much OF the truth. Minnesota men are be-
ginning to find him out and before long our
people will find him out. There is no use in
calling him Minnesota man, as he has not
lived there in decade. His interests lay In
different directions. His mansion in this city
indicates that he has quit Minnesota. 1t is
said to have cost over $4,000 and one bay
window in it over $1,000. The question
arises where and how did ne manage to become
SO wealthy. The way he has treated many of
our people is perfectly shameful aud for one

4 FEW PLAIN POINTS PLAINLY
STATED.

There are certain papers and politicians
in Minnesota who have made it their
stock in trade for the past twenty years
to accuse allof their opponents of venali-
ty, corruption and all kinds of rascality.
1t is popularity of this gang of de-
famers that they will work in harmony
with men as long as they can use them,
but the moment any one steps out of
their charmed circle he becomes villain
of the deepest dye and no crimes are too
severe to be imputed to him.
That there may be no mistaking our
meaning, we may state that the Pioneer
Press stands as the representative news
paper Of the gang, with few syco-
phantic ours as tail piece, and the poll
ticians are represented by the Ramsey
ard Window dynasties. Though ex-
Senator Ramsey is politically dead, so far
as Minnesota is concerned, and is now
receiving an annual salary of $1,000 to
live with the Mormons, the dynasty
which he represented lives after him.
The Window regime is in full force with
the Senator at its head and the old Ram
sey crowd and present Window gang
affiliate thoroughly. This is partly due
to the fact that they began political life
together over twenty years ago and have
hunted in couples ever since. 1t is more
especially due to the fact that they have
both been so uniformly engaged in polit-
ical corruption and so in the habit of en-
rlching themselves at the public expense,
that fellow feeling makes them Won
drous kind.
There is probably no state in the Union
which was ever cursed by more unprin-
cipled men and politicians than Mime
sofa has been by these dynasties and their
newspaper supporters.
1t is curious to follow their tergiversa-
tions and show their uniform style of
conducting business. Without going
into the merits or dement's of the indi-
viduals we cite few instances.
Take Mr.. Donnelly fer example: So
long as he was a subordinate in the RAM
sey column no words of praise were too
great. He was the model among men
and politicians. The moment he had as
pirations of his own he became the tar
get for denunciation as the embodiment
of all that is corrupt and rascally. After
a year or two of such proceedings there
was talk that Mr.. Donnelly was willing
to return to the fold and accept a DO
sition which would not preclude Mr..
Ramsey remaining in the senate. Then
all was once more lovely, and Mr.. Dom
nelly was again the model man and poll
tician.s But the programme failed and
instantly Mr.. Donnelly was transformed
into apolitical monster and has remained
so ever Since
A few years ago Mr.. Dunnell was sup
posed to be in the way of Senator Win
dom, just as Mr. Donnelly was in the
way of Senator Ramsey, and MIR.
Dunnell was accordingly marked

Retaing on the Scandinavian Vote.
Fargo Argus

The Hon. s. G. Comstock was interviewed
by GLOBE reporter in st. Paul, the other
day, and is quoted, when asked what will be
the result, as follows: s'The result will be
that Mr.. Nelson will be elected member of
congress by an overwhelming majority.
Knute Nelson is certain of an cleo
ton. n Nearly one half of the voters
are Scardinavians, who will mostly support
their countryman-the Hon. Knute Nelson.''
This is the charge repeatedly made, that Kuute
Nelson was running solely upon the theory
that he was Scandinavian, and therefore one
of the Lords self-annointed.

Then, too, there is the model organ,
which never grinds tune except for
cash, shouting itself purple in the face in
behalf of virtue and honesty in politics.
1t is matter of historical record that
Senator Window paid $50, 900 cash for the
support of the Press in senatorial cam
paign few years ago. The payment
was not only admitted but defended by
the venal sheet which accepted the
money. The confession stands in their
files to-day as monument TO the colossal
infamy of the scoundrels who are leading
in the howl against corruption in the
present campaign.
These are some of the men who are
favoring the public with columns of
platitudes on morally, and if God in his
infinite wisdom ever allowed a more ut
terly depraved and conscienceless gang to
exist, it must have been at period of the
world concerning which even traditions
have not reached us. The flood which
left only Noah to tell the tale, and the
ruins of Sodom and Gonorrah furnish in
stances of punishment sent for a less
degree of moral turpitude than that of
the gang who are now assuming to be
censors in Minnesota. If justice ever
overtakes them, history will not only be
obliged to repeat itself, but double the
dose.

