WASHINGTON is TO BE congratulated
upon several things during the pre-
vailing unpleasantness-upon an eff
eient Police force, vigilant Fire
Department and her underground
wire system. The latter needs no
stronger argument in its favor than the
great storm which has been prevailing
here for the last three days. The
good work of burying all electric wires
should 60 on until the last one is out

ROCHESTER, Mimi, Oct. 19.-Dunnell
has given additional confirmation of the
truth of the charge made by Judge Viii
son that since he left congress he has
been the paid lobbyist of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company at Washing
ton. In a speech delivered at POtSdam,
in Olmsted county, this week, Dunnell
said to his audience: 81 admit that for
five months was the assistant to the
attorney of the Northern Pacific Rail
road company at Washington on a salary
of 500 a month"; This, to be fully ap-
preciated, must be taken in cOnSOnance
with the statement Dunnell made at
Lake City, when, in answer to the
charge that he was q paid lobbyist,
he replied: what if l was?
The only difference was that |
was on the outside" Then, with this
must be taken the reiterated charge of
Judge Wilson. that Dunnell is paid
lobbyist, and that he has the proofs any
time that Dunnel chooses to call for
them. The farming element. TO whom
Dunnen made the confession that he
had received $500 per month from the

WEATHER FOR 1889.
According to Prophet Blake There
Will Be a Good Deal Not Desira-

According to Prophet Blake There
Will BE a Good Deal Not Desira-
BILE.
e. c. Blake, professor of meteorolOgy,
of Topeka, Kan, is apparently taking
taking theIead of the weather prophets,
and the programme he has prepared
for the coming year is not one to COM
mend him to popular favor. If he is
good authority, 1889 is to be year of
great extremes in both temperature and
precipitation. He says:
1.-The weather next year will be Just
what the people generally do not eX
pect, and for which most of them will
be unprepared. There will be very
great floods and still more fearful
drouthS."
Mr.. Blake is publishing book on
which he has expended much time and
Gaze going through and solving hun
dreds of meteorological problems, and
which are to be published in his book in
extensive tables, for each state, and in
many cases for each part of state. His
book Will be out early in November. Of
his discoveries and tables of the future
he says:
While we do not expect these figures
to be absolutely correct, yet our expert
ence for the past thirteen years con-
vinces us tibet they will be at least APP
proXimately correct, and sufficiently
correct to serve as practical guide in
all farming and business transactions.
In fact, the temperature and rainfall for
different parts of 1889, in different local
tiles, will be at such very great eX-
tremes that we do not see how any bust
ness can be carried on successfully
without knowing for long time in adj
vance just what the weather will be for
each locality. We had no intention to
pitt so much labor upon the calculations
for 1889 till last January, when we first
discovered that it was to be a
year of great extremes. Since then we
have worked at it diligently till now,
as we saw absolute famine for large
part of the people unless they were
amply forewarned. Our readers will
bear us testimony that we have labOred
faithfully to induce the farmers to use
extra eXertiOnS this year to raise the
largest possible crops of all kinds. We
saw that they would need all they could
raise, and have not hesitated to so adj
wise them, Notwithstanding the growl-
ing of few cynics. We know that we
are doing mankind more good than we
could do in any other line, and there
fore we are content to labor as dill
gently as our strength will permit.

AS Illustrative of one way in which
Dunnell is attempting to hold votes or
secure new ones is the pledges he made
when here that if elected he would Sc
cure for Kasson. Dodge Center, and the
other town along the line of the WinOna
Il st. Peter road, in his district, a mail
on Sunday. These towns havo no mail
on the seventh day now, and naturally
would appreciate one if there were
trains to carry it. Dunnell has there
fore come TO their rescue with a pledge
that if elected he will control the post
Office department and the railroads in
his district,and secure mails or dispense
with them whenever he desires.
The spirit of the Dunnell men is
very rabid, and it is practically
impossible to discuss with them any OF
the issues of the hour. They are as in
| tolerant as bigOts, and as testy in
temper as any old maid. Only the other
day A. f. Anderson, who is conducting
DUnnell's campaign in Kasson, dropped
into a store where there were a number
of young Republicans who intend to
vote for Wilson. He began telling OF
what Dunnell had said in one of his
speeches, and they listened without any
| sign of interest. Finally, turning to
one of them, who he thought was laugh
! ing, lie exclaimed Laugh ahead, you
damned Democratic sympathiZer."
And that is the way it goes all over
! the district. At the same time that Mr..
Anderson is doing active work for Dun
nell, it is little surprising to notice the
silence and apathy of Republicans as
! prominent as George B. Arnold, George
Edgerton. L. G. Nelson, l.. 5. Peck,
j. Grinnell and Il. b. Page. They are
men of standing in politics, but no evil
dencc of the Dunnell faith escapes from

