New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1900-09-12


In recent issue the Minneapolis
Journal deliberately casts slur upon
the soldiers in the Philippines, making
light of the dangers to which they are
exposed. 1t matters little, however, to
the mothers of the country that statis-
tics show that their boys would have
theoretically been in greater danger had
they sought employment as railroad
brakemen instead of periodically ans
wering the call of their country, mistak-
EN- and unnecessary though that call may
have been It can be but cold comfort
to the relatives and friends of Capt.
Steinhauser to be told that he might pos
slbly have lost both legs and an arm or
two if he had gone firing locomotive
instead of chasing Tagals in the Philip
pines! There is no question but that
the administration stands in need of an
excuse, but 1t will require something
more than statistics to convince the peo-
pie that our soldier boys went to the
Philippines for their personal safety.

With the opening Of the school ysar
there again comes up that question Of
text books, 8 question which viii never
be settled right until the free text book
system is adopted By the city. a certain
gentleman who has recently moved here
from another city informs the Stroller
that the expenae incurred for books il
transferring one pupil from his former
school to this WAS very nearly s., 9 pref
| II heavy tax unless one is pretty well
fixed.
TO the average person it also appears
that there should be Aa uniform system
throughout the state SO that the pupil
coming from another school would not
be subjected to q complete change Of
text books. Against the theory Of .
uniform system some prominent educa-
tors urge that it is not practical and
would prove very unsatisfactory. Possl-
bly, so, but it does seem as if there could
really be nothing more unsatisfactory
than the present way Of doing business.
The big state fair is over and done
with, and I want to ask of the manage
ment if it is absolutely necessary for
them to be a party to all the various
skin games and fakes which are permit
ted on the grounds under the guise of
amusements. Year after year the same
kick has been made, and year after year
the management has promised that
''next year" nothing of the kind should
be permitted. Of course the people who
visit the fair, after they have finished in
speeding the cows, pigs and pumpkins,
want some sort Of entertainment, but
not let them be provided with something

en- the most hardened hayseed and the
public is really firing of being swindled
for the safe of the few dollars paid by
these gauzy faxes to the management of
the fair for the privilege.
After a monumental bluff about .ak-
ing 1t to the courts three of the leading
railroads of the state have accepted the
decision of the state railway commission
in the matter of granting equality of
rates to the smaller cities of Che state.
1t will be remembered that this is the
matter in which it was charged that
Governor Lind had instituted proceed.
ings from purely political motives, and
it was even claimed in certain quarters
that call the governor wanted was a
rake off from the railroad companies"
1t seems, however, that the governor was
right, and the fact that three out of five
of the railways most directly interested
have abandoned their attack and acceed-
ed to the commissions demand is suf-
fcient evidence. This concession made
by the Omaha, the Northwestern and
the Milwaukee and St. Paul companies
is most important one and will tend
to encourage and build up large class
of industries in the smaller cities of the
state hitherto impractical by reason of
the discrimination IN rates in favor of
St. Paul and Minneapolis. There is lit
tie question but that the other roads
affected by the order will be compelled
in very short time to fall in line Score
another for the business-like administra-
ton of John Lind.

BILE that they, apparently intelligent and
reputable citizens, have deliberately en-
tered into conspiracy to accomplish
the overthrow of the republic and bring
rum to its commercial interests? The
answer would be most emphatic
No! And yet these are just exactly
the charges that are being made by the
republican press and republican spell

DISCIPLINE TO BE REVISED.
New York MethOdists Propose to Elm
mate the Clause Prohibiting Dane
ing and Card Playing.

New York, April 11.-If the general
conference of the Methodist church
adopts the suggestions made by the
New York conference sitting in this
city and the New York East confer
ence, in session in Danbury, Conn,
| members of the sect may dance, play
cards or go to the theaters without
breaking any of the prescribed rules
of conduct.
This does not mean that these
worldly pleasures are approved of by
Methodists, but the proposition is
made to revise the Book of Discipline
so that the amusements frowned
upon by the church will not be spec
flied.
At the Danbury conference Prof
Rice of Wesleyan University spoke
very plainly. He said
"rhe attempt to legislate evil out
OF the Methodist church has proved
an evil in itself worse than that which
it tries to prohibit. Personally l am
opposed to card playing, theater
going and dancing, but | think it is
a sad mistake to have such explicit
clauses in the Book of Discipline
The New York conference proposes
a substitute for the existing clause
dancinr and otbnr
amusements in substance that
"church members make wise use of
their time; that they may grow in
grace; that they be not lovers of
pleasure more than ofGod; that they
from all pleasure that can
not be used in the name OF Christ.
and that they ever abstain from all
of evil.

In Seven Months Of War.

London, April 1.-THE war began
seven months ago to-day The Brit
ish have $50, 900 men in South Africa
against possibly 10000 electives ON
the Boer side. With the exception of
the relief of Ladysmith and kimber-
ley, the capture of Gen. Cronje and
the occupation of Bloemfontein, the
British have only resulted in clearing
a part-not all-Of their invaded ter
ritories of the enemy. The continued
postponement of the British advance
for reasons which, if imperative. are
not understood here, and the daily
increasing boldness of the Beers. ac-
companled by successes, are CALLING
to British pride, and causing disap
pointment here, which confidence in
Gen. Roberts and compulsory recog-
milton OF the Beers fighting abilities
alone keep from developing into
angry Impotence.
Winter Is now on in the field OF
war, many of the British are sick in
hospitals, they have lost over 30
600 men, nearly all their horses and
oxen are dead or dying, and Pretoria
is as far away as it was six months
ago

greatly encouraged by their successes

their shirt sleeves the enlisted men
had to submit to having the Morros
deliberately put their handsinto their
pockets and take their tobacco. When
the time for departure arrived the
chief submitted a proposition to Col.
Petit to surrender the man they were
after for $50 in gold Col. Petit ac-
cepted the proposition, leaving his
prisoner in charge of the marines en-
route here.
On his arrival here Col. Petit had a
talk with Lieut.. Col. Hayes, a fine
man with a good record, and Col.
Hayes told him he was ashamed of

desire to favor, as members OF the
executive council that will control the
island.
POWERS 1T CONFERs.
The bill provides that the President
shall appoint the governor and coun-
ell from any part OF the country he
may desire.
II grants all the franchises for rail
road and every Otherpurpose. Thus
none of the Puerto Ricans will have
the collection of their revenues, but
their affairs in every respect will be
administered by the President s APP
pointees.
Under the law San Juan is made
the capital of the island. 1t is there
that the governor will reside during
his four-year term. The executive
council is also appointed for four
wears. The members of the council
are the secretary of the cabinet, the
auditor, the attorney general, the
treasurer. the commissioner OF the
interior, the commissioner of educa-
ton and five others, making eleven
i'm all. The five others who will
have no ministerial functions, may
be citizens of Puerto Rico.
1t is in the governor cabinet and
council that the power OF the
president lies The people themselves

ture
ANY native Puerto Rican can be
elected to this branch of the govern
ment, provided he has property to
the value of 800, and can read and
write either the English of Spanish
language. The island is divided into
seven districts. so that five delegates
shall be elected from each Unlike
the council, these Legislators serve
only two years. They can take the
in Legislation and pass such
bills as they please. All measures,
however, have to pass the council
and be approved by the governor be
ore they become laws, so it is easy

little when opposed by the power OF
