The nomination of RichA-d Guenther
of Oshkosh, Wis, to be COM ul-ieneral
of the United States in MexiNo is well
deserved.

nized.
Mr.. Guenther was at that time mem
Der Of the Fiftieth Congress. He is an
American citizen of German birth. He
was born in Potsdam, in Prussia, and he
had grown to manhood before ne came
to the United States A year ago our
relations with Germany reached criti-
cal stage. Beth the German Govern
ment and our own were hurrying naval
reinforcements to Apis bay. The ag-
gressive policy of the Germans in
Samoa and the outrageous insOlence of
the German commander at Apia had
strained to the point Of fracture the for
bearance Of the American naval officers
then stationed there. Another act of
open aggression, another insulting re-
ply from the commander Of the German
corvette Adler to the protests of the
American officers, might have provoked
the rejoinder in gunpowder and iron
that meant war.
There Is good reason to believe that
Prince Bismarck's government, count
Ing all the time upon the indecision and
boneless attitude of Mr.. Cleveland's
administration, was watching with ex-
traordinary interest the development of
sentiment among American citizens of
German birth or parentage. How would
they stand If matters were pushed still
further in Samoa? Would their SYM
patty be with the fatherland or tho
country of their adoption?
1t was at this juucture that Richard
juenther. speaking for his fellow-citi-
zens of German birth and German de-
scent. defined the question of duty and
allegiance in words as truly patriotic as
were ever uttered:
1--WE know as well as any other class Of
American citizens where our duties belong. We
will work for our country in time of peace and
should ever come. When 1 say our country I
mean, OF course, our adopted country. 1 mean
the United States of America. After passing
through the crucible Of naturalization we are
no longer Germans; We are Americans. Our
attachment to America can not be measured by
the length of our residence here. We are
Americans from the moment we touch the
American shore until We are laid in American
graves We will fight ior America whenever
necessary. America first last and all the time.
America against Germany; America against
he world; America, right or wrong; always
America We are Americans"
These are sentiments which Mr..
Guenther expressed at time when Ber-
lin was listening anxiously, and he
spoke for millions

A Florida Boys Nerve.

A boy living near Nassau City, Fla,
was out fire hunting few nights ago,
when he planted his foot on something
soft and slippery, and at once awakened
the warning notes of a rattlesnake. BY
the Pickering glare Of his torch he saw
that he had trod upon the reptile, but
fortunately had planted his foot on its
neck just back of the head, and, though
it folded it's Shiny coils around his ankle
and struck out with its fangs with
lightning-like rapidity, it was unable
to turn its head to do mischief. The
lad had presence of mind enough to
keep his foot firmly planted upon its
neck, while with the axe in his hand he
severed the head from the body.-Golden

SPooNER'S ELOQUENcE.
The Wisconsin Senator's Able Denuncis
ton Of Southern Treachery.

The Wisconsin Senator's Able Denuncia.
ton Of Southern Treachery.
Senator Spooner's remarks on the
Chandler resolution in reference to the
Aberdeen Miss incident, where the
Secretary Of War was hanged in ef!igy
because he would not display the United
States flag at half mast on the occasion
of Jefferson Davis death, had the true
patriotic ring, and will find responsive
echo in every loyal heart in the North.
His graphic description of the brutal
treatment of young Franz, because he
had accidentally cut an end of the rope
which sustained the efiigy and his Wig
orOus denunciation of those who par
tlcipated in the outrage, made the South
erners in the Senate feel very uncom-
Portable. In replying to Senator George,
who had referred to Davis as "a man
who had never betrayed his trust or
failed in the discharge of his full duty,
whether he served in the United States
or I'm the Confederacy," Mr.. Spooner
justly said that the people of the North
believed that Davis had sat in the Sem
ate chamber betraying daily and night
ly and hourly the highest trust ever re-
posed in man. He added, however, that
it was not for that alone that the loyal
people execrated his memory, but be-
cause they had held him responsible for
''the atrocities, the unspeakable, devil
ish, horrible cruelties visited on Union
prisoners at Libby prison, Belle Isle,
Salisbury and Andersonville. It was
because they charged him with the re-
sponsibility Of holding men prisoners of
war to starve them"
Senator Spooner closed by saying that
II the resolution accomplished nothing
in the way Of legislation, or Of consti-
tutional amendment, it would turn the
light on that disgraceful transaction at
Aberdeen. He said:
TT would prove the existence OF o spirit Of
bitterness and brutality there. 1t would show
that there was community, claiming to be in
telligent and law abiding where the love Of
Jefferson Davis memory Is stronger than re-
spect for law, stronger than love of liberty
stronger than the impulses Of humanity-the
law Of God written In every human heart. II
the resolution would accomplish nothing else,
1t would subserve that one good purpose"
Senator SpoOner has acquired the rep
utation of being second in eloquence as
an orator only to the brilliant Senator
from Kansas, Mr.. Ingalls,, and he has
never employed his great talents in a
manner which will give him stronger
hold upon the old Union soldiers or up
on all who were loyal to the Govern
ment during the war Of the rebellion
than in the speech from which the above
quotations have been made.
Let all the Republican Senators do as
Mr.. Spooner has done, denounce the
sentiment in the South which deifies a
traitor to the Government which edu-
Gated him, and then let them vote for

