Milwaukee and it Railroads.

We take the following from report in re-
lation to 1.-THE main sources of traffic possess
ed by Acknowledgements to the Board
Of trade in that city:
10 those who have not investigated the
subject, few facts in regard to the vast bus-
ness OF the Valley Of the Upper Mississippi
and the country to the west of it, will be in
teresting and instructive. There are now en-
gagged in the trade of the Upper Mississippi
River, nearly 100 steamboats,. The aggre-
gate arrivals at St. Paul for the present year
will be over 1000. The freight delivered at
the different landings above Dubuque, for
1879, amounted to over 10000 tons. and
the passengers that have been conveyed both
ways can not fall short of 200. 900 the pres
emf season. Until the past two months this
enormous freight and travel has gone over
the Galena and Chicago Railroad, as the most
northern crossing from Lake Michigan to the
MlsslsslPpl, and has helped to swell the traffic
OF that Road, to the wonderful figures which
it reached in 1855 and 1856.
An important feature in the whole system
of Milwaukee Railroads, is the fact that from
all points on the Mississippi River where our
roals touch, there are corresponding lines
building, continuing westward towards the
Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains.
Five years ago the States of Illinois and Wis
consin were as destitute of railways as Min
nesota are now and yet Iowa and Minneso
ia are now improving as fast as ever did Wis
consin or Illinois. We have no doubt that in
ten years from this, there will be over mill
ion and half of peop.e in Minnesota. every
inhahitant Of whom will reach the East cheap
er ard easier, via. this city.

planted themselves at the Second Ward polls
yesterday afternoon, and challenged every
voter who presented himself at the window.
The individual selected to perform the chal-
longing was one of the propf ietors of the
Mlnmesotian. Every foreign born and many
native citizens wee challenged by this agent

being polled. He challenged gentlemen
whom he knew full well to be voters, in or

Judges, keep legal voters away from tn polls.
Now, We submit that such conduct is
gross abuse of the challenging power, and if

conduct of the individual referred to, were
deprived Of the privilege of voting.

this rascality of the Ramsey managers was

determined to take and keep possession of
the polls at all hazards, SO as to prevent Re-

forbearance."
