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

The patriotic prescience of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln left abund-
ant aud emphatic warning to their pos.
terlty Of the danger that would arise to
the welfare and integrity OF republican
institutions should the tyrannous in
stincts which belong to great accumu-
lations Of wealth be permitted to acquire
control in the management of public at
fairs. We have fresh in our own ex-
perlence the readiness with which mono-
pelistic corporations resort to military
force to compel obedience to preversions
of the law ordered by servile judiciary
to fetter the freedom and degrade the
dignity Of those who toll. The exper-
ience of all nations is that the power of
concentrated wealth, exercised as always
through corrupt and constituencies
oligarchy, is invariably exercised to place
the neck of the masses under the iron
heel of despotis,n. The present control
of the government by trusts and mono
poles has already given US a great stand
ing army, colonial aggression, foreign
wars and an imperialistic policy. That
is in the natural evolution of our insti-
tutions under mslign guidance toward
absolutism and despotism. One of the
McHanna organs, the Des Moines Globe,
has the candor to throw off the mask
and give utterance to what is in the
minds of those who are thrustlng Nc
Kinley forward on his perilous path.
It says: n. ...
"For long time thinking people
who have large commercial interests
have felt unsafe with our present form
of government from the tact that we
are controlled by the little Cheap John
politicians and ward heelers. Now is q
good time to do away with our obsolete
constitution and adopt fern of gov
ernment that will be logical with our
new expansion ideas and will give ample
protection to capital. A constitutional
monarchy is probably the most desirable
plan we could now adopt. Everything
ls ripe for the change. \ Neither
is the change to be dreaded nor looked
forward 70 with foreboding. While We
are in fact largely under the constitu.
lions of i monarchy we have the evil,
without the benefit 81 the same. I,

Again the Winners.

Another Of the fast ball teams of this
section went down to defeat last Sunday
before the Hauensteins of this city. The
game was certainly the best ever played
on the home grounds, the score standing
at the close Of the ninth inning four to
one in favor OF the Hanensteins. The
visitors put up very strong game and
their defeat was only accomplished by
hard and fast work by the locals.
The visitors failed to score IN the first
inning and for the locals Plymat
was given base on balls, Polchow
flew out to center field, Williams fol-
lowed with pop-up to first base, Smith
was presented with the initial sack by
four bad ones, Plymst scored, Smith fol-
lowing over the home plate in canter,
and just IN time,for in an attempt to pur-
loin second Frank Baasen was nipped at
the bag by hot throw from home plate
ami three men were out. The visitors
were presented with q goose egg in the
next inning. as they we're in the four
succeeding innings. The home team
scored three goose eggs in rapid success
sion but in the fifth inning made two
more scores, white-washing the visitors
tor the three last innings, and the total
stood as before stated to /.

He Stole the Horses,

Horse stealing may or may not be
profitable. It depends altogether on
what point of view you look at it from,
and more particularly whether you are
caught or not. In the case of Thomas
D. OBrien, who helped himself last
Tuesday night to valuable team of
grays from the barn of H. Frenzel, in
this city, retribution followed swift and
sure. Briefly told the story IS as fol-
lows: Last Tuesday night the large
gray team used by H. Frenzel on his
pop wagon, together with a set of
harness, were stolen from the barn and
taken to Peter Giefer's premises on
North German street, where two seat
ed surrey was stolen The party then
drove down Minnesota street and on out
into the country. Early Wednesday
morning Sheriff Matter and Patrolman
Julius started Oh the trail and finally
brought up at Mankato. By this time,
however, all trace of the team and driv-
er was lost until Thursday morning
when Tony Wiesner, who accompanied
the sheriff and Julius, caught sight of a
man who had on Tuesday hired a rig at
his barn and driven into the country, rep.
resenting that he was posting signs for
tobacco company. Circumstances lead
Mr. Wiesner and the officers to suspect
the party and he was arrested and plac-
ed in jail at police headquarters while,
the search for the missing team Was con-
tinued. Upon investigation it was found
that the man arrested had rented barn
in the city to which entrance was Sc
cured and here the team was found
none the worse for its drive the night
before. When the prisoner was con-
frOnted with the fact that the team had
been found he admitted his guilt and
was brought to this city. Before Judge
Henningsen Saturday morning he waved
examination and was bound over to
await the action of the grand jury at
the next term of the district court, bail
being fixed at $4,000, which has not yet
been secured. 81
It was bold piece Of work and its
fortunate conclusion reflects no little
credit upon the officers who SO quickly
and effectually accomplished the arrest
of their man. O'Brien, who is SO years
of age. claims that this is his first de-
parture from the straight and narrow
path, but it is suspected that he will
prove to be an old timer, and it is more
than likely that he was not alone in the.
scheme but is probably one Of the gang
Of horse thieves which has been oper-
ating with more or less success in the
southern portion Of the state for the past
six months. He had $40 on money ON
his person when arrested.

