Though great deal has been talked and written about
the German national festivals during the Saengerfest,
great deal Of trash has been written about In some OF
tho newspapers and it that the nature and char
of these festivals generally understood
The object and origin Of these celebrations, tho develop
ment Of music and song among the Germans and the
social and political tendencies Of these festivities have
been fully explained In the HsRAID during the
Saengerfest, but the trashy In which
the subject has been treated in other newspaper
has excited great deal Of comment among tho German
public, and Is being discussed in the German papers
The Dcmokat denounces the Tribune whose accounts OF
the Saengerfcs characterized tho productions OF
ignorant and minded individuals, preudiced by
the ideas Of natvism because in this interesting and
important German musical demonstration they can
recognize only q frolic Of "Hans and Chatharne"
The Demokrdt says-These fellows know moth
ing else to report OF this festival but that o great
quantity Of lager beer consumed and that the Ger
women resemble ducks and geese when they go TO
the dance.
In q communication to the IStaats Zeituno, the crt
cisms Of the Times about the Saengerfes severely
commented upon and II declares that the attempt TO
rdicule the German element 10 affected and prompted
by jealousy.
