A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader
takes that paper to task for upholding the
German side of the racial controversy which
threatens the security of the Austrian em
pire. The writer taken up the cudgel for
the Hohemtans , or Czechs , arid reviews the
causes leading up to the present situation
"Tho opposition , " ho writes , "has a certain
strength Hut the volume of smoke and
Muster docs not always Imply great power.
Impartial observers all ntjrco that German
prestige In the monarchy has been declln-
'HK ' In recent years. Sidney Whitman In
his Mlcalm of the HapslmrgB.1 commenting
on this fact after having enumerated the
conditions si > overwhelmingly favorahlo to
the German language , says that we would
Kiippnsr that It hat ) been strengthened. Yet
the opposite has taken place. It Is only by
tlomlnailnR the mind that one nation may
permanently displace the language of an
other That It cannot bo done by oppression ,
by force , the Czech nation will bear the
best t'.Btlmcny. Kvcr since the C/cchs lost
the last vtstlgo of their liberties nt the battle -
tlo of White Mountain. In Ifi20 , the govern
ment ban by cheer force , varying In degree ,
endeavored to Germanize them. And whit

tion of rVerh rights. IfNU can Imagine such

VIOLATED i'i.rr : > Gns.
"On October 21 , 152G , Ferdinand I of the
IIOUFC or Hapsburg wan elected king of
liohemla His election was entirely volun
tary on the part of the Czech nation , the
C/cehs having the sovereign right to elect
their king. Ferdinand solemnly promise' ! ,
nmont ; other things , 'to defend the lloho-
mlan kingdom ; lo maintain the privileges
ami liberties of the kingdom nnd the com-
parl and to go\ern according to them : not
to ne'ort foreigners for olllclal station ,
it nil he iilso promised to govern the king
dom a'folding to the laws nnd usiges of
tlie Mugs , his processors , and especially
Charles IV. ,
"Hip llirnnn of Hohcmla has been held by
the Hapsburg dynasty since. How Ig-
nnmininuHly the llapsburga have kept this
fcolomn oath Is plainly proved by history , nnd
this pioof ; s made emphatic by the disorders
of the 'ast ' few weeks. Dynastic perfidy ran
establish no historic basis , and hence the
Hermann ha\o none In this case. And any
hoclnl H iprcmacy that may have been gained
through such dishonorable and perfidious
means Is most deti'st.ihlo. Hut this social
prestlgo of the Germans has been disappear
ing , imir-h to their annoyance. Tremendous
changes luivc taken place In Bohemia during
the last twenty-five years. And If the Ger
mans are going to shako the foundations of
the 'realm * because some slight reparation
Is being made to the much-wronged llohe
mlan nation , the Slavs are Infinitely more
justified In shaking theno name foundations
If this rcpiratlon Is withheld. The shaking
can bo < lom > by thi Slavonic slclo with equal
facility.
"Tho German minority holds most of the
land and \\cilth , > ou siy. This , of course.
mcinn the landed aristocracy. But I ven
ture the question. How did they acquire the
tUlc to this land and wealth ? During the
years following upon the Bohemian revolu
tion of 1C18 , which was the opening of the
thirty years' war. the Mower of the Bche-
mJan nation was sacrificed. The terrible
cruelties which Catholic fanaticism inflicted
upO'ii the Czech pycolo have left their evi
dences to this day. Not only was religious
fanaticism the motive tor these awful deeds ,
but also the desire to obliterate every trace
of Czech national life. And though the
primary cause may have -shifted somewhat ,
the Germans have not abandoned thla dcMre
even In our day. One Imperial order alone
caused 30,000 Bohemian families to emigrate
rather than renounce their I'rotebUiut faith
At the beginning of the thirty j cars' war
the Copulation of Bohemia numbered 1,000-
000 ; at Its close , about 800.000.
"Tho best elements of the Czech nation ,
Including almost all of the native mobility ,
were dead or exiled. Their wealth and their
estates wcro confiscated , and divided among
their merciless persecutors. 'It was at this
time , ' says Leper , 'that a crowd of foreign
families settled In Bohemia , hosu descend
ants may still bo found In Austria or Uo-

