DULUTH, Nov. 9.-Ihe returns from
this legislative district are not all in but
there Is now no doubt of the election of
Ensign and Jordan. Ensign for senator
is ahead of Billson in the places heard
from by several hundred, and it is not
possible that the remaining precincts can
overcome tins lead. The republican can
didates in St. Louis county, with one ex-
ception, are elected.

Stutsman County and Railroads.

The need of railroad south Is becom-
ing known in railroad circles all over the
country and much more figuring is beng
done in the conclaves of railroad magnates
than is known to the public. But occas-
sionally, either accidently or mysteriously,
an inkling OF these gets out. The one
great question upon which all railroad
,projects are based IS the question of pro-
fits. They are not built for the love OF
:any people nor for the favor of any coun-
ty. 1t is purely a question OF dollars
with the railroad companies, and people
or the personal interests of people outside
the company do not weigh as much as
Gather in the scale. A railroad bonus
ha = ITS influence as SO many dollars and
rot hing more. Those who build upon
nres, amption of personal favor
with a railroad company builds
nnon the sand. There is no use in
+o,k;ny or thinking of railroad enter
nr;se IN INV other light than as strictly
business !, natter in which money alone is
the cons,d Grafton. Railroad magnates
are now pls >nning system OF railroad
connections N direct line from Omaha
mn through tn is country, and a like en-
ternrise from Davenport, la. The Z.
NJ & St. p. is pushing pushing its way
IN this direction, heading up the James
River, and 1t is believed IS making James
town an objective point, and II SO II IS
confidently expected that trains Will be
running to this place on that line oe1ore
this time another year. 1t is well enough
for our people 10 keep their eyes "ide
omen and watch these things carefully.
We should figure as we'll as the railroad
companies, although they will take 'heir
own figuring as a basis of decision. II 1t
is worth sloO,O more to any OF 'hese
railroad companies to come lato James
town than to intersect the N. +. railroad
At any other point, as ma''er
of business it would require over
that amount in bonus to dlverge the ROAD
to another point though we offered no
bonus at all. All things considered the
successful place will be the one where the
balance is found. Our people must not
deceive themselves with the vain idea
that because we have the finest townslte
in North Dakota that railroads will De at
tracted here by that reason. Railroad en-
:.errrises are not projected nor IS railroad
,busincss conducted on the aesthetic plan.
Now let our people take the SUBJECT IN
hand as strictly business matter ana
consider and act upon it as such.

tariff question: He devoted himself entirely
TO the effect Of the tariff upon agricultural mat

His statements were clear and eminently prae-
tical, and his tables of considerable value, In
asmuch as they were obtained at the census
Office in advance OF the regular issue Of the
work of that. bureau. He showed that in 1850
there were in the United States twenty-three
millions Of sheep which produced an aggregate
Of fifty nine million pounds Of wool, while in
1880 there were Al, 75O, 900 sheep, yielding a
product In wool of two hundred and seventy
million pounds. In the twenty-four years pre-
ceding the war the production of wool in
creased forty per cent In the last twenty
years, or since 1850, the increase in the amount
Of wool, without a corresponding increase In
the number Of sheep, had been over 400 per
cent. In short the improved stock and I'm
creased knowledge Of sheep raising had iu-
creased the product four and one-half times.