1t is true that we have president

1t is true that we have president
who is exercising the powers of despo-
tism- making war without the author
ity of Congress, setting up governments
of his own creation over foreign people
whom he has cnslaved by force; making
treaties recognizing slavery and poly
gamy with eastern rulers, and placing
the protection Of the American flag over
the same in defiance of constitution and
organic law of the nation; acting in fact
and as il he we're just as divinely en-
dowed as Kaiser William and Gear Mich
Olas claim to be. That is but the enter
ing of the wedge. What Is done abroad
at the .behest and for benefit of the mon
opolies and trusts would lie done if they
dared and will be done when they dare,
within the United States. When we get
the German military system which it is
proposed to establish and standing
army of 100000 men, the trusts will be
no longer willing to maintain themselves
by quadrennial contribution of forty
or fifty millions from their ill-gotten
gains to purchase continuance in power
for their agents. They will take the step
from imperialism to despotism which
the Globe foreshadoWs, and claim su-
premacy by right Of force. It may not
be emperor Mckinley but it might very
we'll be. He has shown himself such d
servile and facile instrument in the hands
of the forces which are seeking to de-
stroy the true spirit of liberty, and to
strangle every element of freedom with
which the Declaration of independence
endowed our institutions, that he would
doubtless be first choice among the
would-be wreckers of the republic for
dictator, king or emperor. The Des
Moines organ of Mckinley has but CIV
en- name to the logical and inevitable
conclusion Of the policy which McKin-
I ley and his advisers are following. It
remains for the people to say whether
they are ready to welcome despotlsm
and the extiDguishment Of liberty; or
have the courage and patriotism to lay
hold of the simple republican faith of
their fathers, and rising in the might
and majesty Of the eternal principles Of
truth and justice in which our nation
wss founded, cast down and forever de-
stroy the Moloch which seeks to profane
IL sacred temple Of American freedom

THE AMERICAN prints below a table
showing the number OF deaths occurring
In Hancock county during the year 1899.
This list ~ complied from returns made
to the town clerks, and nearly all the
deaths were reported in THE AMERICAN
soon after their occurrence.
In compiling the following table THE
AMERICAN has compared the record of
the town clerks With the record as printed
from week to week In THE AMERICAN
In some cases more deaths have been re-
ported in THE AMERICAN than appear In
the town clerks reports; in other cases
the report shows that all deaths have not
been reported to The AMERICAN during
the year, but In many cases the reports
in THE AMERICAN and the figures sent by
the town clerks coincide, showing In
those towns promptpess on the part OF
physicians and town clerks in reporting.
THE AMERICAN has taken more than
the usual care this year to present q COM
plete report, and the following figures
are approximately correct. The figures
for 1895 are given for comparison. This

The above HIST docs not include residents
CT the county dying at sea or away from
home, but only those deaths actually oc
curing la the town where reported.
The year was remarkable for the num-
Der OF deaths OF aged people. or the total
number Of e. deaths reported, no less
than Do, more thsn one-third, were OF
persons who had outiived their allotted
"three score years and TEN. OF these, 1870
were between the ages OF 20 and so; 81
were between 50 and 30, aud II were over
80.
This record is sufficient 20 maintain
Hancock county's reputation for the
longevity OF it's citizens. Though com
pared with last years record, not 80 many
by three had passed the Goth year of
their age, a much greater number than in
any year since The AMERICAN began
printing the record, had passed the ages
of 20 and 80 years. The record for 1895
was 10 over 80 years, one OF which had
passed the century mark BY twenty days.
In he year 1896 seven nonagenarians died +,
the oldest being 81 years, months and
days. The year 1897 SAW the death of
six persons over ninety years OF age, the
oldest having passed the century mark.
In 1888 there were i0l between the ages of
20 aud so; 81 between SO and 30 and ii
over 80.
Ofthe towns, Bucksport clearly leads
with the old age record of twenty be-
tween the ages OF 10 and SO, five between
SO and 80, and three over 30, but Orland,
with less than half the population of
Bucksport, reports the death of two non
agenarians.
