Jaust as soon as tho water pipes have been Inid steps ought to be taken to pave our principal thoroughfares. Before entering upon aa extensivo systom of pavements cur city authorities should pon the material with which our strects are to bo paved. If May- or Boyd's recommendations to widen the sidewslks and deepen gattere are to bo adopted, the grades on the streets to be paved will have to be re-estab- lished. Thera is no doubt that twen- this sprin Bett ty foot sidowalks would b> the most economisal. The only question is whether tho change cam bo made without damage 1 brick blocks that were built conform with the present sixtecn-foot sidewalk. The costly exporience of the pria- cipal cltine where Nicholson and other a have boen used, has demonstrated that wood is the lass Zurable, and therefors the most costly paving material. Granite blocks cut by machinery, are, the most dursble the cond, and the cheapest. The macadsm pave- ment is generally condemned, excep! wooden pavomes in ing for countey roads and sircets that are not used for traflic. Our Farn- ham strect macadaw shows that euch paving is little Letter than none at all. Tho only way to make that pavement serviceable will be to cover the mao- sdam with asphalt. That will make a durable pavement, but when the cost of the macadamizing and the cost of the asphalt coatiog is computed, the outlay be foand greater than granite block assumed shspe in the organization of a company that is to constract a mam- moth elevator at the Union Pacific terminus—on the east side of the Missour . The following is the outline of this movement to organize a grain monop- oly—astelegraphed to the asscciated pre: A meeting of the Council Bluffs Elevator company was held here to- day with & view of commencing the work of erecting an elevator at this point at an early date, with a capacity of 1,000,000 bushe A board of direc ney Dillon, of Hughitt, of the Northwestern; Cable, of the Rock Island; Taomas L. Kimball, of the Union Pacific; T. J. Potter, of the Burlington; Mr. Hop. kine, of the Wabash, and George T. Wright, of the city, was selected, and the board elected Mr. Dillon praei- dent, Mr. Hushitt vice-president, and ‘George Wright secretary and taeasurer. Work cn the clovator will be commenced inslde of a few weeks and will be completed in tima tohandle grain shipmente this year. It will be erected near the Union Pacific depot. Now what object have these railway magnates In organizing this elevator company? Simply to control the en- tire grain traflic, to the exclusion of all private enterprise. Suppose other capltalists should now undertake to bulld grain elevators by the side of this rallrcad clevator! What show would they have for competition? No more than the parties who would be reckless enoughto attempt competition with the Wyoming coal monopoly. And what does this grain monspoly foreshadow to Nebraska farmers? Simply vassslage to the railway kings who regulate the prices of their jpro- dusts by regulating their tolls accord- ing to the amount they will bear, and who will In the future compel farmera to sell their products to the local sgonts of elevators at such figures as these legalized highway rob- bers may @eeo fit to cffer. With their iron grip upon the throats of the farmers the railway kings will on due time enlargs their ephers by monopolizing every industry that af- fords a field for thelr rapacity. Ifno stcos are taken by the American people for mutual self-protection apainst the aggression of these mouo- police, how long will it be befors every tiller of the soil esery mechanic aud every merchant will be & mere yessal paying tribute to geasping, seifish and remorselcss cor- porations. Can our boasted freedom and our republican institutions sur- vive when the peoplo cease to govern, snd the stock gamblers who acquire wealth by imposing arbitrery taxes upon the country have absolute and supreme control of ail the public highways and our telegraphs, and when they have unlimited power to pillage and confiscate our farms by depressing the value of our products, destroy cities by laying an ombargo upon their trafic, grant chartered priveleges tothemselves by legislatures and congresses packed with their bhenchmen and dependants, and con- firm their titles to property acquired by highway robbery through courts presided oser by jadzes appointed through thelr influence. —_— 12l to The Cleveland Leader. Pirrssure, April 11.—Suean Johu 80, & fine looking girl of seventeen, was arrested at the Union dopot this evening. She came to this city from Wallsville, O., last Saturday for the purpore of entering upou_a life of shame. She wae followed here by her father, & well-to-do farmer, who In Kansas City, whers macadam pavements are very cheap, they are beiag tora ap this spring and stone blocks substitated. Ta St. Louis they have during the past eighteen months boen experimenting with asphalt blocks, compressod by machinery. It fs claimed that thess blocks are as hard as gravite and fully as durable. Being smooth on all sides they can be be taken up when worn on the sur- face, and the blocks are tarned the pavement is agaln as good as new. The cost of these blocks is, however, almost as great as the cut granite and there is no cconomy in glving artifi- cisl pavemonts prefereucs over the solid granite block. THE AGGRESSION OF MONOPO- LIBS| A fow days og0 the Sapreme Court of the United States rendered a decl- sloain the case of Wardell va. Unton Paclfic Railrosd Compsny — which virtuslly confers upon that company the exclusive monopoly of coal min- ing in Wyoming. At the time the Union Pacific read was under tho control of the Credit Mobilier ring, a contract was entered Into by the company with Mr. War- dell granting hiw the right to mine coal upon ths lande within the Union Paclfic land grant lmit in Wyoming. After oporating these mines for sev. eral years and incurriug much expense Me. Wardell was forcibly ejocted by men in the employ of the Union Paci. fic company, his wices were taken posssesion of aud have since been oporated by an inside ring mude wp of men who control that corporation. Wardell sought rodross in the cour's and the U. P. gormorants pu: in ths plea that the conteact with Wardell was void because their Crodit Mobilier prede- cessers had no right make such a gon- tract, and the couris have sustained them. Soon after Wardell was driven out of his mines, othor parties that were operating coal wmines in Wyom- ing abandoned their minss, and the inuer ring of Union Pacific cormorants obtained exclusive eontrol of the coal mining business in Wyoming. Thus the peopie of Wyoming and Nebeaskn are to-day at the mercy of this giant monopoly, which by levy- ing the extortionate toll of ome dollar for every ton of coal it travafors across the Miseourl at Oma- ha—and by it high freight rates has forced the popalation tributary to their road 10 yurchass Wyoming eoal.

