EDITOR REvIEw:-Having Just
passed three weeks at the ST. Alexander
Hospital, situated in your beautiful
town, we feel it buta duty we owe to
the sisters of the Hospital and the medi-
cal fraternity for their tender and
efficient care to us while undergoing q
painful operation and cure of Necromo,
to say a few words in their praise.
St. Alexander Hospital, though but y.
few years in existence, is one of the
finest in the state, having as it has
a beautiful location, such excellent at
tendants and such fine building and
good management, it is unsurpassed by
any charitable hospital in this western
country. All who have placed them.
selves under the care of the Sisters of
this Hospital are thoroughly satisfied
with the excellent treatment and care
they receive.
| came to the St. Alexander Hospital
for treatment on my leg the 9th of
March and can only speak in the high
est praise of the care that I received
during the operation and treatment,
from the Sister of the ..Handmaids of
Christ. = Sister Superior with a band
of true Christian workers, is always
administering to the wants of the pa
tien,s, and our prayer is that they shall
receive the rich reward that is in store
for all such true workers of Christian
charity.
In speaking of the medical fraternity,
we hold Drs. Schoch, Fritsche and Ber-
ry in the highest estimation as masters
of surgery,as was proven by the mirac-
ulous cure upon MS. DR.. Fritsche per-
formed the operation successfully, and
deserves great credit. We feel very
thankful to all the foregoing physicians
for all of them gave great aid toward
perfecting cure. New Ulm has just
cause to feel proud in securing such an
able corps of physicians and surgeons.
would advise all invalids who need
medical aid and the best of care to at
tend the ST. Alexander Hospital.
Respectfully
| NJ Calkins.

Our neighbors up there should not
mention the above at this Spring Boom
time of the year. If it was windy
enough to blow the ice out of the Lake,
it was about fourteen knots harder than
it was in this vicinity.
Numbers of small flies, gnats and
summer bugs swarmed il the air last
Sunday, April 7th. It is pretty early
for these insects, one of Minnesota's
never failing productions, but they are
sure signs of warm weather.
A gentleman living at Mortified shot

The wind.storm which New Ulm
passed through last Tuesday was only a
play thing compared with which Dako-
Ia had. Large tracts of prairie land
were run over by fire which swept
everything in its path. .Hav, barns, houses
and stock to the valuation of thousands
of dollars were burned; clouds of sand
filled the air making it so dark that per.
sons easily lost their way on the prai-
ries: wheat was actually blown from
the ground in some localities; several
persons were burned to death in differ
ent parts of the Territory. At Mar
shall Mimi, loss of prairie fire is also
reported. The large open plains of Da-
kota will not be safe from gales of wind
which cause sand storms in summer
and blizzards in winter, until trees are
planted and shelter from them is
offered.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, April 5, 1855

w washington, April D. 1889.
The President is very much vexed,
and most Republicans think he has
good right to be. on account of the
Senates rejection of the nomination of
Murat Halstead. editor of the Cincin-
natl Commercial Gazette, to be minis
ter to Germany. A few Republican
Senators, on account of personal ill
will towards Mr.. Halstead, Joined the
Democrats under the leadership Of
STANDARD Oil'' Payne, of Ohio, and
succeeded in bringing about this rejec-
ton of the appointment. It will be
strange if they do not all live to regret
their action. And it will be stranger
still'if the republican editors of the
country do not resent this attempt on
the part of certain Senators to establish
Senatorial censorship Of the press, for
there is no use to mince matters, that
is just what the rejection of Mr.. Hal
stead means. He was not rejected be-
cause of his inability to fill the position
to which he was appointed with credit
to himself, the Republican party and
the country, but because in the conduct
of his paper he has seen fit to express
his honest convictions in its edi-
torial columns, of certain things effect
ing certain Senators, particularly those
who are generally believed to owe their
seats to questionable practices.
When the people of this country ap-
prove of the punishment of fearless edi-
tors like Halstead. if such time shall
ever come, they days of Republican
form of Government in the United
States will be numbered. It is to such
men as he that the masses always look
to expose corruption in high places,
and God forbid that the day shall ever
come when they shall look in vain.
Two Democratic Senator'S, Blackburn
and Call. voted for the confirmation of
Mr.. Halstead. and Mr.. Black burn made
. strong speeck in favor of it, but they
could not break the hold STANDARD
Oil Payne had on their democratic
colleagues. The following Republicans
voted against Mr.. Halstead: Evarts.
Ingalls,, Plumb and Teller. Senators
Stanford, Stewart, Jones and Cullom
did not vote at all, although it is open
lN stated that they would have voted
against confirmation had their votes
been necessary to reject.

