= The Chat lotte Chronicle remarks that
Winston has had great deal of experience
with rail roads, but THAT SO far all her
rail roads have been built on paper, and
in lieu of this the question presents itself as
to what would be the odds of contrast be-
tween Winston and Charlotte. if Winston
had the rail road facilities that Charlotte
has. Winston to-dayhas but one channel
of egress, and if with Chariotte's rail roads
her industrial status had been propotionate-
ly large the contrast between the two places
would by no means have been fattering
to the latter.

The Silver Meeting.

In another column, the ARGUS gives a
report of the proceedings which took
place at the advertised silver meeting last
evening. Many citizens who went to the
court house noticed a peculiar cast of
characters engineering what was sup.
posed to be silver meeting A glance
sufficed to convince the initiated that old
DanfOrth and his satellites were the in
stigators of the whole affair, and that II
was more of a greenback meeting than
anything else. 1t was with diff.
Guilty that a chairman could be
found as no one seemed anxious of
being so greatly honored Old Joe fished
set of resolutions out of his clothes,
which he had prepared to suit himself,
and they were rushed through before the
assemblage could arrive at their full
meaning. There are only one or two
sections which silver advocates could con
scientiously endorse, while the greenback
idea is given full swing. A prominent dem-
ocrat and republican were innocently in
viegled into the meshes, but their speech.
es would indicate that they were really
not in sympathy with the sense of the
resolutions adopted, although they did
hesitate in endorsing them.

News from the pineries received by
lumber manufacturers here uniformly
shows that the loggers are exceeding their
anticipations. The recent thaws have
forced few to shovel snow, but in Wis
consin and Minnesota where the heaviest
logging is done, the roads were never in
SO fine condition. Many jobbers have
already got their intended cut and are
now increasing it. The week has beer
extremely favorable. On the Chippewa

RAILROAD RACKET.
Notes OF Current Interest Along the
Rail.~L0caI, Personal and Cen
eral Items.

The employees Of the Chicago. Buring-
ton & Northern, along the river opposite
Specht's ferry, have unearthed many
wolves in their blasting operations, and
the vermints have scattered through the
region killing sheep and hogs indiscrim-
inatelv, and the farmers were compelled
TO organize a raid for the purpose OF
cleaning them out. Last Saturday
large force of men was marshalled from
that vicinity composed of the residents
and railroad hands, who proceeded to
march in circle about the infected dis
trict and close in on the vicious brutes.
After several hours marching the force
of slayers moved rapidly toward the Gems
ter as they were convinced they had
large number of the animals in their
grasp Toward shutdown Mr.. Jonn Frost,
who had organized the raid, gave the
signal and then there was terrible din
made bv the raiders, which so frightened
the wolves that thirteen of them fell easy
victims to the bullets swift mission. A
large number, however got away, and
another raid will be organized in few
days to exterminate the pests if possible.
The new railroad bridge across the
river at this point becomes a subject OF
discussion in railroad circles as spring
approaches That there is something in
the wind, that there is stir in the camp
of the O.. B. & Q. there is not doubt.
Officials of that road have made their
visits to Rock Island more frequent OF
late, and they do not come with a pa
rade of trumpets either. All marks OF
distinction are abandoned as sooI
as they reach Rock Island. The
special palace cars which these
officials have at their service are abandoned
upon their entry in Rock Island. aud il
is not improbable that they came in III
the caboose of a freight train from Bar
stow or some place up there. 1t is eviden
too, that the employees of the offices here
have been cautioned to keep mum.
Two of the most prominent officials o
the road in the state, were in the city tn,
other day, in the persons of General Su
perintendent J D. Bessler and Superin
tenient Of the Illinois Division G. F
ReSsique. They were closeted will
General Ticket and Passenger Agen
Mack for some time, and when the ARGU
reporter asked afterwards as to the reason
of their visit, he was informed tina
'ihere was nothing new; the official
were simply making tour of official in
spection over the road" 1t appears tina
these tours OF official inspection" ar
becoming quite numerous, especial,
where the offices are in such GOO
hands as they ere here. The reason o
that $50, 600 embankment, which the AR
GUS has claimed from the first was no
built solely for the company's interest
here, will probable be made known be for
long.
