New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-02-05
Get down to Business.

The following from the Free Press
would be just as good if it had been
written for New Ulm instead of Manka-
to, and will apply as well. It is a
theme that, the Review has harped on
for many months, but it still needs re-
petition: That which will apply to ST.
Paul and Minneapolis is equally applic-
able to Mankato. If we are to have a
city Of any considerable proportions,
manufacturing Industries must be se-
cured, and steps must be taken by our
leading business men and capitalists to
pave the way to this end. We do not
need additional people to maintain and
conduct occupations now existing here,
but we do want industries of various
kinds which we now have not, and for
which the splendid location and SUR
roundings of the city offer unexcelled
inducements. The interest in this mat
ter which is being aroused through the
citizens movement may lead to solu-
ton of what kind of manufactures may
be most t-profitably carried on here, and
when this is accomplished no time
should be lost in getting down to actual
work by offering inducements to get
them. Frequent meetings and earnest
discussions are all right in their way,
but this alone will accomplish little or
nothing. Actaon mast tolLoao, or the
time devoted to debate is wasted. The
recent peroration, administered to the
Chamber of Commerce of St. Paul by
Mr.. Bookwalter, has had the effect of
arousing that body to the great neces.
sity of more manufactures and less ice
palaces; to more action and less tolk

Circuit Court Divisions.

The committee appointed by the
Minneapolis Bar association to draft a
bill, which will meet with the favor of
Minneapolis attorneys, has finished its
labors, and the new bill, which is ln-
tended to take the place of the Davis
and Lind bills, with some of the fea-
lures of each, will be presented to the
association in a few days for adoption.
1t is entitled "a bill to divide the State
Of Minnesota into two judicial Districts
In this bill all that portion of the State
lying east and north of the Mississippi
river, and north OF and including the
counties of Stearns, Douglas, Grant and
Wilkin. is to form new district known
as the northern district Of Minnesota.
The remaining counties of the State are
to comprise the southern district of
Minnesota, the present District court to
be that of the northern district. It is
intended that the district attorney and
the United States marshal shall act for
both districts until 1894, at which time
the President is to appoint new ones for
each district. He is to be empowered
to appoint q district judge for the
southern district The northern dis
trict IS to be divided into three divisions
known as the western. northern and
eastern divisions, with court to be held
in St. Paul and Duluth, and Moorhead
and St. Cloud alternately for the west
ern division The southern districts to
be divided in the same manner, with
courts at Winona, Minneapolis and
Mankato. Just how the various Mime
sofa members in Congress will act on
the bill remains to be seen. Snider will
present it, but, as they have all placed
| themselves on record as in favor of the
| Lind measure, it is doubtful whether
they can now withdraw their support.

What 1t Would Cost.

Caroline, queen of George II, was
once moved by a covetousness similar
to that which melted Ahab to ask Ma
both for his vineyard adjoining the
royal palace. that he might make it q
garden of herbs
The queen lived in St. James pal
acc, and thought that the adjoining
st. James park, belonging TO the
public, would make nice palace gar
den. She therefore asked the prime
minister, Sir Robert Walpole, what
it wohld cost to shut it up and make
it a royal garden.
"Oh, tride, madame; a trife, ]"
answered the cynical, ,shrewd premier.
"a trifle, Sir Roberti" replied the
qveen. 81 know better. 1t will be
expensive, but wish you to tell me
the cost as near as you can gness."
.'Why, madame. Ibelieve the whole
will cost but three crowns, rejoined
the prime minister, looking heE calm
1y in the faces
The queen, seeing that Sir Robert
meant the three crowns of England,
Scotland and Ireland, had the tact to
answer, tThen will think no more
of it. - Yotth's Coqnponio7,.

Daniels Address on Davis.