f SOME POINTS OF HISTOKY.
"Itas small wonder that these Intrude ,
enriched by the royal inunlflccaco at the
expense of the Czech nation , showed little
solicitude for the rights of the people In the
diets. The German historian , Struvc , has
remarked , with Justice , 'that , of all the
nobles In the world , those of the empire
of Austria have the least right to bo proud
of their orlglu ; and tliLs la especially the
cafio In Bohemia. '
"And should the Czech people today bow
down In submission to the descendants of
their dcspollers ? But oven among the lauded
aristocracy , 'Czech ' aspirations have sincere
supporters. This aristocracy Is not all of
the same 'blood > wlth the imperial family. If
'by that Is meant German blond. Their
names betray also a Spanish and Italian
origin.
"Tho loyalty of the Germans to the
Hapslmrgs , nnd their desire to preserve the
unity of the cmplro against Uhu revolu
tionary and disintegrating tendencies of
Slavic discontent , ' nro net well attested by
history. Recent demonstrations of the Ger
mans In Bohemia show their unavoidable
partiality for the German empire , lleforo 1
this century the Germans \\eru dlvldeH In 'I
their loyalty to the Hapshurgu. mainly on
.religious lines ; the Protestant Germans hated ;
them , uhllo the Catholics esteemed them.
.During this century itho polyglot state of the i
Jlapsburgs has suffered fiom the discontent
of various elements Gorman. Slav , Magyar
and Italian. Why. centuries ago , even the [
Swiss , llttlo nation OH they are , had their
grievance , revolted and set up a government ;
of their own. And , moreover , It was the '
German clement of the. Swiss who proved dis '
loyal to the Hapsburps ! Hven our American 1
colonists \\cro once discontented , hut uo '
never blamed them any for It ,
"In 18IS tlio Slavs of Bohemia , the Czechs '
refused to attend the Frankfort Parliament
;
which "as called In the Interests of the now
GDI-many , nnd to the detriment of Austria
anl the Hamburg dynasty. The eminent
Czech historian , I'alacliy , who had been in
vited to alteiid Its deliberations , refused to
do so on tli" ground that ho was no German ,
but a Crcch. And ho adds : 'Besldeo. you
i lsh to enfeeble Austria forever , to make It
imporalblo for her to exist as nil Independ
ent nation. N'ow the maintenance of the
Integrity and the development of Austria Is
of vast Importance not only 'to ' my people , butte
to the 'uliolo ' of Kuropc , to civilization and
the human race. '

Jcteclc loyal both to the cause of the Slavs ,
whom the 'Mapjars have always opprcascl
and to the Oymmly ; and later wo * ce the
Rfeat Slavonic power of Russia Intervene In
behalf cf the Hopflhurgs. The Viennese took
flldcfl wild the Magyarfl , disloyal again to
the H'ipsburgs , and when the revolution
broke out In Vienna the emperor fled to
Olomouc among the Sla\s , where anx ! > he
felt safe. Thus we sec ( hot the Sla\B have
remained lojnl to the Hapsburg dynasty on
many an occasion wJicn their German neigh-
bora flhowed treason. T o centuries before
thla , when the Turk was on the point of
conquering Vienna and the whole of Chris-
IcnJom was terrified , another Slav , the Polish
king , John Sohltskl , saved the realm of the
Hspsburgs only to have Ingratitude heaped
upon him. And Maria Theresa In 1772 fur
ther exemplified Hnpsburg lograltude by
grasping a part of dismembered I'olanl.
"In the present racial ( strife In Uohomla

