flew Ultn Review ERNST WICHERSKI, PUBLISHER. MAXLAT7E, EDITOR. Wednesday, June 14, 1899. A rubber collar is the newest tbing. It is probably invented to fit the rubber neck. Ho-v the poor trusts are shivering at the lambasting they expect to receive in the next national Republican platform! In his inaugural address President McKinley said "Reform in the civil service must go on." But the same Mc Kinley has caused it to go off—about 10,000 points. "It is reported," says the Chicago Times Herald, "that Jerry Simpson as pires to a seat in the United States sen ate." Aspires What's the matter with "would condescend to accept one?'* .—i Because McKinley blundered, the best young blood of the country must fight out the Filipino war to the bitter end. But will this country permit Mr Mc Kinley to blunder through four years of a second term? The people who have profited the most by Mr. McKinley's recent civil ser vice order are Boss Hanna, Boss Quay and Boss Piatt. And the motto still holds good, "A man is known by the company he keeps." That member ot the Pennsylvania leg islature who was arrested for attempting to buy votes for Quay is in no danger. Wasn't it Quay he tried to buy votes for? And is not Quay hand in glove with the administration? Thi1 first gun of the Republican cam paign was fired when Mr. McKinley re leased 10,000 government offices from the restraint of civil service rules. And the president has more of the same kind of smokeless ammunition left The social Democracy of Massachu setts, winch has put up a full state tick et, has declared for female suffrage, pub lic ownership of all industries controlled by trusts, an eight hour labor day, and for international arbitiatiou- Au Indiana calf recently choked to death in the endeavor to swallow a live kitten From this tragic incident one can gather something of an idea of the probable effect on the Republican party of an attempt to swallow an anti-trust plank The New York Herald has been inves tigating the recent Republican anti-trust enactments in the \arious states, and finds among other such laws that have been looked into that the Minnesota law enacted last winter is perfectly harmless—to the trusts, of course. You might as well expect blood from a tur nip a3 effective anti-trust legislation from the Republican party. The president has practically amend ed the civil service law to read "No Democrat is tit to fill a public office." Time is fast making things even be tween Schley and Sampson. The former *^s.beiug lionized wherevei he goes and has been presented with swoids enough to arm a regiment of cavalry, but Samp son has not even been tendered a cheese knife. It makes a difference whethei an officer is on hand when the fight is fit. Tu Republican forces in Ohio have had their little skirmish, Boss Hanna and Boss Foraker met in a 12 foot ring, and the senior senator from Ohio was laid out, prize ring rules, in the first round by an under-cut from the mighty Marcus Aurelius Hanna. The latter is now in full control of the patronage of the state administration as well as of the national, he is the genuine article at the head of the national administration. The administration is much worried by the failure of the Cuban soldiers to surrender their arms and accept the $T5. per oSfjita sent over there for them. They had supposed that the poor, ragged devils would jump at the chance of get ting $75 apiece, more money than prob ably three-fourths of them ever owned at one time in their lives. They don't know what to make of the refusal, but they fear that it means trouble of some sort, and their fears are likely to be true. What with Dreyfus, Marchand, the royalists and Anna Gould Castellane, the temperature of Paris is far above normal. The administration is said to be form ulating plans for an early surrender of Cuba to self government. Of course this means that if Cuba will voluntarily become apart of the United States, she will be permitted to do so. No one with an atom of sense believes that it is in dependence of the United States to be es tablished there. CiHa will never be come an independent republic tor two reasons. First she is not fit for self government, and second, we want the is- land ourselveB. Laying aside politics these reasons are sufficient for our re maining in control there, as we undoubt edly shall. Ex-Senator Ingalls figures that trusts are beneficial to the individual consum ers, but detrimental to small merchants and manufacturers. We decline, how ever, to accept his argument that trusts have lowered prices, it is improvements in machinery and other methods of pro duction in all lines of industry, which have lowered prices, and the lowering has been in spite of the trusts, rather than because of them. The only time that a trust ever favors lower prices, for anything but labor and what it has to buy, is when it is crushing out a rival. The Republican platform of 1856 con tained the resolution below. Probably members of the party today will say that it "does not rount that, like Washington's Farewell Address, the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution of the United States, it is too old. Here it is: "The maintenance of the principle promulgated in the Declaration of Inde pendence and emflodied in in the Feder al constitution is essential to the preser vation of our Republican institutions. The highway-man's plea that might makes right is in every respect unworthy of American diplomaoy, and would bring shame anH dishonor upon any govern ment or people that gave it their sanc tion." More men, more blood and more mon ey for the Philippines. That is the cheer ful outlook. Mr. McKinley has become convinced that Aguinaldo successively played the role of brier fox in his deal ings with the blue-coated and red-trous ered American civilian Commissioners, by staving off active military operations against him until the rainy season came on, while he was preparing for another campaign in the fall. He has also be come convinced that any further delay of the volunteers in the Philippines wLo wish to come home will be dangerous. Convinced of these two things there was nothing left tor him to do except to de cide to issue a call for volunteers to go to the Philippines, under authority of the aimy act of the last congress. He has made that decision, but, in keeping with his usual custom of giving the pub lic an excuse for his every important act, will defer issuing the call foi vol unteers until he gets a cablegram fiom Gen. Otis saying that more men areNim peratively needed over there. It has been found impossible to get any con siderable number of the volunteers now in the Philippines to re-enlist, although et.ch man who does so is given travel pay amounting to about Fou the first time in the history of the American congress, that august body will have a speaker from the western states. Ever since it became known, that Reed would retire from politics and re sign from the czarship the republican party bosses were busily engaged in selecting his