Railroad building resumed after the panic. and the early lines were formed into great competing systems. By 1885. after the Twin Cities were connected with the Pacific coast by rail. the population passed the 1 million mark. A new racial strain was added. Many of the newcomers came from Ireland. and shelter was found for them in immigrant houses which Archbishop John Ireland. organizer of the Catholic colonization bureau. helped to provide. Whole towns were developed under the auspices of Archbishop Ireland. and the railroads helped develop others. More than once the State has enjoyed getrichquick hopes. only to find that real prosperity lay in another direction.