What a Pint of Manure Did.

A Wisconsin farmer sends this eX-
perience to the American Agricm-
tTiSt: Last year, in hauling yard
manure across a field afterwards
planted to corn, some of it scattered
off in driblets-from a handful to
pint or so in place. When planting
the corn [ found portions of these
droppingS, and where noticed drew
them into the hills, and with the hoe
mixed them little with the soil as
the seed was dropped. In three in
stances, where a large handful or
about pint Of the manure was thus
put in, stick was driven down to
mark the hills. When hoeing, we
noticed that in these hills the corn
plants had started off more vigorous
ly, were greener, and at the third
hOeing they were six to twelve inches
higher than the other hills adjoining.
Our curiosity being awakened we
followed up the observations, and
when gathering the crop each of the
three stalks in the three hills had two
large plump ears, while the surround
ing corn did not average one good ear
to the stalk. This set us to thinking
and figuring. That bit of manure had
given the young corn roots a vigOr-
Gus start, just as good feed starts offa
young calf. or pig, or lamb, and the
roots penetrated further in every
direction and gather more food and
moisture. These stalks being better
nourished from below, ran far away
from the poorly feed neighbors. AS
to the figures, the rows were three
and a half feet apart, and the hills
three feet distant in the rows, say
1000 pints on an acre, and 1000 pintS
of manure is about sixty-tWO and a
haIfbushelS or two large wagon loads.
Anybody can reckon the difference
between six large, well-flled ears of
corn on each hill, and less than three
per hill, and the cost of the manure
as compared with the total value Of
the final crop. The pIowing, and the
seed, and the hoeing, amount to the
same in each case. All / have to say
is, that every corn.hill planted on my
farm this year will have at least ii
pint of manure in it,"

Accumulation of Small Amounts.

The London Economist calls atten-
ti0n to the fact that the fractions of
penny which the Bank of England
has saved in its payments OfdiVidends
on the part of the national debt en-
trusted to its care by holders-it al
ways having been the practice to
reckon such fractions in its own favor
have now accumulated TO the as
tonishing sum of $7l6,3 The Econ
omi@ cites this case as an illustration
of the power of accumulation of small
amounts. AS such it is most forcible,
and it ought to encourage saying
among the people, however trifling
the amount persons in poor circum-
stances may be able to lay by each
day or week. 1t suggests, too, the
wisdom of the British government in
providing postal facilities for the con-
venience Of the people in saving small
sums, provision being made by the
stamp system for the reception of
pennydeposits. Theamount of wealth
in England has steadily increased as
the result of the encouragement of
small savings among the people, the
deposits in the Postal Savings Bank
haying increased S12, 100000 during
1881. Such encouragement is much
needed among the people of the Uni
ted States, one of whose greatest faults
is wastefulness and extravaganza.

A Remarkable Duel.

Speaking Of Dick Winship recalls
his famous duel with the Frenchman
at Marseilles. Dick was then second
lieutenant Of our Scorpion, stationed
there at the time, and, as usual, kept
the whole fleet and half the town on
nettles through his endless practical
jokes. The slang expression for
Frenchmen in those days was "frog-
eaters" and the wife of a French
captain of militia haying presented
her lord with twins, Dick had the
nerve to tender the happy father, at
public banquet, a stuffed group con-
sisting of big frog holding on its
knee a couple of smaller ones. OF
course there was a challenge, and
when the captains seconds appeared
Winship, as the challenged party,
graveIy insisted on the duel being
fought in the dark, with pistols, one
shot only being allowed each man.
This new addition to the code made
terrible stir, but as Dick held firm
the Frenchman was finally forced
to submit. On the appointed day,
after dinner the principals were