In Richmond, on the 25th ult., ],
u. S. Senator John w. Daniel dcliv-
cred his address on the life. services
and character of Jefferson Davis
1t was the States tribute to the mem
ory of the Confederate leader, as the
oration was delivered in response to
a resolution of the General Assem-
bly,. Mozart Academy, which seats
l 300 people, was crowded to It's ut
most capacity, and thousands of peo-
pie were turned away. Senator
Daniel concluded his admirable ora
tion as follows:
"IYe but forecast the Judgment of
the years to come when we pronounce
that Jefferson Davis was great and
pure as Statesman, man and patriot.
In the eyes of Him to whom tlous-
and years are as a watch in the night
the war and the century in which it
came are as bat tick of the second
hand of time, and when the myriads
of this great land shall look back
through unclouded skies to the old
heroic days, the smoke and the stain
of the battle will have vanished from
the hero name The chieftain of
men who wore the gray will stand
before them with countenance like
the lightning and in raimcnt white as
snow -

hundred feet of canvas. even when the lat
ter were embellished in gilded frames One
thought, nevertheless. troubled his pleasure
the necessity of depositing in his uncle's coffin
half the fortune which he had received so un-
expectedly. And as he lay between dreaming
aud waking, he wondered whether the recent
events were realities or hallucinations
The next morning he sprung out of bed, coni
tinuing his reflections. and after washing him
tself in a tub of GOLD water, prepared to com
plete his painful sacrifice Takihg a. seat, he
drew the check-book from his pocket, and
made ready to write the check for the.money
which he was to draw from the bank for the
purpose, alas of placing In his unele's last
resting place. He reflected a moment before
putting pen to paper, aud suddenly his eyes
frightened and smile appeared upon his lips.
Ha, my boy" said he, " our uncle didn't
think of that"
Two hours later, lawyer Potter, surprised at
not receiving visit FROM his client entered
the room, found the young gentleman in com
pany with fat fowl properly cooked, and was
welcomed with an air of beatitude free from
clouds.
Il have found. the weuk spot" cried the
heir, as soon us tho man of law appeared upon
the threshold of the chamber.
g What weak spot ?"
q Here, look for yourself"
Tho lawyer took the blue paper which his
client handed to him,
II was check in proper form as follows:
" Pay TO Joseph Grasper or order,

e Now, Mr.. Potter. what say you to that ~

Perfectly correct"
Very wcll, Whenever Uncle Grasper ,santa
the money, he need only so and draw it."
The argument was uhadswerable; and whom
Solomon Lyon had piously deposited the cheek
iu Uncle Grasper's coffin, in tho presence OF
the lawyer, the latter was obliged to certify III
due form that the heir had fulfilled all the CON
ditions of the will and was entitled to be placed
in possession Of his inheritance.

Those days of long ago;
The winter of mine age is here,
My hair is white as snow,
Yet through the nilsts OF lapsing years
One bright face seems to shine,
And in my arms seem to hold,
That baby boy of mine.
The memory of his youth is as
a story that is told;
I see his little rosebud mouth,
His fair hair bright with gold,
Aye how his winning little ways
Did round my heartstrinEs 'twine.

I'll ne'er forget the day,

To bear our bairn away,
And Johu, he whispered Mary, We
Must trust in the divine,
And God-He gave him back to us,

So fast the days run by,

And sang his lullaby,
And as the evening shadows fell,
The stars began to shine,

And something seems to tell me that

The ct. P" 5 Ply the Best Dark
Twist in the market.

The Richmond (ya.) branch of
the Evangelical Alliance, composed
of ministers, officers and members of
the Protestant churches of that CITY.
has had under consideration the sub
ject of reforms in funerals. A com
mittee, of which Rev. DR.. Hoge was
chairman, made a report, which was
adopted, recommending that when
practicable they should lie held on
some other day than the Sabbath,
that the moral sense of the commune
ty is less and less in sympathy with
funeral discourses, that funeral ex-
penses should be reduced, that the
leave-taking should be in private pre-
vious to the funeral and the coffin
then closed, and that at the grave,
after the religious services are CON
cludea, when the weather is inclem-
ent, the company may retire, only
those remaining whose duty and de-
sire it is to see the interment prop
erly conducted, that the ladies re-
main in their carriages, and that none
will be expected to stand with un-
covered heads in wintry storms after
the prayers are ended, nor even dur
ing the prayers if age or infrmity of
any kind makes such exposure haz-
ardous.