Horse Blankets Pay.

Farmers often deceive themselves by
thinking they cannot afford to buy a
horse blanket. When horses are not
blanketed in cold weather, if they keep
in good condition, they must eat more
to keep them warm than horse blanket
would cost. When spring comes q
horse that has been blanketed all win
ter is usually worth $50 to 800 more
than one which has not been blanketed.
1t is money in the farmers pocket to
blanket his horse. No cloth is more
deceiving than horse blanket cloth, for
weak blankets, which will not wear. can
be made to look as well as strong ones.
Every farmer should be able to distin-
guish the quality, so as not to be i'm
posed upon.

GRAPES DIDN'T RIPEN,
But Can Be Pushed Forward Gu
of the Way of the Frost.

There was large crop of grapes in
Southern Minnesota this year, and a
great portion of it was lost by the frost.
The conditions were similar in Iowa,
and the agricultural writer in the Des
Moines Register insists thatit was due
mainly to laZiness, negligence and in
efficiency. One man lately told us his
grapes did not ripen except on few
vines. inquired if his vines had received
clean cultivation, and If the surface OF
the soil in the vineyard had been kept
pulveriZed. He said they had been
very busy on the farm this year, but
few days ago he cut the grass and weeds
air could circulate among the vines.
And in many vineyards this same con-
dition of things can be found. 1t is no
use. Good grapes cannot be raised
in Iowa unless the vines
are thoroughly protected in
winter from the severe and sap sucking
winds, and protected from weeds, grass
and dry, hard, packed soil. A scythe is
not the instrument with which to hoe
grape vines. Nor should the vineyard be
plOWed deeply so as to reach all of the
fibrOus roots. Nor will grapes ripen if
the leaves and vines are deeply shaded.
A bunch of grapes will ripen just as
well if put in bag when half grown.
But if the leaves of the vine are put In
a bag, and the cluster of grapes left out
to the sun wind, it will not ripen.
Grapes feed through the leaves, and if
they are smothered by weeds, grass, or
a tangled mass of vines, the grapes will
not half ripen.
There is another reason. Grapes
should be planted deeply. A foot, or
even eighteen inches is not too deep in
the soil to be suitably prepared for such
planting. Then the tibrous roots,
through which the vine receives its
nourishme t, will not be close to the
surface in the dry soil, when
we have September like this
year. Grapes are rich fruit, and
when the vines are loaded with
grapes. it takes an immense draft from
soil and atmosphere to ripen and per-
feet the grapes. The only wonder is
that grapes ripen at all when the ground
is dry and hard and choked with grass
and weeds. preventing the free circula-
ton of air among the leaves and vines.
In raising grapes there is need of indus
try, care and common sense.

KAsOTA, Mimi. Oct. 19.-COnsider-
able excitement was occasiOned here
this morning when it was discovered
that the Northwestern railway had
made rate OF Sl.O1 from KaSota and
81 cents from st. Peter to New Ulm
and return, to attend the Merriam re-
ceptiOn there last evening, against a
rate of Sl.30 and S1.16 given to the same
towns on the occasion of reception to
f. NJ. Wilson at the same place few
days ago. To make a greater feeling
the railroad obliged the local Demo-
crazy to buy fifty tickets to get the rates
and fixed the limit of the attendance at
the Republican reception at twenty-five.
The query here is whether this dis
elimination comes under the ''long and
short haul'' or is it because Merriam
has been 80 kind to the railroad cor
pOrations and Wilson forgot to be so.
