"DANNY'S" DESCRIPTION | OfCrokcr'fl $10 Dinner?The Champngue was Great, but ho Prefers Mixed ale With Mulligan. ^ Xew York Tribune: Great expectancy was stamped on the countenances of u group of small-fry Democratic poiitl- g cians at the Klondike saloon, In the Twelfth word, last night as they awaited the coming o! Daniel McChuck, a sewer inspector and the leader of his n particular election district. The men ^ were talking about * the Croker-Jeffer- 0 eon dinner. ? "I-suppose Danny'll be chesty to us 0 now," said McCloskey, who, after doing t nothing for a year, now bosses a sec- G tion gang of street sweepers. t! "It wuz the furst toime ho iver galll- * vonted around in a full-dress shoot," b ventured Flaherty. 1? "We won't, see him <o-nlght," said d Ronney; "he do be sieepin' off the ef- d foots av* It all." Hut Just as the latter was speaking *1 in walked Mr. McChuck. He shook d hands graciously all around, but his 8 eld friends felt a little shy, and looked him over furtively. I "Well, Danny," said McCloskey, "ye had yer Mg blowout an' slept off your u drunk, an' now tell us what ye saw." c a*, n'whri" an Id McChuck. "slitire a seem as if 'twas nil a passin- drame. The lights and the music and the grub ,!b ?the only way I know It wasn't a 1 drame 1-" <hat I blew In 510 for the dinner end $25 on the side?all I had." "\Vuz ye interjueed toCroker?" asked n' McClofikey. kicking Flaherty In. the eh ins gently. "No. hut I shook the hnnd of wan of ? the district lenders who did shake hands with him. Ah, byes, ye should a seen ihim! I sed to myself: That the dlvll's the use of being: the Shar of Roosha (j, w'en dore's better pickln' In Tammany . Hall? Oh. yis. An* ho long ns mlmory 111 holds and reason in inthroned In the tl top of me head, so help me, I'll never tt forglt - how Dick Croker looked wld squabs and champagne and roses and soup all around him. He looked like an Qngel, begad." Jc , "How about' Belmont?" asked Fla- di herty. The crowd had by this time be- ig come largely augmented, and Mc- p, Cliuck noted with pride that he was ni talking to a room half full. a, "Billmont?oh, yes! Shure! Perry?we d, called him Perry last night. I tell you. 81 Mick, that man's heart bates for us n, wurrukingmen day and night. He told 0j me f-o himself. He nlver goes to sleep V| without waking up beforehand to do pj ?omething for the cause of humanity. S( An* didn't his old prandfother blow the t* Civil out of King George on Lake Erie, n, 6ays he to me." rven, iuuiL eistr wus uicie; uaivvu aj Flaherty. "Wuz there any sluggin'?" Si "Ah." said McChuck; "ye should have w seen Dick Croker wade Into it! Ah?h? pj ah! A bloke by de name of Nolan gits up in front of Croker and makes snoots ra at him. An* Croker gits hot under his jn collar ar.d he says to Ed. Murphy. 'Ed. bi if It wasn't for the ladles in the boxes bi I'd break that man's mug." tl "But Nolan went on making mugs at C? ; de boss until some one got him by de m coat tails and pulled him down. Then e< w? nil fuk a drink and waited for some- d tiling else to break loose." tfc "Didn't ye smash no man, Danny?" et Ock'-d Flaherty, in a tone of contempt. ai "Xo, me bye, not there?not in the S? presence of the exponents of Thomas a: Jefferson: but when I got home this r? morninV I ran across a Dago banana. tc pedler ar.d I bate the divil out of him." "An' *e had all ye could drink?" ask- n, ed McCloskey. with glistening eyes. a, "I did so?champagne?all cham- f papne, slvin different brands; but as a thrue ns I live, it Isn't ns good as the r< mixed ale wp git here wid a dash of jc mulligan in It." w "Do ye be movjn' out of th' ward n now. Danny?" asked Flaherty. tl "Divil a bit. me son," said McChuck, c, banging his fist on the table. "Wanst is gl enough for the likes o' me. I slnt the it dre^P ehootc back to the Sheeney I got t it off av for $3, an' I've Just 'stood off' t the Dutch grover, I've got sixty cent3 t left, glntlemln. to last me till next pay, a< an' wid your kind permission we'll re- ai sume the even tinner of our devious ways before we indulged in honoring w?u 01 simple tastes, out u explosive Imitators. Say. bring lour tr pints of mixed ale, an' don't forget the mulligan. This is the- night I drink the stuff that makes votes." With that Daniol McChuck and his T friends clinked their Rosses, and the reporter, who was using the telephone, hoard r.o more of the ten-dollar dinner. ? ci GKRM AN-AMERICANS. 