$ THE END TRIES THE MAN,,
That is what the great Shakespeare

That is what the great Shakespeare
wrote.
Last winter the Republican papers
and politicians raised such a howl
against us for our course in the State
Senate, that nothing but the most dog
ged resolution could have carried LIS
thr ough the ordeal Of misrspresenta.
ton aud abuse to which we were SUBJ
iected. Even our best friends were
shaken by the concerted outcry. We
will therefore be pardoned, we trust,
Cor the harmless vanity of copying the
following from the Record and Union.
of Rochester, the leading Anti-Monop-
olist paper of Southeastern Minnesota:
But what is true of Congress is, also, true
of the Legislature. Send men who are
awake to our interests, and competent moi
only to defend them, but TO wage aggressive
warfare against our opponents successfully.
Look at last winters session. We had near
~ as many in both houses as the Republi-
cans, yet they carried through no measure Of
importance whatsoever: They were tripped
at every turning, and soon became dispr-
tied by the unequal contest. Some COM
planned that Donnelly talked too much, but
what would have become of Anti Monopoly
in that body had he not tal]xedl Wouldn't
it have been forgotten Had we had two
Donnellys in the Senate and four in the
House, the results would have been far
more in our favor.
Many thanks. You praise us over
much, and you do not give sufficient
credit to our gallant allies in that stormy
session. But it is gratifying, at least, to
think that Of all the countless lies and
Misrepresentation that were showered
upon us during those sixty days. by the
st. Paul Press, not one remains to face
the light of the day, five months after
the close of the session.
The Anti-Monopolists must learn one
great lesson, never to abandon their
friends because the enemy denounces
them. A public man can laugh at his
foes as long as his friends stand firm;-
but when they become demoraiized,
they cease to be party. and are simp-
ly mob, and mob, too, led BY their
enemies. Stand shoulder to shoulder,
gentlemen, and never follow the coun-
sci of those who are arrayed in battle
against you.

'sThe condition Of the crops is not en-

of any grain in the State. Great dam.
age has been done in much of this State
extending further north than we
hoped would be the case-by the chinch
bugs; drought and extreme heat have
done much injury, but there are local.

good, and others where they are fair.

EASTERN OPINION.

We quote on our fifth page an inter
esting letter of correspondent of the
New York Tribune, written in st. Paul,
touching our Minnesota railroads. 1t
is. as might BE- expected, full of errors
and the editorial comments are not as
accurate as Horace Greeley would have
made them. Nevertheless we desire our
readers to hear all sides of this great
question.

WHAT THEY AMOUNT TO.
We have the authority Of the Manka-
to Review for the statement that the
schedule Of the railroad companies
amounts, SO far as the st. Paul and
Sioux City r. R. is concerned, to just
nothing at all.
The ReUteu says:
: In some instances the rates are higher,
and in others lower, and ON the whole it
seems to us, so far at least as the st. Paul
and the Sioux City road is concerned, there
Is no material change, and no great occasion
or necessity for the earnest protest entered
by the officers of that road, aside from the
general principle oflegislative control"
The earnest protest of President Drake
and the outcries of the St. Paul Press
are simply meant to lead the pcople>to
believe that some reform has been eff
fected at the expense of the railroads.
President Drake played the same shrewd
game last winter; when, having got
just such legislation as he wanted, he
voted against the bill, and pretended
that the Changers were riding over him
rough-shod. It was very we'll done.
But the people will begin to see soon
just what it amounts to.
Let us takes the rates on wheat on the
St. Paul and Sioux City R. r. and see
what this republican mountain, which
has been laboring ever since the Legis-
lature met last fall, has at last brought
forth. 1t is not even ridiculous
mus for there will be no smuss"
about it, so far as the railroads are con-
cerned.
The Repiew says:
In wheat there are slight increases in the
tariff, on the st. Paul road from Mankato
and st. James, and slight reductions from
other points, which IN THE AGGREGATE
NEARLY OFFSET EACH OTHER.
1t should be borne in mind, however. tllat
the old rates referred to are those of the uni
form tariff posted at each station. which are
materially higher than the special rates
given TO heavy shippers. Under the new
tariff there is to be no discrimination. but
freight is to be carried tor large or small
shippers at the same prices, and were these
special rates taken into account, WE PRE-
SUME THE NEW WILL AVERAGE HIGH
Err THAN THE OLD TARIFF.
On the Winona & st. Peter Railroad
the reductions are larger, although tri-
fling even then. In come cases they are
actually larger. The old rates ON
wheat per 100 lbs. from Owatonna to
Winona was eleven cents; now it is
1910 cents. From Waseca it was ll.6O
cents; now it is 1880 cents. So that
while the rate is reduced from some
points it is increased from others, and
the average result will probably leave
the average rates about the same.
The rates on the Milwaukee & St.
Paul company's roads we have not yet
seen. Those roads are of great import
ance. They are the arteries which
drain the commerce Of the State. We
shall look with anxiety to see what has
been done with their rates.

The Red River Raft.

In removing the Red River raft,
great deal of money and time have been
expended, and until recently with poor
prospects of success. First, logs and
trees have lodged in the stream, amid
which flood wood accumulated. and the
mass becoming so great, the sediment
OF the water and the decayed wood
formed a soil in which seeds sprouted,
and finally willows three feet in diane.
ter were found growing, and this for a
distance of thirty to forty miles, while
the water of the river ran underneath
and through this mass in devious chan
nels. The work of removal was begun
over forty years ago by Capt. Shreve,
and during much of the time since
Congress made an annual appropriation
OF from $4,000 to $15O,0OO, but the
river was kept open for only brief
periods, Meanwhile, some of the finest
cotton lands in Western Louisiana and
Eastern Texas were of scarcely any
value. Later, Lieut.. Woodruff was pu,
IN charge, and he found that islands
had actually been formed on the drift
wood, under which the waters of the
river flowed. The old logs were sawed

were built especially for the purpose,
having saws worked by the engine of
the, vessel. Ordinary blasting proved
useless. Dynamite, supposed to he a
most powerful agent, was tested, and
it failed to explode even with an elec-
trical apparatus. AT last nitro glycer-
inc was tried, and it proved so effectual
that now the river is almost cleared,
and it is expected that before long all
the tow heads and islands will be re-
moved, and fine cotton country rem
dered accessible. Tt is to be regretted
that Lieut.. Woodruff could not have
lived to see the great obstruction
formed during many centuries-re-
moved. He fell victim last October
in Shreveport to the scourge of yellow
fever which swept that unfortunate
town
