a.** 4. J®* if* 1 fc-yV N JieW Ulm Review ERNST WICHERSKI, F. W. JOHNSON, PROPRIETOR EDITOR Wednesday, October 5, 1898. Official paper of the county of Brown. Shielding Wrong. In writing up the rottenness of munic ipal administration in Minneapolis of late years, the Minneapolis Times, either inadvertently or with a fairness that is commendable, recalled one chapter in the career of Candidate Eustis that hard ly warrants the admiration which that gentleman commands at the hands of the Times. It says: "When Haney was indicted and brought back from Illinois he was taken by the sheriff to the Nicollet house, and there received with demonstrations of sorrow by many Republicans of promi nence in the city. Among the rest there was William Henry Eustis, now the Re publican candidate for governor. He and State Committeeman Henry F. Brown offered to go upon Haney's bond, and did, in fact, become sureties in his behalf tJ the extent of $7,500. Though nearly every person understood perfectly well tha* Haney had been for many years one of the most corrupt officials that ever disgraced the city and as such the chief manipulator of the city council, never theless the leaders of the Republican party stood by him, gave him aid and comfort and actively promoted the mis carnage of justice that followed. Every body knew Haney was guilty, and the Republican leaders knew it better than any one else. But party welfare, and no doubt the individual welfare of many prominent Republicans, required not on ly that Haney should be kept silent, but that he should be acquitted. If he dis closed the facts within his knowledge, of which he gave a hint in his confession to Mr. Bassett, calamity and disaster would no doubt have come to the party and its leaders." On a par with Eustis' role as a pro tector of Haney, was the part he played in shielding the swindler, Menage of the Guaranty Loan. William Henry Eustis'was not only connected with that company, but was for the whole term of its largest opera lions, an active, working director. When the charges against the concern, original ly brought by John H. Burke, could no longer be suppressed, President Menage, as a bluff, tendered his resignation at a meeting of the directors at which Eustis was present. Thereupon a special investigating com mittee of the directors was appointed, to investigate the charges against Men age. Director Eustis was one of this committee, and soon after reported, completely whitewashing Menage. The latter thereupon returned to his posi tion. It is estimated that fully $3,000, 000 of the swindles of the company were effected after this whitewashing by the directors, out of the grand total of $9,000,000. Director Eustis thus did a double duty. His name and influeuce, with that of Lowry, Fletcher and others, had roped in the dupes from the begin mg, but after this "investigation" the victims came in at a lively rate, until, at the final collapse, when Menage had fled, they covered all parts ot the country, and included people from all walks of life.The pall thrown over the good name of the city of Minneapolis and the state has not to this day beea removed. Official proof of Eustis' connection with the Guaranty Loan can be found in the state bank examiner's offce, and it is playing the baby act for him to claim that his name was used as a director against hi& will. J. Adam Bede- doesn't like it a little bit that Charlie Towne refused to honor him with a joint debate. -The fact is, Bede realizes tliat a great opportunity for attracting public attention to him self has been spoiled., Trotting around the country before small audiences, tell ing funny stories and cracking puns, isn't addiBg to his national reputation to the exten* that a debate with Towne would, and Bede knows it. Bede isn't a fool, if he is a clown. On the contrary, he has an eye to business, and figures that a debate with Towne, in which he certainly would not get the worst of it Avould be advertisement enough to keep him on the platform at a fairly good price for a year to come. Bede admits that he isn't Tdwne's equal, either in oratory or argument, but at the same time he believes, with Holmes, that the joker has the advantage with an audi ence in some respects and that a well directed pun is sufficient to upset a whole trainload of splendid and con vincing argument. That's Bede exactly. He employs the same tactics that the proverbial Irishman of the audience 'does. One question, cunningly put, -wins for him the favor and laughter of [Lind and Towne. -tr •*»•, 'W* "W the crowd, while it compels the speaker to diverge *from his chosen line of argu ment to follow the ever-moving target set up by the wit. Get Bede off alone by himself, where the public can't hear what he says, and he will admit that this is just as he thinks when he thinks for Bede and not for publication. What hurts him is that To-wne should be onto his littleggame. The Owatonna Journal and St. Peter Tribune, in order to create a feeling against Quartermaster Lind, hint that he was to blame for the fact that when the regiment ariived at New Ulm the tents were down in Iowa and "the boys had to sleep on the open ground and huddle around a camp fire to keep warm." Purer rot and falsehood never found its way into print. That the tents and camp equipage were somewhat late in reaching here is true, but it was through ho fault