ST. PAUL.
Forming an important part of the great
system of railroads leading out from Chicago,
and their direct connections are tie five trunk
lines centering at St. Paul, the capital of Min
nesota, and fourishlng city of nearly 6O,UO0
inhabitants, situated on the western edge of
the great Wisconsin pinerles, and at the east
erH edge of the great wheat belt of Minne-o ts
and Dakota. The two great and direct lines
between Chicago and st. Paul-the Chicago &
Northwestern, and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul-have been previously referred to.
Running from St Paul directly north, is the
St. Paul & Duluth railroad, striking the head
of Lake Superior at Duluth, and penetratin g
the heart of the great ore region.
To the northwest runs the st. Paul, Mime
apolis s. Manitoba railroad, running
through large portion Of the future wheat
granary of the world, and striking the great
Canadian Pacific railway, which is now being
built at Winnipeg, in Manitoba, one of the
British provinces.
From st. Paul in southwestern direction
runs the Sioux City line of the Chicago, Mil
waukee, st. Paul & Omaha railway, forming
a very important cross line from the Missouri
river to St. Paul. The West Wisconsin rail
road runs from St. Paul in an eastern and
southeastern direction, striking one of the
main lines of the Chicago & Northwestern at
Eroy. This road strikes some of the heaviest
lumber districts in the northwest, and is a
very important trunk line between st. Paul and
the southeast.

WINDOWS MISTAKE.

Secretary WINDOWS plan of perpetu-
ating the public debt seems to have re-
ceived serious set hack at the outset
The attorney general is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that the secretary
has no authority of law for his go-as-you-
please style of conducting the finances,
and has called halt until he shall have
time enough to closely examine the au-
thorities, so that he may be able to deter
mine the power of any person to extend
the bonds of the government after they
become due on any terms whatever. 1t
is little late to lock the stable door after
the horse has been stolen, but even now
some damage may be prevented by re-
tracing the steps already taken or in some
manner change the policy that has been
outlined.
To put the matter mildly, is was pre-
sumptious on the part of Mr.. Window to
assume to interpret the law in the free
and easy manner indicated. His first and
his only effort should have been to provide
for the payment OF the bords as they fall
due. He has an excellent cash bal
ance IN the treasury, and at least hun
dred millions could be used for that pur.
pose Immediately. He is authorized, be-
sides, to make temporary loans to the
amount of fifty millions, these loans to
bear rate of interest of not more than
three per cent, and to run not longer
than one year. In addition the customs

Col. Kings Attraction for 1881.

The Spirit Of the Times announces, as if by
authority, that cat Minneapolis the powers
that he announce outright purse of $4,000
for four-mile heat race, the conditions to he
announced hereafter. We also understand
that Col. King has decided to make no effort
to secure the great trotting and pacing stars
this season, but to depend upon his entries for
these speed trials mainly from home horses"
Ii the two propositions are well founded We
are inclh ed to the opinion Col. King has
chosen wisely. A four mile heat race for the
immense sum of $2O,0O0 will be a decided
sensation in Minnesota, and will probably
draw together on the day it o mes Off tie
greatest crowd ever seen IN Minnesota. But
it will not serve as an attraction for whole
week. These other needed attractions cam
however, lie furnished by Minnesota-owne'l
trot ers. There is decided revival in this
business in Minnesota. Several of our breed
ers, G. A. De Graft, R. Barden, MIR Follett OF
Hastings, and Others have a number of head
of trotlers, many Of their own breeding, that
are being worked with view to such con-
tests. Then there is the new st. Paul Rich.
