New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-08-02

A PROCLAMATION was issued by the
president a short time ago, thanking the
soldiers in the Philippines for their
"willing services" after their term of en-
listment had expired. AS it is general
Iy believed by the public and to a great
extent confirmed by the volunteers, the
latters services were not rendered so
willingly as stated in the proclamation.
The volunteers were in the Philippines
and had, to stay, nolens, volens, as trans
ports could not be had in proper time.
The 18th regiment will soon return.
It is now doing duty III the front ranks,
although it had been decided that the
regiment should be mustered out at once.
AS it is, the proclamation of the presi-
dent sounds somewhat ironlcal or rather
cynical as the remaining of the volun-
teers in the Philippines was BY no means
voluntary. It would have been proper
to praise the heroism manifested under
the most trying conditions, although
forced upon the volunteers by the de.
partment Of war. It Is limited that the
volunteers will On their return be re-
warded by medals cast for their gloriti-
cation of the victories over the Filipinos
and this will certainly cause rejoicing

Unless tie unexpected happens, con-
gress will not be- assembled in extra
session by President Mckinley. The
president appears to be satisfied that
little if anything could be accomplished
by having the seth congress assembled
before the time of its regular meeting in
December next. President Mckinley,
when he left for Lake Champlain, feat
certain, it is. said, that he wouldn't be
compelled to return to Washington to
remain for any length Of time before
Nov. /. This is evidence that he has
given up the idea that an extra session
of congress is necessary.

The unexpected has happened last
Wednesday when the state warehouse
and railroad commission re-appointed
Clausen chief grain inspector, Judge
Mills republican and Geo. Becker an
alleged democrat voting for him, while
Ringdahl, populist voted for, ex-senator
Reishus, the candidate favored by Gov.
Lind. Naturally the governor is in
censed at this appointment and it is said
has submitted 81 formal protest. The
voters of this state will side with him
as the state grain department under
Cleusen has for years been run as po-
litlcal machine. The investigation in
stituted by the last Legislature, and con-
Quoted by d strictly republican COM
mittee resulted not very favOrably to
Clauscn and his methods and his reap
pointmcut is therefore an injustice to the
voters Of the state.

ton, and will, 1t is hoped, remedy the
evils grown Out Of Ayers mismanage-

Mr.. Root is a lawyer and is said not
to have any military experience. 1twas
the intention of President Mckinley to
place az attorney at the head Of the de-
partment of war, owing to the difficult
ties likely to arise out Of our new colon
ial possessions to which the Philippine
islands may soon be added. Whether
Mr.. Root is equal to the emergency re-
mains to be seen, at least he can be no in
ferior to the decapitated Alger. By rid
ding himself, with the sanction Of the
president) Of such membranes as Otis,
Corhin ct. al, he may achieve great re-
suits and by ending this useless slaugh-
ter in the Philippines he will forever de-
serve the gratitude Of the American peo-
pie.
The withdrawal of the volunteers and
the enlisting Of new army will be
pushed vigorously and at the end of the
rainy season in the Philippines energet-
ic measures will be in progress to sub
due the refractory islanders. With our
superior forces it should be comparative
ly easy to attain this result
The selection of MIR. Root will no
doubt prove satisfactory to all, as Boss
Plat has given his approval.

PROSPERITY has taken such rapid
strides all over this continent, that the
masses of the people are unable to no.
tice it or to catch up with it. Such are
the beneficial effects of this prosperity
that the masses can't stand it any long
er. The employees of the street railroads
in various cities, the miners in nearly all
of the coal districts and workingmen ev-
erywhere are on strike because-they
can't stand prosperity, so say the pros
perity organs. .....
While the great corporations, the
trusts, are crowding out competition,
they at the same time reduce the num-
Der of their employees and reduce the
wages of those retaining their positions.
The strike of the above mentioned. en-
ployes and workingmen was caused
by dire necessity and the street railway
magnates saw fit to accede to the de-
mands. The men went to work at once
and found to their surprise that the mag
mates never intended to fulfill their
promises, hence another strike ensued.
eve have nothing to arbitrate", say the
magnates when arbitration was suggest
ed and Infatuated at this decision, worthy
of an autocrat like the car of Russia,
the strikers resorted to violence. This
is where they erred, this is actually un-
pardonable and the guilty parties should
be punished to the full extent of the
law. Violence never should be resorted
to, even if the injustice is 50 apparent as

incidentally the laundering war de-
partment has given the whole snap away
regarding the intentions of the admins
tration in the affairs of Cuba. Census
director Merriam has been instructed to
supervise the census of Cuba. The cen.
sus act provides for taking the census of
the United States, and no other country
is specified. Mr.. Mckinley evidently
believes that Cuba is already a part Of
the United States. The question is, when
did Cuba become part and parcel of this
country and where is the congressional
authority for its annexation2-St. Paul

among the boys, who had risked their
lives and health in order to please few
imperialistic leaders.
The presidents proclamation admits
that the volunteers were entitled to their
honorable discharge at the time of the
ratification Of the peace treaty with
Spain, and consequently they were forced
to do duty against the Filipinos against
their will. This admission was not made
at the time when the slaughter of the
Filipinos was begun, and as Gen. Otis
expected to subdue the natives with the
forces at his command, reserve was
not deemed necessary by our great war
lord. A new army is to be raised now
and therefore the volunteers have
chance to be discharged.
The return of the 18th Minnesota will
give ample chance to verify the reports
about the condition in the Philippine
Islands, and the regiment may be ex-
pected home sometime in September.

REGARDING Elihu Root, the new Sec
rotary of war, an exchange has the fol-
lowing to say He is big corporation
lawyer of New York City who, in 1873,
defended Boss Tweed, and in nearly all
the great cases with which he has been
identified he has been on the side of the
millions as against what the people re-
garded essential to the public welfare.
He has had no experience in warfare.
In the recent street car employees trou-
bic in New York City Root advised the
street railway company not to obey the
ten-hour day law saying that the COM
pany could not be punished for working
the men longer hours than the state law
stipulated. In 1892 the people of Mass
achusetts tried to have the operations
of the whiskey trust declared illegal un-
der the Sherman antitrust law. Root
was the attorney for the trust. McKin-
ley is no doubt getting ready for the
great antitrust campaign of next year!

Up to a few days ago the organs OPP
posed to Gov. Lind and his honest adj
ministration Of the states affair were
wroth on account of Bank Examiner
Pope's procedure IN closing the Savings
Bank of St. Panl. They are silent now,
as an investigation has disclosed facts
fully justifying~ Mr.. Pope's action sane
toned by Gov. Lind. 1t is now possible
that the deposltors in that defunct bank
ing institution will receive Is per cent.
of their deposits while a delay, as has
been the custom under Examiner Ken
yon and Gcv. Clough would have &C
caused a greater loss to those concerned.
THE unreserved approval given our
administration by the press OF England,
the singular unanim1ty existing between
our imperialists and those of England
has been somewhat shaken and disturbed
by this cruel statement in the St. James
Gazette Of London:
''The great American people have
been hoodwinked by it's generals and its
administration, who have kept up ser
les Of suppressions of the truth and sug-
gestions of the false with Russian lnge-
unity and thoroughness."
A speedy subjugation of the Filipinos
will tend to redeem ourselves from the
ludicrous position We are now occupy
ing in the opinion of our English cousin
and the other foreign powers.

soon his barber came in, and again the
congressman offered to retire.
