THE MARQUETTE & MACKlNAW

The building of the Marquette &
Mackinaw railroad is matter of interest
to the whole state. The publication of
the rumored combination to grab the
grant of land made to aid in Its construc-
ton, had the effect to bring the import
ance of the road before the public, and
We are in hupes that the result will be
some legislation that will hasten its con
struction. We think it has been fully
demonstrated that nothing can be expect
cd from the parties who have been fig
uring as contractors for the past two
years, and the sooner they are dropped
the better it will be for the state. Inter-
es;ed as the southern portion of the state
is, O. should be, in the construction OF
this roal. we think there should be found
sufficient capital to push the matter
through, Detroit, as the commercial
city OF The state, should be deeply inter-
ested in its completion. TIE business
me of that city have been neglecting
their interests long enough. They have
allowed Chicago, by her enterprise, to
reach out and secure trade that legit-
imately belongs..to their own city. 1t is

already built up, but also prospective
trade which would naturally result I. ON
