RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

1t is to be hoped, for the good of the
State, that the Curaier railroad bill
introduced in the House, and which
comes up for considera ton before that
body tomorrow, will not pass in its
present form. Farmers. no less than
business men, can not afford to cripple
these great arteries of commerce which
have done so much for the advance
ment of the Northwest, and for the
development of the resources of the
richest territory in all this broad coun-
try. Minnesota is yet a young state.
While we have railroads stretching
out in all directions, there is yet a vast
territory untouched by the steam en-
CINE and untrayerSed by steel rail. and
while it is clearly duty of the legis-
lature to protect the public against
unjust Determinations and unequa
transportation charges, the utmost
care should be exercised that no rash
and annihilating measures be permit
ted to step in through ill-advised en-
thusiaSts and needed extensions of
present systems cut off.
Our legislators have the example of
crank railroad legislation before them
in the Iowa law governing common
carriers. Through the depressing and
ruinous legislation enacted in that
state one of the most prosperous COM
monWealthS of the Great West has
been retarded in growth: turned back
at the very zenith of its prosperity and
vast business interests irretrievable
crippled. The farmers have suffered
proportionally with the balance of the
community and general stagnation of
business is everywhere observable.
Minnesota has arrived at that stage
in her onward progress when unwise
railroad legislation such as affects
Iowa to-day would be fearful ca
lamity. The idea that seems dominant
in the minds of some, that man who
invests his money in the construction
of railroads, no matter how advant-
ageous the enterprise may be, immedi-
ately relinquisheS all his right and
title to the subsequent control of,
or voice in, the management of his
money interests, is dangerous and I'M
warranted grounds upon which to
tread That the farmers as well as
business men have grievances against
railroads no one will pretend to dis
pute, and that relief from those griev-
ances should be afforded by the pres
ent legislature goes without saying,
but the radical and sweeping bill in
troduced by Mr.. Currier is not tenn
pered with that justice toward these

THE FairmOnt Neus editor either
don't know the truth, or else he has
lost his bearings and declines to tell
it. He says that large majority,
of the reform legislature opposed the
resolution which passed the house
granting TO each member q cents per
day for newspapers. If Blaisdell will
read the roll call on this measure he
will find that there was not a dozen
out of the seventy odd Democrats and
Alliance men who voted against the
proposition to rob the state of over
-, 900. Because Republicans have un>
lawfully drawn money from the state
by passing such appropriations is no
reason why the great !'moral reform
eerS" who are now running the machine
should do likewise. Better things
were promised. 1t had been charged
that the Republicans were the only
thieves. but it turns out that the 9th
eer fellows are no better. All they have
been waiting for was the chance to get
their thumb over the bung-hole. They
have got it there and behold the re-
suit! Let's see, Bro. Blaisdell: to what
party do you now belong-Alliance,
Democratic or Donnelly? You seem to
favor anything and everything but
the Republican.

GOING FOR COUNTY OFFICERS.

County officials may begin to get
their carpet.bags in shape for a trip
to st. Paul. The reform" legislature
is after their scalps, and there may be
some lobby work necessary to prevent
the general scaling down of salaries.
Representative Feig, of Kandiyohi
county introduced bill in the house
yesterday which, if passed, will regu-
late the salaries of all Sheriffs, county
treasurers. registers of deeds and clerks
of district courts in every county in
the state. The salaries are fixed as
follows: In counties of less than 10000
inhabitants, $500: more than 10000 and
less than $4,000, $1,000: more than 25,-
600 and less than $4,000, 81, 5000; more
than $4,000 and less than IS, 900, 50 1000:
more than $4,000 and less than 100, 900,
So. 500: more than 100000, $1,000
The county commissioners in each
county may allow the officers coming
within the ban, such clerks, deputies
and assistants as are necessary, who
shall be paid out of the county treas
ury, provided that the amount of the
salaries shall in no case exceed the
amount of fees collected over and
above the amount OF the officials
maximum salary.
If later developments shall prove
that this bill stands any show of be-
coming law, the hotels may prepare
for boom in business, for every Of
ficer in the state affected by the mea-
sure will take occasion to plead with
Representatives and showthem that
the way to the poor house is already
too well known by him to require
legislation on the subject.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

