A New Note.

A new note is heard among the Low
boomers. "Anti-Tammany" is now their
word. AS the election time gets nearer
they see that there must be an effort made
to satisfy the sentiment of opposition to
Tammany.
What. however, has the Citizens Union
to do with ~TammanyH 1t is a non partisan
concern, formed ostensibly not to beat ny.
thing, not even the Chicago platform, but
to uphold the principle of non.partisanship
In municipal affairs. To it the partisan.
ship of Tammany, or the partisanship Of
Republicanism, is n matter of no moment.
Having nominated Mr.. Low on this plat.
form Of sublime indifference to the over.
shadowing question in American politics,
the sly attempt of the Low people to excite
anti-Tammany sentiment in their favor
Is a sneaking evasion of their platform.
If the defeat of Tammany is the main
purpose, then the sooner Mr.. Low retires in
favor of the regular anti Tammany party,
the Republican party. the better. The Re-
publicans can no more hope to beat Tam.
many with Low than with a regular Tam.
many man.

English IL Indispensable.

There Is no doubt about it; a political
organization, big or little, to be successful
In any city Of the United States, with the
possible exception Of East Milwaukee in
Wisconsin and Union Hill in New Jersey,
must transact business in English.
Clause 8 Of section 8 of the bylaws of
the " Observation-Disclosures Reform
Bund fur die Stadt New York" declares
that the Board of Officers of the Union
shall be constituted MS follows: A Presi.
dent. three Vice-Presidents, two Recording
and two Corresponding Secretaries, n Treas.
urer (Schatzmeister), and a Sergcant.at-
Arms Gerichtsdiener), to be elected by a
majority of the delegates present or pre-
sented. A week ago the Chairman OF tho
Republican County Committee, Congress-
man QUIGa, in compliance with the author.
iZation OF the representatives of the Re-
publican party In this county, sent a com.
munication to each Of the outside oreani.
cations opposed to Tammany Hall request
Ing them to participate in a preliminary
conference against that Organized con-
Germ. One such address. or invitation,
was sent fttingly to the Plattdeutsch-
A~merikanischer Stadt Bund. The Presi.
dent of this Union was, at the moment Of
it's receipt, on one of the islands of the
Azores. The First Vice-President. Herr
OTTENDoRFER, was In Carlsbad, bohemia
The Second Vice-President was on a picnic
to the Yellowstone Park. and the Third
Vice-Presiden was In Mojave City, Arizona.
Obviously. none of these officials could send
aprompt acknowledgment and acceptance
of the courteous Invitation OF Mr.. OU1Go.
Moreover, Of the two Corresponding Secre.
taries, one Is now in Samoa and the other
has been suspended from the Union for the
alleged dilatory payment of a disputed fine
for refusing to drink a glass of beer, when
invited 80 to do by another member of the
Union at the Bayarian festival. OF the
two Recording Secretaries, one has aban-
doned the cause of Municipal Reform in
New York to accept employment in the
official service Of the German Imperial
Government In Africa; the other is In Fin
land, where he has gone to claim an inner
ttance. The Treasurer of the German

stantiated rumor. 10 in Hamburg.
These circumstance so lnauspiclous for
the beginning of q conference with either
OF the political parties in New York, threw
the duty of acknowledging Mr.. QUIGG's in
vitation on the Sergeant,at-Arms (Gerichts-
diener) EDWARD j. II. DAMsEN. DAMsEN
received the Quigg letter written, or moro
properly typewritten, In English. With
this language, however, DAMsEN Is totally

papers submitted TO him Tor attestation and
record az q notary public In Avenue A, four

familiar with mystical and mythical Ger

sent with his letter q translation n what
Is known as regelrechter Plattdeutsch. In.
asmuch, therefore, as DAMsBN was una
Die to understand the language Of the com.
munication, he was excusnble In not recog-
mixing 1t as a polite invitation to the Platt-
Observation-Disclosures Bund to be repro
sented at the Manhattan Hotel conference
last Monday evening.
DAMsEN took the invitation paper and
afhxed to 1t in regular form his notarial
seal. On the lower left-hand corner q largo
red wafer was firmly affixed, and In en-
bossed letters he stamped on 1t this: "E.
D. ii. DAMsEN, Notar. Open nights. Platt-
deutsch gesprochen." The invitation 30
exempliied, attested, and acknowledged,
has been filed with County Clerk PURRoT,
and as a consequence the German Ameri.
can Reform Union was, and continues to
be, unrepresented in the conferences against
Tammany Hall, though the Union has, or
claims to have, an enrolment Of 111,112
voters and has the best of reasons for desir-
ing to participate actively in this years

electors of the city Of New York were walt

course Herr DAMsEN and his associates In.
tend to take in the fight, the invitation of
Congressman QUIGa is permitted to repose
In the office of the County Clerk unan-
swered, and the Union Is unrepresented !
The whole of the terrible trouble is due to
DAMsEN's unfortunate unfamiliarity with
English and with German. and the great
consequent embarrassment to the cause of
Municipal Reform shows the impractical
bility of endeavoring to run agreat political
association in New York and transact Its
business with English-speaking politicians
with no other language than a foreign
peasant idiom.
BE the English language copious or In.
adequate, be the crispness and brevity Of
English words a barrier to eloquence, as
the Germans assert, and to the clearness
and precision Of statement which have
made Plattdeutsch the language of one
fifth Of all Scandinavia, the fact remains
that English is the official language of this
town. knowledge of 1t Is indispensable
