New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-07-12


General Eagan would have been better.
But Mark A. Hanna, the present in
cumbent, beats them all, and he will re-
main.
But the fact remains that nearly every
thing Pingree does is unconstitutional,
aud everything Alger does has either a
musty or ''trusty" smell.
The people of this great country can
never get at Alger until they can coax
HIM into running for some Office.
THE Mcintyre scheme of forming
milling trust has finally succeeded, at
least several of the big Minneapolis mills
have been gathered up by that cunning
promoter of trusts. The antitrust laws
Of Minnesota are no impeachment to Nc
Intyre's plans because he has gathered
up and muzzled the daily press of the
Twin Cities. You can hardly see any
thing wrong in a trust, such as organ
lied by Mcintyre, according to the daily
press. And the same daily press was a
few weeks ago up IN arms against trusts :;
it must have changed opinions rather
suddenly.
Louis F. Menage of Guaranty Loan
notorlety, after an absence of six years
in Guatemala and Mexico, returned to
Minneapolis and at once surrendered
himself to the authorities. He was ar
rail- ued before Judge Elliot upon three
charges and plead not guilty. The first
charge was grand larceny in the first de-
gree for the alleged misrepresentation of
$27O,333.77. Another charge was for the
same amount and the third one was for
only 100000. His bond was fixed at
$4,000 and he easily secured that
amount and was at once set at liberty.
The guaranty loan affair was the great
est swindle of the age, but time has GOV.
cred Ms tracks and softened the hearts
of many of those who, at the time, would
have made it warm for him had he given
them half chance, and he will probably
be cleared and made hero of.
The sensational preacher habit has got
as far south as Atlanta, Georgia, which
has an aggravated case, the preacher de-
mantiing from his pulpit that the Mayor
Of the city be impeachcd for drunken
ness and other faults.
In a lengthy article regarding Presi-
dent McKinley's outrageous measure as
to civil service reform the Pioneer Press
rabid administration organ is thus be-
wailing the approaching defeat of the
Il. O. P:
"That his recent order removing sew
eral thousand government appointments
from the operations of the civil service
law would be attacked by the whole op-
position press as a backing down from
his professions as friend of tie merit
system, is something which President
Mckinley no doubt expected and fol-
which he was fully prepared. But it Is
not at all likely that he realized the ex.
tent to which his order would offend
and dlshearten the greater number OF
the Republican journals of the country
to say nothing of the independent sheets
like the Indianapolis News, the Boston
Herald, the Philadelphia Ledger, the
Record of the same city, and the Kansas
City Star-all of which supported him
in the last campaign, and which have
since on the whole, given him cordial
support to his administration. It is safe
to say that in yielding as he did to the
solicitations of the spoilsmen, he has dis
appointed nine out Of every ten of the
journals which worked for his election
three years ago, and on whose continued
support he must largely depend for re-
election in 1900.
1t remains to be seen what compensa-
tory support the leaders of the spoilsmen
like Alger Tin whose department are in
cluded the lions share of the places
thrown open to their raids), Grosvenor,
Platt and Tanner, can offer to atone for
the alienation of most valuable indie
pendent lent element, and for the chilling of
