New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-06-22

ton Of many state institutions; the state
admins u istration for disappointment Of oil
Inspector and surveyor general Of logs
The recent decisions Of the supreme
court IN behalf Of the people are com
mended and the election of senators by
direct vote Of the people is demanded.
Upon the question Of rates and freight
charges the platform says:
We call the attention of the people Of
Minnesota to thefact that the railway com
panies derive a larger annual aggregate
income from the charges LEVIED upon the
states industry and trade than the total
income of the farms from the sales of
the states entire grain product. We
charge that these excessive railway earn
ings are due to the unjust and exorbi-
tant charges for their transportation of
freight, and that they both cypress in
dustry and trade and retard the states
development. And we pledge our Ut
most efforts in every department of state
government to regulate and reduce these
oppressive charges by practical legisla-
ton of the nature of that defeated by
the last republican legislature. We make
this demand for the salvation and pros
perity of the great wheat producing in
dustry of the Minnesota and Red River
valleys, of the iron industry of our north
ern ranges, and of the general shipping
interests of the state as against the ag-
grandizement of favored centers to the
east.
Extortionate rates on grain in north
ern aud western Minnesota, nearly dou-
BILE those charged in neighboring states,
have driven away settlers, retarded de-
velopment and produced bankruptcy
where nature promised prosperity. We
demand that the rates charged by the
railroads operated by the two great iron
companies in St. Louis county shall be
reduced to a figure which will allow
shipment by independent mine owners.
Thousands of acres of rich iron lands
have been made worthless because of ex-
tortionate rates charged by these syndl-
Gates, and all competitors Of the two
great iron companies have been driven
from the field through the Indifference
or fundamentally OF republican admin
istration. --..
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1898-06-22

The platform earnestly calls the at
tentlon Of the people Of Minnesota to
the fact that the state is confronted with
one Of the most serious conditions in the
history Of this or any other common
wealth. Blessed BY nature with one Of
the richest and most extensive tracts Of
fertile soil, timber, and iron ore in the
world, q vast domain of this natural
wealth being given to the state for the
support Of its government and public
schools, the state now awakes to the
startling fact, that, after forty years Of
uninterrupted republican misrule, one
hale of its tillable area has been given to
favored railway companies, its state pine
lands have been plundered or frittcred
away for trifle of their value, the vast
stores Of ore in its two great iron ranges
have passed into the hands of two gi-
gantic foreign syndicates, and that po-
litical combination of these favored rail
ways, pine land thieves and iron ore syn
dlcates owns, controls and operates the
state government in nearly every branch
and today de6es the people to regain
possession Of their own. .. ....
It therefore insists upon the dethrone-
ment of this corrupt and powerful ma
chine, operating within the Republican
party, and calls upon every patriotic cit
izen, regardless of party, to join in the
common battle to this end, as a civic
duty in the interests of the states indus
try, trade labor, its common schools, the
ballot and its future stability and great
ness.
Other demands are for the restoration
to the state of all the valuable lands
and other resources taken from it by
deeds of fraud and crime, and for the just
and equal taxation of all mining, rail
way and all state and municipal fran
chise corporations.
The state railway commission is con-
demned as subservient instrument of
interested railway and elevator compan-
les, and, likewise the state labor COM
missioner as an officer who has prosti-
tuted his position for partisan purposes.
The bank examiner is called down for
permitting the operation of banking and
trust companies in fragrant violation Of,
law; the governor for withholding the
reports of such institutions from the
courts and the people; the auditor for
refusing to place upon the tax rolls the
deed of 100000 acres of swamp lands
selected by his predecessor and decided
to the Great Northern railway; the re-
publican officials for their attempt to
annul this deed and give this powerful
corporation the power to select for itself
from the state domain; the secretary Of
state for the extravaganza and looseness
which has characterized his administra-

Under the new revenue law those who

UNCLE SAM IN WAR.
There Are Five Great Wars Recorded
to His Glory.

