Jos. Schmucker seems to be unceas-
ing in his efforts to beautify his Tivoli
grounds and that place is now one of
the incest in town. The latest a.trac-
ton is an artificial fish pond, which he
has just completed.
Three strangers entered town last
Wednesday with the purpose of pulling
the town with the gold watch and twenty
dollar bill racket, but they were unable
to obtain license, They found New
Ulm different in this respect than most
towns, but no different than it should
be. There are always a certain class
OF people that cannos resist the tempta-
ton to be gulled by these swindling de-
vices, and it is the duty of. the author
tiles to protect them. In that New Ulm
will not allow these practiced fakirs to
literally rob the public, she sets a
worthy example to many neighboring
towns that are without such protec-
ton.
For newspaper, whose editor is as
conceited as the fowl that crows, COM
mend us to the Sleepy Eye Herald, and
for man who looks upon himself as a
necessity in the community where he
resides, and who thinks he is ssfilling a
long felt want, "show US as fair sample
none other than this same editor. His
effort last week to reflect upon the pro.
prietors and management Of New Ulm
newspapers was no more nor less than
an attempt to whisper taffy in his own
ear, and it is only queer that he didn't
take more respectable way of doing
it. He has an idea that he has really
grown great, and fears that it will not
be found out lead him to write lust such
articles as the one in question. Init
mate acquaintance with a looking glass
has tickled his regard for his own i'm
portance, and he cannot refrain from
entering another's field to increase his
own by comparison. To do this he must
resort to dirty and abusive personali-
ties, hardly worthy of an answer, and
such only as could emanate from a ma
ture like his own. He, no doubt, con.
siders the article a strong one, but to
the fairminded it is powerful, only as
limburger cheese is powerful, disagree
able in odor, but harmless.
Il the Sleepy Eye Herald man thinks
that New Ulm is but poorly. treated. by
her newspapers, why his concern; and
if to guard her interests he deems it
necessary to import men of his own

he please show credentials wherein
Sleepy Eye has been nourished and adj
vanced to material prosperity BY the
possession of {; one-horse printing shop.
like his own, run by a talented man,
who is an honor to his profession The
winds that whistle from the lakes
around may well be silent and speak
not of his deeds. They are not there
in shape of monuments to ANYTHING but
himself. And does this editor, so broad
in the mental, moral and intellectual.
so true to right, so actuated by fairness
and not by prejudice, does he believe
that the high tone and broad character
CT a town are correctly Influenced by
the publishing of such rot and bitter
malice as he would heap against COM
petitors in a similar field? To us it does
not seem consistent, and if he wants
New Ulm editors to come to his level
he should set a better example. If any
thing in the New Ulm papers has called
for an attack of that kind, we don't
know it. 1t came simply from brain
that wanted to spread itself, that want
ed to see more of its own power and
see it in print.
The trouble is, Mr.. Editor, you have
grown too big. Neither Sleepy Eyeno

bounded and you the ruling force for
good. Then, in years to come, you
might be heard of as the editor of the

ests of the people alone, and along the
principles of morality and intellectual.
