Put Languages on a Par.

Fort Wayne, July 25.—One of the most important rulings in the history of the Walther league was made at the national convention here, when resolutions were passed by an almost unanimous vote to the effect that hereafter the English and German languages will be considered on a par in the league. Heretofore the German has always been the official language of the league, as It is of the Lutheran church, but this action entirely changed this. Furthermore the constitution will be revised and translated and will hereafter be printed In both languages.
