Tic Benson Times, in an able article ON
the success of our efforts to secure the COM
pletion of the Little Falls s. Dakota Rail-
road, takes occasion to make some plain
and sensible remarks on The true situation
of affairs ON this line of road, and ridicules
the abortive efforts of interested parties to
throw cold water upon the enterprise.
Speaking of the st. P, NJ & NJ, the Times
says:
This road knows that it would be great
injury to them in having this line construct
! ed aud are doing all in their power 10 stop
the present arr ngements, and have run
preliminary lines from Alexandria & Sauk
Centre. Doubtless they thought the people
would be green enough to not see their
plan, and had they succeeded in inducing
the people to not vote bonds, they would
have been successful in their maneuver.
as ii is they are disappointed AS the present
indications show that the Little Falls 81
Browns Valley Road will rroTe q reality
unless they are bought off The construc
| ti0n of this road would aiso be detrimental
to the cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis,
unless the st. p, Nj. s. Nj. II. II. can ar.
range 10 make this line feeder to Their
road. These cities are well aware that il
would take away a vast amount of businesl
from them, but they do not take into cun
sideration the benefits that would result tc
the people in these treeless regions to hav,
that road built The question bf fuel i.

number of years. aud tile people would no
be SO outrageously imposed upon as unde
J the management Of Mr.. Hill.

J conundrums which are difficult to answer
: 1t asks why is it that people living ahos

The Saltwater Gazette thinks that If that

The village of Donnelly, in this county,
is going backward, as the last merchant in
to Willmar. Donnelly never has had much
of a show to go ahead Morris on one
side, and Herman or the other, have drawn
the trade of the surrounding country away
from that village, and the result is about
as anticipated. There is an elevator at
that station, but owing TO the prices of
wheat being higher at points above and be-
low, the grain and trade went elsewhere.

Are we to have a fuel supply, or not?
This important question requires speedy
answer, and we wish to say 81 few plain
words, as to what is the duty of the rail-
road company. In the first place, either
the company must keep supply of fuel at
its stations on the prairie, or else they must
allow dealers to do SO. Provision will
have to be made against the possible cor
tingrncy of a fuel famine during the win
ter months, as blockade of the line Tor
two days would if it occurred at present, ex.
haust the supply The railroad company
furnishes wood in carload lots, but this
plan does not and will not answer; poor
people require fuel, and they cannot buy it
in six cord lots, for the reason they have
not the money, it is simply impossible
to club together, and they cannot wait un-
| til the wood is delivered. Several of our
business men will keep sui ply of wood
on hand if they can do 80 and not lose
money at it, but the railroad company re
quire them to agree not to charge over
fifty cents per cord for handling it. This
is not possible unless measure is guaranteed,
but as we are required to take whatever
may be left on car, for six cords, it can
readily be seen that it would be anything
but paying business. The intention OF
the company in requiring dealers to retail
wood at fair prices, is good, and dealers
would agree, were they to be paid for time
aud trouble hut it is simply nonsense to
ask them to do business at loss We
while appreCiating the railroad company.
evident anxiety to protect our interests
would be better satisfied if the company
would attend to their legitimate business
and furnish the fuel to dealers without ask
ing or requiring any stipulations, as we ar
confident competition would prevent extor
ton. The people are willing to pay 70
the fuel; they viii pay any dealer u fai

Halstead On sherman.

MuFat Halstead, ot the Cincinnati
Commercial, has been interviewed on
the candidacy Of Secretary Sherman
for the Presidency, and spoke as fol-
lows:
Sherman is a man who, like Gen
eral Grant, has placed The country I'M
der a great obligation. General
Grant guided the armies Of the Union
to the overthrow Of the rebellion.
Secretary Sherman guided the Gnan-
ees of the country 10 the resumption
of specie payments Both figured in
important crises Of the couutry's his
tory. Grant has been rewarded. Sher-
man will be. Shermau's chances for
the nomination are excellent. lie is a
very clear headed man, and, moreover,
what some of his enemies affect not
TO believe, an honorable man. He
lives a very pure, clean ife-aboye
reproach-and is much given to hard
work. His mind is constantly taken
up with the affairs Of State, which lie
handles with mastery judgment.
John Sherman is not a theorist but
a practical statesman. There is nc
man in the Republican party tina,
would bring greater strength to the
party in 1880. AS to the Grant move
ment, its strength is by no means to
be despissd. | think that in fact, it is
very dangerous. Bnt [ think Sher
