The Brainerd Journal is mistaken
about Mr.. Donnelly using his best
energies to defeat Chas. Canning.
The editor Of this paper worked hard
for Chas. Canning. But Mr.. Cam
ming, and E. II. Atwood and T. c..
Hodgson and others, went back on
Mr.. Donnelly as the candidate of the
Farm and Labor Party"-and yet
during the entire subsequent cam
paign Mr.. Donnelly spoke well of Mr..
Canning,-and even urged our sup
port in Pope County. Twice in pub
lie speech, he was called upon by per-
sonal request to say something for
S. G. Comstock-his own party NOM
inee. 1t was done without a word
against Chas. Canning. Mr.. Canning
was a regular party nominee, on the
democratic ticket. He certainly
ought not complain of his reason
able and magnanimous treatment at
the hands of a man campaigning for
the other party. Mr. Canning was a
wheat buyer-an elevator man now
at Duluth.
But what shall be said when r. G..
Hodgson deserted his friend Hall. in
the Traverse County work, and went
across the state, into Dakota Coun-
ty, to defeat Ignatius Donnelly for
the Legislature! This was one of
the black stains which no rubbing
will wash out. And not only this,
but Mr.. Hodgson boosted of having
defeated Mr.. Donnelly to prominent
men in the state!

A great many people are now
figuring on Cooperative creamery

Well, now, just write to the Corn

A correspondent states that he be.

We urge our friend to have pa.

There is a Home of Rest for old horses
in London. Did it ever occur to you,
reader, that worn out horses have earned
their right to rest and support in their
old days much more faithfully than a
good many of the people who are thus
taken care of by charity? Some of these
people never did and never would work
in their lives. The horse has always
toiled faithfully for man, and deserves
a better fate than being shot when he
cannot work any more. Especially there
ought to be in every state 4 farm where
decrepit horses may be turned out to
grass, il it be true that horses have no
souls, and when they die that is the end
of them. They deserve a little taste of a
horse heaven here, with oats and green
pastures and water brooks.

MankatO Journal:

MankatO Journal:
Seth Bottomly, of Martin County,
in writing to the Review of this city,
says the alliance has something of
more Importance than to endorse
the "Hekla insurance company" or
it's agents. The Blue Earth county
alliance, for that is what the gentle
man refers to, did not endorse any
insurance Company, nor any insur-
ance Company's agent. 1t did, how
ever, endorse two old alliance men,
ex-Sec. Haigh, and ex-President
Sprague, and that, too, unanimous
ly, as against published insinuations
against them.
The Journal is mistaken. We
made no "insinuations." We made
direct and specific charges, and laid
them down simply under the great
big seal of an oath. All the County
Alliances in Blue Thunder-and Light
ming may endorse them if they want
to. Every man between Urea Major
and the Southern Cross may marry
into their families-what's that to
do with the facts?

P~enitentiary Poets.

The penitentiary at Joliet, Ills, has al
ways been a noted institution. Convicts
of remarkable character seem to gather
there. Some of them are well educated
men intellectually, and give the lie to the
old superstition that education of the
brain alone, without corresponding de-
velopment of the moral, spiritual and
affectional nature, would keep a man
from crime.
It is said there is never a time when
there is not in the prison at least one
convict who can write fair, often even
good, poetry. At present the chief poet
of the stripes is a young man who car
write a piece of verse every day and not
feel it. His poetry is humorous.
But some time ago a poor young fellow
named William Desinead was brought
to Joliet for horse stealing in Wyoming.
Nobody knew much about the boy, and
he e W talked of himself. BY and by,
in not a long time, William died of con-
sumption. They buried him in the con-
vict ground, with a board at his head.
After he had been carried out of his cell
they found there in his writing some
verses, Of which the following are the
first and last stanzas:
It is night, and 1 sit at peace with myself
In my easy chair in the coy room,
With the red light melting the shadows grim
Into dancing figures that laugh at the gloom.
Ny little girl sits at my feet,
And I stoop to pat her golden head,
And I listen and hear her mother, dear soul,
Murm'ring a song over baby's bed.
| And we'll sit together, my hand in hers,
And both Of us watching the rosy glow.
And perhaps she'lhint, with her shy sweet smile.
OF the days Of counting, past long ago,
| And our early home and the friends we knew.
Most Of them happy, and rich, and well,
And-"Old man, get up" says my new cell mata
FOR Gods sake don't sprawl all over the CELL"

