GERMAN-AMERICANS AND IMPER.
IALISM.

More than six months ago The
Record Published numerous inter
views with well-known and infuen-
tial German Americans which showed
that the feeling among citizens of
that class against what is known as
Imperialism was very strong. The
recent utterances of Mr.. Oswald OF.
tendorfer, of the New York Stats
Zeitung, are in perfect harmony
with the sentiment that was revealed
by The Records interviews. Ger
man antagonism to imperialism and
militairism is natural enough. Many
if not most of the Germans in Amer
lea left Germany because of dislike
of German military methods. In
deed, the Germans who emigrated
from the fatherland to America NAV
be said to be selection of that ele-
ment of German manhood to whom
the military methods of the imperial
government were most hateful. The
part the German Americans played
in our civil war proved, though, that
they were ready to fight bravely for
their country when its welfare was
threatened and great principles we're
involved, so that it is not war but
militarism which excites their appre-
hension.
This being the fact, it would not
be surprising if these Germans
should display uneasiness at any,
thing which appears to be taking
over by America of the conditions to
escape which they left their former
country. Possibly this feeling of
apprehension is so great that some
of the German-Americans may fancy
that the dangers are greater than
they really are. The fact is that
since The Records revelation of the
attitude of the German Americans
their position has been well under
stood. Apparently their disaffection
on the Imperialism issue is accepted
by the republican managers as one
OF the inevitable losses which that
party will have to accept, but which
may be Offset by gains in other di-
rections where the policy of the ad-
ministration will be popular. Chi
cago Record.

The American society in London Is an
organization of resident Americans which
gives dinner on Independence day at
the Criterion or Holborn restaurant. The
American minister sits at the head of the
table. Over his head is a defiant eagle
(stuffed), and all around him are draped
flags Of the Union intertwined with the
British flag. Red, white and blue flowers
decorate the table. An American flag of
violets, daisies and red geraniums, with
electric stars, is the center of the decora-
tive scheme. A miniature of Bartholdi's
great statue of Liberty looks down on
the scene. Amid these inspiring sur
roundings the members of the American
society renew their allegiance to the star
spangled banner. All the DISTINGUISHED
Americans in London are present to make
spread eagle speeches, and consuls of the
United States from various cities are
among the guests.

THE FOURTH IN THE SOUTH,
How the Day Was Celebrated In the
Old Dominion.

How the Day Was Celebrated In the
Old Dominion.
The southern colonies and, after the
ratification of the constitution, the south
ern states, were by no means behind
New England in their celebration of the
glorious Fourth. In the Old Dominion Of
Virginia 100 years ago the wealthy, pa
triotic planters, their friends, guests and
servants annually assembled in great
numbers In the good old town of Rich
mond to celebrate our nations birthday
with the best horse races of that period
and other open air diversions.
A letter written by my maternal grand
father, writes f. H. Wade In the Pitts
burg Dispatch, dated Richmond, July
8, 1880" now lies before me. 1t gives
4 most graphic account of the scenes en-
acted at the annual Fourth of July races
on the preceding day. From this much
priced heirloom / make the following ex-
tract:
1.-THE variegated costumes Of a mass Of
danes and gentlemen gave the wide bal
cony the appearance of a flower garden,
and the sparkling eyes, red cheeks and
smiling lips Of the young ladies made the
scene a most enchanting one. Little
beauties in diamonds and lace rode by In
ricn cnariots, accompanied Dy pOrtly OLD
fellows with enormous ruff1es. The horses
were the cream Of our Virginia racers.
After being led up and down through the
crowd they were stripped, saddled and
mounted. The drum tapped, and off they
shot like meteors. When the race was
won by horse bearing our new national
colors-red, white and blue-in honor Of
the occasion being Independence day,
l thought the people would have gone
wild with enthusiasm

