AN ANrI-RAILRoAD WAR.

An Opinion as to the Result of the Rail-
Toad Discrimination A0atnst st. Paul.
IDOL. Calkins' St. Paul Special to Milwaukee
Sunday Telegraph
There is considerable of an anti-railroad
feeling growing up at this place, and
throughout the State The recent purchase
by the Milwaukee & St. Paul company and
the Northwestern, of the Duluth road, has
created apprehensions that extortionate
charges will be made on the Lake Superior
route, for the purpose of forcing traffic and
travel by the Milwaukee outlet. It is also
transpired recently that thousand mile
tickets had been sold at Chicago and MIL
waukee for 800; while $50 was still charged
at St. Paul to drummers for wholesale deal
ers. The latter caused the greatest COM
motion, and a special meeting of the st.
Paul chamber of commerce was called, at
which incipient steps were taken to
create a. general demand for an
extra session of the legislature for
the purpose of waging q gran
ger crusade against the railroad companies.
Ibis sensational movement has, however,
been checked by the prompt action of Cen
eral Manager Merrill, who has abolished the
discrimination between st. Paul and Chicago
purchasers of thousand mile tickets. The
other apprehension, however, still exists, and
great commercial committees have been
raised to confer with the officers of Canadian
lines of railway in regard to new outlets for
Minnesota products. If there shall be, Also
an increase of freight charges on wheat to
the East, further explosion may be looked
for. 1t is noticeable fact that the present
dlsturbers of the peace against the railroad
companies are not granger demagogues
and rural four-corner politicians,
but tia business men in the cities who be-
fore opposed granger legislation, the iercest
assallants being the original seculators in
Minnesota railways whose hold on the lines
which they partly constructed with other
peoples money, has slipped away as the
lines fell into the hands of the great corpo-
rations. General Manager Merrill and John

in this State, and no session will be held till

MORE money is needed to encourage the
negro exodus to Kansas, and Gov. st. John,
of that State, sends out an appeal to the coun-
try at large for aid. 1t is claimed that great
benefit will ensue to the section to which the
negroes go, and as Kansas will derive all that
benefit we suggest that it is only fair she
should pay the expenses of the emigrants,
without calling on others who will derive no
benefits whatever

THE MEMPHIS NEGROES.

The advices from Memphis are of the
most discouraging character. President
Langstaff, of the Howard association, tele-
graphs that the only safety of the city is in
depopulation, and this cannot be affected
owing to the refusal of the negroes to go out
to the camps. These camps, located in the
suburbs, now contain about twelve thousand
people, only hundred of whom are negroes.
The remainder refuse to leave the city. hop
ing to receive free rations there, having ap-
piled to the government and the people of
the country generally to issue them. In the
camps they would be we'll cared for, and
would be free from danger of contagion
But the facilities for profit from the usually
lndiscriminate manner of issuing rations is
too great temptation to be resisted, and
the cupidity of the blacks has overcome their
sense of danger. Mr.. Langstaf expresses
the hope that the government will issue no
free rations and that the peo-
pie to whom appeals have been made will
disregard them, for the funds on hand are
ample for the proper maintenance of all who
are domiciled at the several camps. The
pangs of hunger, he says, will alone drive
the negroes from the city to the camps.
Of the truth of Mr.. Langstaff' g statements
the dispatches of the past few days are am
pie confederation. Three fourths of those
attacked by the fever in the last week have
been negroes, who are living in the most
filthy novels immaginable, some of them
unit even for the habitations of swine. The
use of force upon them is out of the ques-
ton, as they are largely in excess of whites
in numbers, and such course would add
riot to the already fearful aflictlous of the
city. The only course that can be pursued
is to withhold rations entirely until hunger
compels obedience to the orders of the
health authorities.
We regret exceedingly to note this conduct
on the part of the colored people. The in
stincts of personal safety, if no other consid-
erations, ought to induce obedience to orders
that are so manifestly intended for their own
benefit. But intelligence among them is ap-
parently at low ebb. By remaining they
simply furnish food upon which the fever
may feed, and not only endanger their own
lives, but the lives of those about them.
The physicians and nurses are already over
worked in caring for the sick, and the pros.
pect is that if the epidemic continues to in
crease many must be left without proper
nursing, and will stand poor chance of re-
covery. The health authorities and the How
ards are doing all in their power to prevail
upon the negroes to comply with the request
made to emigrate to the camps, and it is
hoped they will meet with better success in
the future than in the past. The fear is ex-
pressed, however, that the negroes will not
leave the city until they are so thoroughly in
fected that they will spread the contagion
among those who emigrated earlier. At any
rate, we trust no citizen of the North will be
SO foolish as to assist them to maintain their
obstinate attitude longer.

NEWMAN HALLS DIVORCE.

Parties dire Guilty.

The summing Up and the Better That Both
Parties 4re Guilty.
[Cable to Cincinnati Enquirer
After the arrangements for the plaintiff
and defendant in the sction brought ty the
Rev. Newman Hall against his wife for adul
terry, the judge in summing up analysed the
motives OF the parties to the suit, and COM
mented at length upon the manner in which
they had been manifested in action. The
tendency of his remarks was to exonerate
Hau from any improperly in desiring and
bringing suit for divorce from his wife.
who, as there was evidence to show, had
wronged him with the view of entering mon
second marriage. In commenting unon the
wifes reluctance to submit to the coniuual en-
brace he characterized it as one of the first and
most pronounced symptoms of an illicit at
tachment. 1t had moreover been assigned
and sworn to by witnesses, that Hall had
treated his vito with tender consideration.
The Judge then passed under review the law
a1tectlng adultery and the legal evidence,
showing enthusiastically its commission.
lie said that the ofense was one rarely sus-
ceptlble of direct proof, and that opportuni-
ties, both OF place and time, had generally
been admitted as proper circumstances to
guide the verdict of the jury. The Jury
must, however, consider all that had been
offered in evidence as to any peculiar struct-
ural formation of the defendant, but must
discard any unsupported insinuations of
counsel. The jury must also beware of i'm

out at the same time FORGETTING her honor.
Richardson, the stable-keeper, was shown to
have been man unfit in more respects than
one for association upon intimate terms with
Mrs. Hall. The change was felt to be
strangely in favor of the plaintiff, and
verdict was given in his favor. Mr.. Hall il
therefore released and can select another
affinity to whom the general opinion is that
he has for some time owed the reparation Of
marriage. His in1uenc. is universally ba-
lieved to be at an end, and whether his wife
be guilty or not, nobody believes that he
himself is free from sin. The comments Of
those newspapers which support the verdict
DO not fairly represent the general current
OF opinion, and even Halls friends blame
him for what they call extraordinary len
lency. Hall is man of some influence,
and his wife, now divorced, of course, has
none.

From the best information we can obtain
our wheat crop this year will not fall short
OF forty millions of bushels, and may exceed
that amount. OF this amount about two
millions of bushels will be required for bread
and seed for the coming year. The surplus
wheat and other products will net to the
farmers at least fifty millions of dollars, or
an average of fifty dollars for every man,
