Cardinal Gibbons Addresses Them t. the
Catholics mt Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Ang. 18.-Cardinal Gibbons
was taken to-day before the German Gath
olic National Verein. He referred to Ger
man citizens as the most thrifty, most con-
servative and most prosperous of our peo-
pie. It was his hope that the members of
the verein would thoroughly identify them
selves with the spirit of the country in
which they lived; that they would take an
active personal interest in public affairs, and
that, while not advising them to become
politicians in the unfavorable sense of that
term or that they would even be too ambi-
tious for political Offices, they would labor
in common with their fellow citizens in
using their best efforts in electing to offices
the most upright and eligible candidates.
Like Ruth, who left her native soil and
followed her adopted mother to the land of
promise" said the cardinal, ''you
have followed your friends across
the Atlantic. saying, with Ruth, your coun-
try shall be my country, and your God my
God. and as Ruth became the mother of a
race of kings, 30 are you and your children
destined to be rulers of this great nation.
Not, perhaps, by holding the reins of gov
ernment, but in your capacity as sovereign
citizens" In the convention Henry j..
Spaunhorst, president, delivered the annual
address. He commented severely upon the
Bennett school law recently passed in Wis
