The Aevati-Review. MINNESOTA, GRAND RAPIDS - All the world’s a stage and all the people thereon would rather play than work, The well-read man isn’t always the pink of perfection. Too many people perform their work after the style of machines, If you can’t get what you want be satisfied with what you can get. Poverty may be useful at times, but it is never in the ornamental class, Clothes do not make the man, but they sometimes make a monkey of him, Men sometimes denounce gossip, but not until they have listened to every word of it. It matters little if you are ignorant, for you will meet people daily who Know it all. The average girl never turns up her nose at the man who knows enough to turn down the gas. An elaborate tombstone and a con- tested will is about the only notoriety wealth brings to some men. The feathers do not make the song r but many a man has made a se of himself with a single quill. manner that their lack of meaning is concealed by the brilliant effect produced. together in such a peculiar The opening of the school year has been atteided by few reports of haz- ng, the barbarous method of welcom- ng freshmen that long prevailed in many lealing colleges and universi- ties. “Electric as we know it” is just a hundred years old. In 1799, the Italian scientist Volta gave definite form to the method of producing the current; and it is from his name that we have the term “volt-meter” to de- scribe the instrument which measures the force of the current, and ‘‘volt” as the unit of that measurement. We know several persons who would like to wait around and see what develop- ments along this line may be reached by the end of another century. American commercial alertness seems to have taken away the breath of those British merchants and com- mercial bodies that have been watch- ing the progress of the Philadelphia commercia: & ress. The complete collection of foreign samples gathered for the use of the home manufacturers has filled their minds with astonish- ment, and they are now urging the British board of trade to adopt similar measures. The British merchant must exhibit more activity and less indiffer- ence than he hitherto has done if he expects to regain any of the business taken away from him by the United States through superior enterprise. According to telegraphic reports frem Austin, Tex., at no time in its history has Texas ever had so many drouths as during the past summer and this fall. Every section of the state from the Panhandle to the gulf has been visited by a drouth. The outlook in most of the larger cities of central Texas is anything but promis- ing. Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Aus- tin and one or two other larger cities of the state are at present in the throes of a water famine. From points along the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad from the Indian. Territory down to Bastrop comes the announcement that there is a distressing scarcity of water. Reports, from the ranges say that cattle are dying for want of water and as there is little promise of eny reavy rains before December the sit- uation is grave. ai Before the passengers of the ctrand- ed steamer “Paris” separated, last spring, they presented to the officers and crew resolutions of thanks for the wonderful discipline, courage and un- failing helpfulness they had shown. After this had been voted, Baron Op- penheim, one of the wealthiest Jews of Europe, rose to his feet. The reso- iutions, he observed, included the cap- tain, the under-officers, the stewards, cooks and crew; but of the one to whom each directly owed his safety— of God—he had heard no mention. They were folk of many beliefs, gath- ered there. He would not even call for a spoken prayer, but he suggested that they bow their heads there in silent thankegiving to ine common Protector of them all. One is forcibly reminded of anothér shipwreck, nearly nineteen hundred years ago, when a Hebrew of the Hebrews, one Paul by name, gathered the Gentile soldiers and sailors about him to give thanks to the Ruler of the seas. A census “family” means the num- ber of people who are fed from the same pantry. A hotel, a boarding- school or a prison is a family in the eye of the census. Domestic servants are always counted as a part of the household with which they are living. This use of the term makes the aver- age size of the family in a town which happens to have a great institution unusually large, but in the long run it works out about even, since actual families must be reduced in number by so mach to supply the members of these inordinately large families. ei Sr eee RES EI A rane ce LSS > DR Oe SRI PRE SF rs Sr OA re RR OER ICORES Omen a ac en eo er ee ese ee mee oY Mee Ne ee aE OTE. ————— ANTITRUST TALK THE TWIN ISSUE WITH ANTI-IM- ,PERIALISM, FOR 1900.

