From the German Of Helm.

The Germans here are rabid at the
petition Of the Brooklyn women To
prevent the erection Of a statue If
Heine in Prospect Park. But the
Germans are prone To take every
thing too SeriOusly-even Heine.
Heine himself would scarcely have
taken this affair seriously. He might.
indeed. have written a satirical
couplet or two and made the Brook-
lyn danes immortal by way Of a
generous revenge. 1t does not matter
at all whether Brooklyn has statue
IL Heine or not. People who read
Heine need no reminder Of him. and
people who do not read him would
never lie any the wiser for one. The
Brooklyn ladies say that Prospect
Park reflects the smile If God" and
that Heine was a deprayed man and
a pet and his image would seriously
interfere with the lofty suggestions
IT their park. That is all right. let
the Brooklyn people have what they
want. They want new fountain
and they want upon ii the statue Of
some litterateur whose influence
would not he harmful to youth. Very
well, this is a free Let them
have a John Gilbert Holland foun-
tain. or an e. p. Roe fountain. or a
Ruth Ashmore fountain: who cares?