of Mr. Lind's. The cars were all loaded at Lex ington and sent on their way to New Ulm, under competent officers, hours be fore the'regiment got away. That they reached New Ulm a few hours later was to be expected, considering the way in which railroads handle freight. But even then, the train was here and unloaded at eight o'clock, and if the boys didn't sleep under canvas at night it was their own fault. They were all down town having a good time, until late in the night, and the writer knows from personal obser vation that the captains had great diffi culty in getting their men to take care of the company property after it once reached here. The regiment had scattered *o all paits of the city. It was the first night of freedom they had had in months and little did they care whether they saw a bed that night or not. Those who could tear themselves away from the pleasures of town long enough to put up their tents will testify willing ly that no inconvenience was experienced, and, as for the others, they would never think of blaming anyone bat themselves. There were no camp-fires that night and there wasn't any need for them. The boys all know it. They would laugh heartily were they to read such trash as the Journal and Tribune published, and when they get home they will give the he to all such nonsense. Next time, brother* editors, post your selves as to the facts. The Chicago Chronical says "As we intimated a few days ago, the only way in which William J. Bryan can satisfy the Republican editors and politicians is to commit suicide or betake himself to the Klondike, the North Pole or equator ial Afiica. So long as he remains in this country he will be responsible for an epidemic of hysteria and insomnia in the party of moral ideas. Not only can he do nothing himself that will shit the administration organs, but anyone who treats'him with ordinary civility shares in the condemnation that is being fired at him. Gen. Miles, for example, is get ting it hot and heavy because he returned Col. Bryan's call in Washington, the im plication being that anyone who holds communication with Bryan is necessarily a villian and a traitor to the state. Miles, of course, is already anathema marana tba because he has blasphemed St. Al ger, but he might have redeemed himself had he acted, like a boor toward Mr. Bryan. The latter gentleman will there fore see that by persisting in living he is not only disturbing the Republican or gan grinders, but getting innocent peo ple into tiouble besides. Won't he lavor the truly good by effacing himself alto gether as speedily and quietly as possi ble?" A prominent commercial traveler, who is just Dack from a trip up the St. Paul & Duluth, declares that Lind and Towne will run much stronger in that district than they did two years ago. Mr. Lind is bring eagerly urged to make addresses at various parjs of this district, and it is probable that he will, before he returns to his military duties this month, deliv er three or more speeches in that con gressional district. It must be a high opinion that Estes of the Madelia Messenger has of the sol dier boys of the Twelfth if he thinks they would be guilty of wearing Lind buttons while in New Ulm merely for the sake of deceiving Mr. Lind and his New Ulm inends. No, no, Mr. Estes the boys in the Twelfth are made of sterner stuff. In his opening speech at Minneapolis a week ago Ignatius Donnelly hurled his broadsides of invective at everything and everybody but the Republican par ty. Nobody who read the speech could fail to be impressed with the idea that Donnelly was in the pay of the republi can machine committee.

PRESERVING KETTLE-. Thonroughly re tinned, strong bail 7c. The Peoples Store. All roads lead to Hummel'* Impressed with the pitiable condition of a majority of the returning soldiers, General Manager Whitman of the Chi cago & Noithwestern road has determ ined that none of the boys in blue who may come into contact with his compa ny shall suffer for lack of attention. The North-western system covers five or six states which furnished a large propor tion of the volunteers, and in order that the boys may oe tieated kindly on their way home, whetder discharged or on furlough, Mr. Whitman has issued spec ial instructions to every agent and con ductor on the entire system to give spec ial care and attention toreturnmgsoldiers en loute from camps to their homes while upon the trains or at the stations of the North-western. The employees are instructed to be diligent to ascertain if any of the soldiers are in need of food, and more particularly if they are sick and require medical attention, and if any such are found he is to be attended to at the expense of the company,if necessary. It will not be necessary for the soldier to be in unitorm to get the advantage of the road's hospitality, for if he can show the proper papers of discharge or furlough, he will receive the same con sideration. "We cannot do enough for the return ing soldiers," said General Superinten dent Sanborn, in speaking of the order. "The boys went down there and faced death in a hundred different ways, and those who escaped are returning home debilitated and worn out. They did this for what? Not for money it is not in any sane man to resign himself to death for a money consideration. Tbey did it for the love of country." First Qctober tf 5 Trade Sale.
