As for Herbert, he merely bowed to him politely from a little distance; and Herbert, who had picked up at once with a Polish exile in a corner, returned the bow frigidly without coming up to the host himself at all for a moment's welcome. 'I'm always pleased to meet friends of the cause from Oxford, Herr Schurz said, in almost perfect English.
There was need of liberalizing and loosening things in Missouri, for which he sat in the Senate they could not go on forever half the best elements in the State disfranchised. Thus the Liberal Movement of 1872. Schurz went to Cincinnati elate with hope. He was an idealist not quite yet a philosopher. He had his friends about him.
The Nast cartoons, which as to Greeley and Sumner were unsparing in the last degree, whilst treating Schurz with a kind of considerate qualifying humor, nevertheless greatly offended him. I do not think Greeley minded them much if at all.
They accomplished this result in the most speedy and scientific manner, using as their proposed lever this identical plan since adopted by Mr. Schurz.
Around my fire an evening group to draw, And tell of all I felt and all I saw. Something like this occurs to me upon a reperusal of the unfinished memoirs of my old and dear friend, Carl Schurz. Assuredly few men had better warrant for writing about themselves or a livelier tale to tell than the famous German-American, who died leaving that tale unfinished.
Now, what was this man Schurz talking about? 'Why, sheer communism, sir, said Mr. Blenkinsopp, severely: 'sheer communism, I can tell you. Co-operation of workmen to rob their employers of profits; gross denunciation of capital and capitalists; and regular inciting of them against the Property of the landlords, by quoting Scripture, too, Doctor, by quoting the very words of Scripture.
In 1883 Schurz retired and Godkin was made editor-in-chief, having the aid and support of one of the owners, Horace White. On January 1, 1900, on account of ill health, he withdrew from the editorship of the Evening Post, thus retiring from active journalism. For thirty-five years he had devoted himself to his work with extraordinary ability and singleness of purpose.
Schurz will readily concede "I would not have accepted the mission had I not felt that whatever preconceived opinions I might carry with me to the South I should be ready to abandon or modify, as my perception of facts and circumstances might command their abandonment or modification." Mr.
And when Ernest announced that Herr Schurz had consented to aid him on the 'Social Reformer, and to add the wisdom of age to the impetuosity of youth in conducting its future, the simple enthusiasm of the wicked revolutionists knew no bounds.
I sometimes wonder what might have happened if Schurz had then and there resigned his seat in the Senate, got his brood together and returned to Germany. I dare say he would have been welcomed by Bismarck. Certainly there was no lodgment for him thenceforward in American politics.