The case of r. NJ. King, of Tennes-
see, which has attracted such wide
spread attention for the last year, has
just been tried on appeal in the Fed
eral Court at Memphis, Tenn, Judge
Hammond presiding. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. King, who is a
seventh-day observer, after resting on
Saturday, plowed corn in his field on
Sunday, for which the court of his
county fined him S75 and costs. By
the advice and help of the National
Religious Liberty Association, of
which Mr.. King is a member, he APP
pealed his case to the Supreme Court
of the State, which affirmed the deci-
sion of the lower court.
On the refusal of Mr.. King to pay
the fine assessed, he was placed in jail,
but was released on writ of habeas
corpus. which was made returnable
in the United States District Court at
Memphis, Tenn, the second Monday
in January, 1891. In the mean time,
the Religious Liberty Association Sc
cured the services of Hon. Don NJ.
Dickinson, of Detroit, Mich, to assist
in the case, with the design of carry
ing it, if possible, to the Supreme
Court of the United States, there to
test this nstitutionality of Sunday
laws in the various states of the Union.
The argument Of the case has just
been concluded in the federal court,
but the judge reserved his decision,
which will probably be handed down
in few days. The decision will be
anXiously looked for by many, as it
will be one which will materially af-
feet the operation of Sunday laws in
that Judicial District, and probably
in all parts of the United States.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

1t is a healthful sign to find the
press of Minnesota so enthusiastically
advocating liberal appropriation for
Minnesota with which to make a
showing at the Worlds Fair CONNER
surate with the greatness of our COM
mercial, agricultural and mineral in
terests, and it is pleasant to note that
the influence brought to bear through
this channel is having very salient
effect upon the members of the legis-
lature. AS the Duluth Ners very per-
tinently states the proposition, Min
nesota is now upon the threshold of a
career that will far Outstrip the past.
Her great cities are assuming front
rank among the centers of wealth, in
dustries and population. Her broad
and fertile area is annually bringing
forth millions upon millions in value
of the products of the field, the mine
and the forest. The plans of the past
have been broadened, and her citizens
are going forward to the work of build
ing commonwealth that shall have
no rival in the West. For the purpose
of the new future the Worlds fair
offers to us a boundless opportunity
for attracting the attention of capital,
of labor, of energy and brains. We
need these factors to multiply the
forces that are developing the great
natural resources Ofthe state. A pro-
representation of Minnesota at Chi
cago in 1893 will bring tide of immi-
grafton to our towns and cities: it will
bring new mills and shops and factor
les; it will bring employer and en-
ploye to work the undeveloped mines
and fields: it will increase the value
of every tract of land within the state:
it will give grand impulse to COM
merce: and it will terd IL every way
to promote our n ategial prosperity"
There is a great work before us if we
shall give to Minnesota that field of
prominence which he SO lichly merits.
1t will not only require liberal APP
preparation on the part OF The legisla-
tule, but it will demand the hearty
and united support and assistance of
the people of the State. Every indus
try, must be represented. Our agricul-
tural products must be gathered and
displayed to the best possible adyant-
age and in the most artistic way. The
products of our mines must be set
forth in attractive pyramids. Our
great stone interests must be given
prominence. Our forests must be re-
membered. In fact there is an almost
endless list of things to look, after,
combined in one grand whole of which
would make department of the Fair
which would be the observed of all OBJ
servers. No state in the whole North
west cluster can present an array of
equal attractiveness with Minnesota.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
sufficient money is provided to make
the display what it should be. If this
is done, the result will be glorious
victory for our future growth and
greatness.

Justice is Demanded.
New Tim ReVieWN

A bill has been introduced in the
lower honse of the legislature by a
gentleman from Blue Earth county,
which aims blow at the railroads and
which is fair sample of the radical
and wOful legislation which seems GER
tain to be precipitated upon our state
during the present session. The pro-
posed act is said to resemble in its
most important features the act which
now ties down the railroads in Iowa.
and in such binding manner as to
react on the state and injure its bust
ness in every branch of industry. That
Iowa has been set back to a remark
able extent by its railroad legislation
is not disputed. Not only is further
railroad building out of the question,
but it's people have gained nothing by
their unreasonable regulation of rates.
Every state around Iowa receives bet
ter treatment at the hands of the
roads than Iowa itself. Points west of
the Missouri obtain cheaper rates for
longer distance than points east of
the same river in a state that is en-
numbered by laws intended to lower
the rates beyond reasonable demand
The lesson that is furnished by Iowa
is good one for Minnesota. Legisla-
tiOn against railroads is needed. but it
must be justifiable. Tax them to the
extent that other people are taxed:
equalize rates so as to give justice and
fairness to all; but do not be led blind
ly into legislation that cripples. Do
not seek to get something for nothing.
