Our neighbor of the Republican
takes delight IN criticising us unfav-
orably. Now he IS finding fault
with our advocacy of FEEDER" rail-
roads and condemns the scheme as
nonsensical. He wants through
fare roads, " and broad guage at that.
Here is what he says:


A writer in the Zumbrota Independent
answers the argument Of The Advance that
what the people Of those towns need is a
railroad from the country. say Roscoe or
Kenyon. into Red Wing, making connee-
people Of southern Goodhue are not so diff
ferent from other people of seose, and it is
only fair to assume that they have like mo-
tires and preferences.


They want railroad connection. Of
course, thew would have choice for a
broad guage and for line running to the
best constant market, if there was any op-
portunity for them to choose. But mar
row guage is better than none: route any
where is better than no route. But it is
vain to expect them to prefer line that
connects in but one direction to q through
route. An editor can advocate such rail-
road for other people, and then write him
self letter saying hat he has been con-
vinced by the editors reasoning and thinks
the no-thorough-fa line is the best, and
thus make his idea seem to have two be-
levers, but the believers will never be
found among the people who most need the
road.


Our neighbor is privileged to ad-
vocate any folly that strikes his fan
cy, but sensible people will hardly
be convinced by his pretentious at
tempts at argument that they ought
to help build railroads for which
they have no use. What would ii
| avail Kenyon or Zumbrota to build
a road through their towns, leading,
say, from Red Wing to Owatonna
Would they be likely to use the
western end enough to justify the
expense ? Certainly not. The ad-
vantages of such extension west
ward would accrue mainly to peo.
pie living beyond Kenyon, and they
would be the proper ones to build
that portion Of the road. Is it not
the experience of citizens of every
town along the line Of any road,
that the simple extension of the
road beyond their town was of but
little if any advantage to them ?


Our markets are east and south,
not west; and, hence, we need
roads running east and south. If a
competing line is wanted in order
to keep down prices it, too, should
lead to some point eastward or
southwark, not westward. The
places always most benefited by
railroads are at their termini, where

the mercy of grasping monopolies ?
Surely not. The effect of the poll
cy advocated by the Pioneer would
be to absorb the ownership of the
land in the hands of the owners of
the railroads, or, rather, to concen-
trate tho property generally Of the
country in the possession Of wealthy
capitalists, and to reduce the agri-
culturalists to the condition of ten
ants. And it would only require a
few years to bring about this delecta-
bic state of affairs if the policy was
persisted in. To assure the pros
perity and happiness of communi-
ty it is essential that the wealth shall
be pretty generally distributed, and
while those laws only are salutary
which tend to produce such gen.
eral distribution, such as lead to the
concentration Of the wealth are nee
essarily always destructive. Hence,
the assertions Of the Pioneer, touch
ing this matter are untrue, and the
policy it advocates ruinous.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Advices from

steamer left. President Casal was

on that account. He is good SOL

into power the colored man and

II Is very foolish for Republican papers to
charge that the Lower House Of Congress attempt
ed to abolish the army at its last session, and
leave the country at the mercy of tramps and
strikers. The power to prevent the unlawful use
Of the army was wisely conferred upon the Low
er House by the Constitution. 1t simply exer-
cised that power. rs was its plain duty to do, by
providing that the army should not be put to the
"base uses' OF supporting thieves in the South,
Just as Il had a right to provide, had II thought
proper, that II should not be used TO aid the Turks
Mr.. Fields put the case plumply: "If the Senate
choose" said he, ito say to this House, 'The
army bill shall not be passed unless you give the
President power to keep Packard and Chamber
lain In oflice,' then let answer back Take that
responsibility il you dare The record shows
that the House passed the appropriation bill and
the Senate defeated it. Had the army been dis
banded and the strikers burned every city in the
United States In consequence, Jim Blaine and his
allies would have been responsible for it, and il is
useless for him and his hcnchmen to shirk 1t -

The conclusion of tho above article
is 80 silly that it ought to shame q
man of responsibility to assert it. The
Constitution Of the United States vests
in Congress the law-making power

power. Itwas wholly constitutional
