Prefers the American Style.

S. S. Mcclure, publisher of McClure's
Magazine, at dinner given by the
Pacific Union Club, in San Francisco,
recently, made the statement that
there are many things in America
that would be incredible to Russian.
There are few cities in the United
States that are as we'll governed as st.
Petersburg" Which reminds US that
there is no accounting for tastes. To
those who like the Russian style of
government, we suppose that the Rus
sian style of government is just the
thing they like. For our own part, we
like the American style, with all its
faults. The difference between the
'orderliness'' of st. Petersburg and the
''disorderliness" of San Francisco, or
Chicago, or New York, is mainly the
difference between despotism and lib
erty, between the restrictions of pris-
on and the freedom of a playground.
Give us the playground every time.
Those who admire the Russian style
are free to embrace 1t, we suppose; but
we notice that the trend of immigra-
ton is all the other way. Colonel Nc
Clure ought to 60 to st. Petersburg and
explain to the Russians the beauties of
their system of government. By so
doing the Colonel might decrease i'm
migration to the United States and
also decrease the mortality among Rus
sian governors.-Coast Seamen's Jour-
nal.
