Shakopee Argus.
On Friday last the Third district Demo-
cratic convention unanimously nominated
Ignatius Donnelly for Congress. From the
time w. D. Washburn was nominated by
the Republicans, the Argus has urgently adj
vocated the nomination of Mr.. Donnelly,
His nomination was not desired that he
might seek revenge on his old enemy; but
because we thought there was no other per-
son who could combine the conflicting e!e-
ments in the Third district so well as Igna-
thus Donnelly.
Between the Workingmen's, National,
Greenback and Democratic parties, there IS
but little that is at variance. They all will
unite on Mr.. Donnelly as their standard
bearer. In him is centered all their inter
ests. Several years ago he joined the Dem
ocratic party, and ever since has been an &C
tive member Never has the CIR enback
party had more persistent and able adyo-
cate than Ignatius Donnelly; while he ever
has been the open and acknowledged friend
of the workingman. 1t will, of course, be
understood that there is no inconsist-
ency in being, at the same time.
fore remarked, there is but little at variance
between them: their vital principles are the
same, and, indeed, all over the Union these
two great parties have united and are lead
ing on to glorious victory. AS to the
Workingmen, Democracy has always been
their friend and champion, consequently
their union is but natural.
Although for the past eight years the
Third district has been represented in Con-
gress by Republican, it is not strong
Republican district. Two years ago, Stew
arts majority was just 2,096, consequently
a change of 1,049 votes in favor of Donne!iy
will secure his election. Is not, then, his
election assured? Cannot the four parties
united, and with such leader, defeat the
white-gloved aristocrat, w. d. Washburn!
Most assuredty they can and will defeat him,
and Minnesota, following the noble example
set by Maine. will send to Congress two
Democratic Greenback Representatives

RELIEF OF THE POOR.
How the Society Having This Work in
Charge is Doing.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The interest you manifested in the early
organization of the society for the relief of
the poor, by furnishing much valuable infor-
nation in regard to the practical working of
similar organizations in England, encourages
us to believe that you will be interested in
the progress of the work in this city.
Archbishop Whateley says that 'of all
questions that were ever debated by man,
there is no subject on which first impress
sions are SO likely to be corrected CT modified
by experience and reflection as that relating
to the best manner of caring for the poor"
This has been emphaticalIy verified in the
past ten years. experience of our society.
When we hear man like the
late Edward Denison, who gave
his days and nights to the poor, and labored
and lived among them, say. 81 am beginning
seriously to believe that all bodily aid to the
poor is mistake, and that the real thing is
to let things work themselves straight :
whereas by giving aims, you keep them per-
manently crooked;'' or, ''Charity, too IS a
frightful evil-not real charity, but sub
scription charity" We may well hesitate to
yield to the impulse, natural and kindly, but
often mistaken, which prompts to liberal
grants of bodily aid.
Perhaps this subject CIhe treatment of the
Poor, has never been more intelligent1y and
thoroughly canvassed than by the commits
sion appointed for that purpose some two
years since by the authorities of Boston,
and it will be seen by their late
report that they arrived at the same
conclusion that the venerable Josiah Quincy
did more than half a century ago, s'the
principles of which," he says, being the re-
suits of the experience of both England and
Massachusetts were as follows
'Ihat of all modes of providing for the
poor, the most was.eful, the most expensive,
and most injurious to their morals and des-
tructive of their industrious habits is that of
supply in their own families and s:that of
all causes of pauperism, intemperance in the
use of spirituous liquors is the most power
full and universal
Now when it is remembered that between
two and three hundred families have thus
been regularl aided, the whole or part OF
them for years in this city, it will easily be
seen that our society has no small
work to do in it's efforts tc
counteract the evils resulting from
such a system, and not only preventing
others from falling under its baleful infu-
ence, but whenever it is possible to induce
and assist those who already have to rise
above it. This, in short, is the great work
Of our society among our own poor-a work
i'll which it has been more than usually sue
cessful the past year.
AS anything like history of our work
among the Inherent poor and tramps would
occupy too much space in your valuable col
unns. we will leave it for a future article.

the crowd. The horse, after the collision,

broken tug letting them down. After
throwing Mace out the sulky righted itself,
the horse driving all before her. The four

DUBUQUE RACES.

Good Races But Not a Financial Success-A
Remarkable Contest in the Free For ALI
The Accident to Dan Mace,
The Dubuque racing meeting, the second
of the Great Western Circuit, closed Friday.
Considering the unusually large and fine
field of horses participating in the various
events, embracing all the great trotting cele-
brities of the country, direct from the ST.
Paul and Minneapolis meetings, there was
not the attendance there should have been,
and the meeting was not the financial sue
cess its managers had a right to expect. The
fastest heat OF the meeting was made Friday,
the closing day, by Edwin Forrest, the pres
ent wonder, and by many believed the
coming king of the turf, the half being
made in 1909 and the full mile in
2:204, quarter of second better
than the best heat of Rarus on the same
track. The most holly contested race of
the entire season, either East, West, North,
OF South, was the free-for-all, the closing
event of the last day. The contestants were
Little Fred, Adelaide, Lucille, Great Eastern
and Albemarle, and it took eight heats to
decide the race. The exciting situations in
the race will be readily appreciated from an
examination of the following summary:

n Dripping Net Blanket for Senator
Blaine,
New York Herald.
The Maine election extinguishes Mr..
Blaine's chances, such as they were, for the
Republican nomination in 1880. Consider
ing the use that could have been made of the
Mulligan letters, his chances were not very
good at best Nothing is left of them now,
since it is regarded as indispensable that
Presidential candidate be able to carry his
own State. Mr. Blaine has too much quick
ness of perception not to see both where he
stands personally and how slender the pros
pect is of the election of a Republican Pres
ident in 1880. The nomination would be
worth nothing to him if he could get it, and
it would be equally worthless to any other
Republican candidate, with the possible ex-
ception of Gen. Grant. There will be no
very ardent competition for the honor of
being nominated and defeated; and Blaine,
Conkling, Washburne and all the rest will
cheerfully give place to Gen. Grant if he can
be induced to run. It is too obvious that
unless he can be elected no Republican can,
and Senator Blaine is likely to be as strong
Grant man as any member Of the Republican

Planting In the n uItry Yard.

Last fall we visited an orchard in which
fowls were kept, the owner of which told us
that before the fowls were confined in it, the
trees made little or no growth, and only a cor
responding amount of fruit was obtained But
what change was evident now. The new
grass was kept down, the weeds killed, and the
trees presented an appearance of thrift which
the most enthusiastic horticulturiss could not
but admire and envy. The growth of the trees
luxuriant. The fruit was abundant of large
size, and free from worms and other imperfec-
tons. This excellence was accounted for by
the proprietor, who remoked that the "hens ate
all the worms and curculio in their reach even
the canker worm.' He found less trouble with
their roosting In trees than he expected, and
that picket fence, six feet high. kept them
within bounds. His orchard was divided into
three sections, and the fowls were changed
from one TO another, as the condition of the
fowls or the orchard section seemed to require.
