An attempt will be made during the
present session of the legislature, to secure
il grant of swamp lands, from the state,
to aid in the construction of the Little Falls
& Dakota railroad enterprise. The friends
of this movement, and they are increasing
in numbers daily, must expect to meet de-
termincd opposition, in every direction,
and at every step. 1t is known that the
St. P, NJ & NJ railroad is not the only
opponent VIC have to do battle with; there
are other monopolies to fight; and unless
the friends of the Little Falls & Dakota
railroad, and other kindred enterprises,
combine together and work unitcdly and
faithfully for the best interests of each
other, We fear but little will be accom-
opponents, who will leave no stone I'm
turned, and scruple at nothing to strangle
the efforts which the people are compelled
to make, to save being plundered by soul
less corporations, and robbed by grasping
and INSCRIPTIONS monopolies. 1t is a fgh!
between competition and monopoly; and
those who note the consolidation of trans
portation lines, and other public enterpris
es, cannot but view with alarm the almost
Unlimited power placed in the hands Of a
few individual capitalists, who can, if Sc
disposed, rob us before our very eyes, and
we are utterly powerless to help it. OF
course we have a remedy: that the lcgisla
ture has power to control-the highest
courts in the land have declared-and it is
there and in the courts the battles sooner
or later will be fought; there we must draw
a line, and in the interest of the laboring
| classes, as against capital, decree how f"l
these m nopolics are to be allowed to &C
| before they can be checked or their power
broken AS to what we are to expect from
the St P, NJ. & NJ railroad, the following
extract from letter from the genera
manager, written to 4 citizen of Ottcrtai
county, will show. We will say, the
better to explain the reasons for such &
threat, that the citizens of that county arc
about to vote on the question of issuing
bonds to the amount of one hundred anc
| fifty thousand dollars in aid of railroad
to tap the Northern Pacific The follow
! ing are the remarkable words used in Mr.
| Hills communications: 1--WE will endeavol
to take whatever steps are necessary tt
render the investment useless one to those
who propose to invest their money in it
We have too large an interest at stake no
to he able at ali times to give it necessary

The senatorial contest, contrary to cx-
pectations, terminated in II completeewalk-
over for Mcmillan, who was rcnominated
on the first informal ballot by an immense
majority. While the result is eminently
satisfactory to the majority of republicans,
the outcome of the contest is somewhat
of a surprise, beth rs regards the unex-
pected strength developed by the senator
elect and the surprisingly small following
and support mustered together by Ramsey.
Senator Mcmillan was entitled to the hon
or of u re election: and while there are
many Objectionable features connected
with the manner in which it was brought.
about, yet as the same tactics were en-
ployed by his opponents; and rs like means
are always employed, it looks very silly for
Ramsey's friends TO raise Il cry of fraud
over the result Ramsey, it is now evil
dent, had no chance whatever of securing
the nomination; and hence, as that gentle
man and his friends employed the same
discr, ditable means to procure votes, as
are always 'resorted to by every candidate
at every election, this crying and bowling
over the result looks not only absurd but
childish, as the facts go to show that Nc
Millan's supporters simply beat them a,
their own game. OF course it is to be
regretted that the politics of the country is
so foul; but VIC all know it is rotten &c
| the core; and to single out McMillan's
election as the first and only occasion in
which the will and wishes of the people OF
this state have teen ignored, is nonsensica
in the extreme. The people have no voice
in such matters, haven't had for many
years, and that it is unfortunately so Wa.
brought distinctly to their notice about the
time the federal office holders, backed by
some of those very hypocrites who are now
holering fraud, engineered and made thu
state ridiculous in the eyes of the whole
nation, by selling it, under the guise of
"Windom BOOM" to the third termers.

Among the more important bills intro
duced in the legislature this session, is one
by senator Rice, regulating freight charges
on all the railroads IN the state, and pro-
vidcs that it shall be unlawful for AIRY rail-
road company to charge or collect rate
of over four cents per ton per mile for
transporting grain twenty miles or less;
three and one-half cents per ton for dis.
tances of over twenty and less thHn fifty
miles; three cents per ton for distances OF
over nifty and less than one hundred miles,
and two and three quarter cents per ton for
distances of one hundred miles and over.
This is a reduction of about one-half on
the present grain t.rifs, and is just about
what should be charged The bill also
prescribes the maximum rates on other
classes of freights, making the same
sweeping changes. This bill will create a
tremendous stir, but if we are not mistak-
eli it will become a law. in modified

ualIy used Votes were traded for petty
clerkships and for all sorts of small con.
sidcrations In order 10 see that all these
bargains were duly carried out, card
board ballot, of peculiar shape, was used
on the Mcmillan side, and Mr.. Speaker
Fletcher was himself appointed one of the
tellers Old that side to see that the pur-
chased members voted as they were
bought. We need not say that the victory
was dearly won which was purchased by
such MEANS" Such broad assertions
should not, for the credit of all concerned,
be allowed to pass unnoticed, there should
be an investigation and the truth or falsi,y
of the charge proven. While the Pioneer
