New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-06-19

Yesterday was the date for the defeat
Of Prohibition in Pennsylvania.
Gov. David Bennett Hills playing the
double role of temperance advocate
and liquor man. Now if he will only
assume at the same time the ballot re-
former and the corrupt and unscrupu-
lous politician he would indeed be a
freak.
The contributions to the Jolinstown
relief fund in New York city alone aver
aged nearly 500, 900 a day. New York
hasn't much money to spend upon
monuments, but when called upon to
contribute to charitable causes the
hearts Of her people are large.
The president has appointed Mark
D. Flower, of st. Paul, to be super
vising inspector of steam vessels for
the upper Mississippi. Flower is not a
novice in the business, having held the
Office for six years, previous to his re-.
moval by Cleveland, but why didn't
some Minneapolis man get this plum?
The death of Leonard SWEET, removes
from the Chicago bar one of its Oldest
and most prominent members. He was
for years successful lawyer and ad-
vocate and was known to politics as the
intimate friend of Lincoln, having made
the speech at the Chicago Convention,
which nominated him for the presiden-
cy. He also presented the name of
Gresham at the recent republican con.
vention.
II the next Congress were to do the
fair thing it would proceed at once to
extend the provisions of our extradition
laws. Canada has set a worthy and
courteous example and it is but right
that the United States should show a
willingness to be courteous too. Be-
cause there is hatred between the ma
tons, is slim excuse for making one
country hospital for the escaped GRIM
mails of the other, and the evil cannot be
any too soon.

The committee, who have the investi-
CATION of the Rochester hospital in
charge, have adjourned till July 2.
What their reasons are for doing so we
do not know, but it seems to us that it
would have had better effect had they
kept right at the business until all was
known that could be found out and
everything righted that needed correc-
ton. Work of such a nature should
not lag. Prompt and summary action
counts for much in such cases and the
committee ought to have finished their
task without unnecessary delay.
The United States Brewers Ass0cia
ton, in convention in New York last
week, gave it out fat footedly that un.
der no circumstances would they ex-
pend money in any campaign for other
than legitimate and vigorously honor
a BILE purposes, and that in the election
on the prohibition question in Pennsyl-
yania they would adopt no improper
means for furthering the interests of
their organization. Whether the associa.
ton will actaccordingly is question but
the spirit Of the resolution is correct
and is the right one for all other asso-
Citations and for the people at large.
At length the Samoan trouble is done
for. The treaty has been signed and al
the provisions satisfactorily agreed to.
It was reported some two weeks ago
that the affair was settled but for some
reason the commissioners have been
kept from signing. There were appar-
emily provisions that didn't suit Mr..
Blaine and he informed the commission
that they must be improved upon.
Now that they have concluded the busi-
ness it is to be presumed that the wish
es Of Mr.. Blaine were carefully attended
to, and that American interests have
not been damaged by the conference.
1t begins to look as though the pre-
sent asylum investigation would be no
