tion Of the American flag, that he is an Ameri-
can citizen.
To do our foreign-born citizens justice they
are almost always disposed to yield a ready
allegiance to the Government OF their adopted
country. Meddling politicians, however, who
are willing to sacrifice anything and every
thing to gain a few votes or TO curry favor
with particular classes, exert themselves to
keep up the divisions, whether Of race or re-
hgion, among the various elements OF our
population. The Germans and the Irish, as
such, and not as American citizens, are ap
pealed to at every election. All the tricks of
demagogueism are brought into play to win
their favor by catering to their class preju-
dices, and since the present political campaign
has opened military order of General
Grants has been made use OF to
drag the Jews into the political arena,
with the hope that the dlapidated
fortunes of the Democratic candidates may. in
some degree, be bettered by their votes. 1t is
creditable to the intelligence and patriotism OF
our Jewish citizens, that their most influential
journal, and most prominent men, have pro-
tested against being identified as Jews with
any political party. There are some stupid
people among the Jews as well as among other
religious scots, who will probably vote the
Democratic ticket; but the great mass OF
them are as much impressed as we are of the
Importance of being American citizens aud
nothing else, so far as politicians are concerned
and their ballots will certainly be cast for
Grant and Colfax in spite of the wheedliug'
of the Copperhead papers. Let every man be
Catholic, Protestant or Jew, as his conscience
dictates to him; but outside of his religion he
can make no better boast than that he is free
citizen Of this great American republic.

We, the People of the United States.
That natural instinct which makes our natu-
rallied citizens remember with affection the
shores upon which they turned their backs,
for the purpose of seeking fortune under the
advantages afforded by free government and
q still undeveloped country on this side of the
Atlantic, is not to be disparaged or lightly
spoken of, for, next to the love which a man
has for his immediate family, it is one of the
strongest feelings which the Almighty has
implanted in the breasts of mankind. We
would be far from censuriDg any foreigu-born
citizen for preferring the society Of his own
countrymen, or for turning whistful glances at
times from the fair land which he has chosen
for his home to that across the seas where he
had his birth. Until our great Western prairies
are settled, and the at present uncultivated
tracts OF land on this continent are brought
under cultivation, large proportion of the
American nation will be composed of hetero-
geneous mixture of what Mr.. Roebuck, M. P,
In his recent insulting speech at the dinner OF
the Cutters Company, in Sheffield, describes
as "wild lrishmen, fiery Frenchmen, assassi-
mating Italians, and dumbfounded spaniards, )"
and to these we must add the sober, hard
working Germans. These persons, however.
by becoming citizens of the United States,
take upon themselves new obligations, and, tc
a certain extent at least, they agree to forget
their originally different nationalities and tc
range themselves in the common brotherhoot
of the American people. 1t is the policy o
sound statesmanship to bring about this resul
as soon as possible, aud to make it the proudes
thought Of every man who claims the protec

Is IT PEAoE OR WAR H--The advices from
Europe by cable, to-day, are quite as conflict
ing as usual. From Paris we are assured that
the defeat Of M. Dufaure is interpreted as an
omen favorable to the continuance Of peace.
King William, of Prussia, likewise assures
the world that ''he does not see any cause for
the disturbance of the peace Of Europe" From
London comes another story, and as 1t has
not run the risk of governmental manipula-
tion 1t is in all probability the most reliable.
The Pail Mall GoSette, one of the most saga
cious and careful of the London journals, in
leading article on the prospects of peace or war
declares that, in every capital of Europe, the
belief iu the certain coming Of great inter-
national conflict is steadily increasing, and that
the best informed meu anticipate its outbreak
before the close of the present year. ''Tne
empire is peace ~ cries Napoleon, but all
Europe distrusts his utterances. SO wide
spread is this distrust that the Emperor him
self, in recent speech at Chalons, closed by
declaring that che would say no more, as the
public prints are sure TO draw prophecies of
war, however moderate his words" In short,
war is a necessity to the Napoleozic dynasty,
but II is highly important that the first blow
should come from another quarter than France.
So Napoleon arms and waits, and all Europe
is entrenched for the impending conflict.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.


German History OF the Progress of the Wire.
[FrOm the London News, June H.
Some interesting facts In the history of telegraphic
communication are given by Herr Neumann in an Of
fetal report just published at Vienna.
II appears from this report that line OF telegraph
was opened between Persia and Russia via the eau
casus 80 early as 1859. Telegraphic communication
between Europe and Northern Asia was also f1rst es-
tablished by the Russian government, which laid
down line between Moscow and Omsk in 1882, and
extended IL to the sea OF Japan via Irkutsk and XII
achta in 1884. Russian telegraphic agency exists
at Pekin, through which messages are transmitted
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The line is
now being carried to Behring Strait by Ochotsk, and
II the plan OF the United States government to es-
tabish telegraph through the territory lately ceded
to 1t by Russia Ia carried out there will soon be an
uninterrupted line Of teegraphs round the earth.
The longest line In the world is that between San
Francisco and st. Johns Newfoundland distance
Of nine hundred geographical miles,
Herr Neumann annexes to his report some statis-
tical tables showing that the total length OF the Eu
rOpean telegraphs ID 63.340 geographical miles; OF
those in America 14239; OF those in Asia, 736; OF
those in Australia 1,S42; Of those in Africa 1904
exclusive OF submarine lines. There In all 12O0
telegraph stations, and the number Of persons EN-.
poyed In them Is about 900. The total weight OF
the wires is calculated at about 900 cwt and
there are about 100000 telegraph posts, which 1t
costs 00O 00Of. year to keep up. The capital ex-
pended in the construction of the various telegraphs
Is 412, 500, ,00Of.

every ball player I'm the country s willing to concede
that point. But II persons outside OF Bufao cannot
