New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1890-12-24

Gen. Baker was in St. Paul again
last week. and from sundry hints that
he dropped, says the Minneapolis Jour.
nal, it is certain that he will contest
Lind's seat. The official count gave
Lind only 482 plurality and this, Gen.
Baker thinks, can be easily overcome.
He will at least, he says, demand re-
count.

Western Railroads Allowed Till October 1 to
Prepare Tariffs on Grain.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Managers OF
Western railroads were advised to-day by
the interstate commerce commission that
the order reducing grain rates from the
Missouri river and points beyond was fur
Their suspended until October l. The
communication came in response 10 re-
O uest of the managers that later date
than September 10 be named to allow
the railroads ample time in which to
prepare their tariffs. In addition to sus-
pending the order for another fortnight,
the commission also gave the roads per-
mission to correct the error in its original
adjustment in rates in order to preserve
the old basis of dIffersntials on the Mis-
sissippi river business; accordingly the
rate on wheat TO St. Louis shall be four
teen cents instead of fifteen. The wheat
rate to Chicago Is unchanged from the
original figures to twenty cents. Rates
on corn will remain twelve cents to St.
Louis, and seventeen cents to Chicago.
The Rock Island and Alton will now wait
until October l before putting the new
reduced rates into effect in order that the
new tariff may be simultaneously adopted
by all interstate lines.

HARRISON READY FOR 1T.
The River and Harbor Appropriation Bili-An
Extra Session Unless Certain Pend
ing Measures are Acted Upon.

CREssoN SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. I5.-It has been
arranged that the river and harbor appropris-
ton bill shall be forwarded to the president i'm
mediately on being signed by the speaker Of the
house. The president is already familiar with
its provisions, having brought copy of il with
him to Cresson, together with q
report from the chief of the Engineers of
the army in regard to the conultion and
necessity OF various public Improvements pro-
vided Tor. 1t is, therefore. not likely that the
public will be kept in ignorance for many more
days in regard to that measure, and speculation
is about evenly divided an to its prospects. The
president and his private secretary, however,
are strictly non committsl on that point.
AN EXTRA SESSION PREDICTED.
There is every reason to believe that the
president is seriously considering the advisa-
bility of calling an extra session of congress 1t
is known that several prominent Republicans
have advised such course, with a view to an
earlier consideration of the Federal election
bill. Persons who have talked with
the president on the su ject will certainly re-
convene congress if certain pending measures in
which he takes great interest are not disposed
of at this session. These include the anti-lot-
terry bill, the supreme court bill and
labor bills now in the senate and po stall
shipping bill awaiting action of
the house. The president is known to be
specially interested in the passage of the cleo
tion bill and would probably feel justified in
calling an extra session for the consideration of
it and such others of the important measures
now pending as may not be disposed Of at this
session.

THE POPULATION.

The census bulletin of December u, gives
by the official count the population of the
United States, by states and territories for
the year 1890. The bulletin says: 1.-THE
population of the United States on June l,
1890, as shown by the final count of persons
and families, exclusive of white persons in
Indian territory, Indians on reservations
and Alaska, was 62, 622 $50; including these
persons the population will probably reach
in round nu mbers 63, oO0, 600. In 1850 the
population was 80, 155,7S3 The absolute
increase of the population in the ten years
intervening was IL. 466, 467, and the percent
age of increase was "a. Sc. In 1870 the pop
ulation was stated as IS, SIS, 81. According
to these figures the absolute increase in the
decade between 1870 and 1880 was Il, 597, :
4l2. and the percentage of increase was
300S.
Upon their face these figures show that
the populate has increased between 1880
and 1890 ,055 more than between 1870
and 1850, while the rate of increase has ap-
parentiy diminished from 300s to 24.s6 per
cent If these figures wer derived from
correct data, they would be Disappointing
Such reduction in the rate Of increase in
the face of the heavy immigration during
the past ten years would argue a diminu-

KEEPS CROAkINu.

A few days ago the Tribune asked: docs
anyone doubt what would follow were any
Saint to receive an order from the sovereign
power of this republic and another con-
trary order from the head of the Mormon
church?" This meant, of course, that the
Mormon would obey the head of the church
rather than the government
Yesterday morning the sheet gave a
striking proof of this charge against the
Mormons. 1t said:
When JOHN TAYLOR was president of the
church, he fairly drove the people into polygamy
and declared that no man could obtain full ex-
altation in the world to come who did not have
ct the same time from two to four living wives.
That was not all All Mormons were given to
understand that to be respected fully in their
church or to have any part in the counsel of the
church, they must enter that state.
Accepting for the moment the organs
last assertion as true, and bearing in mind
how few Mormons went into polygamy,
and it would seem that the command of the
head OF the church was not so potent as the
organ asserts. The position of the organ is
the more absurd from the fact that it daily
insinuates that the anti-polygamy mani
festo will not be complied with by the Nor
mon people notwithstanding its definite and
authoritative PRONUNCIATION by the president
of the church, and asks that they be dis
franchised because they may not comply.
The organ also asks: "Does Mr.. GAME
know of any Mormon who has ever been
unjustly convicted In this territory?'
This question would scarcely be more
ridiculous if the word "uniustly'' were
changed to ''iustly." A few days ago a
Mormon was convicted of perjury, because
he swore out warrant of arrest against
Liberal, who, he thought upon good
evidence, had voted Illegally. Some have
been convicted on segregated charges.
Hundreds have been found equally guilty,
no matter what the circums tances or con-
ditions were. The supreme court has re-
versed the decision of the Utah courts in
these matters again and again.
But these packed iuries are out of mate
rial on whichs to vent their prejudice
and the political plotters are becoming
sick because there are no more Mormons
| whom they can now devour. They now
rave for the Acknowledgement of their law
abiding superiors.
