POSTS TO BE ESTABLISHED.
Prospects of u Mail Line MT an Early
Day. ..

The following letters from Hon. Alex.
Ramsey, in reply to letters and memorial
from committee Of our citizens, will be
read with much interest:
WASHINGTON, February 9th, 1885,
Mssrs. II. c. Wait and Others, Cammitee, St. Cloud:
GENrIEMEN-Yours of Sd inst, with memorial en-
closed, duly received and at once referred by
to the Secretary of War. This done in order that
the Secretary might become fully acquainted with the
subject matter of your letter and memorial, before
call upon him in person in relation thereto which
propose to do in few days.
The objects for which you memoriaze have for some
time been engaging the earnest attention of all here
who take interest in the welfare and material ad
vancement of cur State In the Department Of War
of the Interior, Of the Post Ofcewherever the sub
ject matter of your memorial could BE- promoteL-it
has been brought to the attention not merely Of the
heads of the several Departments but Of the subord
nate bureaus. feel every confidence that portion
Of the troops to be sent to the plains next will
be so disposed as to protect line for emigrants and
freight from Minnesota to Montana; and that possibly
number Of posts to serve places of refuge and
rally inexpensive in their character will be establish
ed along the line OF such a route.
lhaVe unuer the present CONSIDERATION OF the POST
Office Department the establishment of mail route
to Helena and Virginia City, from Fort Abercrombie
some other point on the line. This, in connection
with routes now in operation, will form a connected
stage line, at least week, from the western Dor
der of Minnesota to the heart of Montana; and may
be easily effected it. am assured will be the case
irregular line of travel and transit is opened during
the ensuing season..
The carrying of the mail from Atkinson. Kansas
to Santa Fe, New Mexico distance of nine hundred
and twenty-five miles, costs the government annually
$4,000; and it is estimated at the General Post Office
that will require $50 to equip and keep in op
GRAFTON year line from Minnesota to Montana,
the length contemplated You may therefore suppose
that in the present period of anxiety in regard t.
the National finances, the Postmaster General will
hesitate before advising establishing the route
But we shall eventually succeed, and think at ar
early period To initiate the matter, however, prop
ery, regard it as very desirable that reasona
bic offer to convey the mails the route should bt
made to the Department by enterprisng parties.
Our most sanguine anticpations Of business rela
tons with the Western Territories will be realized
but must have patience and not be discouraged by
temporary difficulties
Very Respectfully, -.
Your Otedient Servant 49,.

COUNTY JA1L.-Attention is called to the
circular from the County Auditors Office,
published last week and this in our adver-
Using colcmns, in reference to new Coun-
~ Jail. One thing is certain, that the
present Jail is worse than none at ALL. -
The County is compelled to send'all prison
ers TO Ramsey County and keep them there
at q heavy expense. As matter Of econ-
omy, q new Jail is advisable, while there
are many other reasons that might be
urged in it's favor. #

NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

We would call particular attention to an
article on tho first page clipped frsm the
Chicago Tribune. Il gives positive assu-
rance that the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company is moving decidedly and spractic-
ally in'ths matter of opening comlnunica-
ton with the Pacific coast. :. line of
stage and express teams" will be put on
during the coming season, in advance Of
the actual building of the l'ne; while it is
stated that line apiN be built two hundred
and eighty miles from 81. Gyo"d, Minnesota,
By ,chich railway communication teiI be opened
to Fort Clark. This is very important to
the whole country, and in a very great de-
gree to St. Cloud.

wanted to publish the advertisement in the
ARGUS, and so directed Sweeney & jackson,
but was told, in reply, that they never pub
lished any advertisements in the ARGUS, and
that they would attend to its publication in
the Union. These facts are related to US by
the plaintiff in tho case, and We believe them.
We therefore advise all persons who despise
such low-lived trickery and msannsss, to
avoid Sweeney & Jackson aud employ law
yers who will pay some respect to the wish
es OF their clients, and who will not descend
to such petty tricks to deprive democratic
paper of patronage and put money into the
pockets of their radical niger organ. When
person employs lawyer, that person has
right to direct the lawyer as to what shall be
done. The lawyer is the servant. the EN-
ployee, and, were we the employer, our di.
rections would be followed or we should dis
miss the lawyers very quick, and employ
those who would obey orders.
We advise all people who have coutempt
for such mssnnsss and triekery as Sweeney
& jackson practice to deprive a democratic
newspaper of patronage, to avoid them on ell
occasions. If you have any law business, 20
to men who will obey your directions, and
who are above such little. petty, political
spite. There are plenty of good, honorable
lawyers in town, who are vastly superior tt
Sweeney & jackson, and whose charges are
much more reasonable, and who would mo-
stoop 30 low ~ to attempt to thwart tn.
wishes of client for the purpose of depriv
ing democratic newspaper of an advertise
