Washington, Feb. 10.-In order to
solve the Cuban problem without call
ing an extra session the president has
consented to allow Senator Platt OF
Connecticut TO try and get congress to
pass a joint resolution which shall
cover five demands of the United
States on the new Cuban government.
They are:
First-Guarantee of protection of life
and property Of Spaniards resident in
the island.
Second-Pledge not to recognize the
bonded debt which Spain tried to
fasten on the island.
Northumberland OF h United
States Of a part of the cost OF the
Spanish war. 4.
Fourth-A coaling station and naval
base.
Fifth-Control by the United States
of foreign treaties.
1t is proposed to attach the resolu-
ton to the army appropriation bill as
an amendment and let both pass or
fail, as Democratic opposition DEGREES.
Persons in positions to be well In
formed as to the presidents purposes
believe that an extra session will be
inevitable unless congress shall take
some action with respect to Cuba and
its relation to his country. With that
matter disposed Of there is good reason
to believe that an extra session will
be avoided. A strong effort will be
made to render an extra session un-
necessary, and with this feeling h
president is in full accord.

New Ulm, Wednesday, Dec. 18th, 1901
The Review desires to call attention

The Review desires to call attention
to the fact that home news this week
has been run on different pages through
this issue in order to accommodate the
large amount of holiday advertising.
Just at this time it is we'll to state that
the writer has visited most of the stores
in the city and priced articles and finds
that Christmas buyers can do better
here IN New Ulm than in the larger
cities. The assortment is just as good
and the prices even better. We present
in this issue the advertisements of those
merchants who are best qualified to fill
the wants of the most exacting purchas-
er. If you fail to get what you want
in one store go to another. You have
an assortment from which to select that
has never been equalled.
New Ulm review., 1901-12-11
BE FAIR GENTLEMEN.

1t is but natural that people of oppo-
site political faith of Gov. Van SAINT
should look upon his present move as a
shrewd vote getting by-play. This is a
narrow partisan way of looking at it
and is as unjust as it is partisan. A
bluff like that could not be successfully
sustained until time for re- election and
if it falls through will be the mill stone
about the neck of Van SAINT that will
sink him into political oblivion. We
believe the governor is right in this and
is as much in earnest as he is in the right.
Let us be broad enought to see virtue in
others beside those of our own political
family.
New Ulm review., 1901-12-11
A Last Word.

It is not right to let the Sunday clos
ing invacuo argument of the News pass
from the stage without setting right one
or two things. This from the News:
s'After all the stir about Sunday clos
ing of few stores in New Ulm, the net
results are only an unenviable advertis-
ing of the city in the surroupding towns
to the injury of the business interests"
We deny this in behalf of the mer-
chants who have been instrumental in
bringing about the closing of the stores.
The pursuit of right has never worked
injury to anyone. The only shame is
that virtue seeks reward because it is
so rare that its discovery attracts atten-
ton.
Bro. Greene ignores the fact that the
men behind this movement are they than
whom no others in the city have done
more for the betterment of the city and
we challenge him to cite one instance
where the enforcement of the Sunday
closing law has worked injury to this
city or any other city.
People are not SO little and narrow
as the editor of the News would have us
believe, and even in the face of his most
strenuous opposition to the law we see
the triumph of the very principle he op-
poses. individuals and nations that stand
in the way of progress must step aside
OR fail in line, for progression and not
retrogressloni is the law of the age. That
there h as been much unenviable ad-
vertislng by reason of this we admit but
at the same time the outside world has
been given to understand that in obedi-
ence to the law New Uln Will set
the pace for any city IN the State. If
Bro Greene wanted to be fair in this
matter why didn't he do as the Review
did and publish both sides of the criti.
cism. "Confound'' man with an axe
to grind.
New Ulm review., 1901-12-11
IS THERE A LUMBER TRUST?

It is patent to all who have to buy
lumber that there is something radically
wrong with the prices of building ma
terial, and yet T. B. Walker, who has
been a dealer in lumber for many years,
in a speech before the Commercial club
in Minneapolis recently made the as
sertion that "lumber has never been or
ganized into trust"
What is it that holds the price of lum-
Der at the unreasonable figure it is today?
If it isn't the lumber trust it is the lum-
Der tariff, snd who holds the tariff where
where 1t is; it certainly is not the peo-
ple. This tariff on lumber is the most
iniquitous, unjust Il n d unreasonable
piece of legislation that now stands, and
the congressman from this state are do
ing the people an injustice as long as
they permit the tax to remain. The
way to protect the forests of this state
is to give US lumber from Canada and
then every pine tree that will make a
2x4 will not be cut down and carted
away to the saw mill.
Is there lumber trust? Ask any To-
cal dealer who fixes the price of the lum-
Der be sells. Of course there is trust
and 1t was that same trust that put 25
per cent tariff on wheat to tickle the
fancy of the farmer and make him be-
leve that without it this country would
he flooded with wheat from across the
line. Farmers would be money ahead
with the duty taken off of wheat If by
so doing lumber would be released to
them. 1t ls political gold brick scheme
that hasn't even the virtue of being well
colored.
New Ulm review., 1901-12-11
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

A thorough reading of the presidents
message to congress shows that the gov
ernment of the country is in the hands
of man with will power, less effected
by the threats and suggestions of party
leaders than any president for many
wears. It is bold document and it
congress lives up to Its suggestions the
coming years will give an administra-
ton of Justice that will bear the highest
mark of craftsmanship. There is evi-
deut hesitation on the part that deals
with trusts and the contrast is great
when it is compared with the treatment
of the improvident and defenseless In
dian which is decisive and vigorous, but
even as it is it shows that the grasp that
corporations are getting upon the reins
of government is beginning to be looked
upon as menace rather than better
ment to good government.