Speaking OF war prompts the redec-
ton that Uncle Sam has been uni
formly successful every time he has APP
pealed to the sword.
In the 123 years of his existence he
has waged five wars, the war OF the
revolution, the war of 1872, the war
with the Barbary States, the Mexican
war and the war for the Union. The
various brushes he has had with the
Indians were mere incidents. In every
one OF these wars the Stars and Stripes
have been triumphant. In the war
with the Barbary States Uncle Sam
was long way from the base OF sup
plies, and the Barbary States were
backed by the moral support OF Great
Britain and yet Uncle Sam cleaned up
those pirates so thoroughly that the
Mediterranean Sea became as free
from their attacks as is one OF the in
land seas. The war OF the revolution
and the war Of 1872 were fought against
tremendous odds, and yet the United
States won. In the same period, or
since the beginning Of the United
States independence, England has car
ried on six wars, two OF which, that OF
the colonial and the war OF 1912, were
lost BY her. France lost two wars in
the same period, the war with the al
lied Powers and the Prussian
war. Prussia, out OF FIVE wars In that
period, lost two, Austria lost three.
Russia two and Spain every war she
undertook, except In the 10 years war
In Cuba, which she never admitted was
anything more than an insurrection,
and which she quelled only by false
promises.
Uncle Sam is not likely to break his
record Of success In the impending
brush, II the brush comes.-Ex.

OVATION TO GENERAL LEE.
Remarkable Demonstration In the Nation.
al Capital-Great Crowds Greet Him.

| WASHINGTON, April 12.-The ovation
that has followed Consul-General Fitz-
hugh Lee since he set foot on American
soil on his return from Havana, culmi-
mated tonight in Washington in what
was in many ways one Of the most re-
markable demonstrations the city has
ever seen. From the moment he alight-
ed in the railroad station in the after
noon, he was surrounded by cheering
crowd that followed him to the State
department and the spectacle OF the
army and navy officers and Government
employees cheering outside the very
door OF the Secretary Of State was
wholly unprecedented in the history
Of the State department. At night the
city turned out in thousands when the
serenade was given Gen. Lee at his
hotel, and the multitude stood for hours
in the streets waiting for glimpse OF
him.
At 8 o'clock 5000 people serenaded
him at the Shoreham hotel, and In re-
spouse for 9 speech General Lee said:
"After all the speeches / have been
forced to make in the past two days, I
can hardly hope TO make myself heard
over this great gathering. / can only
assure you such a great demonstration
seems TO me out Of all proportion to the
simple fact Of my humble presence
here, and ! am frank to say don't see
that deserve 1t, having only tried to
do my duty as an American where cir
cumstances placed me.n
The crowd broke out afresh, and
there we're yells, THAT'S it," "That's
what you did," General Lee continued:
II have to thank you most heartily
for this splendid Endorsement Of my
course. 1t is thing that can hardly
come to man more than once in life
time, and it moves me more than can
put In words"
"You can act pretty quick" cried
man in the crowd, and then some one
yelled, "War, fightr' and the cheering
drowned everything else.
II have not come to talk war; con-
tinued General Lee, "but IL war comes,
in few days, or in few years, the
present crisis has proved that It will
lind us united people, and the only
contest will be as to who can carry the
lag farthest and fastest.
ssThcre is one thing, in conclusion.
want to thank my good New York
riends who have come SO promptly TO

he has been in the past, TO stand by

WAITING!

Every nook and corner OF the .coun-
try to-day is like q great army resting
on its arms. Every eye is on the
alert for the dash of courier with or
ders, "To arms, TO armsr' and every
ear is turned to catch the sound Of the
signal qua for battle. The suspense
is becoming terrible. What is done
must be done within the next few
hours. Congress will put itself on rec
ord to-day.
In the meantime every preparation
is being perfected. Troops are being
modified, Our Flying Squadron is
sailing to Southern waters, our an
chored battleships are rocking under
the pressure Of heavy steam, Fitz Lee
has reached Washington and told his
story Of Cuba's wrong and Cuba's suf-
ferings, the Senators and Congress
men have delivered themselves Of
their impassioned oratory, and there
seems to be absolutely nothing now to
look for but the coming of the cour-
Ter and the sound of the signal gun.
Wait! II the wires do not bring the
news OF conflict before the church
bells call you to worship on the peace
full Sabbath day, surely you will hear Of
war before THE News greets you next
week.
