and purely with view to profits after.
as before, the passage of the laws. It
is convinced that the laws will not do
the railroad interests any damage, even
though they do deprive them of some
of their favoritisms. Moreover, it has
beard this cry of ''Wolf'' too often in
the past to be scared by it now
In d recent magazine article Gov. La
Toilette recalled the fact that in. the
'70s, the years of granger Legislation,
the railroads had the same narrowing
tale to tell Of construction at a stand
STILL ''colapse of railroad business"
ard 1.-the checking of all developments
in the grander states" that they have
now. He has analysed railroad statis-
tics for those years to show how little
the facts correspondent with the bowls.
Wisconsin's granger Legislation lasted
from early in 1874 to 1876. Compar-
ing the figures Of rsilroad extension in
1878 with these in 1875, he shows that
for Wisconsin there was an increase of
per cent; for the four granger states,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota
there was an increase of 6. | per cent;
for four adjoining non granger states,
Mich gan, Missouri. Indiana and Ne
braSka. there was an increase Of f. | per
cent; for the country at large, an in
crease of 5 5 per cent.
ALI over the country there was a de-
cline of gross earnings Of railroads in
those years But for the three granger
states for which figures are available,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa, the de-
cline was only one-half of per cent.
For three adjoining non-granger states
the decline was TO per cent; for the
country at large. 4. 4 per cent.
1t would not be fair to argue from
such figures that the proposed Wiscon-
sin laws will increase railroad profits.
But that kind of an argument would be
fully as rational as the bugaboo threats
aud prophecies which the railroads are
making. Chicago Record-Herald.

has struck an entirely new note in fic-
ton. 1t is story of the west, so satur-
ated with the atmosphere of that part
OF our country and so Photographic in
its deplction of ranch life that it will
take high rank among the best tales of
that class; yet it is more as character
study that 1.-The Red-Headed Woman
will win the praise. The heroine is
the most original, the most human,
the most refreshing woman who for a
long time has stepped from a printed
page. There is no reader who will not
be fascinated by her vagaries and inter-
ested in her remarkable career. The
April Smart Set maintains its own hio h
standard of excellence, and it is re.
markable for the note of variety which
it strikes.

on all their extensions and improve
ments. They have threatened to make
the state get along without any rail
road facilities until the proposed laws
are abandoned. Wisconsin, of course,
isn't. 1t knows perfectly well that the
railroads will in the end make all the
improvements that business justiies,