But ‘tis past, and tho’ blazoned in story The name of our victor may be— Accursed is the march of that glory Which treads on the hearts of the free! Far dearer the grave, or the prison, Illumed by one patriot name, ‘Than the trophies of all who have risen On liberty’s ruin to fame. —Thomas Moore. Three striking political events have marked the past week, the first, the in- auguration of the non-partisan Minne- sota Anti-Imperialist movement, seat- ed, for the present, at Minneapolis, but to go into the whole state. Its head is Henry J. Fletcher, Esq., the ‘widely known attorney, a life-long Republican, with other Republicans and men who supported McKinley in the other of- ficial positions. For the coming mass meeting, expected to be held about Dec. 14, the expectation is to have 50 vice-presidents, from the most promi- nent men of Minneapolis, regardless of their party connection. This arousing of the American con- science is not more marked, however, than the movement, also in non-parti- san lines, against the trusts. This is likewise being launched in Minnesota, coming, as did the anti-imperialist movement, from €hicago, directed by Hon. R. W. Boddinghouse, secretary of the national executive committee. That gentleman has communicated with alarge number of Minnesotans, who will be invited to attend the com- ing conference at Chicago. The plan is to carry on this warfare by organiza- tions in all parts of the Northwest. The third event has been the sorrow- ful rallying of the goppites, to consider the straits they are in in Minnesota, the occasion being the return of Senator Knute Nelson from abroad. The oldest “political” inhabitant cannot recall such a gloomy gathering. In fact the three days of lugubriousness brought a terrible rain storm. The chief question was whether the resourceful Nelson could give them any light, any hope of success in Minnesota next year. And the resourceful Knute could not. In the first place, there was the miserably selfish course of Mr. Nelson, himself (to describe it as Republicans describe it) when, in the terrible crisis of the last campaign, Nelson took to the woods and devoted himself to the still hunt for the senate, leaving Eustis and the state ticket to their fate. What time Nelson could spare from personal beset- ments was given to squaring himself with Eustis and the rest for that act. He devoted a whole day’s session in the latter city to applying Nelson salve to the sores made by having refused to lift up his voice in the campaign for Webster. If report is true he made buat poor progress in all the many “sit- tings.” ~ Two interpretations aro put on Nel- son’s purposes, the one that he and the federal machinery, including Merriam, Powers, Fletcher, et al., is to be put into activity to make District Attorney R. G. Evans the Hanna’ candidate for Governor. The other is that the state management is to be returned to Bixby, Byrnes, Jamison, Powers and the rest who were displaced by the Steele- Eustis aggregation. Nelson met, for the one, the hostility of the many can- didates for Governor, and for the other, the deep-seated hatred of the old ma- chine, which for yegrs and years was able to muster only a bare majority for state candidates. . These matters and the awful pressure for placesin the census department here and elsewhere, made the junior senator’s home-coming anything but pleasant. He has left bad feeling be- cause of the shabby treatment of many, whom he dodged and turned down without remorse. He even snubbed the State Historical society, celebrating a semi-centennial, being on the pro- gramme for an important paper, in- volving his colleague, Senator Davis. in a weak fib. about ‘‘business” pre- venting Nelson’s presence. Senator Nelson, in interviews, shows that he favors militarism. He brings home to foreign born voters the sur- prising information that large standing armies are a good thing, and in the same breath approving our new policy in the Philippines, shows that he will be right in line with Hanna and Mc- Kinley for their bayonet government. German-American citizens will be astounded to be tcld by Senator Nelson that he found in Germany, where he studied the Kaiser’s military establish- ment thoroughly, that the Germans do not regard the army as a. burden, but are proud of it and look upon it “not as an economic drain,’* but as an “‘in- creaser of consumption and a reliever of the stress of population.” What will our German citizens say to this doctrine? But what else couid Min- nesota’s senator say, since on his ar- rival at Washington he will be called on to support an imperial policy of con- quest and subjugation? Our election summary of last week is more than vindicated by details. __ New York, Republican plurality less than Roosevelt's ant sonono ew than | 1 FAB) PRESSED New Jersey, Republican majority 60.000 less than 1896. : Pennsylvania, Republican majority reduced, and the Quay fraud producers getting into jail, one by one. Massachusetts, Republican majority 100,000 less than in 1895, and Boston won by a big majority. Kentucky, Republican majority wiped out, legislature and governor Democratic. Maryland, changed from 80,000 Re- publican in 1896 to 20,000 Democratic. Ohio, changed from Republican