Every paper in tli« United State*, almost, tats bad something to say about (lie Laeker memorial. They hare even gone so far as to say too much. We era American to the backbone, but even if we are, we, with the general American, are willing to admit all testimony and give credit to whom it was due. Lasker was a German who gare Bismarck considerable uneasiness with Ills high and mighty thinking; he also gave evidence that he was very mueh an American at heart, which at about this time made the venerable old chancellor madder than ever, and the American people to feel warm toward him. Well, Lasker joined the silent ma­ jority. Bismarck laitghod inwardly, while America sobbed; the House of Representatives took it upon them- •elves to send in a resolution to Bis­ marck, worded as follows. * Resolved, That this House has heard, with deep regret, of the death or'tlie eminent German statesman, Edward Lasker. That Ills loss is not alone to be mourned by the people of his native land, where hjis firm and constant ex­ position of and devetion to free and liberal ideas have materially advanced the social, political and economical con­ dition ot ahose people, but by the tovers •( liberty throughout the world. That a copy of the resolution be for­ warded to the family of the deceased, Af Well as to the Minister of the United States residence at the Capital of the German Empire, to be bv him torn- mnnlcated through the legitimate chan­ nel to the presiding officer of the legislative body of which he was a member. Well, who wouldn't get mad? You can wager all you can scrape that we would be hopping ltiney! It was setae what tough on eld Bis to swallow that pill, and it stuck ; but the U. S. of A. is net to imagine itself an individual, and the German Chart eel lor says that he Is Prussia Itself. So there. And, la the words ef the Immortal Tweed: ••What are you going to do adout it?"
