Our merchants complain that the
Ouachita steamboats, have pooled with
the railroad and put freights up TO an
exhorbitant figure. So we see that
with railroad and river we have
not got sufficient transportation facil-
tiles to keep freight rates within reasons
able bounds and to prevent discrimina-
ton. The growing interests Of this
city and section require {. grea, North
and South railroad to rectify this abuse.
But that is for future consideration.
What we have to say now is 10 call the
attention of tho merchants o: New
Orleans to the matter and to warn
them that the business men Of Monroe
don't propose to stand it. New Orleans
has need of every bit of the trade she
Is getting now and she can't afford to
lose that OF any section of country or
town, but she will lose that of Monroe
or great portion of it at least, unless
something So done to keep the river

dairymen are selling off their stock tc
keep them from starving, as the grass
and grain have all dried up, and the
prospects of crops are SO poor that hor-
ses have sold for $50 and fine COWS for
So and 6. The drouth has never been
known to have been so long and severe
since the settlement of the county.
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1886-08-11

A Washington correspondent says
that of the Minnesota delegation
Messrs. Strait and Wakefield were the
only members present when Congress
adjourned. Maj. Straits record is one
OF the best in the House. He has not
missed days session of the House nor
committee meeting during the entire
session. His name appears on every
roll call that has been held in the House
this session. Mr.. Strait, while not a
speech maker, is SAID by his opponents
to be one Of the most influential men
on the Republican side, and his ability
in handling the House Committee on
Public Lands against heavy odds has
won him great respect among party
managers in the House. Governor
Wakefield has host of friends in the
House, who look forward with regret
to his departure next season.