find Mioy are accountable for the violent
turn which off a Irs there have taken. 'Iri
numerous parts of the country the existence
and personal freedom of any citizen who re
mains true to hU uohcmlan descent are
placed In Jeopardy. In many Instances
Czecln ha\o been driven from tliclr faomca
and compelled to seek nhcltor In districts
where their fellows nro in the majority. I3e-
cause of their language many have been
given notice to quit their offices , service and
dwellings. llaliemlan sentiment has been
publicly mocked and abused and iivutera
liavo gone so far that prayers have been
forbidden In Bohemian churches.1
FOREIGN INTRUDERS.
"And these airogant foreign Intruders
have the bold effrontery to raise a cry of
alarm when the patience of the long-suffering
Czechs becomes exhausted , nnd these ask
for their ancient historic rights ! The Ger
man * having control of those sources tlnough
which the English speaking world rccclvis
Its Information In icgard to 'these matters ,
are endeavoring to make , us believe that
their compatriot * In UohemU arc sulfurlng
a martyrdom , while the fact Is that they
have been making martyrs of the CVcchs
Yet nearly three eeutntlcs of suflcrlng and
oppression have not been able to break the
Indomitable spirit of the Czechs jnd their
small nation , of jotu so replete with heroism ,
may again play an Important part lu
European history.
" \ml the Ilohcmlans , or Czechs , arc not
unworthy of their nnclont liberties nnd
history bears testimony that human prog
ress and human rlchts were never en-
d.'uijsered , but weie nlwajs conserved by
Itolipmlan free loin. 1'rlor to the union of
their destinies with the illapshurg dymstv
the CVeeh nation had for 000 years enjoje'l
a free constitutional government. The whole
history of Bohemia Is n struggle to maintain
llbeity , civil , religious and political. The
first university of central Hurope was founded
at I'laRiio by Charing IV. in 1318 , and
Slfi'-nnlc 1'insno was at that time the in-
tt'llcetual center for Germany. Hungary and
the surrounding countries , ( n the reign of
this morarrh , sa\s Vlckors , 'liohemla stood
first In the woild In power , wraith , progress
and liberty. ' The Bohemian reformation
preceded the Gorman by 100 years , and
when I.uther began to raise his voice against
the abuses and the corruption of the Catholic
clergy , there wcie alieady In Uohcmla and
Moravia more than -100 Protestant churches
of the sect of the 'llohemlan ' iDrctlnen alone
with a ptobable membership of 200,000 souls.
GE.VIUS OP Tlin RACK.
"A magnificent literature glow tip , whose
works relentless fanatics have been destroy
ing oven as late as 1818.Vo need only to
mention a few renowned names , as Iluss ,
Comenlus , Xlzka , and Chelcicky , to prove
false the calumny circulated by Germans
that Slavonic genius Is impossible. The
progress of the Czechs of this century In
sclonce , art , and literature Is wonderful. In
mus'p ' , who has not heard of tlic world-re
nowned Dvorak ? The Encyclopedia Dritan-
nlca Is authority for the statement thai
tholr more prominent names in philosophy ,
theology and politics arc too numerous to be
mentioned In detail.
"When a nation's culture nnd a literature
are ruthlessly destroyed , not only that par
ticular nation but the whole world Is the
loser thereby. Such n destruction means a
step backward In the onward march of the
human race , and in liohemla the German
race has been guilty of such a destruction ,
and has not jot desisted entirely. There Is
a sacrodncss In the freedom which every
race should enjoy. In order to liave an op
portunity to give expression to that genius
with which nature has endowed it , and the
Czechs on behalf of the Slavic race arc at
present engaged In a struggle to maintain
this sacred freedom.
"Tho American penplo have always proved
their love of liberty and fair play. Our
sympathies have been with oppressed Hun
gary , and Uohcmla politically bears the same
relation to the Hapsburg dynasty as Hun
gary did prior to 1BG7. Wo have sympathized
with Grecco In her struggles , and today we
wish the Cubans success. In the past we
never sought for any justification of opprcs-
Hlon ; wo drew no line between oppressors ,
whether Turk , German , or Spaniard , they
all met with our contempt. May It be so In
the future ! And let us hold In grateful
memory the fidelity of the Slavs to our own
nation. May we never forget the services
of I'ulaskl and Kusluszko , the friends of
Washington. And In the late civil war ,
when our own Anglo-Saxon parent. Great
Britain , was about to forsake us , the great
Slavonic power of Russia stood by our
side. "

of the next term. There arc a number of
ox-parto matters ) tot for hearings nnd sev

I was taken down over two years ago. Could not do my housework or sit up
but little at a time. We tried everything we could hear of without benefit and I
felt I could not live long. But my husband got me a bottle of Wine of Cardui and
begged me to take it. To my surprise I had only taken a few doses until I was
greatly improved. I got up in a very Bhort time , able to do my work and have been
so most of the time since. I am passing through the change of life and when I do
have a bad spell I get Wine of Cardui and am soon all right again.
I sent you a list of names of ladies for the Wine of Cardui bocks. They got
the books and have all used the medicine. They are just as well pleased with it an
I am. IVUnt you to know about my daughter's case. When her baby was six
weeks old she had a bad fall and the doctor said it caused enlarged ovary. The
only way she could get relief from the pain was to use morphine. She did that for
months. She came to me in March
and I insisted that she stop taking
morphine and try Wine of Cardui.
To make a long story short your
medicine cured her sound and
well.
well.I
I never talk with a woman but I
must tell her what Wine of Cardui
has done for me. I often tell
tl > em n ° t to take my word for it
but to try one bottle and if it don't
do as I say I will pay for it. They
all say it is the best medicine made
for women.
