ANGLO-SAXONS ON BOARD SHIP.
The Americn commissioners to Paris
fell in with a titled Englishman when
crossing the Atlantic. and OF course the
old story of Anglo-SaXon friendship and
proves came up. Senator Frye, OF
Maine, presided at Il concert given On tia
Campana for the bsneft of the seamen
and made a speech in which he reminded
his audience that 800 years ago Spain sci
out to crush England with great az
NADIA, but, he added England then won
d victory which gave her prestige for all
time.
Continuing. the senator eloquentiy adj
verted to the brilliant victory of AL
miral Dewey at Manila. The fame which
that victory won for American sailors,
the senator said. has gone all over the
world. ahd has lifted the name Of the
Omitted States higher than ever before.
Concluding his remarks, Senator Frye
said: May God bless American and
British tars. May the angel of peace
touch your hearts tonight" Then the
passengers sang "My Country. Tis of
Thee" and God Save the Queen"
The Englishman. Sir William Marriott,
then proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Frye for his Anglo-Saxon utterances, adj
thof lrt I),,1
should now lie amended so that some
word representing Great Britain and the
United States may be substituted for
Britannia. The sentiment was roundly
cheered, and Senator Cushman X. Davis,
of Minnesota. was called for and re-
sponded with alacity.
He began by saying that the United
States and "the mother country" had
wranglcd in the past, but they were
family quarrelS only, which it we'll be-
hooved all others to let strictly alone.
He added imrressivly that. by divine
dispensation, the last three months Lad
brought about a, better feeling between
Great Britain and the United States than
ever before.
and why not?"i asked the senator.
I'VE speak the same tongue. we think
much the same, we read the same looks,
The meaning OF this is that 1875 millions
Of people speaking the English tongue,
and standing together in thought and
purpose, will tl5 more for peace than any
war ever wagch."
The senior senator from Minnesota
was rapturousiy applauded by all the
Anglo-maniacs on board. The report Ct
his speech on the Atlantic was sent by
special cable to the New York Journal.
and is presumably correct. He said sub
stantially the same thing in his address
on the occasion OF the laying Of the
corner stone of the state capitol in St.
Paul, and his utterances won the hearty
approval of the entire British press.
The commonwealth which Mr. Davis
represents in the United States senate
contains but few Anglo~Saxons. The
overwhelming majority of its people have
sprung from other races and are opposed
to the pretensons Of Angio-Sa super
iority. This fall they should resent the
sentiments expressed by MIR. Davis by
keeping him at home for the rest of his
life. The oA'E way for them to shut his
"mouthings' on Arglo-Saxon glorfica-
ton is to vote the fusion ticket headed
by John Lind, and send Democrats, Sill
YER Republicans and Populists to the
Minnesota legislature. Tho Republican
candidate for governor entertains the
same views that Davis has given express
sion 10 and John I.inl's views are diam
critically opposite. The Irish American
citizens of Minnesota, who are opposed
to- Anglo American treaties and al
liances will know who to vote for on
election day. If they heartily support
the Democratic ticket they will elect
John Lind and the entire ticket and thus
send better American shan Cush Davis
to Washington to represent thei, rrin-
cipes.
