Germans in America

Washington Post: The New York
Sun, which Is all right in most things
outside Of the Sampson-Schley contro-
|versy, makes this reference to yellow
journalism in Germany:
1.-THE subjoined extract from q editor
ial article in the Alldeutscher Batter,
newspaper printed in Berlin, Is cx-
hibited here on account of It's Journal
istic rather than Its political or interna-
tional significance:
III the Yankees, with their coarse
Dragging. threaten to lick us, 1t Is only
because they know their own skins are
safe in any case. With their dollars
they would find enough German asses
and renegades to fight their own Faith
erIand."
This Is the concluding paragraph Of
an article deploring the fact that so
many Americans of German birth
fought under the Stars and Stripes Of
their adopted country. on land and sea,
In the recent war with Spain.
"The newspaper in question, which
processes to recognize as renegades all
Germans who have become American
citizens. and as asses all such American
citizens who are ready to fight for their
country and their flag, Is the organ Of
the German Colonial party. and of the
organized propaganda Of German COM
merical expansion.
Not an emotion, unless 1t be of
amusement, will be started In the heart
or nerves Of any American citizen.
whether native or OF German birth or
descent, by utterances OF this sort In
the Alldeutschcr Batter OF Berlin. For
mcrly 1t might have been different, but
we all know now, too we'll. what yellow
journalism Is, at home or abroad"
Our esteemed contemporary Is quite
right. This kind of thing Is merely
amusing, and nobody-last Of all our
adopted citizens of German birth-take
1t seriously. Some day, the German
government will reap the harvest OF its
folly In permltting-nay, encouraging
every little wh!ppersnapper--ml
or otherwise-to Insult and tyrannize
over the civilian. Thousands of that
class have been driven away from their
Fatherland and come to this country
In search of liberty and self-respect.
They retain u sentiment for the coun-
try OF their birth, but they have n
stronger and q deeper attachment for
the country In which they have found
freedom, equal rights, manhood and OPP
portunity. They fought for the Union
In 1876. They fought last year against
Spain. And. II ever the United States
and Germany come together they will
fight for the home OF their adoption.
We want no better citizens than those
of German birth, who have become
part OF our population.

Farmer slater's Unique Dog.
