The Land League proposition to raise
men and money to aid Arab Pashs is criti-
cised by the Boston Pilot as hare-brained
and absurd. Harm is done, it declares, by
putting the Land League 10 a false position
in Ireland and America as well. 1t adds
"Irish-AmericRns may sympathize with
Arab, as they do, to q man, but IL they
want to give him practical assistance they
must do so as individuals or by special or
ganization. The Land League has work of
its own to do, and is not to be diverted"

to the civilized world. 1t was originally In

Germans In America increase twice as rap
idly as Anglo-Saxons and more than twice
as rapidly as the Irish. The belief has been
expressed that the American of the future

plexion; aud the New Orleans 1baeS-DemO-
erat thinks he will prefer lager to waisky,
be less noisy than he is (Which presumes
that German is less noisy than an Amer
fcan), and that he will love music and sau-
sages. This is a pleasant prospect, pro-
vided that some oftJhe sausages are also less
"loud."
