YESTERDAY was the two hundredth
ninth anniversary of the landing OF
the first German immigrants in this
country. and the local German 40
cieties did not neglect the opportunity
to honor their mother country and
renew their allegiance to the
county which they have adopted.
Mr.. ROsenthsl's address at LAST nights
celebration was an intensely patriotic
one, and in exhorting his hearers TO be
true Americans he unconsciously paid
high tribute to the patriotism and
devotion of the German race.

Democracy Is going to the demnition
bowwows for want of Doodle. The
millionaires from Brice to Flower are
hanging on to their purse strings with
unfeeling desperation. None of the
bloated barons of the free trade coal
and sugar combines will contribute a
nickel. There isn't any piunder In the
treasury, but the democratic head
quarters is bursting full of woe and
grief. From out the cherries pre-
cincts of the assessment room the hol-
low voices of the rainbow chasers min
gle in funereal lamentations, bewailing
the paucity of cash. These lamentations
have been gathered together and this
morning the tale Of woe is poured into
the gaping ears of the people by way
of an Official circular issued by Don
and Hsrrity. After telling the people
that democracy il q chronic invalid
they pathetically appeal to the gener-
Gus 70 contribute tn q fund for the
benefit of the invalid. 1t is not dol
lar collection, but penny will be re-
received with thanks. IL is enough to
make Chinese idol weep tears of
blood TO contemplate the pltiable
plight of these lurid rainbow chasers.
