day afternoon, who hoped that some ar.
.rangements could be made so thatlths

purposes and that a meeting could DO
held next week.
Mr.. Beal said that the directors had
agreed to subscribe for five more shares
of stock on the condition that an effort
be made TO sell stock enough to take up

THE REASON FOR 1T.
why Is the German m er lean Press
Against Expansion.

(From the 81. Paul Volkszeitungl
One Of the fundamental features of the
German character is quiet refscsion and
discretion, when considering and judg-
ing grave questions. which concern the
welfare OF their adopted fatherland and
its future, such is the answer given by
one of our exchanges to this question.
Another feature is conservatism, holding
fast to those political principles whicn
one has recognized as being indispensa-
BILE to the welfare of the country and the
nation. Further. another one is sincerity.
The German American does not allow
himself tobe carried away by catchwords
and sounding phrases which annihilate
ones reasoning pow /; it is incompre-
heusibls to him how his fellow citizen Of
the English tongue can excite himself to
frenzy, for instance, in religious revival
meetings and in political meetings can
allow himself to be totally carried away
in blind enthusiasm, by means OF telling
names and empty and high-sonnding
words. to the exclusion of every clear
headed consideration and Judgment.
The German-A merioan editors can there
fore not be led astray by the historical
efforts in Congress and the patriotic,
illusions in the English-speaking press,
or deceived as to the actual state of things
just as little as they could be influenced
thereby at the time Of the Spanish war
and as to the causes that brought ssabeut
the same, they can be deceived as to the
existing state Of affairs rs far as they
concern the purpose, Importance and
consequences of policy of expansion that
Is to carry us into tar Asia.

driven to war by tn e politicians of Con-

and they have seen the testimony of men

from which 1t became evident that the
war might have been avoided and that the
recognized chief purpose OF the ga me,
namely. the deliyerance of Cuba from the
Spanish rule could have been reached with
out resorting to arms. Therefore the
