7 r* flew Ulm Review JOHNSON & WICHERSKl. PUBLISHERS. Wednesday Dec. 25, 1895. If Blaine had been president or secre tary of state last week it is more than likely that Piemier Salisbury would never have written the reply that he gave to Cleveland. He would have known from the start what answer he would get and would have been shrewd enough to refrain. Speaker Reed was very gracious to the Minnesota members of the House in the appointment of 'jommittees. Jim Taw ney goes on the Ways and Means com mittee, Fletcher takes a place with the Commerce committee, McCleary will help determine matters of Banking and Currency, Eddy will look after Indian Affairs, Kiefer after Public Buildings, Heatwole after Foreign Affairs and Towne gets his desired place on the Riv er and Harbor committee. The Review does not begrudge the Minneapolis papers financial prosperity, but it does regret and must condemn their course in endeavoring to make mon ey out of such disgustingly sensational literature as Harry Haywarcl!s confes sion. The reading matter is revolting in itself and evil in its effect upon the public mind, and, what is worse, the whole confession has been demon strated to be a lie from the lips of one of the most contemptible criminals in history. There may be some excuse for publishing the details of a crime at the time it is committed, but a paper steps lieyond the bounds even of sensational journalism when it makes itself the me dium of dime novel literature and self confessed lies. Bob Evans has written a public letter in which he declares without equivoca tion that he will not be a candidate for governor. There is a manly tone about this declaration, for it demonstrates that Mr. Evans is above an itching desire for office, that he seos the breach in party forces and the widening effect that a complication of candidates must have, and that he is broad enough to rise a bove the clamor of his friends in order to heal the party differences and lessen the danger of defeat. Mr. Evans is un questionably one of the best fitted men, thus far mentioned for governor, but his self-denial is commendable and would be equally meritorious if manifested by some of the other men who are hankering af ter the executire position. The Cuban war has been and is now noted for its inhuman atrocities, perpe trated by the iegular soldiers ot the Span ish army. Spain has not only for the present time, but for a decade past, op pressed the Cuban people, and now seeks to destroy them entirely. The United States as a naiiou is interested, not only commercially, but because of republican liberty and humanity, and ought of right to interfere. A Republican president would have done so long ago, and it seems that Cleveland has at last come to the conclusion that Americanism is bet ter than partyism and that helping a weak neighbor contending for liberty is nobler still. A prediction to the effect that he will in a brief spell of time rec ognize the Cubans as belligerents would not be far from a correct one. Whether the president wrote his now popular Venezuelan message for political purposes or whether he was prompted by patriotism only, matters not. The nits sage in itself has the true American ring and we should consider it solely for its effect upon the domineering attitude of England. In this respect it will undoubt edly force England to consent to a peace ful arbitration of the boundary dispute, and an unequivocal statement of her claims to interference if she really has any. These elaims will have to be rea sonable and devoid of any attempt to extend her possessions, or war will be the result. The dispute is one that has hung fire for many years and England has always refused to arbitrate with the assistance of the United States, as the guardian, under the Monroe doctrine, of fie republics to the south. The president therefore takes the position that this government should take the initiative in investigating the boundary dispute, through a commission appointed by con gress, and be guided by the decision of that commission. Then, if England still insists on running things on this hemi sphere and wants to advance her greed through war, why let her have it. But she won't. Her past history gives her ample claim to braggardism and bluff, but her so-called statesmen know well enough that war with the United Stated would mean the ruination of her tem poral power. Fighting for empire would never win against fighting for the doc trine of liberty and justice promulgated by Monroe. The city of Hastings has been selected as the site for the new fourth hospital. There may be a chance for a fight be tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons now. Talking about war between England and the United States is most ridiculous. Why, we've whipped 'em twice before, and we would do it this time before they landed. There is a peculiar law suit on foot in Mankato, growing out of the action of a couple clerks in cutting down an ever green tree in one of the cemeteries for the sake of store-windw decorations. The owner of the lot from which the tree was taken brings the suit, but the clerks claim that they paid for it. .»_» Cana la talks ot putting 30,000 men into the field in case of war for the pur pore of invading the United States. It would be well perhaps for the Canadian generals to read up a little about our lat est war history and the battles in which we used to kill twice 30,000 in a single day. Let's see. The Union army alone during the Rebellion was made up of something over 2,000,000 men wasn't it? The Review greets its readers to-day with a wish that every child maybe mer ry and every home gladdened with sun shine of Christmas cheer. Whatever may be the rcligous beliefs surrounding Christ mas, whatever may have been the origin of the popular celebration, it is still a day, happiest of all the year—happy be cause it fosters the innocent merriment of children and appeals to the goodness in men and women. It opens the hearts of all, spreads joy and gladness among rich and poor, young and old, and while it puts childish superstitions into the lit the ones about ''Knss Kringles," "Santy Claus" and "Reindeers," still the little tots like the yarns so well that we often wish that they were true. About two years ago the Review pre dicted that it would not be long before the people of this country would be de manding minister Bayard's recall. That time has now come, as the following from the New York Herald would indi cate "An embassador who could be guilty of such egregious folly as to make a public speech of the tenor of Mr. Bay ard's is totally unfit to represent a great country such as the United States. He should be recalled. To impeach him would be like breaking a butterfly on a wheel." The Review does not lay any claim to prophetic power, but it merely drew its conclusions from Mr. Bayard's past history. Whenever he has had an opportunity to express himself publicly, as for instance during the rebellion and during his career as senator and secreta ry t)f state, his sentiments have been un American and unpatriotic his attitude, one of constant toadving to the English. The action of the English capitalists in trying to injure our