One of the grossest of recent out- rages by the Union Pacific road upsn Denver merchants was the arbitrary raise in the tariff on hay. The com- mission merchants of Denver ship most of their Kausas hay and grain from Clay Centre, which lies ou one of the branch lines of the Kansas Pa- cific, a short distance from Topeka. The rate from that point to Denver in the present month an order was suddenly issued raising the rate to 70 conts. This advanced tariff was kept in force about eight drys, during which time two hundred car loads of expects a still further manifestation of the public confidence. ‘“HE COMING CRASH. The mania for speculation is reach- ing a phase of perfect frenzy. Vast sums of money released from invest- ment are being drawn into the mal strom of the stock and grain boards.

This was done during a pinch in the hay market, and as soon as the market was supplied the rate was at ovce low- ered to 65 cents. By this little oper- atlon, it is calculated that the com pany netted between $2,000 and $3,000 These sre only isolated instances of fair profiis and boiid up the community and state, is scattering itself to the winds with a reckless dis- regard of thetinal outcome which issim- plyappalling.

TrE Ber published yesterday what purported to be a statement of J. B. Rautherfoord, ex-contractor, who was discharged a few weeks ago by the Omaha City Water Works company. An investigation by THE BEE utterly fails to substsntiate Mr. Rathcrford’s statement. It appears that after the contract was awarded, the company found that Mr. Rutherford was irre- sponsible, and that no material could be procured by him, unloss orders were accompanied by the guar- sntee of the company. Upon in- westigation of the antecedents of Mr. Ratherford and his bondsmen they were found to be inadequate to pr»- tect the interests of the laborers, as aleo the interests of the company. Failing to comply with the bond, Mr. Rautherford forfeited his contract, and the company were very glad to get rid of him. The high character and well known financial responsibility of the parties composing the Water Works ocompany is sufficient denial to the statements of Rutherford. The work is being prosecuted as rapidly as possible. Al bills are paid promptly and the company have ample means to carry the work to a speedy conclu- sion. — COLORADO AND THE UNION PACIFIC. The Union Pacific menopoly is winding its hydra folds arcund the young state of Colorado and endeavor- ing to divert wealth from every channel into its overflowing coffers. Tte policy in respeet to Colorado is only a repetition of that pursued to- ‘wardsevery s te and territory through which its lines pass. But in Colorado It isgrappling with a state whose journals it has failed to purchase and whose people are rising fo |their might to re- sist monopoly rule. The D nves Tribune and Kepublican and the Load ville Chronicl- are dsily pouring hot shot and shell into the monopoly army, and meetings are being held to influence the coming legislature to pass a stringent law regulating and restricting railroad monopolies within the state, i Denver in particular is justly in- dignant over the extortionsand dis. eriminations practiced by the Union Pacific road against its growth and prosperity. One of the most flagrant abuses of railway power is the deliberate manner in which the Usiton Pacific is draining Denver of currency by forcing direct payments of freight bills in Omaha, aud compelling all monies collected by its agents to be travsmitted directly to the Omaha National bank, in this city. In con- sequence of this policy, the ter part f the currency required :::‘cir- culation 10 Denver must be reshipped from Omahs over the Union Pacific express line, and the Ppayment of a beavy rate i demanded for the transportation. The Union Pacific brazenly admits that while this action does not benefit Omaha one ceats’ worth, and injures the trade of Denver, it is done simply to increase the business of its express line, and to wring additional tribute from the merchants and banks of Colorado. Bach-an outrageous interference with the laws of trade, is rousing the citi- zens of Denver to a knowledge of their rights and duties, which will show itself in the next legislature. Another cause of complaint by Ool- orado merchants s the persistent on Oolorado shippers and producers. The state propoees to deal fairly but firmly with the railroad problem. They sre determined to break the Colorado pool by legislation. A late number of the Denver T'ribune sums up the case as followe: The remedy lies in breaking the pool So long as the Colorado poclis in existence one road will necessarily strengthen the other in any discrimi- nation which it may choose to indulge in. With the pool broken there will be fair competition for the business and the Union Pacific will be forced to accept Colorado exchange or be de- prived of Colorado traffic. Thisis the one and only remedy. worth nothing. Legislative action can destroy the pool. No matter how much diepute there may be about the other details agreed vpon. Our merchants can night themselves in January. The board of trade should at once proceed to the preparation of a bill in which regulating freight charges soas to prevent competion shall be declared illegal for all time to come. It will pass. HAPPY NEW YEAR. To its many readers and patrons TuE Bee gives the compliments of the season and wishes one and all a Happy Now Year. It congratulates our state upon the gener.1 prosperi y which has prevailed withinits borders, upon tbe pluck and industry of its people, upen the growth cf its towns and citiee aud the extension of its in- dustrial, commercial and agriculiur 1 mterests. Such prosperity as Nebraska has enjoyed during the past year has been due to the sterling qualities of its citize ns, who, in building up their own individual fortunes, have con- tributed to the general advancement of the state. TaE Bee extends its warmpst con- gratulations to Omaha over the Tapid growth and general proeperity which has marked its progress during the year now drawn to aclose, There has been no halting, no retrogression in any depsrtment of industry and trade. Manufactures, the great element in buildivg up municipal stability, have increased with rapid strid-s, and the opening months of the new year will wit ess a number of new indus- tries located in‘'our midst, employing Omaha liborers and distributing mon- ey among Omaba merchants, Our wholessle businese has grown rapidly, but steadily, and our city now hclds territories of the west. Building op- higher character than in former years and stately blocks adorn por- tions of our streets which twelve months ago were occupied by wooden sheds. Water works, now under rapid headwhy, will shortly supply our city with fire protection and domestic comfort. Sewerage has been begun, and a thorough system of sanitary drainage is assured to our city in the near future. Such a record may well be a source of pride and sat- isfaction toour people, and to none more than to the enterprising business men property-holders among our citizens, who, refusing to hoard their savings, have invested them in build- ings which adorn our city and in enter- prises which increase the common prosperity. Such men are deserving of all praise, snd will receive it from a public which is always appreciative of industry, integrity and munisipal loy- alty. With the march of improvement throughoutthe state, and in our city, Tae Bee has endeavored to keep fally sbreast It now expends in the collec- tion and distribution of rews to its resders more than four times the overweighing of freights and over amount expended by any other paper in the state.

