Lowell Resents the Charge of Being Unamer.
icanized.

From peech at Ashfeld
have been struck, since I came back with
certain imputations. l am not going to talk
about myself, and | am not going to make a
speech. l have spoken for you SO many times
on the other side of the water that now feel I
have right to be placed on the retired list
But couldn't fail to be- struck on my return
home with certain dstrust of America which
has leaked out from remarks in certain newSpa-
pers as to whether man could live eight years
out of America without learning to prefer Eu-
rope. l have known the same re mark to be
made of people who have not lived in Europe so
long, and it seems to me to import what should
call very unworthy distrust of the power of
America to inspire affection. | feel to-day in
looking into your faces. somewhat as did when
/ took my first walk over the hills after my re-
turn. The tears came into my eyes as was
welcomed by the familiar wayside flowers the
trees and the birds. that had been my earliest
friends. 1t seems to me that those who take
such view quite miscalcuate on the force of
the affection that man feels for his country.
1t is some deeper than sentiment-infnItely
deeper-deeper than any instinct. 1t is that
feeling of sef-renunciation and idealization
which Ruth of old expressed to Noomi: ''Entreat
me not to leave thee, to return from following
after thee for whittier thou goest will 60; and
where thou lodgest will lodge thy people shall
be my people. and thy God my God. Where
thou diest. will die and there will he buried;
the Lord do so to me and more also. If aught but
death part me and thee" This. it seems to me,
is the instructive feeling that man has for his
native land. Attic same time this does not
exclude the having of clear eyes to see the faults
of ones country / think, as an old president of
Harvard College said once to person who was
demonstrating with him for speaking harshly Of
opinion, who kept suggesting. Charity, doctor,
you should have charity" Yes, yes I know.
But charity has eyes and ears and won't be made

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.
Senator CullOm Says the Senate Will Test the
Issue with Cleveland.

Washington Special.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, arrived here to-
day from Saratoga He says he was quoted
correctly as saying
1T is certain that the Republican senators
intend to oppos the confirmation of every APP
pointment made by the President where a re-
moval has been made for offensive partisan
ship"
Senator Cullom sid to me yesterday: "We
propose to try this issue of offensive partisan
ship to the very uttermost We will make a
war from the very word 60, on that issue We
regard the administrations position on this point
as simply one of humbug and pretense We
propose to show up that position in its true light
In order to justify removal the administra
ton must be able to show something more than
the fact that the official so removed has only
taken an ordinary interest and part in politics.
1t will not do for the administration to remove
men for offensive partisanship and appoint of
fensive partisans in their places. The answer
that they make to this objection is that Demo
cratic partisans are not in Office, and that mere
appointment will change their entire character
and remove them at once from the field of politics.
Now believe this is all hypocrisy and sham.
Ii the administration had removed men simply
because they were Republicans, and put good
Democrats in their places the Republican sena
tors would not have dreamed of making gen
eral fight against his appointments But as it
is, we propose to try each case upon its merits.
and then decide for ourselves how much this
offensive partisanship shall stand as bar to
holding Office"
The New York World. in commenting on
Culloms talk, says that '.he next session of
Congress promises to be one of the liveliest that
has been known for some years. The Democrats
who have been complaining because the Presi
dent has been too slow will find that with a Re
publican Senate acting as brake. he will have
to 60 even slower than before. The Republicans
think that they have an enormous point of ad
vantage over the President in his offensive par
tisanship issue. In order for him to obtain an
unobiectionable appointment to them. he must
find some Democrat who has never worked for
the party who has never been prominently
identified in its management. Such line of ap
pointments will hardly strengthen the President
with the working element of his own party"

The New Postal Cards.

WASHINGTON Sept IAN installment Of
100, 900 postal cards from the new contractor
arrived at the city postofice to-day. The new
cards differ considerably from the old cards in
appearance. The size is exactly the same. The
design is printed in light brown color. Instead
of the head OF the Goddess of Liberty in the
vignette in the corner appears fine engraving
of Jeffersons head. Instead of the monogram
'U. S." the new cards have the words United
States" printed at length. On the address side
of the old cards were printed the words. "Noth
ing but the address can be placed on this side"
This expression has always been criticised a
little as not being true, as a person could write
anything he chose on that side though the card
might not be received at the postofice. The ex
preston has been changed on the new card so as
to read as follows Nothing but the address to
be written on this side"
