The following article. which we mainly ex-
tract from the Detroit Post, will be found OF
interest 70 all our people, as it imparts impor-
tant information on subject that just now is
attracting good deal OF attention. One
phase OF the railroad question is shown up in
new light from a standpoint somewhat diff
ferent from the one from which this railroad
question is usually viewed:
"Poor's Manual OF the Railroads OF the
United States" for 1873, shows some facts
worthy the careful attention Of the political
economist In the first place, 1t shows that
there arc in the United states nearly Sixty
eight thousand miles OF railroad In operation
enough 10 reach about three times around the
earth Mt this latitude. The total value OF these
roads rs considerably more than our national
lebt. Their earnings for the year were, in
round numbers Five Hundred Millions oil
dollars or. in other words, nearly every dollar
OF currency in this country passed through the
hands of the railroad companies during the
course of the year. And, in the same period
one-,hrd Of the total movable, or commercla
wealth Of the country, also passed through the
hands OF the railroad companies, the amoun

Corrupt Legislation.

Who hath seen it? Who hath heard
it! And yet, who in this whole broad
state and nation hath not read or heard
this stale charge?
We will not look abroad for sin.
but con6ue onr inquiries to our own
state The charge was made by our
own state papers, that our Legislature
of the last session, was corrupt, but not
a particle of evidence was adduced in
support of the fact, save that by an over
whelming majority in both Houses,
it passed an act bestowing the St
Croix & Superior Land Grant upon the
Mil & ST. Paul Railway Company. If
there was any corruption" in this, it is
unprecedented in American history.
We fail to see any evidence of such a
fact. But what next do we hear?
Why, the nonsensical cry of attempts
at bribery by the same Company on an
other question, which utterly failed.
But, if success crowned their original
effort, why not the second?
1t is impossible to reconcile these
contradictory statements, and the ouly
deduction TO be drawn from them is
this. There is no ground for the charge
in either case, and this bowling and
raging is but the legitimate result of
disappointed ambition.
We admit that it has rung through
the press of the country, from the ST
Paul Pioneer to the Chicago hte,
Ocean-from the La Crosse Democ, at
down to those weaker vessels, which we
forbear to name, and all to crafty mere
spleen.
1t is not surprising that the press
outside the state should thus attempt to
mar the fair fame of our Legislators;
but we have nothing but contempt for
those at home who would thus disgrace
them. Have ye no souls of your own
Have ye no respect for yourselves
Shame on ye if We have. Pity on ye i
have not, Ye are crotchety old grannies

THE st Paul & Milwaukee rail road
company, having secured the West Wis
consin land grant, is no doubt making
preparations to build the line from Lake
st. Croix to Superior and Bayfield,, and
will commence work at the earliest mo.
ment. The subsidy is very valuable,
given upon conditions altogether to en-
sure prompt action, and it may be as
sumed as settled that not only the law,
but just expectations of settlers on the
line will be fully met. OF course this
end of the route will be first common
ced, leaving the Chippewa Valley and
Shullsburgh lines to later period in
the season. We infer that by vigorous
effort the route from Superior to Hud-
son will be running by the fall of 1874
at latest. The population of the St.
Croix valley are all alive to the sit
uation, waiting to see the iron horse
50. Paul Pioneer.
II will be recollected that the Pioneer
has heretofore been deeply in sympathy
with the West Wisconsin, hence "the
West Wisconsin land grant" instead Of
the st. Croix & Superior But it is
gratifying to learn that our former enc
mics now concede good faith on our
part, and that both the law and subsidy
"ensure prompt action and that the
"just expectations Of settlers on the line
will be fully met" We would also sug.
gest that the route from Superior TO
Prescott will be running just as early
as that from Superior to Hudson.
