Why wAsunUns IS a CANDIDATE

WHY W.lSHBURN Is Il CANDIDATE
A good many have wondered why Mr.
Washburn was in such a hurry to go to Con
gress. Two years hence he could have un-
doubtedly secured the nomination without rid
ing over DR.. Stewart in an insulting and hu-
initiating manner. He might have obtained it
without resorting to bribery and corruption.
But he could not wait, and his home organ
the Minneapolis Lun1be7ua07a-thu ex-
plains why he was candidate this year:
The nomination of Gen. W. D. Washburn for
Congress is a matter over which every lumber
man can afford to rejoice. Their immediate
and direct interests involved in the proposed
legislation for the next to years. make it a mat
ter OF tlrst-class Importance to them to secure
an able and jealous advocate in the national
halls. The Canadians will continue to press
their schemes for wiping out the lumber busi-
ness In the Northwest through the fraud called
reciprocity. The rivers and harbors
are to be preserved and improved
The great project of the build
ing of reservoirs on the several streams must
be pushed on to their completion. The lumber
tariff on imported woods has to be watched
and defended. If the departments at Wash
lngton are to be occupied by such fellows as
Schurz. there is needed in Congress man who
will denounce his outrages. The important
matter of Interstate commerce is to be care
fully and thoroughly adjusted, and thousand
wrongs made right which do now most grievously
oppress the lumbermen in the distribution Of
their product. In these particulars and hun
dred other ways, have the lumbermen direct
interest, and for the discharge of all and sim
gular of these duties, there is no man in this
district more fully qualified than Gen. W. D..
Washburn, who is thoroughly identified with
the business and perfectly acquainted with all
its necessities. His nomination is largely due
| to the influence of the lumbermen of the dis
| trict, who rallied to his support with hardly a
| dissenting voice.
This explains it all; the indicted lumber
men ''can afford to rejoice Their pal has
| been selected as candidate for Congress.
Being partner in their steals, a fellow feel
ing will make him kind, and ssthat fellow
Schurz'' must walk the plank. Everybody
interested in stealing saw logs should rally to
Washburn's support. The timber thieves
have nominated Bill Washburn and now
they should stand by him. If they wish to
keep out of the penit entiary they must get
their pal to Congress.

DONNELLY rs WASHBURN,S CON-
PETTTOR.

r
To the Editor of the Globe.
Will you please explain to me what there is
in the rumor reported in Fridays GLOBE, of
Hon. l. Donnelly entering the field as an inde-
pendent candidate against Washburn in the
Third district. And can Donnelly, living in
the Second district, be returned to Congress
from the Third district. Yours, D.
There is good deal in the rumor. We
are not advised Of Mr.. Donnelley's inten-
tions in the matter, but we know that his
friends are urging him to take the field
against Washburn, and if he should do SO
there would be red hot canvass. Mr.. Don
nelly's residence being in the Second dis
trict is no obstacle whatever. It has grown
into custom to select Congressman from
the District wherein he resides, but there is
no legal or other obstacle to selecting Con
gressmen from any part of the State, regard
less of District boundaries. AS matter of
fact, though Mr.. Donnelly lives the other
side of the river from this District, his inter
ests are chiefly in the Third District. He

ITALY,S MISTdKE.

queer crisis is now upon the Italian gov
commotion, if not some bloodshed. The
plenipotentiaries of the kingdom went to
Berlin at the instance of the other powers,
and participated in the deliberations of the
congress, assisted in the partition of Turkey,
and gave their hearty assent to the provisions
of the treaty of Berlin. The idea never
seems to have entered their heads that Italy
was entitled to slice of the dismembered
nation. They allowed their fellow highway
men to appropriate all the loot, and returned
home without even the remotest suspicion
that they had been s'done'' out of their
rights. But there seems to have been a
sudden awakening. After the whole job has
been settled, they begin to think that they
should have demanded some small compen-
sation for their part in the work of the con-
gress, and this consciousness has been quick
from their constituents, which have already
amounted to riot and insubordination in sew
eral localities. They find that they ought to
have demanded that Austria, in consideration
of the acquisition of Bosnia and Herze-
govina, ought to have restored to Italy the
Tyrol, which of right belongs to her. The
little strip of country is not of
much value to Austria, and is dis
tinctively Italian in its characteristics.
1t is, besides, necessary to Italy to complete
a symmetrical confguration of her territorial
boundaries, and is undesirable to Austria on
the ground of it's giving lack of symmetry.
But these considerations come too late. If
they had been presented to the congress in
good season they might have had weight.
Italy, in not discovering till after the con-
gress had adjourned that she wanted some
thing, finds herself out very nice slice of
territory, and in consequence is very much
chagrined. But it is manifestly absurd to
attack the British embassy, as is threatened,
because of her own stupidity. Such pro-
ceeding would only compiicate affairs and
make the country still more ridiculous in the
sight of the world. Our advice to the Ital-
ians is that they pocket their chagrin and
keep awake the next tinno THAT the nations
administer on the estate of deceased po-
tentate. She may then secure her share of
the swag. ALI the "kicking" she may in
dulge in at present will not help her in the
least. It's tooilate to partake of the banquet
after the table has been cleared off.

An EnOCaa Arden story.

OswEGo, n. Y, Aug. 1l,-This place has q
very remarkable but entirely true story,
which is the general topic Of conversation.
In 1868 man named O'CUnner kept what Is
known Us the Gate Hill house, three miles
north OF OswegO. He was arrested in that
year, tried and convicted for passing coun-
terfet money, and sentenced to two years in
the State prison. He was married and had
two children. He never returned home, and
his wife, believing him dead, was married in
1869 to q shoemaker named Berry.

had grown up and married during his ab-
sence, lives Berry, coming home and find
ing out the situation, went to HorneiIsvile
He found his wife, asked her if she would 90

age. He is going to South America. He says
