Joel Chandler Harris confirms the
assertion that the negroes OF the South
know little about the banjo. 1t is not
only difficult, but impossible, to dis
place the banio-playing stage negro i'll
literature with the real negro. II is
not only So at the North. but in u great
measure mt the South. The first song
Mr.. Harris ever learned was a string Of
nonsense with the chorus, I'm gwine
to Alabama wild my banjo on my knee"
There was another in which Il negro,
who was supposed to have lost his
Nelly Gray, declared he would take
his banjo down and sing little song
Nelly, in the meantime, was down i'll
Georgia "a-toiling in the cotton and the
cane These songs and hundreds Of
similar ones were written by white men
who knew even less about The negroes
than they did about meter; but the
ditties We're sung all over the country,
and there was nobody in the South un-
willing to laugh good-humoredly ut the
idea Of negro toiling in the cane of
Georgia, where none il grown. The
banjo Mr. Harris has never seen II
plantation negro play. He has heard
negroes passably use the fiddle, the
flute, and the fife, and blow tin trum-
pet with surprising skill, but never
heard them play Il banjo, II tanhorine,
or pair of bones.

STATE POLITICS.
En-. Donneuu at !shakopee.

Especial Correspondence of the Globe.
SHtYoPEE, Oct. 6.-The Hon. Ignatius
Dom ely, candidate for congress from this
district, made one Of his campaign speeches
this evening in Rings hall. Mr.. Dounelly
was eloquently introduced by Julius A.
Collier, member of the Democratic district
committee. Mr.. Donnelly stepped to the
front amid cheers and spoke for two hours
to one of the largest audiences ever gathered
together in Shakopee. Mr.. Donnelly COM
menced by saying that he was here ''to beard
the lion in his den,' and then answered Mr..
Chewning's charges in one Of the Shakopee
papers, in complete and overwhelming
manner.
During Mr.. Donnelly's speech he was
loudly applauded. showing conclusiyely that
he has many warm supporters in Major
Straits own town. One of Major Straits
smart men continued to interrupt Mr.. DON
nelly until the police came forward to put
him out, but Mr.. Donnelly asked that the
gentleman(?) be allowed to remain and that
she would convert him before he got
through;'' and in less than ten minutes he
was heard to say ''that's so, Mr.. Donnelly."
It turned out that he was Straits head
miller, but although full OF insulting remarks
at first he was clapping his hands and stamp
ing his feet before Mr.. DoHnelly finished.
The effect of the speech was magical. Even
men who lad put on Strait badges to at
tend the meeting took them off and avowed
their purpose to vote for Mr.. Donnelly.
Quite number of Republican business
men in shakopee are supporting Donnelly,
while the Irish vote, which has heretofore
been largely given to Strait, is solid and en-
thusiastc for Donnelly all over the county.
The Republican Germans have nearly all
left the Republican party, and the best
posted politicians claim that if the full vote
| is brought out Cleveland and Hendricks will
nave 200 majority in Scott county, and Mr..
Donneliy win not fall much, IL any, behind
them; for he will get enough votes Of Blaine
and Logan farmers to make up for the loss
OF such Democrats as may vote for Strait for
personal friendship.
| Mr.. DonneIly made one strong point this
evening that was loudly applauded. He
said: II have not in This can sass uttered one

should be glad to divide time with any
decent representative of Major Strait. But
they dare not face ne; they utter their false
hoods at long range when / am unable to be
present to reply to them. Such canvass is
not fair. It is not honorable. 1t is dis
grace to the man in whose interest It is
| made It is cowardly. It will cost Major
Strait hundreds Of votes. To follow a man,
night after night, simply TO lie about him be-
hind his back, disgusts ali men who love fair

Missouri River Commission.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. THE Missouri river
commission, consisting of Major Suffer-
president, Majors Mckenzie and Ernst and
Messrs. Broadhead and Brotch, met here
to-day to consider the plans Of work Lieut..
Fisk, OF the engineer corps, who has been
made secretary Of the board, arrived to-day
from Galveston and assumed his duties. At
previous meeting Major Suter's general
plan of operations was adopted. This is
to bring the Missouri to a uniform width
strengthen the banks and reclaim the low
lands over which the river usually spreads.
The work of the commission is confined to
that part of the river below Sioux City, and
the width below Kansas City is 1900 feet
wide; above that point 1t viii be less. No
details have been determined upon,
nor will be until the commission
has examined the field of their work.
The entire commission will leave
for Kansas City tomorrow, where they will
examine the plans proposed to protect the
banks of the river there. Ex-Mayor Bullen,
of Kansas City, and DR.. Arthur, Of Wyan-
dotte, Kas., were before the commissioners,
and drew their special attention to several
points where the river is making serious in
roads, greatly injurious TO the interests they
represent. No actual work will be done un-
til the commissioners return and formulate
definite plans.

Stealing Scarf Pins.

Gus Flush, a fourteen year old bell boy,
almost dead with the heart disease, took sew
eral valuable scarf pins from the room of a
New York commercial man at the Merchants
hotel yesterday, and with his brother was
preparing to leave for New York on an even
ing train when with an older bell boy he was
arrested and taken to the city hall on sus-
picion. Here the older boy stoutly main
tanned his innocence, and after being piled
by Detective John O'Connor, Gus owned to
taking the pins, was taken to
the vicinity of the hotel and let
loose and shortly after appeared with
the missing property which he had planted.
He was so sickly and miserable that after he
gave up his plant the owner and the detective
thought best to let him go free, that he might
get out of town. The other lad therefore was
released from espionage at the city hall,
where late in the evening Gus has not put in
appearance to claim lot of crackers and
grapes he had provided for his New York
journey, and which he had in his arms at the
time of his arrest.
