Senator Blaine astonished his
friends a few days ago by openly de
claring himself in favor of Senator
Concklinsr for Pesident in 1880.
The Marquis of Lome and Prin

received by the populace.
In a coal mine explosion at Sulli
van, Ind., last Thursday thirteen

Chas. W Angell, the defaulting
secretary of the Pullman Palace Car
company has been caught at Lisbon,
Portugal, and $80,000 of the money
taken by him was found on his per
son.
The last session of the Forty-fifth
Congress will assemble next Monday.
Beyond the passage of the regular
appropriation bills it is not probable
that much legislation will be at
tempted.
A tie vote occurred in the first re
presentative district of Scott county,
between A. J. Bliss and R. H. Mc
Clelland, each receiving 310 votes.
The Governor has issued a procla
mation ordering that a special elec
tion be held Saturday, December
14th.
Adam Haber' a German from Osh
kosh, Wis., while revisiting his na
tive land, happened to speak of Em
peror William in a disrespectful man
ner, and was rattled off to prison un
der a five years' sentence. Secretary
Evarts proposes to have him released
or make a row about it.
Some of our State exchanges fav
orably mention Hon. H. R. Denny,
of Carver, county, for speaker of the
next House of Representatives. W
enjoy a slight acquaintance with
Mr. Denny, and think the House
could not select a more woithier
man for its presiding officer. Give
us a,,valley man.
Hostilities between England and
the Ameer of Afghanistan commenc
ed on the 21st inst. So far the
British troops have1
had it pretty
much their own way. They cap
tured Fort Kapion without firing a
shot, and Fort AH Musjid after a
short resistance, and are vigorously
pushing on to prevent the distrac
tion of the other forts by the Af
ghans.
The Senate Insane Hospital inves
tigating committee have concluded
their labors and last Monday present
ed their report to the Governor.
They review the evidence taken in
the financial management of the
treasurer and trustees at some lenght,
and severely comment upon the per
sons charged with strangling and
scalding patients to death, and con
clude their report with a recommen
dation that the organization of the
institution be entirely remodeled.
The Supreme Court of Florida de
cided that the three precinct returns
rejected by the Alachua canvassing
board are good and valid, and has is
sued a peremptory writ to the board
to canvass them. These precints
gave Bisbee, Republican, a majority
of 450, and by their rejection by the
canvassing board elected Hull, Dem.
Unless the Democratic House over
rules the decision of the court the
delegation from that State will be a
tie upon a possible vote for Presi
dent.
The St. Paul Globe, the leading
Democratic journal of Minnesota,
looks rather gloomily into the fu
ture. I says:
"It cannot be denied, and it will
do no good to conceal the fact, that
the Republican party has made great
gains over the Presidential election
of two years ago, and if its advan
tage is maintained up to the date of
the next Presidential election it will
select the man who is to occupy the
White House from 1881 to 1885.
The odds are against us in 1880."

The payment of the Halifax fish
ery award leads the Burlington
Hawkeye to say:
"What a row these two countries
are kicking up about a few fish! We
wouldn't be a bit surprised, if this
kind of a thing keeps up, to receive
a peremptory demand from the go
vernor of Minnesota to pay that
State in full for the pickerel we
caught in Lake Minnetonka last
Summer."
In several localities where the
people have voted no license so
called "Clubs" have been formed.
F. R. Jones, one of the proprietors
of the Worthington "Club Room"
was arrested on the 13th on two
chargesone for selling beer and
one for selling whiskey. He got a
continuance on one and was fined
$30,00 on the other. The court held
that every member of the club was
liable to fine and imprisonment.
Dakota is the coming new
State. According to the statement
of Hon. J. P. Kidder, the Delegate
in Congress from that territorv, its
population is nosv 125,000, and rap
idly increasing, while the progress of
agriculture, manufacture and com
merce is very gratifying. Judge
Kidder and his constituents will
strongly urge the admission of Da
kota into the Union as the thirty
ninth State during the approaching
session of Congress.
An unknown man committed sui
cide in a novel manner in St. Paul
last Sunday, at the hour of midnight.
He walked out onto the bridge span
ning the Mississippi river, and from
the impress left in the slight fall of
snow it is inferred that he deliberate
ly climbed over the railing and sus
pended himself over the river from
the flooring of the bridge, grasping
the edge with both hands. Then re
leasing his right hand he raised a
pistol and shot himself and then
dropped into the river, one hund
red feet below. As soon as he
touched the water he uttered pitious
cries for help, but the few people up
at that late hour in the vicinity were
unable to render any assistance and
the poor wretch sank beneath the
water still groaning for help.
The election of a Democrat to
Congress from this State is of such
rare occurrance that when one does
squeeze in, the party leaders gener
ally make the most of it. Hon.Henry
Pcehler visited St. Paul last week
and was banqueted in grand style.
All the prominent Democrats of St.
Paul were present as also was Sena
tor A. E. Rice, of Kandiyohi county.
The valient Senator made a speech
in which he took occasion to say
that to the Scandinaviens more than
anyone else Major Strait owed his
defeat, and gloried in the part he
had taken to bring that end about
Which leads the Willmar Republican
to say that the conspicuous and very
peculiar part taken by the Senator
has greatly surprised his party
friends at home.
THE DRIVE WELLS.
The people of the larger cities and
more thickly settled counties of this
State have been thrown into great
excitement by Col. Green & Co., the
patentees of the "drive wells," de
manding of the owners of such wells
a royalty of ten dollars on every
drive well within the Stale. But
little attention was paid to this drive
well trouble as long as the patentees
confined their field of operation to
Minneapolis, but now that the wave
has reached all over the State the
whole country is up in arms. Many
have stepped up and forked over their
little ten dollars while many others
refuse to do so, and meetings have
been held in Winona, Lake City,
Farniington and other places, at
which it was resolved to fight the
outrage to the bitter end. Anti
Drive-Well-Associations have been
formed, the members of which agree
to pay pro rata amounts to carry the
matter up to the United States Su
preme Court. Already suits have
been brought against many of the
parties refusing to pay, and they are
notified to appear, etc., at a cost of
over^j-prty dollars each, yWhiIe

of our exchanges oppose the paying
of the royalty others advise settle
ment with the "sharks," rather than
stand the expense and vexation of a
suit. I is certainly an outrage up
on our people, but as the owners of
the patent have secured decisions
from the courts sustaining the pa
tent, it is not advisable, in our opin
ion, for parties owning such wells,
to attempt to resist the payment of
the amount demanded.