Poor Thing.

Is against the ARGUS and it spits out 1T
bile at an amazing rate. 1t charges the
ARGUS with debating nominations and
bringing disaster to the party by its ILL
advised schemes. Well, we wonder The
ARGUS doesn't wish 10 boast Of Its
achievements, past or present, but in re,
gard TO Its never supporting q successful
candidate, we would respectfully refer
the Eighteenth street wreck 20 Sheriff
silvis and County Treasurer Schafer.
1t reflects anything but credit
upon the Union as q political organ
TO have the democrats capture the two
most important Offices In county with o
boosted republican majority Of 1900.
And there was John NJ. Reticker who
was elected sheriff on the democratic
tic ticket In 1882, the late j. T. Mott
mayor In 1888, and V. NJ. Blanding
mayor in 1SS7-besides a number of
minor offices. The ARGUS isn't egotis-
tical enough to claim the honor of elect
ing the gentlemen above referred 10, but
1t feels that 1t performed its full duty, as
party newspaper during their can
didscy, and il wasn't necessary to pro.
vide the management with q load of
sand, either. For paper that displays
the pusillsuimous spirit of the morning
sheet, in all political and other matters,
its criticisms of the ARGUS are enough
to make horse laugh.

The Democratic Candidate for City
Attorney whom the People VIII
Reelect-.-His r. cord.
Next in importance TO the mayor to the
citizens of Rock Island is that Of city ats
torney. City Attorney McEniry has been
nominated by the democrats for reelec>
ton TO the Office which he has teld for
the past two years Mr. McEniry's past
record as city attorney speaks for itself.
He has been present at every meeting Of
the city council and has ever been ready
to answer any question that might be
asked of him. His ability as lawyer is
evinced by the fact that during the
period of his Office, when called upon for
legal information. he promptly answered
the questions, and never asked for time
to look them up. He is better acquainted
with city affairs than new man can be;
he drafted all the ordinances In relation
to progressive improvement and has been
an able adviser and worker with the i'm
hHu as COust-
quence is better qualified to carry out
plans for improvement than a man who
has had no experience in municipal laws.
When he assumed the Office of city at
torney two years ago he found the city
engaged in eighteen law suits In courts
OF record. The city is now engaged IN
but one-the BlskemOre damage suit
from Moline. in which he claims IS o. o
for an injury caused TO his shoulder by
being thrown out Of wagon. This suit
was tried at the last January term. the
jury rendering verdict for the plain
Tiff OF one dollar, which the court sci
aside. A good business man would not
dismiss his lawyer whom he had en-
ployed to defend his case, until the final
termination OF The same, especially If he
had been as successful as McEniry has
been In this one. He lie familiar, by rea.
son OF the former trial, with all the facts
in the case. The tax payers of the city
should consider this matter we'll when
they are casting their votes, and see that
McEniry's name is on their ticket.
His official acts have been such as to
command the support Of all parties. His
record stands out better as a competent
attorney than any OF his predecessors.
The city has paid out only $3.50 during
the two years for associate council fees.
1t is safe to say that if be is reelected the
city will have no associate council fees to
pay, as be will be able TO conduct the
affairs OF the city without assistance.
In view OF the fact that the city council
contemplstes public improvements for
the city during the next two years, the
voters will have made q great mistake If
they do not reflect City Attorney McEn-
