The Star repeats the question II pro-
pounded last week: Why should there be
any such thing as hyphenated citizenship
In the United States? Why should not the

United States. yielding obedience to its
laws and lovn its Institutions and the
flag. designate Iim As an American? What

The subject is not new, of course 1t has
long engaged attention. But ii grows in
interest and Importance as the country
grows. and IL takes on an added interest
just now as the result of certain circum-
stances connected with the war with Spain.

a National Funeral.

The executive order issued by President
MCKINLEY yesterday To provide for the cere-
monies at Arlington Thursday over the
bodies of the dead soldiers brought from
Cuba and Porto Rico will touch the hearts
of all classes OF citizens by its deep rever-
ence for the men who responded to the call
to arms and who fought and suffered as be-
came American soldiers. The interment of
these bodies under the Arlington trees
makes an occasion of national Importance
for it creates what will probably be the
only large cemetery devoted to the dead of
the war with Spain. Thus it establishes a
nucleus for national sentiment over the
sufferings of the army in Cuba and it was
eminently fitting that the President should
take occasion TO express himself in words
OF tender appreciation and reverence for
the dead. AS ordered, every honor will be
paid to these brave men who died far from
home Every ship of war, wherever may
be the station, will note the occasion The
government will signalize its sense of duty
to the dead by suspending it's business and
lowering the flag. Throughout the land the
day Will be one of personal mourning, for
the three hundred and fifty men who are to
be buried with military honors at Arlington
represented in the ranks nearly all parts of
the country. Washington shares in the

monial is certain produce, for although
none of its brave young men who died dur
ing the war as u result of their military
service is in this list of heroes who are to
find resting place at Arlington. the occa-
sion will revive memories of the losses
which this community sustained. One of
the sdddest features of the occasion is the
fact that a very large number of these
bodies are unidentified. Brave men went
to their death unknown. Heroes lost their
personality in the charges and the marches
and even in the sickness Of the camp. But
whether d name is inscribed on the head
stone erected over the grave or not the
life which went out will be as highly priced
by the nation as though the fame of the

pound the laws. TO execute the laws. and
they are law-abiding. They are leaders in
business and in the professions. They
speak the language of the country-some
of them with extraordinary f1uency and
purity. They have all the stake in the
country that any man can have, and very
much more than they could possibly estab
lish in any other country in the world.
They have fought for the country, and
would fight again, against any power.
Why therefore. should there be the slight
est distinction between these men. as citi-
zens. and men of native birth and the
descendants of those whom We call the
fathers?
AS an example of how radically America
transforms ii man in spirit, let US con-
slider the case of the Jew, using the word
of course in its proper sense. The properly
conditioned Jew is justly proud of his race.
But he has been described for centuries,
and by historians of his blood among
others. a man without capacity to build
state and without patriotism. This re-
proach has been hurled at him at the pres
ent time. But how could a Jew be expected
to feel patriotism in Russia, where he has
been so misused? Or in France or Austria,
where he has been the object of so much
persecution? In England and America,
record is altogether different In the United
States we know him as an excellent citizen,
a leader in business and in all good works
and a generous giver to charity. We know
him as a legislator, as an executive, and as
an all-round man of affairs. We know him
likewise as good soldier. No better fight
er has ever taken the field for the United
States. SO that if, centuries ago, the Jew
lacked statecraft and patriotism and has
appeared to lack them at this time in Eu-
rope, he has developed both qualities
strongly under the fostering care of free
Institutions. His patriotism is at no dis
count in the United States
The term Anglo-Saxon is much objected
to In discussions of this kind by those who

are definitely and Gevotedly cast with those
of the United States, not in the direction of
making war ON any power, or of exercising
any tyranny anywhere, but for the purpose
OF carrying forward civilization by means

developments of the highest institutions of
civil and religious liberty. In that sense

Washington Stars Proxress.

The Washington Star, which is one of
the standard institutions of that CITY. is
ABOUT 10 erect new building of costly
ana elanorate character for its permanent
nome. The Star is recognized as one of the
pest newspapers of the country, and may
be spoken of as representative afternoon
newspaper. In Its columns Is to be found
the latest news OF the day, presented in
attractive form; bright reading on all cur
rent and interesting topics. The Star is
clean as well as enterprising, and one Of
the chief features of its success is its hold
as family newspaper. 1t has secured a
strong place IN the hearts and homes of
the people Of Washington, which it is likely
to retain. The new home OF the paper will
be an imposing structure, beautiful arcbi-
tecturally and furnished with every modern
equipment required by an enterprising
journal of the day.

From the Philadelphia Times

As there is nothing deleterious in hon.
estly manufactured oleomargarine, there is
no reason why its manufacture and sale
should be prohibited or in any way re-
strained by law, but it is just to the farm
ers and butter producers of the state that
oleomargarine should be put Oh the market
as oleomargarine and nothing else and
every man who attempts to sell oleomar-
garine for butter should be promptly prose-
cuted and such penalty inflicted as would
insure the breaking UP of the fraudulent
