| GENERAL VIEWS NOTES.

A meeting of the Marshall, Lyon county,
Minnesota board of trade was held last week
for the purpose of endeavo-ing to secure di-
rect rail communication with st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Marshall is but lao miles
from st. Paul, yet passage and traffic be-
tween these points must be made over the
lines ofrailroad with a transfer of both
freight and passengers. The former is COM
pelled to stop over night en- route either
way. A merchant of Marshall or of any
prominent town of the southwestern coun-
business and return as quickly as the trip
can be made to Minneapolis or st. Paul.
The former distance is 552, and the latter
but 140. Freight ordinarily can be secured
from Chicago quicker, and at as low rates.
Two roads, the Milwaukee and Albert Lea
route now run within 35 miles of Marshall,
and it was for the purpose of having one of
these extend its line to Marshall that the re-
cent meeting was held.
81. In the United States circuit court at New
Orleans Judge Billings ordered the city
council to at once levy tax sufficient to
pay Mrs. Mary Gaines the Judgment lately
given her Of 81 1886 ,O0O. This order Of the
court has created some excitement and
panic, as it is difficult to see how it is TO be
avoided. The council proposes to refuse to
obey the orders of the court, and Q majority
have pledged themselves to go to jail before
they will collect this tax. Ii the court pre-
walls it will entail the levying of an ad.
ditional tax Of 2 per cest, making the mum
icipal tax alone this year exceed 5 per
cent.
