WHERE TO FIND AMERICANS.
The Pith of the Republic I'm the COun-
try, Not In the Cities.
Octave Thanet.

Great cities among US are typical Of the
Republic as a whole, but the citizens of
our great cities have their nationality
brushed off at their elbows. In the
country there are still purely American
communities, whose fathers and grandfath-
ers were American before them. Moreover,
in the country the foreigner becomes more
quickly Americanized. In New York he
hardly pays us the compliment of learning
our language.
And 1t is not strange that the few for
eigners who have either the wit or the
good fortune to penetrate into what they
call the provinces are our kindest judges;
for they have seen the American at his
best. They have touched both the pictur-
esque and the gentle side Of our national
character. IL is not in the great cities but
sees the class that Emerson loved. the
plain livers and high thinkers, or another
class, not plain I'm its living not so high
In its thinking in one way; but practical
followers OF righteousness and exceedingly
pleasant people to meet. Many of them
have what counted for wealth in a simpler
generation: all OF them have education and
q generous habit of mind. They love their
country but they are a little shy Of poll
tics nevertheless they furnish the pith of
the Republic. They are the silent Warwicks
that make and unmake party kings asking
and expecting no reward, and only half con-
scious of their own power. Most OF the
women treasure UP, somewhere, an old
sword or pair of tarnisheo shoulder straps
belonging, IL may be. to gray, ii may be
to blue uniform, but worn by equally hon.

sturdy virtues taught them by their fathers
and God be thanked, they will transmit
