THE EUROPEAN VAR.

Russia, Notwithstanding occasional
repulses, :! is steadily gaining ground
against the Turks: The overthrow of
Turkey, if: Russia is left to fight the
Turks alone, is only question Of time,
and short time at that. But when
Russia attempts to seize Constantine
pie England will no doubt he again
drawn intowar, and then such compli-
cations will arise as will draw other
European powers into the contest. T..
We believe that the religions and the
political elements, of Europe are ripe
for general war, and that within a
year or two it will come. If the Unit
ed States can manage to keep her fin.
gers out of the pie, she will reap great
harvest by supplying the combatants.
THE s0U1HWEsTERN RAILROAD
A railroad meeting was held at VIM
mebago City, on Thursday last, Nov.
%, for the pupose Of organizing Rail-
road Company to be called the ''South-
western Railway Company" the object
being to build a railroad from Winnie
bago City to Worthington. The Or
ganization was effected by electing the
following officers:
President-J. A. Armstrong, of
Fairm0nt.
Vice President-W. r. Bennett,
Worthington.
Secretary-T. J. Edwards, of Martin
county.
Treasurer-R. B. Johnson, of Blue
Earth City.
Attorney-Andrew G. Dunn, of
Winnebago City,
Executive Committee Geo. B.
Kingsley, Erick Oleson, J. W. Cowing.
We understand that il, this company
is successful in carrying out their pro-
ject> an Iowa line will build to Blue
Earth City, thus giving us another
route to the coal fields, which will re-
duce~ the price Of ENTHUSIASTICALLY.
We hope that among the various pro-
jects to cover the gap between here and
Winnebago, some one viii succeed with
in the next year or two. 80 x:

The Ogdensburg Railroad.

TO the Editor Of the Press.
As your columns are open to fres discussion
of the relation of this road to the interests of
the people of PoItlIGd, like Elisha of oil also
would give mine opinion. In calculating the
results of this road upon the business of our
city but little has been said of the trade which
must be furnished By noIthern Vermont. A
few days since produce dealer from the
Lamoille valley called on me to give him an
introduction to some of the butter dealers in
this city, as he wished to prospect for the sale
of that article. l very gladly rendered him all
the assistance in my power, and learned from
him that the amount of his sales in the items of
butter and eggs exceeded one hundred thous-
and dollars annually; that these were gathered
from little territory about 10 miles long by 10
wide and his purchases did not exceed 20 to %
per cent, of the amount produced in that terri
tory. Now this is Is miles of the 11S between
Connecticut River and Lake Champlain and
gives an idea of two only of the articles of farm
production which this region furnishes. The
whole belt of land traversed in Vermont by this
road is unsurpassed in New England for fer
tility and the productions of the soil. In
maple sugar the amount manufactured is more
than double that OF the whole state of Maine
1T anyone questions the truth of these state
mentS let MIN look at tn6 agricultural STATISTICS
of the last census and compare the productions
of the three counties of Caledonia. Lamoille
and Franklin, and the towns in Essex and
Orleans counties which are contiguous to this
road with any other territory of equal size in
New England. If he will look through our
market he will be surprised to find how large
proportion of the butter sold here comes
from Vermont and from this same sec
Iion Of the state above described. Also
that it passes through the hands of the
Boston dealers, who sell tue choicest
of it in their own city, and the lower grades
supply our market so far as it is supplied with
the Vermont article Northern Vermont is
destined to be by far the wealthiest farming
section of New England, and its entire terri
tory lies seventy-five miles nearer to us than to
Boston. Is it not then matter of great inter-
est to us that the railroad which opens this bus
iness to US should be in the hands of parties
who would look to the interests OF Portland in
its management. [ have very serious doubts
whether the city's interest in the road can be
sold without greatly endangering cur interest
in the business which it may be made to bring
us. | hope, therefore, that our people after
having burdened themselves in building this
road will not wantonly throw away the benefits
which may be mate to accrue to us from it, up
on the very Threshold of their realization. In
another article l will glance at some other
items of business for the road.

a SwINDLE ExPosED,-Within two or three
years the farmers of New England Lave been
made the victims OF a swindle by the "Grsn-
lite Agricultural Works" so called, of Lebanon,
N. H., c. b. Mahan, agent, whose method OF
doing business is something like this Their
agent finds man of means who wants mow-
ing machine, offers him four or five at liberal
discount and makes him agent of his. town.
After the trade is finished, the agent produces
a note of his ''new-made agent" for which he
gives him a contract stipulating that the far
mer has bought of the "Granite Agricultural
Works" certain articles, and that he is to have
to a certain date to sell. Then if the goods
are not sold the company will send an agent to
assist in the sale; and if neither succeeds in
selling by certain date the company will take
them off his hands, and pay him the same
price at which they were billed to him, with all
money paid out for railroad freight charges on
the same from their factory. If the goods are
sold before the said date then the note given
for the same shall be paid the same as II this
agreement had not been given. But it forgets
