THE CONTEST FOR THE 100000
ACRES.

THE CONTEST FOR THE 100000
ACRES.
The contest between the st. Paul & Pacific
RACES, though symptoms of compromise
we're visible last evening. Senator Nelson's
bill developed great strength last night and
will undoubtedly pass the Senate, unless it
shall be superseded by some compromise bill
satisfactory to both sides.
The injustice of allowing private claim
to prevent the State from securing these i'm.
portant lines of roads becomes more appar
ent, the more it is considered.
DeGraff & Co. were sub-contractors
under Moorehead and their claim is for
building portions of the st. Paul & Pacific
after the money furnished by the bondhold-
ers had been exhausted, large part of
which (about $3,0OO,00O had been diverted
to purposes entirely disconnected from this
line. They stopped work and claimed
large amount to be due them from the rail-
road for which they brought suit, and in the
meantime in 1874 they gotta bill through
the Legislature making their claim q
lien on the lands accruing to the roads,
The courts decided that as their contract was
with Moorhcad and not with the railroad,
they must look to Moorhead for their pay.
1t was also decided that the act of the Legis-
lature making the DeGraf claim lien upon
the land, was unconstitutional. Messrs.
| DeGraff Co. then sued Moorehead and got
Judgment against him for the balance due
them-some $467, OOO-upon which the sew
eral amounts have been paid.
| We have taken pains to make this state
ment for the reason that we desire to show
that De Graft g. Co. have not now and never
have had any legal claim against the rail
road Moorhead took the contract to build
the road and they contracted with him, and
the courts have set aside every action that
tended to locate any of their claims against
the property.
The act of 1877 made it compulsory on any
company building under this act that 100000
acres of land should be held to pay theil
claim. This was undoubtedly good thing
for DeGraf & Co., but as it prevented the
building of the road it was very unfair to tn,
people of the State, and especially so to tn,
Sank Valley. The bondholders entered
written protest against the act of 1877, ane
have never assented to it, and are in nowis,
responsible for it.
In the face of these facts it is difficult t,
see why any member of the Legislature, ant
particularly any from Northern Minnesota
should for moment stand in the way o
lifting this unjust lien. The benefits to tn
State by securing these extension lines viii
aggregate millions, and while we would b
glad to see DeGraff & Co.'s claim paid il
full, they should look to the real debtors an,
not retard the DEVELOPMENT of the State.

Temperance Meeting a. City Hall.

A very enthusiastic temperance meeting was
held at City Hall last evening. number OF
temperance workers occupied seats on the
platform. Amony them were Ex-Governor
Dingley, Judge Kingsbury, Capt. Coyle, G.
w. Goodman and A. Little. Mayor Butler
presided and a select choir furnished music.
Gen. Neal Dow made few Introductory
remarks speaking of DR.. Lees who was going
to address the meeting. He said he was
pioneer in the temperance cause in England.
He favored prohibition when it was intensely
unpopular to do so. For years he furnished
the sciense and philosophy of temperance. For
this Maine people should be glad to see and
hear him, bat for still greater reason should
they welcome him. During the rebellion when
Southern sympathizers were doing their worst
in England DR.. Lees was taking the stand for
the North in opposition to the best men in the
country. These remarks by Gen. Dow
warmed up the audience and when Mayor
Butler introduced DR.. Lses of England and he
was heartily received. He took broad view
of the temperance question. He believed that
science teaches that intoxicating Liquor is not
good, that the bible speaks against its use in
any form and that ancient writer's and great
men who wrote 1000 years ago were in favor of
prohibition. To prove these statements he
reads quotation after quotation, He said some
people drank in England because they did not
know it injured them, others because it was
fashionable and others because it helped their
business to do SO. He thought that the only
way to get rid of the temptation was to drive
out the traffic. You have tried it in Maine and
some say it is failure, but do not find it so.
At least should like to see just such a failure
in England.

AN EXCELLENT IDEA.-There has long been
a feeling that there should be some place where
medicine could be procured at night in this
city. There has been number Of cases where
life itself depended upon the procurement of
medicines at night. To do this has been a very
difficult NATTER but at last there is relief, and
it is certain that all will rejoice to learn the
fact. Mr. A. G. Schlotterbeck, the we'll known
apothecary, has engaged competent prescrip-
ton clerk, who will stop at his store all night
and be in readiness to put up prescriptions.
The clerk is graduate Of the Boston School of
Pharmacy, and is capable to attend to the
wants Of all who call. AS the store is in the
centre of the city, it will be convenient for all
classes. Mr.. Schlotterbeck has won good
reputation as an apothecary in Portland, and
he prides himself on keeping none but the best
