The German Attitude.

Thcrc is every reason to believe that
thr new German ambassador meant
Just what he is reported to have said
hen ht. was presented t. President
RooS,.l .lt It few days ago. ana his ut
teranceS are most gratifying an1 re-
assuring. He took occasion To deny
positively that Germany had any in
tention of extending her sovereignty !
over any portion Of the Western hem
isrhcle. He earnestly drplored the
n-Wspat-r reports that the German
govern ment was cndcaV"ring - ac-
cuire u coaling station "r 4 'spher" "f
influence" anywhere On this hcmiS
phcrt. and added that no such design
over will be entertained. lie conveyed

and regard for the United States, and
the effect which the recent bereaN"-
ment of this country in the loss If
President Mckinley had had in d.aV

peopl,.
W. hope that the American people
will accept these assurances in tn"

been a single act on the part Of the
German government that would bear

That America and Germany are trade
rivals does not at all mean that they
arc to glare at each other and magnify
every opportunity for international
irritation. 1t is not strange that there
are many German immigrants in South
America. There are many more Of
them in this country, and we count
them and their children as among our
best American citizens. 1t is recalled,
in confirmation of the ambassador
assurances. that only Il short time ago

sailors were attacked. gave the Ger

A recent census bulletin shows that
in June 1900 there were 2l.329.Sl9 males
OF voting age in the United States and
territories. This includes Hawaii. but
not Porto Rico and the philippines.
The election returns of November b.
1900. show that the number of votes
cast We're lacking only rev thousahu
of the round total of l4.OOO.OVo. This
discrepancy of overy 100000 votes is
startling at first glance. but it does not
mean that less than two-thirds OF our
voters took interest enough in the
Presidential election 10 go to the
polls. There is enough Indifference to
the suffrage but ii is not as bad as
that. There are many factors to be
takcn into account.

Although the town election is many
weeks distant. we hear that some
members of the so-called Peoples
Labor Party are already canvassing
around to secure a mayorality nomin-
alton for one of its members, and that
the issue shall be whether we shall
have wet or dry town. All right !:
that issue will suit many of us. The
very people that want to cut off the
only source of revenue are kicking
about the heavy ~ taxes, which wSs
only $242 for last year, what do they
propose to do toward paying expenses
if the license fund is cut off? The pre-
sent officers of the town believe in the
policy of s'live and let live,' and pro-
pose to keep everything within bounds.
The town is dead enough now without
making it still worse, and thank for
tune, three of the board hold over for
another year. Some of the Labor
party people evidently believe "that
the early bird catches the worm," but
we'll see when the time comes.
