AmERrCAN DENArloNALIsM.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly for
January claims that the country is going
into the possession Of foreigners. He
ends . preponderance Of persons OF for
eign birth or foreign parentage among
the leaders in municipal politics. 1t
might be worth while. as q preliminary
to . discussion Of this character. to aseer.
tain as nearly as possible what signid-
canoe attaches to foreign ~parentage. ls
an American child born Of foreign parents,
taught in our schools, reading from
childhood newspapers and magazines
which do not, as a rule, lack in patriotic
feeling, less thoroughly American than
one who counts three or four American
generations? There are some old Ameri-
can families which have been distin-
guished generation after generation for
devotion to their country, but the infu-
ence of this example is somewhat i'm.
paired by the number OF Americans who
prefer to reside abroad. Among these,
of course, are not included tourists or
sojourners for q definite period. The
fact that so many Americans prefer to
live permanently in Europe is at least
presumptive evidence that they find Eu-
ropean institutions moro to their liking
than their own. A good many Ameri-
can. writer's show more familiarity with
the geography, politics and literature OF
European countries than with the geog-
raphy, politics aud literature of the
United States. Being American born,
they feel that they have q kind of right
to be more severe in criticising what they
call their own than in criticising the
countries they visit. When writing
takes on the character Of fiction the hero
or heroine is generally an American who
looks forward with dread to the time
when circumstances will compel a return
to his or her native country. These wan
derers in fiction find SO much in the old
countries to make life pleasant that in
time readers form the idea that. while
the United States may be the best
country to make a living in. European
life offers more inducements to people
who have money TO spend. Whatever OF
denationalism is observable in the Amer
lean people may be attributed rather to
the indifference of American citizens OF
American birth and decent than to inner.
tied love of another country on the part
Of citizens of foreign ps~rentage.-S. F.

President Cleveland used to say, at
is q condition and not a theory that con-
fronts US" when he was imperiously de-
handing Congress to pass the Wilson
tariff bill. In his late special message
to that body recommending the passage
OF a measure that will be suitable to
Wall street he says, ut is a predica-
ment that confronts u.s." The logical
deduction Of the whole matter. there
fore. appears to be. that in tinkering
with the tariff and neglecting silver he
has the whole country in a dreadful con-
dition. and the result is. we are in a bad
predicament.

In the Lower House Of Congress on
the I'd instant, the famous Reilley bill,
extending the time Of the Pacific rail-
roads for the payment Of their debts to
the Government. came up for considera.
tion and was sent back to the commit
tee by a vote of IFS to LOG. The recon-
mitment Of the bill is equivalent to it's
defeat. When the fact that the measure
had been sent to it's doom was known in
the House, the opponents Of the bill sig
nalized their victory by shouts Of jubila-
tion. Congressman Newiands voted to
recommit the bill, which vote was in ac'
cordance with the Silver party platform.

Claus Spreokles was requested to give
his reasons for identifying himself with
the present railroad movement. He said;
IL was induced to identify myself
with the present railroad movement
for q railroad in the San joaquin
Valley fret, because l am con-
WINGED it is a splendid business invest
ment for capital, and, secondly, because
its construction will benefit every man,
woman and child in California, besides
yielding good returns on the capital laid
but.
"The new railroad will not only be .
powerful stimulant to our native indus
tries, but it will be instrumental in en-
HANGING our business interests in every
direction.
"California has been for years a third
rate State in the Union, and for no other
reason. in my opinion, than because Of
the lack Of railroad facilities. The San
Joaquin Valley will provide homes for
millions Of people, and yet when we try
to induce settlers to come to the finest
valley the sun ever shone upon they de-
cline, because, with only n railroad
traversing it, they are convinced that
their interests would suffer. We want
to build q railroad there so that we may
be enabled to assure settlers that every
facility will be afforded them to market
their products speedily and cheaply.
"The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany will not be the sufferer because Of
the construction Of q competing road
through the San Joaquin Valley, for with
the increase Of population in the State
it's business will be proportionately
greater. We have taken up the project
purely as matter of business and Is bust.
ness men we will carry it through. In
benefittiDg the stockholders, as I believe
it will, the new road will benefit the bust.
ness people of California more than any.
That glorious day cannot come too soon.
ut is in this spirit that the undertake
ing will be carried out. We are not do
ing it to injure any one, but in helping
ourselves and the people will actually en-.
hance the prosperity of those who will be
generally regarded as our rivals in BUSH

The House Of Representatives at the
Nations Capital was turned into q bear
garden on the LIST instant, the disgrace
full scene being caused by an alteration
between Breckenridge Of Kentucky and
Heard of Missouri. Such endearing
terms as 'lisr." ''cur." ~"scoundrel,"
etc., were exchanged between those two
high-roned Congressmen. The difficulty
arose over . parliamentary question, and
the matter was so trivial as in no way to
warrant the rumpus it created. Brock
enridge landed once on Heard's body.
when the latter let fly his right, which
was cleverly lodged by the old Kentuck-
ian. Finally. the Sargeant-at-Arms and
q number Of Congressman stopped the
fight, the combatants were brought be-
fore the Speaker. when they a~pologized
to the House and to each other, shook
hands, took their seats and the business
Of the House was resumed as usual.

Complaint Of the extravaganza Of the
California Legislature is general through
out that State. Members who pledged
themselves to exercise the most rigid
economy if elected are now doing all in
their power to create lucrative positions
for friends who aided them in their fight
for election. Before election they were
all for economy; since election they favor
extravaganza and have created about
forty new official positions. and the ssla-
ries Of legislative attaches amounts to
more than the salaries Of the members.

Late advices from New York say that
it is believed in financial circles that q
Government loan is certain to be issued.
This view is reflected in the activity Of

have in the last few days borrowed large
amounts on time, one firm taking SlO,-

SENATOR Teller hit the financial ma

Senator Teller hit the financial nail
squarely on the head in the Senate q few
days ago. says the Denver News. when
he said the American people were not yet
ready to create a permanent national
debt; that the way to obtain gold was to
buy il with the products Of the country,
and that this could not be done so long
as Q gold standard enforces three-cent
cotton and Accent wheat. This is the
whole thing t~ersely stated. Give the ma
tion once more bimetallism and bimetal-
lilo prices and gold will come to US, not
