Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
Of knowledge Of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt TO demonetize silver as money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable Of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue Of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-haf, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it SO is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
Of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

The Window Smasher.

For years there has been chased from
one town to another about this state a
strange woman known as Maria Hicks,
or the "Window Smasher.'' She has
been an inmate Of all kinds of jails and
asylums and last week she turned up in
St. Paul, where she was interviewed by
a reporter.
II prefer plate glass windows, you
bet" she said. "a person would be a
fool to prefer smashing ordinary win
dows.''
"Why do you smash windows?"
ooh, [ see them, and just smash them.
| think well, smash them.'
''Do you smash windows when you
are sober2"
'sNo, | don't. You know I am an
inebriate, and use morphine, and then
can't help smashing something. I like
to smash car windows, and sometime.
smash them when sober if hear people
talk about window smasher.'"

TROUBLES FOR BRANDED
A St. Charles Inventor is After him Ia
the Extent of SIS.

The Sleepy Eye Dispatch issued an
extra last week devoted to crushing
Grant Brambel. In this article it is al
legged that Brambel secured $15 from a
St. Charles inventor named Otto Oleson,
promising to put Oleson's patent fifth
wheel before monied interests in Eng
land, with whom Brambel said he was
we'll acquainted. He told Oleson, under
date of June 18th, that he was about to
sail for that country. Oleson now al
leges he cannot get his SIS back. For
the SIS, with which 'to pay board while
working up the matter Of sale" of OLE
sons patent, Brambel was to sell the
fifth-wheel patent for some big sum.

julius Guetling, an aged ana we'll
known resident of this city, died early
Saturday morning, after an illness last.
ing from three to four weeks. Death
was caused by complication of troub-
les and undoubtedly fastened by the
mans extreme old age, Mr.. Guetling
was born in Berlin on the 22nd Of Dec. J,
1922, ard was accordingly in his eighty
fifth year. In 1853 he came to America
and followed his trade, that of carpenter
and cabinet maker, for three years in the
city Of New York. Before leaving the
city he was married to. the woman who
survives him and in 1856 they moved to-
gether to what IS now the city of New
Ulm, then only a site with two or three
buildings. Mr.. Guetling went through
all the horrors of the Indian massacre
and early in the battle was severely
wounded, his eyesight being partially
and permanently affected. After the
outbreak he ment to Chicago and lived
there for two years. Returning to New
Ulm again, he quietly followed his trade
and lived life of modest retirement.
He leaves no children of his own bu t
several adopted ones. Mrs. Guetling
also survives him. The funeral was he Id
Monday afternoon from the Lutheran
church.

liable for s.an abuse Of its power shall
be as strictly guarded as the power It
self.
Another consideration for the jury is
that if unrestrained, if the press is al
lowed to villify and abuse at liberty ev-
cry candidate for Office, the sensiti ye
man, and all honest men, who regard
their reputation higher than any posi-
ton, will not seek office. If this is to be
true, let US establish once for all the
principle that only the hardened and
calloused shall be elected to office; only
the yenal shall be our public servants,
only the vitiated and depraved charac-
ters, who care nothing for their reputa-
tion or standing in the community, shall
be honored by us IN our elections.
Wonder if the managers of newspa-
pers and the writers on newspapers fully
realize the effect of their publications.
I have sometimes wished that after writ
ing some delectable morsel, or getting
up in newspaper parlance, ga hot roast, .
suited to the appetite of the writer, that
he could follow the carrier to see the ef-
feet of what he has written on the fami-
ly or the person spoken about. May
be child, who until then regarded his
father as the highest type of man; per-
haps wife, loving and venerating her
husband; perhaps a doting mother, watch
ing with anxious eye the career of her
boy, reads the article, and I have thought
if they would appreciate this tremendous
lpower Of the press, which they WELD in
common with other powers, they would
learn to temper justice with mercy.
We have proved by an overwhelming
array of witnesses that the speech deliv.
cred by Mr.. Lind at Minneapolis was
consistent with his reputation, with bis
life and conduct. As member cf con
! gress, as a lecturer. as a citizen of New
Ulm, as a lawyer il the courts of thi.
state, no higher tribute can be paid to the
man than to say that the sentiments there
expressed are those he holds and which
he delivered before the Lutheran Svnoa
composed exclusively of one religious
sect, when he preached the broad Chris
1ian doctrine of the fatherhood of Goo
and the brotherhood of man.
| A publication of the sort complained
of here tends to arouse religious strife
and bitterness, to set one sect agalns
another. This is what the plaintiff SC
bravely set his face against in the ad
dress delivered by him in Minneapolis
This has been the. teaching of his lif,
and you by rendering verdict for the
plaintiff in this action will emphasize
the doctrine of the universal fatherhooe
of God and the brotherhood of man.

DEATHS SAD HARVEST,
It Removes Several Well-known PEOPLE
and Causes General Sorrow.

When it was reported two weeks ago
that Mrs. VIM. Koch was seriously ill,
her many New Ulm friends became So
licitous for her welfare; and when it was
announced on Sunday that she had ceased
to live grief and regret took possession
of all. Few deaths, if any, in recent
years have affected the public more
deeply. General appreciation of her
worth and realization of the loss that
her death inaicts upon the husband and
family-these are the causes that. t.promp-
ted such universal sorrow throughout
the community, and it is but simple
truth to say that the feeling is not for a
day only. Mrs. Koch was noble wom-
an. In her home she was true mother
and wife; in social circles, valuable
and highly esteemed member. To the
Ladies' Society of the Turnverein she
has rendered much unselfish service and
and as its president devoted a great deal
of her time and attention.
The deceased was daughter of Cn.s.
Wagner of this city and was born in Co.
lumbus, Ohio, on the 9TH of April, 1854.
She, was married to Mr. Koch on the
24th Of May, 1873, and became the moth
er Of eight children, five of whom are
still living.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
from Turner Hall, Albert Steinhauser
delivering the address. Out of respect,
the members will attend in body.
The death Of Mrs. Mary sauer oc-
CURED at her Broadway home on We'd

disease from which she had been suffer

lady Of sixfy-slx years and was widow

IN New Ulm about. ten years ago, nov

had resided prior 70 the massacre. Tie,

with this life; that the parent bids fare
we'll to his child at the grave side; that
the child who loses his parent loses him
forever; that the grave hath It's victor
les; that death hath its sting; that we
are of those described by the Apostle
Paul as without hope. But it is not the
law, nor will it be claimed to be the
law that the reviler of the teachings of
Jesus Christ, the scoffer of Christianity
is not guilty of disgraceful acts, which
lessons him in the esteem of all good
men, and to charge man as being such
is llbelous.
The power of the press has been elo-
quently described by the counsel for the
defense and yet his eloquence fails to
give more than an inkling of its tremen-
dous power, and because it's liberty is
guaranteed by the constitution it should
be more than careful to see that human
rights are not crushed out by the very
power OF which it boasts. The press,
which the counsel describes as the only
avenue through which the people may
become acquainted with one who is a
candidate for high office, announces that
its mission is to give true and accurate
information to the people. It says to
people: 81 Will investigate. the charac-
ter and attainments of the candidate and
give you honestly and truthfully the re.
suit of my Investigations. As between
the press and the people, therefore, de
finite relation exists. The press stands
towards the people in the position of at.
torney towards his client, doctor to.

penitent, and because of its position, be.
