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

IT appears that combination has
been entered into between Duluth, Ano
ka and Hastings for the purpose of secur-
ing legislation for the advancement Of
local interests. Duluth wants Normal
school and the other two places have
made up their minds that they want an
insane hospital each instead of fighting
one another on that question. And so
these cities have dubbed together to
''tickle' each other. This is an uni,oly
| alliance if there ever was one ard if the
Legislature permits itself to be "worked''
in that way it proves itself susceptible to
influences that shoald not prevail. In
the first place this state does not want
any more Normal schools. We have toe
many now. Neither do we need two in
sane hospitals and we think that thu
places in quest of these plums will find
before the session of the legislature j
over, that the state treasury is not opel
to be tapped by any little place or com
munity at will.

In A communication to The St. Paul
Pioneer Press, Mr.. Otis Staples, veter-
an lumberman, calls attention to the
enormous extravaganc involved in the
annual cutting down of young spruces
and frs for use as "Christmas tt ees." The
young growths used for this purpose
alone for one Christmas in Minnesota
would, according to his figures, if left
standing, preclude 37,5o0,00O feet Of
lumber in twenty-five years. And they
would be valuable not only for lumber,
but for paper pulp, the growing scarcity
of material for which is one of the rising
economic problems Of the times. Other
writer's in other states, have preceded Mr.
Staples in exposing the costliness Of the
Christmas tree fad, and have urged thai
some other method be adopted of bean
| tifying Christmas. As The Pioneer Press
j pertinently remarks, it is "a matter worthy
of attention. Farm Field and Stockman

The St! Paul Dispatch says that Gov.
Lind deserves, and will receive, much
credit for controlling his emotions of re-
sentiment and Indignation during the time
that elapsed between the day Manager
O'Brien made that insulting proposal
and the day when it was finally resented.
1t is not every man who could thus nurse
his wrath and look pleasant for two
weeks after having received a proposal
that made his blood run cold with right
eous shocks Of viltuous indignation
But Gov. Lind, even though slow to
wrath, shows that he is holy terror to
evil doors, once he gets a going. So look
out O'Brien, you're it.

JAS. S. O'BR1EN, of the State Prison
Board, evidently made a mistake when
he approached Gov. Lind with PROPOSE
lions OF corrupt political practice hop
ing to gain in the Governor an ally in
questionable political deals. Like the
fearless and independent man he is, Lind
promptly informed him that he would
have no dealings with him, and, what is
more, the Governor promptly removed
him from the State Prison Board on the
ground that a person with his concep.
ton of public duties was not fit to rep
resent the public in any position of trust
We like this exhibition Of honest back
bone on Lind's part and he will gail
friends and admirers by the score If HI
will use the same proceedings agains
other parties who seem to think tina
they are in public service not for TIN
good of the public, but to bleed tn
community they should serve.

A. B. ST1cKNEY, president of the Chi
cago, Great Western railroad has had a
bill introduced in the Legislature provld-
ing for heavy reduction of interest in
this state. He argues forcibly that all
interests, those that lend as well as those
that oorrow, would be benefited by a
change of that kind. Farming and other
business is not sufficiently profitable to
warrant investments in property on cap
ital borrowed at 6 or s per cent. A
lower rate would put all money at work
and better times would ensue.

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.

The following resolution regarding the
Philippines, passed recently by the
Massachusetts Republican state conven-
ton, without dissenting vote, shows
that the sentiment of the old Bay state
is true to liberty. as, indeed, everybody
might well suppose that it would be, and
is warning to the administration to
desist from its course of attcmpt,d sub
jugation in favor Of promise of liberty
to the struggling natives. Every one
knows that the moment such promise is
given the war will cease. We believe
that nearly all Vermont Republicans echo
the spirit of the Massachusetts resolu-
ton.
Under the treaty with Spain, the law of ma
lions put upon the United States the respon-
sibility for the peace and security of life and
property, the well being and the future gov.
eminent of the Philippine Islands; accepting
this responsibility, IT is our profound trust
that the present hostilities can be brought 10
an early termination, and that Congress
guided by wise and patriotic administra.
ton, will establish and maintain in those
islands, hitherto the home of tyrants, a gov
eminent as free, as liberal and as progressive
as our own.
