New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-03-10

Six thousand people attended church
in Washington Sunday in order to catch
a glimpse Of President Mckinley. The
minister ought to busy himself looking
up more such attractions.

Senator Kuatvold has bill before the
senate, providing for 81 900 saloon Ii
cense In all the cities of the state having
less than 10000 population. There is
little danger that the bill will become a
law and there is just as little reason why
it should. 49,, ...- .-s',27N
Mr.. Hanna says he accepted the Ohio
senatorsh1p only for the sake of being of
service to his country. tits matter OF
general knowledge, however, that he
didn't wait to be Informed by the coun-
try as to whether it desired his services
or not.
Prof. Juan Contrero, a Mexican, has
got so he can predict earthquakes. This
is an advance in science that is not at
all comforting. People really have no
desire to know when the earth is going
to open up and leave them in a quanda-
ry as to where they're going or what
they're going to do. Ignorance in such
instances is bliss.
It is estimated that it costs at least
$1O,O00,OO0 to receive and count the
votes at general election held in this
country. Add to this the expenses of
campaign committees aud candidates,
the universal worry and excitement, the
improbability of improvement, and it
might reasonably be asked if it is worth
the while. Wouldn't it be just as we'll
it if were little longer between drinks?
The chief AMI salient section of the
new presidents inaugural address was
that in which he pledged the new admin
istration to put an end to treasury de-
fcits "by the restoration of that protect
i've legislation which has always been
the firmest prop of tie treasury" Be-
You'd this he suggests 10 particular po-
Icy, and in touching upon the financial
question merely promises adherence to
the gold standard until international
bimetallism can be secured.
The New YORK Sun gives, as the ten
American women who will live longest
in history, the following: Martha WASH

cher Stowe and Lucretia Mott. Rather
poor consolation for the latter-day wo-
men who are trying to make themselves
famous by dabbling in politics, adop-
ting the professions of men, marry
ing foreign counts or giving $5O0,000
balls.
Senator Theden's bill to regulate de-
partment stores, by means of a graduated
tax, depending, in it's severity, upon the
number of lines handled, deserves to be-
come a law. The measure, if passed in
its present form, can work no harm to
country dealers, and in the larger cities
it will be the means of destroying mo,
nopoly in trade. The department store
is trust of the worst variety. Its bene.
fits are by no means commensurate with
the evil that it works. "Greatest gooj
to the create st number" is the only de.
Tense that any mono poly can set up, and
upon that ground the department store
cannot stand. 1t cripples other legiti'
mate enterprises and in the end works
general ruin. 1t does not act upon the
principle of live and let live. 1t enrich
es the few while impovcrishing the many
1t brushes out the small dealer, the life
and stability of community, and cur
tails employment. Its success is the
public's misfortune. Society has IA RICH,
to protect itself against such evil and
useless Capitalization. 49,. r.
