."-si I H- flew Ulm Review ERNST WICHERSKI, F. W. JOHNSON, PROPRIETOR EDITOR Wednesday, June 1, 1898. Official paper of the county of Brown. The Washington correspondent of the St. Paul, Dispatch telegraphs his paper as follows: There is daily developing in the senate of the United States a plan looking toward peace without any fur ther bloodshed. The scheme is being very carefully engineered by the gentle men who two months ago were desig nated as the "peace-at-any-price" party. It is, therefore, unnecessary to name in dividual senators and representatives. A parallel to what is being now attempted in Washington to bring the war to a close is being played at Paris and Mad rid, and the peisons most interestedare the Spanish bondholders. Four hundred millions of Spanish fours is a big stake in this game of war or peace.. The influences at work to bring about an end to hostilities have these things view: First- Occupation of the Philippine islands until Spain agrees to pay what ever indemnity may be settled upon be tween the state department and Madrid. Second-—After it has been demonstrat ed that Blanco can no longer hold out» and after the Madrid cabinet, in order to save the Spanish arms in Cuba from dis aster and starvation, have advised Blan co to evacuate, active operations on land and sea are to cease pending the out come of diplomatic negotiations for the future government of Cuba, which is to be a free and independent government, Puerto Rico and Canary islands to be left alone. Third—Congress is to be urged to rush the war revenue bill through, side-track the Hawaiian annexation proposition and go home, leaving the administration alone to deal -Tvith the war and peace procedure. Finally, if the programme works well in every number, it is expected that by the time congress assembles in regular session next December a treaty of peace between Spain and the United States will be ready for ratification in the se nate. This is the plan of the peace-at-any price people. McKinley, while not com mitted to it, was always favorable to the ends to be attained in the pro gramme above outlined. His message requesting congress to leave the Cuban question to the administration was in line with such a policy, and it would have been carried out but for the firm stand of a few senators of the Davis and Foraker stamp. It is hardly probable that it will be carried out now, but it is possible. The President is being advised strong ly on the one side never to haul down the American flag in the Philippines, and on the other not to consider the holding of these islands as American territory after the conclusion of the war. But while opinions differ radically upon the subjects of territoral aggrandizement and the advisability of the English alli ance, there are two things developed by the present struggle upon which there is a practical unanimity of American sen timent. One is that the United States must have a much greater navy than it has a navy, backed by th6 nation's oth er resources, will make the United States fully capable of holding its own with any other nation in the world and the other is a necessary concomitant of the first—more coaling stations. Capt. Ma han, a member of the board of strategy and one of the most distinguished naval experts in the world, has said that a war-ship without coal is like a wingless bird. The full force of this analogy has been impressed upon the American peo ple in the past six weeks as it never was before. When Admiral Dewey was forced to leave Hong Kong with his fleet, he was practically compelled to fight for his life. That he succeeded so brilliant ly does not in the least affect the fact that when war was declared the declara tion left him in the most desperate straits, as he was over 8,000 miles from home and had no port in which he could enter for refuge or to recoal. The difficulties Spain has had to encounter to get her fleet across the Atlantic are too fresh in the public mind to need repetition.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Haugen, the man who made Minneap olis poorer by several hundred thousand dollars while serving her as treasurer, has been pardoned by Gov^ Clough. Thislfi an outrage. Haugen's sentence in the first place was light, altogether too light, and there is absolutely no need for showing favoritism to him T?hile others are serving out much heavier sen fences for what, by comparison, are triv ial offenses. The Minneapolis Times has been sounding the sentiment of the republi cans of the various counties of the state relative to the governorship, and here is what it says of Brown: It is impossible to predict at this time whom the repub licans of Brown county in convention assembled will favor for governor. The prevailing public sentiment among the votersjs undoubtedly favorable to Eus tis, but the prevailiug sentiment among the voters will have very little to do with determining the action of the con vention. Sam Peterson has not yet openly pspoused the cause of anyone, and till he does predictions are merely guesses. If he should conclude that Van Sant ought to have the delegation from this county, then Van Sant will get it. If he is opposed to the Clough choice, then Van Sant won't be in it. The republican convention has been called for the 23rd of June, and will consist of 108 delegates. New Ulm has thirty-two of these, and with the help of the surrounding towns can easily swing the convention. If Hays of the Sleepy Eye Dispatch has been acting in harmony with Peterson, then the Sleepy Eye paper's hatred of Van Sant will be indorsed on the 23rd. If he hasn't, and Sam happens to feel otheiwise, the con vention's action will show that H. G. Hays cuts but a very small figure in the politics of Brown county. It now appears that the three regi ments recently mustered into the nation al service from this state lack 708 of the maximum strength required by the new military regulations. The records in the adjutant general's office show that the present strength of each Minnesota volunteer regiment is 1036 officers and men. It should be 1,272, and before any new companies are organized 708 privates must be mustered in as mem bers of the three regiments now in the field,,236 men to a regiment. This will leave but a thousand men to be mus tered in under the last call, and the number of commissions at the disposal of Gov. Clough will be correspondingly small. Just how the mistake was made is not apparent, but it was probably due to the confusion caused by conflicting orders received from Washington at the time the men were mustered in. Gov. Clough insists that he followed instruc tions to the letter and that the mustering officer would not accept over 84 men. The governor adds: We kept hundreds of men at Camp Eamsey, paid their ex penses and had to send them home simp ly because they were not needed. It's a very annoying matter, but there can be no blame as far as I am concerned. Chauncey Depew favors an Anglo American alliance. In an interview on Saturday in London he said: "The re vulsion of feeling in America from dis trust and hostility to cordial friendship is the most remarkable change of popu lar sentiment of the century. A few years ago any mild treaty or arbitration would have been rejected. Today a much stronger agreement would meet with universal approval even in the sen ate." That John Lind will be the guberna torial nominee of the combined reform forces of this state goes without saying. His heroic campaign in 1896, in behalf of the right as he saw the right, has en deared his name to that class of voters in Minnesota who are laboring to bring about the inauguration of an executive whose platform of principles will be plainly understood, and one who has the courage of his convictions. Whether John Lind returns or not from the Cu ban war in time to participate in the campaign, he will be the standard bearer of the democratic free silver forces. The people's party, and silver republicans, as well as the democrats of Minnesota, are unanimous for him. He was one of the first prominent citizens to tender his ser vices to the government when war was declared between he United States and Spain. He received a com mission and is now at the front but the people know him, and after the election in November next John Lind will be re called—if the war continues at that time —to occupy the sent now held by Gov ernor Clough.—Grand Rapids Herald Review. Col. Shandrew will head the next reg iment ot volunteers to go to the front from this state. Hon. L. F. Hubbard, former governor of this state, was made a brigadier gen eral on Friday. The appointment was made by President McKinley at the ur gent request of Senator Davis. Captain Mahan, who is TIOW a mem ber of our distinguished strategy board at Washington, says: "War, once de clared, must be waged offensively and aggressively. The enemy must not lie fended off, but smitten down. He must be struck incessantly and remorselessly.'* NewSpring: We have The chief attraction of the week to alllovers ofthebeau tiful in the MILLIN ERY ART.
