The same spirit which penned the
Declaration of Independence has
ever since controlled the Democratic
party. The love of the rights of

defeat, inspires it STILL No Demo-

About two years ago an association was
formed in Boston at the instance of one Of
the most prominent ladies Of that city, with
n view Of raising fund TO present a memo
rial TO the French Government, not only IA
recognition Of the part which France took
m the conflicts of the Revolution, but in re-
turn for the BarthOldi statue erected in New
York harbor. and the magnificent statue Of
Lafayettee in Union Square. The proposed
memorial was 10 take the form Of a statue of
Washington, the most appropriate and ac-
ceptable form that it could take, and about
$4,000 were collected for the purpose Of
carving the plan into effect, but beyond
this nothing was accomplished, and for a
time the plan practically fell through
ON Wednesday, meeting was held in
Washington composed Of the wives Of
prominent public men all ladies Of great
social prominence. with the object Of re-
organizing the Memorial Association and
pushing the purpose it had in view, to a
successful issue. II was estimated that
the proposed statue would cost not less
than $4,000, of which amount 5000 pre-
viously collected are now in the hands Of the
Association. and il is stated that acdve
steps will be taken TO raise the remaining
sum.
There can De no doubt that the general
object for which the association was formed
is deserving Of the very highest approval OF
every American citizen. A statue OF Wash
ington is i'm one sense. a statue of liberty
and as such could be as appropriately cree
ted in France rs in America. If the United
States could present statue Of Wash
ington to every civilized nation ON the
globe, the gift would not seem inapt or i'm
proper.
While the object Of the association is en-
titled 10 unstinted commentator, it cannot
but be regretted that tine energy which its
members are showing in the way of max
ing collections TO carry out their purpose,
had not first been directed 10 sustaining the
movement now on foot to erect statue TO
the mother Of Washington at fredericks-
burg. That movement, unfortunately, is
laneuishing for need Of popular support, a
fact which constitutes a very grave reilec-
ton upon the American people, TO
whose attention the subject has been
repeatedly called, but 50 far with
only very limited success. The patriotism
of such movement is far more striking
tha>ihat Of the memorial association, and
more deserving, in consequence, of the ma
tionai sympathy and aid. IL is sincerely 10
be hoped that the activity Of this association
in securing funds for the statue OF Wash
ington will quicken the energies Of those
who are interested in the monument TO be
erected TO the mother Of that illustrious

MILWAUKEE MUNICIPAL ELECTION

The result Of the municipal election in
the city Of Milwaukee on Tuesday has at
tracied an unusual degree Of attention, as
having turned on probably the most unique
issue that has ever arisen in the history OF
American politics, and yet one, under the
prevailing circumstances, not at all uneN-
pected. because entirely natural.
Wisconsin, like several other Northwest
orn states. is very largely settled 10y popu-
lation directly drawn from continental
Europe. and the members Of which continue

tant communities are composed almost

public schools. in consequence, foreign
tongues alone are heard. In order TO bring
about some change in this respect, the
Legislature Of Wisconsin passed what is
known a. the Bennett law, which required
that all instruction in the public schools
shall be conveyed in the English language,