ma- jority of over 40,000 in 1896, and actual majority on governor in 1897, to a mi- nority of at least 50.000. Nebraska, well Nebraska has 14,000 on the right side, and her banner leads for 1900. Now see the states lead off for Bry- an’s unanimous renomination, ,Michi- gan leads. Under the trusts this government is an oligarchy and not a democratic re- public. Under both trusts and im- perialism the republic passes away and we will have but aprivileged monarchy. The Knights of Labor and the Na- tional Alliance have declared for the destruction of the trusts. Hopeful for the people is the fact that all elements of the New Democracy stand for death tothe trusts, Significant is the fact that Hanna on the stump defended them. National Watchman: ‘Hon. Charles A. Towne took a prominent part in the Nebraska campaign. Mr. Towneis one of the most brilliant and accomplished young men in America. Minnesota has reason to be prond of a son who _ is des- tined to attain great eminence in the councils of the nation.” Ina letter acknowledging congratu- lations from Minnesota, Mr. Bryan writes: ‘‘Mr. Towne did our cause a great deal of good, and won the hearts of our people.” Senator C. K. Davis could not forego aword for the McKinley “assimilation” in his Historical society address. And so fitting, since no man in the nation is probably more responsible ‘for the bloody work in the Philippines. Appeal to Reason: ‘‘Mr. Hanna says he is not afraid of trusts! Nor is the king afraid of monarchy. This assur- ance of Mr. Hanna ought to settle the trust agitation at once.” And stilla few well meaning men continue to urge McKinley to interfere in the South African war on a republic. How foolish. McKinley is too busy hunting for Aguinaldo, the man who would found a republic. Besides, the Boers are doing pretty well taking care of themselves. If you | don’t think so ask Sir George White. Hon. George N. Lamphere of Moor- head informs the Bureau that no one ‘can too fully emphasize what the Lind administration has accomplished in in- spection reform to this point. Speak- ing for his region of the state, where the wrongs of the farmers were voiced by public action last year, in protests of far-reaching effect, Mr. Lamphere says that he has not heard one single complaint of present grading and in- spection from the farmers. Oaly the grain buyers have complained, and their complaints, few in number, have been shown to be unfounded, and Mr. | Lamphere considers it very significant that the Republican press voice such complaints, snowing, asit does that after all their interest is in the dealers instead of the farmers. Finding absolutely no ground for criticism of grain grading, all that Re- publicans can say is that there has been a loosening of grading, so that the Min- nesota certificate doesn’t mean anything. All of which is absolutely si ly, tor the reason that Minnesota wheat, as before, sells by sample in the large markets at a premium. It is funny how much has been made of Public Examiner Pope’s case by the goppite press which has been thrown into conniptions from transactions in- volving a picayune sum, when thou- sands of dollars involved in the case of Republican Kenyon called out no com- ments from this over-virtuous press. If it should appear at the end of fuil knowledge of all the facts that there has been anything done by General Pope that might reflect on his official character or impair his influence as a public official, it can be safe.y predicted that it will receive the proper a.tenuiou of Governor Lind. A distinction without a difference: Cleveland sold bonds to help the syn li- cates, McKinley buys them to help the speculators. All of our friends in the state, it is believed, will rejoice that General C. McC. Reeve has been unanimousiy chosen by the board of state prison managers to succeed Henry Wolfer, warden, resigned, the latter closing a long career in prison service to enter a large manufacturing business in St. Paul. Under the influence of the state ad- ministration following its pledge of re- form, the administration of Warden Wolfer for the past few months has been admirable, and with special atten- tion given to the twiue depar._. _ we It believed that nota pound of twine has been diverted from the state’s pur- pose of benefitting the farmer, by- that part of the institution. General Reeve will bring to the posi-' ing theirs the winning side. tion business ability, good judgment, general fitness and special knowledge of men, with great experience as a dis- ciplinarian, and it is believed that he will make an excellent warden. Goy- ernor Lind is well satisfied with the ac- tion of the board, and that the general will make an efficient officer, and that the binder plant specially will be man- aged for the benetit of the grain grow- ers of the state, G.8.c. | complaints of the farmers have ceased, | Maseru, | i LADYSMITH * BOMBARDED NIGHT AND DAY, Boers Are Repeating the Tactics Employed at Dundee—Farther Re- tiring on Mooi River Not Unlike- ly, Owing to the Impossibility of Relief Arriving for Several Days —Evident That Gen. Baller Has Entirely Changed His Mysterious Movements Plans— of Free Staters, London, Noy. 19.