AID FOR PAPER R4ILROdDS.

- Wv -
The modesty of the railroads will never
lead to their death. These corporations have
never been justly accused of hiding their
light under bushel, and the less claim such
a corporation has upon the public the more
earnest is it in forcing itself to the front.
This was exemplifed in the House yesterday
in very forcible manner.
On Friday of last week Col. Baxter, of
Carver county, offered bill forbidding the
supervisors of the town of Watertown, in
that county, from issuing certain bonds in
aid OF railroads unless by consent of ma
jority of the electors of that town. The bill
was passed under suspension of the rules,
but notice of a motion to reconsider was en-
tered by member from an adjoining coun-
ty. Yesterday that motion was called up.
and pending its discussion communication
was read from the alleged secretary of the
alleged Minneapolis d Northwestern Rail
road company-an organization that has an
existence only on paper-protesting against
the passage of the bill as being an infringe
ment on the rights of the company he repre-
sented. Such effrontery was surprise to
the members, accustomed as they are to ex-
hibitions of check, and they were con-
strained in the face of it to pass the bill
once more.
The true inwardness of this whole busi-
ness is not now State secret and the GLOBE
may give it. Some years ago. when the peo
pie of certain parts of the State were afflict
ed with mania for voting bonds to this,
that or the other person who represented

THERE was a short debate in the House
yesterday on the resolution of Mr.. Bohan
for the appointment of a special committee
to consider what legislation may be necessary
to prevent such combinations as may reduce
the price of Minnesota products. It was as
serted by the father of the resolution and
others that the Minneapolis Millers' associa-
ton had driven all competition out of the
market, and that as consequence the farm
ers were deprived of the right to sell their
wheat to the best advantage. Two members
from Minneapolis insisted that the Millers'
association was benefit to the farmers, and
courted full inquiry as to its operations.
The House, however, took these declarations
with some grains of allowance, and author
lied the committee to proceed and get at the
bottom facts.

THERE is good deal of tribulation in Con-
gress just now as to the manner Of taking the
next census of the United States. But thus
far no determination has been reached, and
the prospect is that the business will be con-
Quoted in the same slip. shod manner as in
past years. Tt would be agreeable to the
population in towns and cities OF acknowl-
edged prominence to have some system
adopted by which the actual population can
be ascertained. We care for facts more
than speculations. We would rather know
by authority whether the population of Chi
cago exceeds that of St, Louis, and whether
the population of st. Paul exceeds that of
Minneapolis. We have had enough of frauds.
We want facts, and are willing to abide by
such facts as are ascertained by legitimate

THE ST. PAUL MORNING. FEBRUARY 1879

| himself as railroad corporation, the towns
in various portions of the State were author
lied by the legislature to issue bonds to aid
| in the construction of railroads. Under this
authority the town of Watertown voted to
issue bonds in aid of the construction of the
Minneapolis d st. Louis railroad. The road
was never built in that direction, and con-
sequently the bonds we're never issued. But
the Minneapolis & Northwestern railroad
stepped in last winter, and procured the
passage of en- act authorizing any town that
had voted bonds to any other corporation to
transfer those obligations to it. This the
people of Watertown did not relish and
therefore applied to the legislature for the
privilege of deciding whether or not they
would cucumber themselves with heavy
load for the benefit of corporation that
had not been in the past and probably would
not be in the future of any benefit to them.
With an effrontery almost unparalleled, this
paper railroad protested against such relief,
insisting that the people of WATERFOWL
should have their pockets picked, with or
without their consent. The amount in
volved was comparatively small, but the
principle involved was important as showing
the animus CT railroads that have, perhaps,
a corporate existence, but have no existence
in fact. 1t is the old story of oppression
and wrong, that has been enacted time and
again in neighboring States. Railroad COM
panies organize ION paper) procure grants of
bonds from towns and counties, and proceed
to collect them, and then proceed to take ad-
vantage of the insolvency act. The result is
that the people pay their money, but they do
not get their railroads.
In the case at issue the presumption is
that the grant of bonds in aid of line of
railroad constructed by the Minneapolis &
Northwestern railroad is swindle. The
company has no substantial existence, and
probably never will build mile of road in
the State of Minnesota. It is catch penny
affair, relying upon gratuities for whatever
work it may accomplish, and to require
any town or county to grant it subsidies
without the consent of that town or county
would be monstrous piece of imposition,
against which every man with only sugges-
ton of fairness in his composition ought to
protest. We are glad that the House has, in
this: instance, put it's foot upon the swindle.

HAYES ought to feel thankful to the Dem

such respectable men as Bayard, Beck, Har-

Democrats, Hayes would now be- playing
second fiddle to the Turveydrop from New
