BURGLARY AND THE HONEYMOON

n MOTHER burglar has made the plea that he
I ! stole so as to provide food for his wife, a
bride of six weeks. This plea is battered,
rayed, played If true in this particular case, it
only serves to aggravate the offense Nobody has
any business to get married unless of flour and
potatoes enough last least through reasonable
honeymoon. At the expiration of this period the
bride could better take in washing kick the groom
out and go back to the old folks than permit herself
to be pampered on the fruits of nocturnal raids
There comparatively few able-bodied people
who obliged to go hungry, although they may be
short on pie Circumstances have arisen under which
larceny is regarded as moderate offense A hungry
snatching loaf of bread is never by the law
viewed so austerely the well-fed thief Indeed pub
lie sympathy is apt to be with him. He stands in a
more favorable light than the kleptomaniac who
to the crime of stealing adds that of lying and spreads
the cloak of bogus responsibility the pair.
The particular burglar under consideration would
have had better chance with jury if he had pre-
tended to be subject of keptomana lifting portable
property simply because he could not help doing So
and greatly to his regret Then he could have shed
few tears, his lawyer could have spoken eloquently
of the lonely bride sitting in tears and the prisoner
have gone his way, pitied the victim OF relentless
malady But deliberate burglary on pretense Of
famine is without the pale of solicitude. We fear the
honeymoon has not merely been impaired, but re-
sumption of it indefinitely postponed.

THE DEHD NON-PARTISaNS.

THE criticism of correspondent that in sum-
marty disposing of the late unlamented Non
Partisan party have been unnecessarily Sc
we're calls for brief explanation. Our correspondent
will note that The Call has charged the Non
Partisans with corruption On the contrary we have
always given them the credit OF pure intention ana
exalted motive, reserving for few OF their leaders
only the suspicion of knavery and cunning 1t IS not
exactly complimenting their intelligence to say so,
but we have always considered the Non-Partsans a
band of wel-meaning old fellows, the chief end OF
whose political existence have their legs pulled.
This leg-stretching became painfully con-
spicuous however until Mayor Phean and his
brother-in-law took charge of Deacon Fltch's or
ganzaton. These gentlemen succeeded in completely
exposing the game which has been so cunnngly
played by the other manipulators Of Non-Partisan
politics. and the fact that Mr.. Fch'S Endorsement be-
came worthless in the late contest was largely due to
the rawness OF their methods.
While we may not entertain great deal of respect
for the penetration of the estimable old gentlemen
who comprise the bulk OF the NonPartisan "conven-
ton we do not hesitate to dscaim any suspicion of
their motives integrity Perhaps they not to be
censured for falling victims to the wiles of the job
chasing Democratic politicians; better than they
have succumbed to conspracies designed to deprive
representative citizens of their political freedom But
we do blame Mr. Fitch for being taken in. He is
perenced boss and manipulation, thorough politician
and an excellent judge of human nature. There is
no excuse for him. The fat and unctuous Non-Par-
tisans might have been fooled, but the lean and
hungry Fitch like Cassius, was not foolable.
However, non partsanism in San Francisco, hav-
ing been thoroughly exposed, is now closed Incl
dent In writing its epitaph we have endeavored to
be kind the truth permits, and correspondent
entirely misapprehends the purport OF previous
remarks if he thinks have intended to reflect at all
upon the character of the old fossils who mainly COM
posed Deacon Ftch's late Convention"
The Non Partisans meant well, but their theory of
politics was wrong and they worked by job
chasing Democratic politicians. There is no such
thing as non-parsanism in politics. 1t is delusion
and snare 1t is always of the bosses for
purloinng votes Politics is the science Of getting
the Offices and that is partisan to the last degree.
Only dead politicians non-partisans. All others
are violently partisan.

THE REVOLT AGAINST BAILEY.

I HEN Bailey of Texas elevated to the posi-
w ton of leader of the Democratic party in the
House at the beginning of the present Con-
gress there was JOY in the party for it believed
the leadership would have in it something of the
vigor, the energy and the animation of youth. Dem
ocracy had grown weary of her futile old horses
and received the young with the ardor of great
hopes
1t is known to all the nation how disappointing TO
the House to his party and to the country the new
leader has been The contests between the two par
ties during the last session were not many nor were
they OF great moment, but they sufficient to
show that Bailey has neither tact force in dealing
with men; neither craftsmanship nor political
sagacity in dealing with great issues He did not
distinguish himself in any way except by refusing to
attend dinner where he would be expected to wear
dress coat
AS natural result Of these deficiencies there is :
widespread revolt against him in all sections of his
party. Not only are nearly all the Democratic Con-

colleagues were extremely desirouS Oh nav

very disconsolate over the defeat of the
man on whom he had pinned his faith, out
when several other candidates for noml-
nations. which his delegation championed,
had gone the way of Pardee, Friend was,
to say the least, down in the mouth.
After the convention had adjourned TIL
the next day, when the remaining ofhces
were to be filed, Friend was sitting IN the
lobby of the Golden Eagle Hotel sadly
cogitating over his disappointments and
wondering if the morrow would bring
further defeats for his county. He was
considering the advisability OF deserving
his delegation, over which Jonah
seemed to hover, when he suddenly
espied Dan Burns. Going up to him with
rueful countenance, ana pelng aware VI

his good graces in the following terms:
Dan, old fellow, 1 wish you would put
me next to a few good things. Here l

they have proved themselves dead ones
by coming absolutely nowhere Now
you are on the inside and would like to
play a few winners in the convention to-
morrow. 1 hate to be loser on every
race Come, now, let me have some tips
on to-morrow's events.
Burns listened to the entreaty with
out moving a muscle of his countenance
and with sly wink, he said:
Friend, can't give you any tips now,
but tell you what 1 will do. I'll go up
stairs and study the form book and

the astute colonel vanished up the stairs.

FUNNY Paris PAPERS.

HE press of Paris is an instance of habitual
Mysteries. Here it is railing at the hypocrisy"
of the United States, while the whole world is
ringing with the most shocking revelations concern
ing France ever made of civilized nation. The
Dreyfus affair, however it may terminate, has given
the history of the French people black and in
deble page. There has been shown to exist in Off
cia circles depth and founess of corruption such as
even lola could not adequately portray. Compared
with truthful description OF it the seethng mpurity
OF the pool of Lourdes set forth in fullest detail,
would afford pleasant reading
The present is excellent time for the papers of
France to first their house put in order. Let
them devote their energies to the reviviication of
honor which seems dead, to the purging OF the
high places, the exposure and punishment of crime.
Let them correct the practices which cause state
prisoner to commit suicide rather than lay bare his
secrets. Let them rebuke the army for acting
drunken on absinthe, and call upon the Government
to release the people from a despotism which, in
claiming to be republic, stamps itself sham.
There is plenty for the French press to do It has
troubles within the borders of its own country. The
mpertinent and childish medding with affairs which
in manner concern it will after while become ir-
ritatng, and perhaps remark.
