shrewdness, political experience, char
Acter, etc.
The Crooked Republicans have a
mountain load of church stea!ings,
hall bur,lings, county stealings, taX-Ge-
trainings, etc, to carry, and besides, it
is i singular fact that whatever 'white
trash" has settled in our midst has a.!
most invariably attached itself to that
party ut once aud began to elbow itself
to the front.
OUR RAILROAD PROSPECTS.
The st. Paul Pioneer-Press, Of Satur-
day last, says:
That the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
4 Northern company will complete
their line into Worthington next SUM-
mer is /. fixed fact. They have am
nounced 1T Worthinyton that they will
not build farther than that point. AS
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Il North
rrn is practically the Chicago, Rock
Islands l. Pacific, it would seem re-
ln;lrk;sble to Il casual observer that SO
large corporation lis the latter should
make Of VOrtliington terminal point.
It is we'll known that Mr.. David bows
Of New York is one of the largest OWL
trS, and moving spirit in both the
Rock Island and Chicago, st. Paul.
Minneapolis & Omaha lines. Query:
Will not the Omaha and Rock Island
unite their fortunes ut WortIlngton for
i. joint line to the Black Hills. utilizing
the present Omaha line extension, now
completed forty miles west Of sioux
Falls, and 1O3 miles west Of Worthing
ton. Better that st. Paul and Mime
ap,liS have half the loaf than none, for
it this suspicion he founded in fact. the
OnlalE. li,!e will make the Black Hills
tributary to the dual cities, for it will
Share the trade equally with tha Rock
Island. 1t is generally conceded that
the Rock Island company feel aggrieV-
I'd ut what they conceive to be in in
vasion of their Omaha territory Ivy the
Council Bluffs extension of the Chca-
70 Milwaukee & st. Paul. and it will
likewise he remembered that about
two Gears ago Mr.. bows acco npanied
Mr.. Hugh Riddle, president Of the Rock
Island, over the Omaha line, the latter
At whom expressed great confidence in
the future of southwest Minnesota.
Apparently Mr.. Riddle has not lost sight
of the oppOrt unities. and perhaps has
plans that may yet prove beneficial in
their Developments.
The railroad editor Of the Pioneer
Press looks ut the matter from /; st.
Paul standpoint and speculates as to
how much Of tie water can be turned
over st. Paul mill wheel. We should
be glad to sec Worthington a terminal
point for the Burlington, and it will be
for il year or two, but when the otfici
ais were here some time since they gave
out that the intention OF the company
WIS to build northwest from here to Il
connection with the Northern Pacific.
Tie road which is coming to Wor-
thinyton to form il connection with the
Sioux Falls branch IS the Toledo <
Northwestern which is now building
from ElmOre, almost directly east of
us, to Wurthington. This road will
doubtless De built next Summer and
may beat the Burlington yet.
The Milwaukee and the DeSMOines
l. Northwestern are nearly graded to
Spirit Lake and are both pointing in
this direction. The prospect low is
that within two years WortI.in:ton
will i,aye four railroads and will be the
railroad centre OF Southwestern Mimi
tsOla. 1t is the best located town for
Il railroad centre between Sioux City
and Malkato, being just o. miles from
each OF these points, and it needs only
few more railroads to make it an i'm
pOr:;.hl interior city.
