New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-03-07

For eighteen months Rhode Island
has had the full benefit Of prohibition
laws, during the greater portion of
| which time their enforcement has been
in the hands of Democrat and pro-
fessed Prohibitionist, but even under
his administration the rum business has
increased. Now it is proposed to re-
peal the law under which the chief Of
state police was appointed and is, in
fact, an entering wedge for the repeal
of prohibition as whole. The third
party is fighting hard to save the law,
but public sentiment has not been with
the law, because it has been educated
by the press in the opposite channel.
A startling array of figures is presented
by the opponents of the law which
show that there has been, in the city
of Providence alone, an increase of over
Al per cent. of drunkenness and revel-
ing under prohibition as compared with
the same time under license. For the
whole state the commitments to the
state workhouse were IS per cent.
greater under prohibition than under
license.
Second TO Rhode Island comes Iowa
in which the cause of prohibition has
proved barrier to commercial devel.
opponents and as a consequence ''Law
and Order League, y having as its aim
the reinstatement of fair legislation has
been formed at Dubuque. Temperance
is certainly wise measure, but prohi.
bition an injustice to the public at
large and a legislative impossibility.

The Hegener murder case, now on
trial in the St. Paul courts, is anoth-
er example of fatal consequence result
ing from libel. To injure woman's
reputation by consistent and mean &C.
cusations calls for exemplary measures,
and places the libelant in position
easily assailed and conducive of per-
picking results. John Murphy, the vic
tim of Bertha Hegener's Indignation
and revenge brought his fate about
through his own unmanly deeds.
LATER Hegener was acquit-
ted of manslaughter amid the cheers of
a sympathizing audience. This is as it
should be.

The Committee on Ways and Means
of Congress is debating over a tariff bill
introduced by Mr. Mills, which pro-
vides for reduction on number of
commodities and places several articles
on the free list. Considerable opposi-

and it will probably be greatly altered

An oia settler.

Having moved into his new resi-
denee, Oscar seitz has commenced
moving the old dwelling house to
lots on Eleventh street. The main
part OF this building was erected
by Mr.. Holland Of Hollands Add
ton fame, about % years ago, and
was then more out Of town than the
Episcopal Military Academy now is.
There was no sidewalk Of any kind
within half mile Of the place, aud
even when Mr.. SeItz purchased II,
Il was isolated aud distant. The
last named gentleman rode horse
back aud forth and was not nearly
~ guilty OF walking out there IS

man now l.. For some time there
was no inclination Oh the part of the
dwelling house builder to seek that
neighborhOOd, and the Seitz and
Berks residences were truly subur-
ban for years. Mr.. Seitz, with the
old structure a. a nucleus, built
finally quite a cOmmOdiOus, COM
Portable house, spending probably
as many dollars upon the structure
as would now build one OF tlbe very
best residences.

The Late q. CIark Pre.ea.t.

We have Just received word from
Judge Prescott, who went to attend
the funeral Of his brother Clark,
that the deceased suffered terribly
during his last illness. The Judge
saws that he seems to have many
friends there who mourn with his
family over the untimely death.
We publish below the resolutions
passed by the NJ. W. A., which did
everything in its power in caring for
him while living. From this order
his widow will receive 5000. The
Judge is looking after the deceased's
business, with view Of closing II
up. He made no will, and left
everything for the Judge to attend
tO-permitting no one else to have
hand i'm il. He leaves a nice property.
The deceased was well-knOwn and
we'll thought of in this county,
where he resided a number Of years.
He was at one time assistant clerk
Of the Kansas Senate, and had quite
a state acquaintance at the time.
The Judge writes that he himself is
quite well, and hopes to leave for
home the last of the week:
At the regular meeting Of Hazel
Camp III, NJ. w. A, on July ~, ISIS,
the following resolutions were UNI
auimOusly adopted.
Whereas, Our esteemed neighbOr,
G. {. Prescott, has fulfilled his
earthly destiny and joined the great
majority beyond, be II
Resolved, That we extend to his
bereaved family and friend our sim
cere sympathy, and while he has
left a worthy heritage in our hands
for them, his kind acts and his
pleasant words are treasured up a.
priceless gems upon which the
minds of all who knew him will love
to dwell in the fOndest and most
sacred Of recOllectiOns.
Resolved, That We recognize IN
our deceased neighbOr a true and
generous wOOdman, who never sur
rendered to any obstacle In the way
of duty, and it will ever be our
pleasure to emulate the noble exam
pie we acknowledge in him.

SALIVA SECURES THE FEDERAL
COURT.
The Bill has passed Both Houses and only
Awaits the Presidents Signature.

