ABOUT INM1GRANTS.

Editor ST. Paul Daily Ncws:
The editorial in your issue of Jan. Il,
on ..Ihe Character Of Immigrants, is q
striking contrast to the write up oil
West Seventh street that appeared in
the ST. Paul Dispatch Oh Jan. q. The
fairness and common sense expressed IN
your article is refreshing. Yours is the
first English St. Paul paper to say any
thing SO unprecedented regarding the
subject, and it adds to your popularity
with all Americans of foreign parentage
who read it. The theory Of many writer's
seems to be that in order to be a good
American, person must be ignorant of
all languages, but the English. The
:'write up of West Seventh is migrate
full of the Dispatch, for it has many
subscribers among the very people it
holds to rdiculc. Such expressions as
s:rotten Dutchmen and Bohemians" are
unwarranted no matter in what humor
used. The article is injurious to the
real estate interests of that section.
While the article sneeringly remarks
that not one of the business men west of
Ramsey street has an :American name"
still the Dispatch solicits and is glad to
get those names on its subscription list.
"Mayhower American'I names make a
short list and afford scant income to a
newspaper. This country owes much of
its greatness to immigrants with I'M
American names. An immigrant from
England or Ireland comes to this country
and when here the short time necessary
to become naturalized considers himself
full-hedged American, and because his
German and Bohemian neighbors can
speak one language more than he, they
are to him foreigners, although their an
cestors came here perhaps three genera
tons ago. If Sam Jones is sent to the
workhouse the papers do not tell that
Jones is Yankee, but If Fritz Schmidt
and John Zeleny commit misdemeanor
some papers do not consider the item
complete unless they state that Schmidt
is German, or at least that Zeleny is
Bohemian. Those little things do not
go unnoticed by the foreigners" and
many act accordingly.
