GERMAN-AMEKICANs INsULTED
They Ask Removal of Gen. Grosvenor
From the Immigration Commission.


From the Immigration Commission.
Sr. LOUIS, May 30-What purported to
be an interview with General Grosyenor,
chairman of the committee appointed to
go abroad and study the emigration ques-
ton, was widely circulated yesterday. In
it, referring to the evils of unrestricted
immigration, ne spoke of Wisconsin as al
most foreign state
This caused great indignations among
the Germans here, and Richard Bartholdt,
secretary of the German-American So
cieties of the United States, today sent
a telegram to Secretary of the Treasury
Foster, saying that. judging from Gros-
venor's interview. they can expect from
him neither the exercise of unbiased judg-
ment nor an impartial report. His preju-
dice DISPLAYED against Wisconsin is know
nothingism, pure and simple. Bartholdt
adds that the bulk of the Germans must
be classified among the best Amer
leans, and in the West they have
constituted the bone and sinew
of the Republican party since the war.
He believed he voiced the sentiment Of
the majority of fGerman-Americans in ask
ing Foster to withdraw Grosyenor's ap-
pointment, "for which," Ays Bartholdt.

The people of Deering did sensible thing.
yesterday In voting to abolish the old system
OF town government and. replace 1t by form
OF city goyerRhfe6t similar to that In use
successfully in several of the smaller cities
OF Maine. The old town meeting has hard
~ been success of late years In town so
large as Deering has grown. with many COM
plicated questions arising continually with
regard to schools, sewers, streets and gener-
al municipal improvements. 1t has been i'm
possible to get the citizens of the most popu
lated portions of the town to attend the
meetings in large numbers. leaving minori-
ties to settle very important questions Of
town government. The new form of city
government adopted yesterday is very SIM
pie. The town will be divided into seven
wards, each to be represented In the city gov
eminent by an alderman. A mayor will be
elected by the general vote of the town.
There will be no common council, as In
Portland. Upon the city council will de-
volve the administration of the affairs of the
town. 1t will elect the city clerk, assessors
and treasurer. establish fire and police de-
partments, and In general take tho place of
the town meeting In running the affairs of
the city. A municipal court will be another
of the features OF Deering city life. The
new city will be ready to enter the sisterhood
OF Maine cities next spring. her advent be-
ing provided for by the following section CT
the charter provided by the legislature:
Section 10. For the purpose of organizing the
system OF government hereby established, and
putting the same In operation in the first instance
the selectmen Of the town SHALL at least seven
days before the first Monday of March, after the
acceptance OF this charter, issue their warrant
for calling meeting of the legal voters at such
place and hour of the day as they shall choose
Tor the purpose OF choosing mayor, seven alder
from the city at large said officers shall be elect
ed by plurality vote.
The organization of this second city ada
cent TO Portland is an event OF considerable
significance. 1t is claimed by many that thu
growth Of Portland is too slow, indicating
lack Of enterprise. But 1t must be remem
bered that this new city across the bridge II
almost as much part of Portland's growth
as Is the development ofrecent years toward.
the Western Promenade. The Industries Of
DeeriDg are not considerable. and most OF
the people thrive by bust ness carried on In
Portland, or closely related to Portland In
dustries. The growth of Deering is really
Portland's growth, and the birth of the new
city on our border line speaks more for Port
lands prosperity than returns Of census
agents or assessors.

In the article printed the other day on the
pedIgrees of Nelson and Allerton 1t was
stated that their ancestry could be traced
back to the barley Arabian, imported into
England from the East in the reign of Queen
Anne. or about two hundred years ago.
This seems long time for the family rec
ords Of a horse TO be kept; but General
Grant is authority for the statement that in
the East 1t is not uncommon for the history
of equine families to be kept for a much
longer time. When General Grant was in
Constantinople in the spring of 1873, he was
allowed to visit the stables of the Sultan,
where all the horses were of the most APP
proved blood. In the stables visited there
were about seventy horses. and General
Grant was told that the pedigrees of all of
them ran back from five hundred to seven
hundred years. Two of these horses were
given to General Grant by the Sultan, and
are now In America. Considering the fact
that even the most aristocratic families Of
America would have to uss considerable in
dustry to account for their family history
for five hundred years. 1t is quite evident
that the horse has been an important animal
In some parts of the world for many years.
