seats located on his wild land, than he is at getting
railroad charters. II is said that instead of obcyin
instructions and securing charter for a road from
La Crosse To Mankato he tried to get charter from
Wabashaw To that point, so that the connection might
be FROM La Crosse TO Wabashaw, through ''G,aes-
ride." How long shall such mcn be trus,ed1 We
do not vouch for the truth of this statement but this
is common report. However, the Judge effected
nothing, and the Minnesota Slture has adjourned
50 let il be.
We clip the above Gon the Ia Crosse Democrat
to show how very apt men are TO put an improper
construction upon the acts of others. We happen to
know that the very why Juls, Gale filled in
securing charter for road from L. Crosse to
the Minnesota because he would not consent to
connect the l., Crosse real with "A road from Waba-
shaw The Judge insisted upon crossing The Misss-
sppi at or La Crosse, and thereby obtained the
opposition Of the Walashaw influence. The charter
the Judge wished to obtain consequently aisd, and
charter from Winona on Wabashaw Prairie w4s
passed.
We think the Democrat has acted with much uo-
fairness toward judy Gale, in the publication Of the
above article, for although the article admits that the
report may be false, yet the accusation is made in
such a manner Is to show that the editor OF the
Democrat hclieve it to b. true,. and he very pom
pously asks g how long shall such men be rl,Sted!''
We answer, La Crosse wall trust such men as Judge
Gale just so long she consults her interests,
desires to be honestly represented. ''{dni sat CUR
