DEMOCRACY'S REVIVED ROMANCE

The temperance upon the political stage of Miss
Democracy in the role OF wooer Of William Jen-
nings Bryan has caused many heartache and
many sigh and has led to the raiding of Tom
Taggarts Indiana gambling dens.
Those who have observed. during the last decade
ard half the frivolous course of the lady in the
case will be slow TO hold IE!Taggart accountable
for her sudden preference for the Nebraskan A
lady who, when ten years younger than she is now,
deliberately divorced Senator David B. Hill OF New
Nork-who, as we have it on his own word, is
above all else faithful worshiper at Democracy's
shrine-to take unto herself PoPulism and all its
works. including Tom Watson. IS scarcely to be

Is alleged, is not so reasonable Standing before
his own expensive mirror, Mr.. Hearst IS compelled
to admit that in selecting Mr. Bryan Miss Democ-
racy has displayed decidedly poor taste. and that
II should be the part OF every son OF Democracy by
former marriages-AIiss Democracy resumed her
maiden title after divorcing Grover Cleveland-to
point out to the old lady the error OF her ways He
evidently had high hopes that Mr.. Taggart would
be to the fore in indicating the better But
Nr Taggart either would not or could not do this
Indiana, his own State not only approved Miss
pemocracy's choice, but applauded it And then
Tom Taggart's gambling dens were raided Worse,
now comes demand that he resign the chairman

with even Wall street howling Tor Bryan.
There are those who hold Mr. Hearst respon-
sible for all this woe and Mr.. Taggart is not slow
in giving voice to the opinion. With herceness
that smacks OF the Democracy OF old he says that
Mr.. Hearst may go hang Not only does Mr. Tag
gart refuse to attend his political execution,
but he intimates that the political execution OF the
alleged defeated rival OF Mr.. Bryan is at hand The

Taggart. When lady approaches her dotage-

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.

The long and the short of it has been introduced
into the question of how to build city. The man
with the millions is for the long and the tall and
the man with the thousands is for the short and
the deep San Francisco is not the only city in the
United States where building ordinance has been
made bone OF contention New York has suffered
delay of building construction because of her sky
scrapers and the Supreme Court of one State has
declared that property owner is the proprietor
ir fee simple OF all the above and all the earth
beneath his surveyed lands
Two-story buildings with double-decked cellars
gave property owners in Chicago chill until the
nlooted question was settled. Mine owners had
litigation in some places in Colorado and Pennsyl-
vana as to what depth they might dig the shafts
and tunnels when same to a certain degree weak
cned the foundations of town. Pie Supervisors
Of San Francisco say that there shall be no build
ing higher than one and half times the width Of
the street. and many millions of dollars worth of
tall buildings that in contemplation may never
be built
1t might as we'll be said that a building should
not have double cellar that its width and depth
should be regulated by ordinance. The steel struc-
lures stood the severest test OF fire and earthquake
but object lessons are apparently to the Super
visors liking. Ii we are to live in an age Of
stunted growths why not pass law to prevent
tall men from entering street cars and short men
from standing in tall doorways? Crazy-patch
building laws might have limited the height
OF the Cathedral OF St Paul and shorn the Sphinx
OF its head dress The Old World has suffered
from earthquakes. too, but they did not interfere
with progress; if they had the Coliseum would have
looked like bite out Of pie and ancient Rome like
Tar Flat.

LAST OF THE "CHINEE GENERAL. 4"
BY JAMES S. TYLER.

TT r WAS not a member of the I'M
r. perial Chinese army. though his
Ill name implied it. He was just a
plain yellow dog, lean. long and
awkward. His tail was or inches
over the normal and his ears hung to
his neck like sails from which the wind
had fallen away. All this he was. and
more. too. but he had friend who was
usually friend in the direst kind Of
need.
The Chinee General got his name
from the small boys of Spear and Fol-
som streets. and it stuck to him
through six years OF city front life. al
though some of the sea- captains used
| to call him Nero and Sport and all
those time doggy chestnutty names
The Chinee General was first given
him as a cognomen by a little urchin
who knew that the particular friend OF
the General was rawboned sailor who
used to sail on one of the Occidental
and Oriental steamships to China and
4 Japan. 1t is easy enough to draw a
conclusion as to why the youngster
struck upon the appellation.
"Broken-nose Jack the Generals
sailor friend was a brawling fellow
whose makeup was a large part OF
Drawn and muscle and a good bit of
water front whisky. He drank and
fought and was usually victorious, and
1T was over one of these fights that the
Chineel General came TO secure recog-
nition.
The general had a host of water front
ours as a following. for he was the
largest of them all. One day little
fellow with short legs and two teary
eyes was set upon by bull terrier and
nipped until the community was
! aroused by his howls. The General ex-
ecuted flank movement and managed
to fasten on the leg of the enemy, and
for the while it looked like victory for
the front. But the terrier broke away
and went at the General and rolled him
in the mud The General being yellow.
yelped distressingly till "Broken-nose
Jack" appeared on the scene and lifted
the terrier with a kick that nearly sent
him over the wharf stringer into the
bay.
Jack got a righthanded swing on
the jaw and he went down. but not
out He got to his feet and beat the
owner of the terrier tfR he was a
mangled mass of flesh and blood and
had to be taken to the HarbOr police
station Jack escaped and the Cen
eral escaped with him. From that
day on 1T was firmly believed among
the water front people that the Gen
eral knew just when the COptic was
due and would be at the wharf to
meet Jack.
At any rate he was always with the
sailor when the tar was in port and
how he managed to find him was a
wonder Jack got drunk in Barbary
Coast saloon one night and when he
had cleaned out the barroom the
gang" came back at him full tilt

BUILD, BUT BUILD HONESTLY.

Every business man will heartily support the
project to build upon the McCreery lot at Eighth
and Mission streets temporary municipal head
quarters i'll which all departments OF the city gov
ernment can be housed The cost of building such
temporary City Hall would be about ST $4,000,
and as there will be rent charged for the of
the property this may be considered reasonable.
The time saved to taxpayers and employees of the
city by having such building SO centrally located
will mean great deal to all concerned and no delay
should be tolerated in constructing the needed
quarters
There would be only one argument against the
erecting of the building and that is if the spending
OF the money should involve political trckery and
graft contracts. There are two mortifying exam
pies OF municipal dishonesty in the ruins of the City
Hall and the Hall OF Justice. The earthquake and
the fire laid bare the frauds in construction and
proved the taxpayers that the city had been swim
died In the temporary municipal building San
Francisco does not want to offer further opportt-
n;ty for political corruption and exasperating delay

Division of the Supreme Court handed

reservation to be private property, and
