1t should be dropped. A man should
either be an unqualified American or no
American at all.
1t is true the old poet said: "Breathes
there q man with soul so dead. who
never to himself has said, this is my
own, my native land !" but when man
leaves the old home tree and makes for
himself q home, the old home Is not the
home around which that mans deepest
interests center. The man who regards
his European birthright as of greater
value than his American citizenship,
should take the advice of the old Quaker
to the young man, who serenading, the
Quaker's daughter, sang "Sweet Home"
"Friend," said the Quakar, "me thinks

place like home why doesn't thee. 60

BOARD OF TRADE.

Slim Meeting--Not Much Bushes s
At the meeting Of the Board of trade
the president submitted the following
report:
SAN ANTONIO, April %, 1888.
CONTINENTAL the last general meet
ing of this association / submitted to
you my second monthly report of the re-
suits and mplishments Of your
board, and will claim your attention for
a few moments in order to make this
my
THIRD MONTHLY REPORT.
In concluding my previous report, |
referred to the prospective establish.
ment of "smelter" In San Antonio and
to this end, committee was appointed
to undertake the matter. Ihave had re-
ports from this committee, which in
cline me to believe that at no late date
we will accomplish the matter Of q
"smelter."
The president of the 'rKansss City
Smelling Co." as we'll as the president
Co." met with your board of directors
upon two occasions and expressed them
selves as very much in favor of locating
their works here. but required bonus
to be raised by the citizens of San Anro-
MO, as an inducement. The committee
selected has been hard at work, some
twelve thousand dollars having been
raised thus far. 1t is needless for me to
recite to you the advantages that would
accrue to San Antonio by reason OF hav-
ing a smelter located in our midst, and
l would ask of each individual member
OF this association to lend his hearty
support to the committee who has this
enterprise In chargs.
AS a further result of the efforts of
your board of directors l would name
the establishment of wool and Cot
ton Exchange" and still further, the Or
ganizstion Of the 'tBanker's associa-
tion."
At the last regular meeting Of the
board of directors of this association,
MIR. John Howard, of and for Texas, ex.
planned his method of advertising the
state, and | would refer you to the San
Antonio Dsily Express, of Sunday, April
22d, which contains Mr.. Towards state
ments In this regard. and l would urge
upon you the necessity Of supporting
Mr.. Howard's enterprisiDg efforts.
A most important result attained by
this board OF trade is the revision of the
wool tariff as published in the Express
of the oath inst, which you no doubt
have all observed as being largely in fa-
vor of San Antonio against Houston and
Galveston.
Thanking you for your attention, l
will conclude by stating that our finances
are in good condition and this organ
izstion Is fOurishing.
Respectfully yours,
VIM. HEUERMANN. ST.,
LOUIS w. ADAE. President.

AMERICAN OR NOTHING.

The snobbery of Americans in aping
the peculisrities of Euglishmen, or
Frenchmen, or Germans, has received
Just and unqualified rebuke at the hands
of the most sensible writers and speak
ers in this country. AnglOphobia has 80
little to commend it to the consideration
of any one at home or abroad that ii
scarcely deserves the consideration of
denunciation. But there is another
phase of un-Americanism which does
deserve severe condemnation, because it
/, more than silly affectatiOn, doing no
one any harm but the simpletons who
have it bad. This is that phase of nom
Americanism which claims American
protection, American privilege, Amer
lean citizenship and yet subordinates
that citizenship to the nationality
from which those who claim it
originally sprung. This country
contains thousands Of so-called Amer
lean citizens who do not attach
anything distinctive, special, particul ar
USoiiSUiC W Va
citizenship and habtuslly subordinate it
in thought to the older citizenship,
which they or their immediate ancestors
acknowledged and claimed before COM
ing to America. These men, thousands
Of them, forget that in becoming Ameri-
can citizens they have ceased to be citi-
Zens of any other country. That they
not only have no right to think OF them
selves as in any way affiliate with any
other country, but that they are in duty
bound to regard themselves specially
sbsolved from any ideas or feelings that
would In any way weaken their attach
ment to the land of their adoption. If
America is worthy OF them and they are
worthy OF America, the worth of their
new home must be accepted as out
weighing all considerations of that
which they left behind. No man has
right to swear allegiance to America and
hold his heart affections for the land of
his foreign birth, any more than woman
has to promise wifely affection and inter-
est to a second husband while her heart
is In the grave of her first. 1t were just
as proper for widow Jones, having mar
ried Smith, to call herself Mrs.
Jones-Smith as for natural
lied Irishman or German to call
himself an Irish American, or German
American The Galveston Tribune in q
late editorial said, very sensiby, con-
corning this thing:
.'lsn't It about time that the terms
German Americans, Irish Americans,
ETC., ad nsuseum, we're tabooed? If the
plain, unqualified term American isn't
good enough for citizen OF this coun-
try, he should move out There Is
something belittling in the European
American designation. American citi-
zens are soverelgns in their own right
they constitute the American royalty.
To call a man an American is to desig-
nate him as one who owes allegiance
to no petty prince, accidental
king or queen by the grace of
chance; it Is to say that he was born free
as air and may claim equality Of birth
with the prOudest pOtentates OF earth.
To call him EurOpeRn-Americsn Is to
point him out as a man who, was not
born to this proud estate, as one who
