MISUNDERSTANDING THE GER
MANS.
We regret that the Bulletin continues
in manner which it knows to be un-
true and unfair, to make party capital
out of the movement of our German
American citizens to aid in establishing
more friendly relations between this
country and Germany. The Germans
have been trying to get together in a
partisan way to express their dis
approval of any acts calculated to stir
up i'll feeling between the two countries.
10 make this movement of Importance
it is necessary that it should be under
taken in non partisan way. The Bull
letin is therefore tending to defeat the
very purpose of the movement by lis
misrepresentation
Germany is an 'expansionist" coun-
try. 1t has large possessions in Africa,
in China and in the islands of the sea.
The Germans are intensely loyal to
: America and we believe vast majority
are IN favor of the course adopted by
the administration. The Denison
"Demokrat'' treading as usual in the
footprints of the Bulletin, asserts that
the REVIEW is hostile to this move
) ment of the German s'for
/ fear it might hurt the administration"
This is also untrue, the editor is hearth
ly in favor of the movement and has
received and accepted an invitation to
attend the proposed meeting at Carroll.
The German have risen to
resent the tendency of many men and
many journals to instil hatred for Ger
many into the minds of the people, they
are opposed to any alliance with Eng
land or with any other foreign country.
In these propositions we are heartily
with them and it is a shame to try to
narrow their patriotic efforts to par
tisan basis. The REVIEW might en-
deavor to make party capital out of the
fact that Mr.. Henry Drummer of Car
roll who has been most active in organ
izing the movement in this section, is
one OF the most prominent republicans
of Carroll county and an ardent expan-
sionist, but it does not wish to do SO,
} it simply insists that the Germans be
J accorded fair treatment, that unspoken
words be not put into their mouths and
that their movement be not spoiled by
the injection of partisanship by men
and papers who have no part nor parcel
with them.
THE PASSING OF FREE SILVER.
For long time republicans have
prophecied that free silver would not
be an issue of the next presidential
campaign. They claimed that the is
sue was killed so effectually in 1896
that it would never arise again at least
in it's old form. The Bulletin control
