ChristianitY and Democracy


From a speech by the Hon. Bourke
Cochran at Minneapolis on st. Pat
riek's day:
The mai who adopts the Christian
religion acknowledged the equality Of
man, and it is upon this equality OF
man that the government is founded.
When the nation adopted these princi-
pies and embodied them in its Consti.
tion, it became evident that slavery
was inconsistent with this idea OF
equality, and slavery fell.
II is when men begin to inqHire into
the reasons and rights Of government,
that they may question the right Of
the autocratic government to exist,
and ii is then that the Democratic
government defends itself. If all
men we're enlightened and accepted
Christianity universally, then all men
would have political power and the
universal government would be Demo
cratic.

Life Of a Much-Loved Novelist.

In his forthcoming biography of
William Black, the novelist Sir Wen,
yss Reid tells very entertaining story
of Blacks life. his relations with his
friends and with the characters in his
books. Black once told Sir Wemyss
that of all his many stories, "Madca p
Violet" was his favorite; and it is
known that the scenes described in that
novel were drawn direct from the
neighborhood of Blacks own house, in
Camberwell Grove, which was known
as Airlie House. The country road
about has changed considerably since
the story was written, but it is said
that the home Of Jemes Drummond, the
hero of "Madcap Violet" is still stand

This was prophecy, but it had a log
zeal foundation. Burke simply took the
full measure of the colonists and their
leaders. He had the only complete ap-
probation Of the day of what such men
as Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson,
Adams, Franklin, Madison, Monroe,
Jay. and others were capable, and
would accomplish with their spirit and
uneXampled opportunity. He had seen
them as colonists build up a great en-
pire, and he found no difficulty with
his genius and prescience in forecast
ing what they and their inheritOrs
would do with it in the day of COM
plete control.
Burke, as history recites. spoke to
empty benches at that time. He. was
considered tiresome by the old fox

they'd easily perform some task OF

He always made 1t a practice to

these uncouth giants, whereupon they 4
Immediately knock off work and get
impossibly drunk at the waterfront
groggeries. I'm afraid that Stevenson
was demoralizing influence among the
big San Francisco longshoremen in
those days.
Stevenson was as simple as a lad
in some respects. He dropped into my
office one noon hour when 1 was wash
ing up for lunch. and his attention was
attracted by piece of tattooing that
have worn on my right arm for good
many years. 1t was job that I'd done
in Japan by a master guildsman of the
arm when L was a young and foolish
mana dragon in combat with an ca
gle, in four colors, gold, brown, blue
and red.
Stevenson wouldn't let me pull down
my shirt sleeve until. as it seemed to
one. he had counted every scale on the
dragons body. The piece seemed to
afford him the very greatest delight,
and time and again he asked me wheth-
e. the job had hurt me. 1t had hurt,
as matter of fact, having taken about
fourteen hours of steady work on the
Jap artists part, but / told him that it
had passed off easily enough.
Then he asked me all about tattoo
ing, and it was perfectly plain TO me
that he was thinking that he'd like to
have a piece or so of tattooing himself.
consequently cried out upon the prac-
tice, telling him that I'd give a good
deal if my body had never been marked
up with the needle. but he seemed to
remain unconvinced. After that, espe-
cially in Honolulu, 1 noticed that he
seemed to have almost boyish rever- !
ence for a piece of tattooing upon a
mans body.
He was fond of studying sailors on
shore liberty. One afternoon we were
strolling past a saloon, near the Clay
street wharf in San Francisco, run by
a man named Al White. White was an
ex-man-o' wars man, and therefore
his place was much frequented by men,
o'-war's men.
Just as We got by the place there
was a crash OF glass, and large por-
ton of one of Whites plate-glass win
dows, punctured by a beer bottle, drop
ped on the pavement. Then the uproar
from Whites became terrific.
The saloon was filed with a fight
ng crowd of about a hundred man-o'-
vars men on their first shore liberty
rom their ships. after their return
rom n three years cruise in the China
seas. and it at once occurred to me
hat the greatest possible distance
away from Whites place, under the
circumstances. would be best for us.
II plucked at Stevenson's arm and
old him as much. But he would not
lave it. He seemed to be in a trance ]

ng in Whites.
