AMERICAN-BORN FOEEIGNERS.

Al the Holland -OcictyS dinner on Friday
night Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt made some re-
marks III an Old-fa>hiOncd way upon old
fashioned subject. After recalling the social.
political, military, financial and other trumphS
Of American citizens of Dutch ancestry, Mr..
Roosevelt made the point that whatever may
have been the strength and virtue Of their lIo-
land blood they wrought aS Americans. and
could not have won the rcpOwn that has re
wardcd their labors had they remained IIo-
landcrS here. He then proceeded to apply this
point 70 existing situations, and to urge the
duty OF all foreigners to become heartily and
sincerely American. This is in no sense new
suggestion, but it needs 10 be constantly en-
forced upon the attention. not only Of foreign
crs but Of native born Americans aS well.
There is class Of Americans almost con
fined to the Eastern cities who have seemed
to think it an evidence Of culture and of social
and intellectual rank TO indulge in supcrclliouS
reflections upon their country and their country
men. We have lately feared that thi, class of
people was growing, not merely among the silly
creatures who have neither brains nor any uSo
for brains, but among really cStmabc person,
and as the result Of a propaganda undertaken
primarily in the interest of certain European
economic theories. The zeal and industry of
those in charge Of the propaganda have not
seemed TO hc satisfied with those comparison,
which in their eyes show the superior excel
lcncc of foreign industrial systems, but they
have felt it necessary also to snccr at all things
commonly thought 20 be characteristic Of our
society.
They snecr at our politics, declaring in ef-
feet that no such thing exists as an honest
American politician; that all oiliccholdcrs in
this land, where we teach Oniccholdng 10 be

There are, it appears, several flaws in the
law passed last year aboliShing the use of
stoves in passenger cars in this State In the
course of a series Of interviews on the subject
with representatives of the New orh rail-
roads, which we publish this morning, it is
pointed out that the range which the law per-
mits to be carried in the dining room cars for
the purpose of cooking food may cook the pas
sengers instead in the event of "A wreck. More
over, there is a weak provision in the statute
which allows stove and boiler for supplying
heat to the train to be carried on a special car
which presents a similar danger. With these
exceptions the law seems TO have obtained uni
versal approval and nearly all the roads in this
State have already complied with its iniunc
tons, many of them incurring a great expense
by doing so In a thorough and effective man
ner. The car-stOve has had its day. and is
now doing duty as constituent of the scrap

fort by throwing all their fine scorn into the
quotation marks with which they lnvarlaOly
surround the word journalism. They have not
yet got ready to attack the public school syS-
TEN or freedom of worship, but they do what
they can TO prevent the extension OF the puoiic
school system, and they plainly INDICATE that
they have more faith in the piety of a Bishop
who is also "My Lord y than of one whose
character is unaded by civil title. They APP
parenty act upon the belief that it is sign OF
broad -mindedneSs and liberality to take that
view of a method or that side of a controversy
which is antagonStc to the popular American
view.
These people are not very susceptible to
arguments. but they are painfully sensitive as
to the impression they produce upon others.
They wish to be thought vastly clever. II it
could only be got into their heads that, on the
contrary they really excite only pity and rdi-
cule, il would probably do them good.

THE WAL1Z is DOOMED.

The waltz is doomed The news comes from
Vienna, the home par excellence of the waltz /;
and the hand that deals the mortal blow is none
other than that of Strauss, who may almost be
regarded as the creator Of the dance. The
genuine waltz IS too fast for our sclt-indulgcnt
habits. We cannot keep up with the rapid
whlrl, the constant succession Of quick measured
steps and turns We dine late now. and-as
rcsards many OF us-too well. The spectacle of
persons FRESH from dinner of half dozen
courses and unlimited champagne attempting 10
keep pace 10 the dashing strains of the Hungarian
band Is not cdilSing. Consequently many at
tcmpts have been made 10 modify the severity
of the dance. Various slow waltzes have been
introduced, and the ORIGINAL measure has been
reduced in some cases 10 four ungaiuly hops in
others to a couple Of shutting slides. IL is these
that Herr Strauss describes as conversation
dances He now proposes 10 give MS something
