practice has been unearthed by the police.

tails are revolving. The police have dis

Salt Lake Tribune.
That decision of Judge Rowland, in In
dianapOlis. that provision must be made to
teach German in the graded public schools
in the State of Indiana, ought to
cause the Americans of that State
peals the law which provides for such
school sy stem of the United States to COM
pei the teaching of foreign language In
the schools. If German is taught then
French should be taught, and, more nee
essary than either. Spanish should be
taught. We think it would be a
good idea to have Spanish taught In
every public school in the United States,
for the peaceable conquest of all the Span
ish-Amerlcan countries by the next two or
three generations of young men from the
United States is a foregone conclusion, and
they go south. to speak the language
are going to live. The teach
ing of German in schools will do no
harm; in fact, all educated men ought to
have knowledge, if possible. of the mod
ern languages of Europe most used. The
wrong of the thing is thai the insiStence on
such law is class legislation. and such a
law never could have been gotten on the
statute books of Indiana except
to conciliate and curry wv favor
with the German vote. we are
very tired of the German vote, the Scan
dinavian vote, the Irish vote. or any other
vote in these United States except the
American vote. and any such statute among
the laws Of Indiana is simply an evidence
that some demagOgues in the Legislature
betrayed their trust for the sole purpose of
gaining possible political advantage.

They Play I'm Hard Luck.

Amos Rusie, the Hoosier pitcher of the
New York team. is in the city, and will re-
main until tomorrow morning, when he
will go to Cincinnati to pitch the opening
game of the series there. Rusie says it is
hard luck that has been defeating Mutrie's
men rather than the good playing of the
opposing clubs. He is anxious to 60 into
the box in two of the games
here against Cleveland, and guaran-
tees to win them both. The big
pitcher has not lost any flesh, and
looks as if New York life agreed W ith him.
He claims he is pitching as good ball as
ever. but that the New Yorks scarcely ever
have the same team in the field three games
in succession. A letter from Mutrie, which
he exhibited, asked him to have Ed DOno-
van, the catcher and outtielder of the
Grand Avenues. at the park Thursday of
next week, so that the New York manager
can size up the latter's qualities as back
stop. Rusie has been urging Mutrie to give
Donovan trial, which will probably be
done.
