New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1899-10-18

It was once said by great leader of
men in the United States that this gov
ernment cannot exist half slave and half
free, and the truth of that dlctum was
demonstrated by the war between the
states. But the republican party has ta-
ken an opposite view Of this matter and
is trying to establish slavery once more
on the territory owned by the United
States.
In Hawaii and the Philippines, Chi
nese contract labor, which is slavery, is
protected and approved by the McKin-
ley administration.
Laws that exist here forbidding the
importation of Chinese immigration have
been abrogated there and the crack of
the slavedriver's whip is heard under
the flag of liberty. ..-

impoverishlng them and forcing serf-
dom as real as that of the dark ages.
When laborers struck in Havana, the
American commander imprisoned the
leaders of the strike. That's freedom
for you under the stars and stripes!
Americans want no such system OF

he has done himself and the party much

have been distinctly chilly. To be sure
there is always certain amount Of Gu
riosity to see high public official.

pressing Its sincere satisfaction at the

partment on Its fortune In having at
its head such man as Mr.. Hay, real-
ly great public servant and one who

Proceeding to discuss the proclamation
1t says:
"The whole proclamation shows that
the proposed government will be on tho
lines Great Britain had adopted in In
dia and Egypt for the good of the In
habitants and the true interests OF the
Islands not merely an exploitation Of
the colonies to further the selfish inter-
ests Of the United States" iAe
The Spectator urges America to ap-
point only q moderate number Of whites
to administer the islands. but to give
them all the important posts with large
salaries, adopting Baron Cremers prin-
ciple In Egypt, so as to have "Ameri-
can heads and Filipino hands"

had qualified an outline of what he ex-

prove.
Briefly summarized this Is, that on
the evening OF the tragedy and shortly
before 1t occurred, SaXton rode to the
Althouse house on bicycle and Mrs.
George about the same time went to n
point near there on street car. The
assassin, and he says this will be proved
to be Mrs. George. fired two shots and
walked away; there was q cry as II for

threatened to kill Saxton but had long
planned how to do 1t and that she Ind
outlined her plans to another party. He
also says that he cares not what rela-
tions are shown to have existed be-
tween the two. that they were not such
as to have justified the crime on the
evening Of October G, 1898. In connec-
ton with these relations. he referred to
the accused as an adventures pure and

sltion. Under the treaty there could
be no provisional government and the
agreement under which 1t had been
recognized under peculiar and trying
circumstances for the protection OF life
and property, was Just as provisional as
the government itself. He had to
stand by the supreme court and ne
hoped that plan. Of action would be
decided upon for restoring peace to the
Islands without the Intervention OF an
armed force.
Agreed with the Admiral.
The British and American consuls
and naval officers agreed with the ad-
miral. The German consul having ac-
cepted the provisional government could
not receGe from that position under any
circumstances whatever until he had
Instructions from Berlin. Later on, at
ter the meeting, Rose put his views In
writing to the admiral and stated that
German warships could only act IL
German property or life were to be
protected against danger or In the case
OF the supreme court issuing warrant
1or arrest against individuals. On no
other ground could German warshlps
Interfere In Samoa and according to In
structions under which he acted there
would be no military Interference by
Germany.
I He also protested against issue OF the
proclamation by Admiral Kautz pend
ing instructions from the treaty powers;
also against the return to Apia Of the
deportcd Malletans. which was q men,
ace to the peace OF Samoa and he re-
minded the admiral that the Fake had
made no promise to help according to
the admiraps proclamation. He was
AFRAID that the admiral would do harm
by Its Issue and that already people
were afraid OF the rebels around Apia.
The admiral replied that he must be
governed In his actions by n continual
ton OF his duty and not by his fears;
that In his proclamation he meant ex-
actlY what he said and was not speaking
tlippantly; and what he had proclaimed
he would do. The fact that with all his
correspondence and protests to the ad-
miral. the German consul did not con-
slider It necessary to forward copy OF
his counter proclamation to the admiral
had not increased the good feeling be-
tween the admiral and consul. Never
before BY any official had the admiral
been treated In such an uncourteous
and insulting manner.
