ocratic party does this fall what
would in the future be economy, save
neither effort nor will, in the respective
counties throughout the state, we can then
give Biermann a majority that must be
written by five figures; majority that
will place in the gubernatorial chair man
that will crush the prohibition measure
which the Republican party has Endorsed; !;
a man who will not consult his own inter
est frst-as Governor Hubbard did when
he played "frst base" in the defeat of W.
Window; ian act against the will and
wishes, of majority of the Scandinavian
people in the state of Minnesota) a man
that will not make appointments to Office
for his own personal benefit regardless of
the interest and desire of the citizens of
Minnesota;-as Hubbard did when he ap-
pointed Castle for oil inspector.
But on the other hand a man, meaning
Beirmann, that we have every reason to
believe, will TO the best of his ability
promote the general welfare and pros
perity of the state of Minnesota.
Owing to such errors as I have men
toned and many more that 1 have not
mentioned, made by Mr.. Hubbard and the
Republican leaders under Mr.. Hubbard's
administration, it is that the Scandina-
vians are beginning to open their eyes to
the fact that they have kept company with
the Republican party to point where
their interest and their principles take a
different if not directly opposite course
from that toward which the Republican
party is Enthusiastically drifting.
One thing is certain, neither of ths per-
ceptible tendencies of the Republican
party, namely, "None but native Ameri-
cans on deck" nor prohibitory legislation
will find favor with any citizen of Scandi-
navian birth or descent. Yours,

A FATAL FREAK.
a / little Boy Killed with Whisky by a
Drunken Pair in Chicago.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.1

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-An inquest was held
yesterday by the coroner on the body of a
child who died under cruelty distressing
circumstances. A lewd woman and her
paramour, in continuing nights debauch.
induced little boy not five years old to
drink some of the vile whisky in which
few hours he died of the effects in great
agony. The coroner's Investigations re-
vealed that Annie Ferguson, an aban-
doned woman, rents two rooms at 1876
West Lake street. one of which she al
lowed Mrs. Kate Rice to occupy with her
two children, Frank boy of four years
and five months of age, and a younger
girl. James Rice, the husband and father,
is prisoner in the comfy Jail on the
charge OF burglary, and being without
means, tha Ferguson woman allowed the
family to remain in the room pending
the husband's trial. Annie Ferguson tes-
titled at tie inquest that she had spent
Wednesday night with man named A..
M. Mitchell, and awakening a
little before noon Thursday, entered
Mrs. Rices apartment and asked her to
go for ten cents worth of whisky.
A little while after the bottle was repIen-
ished and little Frank, entering the room,
was given drink. A third and fourth
bottle were procured, from which the child
drank and once the little girl was given a
drink. Frank became very drunk and the
Ferguson woman placed him on the bed i.
He turned pale as a corpse, and getting
frightened, the woman told the mother to
go for a physician. DR.. Kernahan was
then called and gave the child some medi-
cine. The boy was then in deep stupor,
from which he did not
recover until 10 o'clock that
night. The next morning the child was
taken WITH spasms and died at 1 O'Clock in
the Afternoon. Mrs. Rice, the mother of
the deceased, testified that few days be-
fore Annie Ferguson had taken her to task
for telling hackman named Dan O'Con-
nor something about her, and while the
ferguson woman allowed her to remain in
the house she was threatened with eject
ment as soon as her husband should be re-
leased from Jail.
Mrs Rice thought the Ferguson woman
"begrudged her her child. She
saw the child given the liquor, but did not
protest as she was afraid of Annie Fergu-
son and thought she would be put out of
the house Or assaulted if she objected. DR..
Kernahan testified that the child's death
was from the effects of the whisky. The
coronor's jury returned. verdict that the
death wes caused from an overdose of
whisky, and recommended that Mrs. Fer
guson and Mitchell, who is follower of
circuses and fairs, be held to the grand
iury. Both are under arrest.

SENATOR BAYABD TALKS.

WHEELING, W. Va, Oct. 14.-In an inter-
view at the residence of Charles James
Faulkner, at Martinsburg, Berkley county,
Senator Bayard of Delaware said, when
asked for an opinion as to the chances of
Democratic success next year: "The pros
pect is most favorable. The Democratic
party is on the eve of brilliant triumph.
The result in Ohio foreshadows this with
out doubt, even If Judge Foraker had
been elected we would not have been much
ieopardized, but a Democratic triumph
after such great exertions had been put
forth by the Republicans puts Ohio in the
Democratic ranks, and places the election
of our candidate beyond the shadow of a
doubt.'
gs"What do you think of Governor Buffers
chances of becoming the Democratic
standard bearer?"
"Butler has no chances. He is not a
man to be trusted. The Democratic par
ty has no use for the leadership of an
apostate-a man Who for fifteen years
was one of the most fanatical Republicans
in the country"
ssYou do not admire him, them"
"How can I admire such man? When
the Democratic party needed every vote
Butler turned traitor. Now when we who
have borne the heat and burden Of the day
see victory almost within our grasp he
seeks to crawl back into the ranks that he
may seize on some of the emoluments o1
Office. The local interests of Massachu-
setts may demand leader of that stripe
but the national Democratic party does
not. It does not trust the man who ap
piled the knife of treachery in 1850. Ht
would stab the party again in the back il
o,casion offered"

Pal1perizinp Veterans.

The article in yesterdays Argus under
the heading "Stigmatizing Ex-Union Sol
diers as Paupers,'' is wide of the mark.
The old law gave no security to the impov-
erished veteran. 1t deprived him of rights
or privileges possessed by every other citizen,
Under that law every citizen, unless he was
a soldier in the war of the rebellion, had q
pauper settlement. In case he fell into
poverty the town in which he established a
residence was forced to support him. Thus
the editor OF the Argus had a pauper settle
ment in Deering. The editor of the PRESS
had pauper settlement in Portland. The
richest man in the city had the same. If
one of these came to want the city or town
in which he resided was obliged to support
him. The only exceptions were the men
who served in the Union armies. Towns
and cities were not obliged to care for them.
This state of affairs came about by legisa-
tive blunder and with no intention of mall
ice. The amendment upon which the Ar
gus comments was designed to and does rec
tify the blunder, placing veterans of the civ
II war upon the same footing as other folks.
1t does not make them paupers. 1t simply
provides that in case they come to want
they shall be entitled, like the rest of us, to
support by the towns in which they live.
The Argus article is an attempt to poison
the minds of Union veterans. The SYM
pathy for soldiers now manifested by our
morning contemporary would have been
more useful and less suspicious had it come
twenty years ago.

Old England in d Bad Way.
Rufus Hatch in the Chicago Tribune.
In looking over the condition of af-
fairs in England | find that it is the
same old story again, of too many peo-
pie to the acreage. England has 49,
600 square miles of territory ana 34,-
600, 900 of people. The land is owned
by very few proprietors and they too
own the people. This land has TO sup
port the royal family-always largely
on the increase-all the mobiles, and the
church with its train of archbishops
and bishops, many of whom'receive sal
aries of from S50,aO0 to $75, 900 year.
And so the rent, the tithes and the tax
es run up as high as $50 the acre on the
land. One year of such expenditure
on ore hundred acres of land would
bny Il freehold of the best lands in the
great Northwest. Can any country on
earth stand this ? Something has got
TO bend or break.
