streets that the parade, which did not start

minutes after midnight. 1t is estimated
that 100000 strangers were in the city and
more than 100000 persons witnessed the
parade
And in connection with this, read the
story from Pfttsburg of the homecoming
Of the Pennsylvanians yesterday. and of
how affectionatey and enthusiastically
they were received.
II the question is in order, what does all
of this really mean? Is it in the nature of
congratrlation offered to these men that
they are no longer employed in dshonor-
able and an inhuman cause? Are their
friends merely glorying in their release
from the services of a country which has
laid aside its best purposes and traditions,
end is going in now for brutal conquest
and oppression?
1t is this, or something very different
from this. Can 1t be that these men are
being honored for the patriotism. the pluck
and the militant manhood they have
shown? Can it be that their families, their
friends and their neighbors are proud of
the valor they have exhibited in carrying
the flag in the Philippines against those
who disputed its authority and supremacy?
Can 1t be that their whole course stands
warmly Endorsed. from the hour of their
enlistment. when they pledged their ser
vices simply for the war with Spain, to
this hour. a twelvemonth after Spain
ceased to be a factor in the field? In
word, these enormous gatherings and

these questions? How would they have
greeted these men upon their return? And
what chance have they of making an i'm

parent to everybody but to themselves,
this spirit of rejoicing at the sight of Amer

of the government for at time since
the ratification of the treaty has there been
any possibility that the administration
would turn back and relinquish the task
of raising the flag over the islands. Not
even the illogical protests Of the anti-ex-
ransionists, sweled for a time into shrill
chorus which might in some quarters pass
muster for the voice Of the people, served
to cast any doubts upon the prospect of
persistent campaigning. At time has
there been possibility Of withdrawal.
Yet it is well that the President has ex-
pressed the matter clearly and explicit
ly. and has drawn with such an illustrative
stroke the picture of the insurrection in
it's treacherous beginnings and it's cruel
courses 1t serves notice that the clatter
of the critics will not swerve him from
his high purpose. but that the campaign
will be pressed whatever may be the
amount of money and the number of men
This is the spirit the American people I'M
derstand and admire. 1t has marked every
great crisis in the republics history. 1t
appeals to every sentiment in the nation
which has ever developed wholesome fruits
for the good of all the people.
The President did not forbear to note the
existence of reasonable opposition. He
said:
The misguided followers in rebellion
have only our charity and pity. AS to the
cruel leaders who have needessly sacri-
feed the lives of thousands of their peo-
pie, at the cost of some of our best blood
for the qualification of their own ambitious
designs, l will leave to others the ungra-
cious task of justification and eulogy.'
Here, then, is the alternative-to praise
the men who have obeyed the orders given
to them in the name of humanity and prog
ress and enlightenment in an effort to es-
tablish American sovereignty in benighted
land; or to praise the men who, for ques-
tionable motives. have stood in the path of
this performance and have useless.y caused
b!oodshed and suffering. The President
prefers to choose the former course He
leaves to "others the ungracious task of
hampering the nations benefcent program
and bringing sorrow to thousands. Vol
umes could not have better expressed the
situation as 1t is clearly understood by the
people.

The celebration last evening by our fell
ioW-cltizens of German birth or descent
OF the anniversary of Goethe's birthday
affords appropriate text for a word on that
much-discussed subject of the Germans in
America.
The German who emigrates to America
does so to improve his material condition.
He has heard of the opportunities herein
a word. has heard that the republic is op-
portunity'-and he casts his fortunes with
us. He does not change his name He does
not forget his ancestors or their history.
He holds to his love for his native tongue
though every consideration of wisdom and
necessity counsels him to acquire and to
use the language of his adopted country
and to have his children made perfect in
it. He does not lose his generation or af-
lection for the German heroes either of
peace or war, or his love for German song
and story. He retains the best of all that
inspired him in the old home and cele-
brates it in the new. He simply changes
his citizenship. takes upon himself the OBJ
legations of individual sovereignty and
adjusts himself with all of his memories to
the new environment and its obligations.
And how easily this is done in America!
He finds already here an appreciation al
most as ardent as his own of German he
roes and their accomplishments. Goethe in
particular. has always been highly honored
in America. Here, as wherever else intel
lectual kinsship Is confessed, he has his
assured place. The author of Faust" and
Wilhelm Meister' has a constituency as
loyal and as apprec!ative as that of the
master Of any foreign tongue forced to
speak to US through the medium of trans
lation. With the exception of Shelley, who
occupied himself only with a few scenes,
no writer of the English language has ad-
dressed himself SO felicitously to Faust"
as Bayard Taylor, the American.
The German in America, therefore, is in
no strange or unwelcome atmosphere On
good report he may have brought with
him. He finds soil singularly well adapt
ed to the propagation of the highest ideals
he is capable of cherishing. He abandons
nothing which it is to his interest and
credit to retain. He takes on much that
he could never have enjoyed in the old
home, and which, when fully and properly
assimilated, contributes not only to his in
telectual but to his patriotic growth and
usefulness. And when thoroughly Ameri-
caniZed he becomes one of the most pros
porous of our citizens, one of the firmest
of the upholders of the national credit, as
evidenced by his long-continued support OF
sound money ever since cheap money, now
some thirty years ago, became issue in
our politics, and in times of storm and
stress one of the bravest of the defenders
Of the stars and stripes against all corners.
