Charles Pillsbury, the -four king
Of Minneapolis, and one of the
Republican bosses of the northwest,
has recently travelled through the
east, and expresses on politics in
this manner:
Blaine cannot be elected, and his
means defeat. Personal
~, Id6n't want to see him president.
The young men who do the "whoop-
ing FER up" do q good deal Of talking
for Blaine, but the older heads dom
agree with him. Cleveland is the
favorite with his party and will get
the nomination certainly. Very few
are sanguine enough to think Blaine
could carry New York. In fact, they
rather think it would go overwhelm-
iDgly for Cleveland.

they will, II was this party that
caused the American flag to be hon.
ored everywhere. 1t was this party
that added California, Texas and
vast acres to our country. 1t was
this party that is restoring the un-
earned lands, claimed by railroad
companies, to the people. 1t is this
party thatstands by the whole Union
and the old flag to-day. 1t is this
party that stand by the people in
opposition to the monopolies. 1t is
this party that is opposed to a war

These facts should be known and

We publish to-day letter from

ing our felIow-townsman, Hon. Jno.
W. English, for a scat ON the Su-
prone Bench.
We desire to bear some plain,
home testimony to Mr.. English's
worth as q man, and his qualifiea-
lions as a lawyer. for this position.
After thirty years Of residence
and practice here, he stands to-day
one of the leading lawyers and citi-
zens of the State, without leaving
behind one questionable act.
With fine legal attainments, tenn
Perate habits and a cultured mind,
he has a keen appreciation of wit
which enIivens the law. and makes
80 pleasant an evening at court.
While Hr. English has never been
fmportunate for Office, but always a
a quiet efficient worker in the ranks
of the Democracy, there is no man
in the county whom our citizens
would more gladly honor than him.
1t is no slight tribute for a mans
neighbors thus to bear testimony to
his great worth and attachments, for
his. standing as citizen will be his
standing in court.
While he is well known through
out the State, he has a personal ac-
quaintenes ID & the 1Third aud Fourth
Districts, which added to the fact
that he has no factional enemies,
would cause his nomination to great
" strengthen the ticket.

HELPING THE POOR TO HELP
THEMSELVES.

Those who are desirous Of helping
the poor must rise 10 the perception
that, in dealing with poverty. they
must aim at prevention rather than
at cure; at saving those under their
influence from sinking TO low level,
rather than merely obtaining relief
for them when they have reached
that low point. Few have as yet
eraspei the idea that their best sue
cess would be to develop the re-
sources of the poor themselves. ]
think they rarely set before them
selves the desire to find some en-
p.oyment, at hand or far of, which
may support the young widow and
her children before she has tasted
parish bread. / think they rarely
press upon the old woman the duty
of first trying If the successful son
cannot support her, or the daughters
in service unite to do so. They
have not yet watched the poor close

ly enough to see that this would be
in reality the truest kindness. They
forget the dignity of self-mainte-
nance, they forget the blessing OF
drawing the bonds Of relationship
closer, and dwell only upon the fact
that the applicant is deservihg-see
only the comfort or relief which the
parish allowance would secure.
To raise the poor by degrees above
the degrading need Of charitable re-
lief, to be energetic, self-reliant, prov
ident, and industrious, will depend
upon the height of our own hope,
the patience of our own labor, the
moral courage which will teach us TO
prefer being helpful to being popu-
lar, and finally to the temper and
spirit of our own homes and lives.
For if we desire to be the leaders of
our poor into the ways OF happy
prosperity, we must order our homes
in exactly the same spirit as theirs
must be ordered-in simplicity, in
dustry, and providence.-Octdria

FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE.

We find that the body, like all
other machines, requires the fulfil
ment of certain well.deflned condi-
tions, in order that it may do its
full work easily. Among these es-
sential conditions are, first, supplies
of air, water, and food; and after.
ward, cleanliness, that is, the re-
moval of all waste matter, as the
condition of most work with least
expenditure of force.
H"The relative value of these three
essentials, air, water. and food would
be differently estimated by many
persons; but we have no hesitation
in placing air far in advance of food
as means Of preserving health.
We are bathed in air, we breathe
air, every moment. Water and food
we take only at intervals, and in
comparatively small quantities.
Moreover, person breathing pure
air, day and night, can digest almost
any quality of food.
In a room Ghirteen feet square by
nine feet high there is only air
enough for one person to breathe,
without danger, for two hours; yet

this size, with closcl doors and win.

their heads for warmth. taking in
each breath the poisonous dead mat
ter which is. every instant thrown
off from the lungs and skin, and
then wonder why they have head
ache and cannot eat next morning F!
How often do two or three people sit,
for some hours, in such a room, with
double windows, perhaps. and with
no change of air, unless from the
momcntary opening Of door into
another room! If they think Ut all
about it. they suppose that sufficient
air comes in through cracks; but
the amount that so enters n room is
f:.r from sufficient in ordinary cir
cumstances. a great difference in
temperature between the outer and
inner air, or violent wind blowing
outside, causes q somewhat rapid
change Of air, even in well built
house; but only under one of these
two conditions should any one sleep,
or remain more than one hour, in an
ordinary room, without direct com
munication with out door air; door
open into another closed room is not
enough. A chimney, communicating
the room by an open fireplace, is a
very important aid To ventilation.
Another false economy, besides
that Of excluding fresh air, is that
of excluding the sun. The entrancc
