up in this city and throughout the country.
In science, music, the arts, in learning and
education they are taking distinguished posi-
ton. At this moment they are cogitating
plans for celebrating in this city the centennial
anniversaries of those world-famed twin
miracles of knowledge and philosophy, of
earthly melody and heavenly harmony, Hum
boldt and Beethoven. In taking advantage of
snch occurrences the Germans are little ahead
Of our Celtic fellow citizens, for the Teutons are
triumphant musical festival IN the Park just
about the time of the municipal election.
This musical dodge of the Germans will be
found difficult to overcome. 1t will be equal
In its political and social effects to the clam
ibakes at Greenwich or to the champagne and
game suppers at the Manhattan Club in Fifth
avenue.
In short, the German element is aroused,
and is bound to make fight if it is not
promptly respected by St. Tammany. A re-
cent event has accelerated this movement of
the Germans. One of their NUMBER repre-
sentative man and gentleman respected for
his honesty, character and wealth-Mr. Jacob
Cohen, waited upon the Grand Dispenser Of
the Tammany loaves and fishes, the manager
Of the Tammany slate, and informed him that
he believed it was time his class Of people
should be represented in said distribution;
that they had put him forward as candidate
for Tammany nomination for Supervisor,
and gently limited that he expected the
honor The manager Of the slate, in one of
his genial and pleasant, yet demonstrative
ways, remarked that that nomination was
''not for jacob" that particular friend of
his own had been selected for the place
and that his name was already slated.
Mr.. Cohen, automatically assuring the
manager of the slate of his distinguished
consideration, blunty told him that in that
case he (Mr. Cohen) would run as an indie
pendent candidate; that the democrats in
different wards had determined to support
him, and that once in the fight he would make
rough and tumble one of it, let who would
come out the winner.
Thus is the gage of battle thrown down.
Celt against Teuton, Americas against Man
haitian, Tweed against Belmont. The alarum
has been sounded. 1t has been responded to
from Indian Cove or Indian Grove, in Connec-
ticut, by the leader of the Celts It will no
doubt soon be heard from Baden Baden or
the silent per silent Bourse in Paris Then let
Belmont come home, take off his kid gloves,
divest himself of his satin lined coat, roll up
lose. And may the Lord of Isaac and of
Jacob and Of Pat and of Hans decide who
shall come forth triumphant. Tan-tara!
