habitual user of whisky the best thing
that the republican party can do Is to

and give it to their congressman to drink
in place of the vile stuff that they now
use and see if it will not improve their
craftsmanship.

THE SCHOOL ISSUE.
Chicago Germans Give Express
sion to Their Views.
RADICAL IDEAS CARRY THE DAY.

Resolutions Adopted Demanding the
Any Language-The Democratic State
Convention To Be Appealed to-German
Roman Catholic Societies Gather at
Milwaukee with the Object of Going
into Politics. A
CHICAGO, May ga large number of
representative German citizens met in
lungs hall, at 1o6 Randolph street, last
night, to further consider the compulsory
educational law question. Resolutions
which had been formulated by commit
tee, demanding certain changes in the
compulsory school law with the object of
making said law conform to German
i'd ,as, were presented and were the sub
ject of discussion. What German ideas
are appears from the action of the meet
lag given below.
An Amendment Proposed.
The resolutions were read to the meet
ing, and Mr. Stern offered an amendment
to the effect that the law should be changed
so that it may be optional for the parent
to have the child instructed at private
schools in any language or any course of
instruction, provided that in such private
schools course of study comprising the
English language. reading and writing,
arithmetic, spelling, .,ssts-Il- Of the United
States, and geography is taught.
Vigorous Opposition Develops.
This proposition brought Francis A.
Hoffman, Jr., to his feet in vigorous oppo-
sition He denied the right of the state to
designate any particular language or
course of instruction in a purely private
school, He believed in compulsory edu-
cation, and, where it was practicable, was
in favor of lengthening the time child
should be required to attend school. but
he did not believe the state possessed the
right to say to parent who lived up to
the law, but instructed his child in his
own way ard at his own expense, what
manner or form of education he should
have, and IN what language.
Hands OF Private schools.
The law might regulate the public
schools, and it was right that il should,
but he did not believe it could go so far as
to say that parent might not teach his
child unless he taught English. He took
strong ground against the opening para
graph of the resolutions reported by the
committee. and moved that the portion
allowing the legislature to fix standard
of elementary education and providing
that an English course should be taught
in all private schools should he stricken
out. Several speakers followed Mr.. Hoff-
man, agreeing with his views. and the
words were eliminated by unanim Gus
vote, and the resolutions were then
adopted.
Wants 1t Settled at Once.
In short speech, Mr.. Hoffman, said
that the school matter must be settled at
once, and that the foreign born American
was tired of the course of the Republican
party. That party was invading his pri-
vate rights, and seeking To destroy his lib
erty. 1t was decided to send a committee
to the Democratic convention to present
the resolutions adopted. and urge their in
corporation in the party platform.

LONDON, May 27.-The French govern
ment is sounding other European states in
regard to an international movement
against Anarchists, the object substan-
tally being mutual agreement among
the nations of Europe, and of America
also, If they can be induced to join, to de-
liver up all persons guilty of Anarchist
violence, and to spare no effort to suppress
such offenders. In this respect the French
and Germans are for once agreed, the
French ministry expressing entire accord
with the views of the German emperor
that If the conditions of the common peo-
pie is to be improved, anarchy must be
extinguished
The countries most in the way of such
an arrangement would be Switzerland and
England. In England very decided evil

in Great Britain, would permit the extra

might be difficult to draw an exact line