CAPITAL AND CAPITALISTS.
Written for the Review by 0. P. CHAMn.ni-
The financial, is not the only
question in American politics that
needs looking after. There are other
matters of as great, if not greater,
importance which merit the atten
tion of all in the nation and among
these is the question of capital and
labor. This is of growing import
ance^ and is sure to have a large
place in the discussions of represen
tative bodies and in popular ad
dresses. Men will divide on the
question, and some will champion
capital and others labor, and one
will antagonize the other. Indeed,
it is even so now. Labor looks upon
capital as an enemy, and considers
that it has a mission to overthrow
it. Capital regards labor very much
as you would a man who follows
you for the money in your purse.
While this is the attitude of the par
ties there can be no safety to the in
dustries and institutions of the land.
Labor and capital must not be an
tagonized. It must be shown that
there is a real union between them
which can not be severed! without dis
aster to both. I beg the privilege
of contributing a mite to effect this.
1. What is eapital? W coin no
new definition but confine our
selves to such as have been, which
commend themselves to our judge
ment. Capital has-been defined, the
"product of past labor stored up and
applied to the facilitating of future'
labor." "Wherever something is
reserved from immediate consump
tion, and made to serve in future^
production, there is capital." Or, a
gain, "capital consists of the accum
ulated wealth of the past, and every
thing which in any way produces
the things that we want." Assuming
the general correctness of these defini
tions, it is evident, that whatever is
acquired by any one over and above
the immediate demands of his life is
his capital.
2. Hence, capitalists are those who
have more than enough to satisfy
their present necessities. There are
small as well as large capitalists.The
man, spoken of in the last Pioneer
Press, who went into a certain town
in this State with fifty dollars over
and above what he needed for hisr
immediate wants, was a capitalist to
that amount. The fact that he
made, by loaning that capital, three
hundred and fifty dollars additional
in three years, shows he was as true a
capitalist as a man with one hundred
thousand dollars more than was de
manded by his immediate wants. If
a man's weekly expenses is six dol
lars and his income is eight he will
have a eapital of two dollars which
he may loan as a capitalist, or
squander or a spendthirft but men
whose weekly surplus is so small are
not usually called capitalists. Per
haps, however, it would be better
sometimes to recognize them aa
such. Small capitalists come, in
time, to be large capitalists but of"
this we shall speak hereafter.
The prospectus of the St. Paul Globe
appears on the 7th page of this issue.
Although we do not exactly agree with
the Globe in political matters, as a
newspaper it is among the best. The
weekly is the same size as the Pioneer
Press and is furnished for $1 per an
num. Those wishing to club with the
Review can have both at $1.90 per
annum.
Sleepy Eye Correspondence.
Sleepy Eye, Nov. 20th, 1878.
Editor Review:
There is considerable building going
on in our little burg just now, every
body hurrying to get into their new
places of abode before "Jack Frost"
finally closes up all business of that
nature by his icy blasts. To enumer
ate:Our enterprising shoe dealer,
Mr. Kimm, has built a fine store with
dwelling rooms above. Mr, Lu Lang
don has also built for himself a com
modious house near the depot. He in
tends keeping boarders, also transient
customers, you are sure of a square
meal with Lu. Mr. J. Thompson has
built a fine residence in the grove near
the lake, as also has J. Allison. They
could not have selected finer locations.
Messrs. Knapp & Riley, the former
from Iowa, the latter from Rochester,
Minn., are building a fine hotel on
Main st., which, when completed,
would be a credit to any place, and
from what I have seen of the gentle
men I judge that they are well quali
fied to run it. Our friend Peter Ma
jewski has. also got anew house, and a
new girl weighing 12 lbs,the girl not
the houseover both of which he
feels justly proud, and it's only two
days oldthe girl, againand it looks
just as they all do and it's one story
high with kitchen attaches,the house
this timeand Peter says when times
get better he is going to have some
more,both, this time. Our enter
prising friend JohnZieske, the harness
man, has just laid anew walk 8 feet in
width in front of his place of business,
and Majewski, not to be out done in
improvements, continued it due east
past his place, and it adds greatly to
the appearance of Main st. There is
so much more improvement in the way
of building, &c. going on here that to
enumerate in detail would consume too
much time and space. Mr. Langdon
gives a party at his present place of
abode on the Friday evening coming
which promises to be the affair of the
season. By the bye, I had forgotten
to say we have anew livery here, con
ducted by Messrs. Davis & Doge, two
lively youug men from Mankato', and
they will probably make a success of
it. Cyeverybody knows Cyis also
doing a good stroke of business in the
same line. Our wheat buyers are busy
and good natured. our merchants dit
to, our churches and school doing well,
and, well, altogether we are rather a
happy community. There is however
a good deal of growling among the
"Grangers" at the low price of wheat*
Thanksgiving day approaches and
yours truly is making all necessary pre
parations in the way of creating an e
normous appetite for keeping the day
in a satisfactory manner, and I think
if the turkey only comes, I'll be alt
right. More some other time, possibt
