WISE OLD TAN.

When Russell Sage, one of the Wall
street sages, celebrated his eighty-third
birthday few days ago, numerous peo-
pie called on him and in various inter-
views Mr.. Sage outlined an interesting
philosophy of life. One of his aphor-
isms was: -..~.
1 expect to have lot of more birth
days.
Here's the genial optimism that length
ems life. Thirteen years ago Mr.. Sage
passed the "three score and ten" limit
set by the psalmist. But since David's
day we are learning not to set limits
that the unconscious mind feels itself
impelled to live up to. It is a
good thing for the body to have
the mind formulate ideals for it..
To expect good many more birthdays
is the first step towards getting them,
Again Mr.. Sage says:
I have always found my pleasure in
my WORK.
You will never find a successful man
who is all the time protesting against
'the grind" The man who likes his
work puts himself into it and does it SO
we'll that he soon gets out Of whatever
grind there is in it and some other fel.
low falls heir to it. It is the parable Of
the ten talents over again.
Again Mr.. Sage says:
can't understand how any citizen OF
this country would become subject d
England.
When Goethe was tempted to emf
CRATE to America he gave the matter
much thought, but decided thus: Amer,
lea is here and now"
Again Mr.. Sage:
I believe in the freedom of the press
| The date of the man who does not be
lieve I'D the freedom of the press is be
| " 4
fore 1920.
Again:
The greatest menace to the prosperity
OF this country is the tendency to max,
fictitious values and to oyercapitaliz'
great corporations.
W holesale dishonesty is q menace tc
the commercial world as private dishon
lesty is to the business firm.
A wise old man is Uncle Sage. He j.
comfortably adjusted to his environment
It is safe to say he is letting the lambs
do his worrying for him. Minneapolis

It will call for the merest fraction ol
our strength, provided only we choose
to exert that strength. #, however, the
people let their representatives in con.
gress hamper the administration as they
did last winter when they refused to PM
the army upon q proper footing as to
size, permanence, and organization, then
the people have themselves to thank il
the war fingers with Difficulties and dan
gers increased.
Now, just think of any man capable
of getting off idiotic matter Of this kind
advising others not to grow hysterical
This sort of thing is not only hysteria;
it IS the hysteria Of the dangerous polit-
ical lunatic, frebrand and a blather-
skite. His calliope howl would suffice
TO wake the dead Of the bloody shirt era
from their long sleep.
What does all this violent rhodcmont-
ade amount to2 just this: That be-
cause the Democratic minority in con-
gress of last winter, having voted all the
money the imperialist crowd asked for,
having given its hearty sanction to the
war for the liberation of Cuba; having
held up the hands of the administration
in every laudable undertaking, and the
men whom they represented having en-
listed by the thousands in the ranks of
the Union army, that minority is now
to be traduced because it held the hand
of the imperialist coterie in the matter
of establishing a standing army. By
reason of that minority having so done,
the disgraceful incompetence, the shift
ing uncertainty, the falsehood and con-
cealment, and all the crime and suffer:
ing that have sprung from these things,
is, according to this wild ass Of the po-
litical prairies, to be charged up against
the Democrats in congress.
He tells us we need only to exert a
fraction of our strength in order to
bring peace to the Philippines. Why
have we not exerted it, Who has held
the hand of Mckinley or OF his advisers,
Hanna and Platt, of Otis or of Alger,
or of any of the rest of them. Why
have not the $4,000 men that Root is
now sending out not been sent out any
time since that army reorganization bill
became law last winter2 Is the Dem
ocratic minority in congress RESP oDsible,
too, for the outcry that is raised through
out the length and breadth Of the land,
and which has been echoed by every
soldier that has returned from the Phil
il pines, against Gen. Otis, and his senils
management of the campaign2
It is about time that this loud-mouthed
harlequin should be stripped of some of
his gay political attire and be revealed
to the people for what he is-a noisy,
political catspaw and mountebank.-St.
Paul Globe.

