For the Times.



Are McGregor, Clayton, and Gutten-
burg, to have railroad communication by
means of the river shore route, with
Dubuque, Sabula, Lyons, Clinton, and be.
low? The answer to this lies with the
people themselves. Dubuque is making
every effort to secure better connection
with Minnesota and the Northwest. Two
routes offer themselves; one up the west
bank of the Mississippi, to connect with
the road now in course of construction
from St. Paul down the river; the other
on the same route to the mouth Of the
Turkey thence up that stream through
Clayton, Fayette, Chickasaw, Howard,
Mitchell, Worth, and Winnebago counties,
to the State line; thence through the rich,
Blue Earth country to some point near
Nankato on the Minnesota river. Both
of these are desirable routes, and one or
both, will soon be constructed. Dubuque
comes forward for the purpose with cash,
stock subscription, already raised, OF
$500, 900, and 5 per cent. tax that will
be voted, amounting to $500 900, and
more stock coming in, making an agre.
gate Of 100000. How will the points
above respond? Will they vote tax of
the same per cent? If they do the ques-
ton is answered and the road will be
rapidly built to McGregor. o.
The above communication is handed us
for publication. We are Of the opinion
that the towns above Dubuque are already
carrying load of taxes that are felt to
be sufficiently interesting to attract their
attention, without further effort at pres
ent in the direction Of liberality. When
the road is graded to McGregor it will be
time to urge the collection Of presents.
Railroads are Of great interest to coun-
try; we cannot dispense with them but
they often get their start by begging and
then kick those who gave them the start.
The time for furious assistance Of new
Informed railroad companies, either by
National, State, county, municipal or in
dividual effort, bias pretty much passed
away. The extreme tightness of the
money market, combined with distrust
of those who are engineering public en-
terprises, induces great caution.

position to it.

1t is noticeable fact that while the Re-

over little victory, the election of one or
two councilmen in close wards in st. Lou

the fact that the radical City Treasurer

while at work as usual at his case, he was
seized with severe pain and in a few
hours breathed his last.
A rapid compositor, an able writer
always setting his own articles without
the use Of pen or paper-an indefatigable
worker and an honest man is the pro I'D
record of the oldest printer in the state.
