Such a steady advance indicates the growth of the state, for which Omaha is the commercial center, and on this account every citizen of Nebraska has a personal interest in the matter. Tue demand of tha railroads for congressional regulation by which their contracts with one another can be enforced is likely to be loud and pressing if the present war of rates continues to prevail much longer. Since early summer the west bound passenger traffic has been out to figures which scarcely pay the actual expenses of running trains. The last move isa cut into east bound rates by which passengers are carried from Ohicago to Boston, via New York, for $6. Under this cut the Pennsylva- nia road, which pays $5.76 for send- ing its passengors to Boston from New York, gets only twenty-five cents for carrying a passenger from Chi- cago to New York. The entire guar- rel is an expensive one to the roads for which the public must pay dearly in the end by an equally arbitrary raising of the tariff.

Within the past two years the atten- tion of metalurgists has been strongly directed to the mineral wealth of such cutthroat warefare, AccorpING to the Lincoln Journal Mr. Galey stated boldly, witkout fear “‘of successful contradiction, that there was more interest taken in Omaha to defeat the building of the Fremont & Lincoln road than there was in Lin- coln to secure its construction.” Mr, Galey stated boldly what he well knew to jbe a downright falsehood. He has simply taken advantage of the known fears and jealousy of the peo- ple of Lincoln toward Omaha and hopes by such imposition to frighten |and a precedent is worth following again, and neither skill nor treasure should be spared in making fit national ae- knowledgement to Mr. Francklyn.

LincoLy, September 10.—For si days and nights your correspondent has shared all the harddships and all of the glories of Camp Abe Lincoln. He fought the winds to keep them from blowing his tent across Salt Creek, faced the blizzards of ice water fresh from Her Majesty’s dominions in Manitoba, marched to the front with the seven hundred and fifty scarred veterans from Illinois, answered to the call for the Eleventh Cavalry, shook hands with eight com- rades, not one of whom he had seen since the year 1864; hung out the banner of the seven pointed stars, met beneath its rays eight of Hancock’s veteran corps, two of them brother corporals in his own company, shook hands with and hugged grizzled old chaps, who were not quite as lovely as girls of sweet sixteen, but he loved them fully as well, shouted the old army yell, to invited galloping horse- men to ‘‘jump oft and grab a root,” ordered the drivers of braying mules to ‘“spike that battery,” with arms around necks, he sang, “‘In 1861," ‘““Marching Through Georgia,” “John Brown,” and ‘‘The Union For- ever,” looked at every ribband on every hat, for these told the regi- ment or regiments with which the wearer served, found those who had climbed the same hills on the same charges, camped on the same camp grounds, followed the lead of the same generals, comrades of the same brigadeby scores.

In Washington territory and Ore- gon heavy harvests and a large amount of railroad building have also brought prosperous times and at- tracted considerable immigration. Both have suffered to some extent the commercial depression which has offected the entire coast, but this is gradually wearing away to give place toa sounder and moro cheerful state of affairs, A large surplus of grain loft over from last year's harvest is available for export, and low rates of ocean freight will make the winter's for which he was the spokesman. The people of Omaha have not manifested the least concern about this Fremont & Lincoln railway pro- ject. Nota single businessman of Omaha has ever directly or indirectly sought to lay a straw in their way, norf has the Omaha press made a con- certed onslaught on thia job. For years this paper has opposed the subsidizing of railroads by bond donations and in this instance without suggestions or pressurefrom any quar- ter we have expressed the opinion that the people of Lancaster, Saun- ders and Dodge counties would be very foolish in voting mortgages upon their homes for the benefit of a rail- way that was bound to be buiit wheth- er thoy voted a dollar to it or not, 1n opposing Mr. Galey's scheme Tuk Bee has acted purely on its own im- pulse, without the remotest reference to the business rivalry of Lincoln and Omaha, But we presume Mr. Galoy and the bulldozers of the proposed Fremont & Lincoln branch will con- tinue to wave the red sag of Omaha in the face of the Lindoln bull, and we take it that they expect this is the only mothod by which the taxpayers of the capital city can be scaved into voting another §50,000 mortgage on themselve: — ONe of the most graceful acté of And this was before |storage more profitable than of a Bliss had risen above the medical |ready sale had been effected last fall, In Wyoming, the losses of a severe winter have been made up by the in, Trexe is a movement on foot by | creased price of cattle, and the ranges of Francklyn cottage to the presidlent by Mr. C.

