The SLEIGH. RIDE THAr DIDN'T
CONE Orr.
OF course it didn't. Who ever
heard of sleigh-ride in the mud, and
last Friday mud was every where.
1t was king Of the mountains. Be-
sides it rained and showed all day,
and altogether was one of the worst
days of the season. But who cares a
penny for sleigh-ride when they can
get magnificent supper without one?
Despite this execrable weather rs
couples sat down in landlord
Worthen's dining room to one of the
finest spreads ever given in the place.
Had the weather been decent this
number would have been trebbled,
but as it was, it was really surprising
that so many came out and showed
conclusively that our people sympa-
thized with and appreciated Mr..
Worthen's efforts to give us good
hotel.

he been like most men who reach seat

paratively poor and that makes him an
example to others. We need more such

AS a prophet is without honor in his
own town, so is a public benefactor,
who does not in eVerv step succeed in
going Alright. The faults of a man,
as we have had opportunity from time
to time to see right here in New Ulm,
always appear az mountains in size,
while the good qualities diminish into
nothingness. The suddenness too, with
which the people sometimes turn against
a friend, is almost enough to give any
person hesitancy about putting himself
forward.

s. Like the effort to displace Braden
from the authorship, there is stir
among a few admiring friends to get J.
A. Tawney, of Winona, into the Office
of attorney general. Tawney is a bright
young man with much ability, but
wherefore these aspirations? Isn't the
present Incumbent good enough, or
would Tawney be any better? People
should ask themselves such questions,
before making unnecessary changes.

The Anoka Union call attention to
the fact that regular tax should be
placed on the express companies of the
state and that the legislature should
see to regulating their charges. The
Unions advice is well given. The ex-
press companies are just as much of a
monopoly as the railroads and need to
be held down by just as many restric-
tons. By that, the Review does not
mean that they should be made to do
their work. for nothing. That would
be request out of reason. But every
body, who has had dealings with the
companies, can testify to their exhor.
bitant rates, and listle hauling down
would do no harm.

turning the cold SHOULDER to earnest
workers for a town, just because they
happen now and then to make blum.
der Or mistake, is not only wrong in
itself, in that it remembers the fault
while it forgets the good, but it tends
to discourage as well the spirit of pub.
lie enterprise in every body. In this
last respect it reacts on the town and
does it harm. A much better way
would be to remember that there are
none who do not sometimes err, and
that it is far more charitable to recog.
nize the willing services OF man, that
are fruitful of good, than to allow one
small mistake to shadow and darken
all.
1t has been stated around town that
the Review was opposing Kiefer for
Mayor Of St. Paul. This is mistake.
We have never yet said one word
against him, and, on the contrary, his
election would please us hugely and
tickle us to the extreme. If it were
possible, his election would be one of
the best things that ever happened to
St. Paul. But that's the trouble; it
doesn't seem possible, and we fail to
see why we should be accused Of oppos-
ing him, simply because we are giving
the news, even if that news conveys an
admission Of defeat. One man gave
as his reason for our action that we
were influenced by the Pioneer Press.
This is the richest thing we have heard
IN long while. We seldom read the
Press, much less take any stock in
what it says. Wonder too if we aren't
entitled to an opinion Of our own.

Congress is in the tolls of scramble
over the Window and Senate silver
bills. The Review is not posted enough
on such matters to pass an opinion as to
which is the best, but rs each is an expe-
riment, it is hard to see why our states
men should not accept Of the secretary S
plan, and give it a trial. Window is
known to be pretty sound on financial
matters, and his bill has al least the
appearance of being the best and safest
of the two. 1t certainly does not play
as much into the hands of the silver
kings as does the other.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-04-30

The Winona Herald hits the nail on
the head when it says that sin prepar-
ing the Lind judicial bill and promot-
ing its passage, Representative John
Lind deserves the hearty thanks of the
state at large. In fact his comprehens-
i've grasp of the wants of the entire
state, and his fidelity TO che people in
this and other measures, compels us to
enquire whether there is not some first
class senatorial timber in the make up
of the honest and industrious member
froms.the second district" This, from
democratic source, is well worth GER
tain amount of attention. In the pres.
ent session of congress there has been
no member from Minnesota, who has
done more real work than has Lind.
Arduous and always awake to his duty
he has accomplished for his constituents
and for the state at large great deal
that others have failed to do and that
stands to his lasting credit. Whether
the people of the state will recognize
this in time, in the way in which the
Herald suggests, remains to be seen.
If they do, good and well enough. But
however that may be, the voters of the
second district should at least appreci-
ate his services to that. extent to return
him to seat in the House as willingly
as they have in the past.
Bishop McGorlick, the Catholic bish-
op of Duluth, it appears, does not agree
with the position assumed by the late
Archbishop Heiss and the Catholic
clergy of Wisconsin with regard to the
Bennett law. He is reported as follows:
chat law and the questions growing
out of it, he said fare coming into
politics and will be in issue an the next
campaign I believe. Both of the po-
litical parties have taken it up and it
has attracted good deal of attention

complishments afterwards. The OBJ