After her arrival in this city the girl took up her abode in & house of ill.repute on Fourth svenue, and this evening in company with anoth- er female called at the baggags mas- ter's office for her trunk. She was confronted by her almost brcken- nearted father, who with tearsia his eyes, begged her to return to her home with him. This she refased at firat to do, but after considerable per- saasion by the policemat: who had her in charge, she consented and left on the next trala for ber Ohio home. The only reason ehe gave for her con- duct was that sho was tired of the country.

Helena O, T.) Horald. The recent issuo of eighteen mil- lious of common_stock of the North Pacific company by vote of the execu- tive committee, afterwards ratified by the board of directors, may be a legal transaction under the charter, and in striot acccrdance with the plan of more tlement botween the old and the new managomen'. Andso far as the pub- lic is interested In the contest botween Billinge and his aesoci- ates in the present beard and Villard and his friends in the blind pool,tt is a matter of indifferencs to whom this lazge proportion of stock was iseucd. So far as the public is concerned, it will fare just as well in one case as the other. In both cases the stock would have gone cut with- out ever having a cent paid for It, avd in the futume history of the road tbis forty-nine millions of common etock will figure as mants for dividends, will decide the election of directors and otherwiss take a loading pert in the destintes of the road. Tt is a concern of the public, and of Moatana in particular, if our freight and passenger rates forever are 1 be bardened aud augmented by haviug to carry this dead weight of fictitions in- debtodness. The government laud grant is expected to build the road, aud any deficiency from this source s to be made up cut of the earnings of theroad. It is going to makea vast difference t0 us whether our transportation rates are tobe fixed on basis of a capital stock ot twenty-five milllons ora huu- dred willions. Upon the theory of the managers the goversment subsi dy of seventy-five millions worth of land was » personal donation to the ow iadividuals who generously cff-r- od to be wmovers of this mational gia. talty. Equity will iook upon this whole transaction ss the administra- tion of & trust for public benetit, and not principally for the benefit of the trastees. Cin there be sny equity in reqairing the public and. patrons the severs of the road, after having paid in _incressed charges enough to make op any deficiency in the govern- | ment eubsidy towards paying for the entire construction cf the road, then t0 g0 on forever paying dividents on a hundred millions of nominal stock for which_the original grantees had never paid a cent 7 1t looks as if, ac- cording to the programme thus cisu- aily brought to public view, the stock wae intended to be all water. Tostead of Villard spplying for an Injauction, it looksas if the custodi- ans of public interest, the congres- sional administrators of the public domain, ought to serve an fujanction limiting the final issue of stock to the smount of actual cost of construction, including incidentals, deducting the net procecds of lands donated by gov. ernment. This would give our sec tion a cheap road, over which freights and passengers could be transported at one-third the prices that must be malntained to carry seventy-five mil- lions of watered stock. 1t is the peoplo along theline of the road who buys the lands given by the government who really pay for build- Ing the roud, and these seme people are tho ones that will be taxed to pay the interest on thelr owa contribu- tions While wo do not share in much of this unreasopable tirado against the iuflated bondholders and conacience- less corporations, we still believe that the people have rights that ate to be respected as well. The old alchemists studied long and uosuccessfully how to manufactare gold out of sabstances chesp and abundant. It looks as if the wild dreams and echemes of an ignoraut and superstitious age were outdone by modern legerdemain in the manufacture cf valoable stocks out of simple water. I looks like presuming on the prerogative of the Almighty to make something out of the noth ng. THE RAILROAD PROBLEM. Hon. J. F. Wilson’s Record on the Issue—The Right of Eminent Domain from His Standpoint. o the adttor of Tho Sloux City Joursal. The annoncemeat of the candidacy of Hon. James F. Wilson, *‘by au- thority,” for eenator of the United States, had scarcely been made, when a defense of his record as a lifelong railroad attorney and champion was also entered upon, evidertly “by su- thority.” That this shows pecullar sensitiveness on this greatess aud liveliest of the public lssues of our times, will not be disputed by any Mr. Wilson’s most ardent friends. Capable man that hels, he iestinctive- ly adjusts his shield to the wesk and unfortunate parts of his armor. ~ Itis no wonder that he rusl to eclf- defense, agaiost the anticipated as- sanlt of the people who eagaged In a Zesperste snd critical strugglo for the aesertion and preservation of thelr rights aud powers. Never in the history of the conntry have the public corporations been 2o exacting, 20 wary, o tubtle and so powerful as during the past few years. The moet effsctive means for achleving thelr ends has been the acqulrement of power in legislative bodies, and