NEBSASKA SENATORSHIP. erations have been extensive and of a Beatiice Express. business men of cur commercial cen- tres, who watch eyents from afar off, are uttering dismal forebodings of the future. The fact that tte weal or wos of & continent is controlled by a fraction of our people, Is a cause for serious re- flection. To-day, trade, commerce, the prices of the commodities of life, the labor supply, the arteries of trans- portation through which the commer- cial life of the country throbs and pul- sates—all are dependent upon the will and desires of a band of reckless gam- blers, who thro» about their 1ailroad recklessly as a tramp rattles the dice in a beer saloon. Bankrupt and unscrupulous men hoping to fortune are operating on change, sub- stituting “finesse and cunning for capacity snd integrity.” Business is the healthy principle of present va'ues. Gambling has taken the place of honest commercial transactions,and if unchecked is assure to bring ruin upon the country as gambling with dice or cards is upon the individual. While legislative restriction upon such a question would be extremely diffizult, we believe that it will be found the only remedy. Its spplica- tion should first be made to the over- capitalization of corpcrations which create fictitious values. Rilroads should be prohibited under heavy penalties from listing their franchise, road be, rolling stock and improve ments at a price above their genuie value. Stock gamblirg should be aternly repressed, and the capital of a compary should representits present, not its proepective value. The sys- tematic plan pursued by the ccmpa- nies of blinding the public to the enormous profits earned, by increas- i g stock and decreasing dividends, is an outrage on the people and a stimu- lus to unhealthy speculation, which should no Jonger be permitted. —— POSTOFFICE CEANGES In Ncbraska, durin - the week ending Dacember 25th, 1880, furnished to Tae Bee by Wm.

Tyler. TWO ACES Senator Nance and Governor Carns are strictly a young man’s pair—but egual to two aces to draw to. A NEGLECT OF DUTY. Sutton Register. Gen. VauWyck is a candidate for United States senator from Nebraska, He has recently been on an extended eastern trip in which reports say poli- tics played an active part. He is in Nebraska once again, and we rise to ask why Mr. Brooks, of The Republi- can, does not make him another visit; just a friendly oue, without regard to politics, as he did some time ago. At the former visit readers of The Re- publican remember Mr. VanWyck was treated to taffy in advance of the visit, and in return Mr. VanW)ck treated the U. P. statesman to the best products of the farm, but no politics. Perhaps Mr. Brooks by a second visit cculd penetrate to the political heart of the Otoe war horse; he is neglecting his duty until he at- tempts it. THE COMING MAN. Lincoln Globe. The senatorial contest has been boil- ed down to a degree of consisteacy which makes some things visible even to the naked eye of an outsider, First, it may be plsinly stated that Senator Paddock has no earthly chance for election. One month ag: his pros- pects were good, but since that time his strength has gradually diminished until he is now certain of only a sirong complimentary vote on the first ballot Masoa, Van Wyck and Nance ie very nearly equal, neither hav- ing enugh to secure his election without zne aid ¢f one or two of the others. Under these circumstances he chances are very sirongly in favor of Judge Dundy. He was a strong candicate for senator six years ago wud by his withdrawsl bec me the principal agent in securing Paddock’s clection. This action onthe part of Dundy and his friends will demanc «nd deserve recognition whenever Paddock’s chances sre known to be ¢one, and the strength of the latter gentlemen will natarally go to the former as a second choice. With this accession to his forces, he has the opportunity to satisfy Judge Weaver by leaving his own position vacant for him. A combination of these three factions, which may be 89id to represent the different railroad interests, could secure the election of Judge Dundy. Van Wyck has a strong personal following combining most of the ati-railroad interests and it is probable that all of this class wiil eventually unite upon him, but except by the very hardest and most continuous work they cannot hope to defeat the combination mentioned above. Guv. Nance may be considered as virtually out of the race. Personally, he is perhaps as strong as any other candi- date; but the fact that his election would make Mr. Carns governor, will defeat him. There is, in Nebraska, a decided and almost unanimous opposi- tion to elevatisg Mr. Carus to the governorship of the state. This situ- ation is clear enough to need no dia- gram to illustrate.

We give below a list of the build- ings, public and private, erected in the city during the past year, with others now in process of construction which give substantial confirmation of the continued growth and prosperity of thecity.
