1t is a perfectly safe proposition that.
had the Union League Club observed the
prophecies in the case of the Coghlan din
ner, none Of the mischievous gossip now
afioat would ever have been heard. Captain
Coghlan spoke, as he supposed. In the
privacy of a purely social gathering and
under the protection of the observances
of club life. He was surrounded by his
friends, urged and encouraged by them to
talk about his experiences. and, in his In
dividual capacity. he spoke-spoke as num-
dreds OF army and navy officers might
have spoken under similar circumstances
His veracity has not been and will not be
challenged. nor will any well-informed
person doubt that his sentiments are gem
orally entertained throughout the military
service of the United States. What Cogh-
Ian said at the Union League Club, in New
York, other officers have said and are stu
saying in clubs Of Washington, Baltimore.
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago. New Or
leans. etc. The difference is that the rules
OF decency were violated In the Union
Leagues case, and private and unofficial
utterances which should have been KEPT
sacred were given 10 the newspapers.

PATRIOTIC GERMANS.
Want to BE Loyal to Both h Father
land and Their Adopted

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, April 26.-The German
newspaper publishers of Missouri held a
meeting here to-day for the purpose OF de-
fining their position regarding the new pol
lev of Imperialism and militarism." DR..
Emil Pretorius. editor of the Westliche
Post. and the nestor of the German press
of America. presided, and after a lengthy
discussion the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
.'First-Systematic and uninterrupted eff
forts have been made during the past WE'VE
months to destroy, by
and unfounded sensations, the good leeilng
and the old historical friendship between
the United States and Germany. These
malicious intentions have created among
the German-American population the great I,
our duty as loyal citizens TO denounc9 these
continued falsehoods and misrepresenta
tons, which endanger the Old trlenoshlp OF
"SecondIThe friendship between the
United States and Germany is as old as the
history of the great American hepuoide and
ment of Frederick the Great was the frst
European power which the
young Republic of the United states; Ger
many was the first to acknowledge the SUI
premacy of the United States in the Philip
pines. This fact alone proves plainly that
Germany has no unfriendly intentions and
no desire to oppose us in the Orient.
''Third-In the glorious history of the
United States, from the time of George
Washington to the days of civil war, the
German-American population has shown
strong and patriotic loyalty to the Union.
In the darkest days of the Republic the
German-AmeTicans stood firm and true by
the Union, as they will do in future. We
German-AmericanS and the Germans in the
old country have been cruelty ,misrepre-
scented. We proved our loyalty during the
past war and will continue TO prove II what
ever the future may bring. But We protest
most emphatically against all falsehoods
and i%ntrigues which are intended to inter-
rupt i'm the interest of England the friend
ship between the United States and Ger
many.
"Fourth-True to the Constitution and
traditions of the Republic, we take a firm
stand against militarism and imperialism,
knowing that the German-American citizens
stand almost against this new
course, which would endanger the welfare
and the future of the Republic"
