The New National Anthem.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.

FROM tne P1ttsDurg Gazette.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent
Of the Chicago public schools. seems to
be the central figure in an agitation for
the adoption OF a new national anthem.
The objections to THE Star Spangled
Banner" MY Country. 'Tis Of Thee"
and other such familiar songs are well
known. The tune to which 1.-The Star
Spangied Banner is sung-a tune bor-
rowed from the GermanS-is utterly be-
yond the compass of the average un-
trained singer. AS for My Country"
it is satisfactory enough in text. but
its music is that of God Save the
King" the English anthem. Hail Co.
lumbia." Yankee Doodle The Red,
White and Blue are objectionable for
other reasons, great or small. Not one
of them is even remotely comparable
to the English God Save the queen,
the noble hymn uaat Haydn gave to
Austria or THE Watch on the Rhine
Mrs Young and her associates propose
to make a penny collection among the
300, 900 school children Of Chicago and
so gather a fund of $25.oO0 or $4,000
the whole OF which is to go to the author
and composer OF the best anthem SUBJ
mitted in competition. Unluckily enough.
it is highly improbable that this compe-
tition will put an end to the present diff
fculty Men have written national an
thems to order-the classic examples OF
HAYDN at once come to mind-but always
in the glow Of patriotic emotion. There
is at present no excuse for an emotional
outburst among our native composers.
No doubt we shall have to wait for new
anthem until the next time We go to war
and that anthem. 1t Is probable, will
not show true poignancy and beauty save
In the event that we are badly walloped.
1t was grave danger that inspired The
Star Spanged Banner" the best anthem
we have produced so far. 1t is disaster
that win produce our "Marseillaise.
