NEW NATIONAL HYMN WANTED.
A DistinCtively New American Anthem
Seems 10 Be IL Demand.

Seems 10 Be il Demand.
Will not some one kindly conf
pose a new National hymn? We
should dislike to lose 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" chiefly because
of its patriotic origin on board an
American frigate during a British
bombardment, and we love to re-
call such incidents as that in Cas-
tie Garden, when Daniel Webster.
to the distress of his wife and the
delight of the audience, set the ex-
ample of rising, which has since
become common, and, by main
strength, and with mighty voice,
Joined in the chorus with Jenny
Lind, says Colonel George Harvey
in the North American.
But after all, only words are
American, the atrocious music be-
ing that of "Anacreon in Heaven, 8"
composed by an Englishman. 1t
is therefore distinctive National
only in part and after nearly a cen
fury Of trying service might well
be laid upon the shelf a yet
more efficient reason for seeking a
substitute is found in the fact that
the American people have been
trying in vain for nearly a century
to sing it.
Despite the general cultivation
of voices, the endeavor OF an audi
ence today to respond to the de
mand upon their patriotic spirit
continue to be as pathetic as it has
even been desperate. Even our
loyal navy takes America" in
place of The Star Spangled Ban
ner" at evening colors. From
time to time the suggestion is
made that this substitution be gen
orally made but here again objec-
ton arises from the fact that only
the words Of "America," too, are
American. On British ocean
steamships prior sight is tacitly
accorded to the British, and God
Save the King" is sung. While
we persist i'll adherence to the
"Star Spangled Banner, it Is fit
ting that this recognition should
be eXtened to our British cousins,
although as a matter Of fact their
claim upon the air for national
hymn is no stronger than ours, and
materially weaker than that of
others.
1t was composed by the French
man Lully in the seventeenth cen
fury, was adapted to the house of
Hanover by Handel and promptly
taken over by Switzerland for
"Russt du mein Vaterland, " al
though the Hanoverians never
abandoned it, Hell dir i'm Sieger-
kran, mot Die Wacht am Rhein, -"
being to this day the national
hymn of Germany. Consequent
ly the eve-song of British, Swiss,
German and American soldiers
about to go into battle would con-
sist of the same music and tumble
of words by Carey, Harries, Rev.
Samuel F. Smith and whoever
wrote the Swiss words. For
double-quick marching Yankee
Doodle" continues to be satisfac-
tory and Hail Columbia" is not
without merit; but America" is of
common use among the nations
and The Star Spangled Banner"
to throat-rendering; SO again we
ask, Will not some one kindly
present us with new distinctive
ly American National hymn?

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
city council held last night, 1t was voted
to exempt the Asphalt Mastico Company
from the payment, Of its city tax for a
period of FIVE years. commencing January
I. 1000. This action was taken as The
result Of petition from the company
asking that its taxes be RENTED for the
period granted by the council. As no
city taxes have ever been assessed on the
property at present occupied by the coz
pauy, its valuation has never been fixed
as basis of taxation by the city.
The matter of remaining certain streets
and numbering the dwellings, of the city,
was taken up, but not disposed Of, the
subject being referred back TO the mayor
and committee on streets. The PROPOSE
tion is being considered with view to
securing the establishment Of free mail
delivery The names of several thor
oughfares, as Center street and Center
avenue, are so nearly alike that confusion
i'll the mail service would probably result
unless they were changed. Itis expected
that the committee will be able TO submit
a definite report at the next meeting, and
the council will be able to pass upon it,
y petition from Dr. Day, Marshal
Dallas and certain other property owners
on State street, between Center street and
Superior street, asking for the extension
OF the sewer on that portion of State
street, occasioned considerable discussion
The council was disposed to grant the
petition, but desired first to secure guar
antees from all the interested property
holders that they would stand their share
of the expense. The committee on sew
ers will take up the matter and report at
the next meeting.
Permits were granted for the building
of sidewalks in various parts of town
and considerable routine business was
transacted.