The “‘close-up! close up!” which the offi- cers shouted when shells or bullets gapped the lino ‘was not heard, but every face looked as serious as if the order, ‘‘Column forward, charge bay- onets, double-quick, march!” was ex- cted before the time was ended. 0 heard old veterans tell how the ranks of brave boys melted away, how they died sending loving messages to dear ones at home, or shouting some war cry that condensed into one sen- tence all the patriotism that leads men to give wup life as if it were an idle toy. ‘Womaen sobbed aloud, tears ran down the cheeks of gray veterans and no dry eyes could be found. Your cor- respondent saw the survivors of the rebel prison pen, saw thecorn cob and all which was their only food, and heard tales of suffering that would chill the heart of Jeff lg)uvil himself, if Dr. Miller's statesman had a heart. When morning came it was ushered in by the roar of cannon and the roll of drums. Brass buttons and mili- tary emblems wero on the clothes of nearly all the men, the bugle call summoned to pork and beans, sutlers were busy and darkeys earning nickels by patting juba and singing, “We staid five days in Georgia, aha, aha, we staid five days i Georgia, all jine the union, aha, aha, fight for Uncle, Sam, Then harness up yer mules, be careful how you drive 'em,” ‘When the boom, boom of the can- non announced the opening of the sham battle your correspondent felt, in the language of his colonel, ‘‘Bob” Ingersoll, “Every man of the Eleventh is mounted to-day,” and it was hard to stand back and see others do the loading and firing, but the old flag was borne bravely forward, the enemy was outflanked, their lott driv- n in, a column was slowly stealing rough the cornfield unseen, with he evident design of turning their Right and when, with one grand rge, the battery was taken, it all a reality. COMPLIMENTS, scar A. Mullon, editor of the of- daily ““The Reveille,” is a man who can do hard work under disad- vaftageous circumstances and keep chbsterfeldian politeness always on = THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 1831, and a poet, may he yet find the peo- ple who have sense enough to appre ciate him, General Chas, F. Manderson has demonstrated to the people of Ne braska on many previous occasions he is one of the few attempts of nature at producing the perfect man and it is conceded by every one of the 5,000 veterans eamped under his command that his management above criticism. The errors committed were beyond the power of any com mander to remedy. Paul Vandervoort worked unceas ingly for the success of the reunion and that it was and success no one pretends to deny. Captain Wood and Commander Fitch, of Omaha, were conspicuous for their laudable efforts. Col. Sessions, of Lincoln, was the moat enthusiastic man in the camp. Col. Crabb, the commander of Towa's veterans, was the happiest man. Gen, Dillworth right nobly led the host from Illinois. Capt. Miles Warren came from Leadville to attend the re- union. Brig. Gen. Ekin, A. C.,, U. S. A, isa fine specimen of the old- time officer. Bob McCook, post No. 21, G. A. R., of Ashland, Neb., and they won the 850 prize. J. Clark is the post commander. THE MILITIA, Company A, of York, Capt. Scott commanding, holds the post of honor, and the boys have earned it. The drill like veterans, and their flan| movement at the sham battle was magnificently executed. They had forty-six men on duty. Capt. W. D. Young, a man who knows the duties of an officer, and a gentleman as if he were an old veteran, is the commander of compa- ny B, of Sutton. This company also musters forty-six men. Col. Colby, the commwandant, bore his honors well. Lieut, Col. Keller is an able assistant and also a veteran. Most of the the other officers and the privates are inexperienced and yet they are fair soldiers although a trifle green with a great deal to learn. Speaking of Nebraska’s militia brings up the Nebraska veterans of the war. ~ General Thayer, every inch a soldier, made a grand speech in their behalf, and the flags those brave boys carried to victory was accorded a reception that showed the honor in which thoy are held. Perhaps some day our militia may have the oppor- tunity for winning as bright laurels as their predecessors under Gen. Thayer, but let us hope not. Tho greatest wonder is the sobriety of the veterans. Let a convention of leading men be held and a large percentage get intoxicated before going to bed, but here were 5000 veterans and about ten thousand of their friends, and during six days stay in Camp Abe Lincoln, a drunken man was not seen, A few mulitia men in the adjoining camp got full and a few veterans up town, but in Camp Abe Lincoln there was no drunkenness, no fighting, no stealing, no vulgarity, nothing but healthy enjoyment. About $1500 were taken by the B. & M. for trip tickets between Lincoln and the camp. The 1st army corps, Hancock’s veterans, formed an organization by electing J. M. Taylor, of Nebraska City, president, and yours truly, sec- retary. C. H. Fredrick, an efficient staff-officer, a perfect gentleman and— well everybody knows General Fred- erick, of Omaha; he is first on the list; then comes J. H. Bowker, of York; R. L. Roberts, of Tthaca, and J. B. Brooks, of York. A corps ban- ner was decided upon and when the next reunion meets the veterans of the 1st A. O. will once again follow the star with seven points: This corps is worthy of more than a passing notice. It was organized under a special act of congress, giving $300 extra bounty for veterans who had served two years, and recruiting officers were notified to enlist none but those who could obtain certifi- cates of soldierly conduct from their captains. It was the seventh call for troops and this is the signification of the seven points of the star. It was the only considerable body of war veterans unmixed with raw levies that ever was organized in this country. The arms, uniforms and, equipments were different from and bettor than any others in the service, and distin- guished foreigners who saw the corps at Washington said it was the finest and most intelligent looking body of troops in the world and all first A. C. men were unanimous in the beliof top. He is & genius, as a philosopher the d. f. s were very right. Hundreds of men who had (};oviou-ly served as officers were in Hancock’s corps as privates. Officers got no bounties, hence in a crack corps, with big bounty and a chance for promo- tion, they were willing to cemmence again as privates, The Eleventh Illinois cavalry, Bob Ingersoll's old regiment, was repre- sented by Gen, Otto Funke and Lieu- tenant Shaw, both of Lincoln; and O. W. Wittstruck, Firth; R. Aldridge, Fairmont; Henry Sandritter, Blue Springs; D, Vy Crowse, Seward; John O. Wagoner, Bennett; Wm, Campbell, Peru; R. M. Pierce, Nesta, Neb., and J. H.
