New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-10-20

There are twenty thousand newspa-
pers in the United States. About forty
per cent of them ought not to be pub
lished at all.-St. Paul Globe. -
How about the Globe? Is the editors
estimate of it's usefulness apt to jibe
with that of the public?
The1e are those who are mean enough
to assert that Henry George is not the
illogical" candidate in New York.-St.
Paul Globe. :
But all agree that he has the clever
faculty of making whole lot of New
York citizens think he is.
That pure and sanctifed relic of the
executive mansion, Benjamin F. Harri-
son, rises to remark that Gen. Tracy has
made a great personan sacrifice in &C.
cepting the nomination for mayor in
Greater, New York. To this the Boston
Transcript says: HE certainly has
done so. He has come periously near
to sacrificing his reputation"
If we are to have a Brown county
man for senator, Somerville would fill
the place as we'll as anyone. However,
Redwood county is entitled to the next
senator.-Lambe,ton Star.
How so? You furnished the last man
for that position, and, Notwithstanding
he held it for two sessions, he hasn't a
single act to his credit that rises to the
dignity of public service. If the rest of
your would-be statesmen are of the same
timber with him, may the good lord
spare us. We've had enough.
If Mr.. Low is elected, all the influence
of the great office of mayor will be used
to insist upon a citizens government.
The Republican party will be called up
on to .lisband.-Extract from Candidate
Tracy's speech in his own behalf.
If Mr.. Tracy speakes the truth, every
body, including Tracy himself, ought to
hope and work for Mr.. Lows election.
In good citizens government, lies the
hope of republic. Partisan govern
ment, carried to the extreme that it is in
New York and other large cities, is its
bane.
There will be no more republican
presidents in the United States il your
life or in mine, maybe, unless you elect
Benjamin F. Tracy.--Senator Thurstou
to the voters of New York.
Well, what If there isn't? II they are
to be IF type of the present incumbent,
the creation of bosses like Hanna, Quay
and Platt, we don't opine that the gov
erEment would 60 to the dogs for lack
of them; in fact we imagine that the
people could get along very comfortably
without them. Senator Thurston, in
giving voice to the idiotlc notion that
the star of the western empire is going
to pale simply because of failure to
keep this or that party organization in
power, only succeeds in making gilt
terlng fool of himself-a mark tor the
public laugh. If the defeat of Gen.
Tracy could in any way be the means of
eradicating Hannaism and Plattism from
American politics, the people of the ma
ton would have every reason to applaud
the wisdom of the voters of Greater
New York in bringing it about.
The Chicago platform has had its day
in court before the tribunal of last re-
sort. Must Democrats, to be loyal, adj
here to it forever. The idea is at vari-
ance with the whole theory of our form
of governments Boies of Iowa.
To admit the truth of this statement
by the once popular Iowa leader, would
'be, to admit that the people never make
mistakes and that majorities are never
in the wrong. Such has not been the
history of political movements in this
country and probably never will be-.
The people have time and again decided
in favor of protective policy, but Mr..
Boies was never known to accept their
decision as final, and there is no reason
why he should. Great political reforms
are not the work Of day, great political
issues are not necessarily determined by
the result of a single contest, nor is pro-
gress in government to be effected by &C
cepting the judgment Of the majority
as infallible. If Mr.. Boies thinks so he's
a bigger damphool than we ever dreamed
( of, Notwithstanding our estimate OF him
has never been Of the highest. No ques.
ton, it would be we'll for the Iowa sore.
