are open to the public free of charge.
Railroads are not. Those who use
them have to pay the company own
ing them for such use. They, there
fore, should be paid for by their
owners.
We must confess that "Cue" rath-
er beats us. We were not aware
that "Nearly all the roads that have
been built or begun within the last
five years are n0,,07V yu0ge roads
and [that] some of the heaviest
freig ght lines in the east are changing
or preparing to change their track
and rolling stock to na,'yo5o guagf,
because they can be operated so
much cheaper that it will pay to go
to great expense to make uar,'o7,
guage roads"
we supposed the contrary was
true, and that the narrow gauge roads
were being abandoned. And again,
the idea that the Sioux city and
Mankato and Iowa lines did not
touch the upper Minnesota valley,
was new and startling to us. We
used to regard Mankato as being in
that valley. 1t certainly will not
benefit the farmers of Goodhue to
furnish transportation for those of
Big Stone, etc., and if this road is to
extend SO far, do so much business
and pay SO well, it is so much the
greater reason why the company
which IS to enjoy the profits should
pay for it themselves, instead of ask
ing the farmers along the line to do
nate the money. What claim can
they have to be "set up" in such
splendid business.
We are sorry to have "Cue" and
"Common-Sense" angry with us, but
having given them no provocation,
we shall not attempt to appease
them. We will only add that, if they
are really farmers Of this county,
(Which we doubt very much, and if
the road is built by bonuses as pro-
posed, and if they continue living in
their present locality ten years, they
will sincerely regret their present
conduct: Injustice to their neigh
bors will not make them happy.

The Republican saws that.

The Republican says that, in
Pendletonian times, we advocated
his financial. theory in our paper
the Rochester Federal Union. AS
we did not take control of the Fed
eral Union until June, 1870, it is
hardly fair to hold US responsible for
what that paper said in 1868, when
he had nothing to do with it. We
did not favor the Pendletonian the
ory, nor did we even vote the demo-
cratic ticket on that occasion; we
have, however, always opposed the
banking system and preferred green
backs to bank-notes.
There is a movement on foot
among the Congregationalists of
New York and the New England
States which appears likely to force
an investigation of the Beecher-Til-
ton matter, before a tribunal which
will admit all the testimony on both
sides.
The evidence now being taken
before one of the Congressional
committees seems likely to develop
the truth about the Harrington safe
burglary affair; and to i1nplicate the
intimate associates of President
Grant, if not the President himself
1t looks now very much as if
collision between the executive
and Legislative branches of the gen.
eral government is imminent, that
is, if the reports which reach us
from Washington are true.

And yet some men will insist and even
the editor Of the Grange Advance held in
its last issue, that u railway is as much of a
private enterprise as a mill or a factory.
Nonsense. If times get dull and the mill
or factory ceases to pay, it shuts down.
Does railway shut down because it ceases
at any time to pay? Not bit Of it. Why?
Because the public demands it must run and
run it does, regardless Of consequences.
The railway is public highway and as
such the public gets the benefit whether it's
managers receive any adequate returns or
not.-Wabasha Herald.
The above is transparency non-
sensical. A railway company is a
common carrier, but the road is not
a public highway" by any means.
A public highway IS a road, or river,
or route of travel, over which the
public generally has equal right to
run carriages, or boats, or vehicles
Of transportation. A railroad is a
private thoroughfare, for the sole use
OF the company COntrOlhng or own
ing it. Being an incorporated com.
pany it is vested with special privi-
leges and subjected to special re-
strictions, but these cannot extend
to constituting it "public highway,
even in a limited sense, for they do
not make it thoroughfare over
which the public may run private
conveyances on equal terms. Ca
nails and turnpikes are public high,
ways" controlled by companies,
because everybody has the right to
run boats or vehicles over them On
| the payment of impartial toll.

The Midland Railroad.

