Arthur Pue German.

The place to be occupied in his
tory by the late Senator German,
of Maryland, will not be among
the great constructive statesmen
who have appeared in the Senate
nor among the great orators who
have added luster to it's debates
and its proceedings. He was
neither Webster nor a Hayne,
nor did he occupy middle place
between the two, but was in a
class of his own. In parliamen-
tary strategy he was master; in
the field of politics he was COM
manding figure and in the councils
of the senate he was easily the
leader. He was never in haste,
and always knowing the weapons
in his political armory and when,
and where, and how, and on whom
to flash them.
He was, perhaps, the most
adroit politician since the days of
Dean Richmond and the others
composing what is known in po-
litical history as the "Albany
Junta.' In his own state of Mary
land, where he ruled for years, it
was with strange mixture of
suavity, audacity and-sometimes
at least-with disregard of what
scrupulous men would have re-
garded carefully that he held COM
plete sway and made and unmade
men and political fortunes at his
own good will and pleasure. But
his methods of rule bore within
them their own destruction, and
when his candidate for the senate
was defeated and Isadore Rayner
elected it was made plain that
Maryland was tireing of one who
had been her leader for many years
From that day the decline of Sen
tor German was marked. The
strong frame and the rugged will
began to break. If there was none
the less of his old-time political
suavity the blow was none the less
keenly felt.
He was highly regarded in the
senate, for his courtesy was un-
failing and his work in committee
painstaking, intelligent and per-
formed with fidelity. He never
abandoned his true conception of
dignity, and if there were fires
raging in his breast he had the
valuable art of concealing the
flames and often won where more
lmpulsive smen would have been
certain to lose, He will rank with
Quay AS an organizer and complete
master of political strategy rather
than with William Pickney White
or Reverdy Johnson in their repre-
sentation of Maryland in the SEN
ate.
Like Quay, Senator German had
no powerful family influences to
aid him. From page in the SEN
ate, he became a senator, and in
his private life was lovable and
beloved. He was not great
statesman but he was remarkable
figure IN public life, and in Mary
l.nd, at least, it will be long be-
fore he is forgotten.-Comm

much credit for his labor and speech
in that behalf. If widely circulated, as
1t should be, it viii do a world of good

Carl schurz.


Many of our foreign born citizens
have risen to distinction and have reu-
dered splendid service to our country.
The three most conspicuous were Alex
ander Hamilton, born in the English
West Indies: Albert Gallatin, Swiss,
and Carl SchurZ, Prussian. These
three men would have been illustrious
in any country or in any age. Per-
haps of this magnificent trio Schurz
was the most versatile. He was
revolutionist when a youth in Europe
and was friend of liberty on two
continents. Here he was soldier, min
lister plenipotentiary, editor, senator,
cabinet minister, essayst, orator, lee
turer civil service reformer and his
torian. He excelled in all these varied
fields of human endeavor He is said
by competent judges to have spoken
better English than any other public
man of his time though he learned it
after he was grown to mans estate
His life of Henry Clay is undoubtedly
among the best in 1.-The American
Statesmen Series of biographies. The
fact that he came to use our vernac-
ular in its purity and its strength
should teach our young people the wis
dom and profitableness of reading the
writings of the best English and Ameri-
can authors. Carl Schurz was man
of perfect integrity and leaves to both
the country of his birth and the coun-
try of his adoption great and spotless
name His pure life should be an in
spiration to alle thinking of and desir-
ing public career. 1t is calculated
by statisticians who measure every
body and everything by the money
standard that the average healthy,
honest. Industrious immigrant to our
country is worth to the country $1,000,
but the value of man like Carl Schurz
cannot be measured In dollars and
cents. TO ascertain his worth some
other and worthier standard must be
adopted. He was great man and liv-
ed TO see the anniversary OF his birth
day celebrated by millions of people
a most unusual honor-proving beyond
peradventure the high estimation In
which he was held by reason of his
eminent services to his country and
his kind.