Tuesday r. P. Craveus received
8 telegram from Mayor Banks an
nouneing that the bill providing for
a Federal court in Salina had passed
the Senate. Yesterday morning Mr..
Cravens received q second telegram
announcing that the bill had passed
the House. IL now only awaits the
Presidents signature to become a
law. For this success the people OF
Salina are indebted In the first in
stance to Mayor Banks and X. P.
Cravens, whose personal presence
and work resulted In pushing the
matter along. Such bills lag, and
"intereessOrsiare necessary TO make
them move. We are indebted, also,
to Senator Plumb, who introduced
the bill to Congressman Anderson
vino did good work for it, aud to
Senator Ingalls,, member Of the
Senate committee by which the bill
was recommended and in which
originally there was oppsoitiun.
There is no doubt but that the
President will sign the bill aud
Il will become = law. There are
now four cities in the state
which are honored by a ses-
sion Of this court: LeavenwOrth,
Topeka, Wichita, Fl. Scott.
AS the holding Of a court in
the four named places resulted
in bringing to those places govern
ment buildings, so the establish
ment OF = term in Salina will be the
opening wedge of bringing n gov
eminent building to Us. The simple
holding Of court Is not in itself to
be Of great benefit, and for which our
city is not solely striving; but it il
to obtain building which will prob
ably cost $4,000, and be the pride
and ornament OF the city. One point
has been gained, and now for the bal
ance Of the points.

The CraWloru louMAE HlsANiAs
Probably the Republicans Of Sa-
line county are most Of them aware
that at the county convention held
last fall, it Was decided to hold
future county conventions for the
nomination Of county officers upon
what is known as the Crawford
county system. II was thought that
some Of the evils encountered in the
delegate convention would by the
new system be entirely eradieated,
aud Il commended itself TO the
serious attention and elaboration
Of the convention. While It was
recommended in q general way, and
the recommendation will undOubt-
eddy be considered A. law, there was
no well-defned understanding Of
the system manifested upon the
part Of the delegates assembled, aud
~ a consequence no rules were pro-
mulgated by which the system
should go into full force and effect.
To-day the Republican voters are
without eOmpas or rudder and do
not understand how the business is
to be handled. In a general way they
know that the candidates are TO be
voted for directly at the primary
elections, and without the interven-
ton Of those "middle men" called
delegates, the result Is To be declared
at = time set who has received the
most votes In the county, aud thus
declared nominees for the respective
offices they are seeking. But the
hOW's, why's, &c., Of doing all this
still remain unanswered. To make
the system clear to all the voters
50 that they may know just what
they are doing, and to give all can
didates aud their friends q square
deal, the Republican central COM
mittee should assemble aud formu-
late some plan for these elections
and promulgate a set Of rules to
govern them. The system should
be thoroughly explained aud eluei-
dated. As Il has been recommended
aud will be adopted this year, ii
should be thoroughly tested, 50 that
II may be either continued As bene-
fetal or done away 81 unsatisfactory
in future years. In Dickinson
county convention last Saturday,
the following resolutions were
passed:
Resolred, That We are opposed to
the Crawford county system as
ton last fall.
Resoired, That the delegate sys-
tenn that has been In vogue for the
last thirty years is far preferable.
We are not informed as to wheth-
er thorough test was made in that
county; but rs the resolutions pass
ed with few if any dissenting voices
there must have been pretty well
defined dissatisfaction with the sys-
TEN, aud this OF course could not
have been obtained except upon
trial Of IT, Il is to the interest Of the
Republican party To adopt some
plan which shall thwart the designs
Of schemers and place upon the
ticket the very best Of men. Defeat
has too often in the past come to the
regularly nominated ticket, aud this
has happened in most eases because
there was no attendance Of the
voters upon the primaries. IL the
Crawford county plan will bring
the voters out, Il will be voted \
success; IL not, We shall have 10
resort to the old plan with its ae-
compauying evils.

SATURDAY. Ratification Meeting.

II is the purpose Of Republicans Of
Saline county to unite in a ratifica-
ton meeting at Roller Coaster Park
next Saturday afternoon. The pros
poets are that large delegations will
be present from Gypsum City, As
sarla aud BrOOkville. The Fourth
Regiment Band has been engaged
for the occasion, and possibly other
bands will be present. Geo. r..
Peek, whose brilliant OratOrical
powers are something more than
stats-famOus, will he present. IL Is
expected also that the candidate for
Governor and other Republican
nominees will be present. In the
evening the Flambeau Club will
give fire works exhibit. Let all
Republicans be on hand aud enjoy
Saturday as q political galaday.
Arrangements are being made and
doubtless will soon be perfected by
which a Republican campaign daily
will be run in Salina during a part
Of the month OF September and the
whole OF October. The Republicans
are hardly reeOnclled to allowing n
Democratic daily to occupy the whole
field, aud hence this move. II the
plan Is fully carried out the paper
will be daily edition Of $500 and
delivered free in all towns Of the
county. 1t will contain very little
advertising aud be clock-full Of cam