latter- ly congress has been one of the most prominent filds of the operation, State control of railroads has been es- tablished by legislation, and the courts have revised a long lins of their decisions and interpretations and confirmed the legielation. About twenty of the thirty-eight states exer- Tocal control through the com- sion system, and congress is strug- gling to creste inter-state control. While legislaturzs and the conrts have enactod aud affirmed this con- trol, and while congrees at_the de- msnd of ths people 1s endeavoring to enlarze and nationalize the- jurisdic- tion of pr. tective law, Mr. Wilson is the ever ready and willing “‘attorney” of the railroads in thwarting the wishes and crying needa of the coun- try. To 1874 the legislature of Iowa en- acted the grangsr tariff law; Mr. Wil- s0n oppossd and denounced it, not 8o much on account of its notoriously impracticable and unjust provisions as of its assertion of the right of public control in the interest of the people and against the extortions okrailroads. In 1876 the legislature considerad bills to repeal that law, and it will be no news 1o any cne in Towa fomy thst every railroad man and influence u Towa was combined to aid in the work, Nor will it be news to any one that James F. Wilson the fore- most friend and champion of the railroads in the strugele. As there are many abler lawyers in the state than he, it cannot be said that he was selected for this especial work because of his superiority in his profession. Evldently it was because of his well- known views and consist- ent record on the rrilecad side of this question for a score of years. The ratlroads combined to secure the repeal of the tarifl law—to break down tho legalized right of public control. They knew his carefully prepared epeech, read from manuscript before the rail- road committzes of the Towa legisla- ture on the 18th of February, 1876, and printed in full in The State Rsg: istor, asserted in various forms of ex- pression the absolute and Indefensible right of railrond corporations to con- trol their roads as private property. Hero s an extract from the specch: ot exercise the right of the benefit of railroad rits own advantage and ublic_good. 1t could not exercise it for the privats inter- of the stockholders in railway corpor- for that would_contravene the con- tution. 1 exercisad at all it must be for tho public use. The cffect of the ex- ercise exhausts itself when the work has been sonst and its advantages re- ceivedto th d in no manner oper- ates to he business of railway com pauies from & private to a public charac. ter. This is the cld Dartmouth college case, amplifiod and case-hardened. It serts that the right of emincnt do- man is limited to the public grant of 80 m! d to a private corporation for public use on whatsver terms the company may imposa. It asserts that any right of legisltive control ceases abeolutely when tho granted ri way i3 occupied with the road. Itde- nies the exiatence of any surviving or contiuning sovereignty in the public over tho corporations. It asserts the practical severauco of theco corpora- tlons from all save the police power of the state, and the establishment of their independence; it declares pub- lic sovereignty in a mat'er of univer- sal public interest has been allicnated, It changes the relation of creator and creatare, meking the corporation tha masterand the people the slave.

It sbiicates sovere'gaty, and enthrones monop. oly. Mr. Wils>n emphasizes his wonder- ful philosophy by this additional ar- sument, which I extract from tha same carefally prepared speach: Pe:haps the greater portion of the rail- lines in this state are constructed over rights-of-way presented t> or purch «sed by companits owning them. ses the aid of the right of eminent has not been invoked. Private en- serprise and capital have dons the whole work. What shall wesay of the business conducted over such portions of our rail roads? 1Is it public or private business? If the exercises of the right of emineat domain gives & public character to the such In | business, does not the absence of the use of that right leavs its p: ¢ "Does not the absurdity thus presented of itself show that throughout the Northwest, causing such widespread loss and suffering, they were compelled to pay §8 fo 812 right of eminent domain has no such | PF ton foz coal that should have been effect upon the nature of the is | bought for §3, With a daily coneump- claimed for it? tion of eizhty-five tons'to one hundred Mr. Wilson ougkht to know that the | tons of coal, it is surprising that they law of eminent demsin is always | were obliged to su 1 Itis a fail- trictly constraed.

From bagiuning to end this speech is of a pleco with the above extracts. His commons on all these questions and for all the years of his public life are of like impert. Are they such as the people of Towa wish to have repr ed and sdvocated in congre: they want this most prominent rall- road lawyer in the wholo west to rep- resent them in congress where the great mass of the American peopleare now looklog for reliei? Mr. W frlends muy, *“. y authority,” possibly, tind something £mong the many utter- acces of this man for many yearspast in some small way modifyivg these general ylews which have been the theory of his life, But they cannot reverse the record of a life of profes- slopal devotion to the railroad side of the great ratiroad problem.