national credit by creating a panic in Wall Street through the sudden liquidation of American se curities, evidently for the purpose of in timidating the president, should teach the American people a lesson. That lesson is that Americans should learn to depend upor Americans and not contin ually lend themselves to a slavery under the Rothschilds and Shylocks of London and Wall Street. It is a pitiable fact that in the leading city of our country we have a band of men who are lost to all patriotic feeling and willing to be come partners to any crime against their country that will enrich themselves, but it is a fact nevertheless. The sooner our people recognize it and free themselves from the unnatural bondage, the better it will be for the perpetuity of Republi can institutions. Doctrine of no doctrine international law or no international law it is a prin ciple that this nation should maintain, even at the cost of war. that whenever England or any other foreiga power seeks to browbeat the weak republics of this continent, either for the sake of domination, indemnity or spread of pos sessions, the United States should cast its influence with the weaker power. Even though it has no commercial inter ests to defend, it has a principle to fight for and that principle involves the dis countenancing of European greed and the extension of European monarchical power when it comes so close to home as to put it into our power to prevent. Lib erty lies, at the foundation of our form of government, and liberty can only be enjoyed by ensuring it to others. Naught but selfish aggrandizement prompts English meddling with South American affairs and naught can prevent submis sion on'tbV part of our neighbor republic but our own interference. That assist ance is one which is always due from the strong to the weax, and if it isn't inter national law, it is something higher and more Exacting—it is justice. ANECDOTES OF SPURQEON. How £he Great English Preacher Gamete -.-.{"-- Be a Smoker. Some years ago I was at a hotel in Paris, and to my great delight found Mr. ^purgeon one "wet afternoon in the smoking room. He was attending a re ligions conference and was accompanied by a kind of bodyguard of elders and deacons, one or two of whom constantly watched him. Fortunately for me, none of them smoked, and when they mount ed their usual watch he literally choked them off in a few minutes. I was there fore his sole audience on two or three occasions. I have known most of the good conversationists and raconteurs of my time but, except perhaps Robert Louis Stevenson, he was by far the best. I understand that a biography of Mir. Spurgeon has lately appeared, but I have not seen it and doubt if thejauthor has preserved the following anecdote, which I venture to -write down, as nearly as I can remember, in his own words: "You wouldn't guess what calling I wanted to follow. I wanted to be a whipper in of hounds. Yes, there was never a meet near where I was brought up without my attending, and many a long run I had, often across plowed fields, and many a time I was alone at the death. I could not do it now" and then he looked at his ample waistcoat and laughed. I never heard a more pleas ant laugh nor one more sympathetic and infectious. He continued: "You wouldn't guess how I came to be a smoker. When I was 16, I went to my father and told him there was a va cancy, and that I should like to go in for it. 'A vacancy for what?' he asked. 'For a whipper in to the hounds,-and I should be sure to get it.' He answered, very solemnly, 'Charles, my son, you should be a whipper in of souls,' and he sent me down into the Fen country to preach in the villages. When I came home, I developed a violent cold, with a good deal of fever and some twinges of rheumatism. I told my father all my experiences—how I had been receiv ed, how they had crowded in—but there was one thing in particular that I dwelt on. I had observed in every cottage that the old people sat in the chimney cor ners and that the table before me was ornamented with two long pipes, cross ed, between two jars of tobacco and two hymnbooks. At one of these meetings, just as I was about to speak, an old man took up and filled a pipe, and then drawing a hot cinder from the fire pro ceeded to offer it to me. I gave him a look intended to wither him up, for I allowed no levity"—here another laugh. 'I see,' said my father, 'how you have acquired that heavy cold.' When I was better, I started on another tour, but before I left home my father said in his most impressive tones, 'Charles, my son, if they fill and light a pipe for you, smoke it. If they don't, fill and light for yourself. And, in any case, don't keep them from their tobacco. In that climate and at this time of year smok ing is your best protection against fe verish colds.' "—London Realm. A HARROWING EXPERIENCE. Story of an Execution by Electricity Re lated on an Elevated Train. They got on a crowded Sixth avenue elevated train at Fourteenth street, and every one looked at them because they were both young and both pretty. They talked together in audible tones, with all the enthusiasm of youth, and the other passengers listened to it all with great interest. Suddenly one of them, the smaller one, turned to her companion and with a look of horror on her face asked: "Oh, Win, did you ever see any one killed by electricity?" "Gracious, no!" exclaimed the other. I should hope not." '''I did," laconically rejoined the other. "Why, Florence, what do you mean?" demanded her companion. "Oh, it was terrible," replied Flor ence in all seriousness. "I never want to see anything like it again." "flow utterly ridiculous!" remarked her friend. "Whom did you ever see killed by electricity?" "Why," replied Florence, an ag grieved expression coming over her face, "it was the ether afternoon up in Har lem. I saw a cat run over by an electric car." The 'other passengers tried not to smile, but it was too funny, considering that the girl meant every word she said. Neither girl noticed the amusement of the other passengers, however, and Flor ence doesn't know yet of the amusement the passengers got out of her harrowing experience.—New York Sun. Carlyle Corrected. At a Royal academy dinner in London some years ago several artists w«re ex pressing their enthusiasm about Titian. Carlyle and Thackeray, it appears, were among the guests. Mrs. Annie C. Wil son tells the story of what followed: "His glorious coloring is a fact about Titian," said one man, striking the ta ble to give emphasis to the remark. "And his glorious drawing is another fact about Titian!" cried another artist. And so they went on until Carlyle, who had been listening in silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted them by saying, with a slow deliberation which had its own impressive emphasis: "And here I sit, a man made in the image of God, who knows nothing about Titian and cares nothing about Titian, and that's another fact about Titian." Thackeray was sipping claret at the moment. He paused and bowed courte ously to Carlyle. "Pardon me," he said "that appears to me to be not a fact about Titian, but a fact, and a lam entable one, about Carlyle." Might Have Known.
