New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1897-03-24


office. There are others, and the reasons
are apparent.
DR.. Nansen, the explorer, has already
received over $150,000 from his books
and lectures. It wasn', such rainbow
chase after all, was 1t?
The latest from the seat of disturbance
is that Prince George is to be appointed
governor of Crete. Hurrah for Greece!
Pluck wins every time.
Carter Harrison is running for mayor
of Chicago, with free silver as the lead
ing issue. It is needless to say that
there are good many ears to the ground
in anxiety as to the result.
It is a matter of fact that Editor Hunt
of Mankato marched to Washington i'll
search of an Office. It is also matter
of fact that the gentleman marched
home again, hungry as ever.
Chairman Dingley's figuring on the
possibilities of his new bill as a revenue
raiser reminds us of the figuring that
we used to do prior to elections. The
figures didn't always agree with the re-
turns.
The president has given the Mexican
ministry to Powell Clayton of Arkan-
sas. VIM. Osborne of Massachusetts
becomes consul general to London and
John w. Gowdy of Indiana consul gen.
eral at Paris.
Henry G. Payne, the Wisconsin boss,
has declined the presidents offer of
foreign mission. Sympathy for Mime
sota's hungry ones, none of whom were
ever known to decline anything, must
have moved him.
The average politician will naturally
incline to listen to Corbett's wearisome
explanations of defeat with patience. He
knows how nice it is to tell the public
how it happened and promise to do bet
ter the next time.
Fitzslmmons' determination to retire
from the ring should be followed by In
gals AS reporter of prize-fg hts, his
first attempt was not conspicuous tri-
umph, neither from sensational nor
philosophical standpoint.
For vacillating policy and dropsical
incapacity the Minnesota legislature
compares favorably with the Cleveland
administration. 1t remains to be seen,
howe7 YER, whether or not the members
will come out of it as well-healed as
Grover did.
The great difference between the real
statesman and the pretender is that the
one Sees into the future while the other
regards only the present; the enc lives
BY the day and acts on expediency, the
other acts on enduring principles and
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
If the past is to be judged by the
present, who knows but what the pugi-
list of old 1--WE forget his name) who said
in tones of defiance, ''If there be three
among you dare face me on the bloody
sands, let 'em come on" may only have
been fighting with bis mouth.
Thirty thousand Greeks, living in
Constantinople under Turkish rule, are
reported t" be in readiness to join the
armies of their native land. No wonder
the hungry powers are moving slow.
Hasty action might prove indiscreet and
the task Of protecting the Turkish brute
unusually difficult. .....
Senator Davis delivered speech on
the question Of arbitration last week
that is said, by many OF the older mem
bers of the senate, to rank with the
speeches Of Webster and Clay. There is
nothing in this, however, to prevent that
Intellectual giant, David NJ. Clough,
from aspiring to be his successor.
The Review desires to call the atten-
ton of the Branded school of inventors
to the fact that the Metropolitan Street.
Railway Co. Of New York offers $4,000
900 for an improved and effective mo-
tive power. This is bona-fde propo-
ssition and will give the rotary engine
inventors a.chance to square themselves
with the public.
