New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-08-14

Nearly every city Of any size in the
United States has seen fit to ask why it
wouldn't be a proper place for holding
the centennial celebration in 1892, To
rs there is but one proper place and
that is Washington, the capital of the
country. But just at present that city
is receiving but a small share Of BOOM
ing, and half the talking is being done
by New York and Chicago, neither of
which should have it.
The rumor that Noble, of the interior
department., will be asked to leave the
cabinet to accept position on the SUI
preme bench is most likely, like all
cabinet rumors, without foundation.
And vet if he should we cannot criticise
the presidents Judgment in the least.
Noble has won the reputation of being
81 very able cabinet officer and in all
probability would fill a seat in the SUI
preme court with equal ability. With
Gresham and Cooley out Of the question,
Noble would strike us quite favorably.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
penned a reply to the letter of the pres
ident Of the telegraph company in
which he gave Messrs. Gould and
Greene some pretty rough knocks.
These gentlemen may be running a
big business and may know all about it,
but before they get through with Wan
amaker they will find him to be bust
ness man himself of many years and
long experience, and when he asks for
reduced rates he expects to get them
or know good reason why.
Elections will be held this fall in the
following states: Montana, Washing
ton, The Dakotas, Iowa, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New.
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Virginia. In some of these, here
tofore democratic, it looks as though
the republicans would make astonish-
. ing inroads, and the democrats in Vir-
ginia especially may expect surprises.
The tide of republica success has not
ceased to roll on, and the party is
stronger now than ever.
IF Washburn and Davis don't unite
on somebody for collector of revenue
pretty soon, so many candidates will
have developed into prominence that
they will find it as difficult to select
later on as from the two who have
been in the field from the start. Every
twist and turn of the senators brings to
{ the surface some new applicant for the
4 position, always a compromise candi-
date and a friend Of both, but the APP
pointment seems as far off as ever.
Again we express the wish that from
the melee, Davis and his man Dona-
hover may come forth winners.
Thegwork of the Sioux commissioners
in opening the Indian Reservations has
at length been successfully concluded.
Patience and hard work have overcome
the most obstinate Of the Indians and,
though at times the result appeared
doubtful, the enduring energy Of the
commission always gave them the as
cendancy. Only Sitting Bullrefuses to
D yield, but even this stubborn old chief
was forsaken by those, of his own clan
and the bill received the signatures OF
all his tribe. The work of the commits
sion in accomplishing their difficult
task under the most trying disadvan-
tages speaks well for the men who COM
4 pose it and to them the people of the
Northwest are most deeply indebted.
Democrats, who sought to make poll
tical capital out Of Corp. Tanner, must
feel awfully dlsgusted with themselves.
Their attempts to ruin the gallant com.
8 missioner have fallen plumb through
and have turned out as fruitless as al
their other efforts to help q sinking
party by originating lies in the papers
y about the administration Of our public
Offices. The investigation Of the pension
\ office, which they howled for so long
and hard, has been concluded ane
enough is known of the report of the
IL Il
{ exonerate Tanner. No gross violations
Of the law have come to light and ne
discoveries were made to prove Tanner
other than dutiful and honest official
Thus another Democratic scheme is
:ked in the head, and thus they vii
Tue to be.
