OUR COMING

Our announcement of yesterday that ar
arrangement had been effected whereby thu
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
company was to extend its road into Yank
ton gave none of the details of the trans
action. Most OF our citizens are familiar
with the entire transaction and we do not
care to 90 into the minute particulars
A consideration was necessary to accom-
plish the object aimed at, but In fixing ur
this the company has been extremely lib
eral. The expense to the business men and
property owners of Yankton will probably
not exceed fifteen thousand dollars and we
can we'll afford to pay that sum to break
the backbone of a monopoly which is every
dsv becoming more oppressive and exact
ing. The proposition of the railroad COM
pany is to extend its line from a point at or
near Maxwell City, which is about twenty
five miles up the Dakota river, TO the city
of Yankton. No special route is to be ad-
hered to, so that our committee will be able
to place it along a line which offers the best
encouragement. The understanding is that
The extension is to be graded and ironed at
once. The work can be completed in sixty
days, as the grade is an easy one. The ex.
act point of departure from the westward
course already indicated by the company's
operations. 1t is presumed, is not definitely
fixed in the contract made between the
Yankton committee and the officers of the
road. AS already indicated, it will be
somewhere in the ~neighborhood of Max
we'll City. The location of a depot here in
the city is yet to be decided and the best
interests of the community will be consult
ed in this choice.
1t is hardly necessary for US to recite the
advantages which will come to Yankton
out of this transaction. We all know what
they ale and we all feel a sense of relief
and encouragement such as has not perme-
a:ed our commercial circles since Yankton
became a trading point. Under the extor-
tionate demands Of the pool lines which
made this point a terminus our business in.
terests have 0een paralyzed and the machln-
cry of trade run at q low pressure. An
unjust discrimination In favor Of competing
points east and west has kept the tide of
fortune at q low ebb. Through this condi.
ton trade which naturally belonged to US
has been diverted and We are the losers
thereby. Under this imposition our peo'
PIE have been very patient and f~orgiving
and have habitually kissed the hand which
smote them. In spite of these serious
drawbacks, Yankton has steadily grown
and year by year has added to its wealth
This has been accomplished through thu
business grit of its people and an unyield'
Ing determination not to be put down by
adverse circumstances. This same spirit
still remains with US, and when the Mil
waukee rosd comes with its reduced freigl,
tariff it can be employed to the attainment
of far better results than have yet attended
our efforts. Yankton once placed upon al
equal footing with competing points viii
take a leading position in the race and hole
it for all time to come.

law-making power shall take the mat
ter in hand. Two objects ought to be
accomplished. First, to compel the
companies to ship for Tennesseeans on
at least as good terms, if not better,
than for producers Of other States.
Secondly, to compel them to take our
produce when offered In advance Of for
eigu produce. and thus secure to our
farmers the benefit Of the first market
If this legislation can be secured it
will result in immense benefit to our
farmers, saving annually hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. The extra u
cents charged to the farmers of East
ern Tennessee on the crop Of 1878, if
they could have had the benefit Of it,
would have paid half the taxes Of that
portion Of the State. In the views
here advanced, nothing Is said Of the
goods Of ali kinds, groceries, hardware;
etc, shipped from the East on which
higher rates are charged to the ship
pers in East Tennessee than to Allan
ia, Mexico or Montgomery in the
South, or to Nashville, Memphis and
other points Of the West. These are

LEGINLATIYE CLAP.TRAP.

Last Sabbath the Rev. DR.. T.
\. Hoyt Of the First Presbyteri-
an Church, Nashville, preached
an instructive and eloquent ser
mon on Righteousness cxait-
eth a nation but sin Is a reproach
to any people, The learned di-
vine enforced the truth that pull
lie virtue is public safety and that
Wrong-doing in a nation is national
iisnonor and an offence to the
Most High.
Forthwith on Monday morning
the Lower House Of the Tenncs-
see General Assembly formally
adopted a resolution censuring
the reverend gentleman for his
pulpit uttcrances on that occa-
sion.
That august body conceived
that their legislative integrity
had been attacked and hence the
assailant should receive Iegisla-
tive casfigation. We regretto see
Jhat our Representative Manson
seconded such a movement. The
Legislature had as we'll dart
straWs against Il whirwind as TO I'M
lcrtake 10 stille free speech in
the pulpit or suppress the enuEc :
alton Of individual opinions on
any public question. Represent
tatives were not elected to cstab-
iish State censorship whereby
disagreement with their views
shall receive public rebukc.
Moreover, why s1uanIer their
per-diem and trille away precious
time in adopting resolutions OF
the sheerest senseIessness.
Such conduct is objectionable
in men commissioned to deal
with the wci@htiest matters OF
State-craft and delegated to Ifs
great State out OF the slough Of
deep despond.
But the climax Of foolish pueriIi-
ty was reached later in the SEES
sion of that day, when this digni-
lied body we presume pIayfuIly,
but don't know pitched into the
Literary aud Debating society OF
Trenton for discussing the qnes
ton, "Resolved, that Gov. Albert
s. Marks is a humbug' and threat
ened to revoke the charter OF
that town if such debates be con
tinued. 1t may be amusing to
legislative actors to enact such Il
farce but the people are not in a
humor to applaud such waste of,
their money and manifest perver-
sion Of a delegated trust.
To the ere lit Of the Upusa be il
said that the vote censuring DR..
Hoyt was rc-considered, though
after much debate. Revclers
revcl in tie Capitol while the
name and good fame Of the State
is spit upol in the shamblcs Of
the commercial world.