No one ever knows when the colonel
of the late rough riders is likely to
break out. He is like barrel organ.
He is worked by crank, and the crank
is usually in the hand of some astute
director of political monkeydom like
the iliustrious Platt. But the last
known outbreak of this vociferous per-
son is one of his worst. It presents him
in new role-that of warning the
world against his own chief character
istic. He cries aloud: ssBe not hys.
terical". Whcreupon he proceeds to
lapse into one of his wellknoWn fits Of
political hysteria, more prolonged and
more pitiful than. any to which he has
been subjected since his famous out
break at the Auditorium, Chicago, last
winter.
The burden of the sorrows of Platt's
Young Man is that the situation in the
Philippines, maudlin, week -kneed, de-
signed only for the benefit of pet con-
tractors and military nincompoops, is
all due to unreasoning Democratic OPP
position. Roosevelt specifies. Hele Is

New Ulm review., 1899-08-23

It is impossible to read the details of
the proceedings Of the Dreyfus court
martial without feeling of the most
profound sympathy for the unfortunate
victim of French madness or without a
feeling of intense Indignation toward the
authors of his sufferings, past as we'll as
present.
The cry wrung from the unfortunate
man is the cry of a soul driven to the
very limit Of human endurance. Even
if guilty he has suffered in full the pen
atty of his misdoing, when we consider
the utter absence of any harm accruing
to the French nation. A hundred-fold
more worthy of such punishment are the
leaders of tie plot which now exists
against the safety of the republic, and
of which this man is the piitful victim.
To any sensitive nature the processes of
French courts are the very refinement
of cruelty. TO those who understand
only the procedure OF courts convened
and acting under the English law sys-
tenn, the proceedings of a French court
are wholly inexplicable. How they can
be relied on successfully to do substan-
tial justice to any innocent man accused
of crime is a mystery in itself.
1t would be a humane and merciful
act If by any concerted action of outside
peoples the shocking farce could be
brought to a close. Infinitely better
would it be for poor Dreyfus could he
find rest in his grave, did he not leave
behind him those whom he loves and
by whom he is beloved Death has not
torments to equal those to which he has
been subjected. The exhibition of equal
torture applied to a dog would revolt
the soul of a savage.
The unanimous action of the members
Of the court-martial in refusing to grant
a stay of proceedings in view of the dis
ability of Dreyfus' leading counsel is of
the worst omen. It forbodes the worst
results to the country, as we'll as to the
prisoner. His conviction will mean that
justice is dead in France, and that the
enemies of the republic may consider
themselves encouraged in the reckless
courses which they have entered on.> It
means that the prevailing conspiracy
will gather renewed force, and that re-
sponsible government in France will
have to fight hard for it's existence in
the immediate future.
The heroism of this poor, despised
Jew reaches the sublime. No such man
could ever have essayed the role of a
traitor or spy. All the enemies he is
shown to have had in official life are al
ready branded as perjured, murderous
scoundrels. He bears himself with more
than the nobility of a martyr. Every
word and act of his since his reappear-
ance before the world is the word and
act of an honorable man. They may
drive the soul from his body by their
prosecutions; but they will never break
down the grand spirit of tie man. He
is indeed glorious type of race
schooled in persecution, and sustained
through centuries of adversely by the
noblest endowments vouchsated to the
human family.
No one ever knows when the colonel

" SECRETARY of war Root and the pres
ident have decided to permit Gen. Otis
to stay in Manila, and it is probable that
the war in the Philippines will be drag
ging on indefinitely. Gen. Miles may
be permitted to visit the scene of war
! but his orders would not be needed by
the Commanders in chief, Gen. Otis. The
department. of war has decided to send
: more troops to the Philippines, although
Gen. Otis has given out his "askase"
that 1000 men would be sufficient to
s& suppress the Fliplnos. While discred-
-, 1tlny Gen. OTIS sound judgment, the adj
ministration sees fit to~retain him in
command. Wait until the boys of the
18th Minnesota tell you what they think
of Gen. Otis, the administration and the
