New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-11-08

to your noble nature and good behavior,
they are not to be believed, even for a
moment. The charges are as false as
the men who made them-as ibelous
as the authors are unprincipled and un-
grateful. The people of New Ulm have
not warned believers against coming
here at the risk of their lives; they have
not labored to destroy the churches; they
have not aimed to corrupt the minds of
newcomers and lead them astray. On
the contrary the men who are charged
with all those hideous crimes, minded
their own business; when it was desired
by the Catholics that hospital should
be built here, did anyone give anymore
literally than the very men whom the
serpents are now trying to- cover over
with slime and disgrace? When the Luth-
eran college was erected, didn't these
same men come forward like true citl-
zens, with the hope of helping the town
and their neighbors, and add their share
to the fund, required fer the build
ing's erection? When that elegant struc-
ture, the new Catholic church, was built,
weren't contributions gladly received and
as gladly given by these same terrors of
the early days? Is there any reason why
all this should be forgotten? Is there
any excuse, because one or two disgrun-
tied and strong headed citizens want re-
venge, that the hand that has rendered
aid and assistance should be treated as
you would treat dog? Does not one
good deed deserve another? Is it show
ing any degree of gratitude to kick one
who has helped you, merely to please a
few scheming politicians, who hate all
who do not agree with them? We ask
these questions of the people of New Ulm
| out of simple fairness. We do not be-
lieve they will endorse such contemplate
representation and such wilful lying.
They have known the men and women
who are being attacked so shamefully
for years; hand in hand they have worked
together in numerous enterprises; they
visited together; they gave to each others
cause literally; they would not believe
such stories then; we do not think they
will give them credence now.
And here's another point in the attack
upon these men that causes us to despair
for spark of manhood in the creatures
that inspired it, One by one, we are told
these old settlers must shake the dust of
their feet on the streets of New Ulm and
seek more comfortable quarters. Think
of that! To order them forth like a
pack Of Indians, who by lack of civiliza-
tion had lost their right to the land they
lived on. Is this Americanism? Or is
it only the brotherly love, of which our
ward politicians and their newspaper
supporters are so free to boast?
But if that is really the desire of the
enemies of those citizens, they will find
in them class who have practised stay.
ing qualities for nearly forty years. The
old men still have love for New Ulm
and all the howls a:ouC shaking the
dust from their feet will in all probabili-
ty be laughed at.
And now IN conclusion we wish to
say that insults never belittle the men
they are directed at. Facts alone make
convincing argument, wholesale lying
never.
Justlmagine those fellows who stopped
the Review this week, hustling around
to-day trying to borrow one to see
what's in it. All papers sold nm the
street for five cents.
The orator of the school board pro.
claimed defantly in recent meeting
that only Il man of education could have
written that anonymous letter to the ex-
president of the board. Wonder if that
is the reason why he doesn't suspect any
of his own class!
What splendid appointment the
Board of Education made in filing the
vacancy last evening. Search the wide
world over and you couldn't hit upon a
better selection. Why its just immense.
Such model man, so broad and ca art
able to all sides. And then such learn
ing and such wonderful experience in
school work. Why it just tickle4 Us
through and through.
