New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-11-10

, Dollar wheat wasn't much of charm
last Tuesday. Make it $3.50, Mr.. Han
ma, and perhaps the results next year
may be more satisfactory. .~.s
Senator Wolcott will undoubtedly
continue to play the role of bye-and-
bye bimetallist. It's very satisfactory
role for a weak kneed man like Wolcott.
Only modesty forbids that ''great
statesman and lucid financial orator."
McCleary, from claiming the credit of
having saved the day in Ohio. Jadam
Bede is not so modest.
When next the government embarks
in the railroad business, it should be as
sole owaer. This furnishing of capital
isn't profitable unless accompanied with
right to share in the earnings.
The establishment of postal savings
banks will attract the attention of the
next congress-St. Peter Tribune.
But not to the extent that so merltor-
= ious measure deserves. Public build
ings and river and harbor appropriations
will receive far greater notice.
The Renyille Star wants to know
what's the matter with the next Repub-
lican state convention putting few
farmers on the ticket next year. Ger
tainly nothing that we know of. The
public surely have no objections, and as
tor Gibbs and his fellow farmers it does
MT seem that they are at all unwilling.
Jadam Bede says that there IS no
consolation for the bimetallists in the
Ohio result for the simply reason that a
host Of Republicans in that state didn't
deem it necessary to turn out and vote.
Now will Mr.. Bede explain why, with
Hanna's strong appeals and his vigorous
methods of campaigning, they didn't
o""',' it necessary.
Joseph threatens to
to dissolve LLC uU.1y a., rlO,ous Austrl-
an parliament and run the government
all by himself. A much better way, it
would seem, would be for the emperor
to take few lessons from Thomas B.
Reed and then enter the boisterous par
liament as its presiding officer. Such
move would not appear near SO car
like and autocratic.
Paris dispatches indicate that the
United States now has complete statis-
tics and information necessary to 90 to
war with Spain is perfect de-
scriptive list of every vessel Spain can
utilize for war; Having this knowledge,
comparison of relative strength, fol-
lowed by an actual test, ought to prove
interesting. But has the present admin
istration the backbone to tackle it?
In Washington 1t is conceded that Bry.
an and Towne had as much to do with
the outcome in Ohio as any other men
from outside states and both men are
given great credit for their effective work
in favor of silver. The Anoka Union
will undoubtedly refuse to believe this,
but, then. it is hard, we admit, for an
old, bald-headed chunk of brains like
Pease to understand how young man
like Towne can be anything but pig
my, not having been a steady reader of
the Union.
Some of Senator Nelson's friends, &C.
cording to the Ortonville Herald Star,
say that unless the public stops connect
ing his name with the alleged move to
make Gov. Clough the next United
States senator, he will be forced to act
ually see to it that Clough does succeed
Senator Davis. That's Nelson all through.
It's in line with the same politics that
tempted him to force himself t. see that
he succeeded Senator Washburn because
the public claimed that that's what he
intended to do all along.
The St. Paul Dispatch's political
writer expresses the opinion that John
Lind may not have chance to refuse
the fusion nomination for governor :
few months hence, and gives as his rea.
son that Judge CAVITY may conclude IL
become candidate. It wouldn't hur
the Dispatch writer in the least to be
come somewhat acquainted with Linz
and learn that he is not taking to him
self any worry over the action Of the op
position to the Republican party as re
CARDS himself. Judge Caaty will hav
the field to himself, as far as Mr.. Lind i
concerned, in aspiring for gubernatori.
