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 a noticeable fact that the present
disturbers of the peace against the railroad
companies are not granger demagogues
and rural four-corner politicians,
but the business men in the cities who be-
fore opposed granger legislation, the fercest
assailsnts being the original secuiatOEs 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 eorpo-
rations. General Manager Merrill and John
G. Gault reached St. Paul Thursday. and
have been in constant conference with bCsi-
ness men and leaders of public opinion, and
the present determination of affairs may be
changed. II the agitation continnes, how
ever, it would not be surprisin if Gov. Pills
bury, who is a candidate for re election
should call an extra session as a shrewd po-
litical dodge. The biennial system prevails
in this State, and no session will be held till,
1881, unless one is specially called.

AN ANrI-RAILRoAD WAX.

Sunday telegraph.
There is considerable of an anti-railroad
feeling growing up at tins place, and
throughout the State. The recent purchase
by the Milwaukee d st. Paul company and
the Northwestern, of the Duluth road, has
created apprehensions that extortionafe
charges will be made on the Lake Superior
route, for the purpose of forcing traffic and
travel by the Milwaukee outlet. 1t IS also
transpired recently that thousand mile
tickets had been sold at Chicago and Mil
waukee for ssa0; While $50 was still charged
at St. Paul 70 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 OK waging a gran
GER crusade against the railroad compan es-
This sensational movement has, however,
been checked by the prompt action Of Gen
eral Manager Merrid. who has abolished the
discrimination between St. Paul and Chicago
purchasers of tho1sgna mile tickets. The
other apprehension, however, still exists, and
great commercial committees have been
