostly in his wrath, and, seeking a hatchet, proceeded to cut off the snore and the snorer with the edge thereof. After inflicting sundry cuts and slashes, the rest of the house was roused by the stopping of the snore, for be it known that to most of the inmates this snore had become a soporific. a nasal lullaby. Rushing to see what had cut off their substitute for poppy, mandcagora and the drowsy syrups of the East, they found the assassin of the assassinator of his siumber, with the bleeding hatchet in his homicidal hand, and the snorer with noi 2 snore leit in his bleeding -bugle. Then the Sheriit came, and the doctors. The guilty man will plead justification, or temporary insanity caused by ifisomnia, and juries may have added a new cause for acquitting hatchet men. ! The proposal to unite Oklahoma and Indian Territory for the purpose of making a State has been followed by another to combine New Mexico with Arizona. Evidently the Fast does not intend to have any Western Senators that it can avoid. 2 Castro has one last kick. He wishes a South dmerican power to act as arbitrator between Venezuela and the European claimants. It is a good enough kick, but unfortunately he has not power to make it reach the right spot. ’ The first news brought us by the Pacific cable is that there has been stormier weather off Honolulu than any that we have had this winter, so that “Paradise of the Pacific” story Yanishes at the first authentic report. / i Some enterprising Frenchmen are trying to connect the Humbert scandal with the Dreyfus case, and thus we learn that a certain class of men will not take ‘their misfortunes singly even when they have a chance. i 3 | feet of him to take it | oty admittea "WHEN iT COMES & HIGH ART THE TIVOLI GIANT, TO REALLY ‘ | | GORGIBUSTER, TAKES THE CAKE l By Guisard. . l ORGIBUSTER is the real thing.

But when the golden-locked | Titania came in, with her green and sil- ver gown of gauze, her flashing jewels and her wand. the little princess was one sigh of praise. “Isn't she rling?" she said at last, and only d ed the new queen when tricksy Master Puck tripped in to plot | with his master to spoil Titania's plans to marry the princess to Jack af the Beanstalk. She had hardly time to suc- cumb to the new passion when the terri- ble “Fee! fa! fo! fum!" that always an- nounced a giant, boomed out, and Prin- cess Helen gripped my hand a little tighter. “He—he won't come here?” she whis- pered, and I promised that he wouldn't, and she laughed—a little shakily—with me as Gorgibuster's huge form strode in Gorgibuster wanted to make a fuss, but the fairies put him to sleep more quickly than Britt set Erne a-siumbering. Then Oberon ordered up a vision of the lovely princess and told the giant to capture and marry her. That Helen thought was very wicked of Oberon. But the “bats and owls” came and in their pretty ballet danced away her anger, and the stage then darkening made her cry, afraid, “Is that all””" In the magic way of things in fairy- land, when the lights Went up again it was on the garden of the royal palace of the King of Shreds and Patches, whose lovely daughter the glant had to steal.

It was ex- citing, too, when the next curtain rose on a whole bunch of fairles dancing up there and positively fascinating when tha ogre’s ret dragged out a huge table for the giant and the Princess. ““He's-going-to-eat-her!” little Princess Helén gasped.
