New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-06-09

No political cause is q righteous cause
that does not comprehend the salvation
OF the whole human VIM. II. Har-
vey.
The aristocracy Of manhood is good;
the aristocracy Of wealth. is bad. The
former promotes humanity, and the lat
ter vanity and sin. VIM. H. Harvey.
An Havana paper warns the United
States to beware of meddling with
SPANS domestic difficulties, lest Span
ish} patience should be exhausted and
the insults of a century wiped out in an
ocean Of American gore. It is apparent
that the people Of Havana are subject
to nightmares the same as other folks.
It is asserted in some quarters that
Ed. Weaver would make good COVER
nor. Can't agree with them. Ed. knows
too much; he is too much of a business
man; too independent. Clough certain
" makes good governor and no one
would have the hardihood to accuse
him of possessing any of the above
mentioned qualities.
It isn't at all likely that Hon. E. D.
French will be candidate for the state
senate Standardization Star.
That ought TO be true, Bro. Starr, if it
isn't. Ordinary discretion, it seems,
should prompt such course, for, as
Bill Nye once said, it isn't exactly safe
to fool with buzz-saw when it moveth
Alright. 1t was through the faithlessness
of former member in the treatment of
friends and promises that French ob
tanned his seat, and it will be for very
similar reasons that his services for
another term will in turn be unceremon-
iously dispensed with.
In an address at banquet of COM
merclal leaders in Philadelphia on We'd
nesday, President Mckinley said: "There
is no motive to make product if you
cannot find somebody to take it." Ex-
actly; but why could't you tell us that
last fall? = Why was it necessary to say
that the mere opening of mills would
bring prosperity? Why cover up the
evident truth that upon the consumers
ability to buy depends the mills
ability. to exist? Why ignore the fact
that demand is the first and chief essen
tial to healthy production-that the
latter follows upon the former as surely
as night succeeds to day.
A few weeks ago the governor of this
state appointed to all honorable judicial
position in Hennepin county one E. M.
Johnson, professional politician, whose
only claim to preferment, it seems, was
to be found in the fact that he had Civ
en- to the Repu blican party of this state
much of his time and to the Clough
wing in particular his active service and
attention. For this, of course, Clough
owed him something. It never occurred
to him, however, that johnson would
make much better oil inspector or sur
veyor of logs than judge, nor did the re-
quirements of the bench for a single
moment tax his attention. On the con-
trary, the only problem that presented
itself to his crude mind was to find a
place for Johnson-to pay debt as it
were-and as judgeshlp was the first
thing to offer itself, in keeping with the
services rendered, why johnson was
made judge. In doing this, to be sure,
the executive didn't do anything that
reflected particular credit upon himself,
but, as stated before, that wasn't what
he was after, and it isn't at all likely
that he cares d-n, Ito use language in
which the governor is wont to express
himself) whether the appointment pleas
es OR not. The public, if Disguised,
must therefore not be surprised.
There is an appointment of more re-

In this matter he has violated his oath
