SHOULD RE AMERICANS.

The peculiar political contest which
threatens to develop in Wisconsin gives
opportunity for emphasizing the doc
trine that no matter where American
citizens may have been born, or what
country they may claim as their father
land, their duty here is to be Americans
and Americans only.
There is not the slightest objection to
citizens of foreign birth indulging in
rem niniscences of the history and tradi-
tons of their native land. The English
man in his mindful mood may be allowed
to revel in the history of his country from
the granting of the great charter down
to the American Revolution. The
Scotchman may continue to revere st.
Andrew and Robert Burns. The Irish
man, to his hearts content. may swear
by st. Patrick and Robert Emmett
The German may yield his allegiance
to King Gambrinus and Bismarck, and
so with the others.
But in the presence of an'AmericanIin-
terest all these nativist recollections and
sentiments must give way to para
mount sense of duty. In regard to any
American institution, considered as
such, the man who says u am German,
or English, or Irish" is unfit for citizen
ship in its best sense
In Wisconsin they have law which
is known as the Bennett law. Its pur.
p ose is to provide that the English
language shall be taught in all the
schools of the State. The school sys.
tim in that State is compulsory, but at.
tendance at private or parochial school
whue the curriculum mainly conforms
to that of the public school system has
been held to practically fulfill the re-
quircments of the act in respect to at.
tendance.
! But the Bennett law requires that il
any school that can be recognized by
the State authorities certain instruction
shall be given in the English language
There are in Wisconsin whole town.
ships where no English is spoken and
where no English is taught. An at
tempt to enforce the Bennett act aroused
the wrath of the whole German, and
especially the Scandinavian, popula-
tion. AT the recent municipal election
in Milwaukee the Democrats took ad.
vantage Of the excited state Of the pub
lie mind, and the movement so begun
threatens to overrun the whole State.
In taking this course the Democrats
as we think, acted most unwisely. The
position they have taken is in every
way indefensible. The Republican
party is prepared to stand by the law
and will insist on Americanizing tn
schools and on securing in the institu
tions recognized by the State the neces
sary amount of instruction in the Eng
lish language. In this it will be eventu
ally sustained. Indeed, it is a question
whether it will not be Immediately sus
tanned, for already there is on foot
citizens movement carried on by Demo
Gratis who cannot join in the crusad
against American ideas and the common
schools. The Bennett law may requir
great discretion and wisdom in its exc
cution, but TO oppose it for temporar
advantage looks like political short
sightedness, and 1t may prove to be
political folly.

how man, with an instrument Hike
that, could be an artist. The musician,
however, asked for an investigation.
A competent authority was designated
to examine Lin in melody, harmony,
counterpoint composition, instrument
tation and execution. The tuba player
stood the test gloriously. Even the
musical critic of the Post could not
have answered more satisfactorily.
Then the musician took up his instru-
ment as Merlin might have done ages
ago and played annie Laurie"--on
the tuba, mind you-with such beguil-
ing sweetness that the officials soul
was entranced, and there remained not
in his mind one lingering suspicion
that the tuba player was not an artist
He was admitted.

Mr.. GLADSTONE has always been re-

When conversipg with a friend let your

TO impress him with the fact that you

Avoid all eccentricity, all verbal infellcity,
Such linguistic iim-ians give pain.
