GIVE US THE RAILROADS..

The legislative railroad committees are still
holding under consideration the bills which
lift the DeGraff lien from the st. Paul &
Pacific lands. In the meantime the mem
bers of the Legislature from the upper part
of the State are holding conferences to en-
deavor to agree upon line of policy in the
matter.
We confess to some surprise at there be-
ing any necessity for such conferences.
We do not see how a Senator or
Representative from Northern Minnesota
can face his constituents if he opposes re-
moving that lien. For years that section of
the State has been shut off from the world.
The people have been deprived from access
to markets, their property has been kept
down and they have been practically cut off
from civilization. Their constituents de-
mand, and have a right to demand, that they
shall SO legislate as to lift this incubus
which has for years been weighing
them down. They ought to be only too
anxious to secure this boon for the people.
While there are but few who do not view it
in this light, it is astonishing that there is
even single one who can be so blind to his
own interests; who can wish to organize his
own funeral by opposing this measure.
If these extension lines are not built this
year the land grants are surely lost. 1t is
more than,a AN even chance that they will
be lost in any event, and
the men who prefer to aid
the collection of private claim instead of
securing railroads for their section, are GER
tain to be lost with them.
While this legislation is of immense local
importance to the section named, it is of
still greater importance to the State at large.
The advantage accruing to the business in
terests of the State, and especially to the
commerce of St. Paul and Minneapolis, is
simply incalculable. The connection
with the Canadian Pacific opens an
empire and pours its business into Mime
sofa. Every line of road extending South
or East taps the State and carries to st.
Louis, Chicago, OF centers farther east the
trade which really belongs at home. Every
line of road extending North or West tends
to build up and develop Minnesota. The
Canada Pacific road will have an outlet to
the East. If Minnesota does not furnish
one the projected line in another
direction will be pushed to COM
pletion. The business men of the
State have, in the completion of these lines,
the greatest boon ever offered them The
St. Paul & Pacific bondholders have the
means, and are ready to build the coming
season to Pembina and Alexandria. They
do not ask an acre of the encumbered
lands until both lines are completed. They
simply ask that they may have the 100000
acres if the grant should be renewed by
Congress-, and they offer in addition to go
into the State supreme court to determine the
equities possessed by DeGraf & Co.
In view of such proposition, there should
not be moments delay in the matter. The
State cannot and mast not go into the claim
agency business. It cannot afford to subor-
dinate the public welfare to that of private
wishes, and those members of the Legisla-
ture who propose to do SO, will do it at their
peril.

THE SCHOOL BOOK FRAUD.

OF all the pernicious jobs which have been
inflicted upon the people of Minnesota, the
school book legislation is the worst. It has
no redeeming feature. 1t is most oppres-
sive legislation with no other practical result
than to subserve the interests of D. Apple
ton & Co., of New York. Turn it which way
you will to this complexion it must come at
last. The sham plea that the job is for the
benefit of the people has undoubtedly gulled
many into honestly supporting the measure.
The course of the leading friends of the
measure ought to open the eyes of the blind.
Their constant dread has been lest the peo-
pie should have some voice in this measure
which is to be their very salvation. We
venture to say that never before has there
been such persistent howl in behalf of the
effort to deprive the people from any
part in this matter save that
blessed privilege of being swindled
The Senate appears to be bound hand and
foot to Donnelly's chariot, and hence under
his lash the so-called supplementary bill was
whipped through. The law of last winter
under which Mr.. Merrill made his con-
tract was not sufficient, because as MIR. Don
nelly naively expressed it, it did not give
them the fund, and the ft7ad is what they
are after. Hence this supplementary bill
placing 100000 at the disposal of the
contractor as working capital.
TO secure this fund the school districts
are to be robbed of the means to pay their
teachers, buy fuel and pay other incidental
expenses. But what does the rich and pomp-
GUS firm of d. Appleton & Co., of New York,
care for the poor school teachers. It is the
t;und they are after and the .tund they must
have, if every school district in the State is
rendered bankrupt.
The House had the courage and wisdom to
SO amend this Ubiquitous bill that three
fourths of the voters of a county could re-
ject it and save their money. We say cour-
age and WISDOM with a good deal of qualiti-
cation, for it ought to have been defeated
outright, or, at least, been submitted to a
majority vote. Still, in the face of
the whip and spur, the three-fourths
amendment was something of an
achievement. Now if this bill is so much in
the interest of the people does any one i'm
agine that the Merrill-Appleton crowd would
have feared such an amendment? If one
Jou1N of the voters wanted the Merrill
books the contract would be in force. but
they do not dare to run the risk even of Sc
curing one-fourth. Was there ever such a
confession of fraud as this attempt to
stiae the popular voice? The CRY
was raised that it would be fatal

The people of the United States know
Wells. They know that he has for years
been an outcast in his own State, man
whose very touch was pollution. They
know that he has lent himself to all the un-
holy schemes for the plundering of his State
and has fattened upon her poverty. They
know that he has not only once, but time
and again lent himself to perjury, in order
that the ring of which he is member
might perpetuate its power. They know
that he has attempted to bleed the United
States government by fraudulent claims, and
that he and his family have fastened them
selves with the grip of vampires upon the
civil service. They know that his vote as
member Of the returning board was for sale
in open market, and that he did not do his
duty as returning officer simply because
he was not paid to do it. Phil. Sheridan's
denunciation of him as one of the worst
men that the war brought to the surface in
bad community is not forgotten. With all
this knowledge of him, his antecedents and
associations, they knew exectly what weight
to attach to his vulgar TRADE
against the people whom he has
wronged and against the men who are
charged with the duty of making him suffer
the penalty of his crimes. His violent out
burst should not stimulate the prosecution to
the point of persecution, but neither should
it cause the arm of justice to pause for an
instant either through fear or mercy.