—Special dispatches from Pietermaritzburg and Lourenzo Marques say that Ladysmith is bom- barded night and day and _ hard pressed. On Noy. 9, having during the night placed men close to the town, the Beers, after a heavy bombardment, began an assault, but were repulsed at evcry point with heavy losses. The Boers have destroyed one of the bridges over the Tugela river. -0- London, Nov. 19. — The absence of news of any serious movement against Ladysmith seems to show that the Boers are repeating the strategy adopt- ed by them at Dundee, when they ap- peared in front and endeavored to ef- fect a surrounding movement. This seems to have been their object re- garding Estcourt, and since it is im- possible that relief should reach for some days to come, it is not unlikely that a further retiring movement on Mooi river will be made. Maj. Wolfe-Murray has returned to Pietermaritzburg to e command of the line of communication and Col. Long, of the Royal artillery, has taken command at Estcourt. ‘The forces now at Pietermaritzburg are too weak to attempt to reopen communications. Artillery and cavalry especially are badly reeded. , Ne From the difficulty expetienced in concentrating divisions at the original points, it seems clear that the plans of Gen. Buller has been entirely changed. Not the slightest word regarding the new plans have been allowed to es- eape. The first object was supposed to be the sending of a British column to relieve Kimberley, but this seems in- correct, all the accounts regarding the movement at present in the light of a reconnoissance. It seems, however, that arrangements for an advance from Durban are In a Forward State if an advance has not already: com- menced. Kimberley was all right on Friday, Noy. 10. | The burghers at Aliwalncrth have hoisted the flag of the Orange Tree State and declared the town in the possession of the Freé’!’g95"eaéh at 12 per cent interest, with State. There are reliable reports jot mysterious movemeuts of Free State’ commandoes along the Orange river and important developments are ex- pected. Everything tends to show that the relief of Kimberley could only be safely undertaken by a strong col- umn. Lourenzo Marques continues to send Joubert stories, the latest being that no news has been received from him at Pretoria for three days, and that it was rumored that he was a prisoner. It is announced that» the duke of Connawght was among the first to seek eniployment in the war, and even of- fered to. waive his seniority for this purpose, but it w not deemed ex- pedient that an officer so senior to Sir Reevers Buller should serve under him. The duke was greatly disap- pointed, Guarded by Germans. Durban, Noy. 19.—A gentleman who was arrested at Johannesburg, taken to Pretor.n and released, has arrived here via Delagoa Bay. While at Pre- toria he was confined on the race with the military prisoners, ing 52 officers and 1,705 non- issioned officers and men from Natal; 10 officers and 25 non-commis- sioned officers and men from Mafeking and 4 men from Fort Tuli. The pris- oners’ guards were almost exclusively Germans, and the artillerymen man- ning the forts were also mostly Ger- mans. The prisoners were well fed and were shown every consideration. Most of tlie otticers we&e removed to more comfortable quarters in the town. To Intercept British Advance. London, Nov. 19.—A patch from Lourenzo Marques says: “A Pretoria newspaper announced last Wednesday that 4,000 burghers had left Gen. Jou- bért’s force arcund Ladysmith to join Commandant Bothna’s fcrce near Est- court with a view to assisting to in- tercept the British advance to the re- lief of Ladysmith. Gen. Lucas Moyer, the Free State commander, has as- serted in the course of an interview that he is convinced the battle at Elandslaagte will be the first and last Boer defeat of the year.” More Troops Arrive. London, Nov. 19.—The admiralty an- rounced last evening the arrival at Cape Town yesterday of the troopship Aursria with a battery of artillery and the . Scott's Highlanders (Princess Louise's) regiment, bringing the rein- foreements up to 13,500, of which 7,- 400 have already disembarked at Dur- ban with eighteen field guns, a num- ber of machine guns, engineers and hospital corps, as well as 700 mules. The force, with that already between Estcourt and Durban, is considered sufficient to enable Gen. Hildyard to advance and to take the aggressive agaivst the Boers south of Ladysmith. Natives Will Join Boers, Londen, Noy. 19 — Advices from Basutoland, dated Nov. 8, say that Chief Joet, terrorized by false Boer assertions that the British have been beaten in every engagement, and are being driven out of South Africa, is preparing to join the Boers, believ- ‘The Boers are said to have supplied nim with guns, which they have accom- panied with specious promises. - Death Cheats the Hangman.
