New Ulm review., 1899-08-23

of our Savior, the Prince of Peace, and
daily we are filing their hearts with the
1 gospel of hate and revenge.
5. They tell US we are overcoming
the FiIipinos in order to send them tn
bible; instead we are giving them th
/ bayonet, 1ooting their homes and sending
! captured bibles home to our libraries.
They tell us congress must settle ev-
cry thing, and yet 100000 foreigners
are being subjugated by executive ac--
ton on the ground that conquest is in
evitable and legal.
The seeming absence of q policy is
mite plans to hold the islands at all haz-
ards, under theory of false consistency.
The Inconsistency Of words and acts de-
ceives no one. In all our negotiations
with the Fill pinos our government has
said: "surrender your aspirations for
independence and liberty and we will
give you what we-not you think to
be good for YOU"
Being requested by the depart ment of
| war to name to name two officers from
the volunteer regiments for positions in
the proposed volunteer regiment, Gov.
Lind submitted the following names:
Twelfth Minnesota Albert Stein
hauser, captain Company A; Perrin S.
Smith, captain Company II. Fourteenth
| Minnesota Alexander B. Coke, first
lieutenant quarter1naster; Eugene G..
Montfort, Company II. Fifteenth Min
nesota-Amasa S. ~Crossfeld, captain
Company E; William E. Edwards, first
lieutenant, Company I. ~-.
Regarding the 18th Minnesota, Gov.
Lind asks for time, until the regiment
arrives at San Francisco. He Will then
submit the names for commissioned Of
tcers from that regiment.
LAST week the Mckinley admlnistra-
tion sent out word that paper money,
(gold certifcates) would be issued by all
sub.treasuries, saying: "This decision is
reached in view of the necessity for
more currency in connection with the
movement of the crops.'
And this they do after they have in
induced the national banks to increase
their paper circulation during the last
month $273,192 and during the year
$19,S45,O00. Is it not strange that our
| government should refuse to coin our
silver into money while being compelled
| to run into debt at the rate of over $5,-
| 100000 during the month of July? The
increase of our debt during the year is
something like $lo0,Oo0,ooo. The COIN
age of silver money would enable the
| government to pay without increasing
the debt.
The work on the big iron bridge across
the Big Cottonwood has been delayed
| by the rains of last week, and will not
be finished at the expected time. While
driving out to the location, we found
the structure of a magnitude far beyond
our previous expectations. It is worth
while seeing the work in progress. En-
gines at work in dizzy height, men
busy around the engines and along the
structure, they all appearing dimunutive
to the viewer from level ground. 1t
might take month until the iron work
across the river is finished, connecting
with the abutment on the other side.
The grading is getting along satistactor-
lily, but at the present time it is impos-
lble to state when the new road will be
in operation. The end of the year 1899
or the beginning of 1900 will see the
road in working order, no doubt.
