sEA1TLE GERMANS BOTCOTTED.
The Reform City Administratien Has No
Uso for Them.

Referring to the recent tnsolent remark
made by o Portland councilman CHASING
the citizens of Scandinavian origin with
negroes and Chinese, the German Seattle
Demokrat has the following to say regard
ing the manner in which our famous re-
form administration" has seen fit to treat
the German element since the unfortunate
Krug Occurrences:
'srhis incident concerns not only citizens
Of Scandinavian birth, but those of Ger
man origin As well. Not infreQuently
ignorant, narrow-minded politicians and
public officials express themselves depre-
catingly when referring to the Germans,
principally after elections, when they
have no more fear Of their resentment.
Especially has this been the case in Seat
tie, where with 'ghoulish glee' the irregu-
laritiss discovered in the city treasury
have been made use Of by the administra-
ton ct every opportunity to ieer at the
Dutch and TO leave them wholly uncon-
sidsred in cases Of new appointments It
has come to such . pass that notwith-
standing the Importance Of the German
element in this city. quantitatively as well
~ qualitatively speaking. not . single
German holds an appointment with the
exception. possibly, Of An unimportant po-
sition in the treasury under this admins
tration. (This holds good. also, in refer
snce to Federal appointments. where tho
German have been utterly ignorsd). Even
il 10 enough to condemn the appli-
cant If he 10 of German origin.
This must and shall not BE-. Considers

and personal interests, make 1t our per.
emptory duty to bring about . change Of
this state of affairs. And this change can
be brought about when the Germans stand
together, and by their actions show that
they comprise IN element Of our COM
sighted with impunity. A noble example
10 before us for Imitation, - given only
recsntly by the German Americans Of New
York, where with . combined and unani-
nous effort under the leadership Of Oswold
Ottendorfer and Carl SchurE they helped
demoiish the corrupt and infamous state
and city rings of machine politicians.
This shows what can b achieved BY
unanimity Of action, and should be an OBJ
ject lesson for the Germans of this city to
Initiate, and thereby benefit. At neither
the Democratic nor the Republican strings
shall We pull, but with closed ranks as
one great solid phaisnx approach our
deprecators, and unanimously stand for
an honest administration OF public affairs,
and energetically defend all unwarranted
attacks against our rights. German Ameri-
cans desire no privileges nor rights further
than those accorded every American eiti-
zen, but those they must and shall have,
and above all they resent being sighted
because Of their nationality. II il high
time that this position shall be made clear
in unmistakable terms TO politicians and
political parties, and to this end the Seattle
Den,okrat will heartily indorse and support
any action which may be brought to pro-
ducs the desired understanding"
