Politics, according to the democratic -or republican rules, is an entirely different game from that played by the socialists The old parties play a straight game buck the line, go around the end, and use the turtle back and other ancient and} respectable formations, while the socialists, lacking in weight, rely entirely on trick plays “Would you punish a hungry man who a man who had twenty stumped a democratic speaker Sunday night they ¢ a ham from hams?” was one of the questions that | Here we have an inquiry rather difficult to answer in front of a hostile audience. for a hungry man in need of a ham, and to instantly and em Everybody has a sentimental weakness phatically take the side of the law and the ten commandments | cnowledge in his beart that he did requires more nerve than the ordinary candidate is possessed of. Yet our lingering belief in the divine right in the possession | of hams impels us to refrain from opening the way to assaults | on porcine wealth, and the speaker hesitates, hems, haws, drinks | water, while the socialists score Of course, any speaker, talking man to man, or to a listen ing audience, might reply that the law is not designed to punish the hungry man who neglected to lay in his supply of hams, but a touchdown | | that if the plea of hunger absolved all purloiners of ham the ham business would be ruined, as it would be much-easier to steal hams than to tote swill to the original possessors But no socialist worthy of the name would tolerate a long evasive, roundabout answer of this character, as the gallant fou nd, as far of Democracy learned to their sorrow or amusement as democratic enlightenment is c in ignorance of what will be the fate of the hamless man unde r} the rule of Bryan. j neerned, the socialists are yet | JAPANESE COALS OF FIRE While all this furore is in the air about the red hot, bang-up reception tendered the American fleet by the Japanese govern ment, it wold be interesting to know the feelings of the day laboring Jap whose hard-grubbed yen are going to pay for it The official magnificence of the reception is intended to heap | coals of fire on the heads of the San Francisco persons who} didn’t like Japanese cooking, and others who haven't any more brotherly affection for the little brown porter and bell hop than | the city ordinances of Seattle require. } The hot-coal system of getting even is so expensive and slow-going that only governments can afford it, and the man in the street usually prefers a brick and doesn't worry about its | temperature. At least, that is the theory in the land of the free and the home for the oppressed, and any person visiting our| shores with any glowing coals can expect to have them thank-| fully received and promptly utilized. | It is not altogether improbable that if cable tolls were not so high, and the Japanese censorship not so strict, we would hear that the common every-day Jap isn’t half so enthusiastic about the fleet as the mikado and council of ancients would have us believe. ' Of course, we don't deserve it, for there isn't any record of open arms on the Pacific coast for the Banzai people, and there won't be, no matter how many times the admiral of the Japanese fleet calls on the admiral of the American navy. There is noth ing in the “hands-across-the-sea” song, with Japan reaching out a brown, anmanicured fist.
