A FLATTERING RECOGNITION OF
CONGRESSMAN WAKEFIELD.

Mr.. JOS. II. Real, president of the
American Agricultural and Dairy Asso-
citation, under date of June 30th, sends
us the following letter i'm support of
Congressman Wakefield's action in be-
half of the dairymen's cause:
To The farmers and dairyn'en Of the Second
District Of Minnesota:
Your representative in Congress the
Hon. J. b. Wakefield has from the be-
ginning of orr movement for Il National
law against fraudulent butter, been an
earnest and faithful supporter of the
dairymen's cause, and by his intelligent,
earnest and well directed efforts and
vote on the measure, has rendered in
valuable service to the farmers and
dairymen of his district and of the
whole country.
As the legislation we ask for was new
and unprecedented it required convic-
ton and courage to support il, while
strenuous opposition to il had TO be met
and overcome both i'm and out of Con-
gress. Those of us who have been di-
rectly engaged i'm this work realize the
great value of brave and true men in
congress, for it has been terrible con-
test.
1t is essential for the protection OF
the agricultural and dairying interests
of the U. :. that only true and tried
friends of the farmers be selected to
represent them i'm Congress hereafter.
1t is important to your welfare and
| the welfare of the whole country that
this class of men should be selected for
| tho National legislature in order that no
| other frauds against the farmer may be
allowed to get foot hold and that we
may at all times have men there upon
whom we can rely i'm any emergency.
| The time is here when the farmers must
be effectively and faithfully represented
in congress. Mr.. Wakefield is such Il
Representative and | take the liberty
to request that the farmers of his Dis
trict will insist upon his return To Con
gress and give him their undivided sup
port regardless of party politics. Farm.
ers must work together for their mutual
interests and for their own protection
Partizanship should give way to Agri
cultural advancement.
Very Truly Yours,
JOS. ii. REAL,
President.
Mr.. Wakefield, through declining
health, was unable to accept the re-nom
nation for congressman. But that hi'
straightforward, manly and indepen
dent action on all matters of Legislation
made him truly representative dele
gate, goes without saying, and had h'
not positively and repeatedly declined
further service in his present position
he would have been returned as cordial
ly and unanimously as he was in the
two former elections. If the new rep
resentative shall prove as valuable t.
the Second district as has Mr.. Wake
field, no one will regret his selection.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbour
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, fatulency,
.uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture like p%erspiration, producing
\ very disagreeable itching, after
getting warm, is a common attend
ant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles, yield at once to the APP

TumOrs, allaying the intense itching,

THE POOR HOUSE QUESTION.

EDITOR GAZETTE:
In last weeks Sentinel appears an
article that reflects rather severely
upon our Board of Supervisors, and
in my humble judgment very UNJUST
ly. The facts in the cases as l under
stand them, are about these. The
old Board, or to speak more literally,
| the Board whose term Of office ex-
PRED in December last, at their last
meeting let out the contract OF keep
ing the county paupers to Major
Penn, at SO SO per month. The new
Board at their first meeting in Jam
uary, discussed the matter, and came
to the conclusion that common hui
mainly and common decency de-
manded that the poor un%fortunates
could not possibly be kept in any
thing like ordinary comfort at such
figures. They accordingly appropri-
ated IS 90 per month per head, for
the poor devils, for which they de-
serve praise rather than censure, for
this amount covers the entire ex-
pense of clothing, medicine, ETC., and
any man who begrudges them this
miserable little %pittance, deserves not
the name of man. AS to the charge
of extravagant and reckless waste of
the peoples money, l will venture to
assert, that in this estimate of the
present Board Mr.. Lucas stands soil
tary and alone. Twill advise him if
he thinks they are prodigal in their
distribution of the county funds, just
to bring them one little account
against the county and try to collect
it, and on this point will refer him to
the following parties whose accounts
were before the Board at its last
meeting: j. w. Buchanan, account
$12 90, reduced by the Board to 81 so;
Stokes Bros. account 50 90, allowed
~ 50; Lacock IL Meaders, account for
lDOul NJ W., lcuuCeu " aDouI 20 w.
and Chicago publishing house,
whose lame | forget, but whose ac-
count was reduced about % per cent.
These accounts too, re- all for artl-
cles that were absolutely necessary.
Stationery, bedding for poor house,
timber for public roads; etc. were the
principal items, besides other
accounts that were not allowed at
all. The writer of this article has no
earthly interest in the matter, save
and abstract sense of justice, that
causes him to believe in giving even
the devil his due. FAIRPLAY.
