As everybody knows, very much has been made, lately by certain people of tho fact, 'that there aro in this country some people who bear alien names, anil it is suggested with some bitterness that theso people are a menace to our con 11 try, aud they aro held up to public obloquy. A rebuke was administered to these n& elisors by Mr. W. 'I'. Jennings in the Houso yesterday, "No one can doubt my loyalty," said Mr. .Temiiugs. speaking with fueling. "My father came here in ISIS. and he fought for his country. Ton nil" know what my sons have dene, and what I am prepared to do myself, hut .1 do deprecate from the bottom of my heart the attacks made on people who accidentally —because, whether we are born English. Scotch, or Tvish is an accident—happen to have German parents. ]f a man is born in this country of German parents, end has associated himself-with the national life of this country, a.nd has pivyml himself a worthy citizen, that man is entitlrd t" the best resnect we ran give l him. .*uul is not to be condemned. ■ I <]e. precatp these attacks on men, who are part of our national life."
