New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-08-25

the only silver producing countries Of
the world, do not combine together and
say: Not an ounce of silver will be
mined hereafter until the white metal is:
given an honorable recognition by the
gold countries Mexico, in spite of ev-
cry possible opposition that can possibly
be thrown in the way Of silver, has i'm
proved, is improving and will improve
in many ways that will show that silver
has not lost its merit and It's virtue.''
"Had I my way" adds Mr.. Crittenden,
Il Iwould tear down every, custom-house
along the north side of the Rio Grande
river, permitting everything to come in
free, assisting in that way to build up
that splendid southern republic, which
is, and ever will remain, ward to this
government, over which the Monroe
doctrine will extend It's generous WINGS"
The Westminster Gazette comments
as follows on the possibility of John
Sherman stepping from the cabinet
back into the senate:
'Some 1nnocents may clj ct that if
Sherman is too senile to hol,, .iiice, he
must be too senile for the senate, but as
a matter of fact no one has yet estimated
how Incompetent man must be before
the senate is closed to him. In this he
shares the advantage of the house OF
lords" q "
In conclusion, the Westminster Ca
zette remarks: =. aa.aE s
"We are rather sorry if Secretary Sher-
man is to be superseded, as in his own
rough way he expresses phase of Amer
ican feeling which it is important for
us to know"
The Chicago Record argues against
too long terms for justices in the follow
ing: -a-s. ..
With all due honor and respect to
| venerable justices, it may be suggested
that a man who passes the age of so is
rarely fitted to discharge the duties of
an onerous and exacting position. In
general man reaches the period of his
best endeavor between the ages of 40
and As. At 80 his mind lacks in fresh
ness, in grasp and in that power of cool
judgment which is the prime requisite
Of q judge. It may be suggested to
some of the justices of the Supreme
bench that If they we're to establish the
precedent of retiring when they begin to
feel The burdens of Office too heavily, in
stead of establishing records for mere
length of service, they would gain y
higher glory and be more certain Of
permanent honor and respect.
Tie Republican majority in congress
not only voted for discrimination in IA
vor of one citizen over another, but in
favor Of an oppressive monopoly over
all citizens. Instead Of protecting the
people from spoilation it grants TO the
despoiler Of the people fresh opportuni-
ties for spoilaton.
When the people see the power Of the
government thus abused to turn them
over to the spollation Of monster mo-
nopoly, is there cause for wonder that
profound discomfort agitates them2
When, just as the country is emerging
from q period Of distress, the people wee
millions legislated by congress into the
pockets Of rich monopoli lists, is itsstrange
THAT millions feel the sting Of inlustice2
Louis Republic.
Senator PETER addressed m1dd dle-of-
Ithe-road Populist convention in Iowa
Thursday and said
s'H recent discoveries Of fresh gold
mines should prove to be as valuable q
present appearances indicate, the silver
lqnest1on may soon be wholly eliminated
Ifrom republican discussions, except, per-
haps, as to those persons whose iEdivid-
Iual interests are at stake. Silver repub-
Ilicans want more metallic money, and
