one of them states that they have no idea
of asking the president to make special
mention of the canal in his annual mes

upon him in reference to the matter, but
have conversed with others whose recon-

gress, and at the proper time may have a
talk with the president. 1t is possible
that he may regard the question suffi-

The Evening Gazette, of Sterling. last
Saturday had half column of attempted
ridicule of the Hennepin canal project
The advantages of the canal have been so
frequently. fully and incontrovertihly dis,
cussed that we should be sorry to sup
pose the Gazette editor so thick skulled
as he would necessarily be, were his re-
marks made in sincerity. He is perfectly
well aware that the delay in the passage
of the canal bill in congress- is through
no lack of merit in :he measure; but is
occasi0ned solely by the organized oppo>
sitlOu Of parties interested IN preventing
the low railroad fTeights which such an
avenue would compel The reason of the
Gazette'S opposition is very well under
stuou, and is excusable in one so blind
that he cannot see in the prosperity of
the entire northwest the prosperity of his
own town is assured; but who is afraid
that with a navigable feeder from Dixon.

The Congressional Canvass.

The democratic congressional campaign in
this district is being made by their candidate,
Mr.. II. G. Sherwood, by driving about from
neighborhood to neighborhood. His method
is begging votes on the ground of class in
terest and seeking to ingratiate himself into
personal favor by falling in with the likes
and dislikes of his immediate subject. With
religious people he is religious and with peo-
pie of opposite views, according to well
founded reports, he is equally in sympathy,
for present purposes. His great point is on
class interest. But what the farmers in the
fourth district want in congress is not simply
the name of representative, but the man
who can do most for their interests, and that
man is certainly not Mr.. Sherwood. No
measure for the farming interest has had
more effective support than Mr.. Burrows
gave that for protection of innocent users of
patented articles, ar that to save the business
of butter making from the bogus article that
was running the market. MIR. Burrows is
posted on the wants of his constituents and
has their interests at heart. Few men have
his ability for duty al congress, and none at
the command of this district have the pow
erful lever of his experience to call to the aid
of the measures in which our people are
concerned. The interest of the farmer in
congress is to get Mr.. Burrows not Mr..
Sherwood, for representative.
There is good reason for saying that in the
congressional canvass democratic scheme is
being worked, in sly way, to secure exten-
sive trading in Mr.. Sherwood's interest. In
some sections a clannish feeling is cultivated
among the farmers, who are then approached
to trade congressman for governor. Repub-
licans should take warning and not lend
themselves TO such scheme. There was
never a cleaner or abler set of nominations
than the republican candidates of this year.
The prospects for the whole ticket are good,
and it is both needless and foolish to endan-
ger any portion of it. Trading provokes
retaliation. II often throws away valuable
vantage ground without doing any good for
the end aimed at. Don't do it.-hdiandzoo.
