RAILROAD NEWS.

The Rock Rapids Reporter says of
the Ellsworth branch:
A trip along the line to Ellsworth
shows that the heavy work of that part
of the line is now nearly completed.
It will require about two weeks to
have this division ready for track lay
ing. The work has been delayed lit
tie on account of not having 4 sutlici-
ent supply of wheel scrapers, this trou-
ble is being overcome, and it will not
be surprising if one month from this
time finds trains running to this place.
The extension of the Worthington &
Sioux Falls line to Mitchell seems to
be a fixed fact. We learn, however,
that it is not the intention to lay the
iron this season, the crop prospect not
being encouraging enough.
No. Vol. of the knight-Errant,
published ut Yonkers, N. Y, by Will
Hubbard Herman, is received. In an
nouncing the object of the paper Mr..
Herman says it will be unlike any 9TH
er paper published on this planet. This
time, we believe, Herman has got the
right name for his paper. lie is a
knight of the pen, a journalistic knight
who believes in lighting wrong, op-
preston, bigotry. hypocrisy, Injustice
and all the rest Of the spawn and brood
Of the (d)evil. In cur judgment he is
often mistaken, WAY off and awry in
the blows he strikes, but in the main
he is a brave knight battling for truth,
justice and purity.
Herman is the bravest and savagest
editor in the county and we think he
has made 4 mistake in going east.
CoMstock and the rest of that class of
blood-hounds will be after him aud
suppress him. The west is his field.
The east is largely moncy.mad, socie-
ty crazy, priest.rilden and falling I'M
der European ideas. The great west
is the ''land of the free" and ought to
be kept 50.
But for Kernan's too savage style he
would he a first class journalistic sue
cess. AS poet, he is 4 genius of the
Poe order, and Tennyson recently said
that Poe was the glory of American
literature beside whom our other poets
were pigmies. We devoutly hope that
Herman will give more attention to
poetry and less TO red-hot prose, and
let his little enemies wriggle their lit
tie lives off the stage without his help.
An Illinois editor sued aud obtained
judgment against forty.three delin-
quent subscribers. Failing to respond
with the several amounts due he then
had them arrested under the United
States law for petit larceny. Thirty
six gave bonds in the sum Of $500 each
for their appearance at court, while
the balance were lodged in Jail. Thus
editors have rights which delinquents
are bound to respect.-Exchange.
We have several times published the
fact that cheating the printer is a
crime, but they won't believe it yet.
We have a hundred or two delinquents
on our books who could be brought up
with a decided astonisher if we should
conclude to take the criminal twist on
them. The moral is, pay your printer.
Don't put this bill off till all others are
paid. as good many do, and then il
you run short postpone payment in.