3 31 Unwisdom of tho Proposed National Organization. ! Louisville Courier Journal: The German-Americans of Chicago announce r, that they are forming a national organ- C( ization with the object of preventing an S) Anglo-American alliance. This Is a V( wholly gratuitous performance. In the first place, no actual offensive and s| defensive alliance between Great Brit- (l1( i aln and America Is being di6ciwsed, di and. in the second place, it will only be in possible in case of a quarrel, say with tl i Germany or some other continental sj j power. In the meantime it will be well 01 for German-Americans to bear In mind in that any alliance that may be-formed w will b,; formed because in the Judgment di of the people of the United States It w will be best for the entire nation, and cl Tint tr.r - ijiuju in., mu population. This being so our adoptive citizens will 1 be equally benefited with others, and i should be equally In favor of such a proceeding. t<l The most distinguished citizen of this country born on German soil Is Carl Schurz. What he thinks of the fe duties' of his fellow-Immigrants to tho Jn land of their adoption, and what he be1 loves should.be their policy he htm ex- (j( pressed in the following words: tj. "The German who makes this country uj tho home of his choice must soon learn or to understand?and most do learn It Im- fn mediately?that henceforth this Is his be country; th.at his welfare nnd that of rn his posterity are closely bound up In the \vi welfare of this republic; that It shall ly ti'-ver enter the minds of him or his Gi C"uatrymen to form here a separate af nationality;, that n'; a German-horn he so has no exceptional rights or duties or wl interests; but only the rights nnd duties la and Interests of the' American citizen; in that he must fully comprehend the re- fl{ "i'onslolllty of tho American citizen ' " : tho free Institutions of this re- " public, so uf tn exercise his political *'{ rights honestly nnd wisely for -the pubHe goad; that his own freedom, bis own rights, and his own future are preserv? 'i most wifely In .tho freedom, rights . find future of the community, and that #0 he owes the American republic his full- l0 f-st devotion, nnd if necessary even his tj. goods and hip blood." f0 Thls 'ls spoken like n sane nnd a pa- jn Iriot. There is no reason why German- u, Americans, or any other Americans, ,n Mould organize themselves to bring ra about a certain policy In bohalf of another country even If that country he be the one of their nativity. They should gn ^nsult only the Interests of the United Tc States, nnd we believe they wllL k is s (he papers Is full av It. Read 'em your- 1,0 self." J 1 But McCIoskcf knew all the time * that McChuck was dying to tell about ** (he dinner, and said. ? "All right, 'ye strawberry dude. We a were t.ilkln' about Ryan's terrier llcklti' Dooley's bull when ye stepped In the c dure, an' we'll go on wld that " ft "Shuro' I'm only out of bed two P hours," Interrupted McChuck, "on' trie 8 mind Is" 'half-twisted yet." n "As I was saying. Flaherty," con- " tinued McCloskcy, "(hat dog of Ryan's B kin lick his weight In wildcats " il "Av coorso. if yez. insist," said McChuck. "I'll have to tell ire about some, b of the things wat the papers didn't git." w And then they all winked. a "Say," said McChuck, "av It doesn't & r and old 4s registered advanced % pc cent In the bid price. tg Tho total nalea of stocks to-da amounted to 533,000 shares.