Strain, editor of the Battle Lake
Review, admits that he was ordered
out OF the State Alliance, but claims
that he did not 60 out, and kept on
peddling tickets for Haigh. Well,
that is probably as near the truth as
the fellow ever gets. If he could on
~ be lawless he was satisfied. He
had no rights in the hall, and was
told sc. The Sergeant-at-arms did
not find him though. 1t was the
outside politicians of this PREACHER
Gus stripe who came near capturing
the entire alliance. He fills his
columns with eulogiums of a secre-
tary who never kept a record-and
whose accounts were in lovely shape.

what the south Media

A-Governor Robert Lowry, Of MiMig
appd. writing in The North AmericaA
Review, and speaking for his own sta3e
and for the south generally, says that
three things are generally needed, name
~: systematized labor, less legislation,
and capital; and the greatest of these i
capital.
From 1874, since the people of tho
south took things into their own
hands and claimed for themselves home
rule, the section has grown rapidly in
wealth and prosperity, the governor
says. As an instance of this he mentions
that in 1889 Mississippi spent. 1900, 900
for public schools. This is a large sum
certainly to one who has not lived in an
atmosphere of public schools; but it must
be remembered that some large cities of
the Union spend each as much az that
for education every year.
Contrary to the opinion of many, Mr..
Lowry declares that negro labor is and
always will be the cheapest and best
that a be obtained for raising cotton.
It might he mentioned that the negro has
been raising something else than cotton
in the south now for a number of years.
Both natural adaptability to the climate
and natural inclination fit the colored
man for cotton culture, in the Judgment
of Governor Lowry.
Too much legislation has been the bane
of the south, says the governor. He is
a wise man to have discovered that
Prophets and sages alike agree in the
dictum that we have far too many laws
and that the higher the civilization the
fewer laws will be needed. The COVER
nor longs to hear from ore end of the
fair south to the other the busy hum of
factories, particularly cotton factories.
Mississippi is especially adapted to them,
with cheap labor, cheap fuel, cheap land,
no end of water, and the raw material
raised in p~rofusion.
Finally, 1890 finds the southern states
more prosperous than they have been
any time in the last twenty-five years.
Mines, factories, farming and all voca-
tons are reasonably remunerative. Capt.
tai is greatly needed to develop the re-
sources Of the country, and money in
vested in the south, we are to infer, would
pay handsomely.

estate. In my opinion, the best way
to boom things is to have the farmer
get good prices for their grain and
then they will have more money to
spend, and every class OF our COM
munity will get the benefit of their
increased income. OF course all the
unnecessary profits of the middle
men of every kind and nature and
any reductions in the way OF freights
or rather the expense of handling,
should help matters, but as long as
the short seller is SC potent, it is
very doubtful if he would allow any
OF the above helps to go to the farm
er, but would Immediately offer to sell
only so much cheaper.
Mr.. Editor, please excuse the
length of this communication. l
have tried to be candid and honest
in,every statement I have made. l
will undertake to prove to any hon
est and intelligent man or body OF
men that the above statements are
substantially true. l have written
this letter with honest intent to shed
light on the subject, and | hope it
will be received in the same spirit,
and if answered or commented upon,
it will be by facts and figures, and
not by appeals to prejudice.
CHAs. A. PLLsBURY.
The above closes a somewhat re-
markable paper. 1t comes from a
man who exports perhaps, %one-tenth
of the grain export of the United
States. 1t is a strong plea from any
man. Mr.. Pillsbury is not a Board
OF Tradesman. He is a millionaire.
His money is made on wheat and
flour. And beyond all question, he
is honest in giving his views. His
mistake, if he makes it, lies in two
points: LIST, He has too long been
master of a mammoth business to be
posted on the economics of the de-
tails. I'd. The lack OF economies in
our system not only bears upon the
farmer, but upon all profits. And,
right there, lies exactly what the
GREAT WEST said and says with in
creased force. The farmer is robbed
of 20 million dollars annually in
these unjust details. Mr.. Pillsbury
knows the totals. He knows there
is a soc. difference, and that freight
rates do not make up the difference.
1t is the sum of these minute over
charges on the bushel that foots up
the enormous total. These over
charges, take note, are over and
above the grading and dockage and
lOcalbuyer steals.
Hence we say now, as then, that
the farmers of Minnesota are robbed
OF from 20 to 28c. on every bushel OF
grain raised. That wheat is worth
one dollar a bushel in Minnesota.