sucessor. The great ques tion was "shall the speaker be chosen from the western states, or shall the pro gram remain unchanged The east has had the speakership continually, Indi ana beiug the only state not directly east, whence a speaker in the lower house of congress was once chosen D. P. Henderson of Iowa will Ue the third man in authority in the United States when congress convenes and the conclu sion might be drawn, that the western lepresentatives in congiess will have more sway than they have had before. The Minnesota delegation met a short time ago and unanimously resolved to support Henderson's candidacy, thereby gaining him the victory over Sherman from New York. The new speaker will no doubt reward the gentlemen from the west by assigning to them chairmanships of important committees, and as the western representatives will be more rec ognized in the next session of congress, they will be in a position to serve their constituents better than heretofore. This is one consolation for the West, although the people do not expect much from a billion-and-one-halt congress, such as the last one has been and the next one will be. With men like 'Hanna, Quay and theii peers in the U. S. senate, the lower house, even if it were any better, would be handicapped. THE opposition organs are still voci ferating against their opponents, giving them epithets like copperheads, Span iards etc., but this is done for party pur poses only. When Gov. Lind favored the return of the 13th Minnesota from Manila, the boys having done more than their share of the fighting, he was foul ly attacked by the republican organs. It was claimed that the boys of the 13th Minnesota were only too willing to fight for their country, that they would not return, even if ordered to be mustered out. This is all bosh and rot, as loud as loud as Alger-Eagan beef. Letters from members of the 13th Minnesota abound with complaints made by the boys, ,who are anxious to return. They all agree that they enlisted against Spain, bat not against a lot of semi savages, and only a few of them, probably having ho home, nothing to lose and nothing to gain here, would like to remain there. This con stitutes the enthusiasm and patriotism so loudly proclaimed by the administra tion organs. If the boys return the peo ple of Minnesota will learn soon enough how basely they were deceived by the clamoring of the imperialists for a con tinuance of the war against the Filipin os. The decimated ranks ot the 13th regiment will perhaps caune remoise among those brave men, who so valiant ly demand that others should fight, for them to reap the harvest. Enthusiasm was shown in the war against Spain, to avenge the Maine, but this war for op pression of a whole nation is entirely against the wishes of the soldiera enlist ad against Spain. Of course, commis sioned officers, professional politicians etc. are in favor of a prolonged war un til the final submission of the Philippine islands. Vox POPULI vox DEL The people of the United States have passed-their sen tence regarding the almost outrageous conduct of the navy department and the administration towards Admiral Schley, the hero of Santiago. No doubt exists as to whom belongs this title, although Admiral Schley never claimed any credit for the great naval victory over Cervera's fleet. Admiral Sampson, then in com mand of the flying squadron, the favor ite of the navy department, was far away at the time of the battle, but he never theless cabled* the administration that he was the man of the day, not unlike Gen. Shafter who performed all his fighting five miles behind the firing lines. But then Sampson and Shafter are the favor ites and they must be rewarded. The people are idolizing Admiral Dewey, and justly so, a braver and bet ter man never lived. Schley's victory over Cerveja's fltet was just as import ant as Dewey's victoiy at Manila Bay, but for some teason, known to the ad ministration only, Schley's merits have never been recognized, the unassun ing hero of Santiago regarded t*'.uself ex tremely lucky npt to be court martialed. The ipjujtioe done Admiral Schley is somewhat counteracted by the public demonstrations in his honor while Samp son's name is never mentioned except in a manner not verey flattering to the commander of the Hying squadion in name only, who was awarded the prize money due Schley. Has Schley been turned down foi po litical reasons' This is not very likely, we rather presume that as the descend ant from a German family, immigrated some 150 years ago he met the dislike of the powers to be, our Longs, Algers, Macs, Marks, etc. The German-Amen can voters will remember the injustice done their distinguished countryman if such he may be called, in a manner not so easily to be forgotten by the Repub lican bosses, when the proper time has come. Then surely Schley will be recog uized as the hero of Santiago. THE disgraceful scenes in Pans after the decision of the court of cassati on in the Dreyfus case are but a sign of the im perialistic course France is dnfting to. Members of the American aristocracy, that is, Amencan women with untold wealth, who have sold themselves to some decrepit members of Europe's so called hereditaty nobility, have made themselves conspicuous in those riotous scenes, and thereby shown their inclina tion towards imperialism. The army of France is said to feel insulted by the de cision of the court and the aspirants to the throne of France are secrcetly and openly working to arouse the masses, in order to precipitate a revolution. It is easy in France to have a revolution,which at this juncture would mean an over throw of the republic, but why should Americans sympathize with such a move ment? American citizenship is not good enough for this degenerate class, whose forefathers, (they now call them "ances tors") have accumulated tens, nay hun dreds of millions, by robbing the peo ple. They must by aid of this wealth break into foreign nobility in order to gain an empty title or decoration. Countess de Castellane, nee Gould, is said to have been the most prominent in the excesses above mentioned, and this in conjunction with her millions have gained for her the distinction to be the recognized leader ot the royalist women of France. It is only a matter of time, when the fort of our heiresses and their millions in order to gild the barren pedigree of an impoverished foreign nobility, will be unnecessary, if the present policy is adhered to. The president of the Uni ted States may become king or emperor of the Philippines and bestow titles up on the faithful. It is hardly to be as- sumed though, that European heiresses will bring their wealth over here in or der to break into this kind of nobility, created by the grace of the Czar of the Philippines. These efforts will be fruitless, the French people will uphold their Repub lican government, and even the aid of the American-Franco nobility will not retard the progress of liberty, the vindi cation of Dieyfus and the overthrow of the imperialists.
