The row between Paul BOurget.
Max 0Rell and Mark Twain re.
minds n of the way the demo
pops conducted themselves after the
election last fall. Before the cleo
ton they went about abusing the
republicans and the republican party,
accusing the republicans and demo
Gratis of collation.; but when some of
their own schemes were exposed,
and the real truth of the demo-
cratic : populistic combination was
made incontestably manifest by the
election returns, then they went wild
if any one mildly suggested such a
thing as a dem0cratic-populist com
bination and wanted to go on the
war-path. The San Francisco Ex-
aminer gives the substance of the
Bourget-O Twain row, as follows:
Paul Bourget-"I suppose life can
never be entirely dull to the Amer
lean, because whenever lie cannot
strike up any other way to put in his
time he can always get away with
a few years trying to find out who
his grandfather was" Mark TWAIN
81 reckon the F|renchman's got his
little standby for a dull time too,
because when all other interests fail
he can turn in and see if he can't
find out who his father was" Max
0'Rell-"Mark Twain has offered a
gratultous insult to the women of
the French Nati0nr' Thus it is al
ways with trivial natures in a dis
cussion, or play of wit. then they
feel insulted and get mad. "Whom
the Gods would destroy they first
make mad" Mark Twain represents
in this contest the cool courageous
patriotic American idea, while Max
0'Rell and Paul Bourget represents
the demo-pop European ideas of de-
monitiZation of silver, free lead and
free wool. We bet on the Amer
lean every time.
