To the Editor:
Some time ago The Outlook wrote about
the last election of United States senator
in Minnesota, that the retirement of Sena-
tor Washburn and the election of Gov. Mel
son have involved scandal of increasing
magnitude. 1 was much surprised to find
paper like The Outlook accepting the mere
didate as evidence that corruption had
been used. Washburn ought to be the last
man in the world to make such an accusa-
ton, because according to reports of in
vestigating committees, both when he was
elected representative and congressional
senator, thousands of dollars was expend-
ed in buying votes in his behalf. With re-
gard to .Washbyrn's anti-option bill, it is
said by men who understand the subject
and who it is IeasoRable to believe, are
honest about the, matter, that the said bill
is by no means in theo interest of the farm
ers, and that Washburn in this (as in
everything else)I only s had his own selfish
ends in view. know in other things from
personal observation that Washburn does
not hesitate to set aside the public welfare
for his personal benefit. think The Out
look owes it to KnHte Nelson to the
Scandinavians, To- Minnesota and to it's
legislature to correct the statements re-
ferred to above. iBeiag Populist 1 am
not a supporter of k4ute Nelson, but I
think a man ought not to be declared
guilty without evidence; least of ALL when
the accusation seomss from man like
Washburn, who, 1 am inclined to think is
not worthy to nHaoose the latchet of K
Nelson's shoes. aRespeRtfully,

HE MAY RETURN TO FISHING.
Capt. Jensen Agrees With Capt. Sadler
On navelonneut of FiShar.iCS.

Capt. NJ. G. Jensen. who has had con-
siderable experience as a master or ish-
ing schooners gives his hearty approval to
the views of Capt. Sadler upon Boring sea
fishing, and thinks that some time in the
near future he may arrange to emphasize
his views by entering the business HIM
self.
1.-THE way to handle that business profit
ably" said Capt. Jensen, lis TO take the
fish as they come, and sell the large ones
upon arrival in this market, as they al
ways find ready SALE and to hold the
small ones ill the winter season, or pre-
ferably. to ship them south. as suggested
by Capt Sadler. In that way the cash for
operating expenses may be obtained when
needed. and the part shipped south viii
be nearly all profit Then again, the
Mexican. Central and South American
states are nearly all Catholic, and any
one familiar with the business knows that
that means a good market for fish,
Capt Jensen made good money in the
business when he used 10 sail out Of
Gloucester. and had his schooner. the
Morning Star. been insured he would have
been in the business vet. She collided
with a steamship in Boston harbor and
was a complete wreck.