SAD FOURTHS OF JULY.
Gloomy Days, when Sorrow Took
the Place of Rejoicing

the PLACE OF Rejoicing
The saddest Fourths of July in the his
tory Of the nation were those Of the years
of the civil war. The day was no longer
the day of rejoicing of united people,
and brother fought brother with a valor
never surpassed in the history of the
world. If, when the day came the
north rejoiced, it was day of sorrow for
the south. and If the north wept it was
J time of jubilation for the south Such
a day was the Fourth of July, 1863,
when, after three days of terrific fighting
and awful slaughter, the north and south
heard momentous news from Gettys-
burg's bloody field. Meade's dispatch to
President Lincoln caused the north to re-
joice, but the south was plunged in
gloom.
But the Independence days of the civil
war were not all days of rejoicing for
the north. In 1861 Big Bethel had just
been fought and had been won by the
south, and Ellsworth had been shot
while hauling down the Confederate flag
in Alexandria. On this day also the
Thirty sixth congress met in extra ses-
sion with eight states not represented.
The Fourth of July Of 1862 had also
been a gloomy one for the north, for Nc
Clellan suffered severely in the Seven
Ddyb Duttie anu udu Deeu IOTCeQ TO re-
tire and change his base Of operations.
Dark indeed was the Fourth of July of
1864, and with the exception of the sink
ing of the Alabama by the Kearsarge off
the coast of France two weeks before
hand the north had little cause for re-
joicing. For the south as well it was
not day of happiness. Grant was slow
ly forcing Lee back, 1t Is true, but he
was doing so with frightful slaughter in
his own ranks. His loss after crossing
the Rapidan. two months previously, had
been $4,000 men, and it was impossible
to forecast just how events would turn
out. The following year the dark clouds
of war had rolled away, and had it not
been for the tragic death of the president
the Fourth of 1865 would have been one
Of the happiest holidays in the history Of
the nation. The only notable event on
this day was the reading of the proclama-
ton of amnesty to those southerners who
had taken part In the late war.

A NEW VERSION.

This is the way one Of the rabid =,
plutocratlc fire. eaters of the gold
bug camp bowls about the declara-
ton of independence and hurls in
suit at national honor. 1t is a rare
specimen to haunt in the faces of the
patriot people fthis country who be-
lieve that the declaration was the
greatest and most sublime pronuncia-
mento ever given to the world-that
it stands for equal rights to ALL MEN,
and this bit of imperialism from the
political junk shop in the capital city
will lose its force on the desert air of
political indiscretion:
1.-The Declaration of Independence was
issued by and for the people OF the Am
erican colonies, and It's actual application
was restricted to one race in the colonies.
So far from meaning that all people were
entitled to the kind OF freedom to which
the colonists aspired, the famous declara-
ton did not utter q word against the
chattel slavery that was visited on African
people in this country. The trainers of
the declaration did not intend to demand
political independence for the negroes in
this country-they did not intend to de-
mand personal freedom for them"
We take it that this organ of i'm
periatistic tendencies and mouth.
piece of few Of the disclaimers of
the immortal Declaration holds that
the famous document was not in
tended to include the Negro and
Filipino, and this attitude on the
part of the plutocratic sheet is re-
markable departure from the true
American sentiment, and would seem
to cast discredit upon the living words
of Abraham Lincoln when he said in
a debate with Douglas:
81 think that the authors of that nota-
BILE instrument intended to include ALL
MEN, but they did not mean TO declare all
men equal in all respects"
And Lincoln further said in that
memorable debate:
AT Galesburg the other day | said in
answer to Judge Douglas that three years
ago there never had been man, so far
as knew or believed in the whole world,
who had said that the Declaration of In
dependence did not include negroes in the
term "all men," Ireassert it today. |
assert that Judge Douglas and all his
friends may search the whole record Of
the country, and it will be matter of
great establishment to me II they shall be
able to find that one human being three
years ago had ever uttered the astound-
ing sentiment that the term 'all men" in
the Declaration did not include the negro"
If the organ holds the opinion that
the Declaration was not meant to cover
the colored man, that that was not
the intention of the drafters of that
document, then it doubts the wisdom
of the great emancipation when he
freed the men who wore the CALLING
slave chains and suffered the lash.
Has it come to this?

The Fourth Long Ago.

West Point can boast of two OF the
most famous of the early Fourth Of July
celebrations. One was in the year 1873,
when Washington issued an order which
was publicly read there granting a gen.
eral pardon to all prisoners in the army
under sentence of death. The other was
in 1882, when there occurred there the
last review of the Revolutionary army as
such. 1.-The whole army was formed on
the banks of the Hudson on each side of
the river. The signal of 10 cannon being
given at West Point, the troops displayed
and formed lines, when general feu de
joie took place throughout the army"

1t is reported that the war in the
Philippines is over and that the gov
eminent will commence in November
to bring the soldiers home. This
would indeed be cheering news if it
were true, but we are persuaded
that cessation of hostilities in the
Orient is very remote. We will be
called upon, no doubt to behold the
awful spectacle of mighty nation
trampling defenceless natives in the
dust Of inhumanity and shame for an
indefinite period. American greed
must be satisfied.

The Swiss Celebrate the Fourth.

The general observance of the Fourth
Of July by the people of Switzerland is
one of the unexpected things which an
American traveller sees. If he has spent
Independence day in England or France
or Germany, where the only recognition
of the day comes from resident or visit
ing Americans, he will be surprised the
more.
