THE HYPHEN IN POLITICS.

The Republican brethren are brayeIy
struggling to break the force of the re-
cent gathering of German-American edi-
tors, called to express their opinions on
the question of the succession to the
presidency. That gathering was clearly
hostile to the continued domination in
our national affairs of the political DUAL
ity known as Hannaism. Its conclu-
sicns have given the imperiaHst states
men and editors decidedly unhappy
quarter of an hour. and they are now
busy with sneers and sarcasm directed
to those who took part in il.
1t would be surprising If such an event
did not arouse the usual comment on the
use Of the hyphen, which all exceptional
ly earnest patriots feel called on to in
dulge themselves in from time to time
The imperialist shafts are not directed
toward the justice or injustice. the wis
dom or folly of the declaration of these
editors against militarism and imperial
ism, the trusts and the tariff. Not at
ALL 1t is against the unfortunate but
harmless expression. "German-Amerf

Puerto Rican tariff and involves a.
menace to the perpetuity of American
Institutions
The hyphen is a dangerous quantity.
In certain Of its uses and abuses it comes
as dangerous reminder that not all
citizens of the republic possess a family
descent which leads in direct line back
to the Mayfiower, and that there are
among the voters of the United States
quite few misguided persons who do
not conceive themselves called on to to-
tally forget the land which gave them
birth
Yet these editors had a well-defned
right to designate themselves German
American if it suited them to do So The
fact that they did so does not in the
slightest take away from the significance
which underlies their aYowed hostility to
the adoption of an American colo
NAL policy, to an American standing
army, to the rapid-fring gun as an agent
Of civilization or to the trusts as the
dominating power in and among the pro-
ductive and distributive forces of Ameri-
can industrial life. All these are evils
against which the German-American edI-
tors have set their faces.
Now, all this might in itself be toler-
ated. For, of course, no true Repubii-
can politician will admit for a moment

An OUTRAGE.

The worst curse that can befau any
community is the curse Of religious strife,
The meanest and most malevolent of HUI
man passions are brought to the surface
through it. Peace, charity, humanity
itself, go for naught, and through II
men become transformed into ravening
beasts. We have had experience OF II
right here in St Paul within very bldef
period. We succeeded in allaying it then
but not until it had succeeded In array
ing against each other as enemies men
who before were either Indifferent to
each other, went their several ways about
their business undisturbed and undis-
turbing. or, as in many cases had been
on terms of positive friendliness.
The man or woman who in this adj
vanced and enlightened period of human
progress will insult another in his or
her religious profession Is social fire
brand and Intellectually and morally de-
fective. The movement which is designed
to arouse religious antagonisms can reach
success only by becoming public
scourca. Law-abiding persons can look
on such movements and their originators
only as representing outlawry. Public
authority should treat them only as such'
ST. Paul has won we'll merited fame as
4 community in which men of all re-
ligious denominations and of no religious
belief whatever extend to each other the
most perfect friendliness and good will
and willingly promote among each other
all laudable undertakings in connection
with the advancement of the interests of
their religion. Within a few days we
witnessed the elevating spectacle Of the
distinguished Catholic archbishop OF st.
Paul whom We are all proud Of for his
goodness and greatness, being represent
ed at the memorial services over the re-
mains of the late Bishop Gilbert, and giv-
ing expression OH the occasion to senti-
ments calculated TO stir the pulse Of
every man of feeling whatever his re-
ligious belief might be- This truly repre-
scented the spirit of fraternal esteem
which prevails among all classes and di
visions, civil and religious, among our
people.
And, then. why should we have 70 toler-
ate any outbreak of scurillity. such as
public announcements indicate are BEING
inflicted on the members of one religious
denomination among our people?
In behalf of the great silent mass of
decent men and women whose well or
dered and industrious lives represent the
enduring fabric of American social life
it is right and needful to have it under
stood from time to time that they who
seek to sow the seeds Of religious bitter
ness among friends and neighbors are at
best but common malefactors, and de-
serve only to be treated as such by
private and public influences alike