The advocates of this road, who
write for the Zumbrota Independent,
are too angry to be reasonable. So
far from desiring to advise the peo-
pie of that part of the county what
they ought to do in the matter, we
avoided all mention of it until our
opinion was asked for by those at
least equally interested with the
writer's mentioned. It is none Of
Our business how much "Common-
Sense" and "Cue" tax themselves
to build this road, but if they COM
bine to make their neighbor, John
Doe, give all he has to the same OBJ.
ject against his will, and he asks us
to present his case to the public in
order to save him from such inius-
tice, we do not see how we can re-
fuse his request and maintain our
standing as public Journalist.
Suppose Doe should get Roe and
two or, three others to combine with
him, and should take the property
of "Common-Sense and "Cue" to
give it to somebody to build a mill.
The mill might be a needed "public
improvement" but Common
Sense" and "Cue" might, neverthe-
less, object to paying for its erection
for somebody else to own and be
benefited by it. What would they
think, in that case, Of a newspaper
which refused to present their side
Of the case, through fear Of making
Doe, Roe and company angry? We
do not deny that the Midland road
will be benefit to the southern part
Of this county, though we are very
sure that its advocates are exagger-
ating its advantages. But no matter
how beneficial it may be, we con-
tend that the principle of taxing the
public to benefit private enterprise
is wrong, and if the towns must con-
tribute to the building Of the road,
they should possess a proportionate
ownership therein. AS for "keeping
out Of sight the liabilities of stock
holders, we don't understand what
the writer means. If the enterprise
proves unsuccessful the stock-hold-
ers can only lose their investments.
That is the extent Of their liability
under the law. They will certainly
be no worse off, in that case, than
if they give away the amount sub.
scribed as a bonus.
AS for the idea that railroad is
not a private enterprise, because
the owners are an incorporation, it
is all nonsense. True, it is under
certain restrictions, but it also en-.
joys especially compensatory privi
leges; and it may, at any time, sell
out or surrender it's charter anc
cease to operate its road, if the en-
terprise fails to pay. We favor tax
es to improve roads, build bridges
establish free ferries, etc., but these

Nothing has transpired since the last
issue OF the PRICE CURRENT to mar the
| quietude in business circles that has ex.
listed tor these many weeks. Everything
is running along smoothly and quietly
with no change Of importance to note
anywhere. The weather has been clea,
and pleasant, though coal. The river
trade continues very fair, with rates un.
changed.
There is the same old tale to relate OF
the Hour market. Stocks Of all choice
and medium grades are large, with a de.
mani for them that is only moderate.
Low grades are principally inquired for,
and OF these there Is scarcity. Prices
on all grades are firm and unchanged.
Much of the old stock of common and
mixed hay that has so long been dead

gradually, under pretty fair demand
for the past few days, and there is better
feeling among dealers. The supply of
choice stocks is limited with fair de-
mand.
The corn trade has been fair since our
last report, and the supply Oh the mar
ket Is just about sufficient to satisfy the
demand. Prices are firm. The receipts
Of oats continue to be light. There is u
strong demand at prices quoted below.
Meal, both country and city, Is scarce,
and the demand is better than it has been
for many weeks. The market has been
cleaned of both brands by tlatboatment.
Bran is in good supply. The demand is
fair.
The market Is still overstocked with
inferior butter, and sales are very slow.
Strictly choice butter comes in SOW.
and the supply is light, while there Ii IA

coming into market, and the demand at
prices quoted below is strong.
There is a fair supply of poultry. The
demand is good at prices quoted.
There is a good demand at all times

Died.

Mr.. Anthony Courtway, a well-knOwn
citizen of Cairo, died at Vicksburg, Mis-
sissippi, on last Saturday. The deceased
was steamboat engineer and pilot, ia
miliarly and favorably known to all
Ohio and Mississippi river men. having
been in the employ OF Halliday Brothers
aud the Cairo City Coal company as pilot
and engineer on their tugs here for years.
Some three months ago, Mr.. Courtway
was attacked with dysentery, and becom-
ing very weak and feeble, he was advised
by his employers to take trip South, as
it was thought change OF diet and eli
mate would prove of much benefit to him.
Some four weeks ago the deceased left
this city on the steamer Charles Morgon
for New Orleans, where he remained
about two weeks. Not having improved
in health by that time he concluded to
return to his home, and accordingly took
a steamer for this city, but falling SO fas,
he died upon his arrival At vicksburg, on
Saturday. Mr.. Courtway was thorough
gentleman, and highly esteemed and re-
spected by all who knew him. lie was
one of the most valuable of men to his
employers, being regular in habits, thor
oughly.versed in his business, and always
ready and willing. The deceased was a
married man, but had no children. He
leaves wife to mourn his loss, who has
the sympathy of the entire community.
The remains were expected to arrive in
Cairo on the steamer Charles Morgan
last night.