THE TREATY RATIFIED.
A Gratifying Triumph, for Mr.. Harrison's
Administrat

Administration.
The ratification of the Samoan treaty
was expected, although the opposition
to it was stronger than it was generally
thought to be. The fact that so con-
sentative and careful Senator as Mr..
Sherman sustained the treaty is proof OF
the sagacity with which our Commits
sioners to Berlin did their work. One
good result of the discussion of the
treaty by the Senate was the bringing
out of the fact that our Government has
bought lands adjoining the spacious
harbor of Pago Pago, one of the finest
and safest in the Pacific. ys1T

results of our successful diplomacy, but

that it will get from Republican ad-

FARMERS ALLIANCES.
They Are Growing Like Summer
Weeds in California.

Weeds In California.
P. T. Durfy of Monte Vista was in the
city yesterday. He was delegate to
the Farmers alliance meeting at San
Jose, and returns very much interested
in the present and future of the order.
He says President Cannon is in Los An
geles now, and that new alliances are
being formed right and left, while the
membership is increasing with marvel
GUS rapidity. Organizers are out all
over this lower country forming new
alliances at many points.
Mr.. Durfy thinks the future of the or
ganization depends mostly on maintain
ing its purity of elements and
of purpose. One of the great trou-
bles is to keep the membership
confined strictly to farmers, to those
who are directly interested in the culti-
vation OF the soil in some shape. The
great success of the organization is at
tracing attention, and all sorts of COM
binations seem anxious to get into the
new order. Many labor organizations
are coming to the door to make inquiries
as to terms OF affiliation, and the Nation
allsts are asking for direct admission.
While the labor people are practical,
their interests are not by any means
identical with those of the farmers, and
the Nationalists are mostly theorists.
To let in all sorts of people means to
complicate the aims and workings of the
organization. Antagonisms and divis-
ions, Misunderstanding and strife will
ensue.
AS it is desirable to keep the member
ship free from entangling alliances, so it
is to preserve the order from the inter-
ference of the old political parties. Mr..
Durfy regrets the introduction of the
contest over the Lodge force bill in the
National Alliance at Ocala, Florida.
That he regards as sectional and pure
ily political question, involving the
Democratic and Republican party inter-
ests mainly. He thinks the alliance
should keep alooffrom all such questions
OF political nature, and confine itself
entirely to such matters as concern
the organization and the direct
interests of the members. The Alliance
ought to advocate the election of men
from either party who will pledge them
selves to further the interests of the
farmers.
The above is free report Of general
conversation, and not to be taken as re-
Hecting the sentiments of the speaker
as a verbatim report would.

Democrat OF this city severely to
task for opposing him, and
said young Democrat retorted: II

after some discussion bet of $3.50 a side
was agreed upon, and the money put up

had the big head. The money was
raked down yesterday by the said young
Democrat, who saw what was going to
