We notice that some of the Mil

We notice that some of the Mil
waukee papers are having consider
able to say in regard to what they
term unjust discrimination by the
railroad companies against that city,
in the matter of carrying passengers
and freights. The subject was dis
cussed in the Milwaukee chamber of
commerce on Saturday last, when a
lively time was had, some of the
members asserting that the claim of
railroad injustice to Milwaukee was
a mere halucination. Charges made
against railroad companies are often
received as true whether or not there
are any foundations for them in fact.
There can be no doubt that to a
great extent railroad companies ar
rage the matter of carrying frieghts
so as to best suit all interests, and
we hardly think that there is any
desire on the part of the lines in this
state to crush out Milwaukee by un-
justly discriminating against her. A
fact not generally understood is that
all eastern lines ship freight to Mil
waukee for the same rates charged
for shipment to Chicago. Chicago
is the great grain and stock market
for this section of the northwest and
and any readjustment of freight
rates which would tend to make
them higher to that point would
work us manifest injury.

The Evening Post hits the weak spot in the
democratic party when it says that the organiza-

fact that we have pointed out more than once,
endeavoriug to chastise the cowardice out of it
by faithful rebuke. But we think the weakness
lay always in the leaders and not in the masses,
which were full of pluck and perseverance; and
now that the party has won great national vic
tory and has at its head man who lacks neither
self poise nor courage, there is reason TO hope
that its former difidence viii pass away.