So far as the sherif's Office went in
New York city, the corruption before
the recent explosion was as bad as in the
worst days of Tweedism. But there is
one thing that public thieves can rely on
as surely as death. Stealing, like every
other evil, carries the seed Of its own
ruin. When the thieves feel securest,
just then, dead sure, comes the earth

stood in one respect: As an Insur-
ance Co., the Hekla Co. has q right to
respect and business equal with any
other, so far as we know-although
we know nothing about the failure
OF the company at Madison, before
being transferred to st. Paul. And
we certainly would not utter a word
against Mr.. Scheffer as a banker and
business man. 1t is the aim of every
business nan to increase his "trade."
The creation of elements which draw
trade is the indication of enterprise.
Mr.. Scheffer had a legitimate right
to try to secure the Alliance bust
ness, through various companies,
for his bank and insurance company.
But we say the men who would sell
out the Alliance by the rotten scheme
of that original insurance racket,
and seek to destroy the greatnation-
al alliance interests-and all for q
personal salaries, and personal stock
gHts-are a band of rascals; and the
few men sprinkled through the state
who sustain this iniquity are unsafe
guides for the alliance. We don't

erful enough to drive us to the aims
house, we shall publish such opera

l.. y. HOdgsOn, who is not q men,
Der OF the Executive Committee, and
who is not and cannot be, a member
OF the Farmers Alliance by it's con-
stitutlon, was present at the meeting
OF the Executive Committee last
week, and addressed that body.
And what was the subject of that ad-
dress? 1t was a defense of the Su-
preme Court in it's recent decision,
and a defense of the railways. Mr..
Hodgson stated clearly that the rail-
roads had obeyed the direction of the
Commissioners in reference to the
rates ordered! Here is what the Su-
preme Court said on that very
point:
"The road was notified to substi-
tute that rate Commissioner or
der for it's tariff. The Company re-
fused, and the Commissioners there
upon published it's own schedule T2Hc.
per gallon. The company still
charge three cents from Faribault."
Mr.. Hodgson publishes a long de-
tense in a Grant Co. local paper. He
denies some matters in regard to
which he was not accused. But in
general terms, all that we have said
we hold to be absolutely true. In re-
gard to his not owning a farm we
stated what was given to us under
the most positive assurances. Per-
haps Mr.. Hodgson will locate the
farm? In reply to his personal
venom we prefer to quote the follow
ing from the News, of Brownsville,
Mimi:
The GREAT WEST is doing herculean
work in exposing the corporation
schemes. steals, and robberies. DR..
Fish is a brave, fearless man, with a
faculty of saying what he means,
and, saying it in q way that counts.
He should be backed by the entire
farmer and labor element of the
country. Wouldn't there be some
"squirming" though!
T. c. Hodgson says he never asked
a man to secure office for him. This
is a bold statement, when he asked
none other than Lgnatius DonneHy
to head an appeal to the COVER
nor for him, and Mr.. D., at the head
of the delegation, made the appeal!
and then as a reward, T. C. H. (de-
serting his duty in R. J. Halls dis
trict) went down into Mr.. DIS county
and defeated him for the legislature !
