Stories Of Carl Schurz.

At the time that Carl Schurz was edi-
tor of the Westliche Post in st. Louis,
nearly forty years ago, he was remark
able for his perfect understanding of the
English language and for his purity and
elegance of speech, says Roswell Field
in the Chicago Evening Post He was
unauestionably the most finished orator
in the state of Missouri, and came to be
accepted as an authority in English
accommodation. 1t was during the ia
nous Tadpole campaign in Missouri in
the early '70s that he corrected the entire
commonwealth on the pronunciation of
the word finance, placing the accent
on the final syllable in opposition to the
generally accepted finance. The re-
porters at the press table Immediately
took exception to the word and bet a
mong themselves rs to the legality of
the 'Dutchman's" liberty with the Ian
guage. There was general CONSERVATION
when they discovered that the Dutch
man was right, and when certain other
recommendations brought them to knowl-
edge of the error of their education a
great respect for Mr.. Schurz' erudition
was created The University of Missouri
conferred the degree of LII. D. on MIR.
Schurz, and it was always believed that
the honor was attributable to his con.
tributions to the elegance of Missouri
speech. After Schurz left Missouri and
went to reside in New York, the old
pronunciation of finance" began to re-
assert itself, but in the highest circles
of culture there are still evidences of his
missionary work.
Mr. Schurz was popular with the old
time newspaper man, notwithstanding
his imperturable gravity and his entire
ignorance of the underlying subtleties of
the reportorial joke. Eugene Fields
biographers have shown what thorn
he was in the side of Mr.. Schurz during
the campaign in which he accompanied
the statesman as correspondent, though
~ u matter of fact most OF the stories
related of those memorable excursions
are pure fiction. Still, if Mr.. Schurz
was slow in taking in the point of q
joke, he was always tolerant of his prank
ish companions, and was ever courteous
and considerate, and the writer recalls
one notable evening when Mr.. Schurz,
who was an excellent pianist wrapped
his long legs under the piano and played
college songs and negro melodies while
the newspaper crowd swelled the chorus
His own attempts to reproduce tho negro
dialect with strong German accent
added materially to the festivity of the
occasion.
In his later life Mr.. Schnrz was asked
You have been in the United States
senate, at the head of cabinet depart
ment, and editor of great newspaper.
Which position was most to your taste p
He answered, THE Senate-incompa
ably. Springfield Republican.

call an election for congressman and
state Officers but is not given power
10 call an election for county officers.
The question arises should the people
OF Oklahoma hold an election just
as usual or should the present offi-
GERS be allowed to hold over until
such time as the legislature could be
called together and make provision for
an election Of county officers. Such
an election will have to be called for
the Indian Territory portion Of the
state as they now have neither coun-
ties nor county Officers. The con-
stitution could, Of course provide that
the officers elected in the Oklahoma
portion should hold over for the two
years. but is that advisable? The leg
islature may make the term OF Office
entirely different and may do away
With certain offices and establish OH
ers. This Is a subject worthy the al
tention OF the people and should be
discussed 50 that It can be disposed OF
In the best possible manner.
