The New Railroad.

There is a good deal more to that al
legged project for branch of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad from
Austin to the Whitewater valley-recent-
ly referred to in these columns-than
might at first glance appear. Such a
road would pass through one of the
finest wheat growing sections Of Min
nesota, draining some of the most pro-
ductive portions of the counties Of Now
er, Dodge, Olmsted, Fillmore, Wabasha
and Wlnona, and would thus prove a
most valuable feeder to the main line.
Except at its terminl, it would in no de.
gree draw upon the country through
which either OF the other lines of the
same company pass, although it would
considerably trench upon what is now
the exclusive territory of the Winona
and st. Peter and the Southern Mlnneso-
ia roads. That portion of the projected
route from Austin to the point of crossing
the Winona and st. Peter offers as good
Inducements to railroad construction as
any other similar extent of unoccupied
country in the State. There is no better
wheat producing area than that lying be.
tween the Winona and st Peter road and
the Southern Minnesota, and new line
of railroad passing through It would
bring good recOmpense to its owners In
the traffic which It must inevitably re.

WONDER in what shape tho old swim
ding bond proposition will come before
the State legislature this winter? 1t has
been voted down by the people so often
that the holders Of the bogus bonds must
begin to think that the citizens of Min
nesota are not fools, and cannot be induc-
ed to pay debt that they do not owe.-
Preston Republican,.
Now, we have good deal of regard
for Brother Wall, and we are surprised
that he should play the demagogue so.
Such sentiments are unworthy OF him.
We ,h ink there are very few candid, hon
est, intelligent men in the State OF Min
nesota who thoroughly understand this
bond business, but that will say that the
bonds cost the holders something, and
that that something ought to be paid.
The bonds are not bogus; they were reg
ularly issued by the state authorities, and
the State acknowledges to have received
in exchange for them a large number Of
miles of graded road bed throughout the
State It certainly seems to US as though
no honest man could favor the entire re-.
pudiation of this debt. There Is equity
In the bonds, and that equity ought to be
adjusted by the Legislature, and then
paid by the State.

The Indie tine mt of Sheriff Hall.

We have refrained from saying anything
in regard to the indictment of Sheriff
Hall over in Freeborn county, expecting
that the case would come to immediate
trial; and Mr.. Hall, feeling that the pub
lie might construe our explanation o.
the matter as an attempt to prejudice the
case, requested us to say nothing in re
gard to it for the present. But as tht
trial has been put over until Januar,
Goth, we think word from us would be
highly proper. AS we understand it
the simple statement Of the affair is this
The woman Billedeaux took the shaw
from Mr.. Halls store. He, with Fred
Allen, his deputy, followed her to hel
home, but, upon seeing them in then
poverty, and knowing the distress il
would bring upon her little children, he
received payment for the shawl and his
expenses out there, from the husband
and came away. He took pay for what
was his own, and in no way compounded
the felony. Ifany one feels aggrieved, lei
them make complaint and have the wo-
man arrested. It is not too late. Mr..
Hall forgot Tor the moment that he
was sheriff of Mower county, and like
true man-God bless hlm-simply
obeyed the Golden Rule. He must have
forgotten also that Deputy Allen was a
man without honor or principle. We
pity any man, God knows, who must de-
pend on Fred. Aliens version of truth in
regard to anything where he can serve a
purpose by telling falsehood. And we
pity this Allen too, not only in this life,
but more in that which is to come, for
the measure he meets out here will GER
tainly be measured out to him by and by.
Mr.. Hal. also forgot that Sherman Page
was still Judge of this district-that to
ruin all who failed to bow the knee, was
the desire of his life, and that his heart
was still set on avenging his enemies.
We do not know that Page had anything
~ uO WIFI tulS 4uu4ClluCut
county, but we do know that he used all
his influence to have him indicted in
Mower county. But as the occurrence
took place in Freeborn, of course there
was not shadow Of a chance for his
Indictment here. Sherman Page! We
say now, as we have many times before,
there is day of trial for YOU, too; and
for all these things God will bring you to
judgment. "'Thinkest thou this, 0 man,
that thou shalt escape the judgment
of God. The goodness of God leadeth
thee to repentance, but thou art treasur-
ing up unto thyself wrath against the day
of wrath" We believe Mr.. Hall to be
an upright, honest, christian man, and we
believe his simple story, and believing
these things, we consider the whole
thing spite work, from the beginning to
the end. And we are very sorry that Mr..
Hall should be obliged to meet the ex-
pense of trial for an offense of which
he is certainly not guilty.
