GERMAN MILWAUKEE.

The theater, art and science have found a home in the German city of America One German and three English theaters offer to the public an abundance of varied pleasures, and all eminent in intellect and art are accustomed to stop in Milwaukee on their American travels. A public li- brary, as we'll as picture gallery and a museum, offer gratuitous instruction to every one. In the fall there is an annual industrial and agricultural exhibition, which with each year receives a greater abundance of contributions. Dozens of German glee clubs and athletic associa- tionS serve for social intercourse. As might be expected, the English language is used in the conduct of business, al though at least from 50 to 60 if not a greater, per cent, of the people have com mand of the German language, which is taught in the public schools.
 In almost every business, in nearly all the commercial houses, which are for the most part conducted by Germans, the German language is used along with the English, and. so ignorance of German is regarded as great a fault as ignorance of English if not a greater one. Recently an attempt was made to remove the German language from the curriculum of the pub lie schools. but the inquiry instituted for this purpose produced result very vexa- tious to the investigators. The over whelming majority of the non-German parents decided in favor of having their children taught the German language. Thus Milwaukee, in this case also, has made good her. reputation as the Ger man city of America.-From the Chau- tauOuaQ.

THE WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.

n a rule comparatively little important legisla- ton is undertaken at the short session of Con- gress That which is to be held this winter, however, may prove exception to the rule. Ger tainly there great issues to be dealt with The fact that the Senate IS not fully under the control ot sound money may prevent any attempt to enact
 currency reform bill, but with that exception there is hardly any important of needed leglsla ton that might not be accomplished this winter.
 Some of these measures like that providing for the construction of the Nicaragua canal, have been long before the public. Others like the proposed legsla ton for the promotion of American shipping have been given increased importance by reason of the rapid expansion of our commerce, which Is now car sred in foreign ships. Still others, like the demand for the establishment of parcels post, All of them however, supported by a strong popular sentiment and it is reasonable expect that least of them will be provided for by the legislation of the session.
 The action of Congress will undoubtedly be largely guided by the message of the President. It is re- ported he will recommend an increase of the army and the navy, the construction of the Nicaragua canal careful consideration of tn, policy to be adopted with regard to the government of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, but will not recom- mend any financial reform at this time.
 While these reports are or less authentic they WI" Ho' III any way uettaet Hohi pupIe cdeeiHeSS lo read the message itself. Mr. Mckinley is conser- vatve statesman we'll fitted direct the affairs of the nation at this critical juncture It is still freshly re- membered how he saved the country from committing the blunder of recognizing the so-called Cuban re- public, and the people have, therefore ample conf dence that his abilities and his patriotism will enable him to settle up all the issues and responsibilities growing out of the with Spain without commit ting the United States to any policy adverse to its highest interests. af t~A
 Certainly Congress assemblies for its short session at very critical period of history It is likely to be marked by debates the highest themes that engage the attention of statesmen, for such will be those involved in devising government for Hawaii and for the islands freed by from Spanish tyranny. We shall see what our Senators and Representatives do with the great oppor- tunity before them.
