Tar general impression west is that the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney will go to the Pacific over the Denver & Rio Grande, and the time will not be delayed more than three or four yoars at the farthest. In Senator Ingalls ‘“‘Reminiscences of Garfield,” he al- ludes to the administration of Presi- dent Hayes as a “‘reign already sunk into oblivion” “‘a hypocritical hiatus in American history.” Senator In- galls neglects to add that he himself helped to make up the record of the administration which he so cordially denounces, lecture on ‘Tur Salt Lake Tribune warns Con- growsinan Henderson, of Tllinois, that he has underestimated the political power of *he big railroad corporations of this country. ““If he will butlook around, he will see how some of the brightest men in the land have been shelved for daring to cry out for jus- tice for the people against railroad tyranny and oppression.” Tae North American Review will present in its February number, to be published on the 15th of the present THE OPEN FIELD.

Thousands of daily papers hiave boen started in this country, but it has been demontsrated time and again that no city of less than 100,000 population can support than two or three first-class dailies. Chicago, with more than half a million puople, has only two evening papers, the News and Journal, and four morning dailies, viz: The Tribune, Times, Inter Ocean and Herald, the latter being a new ven- an more ture, and The Inter Ocean, after ten years’ struggle, has never got a foot- hold in the city. In Cincinnati, with a population of 250,000, there arc three morning and one evening Caily, the evening paper being a consolida- tion of The Times and Star, after sevoral years of profitlesscompetition. The same comparison can be car- ried into every city of any size in the country. The Kansas City experi- ment in the open field demonstrates what we have all along maintained that no paper can be printed and delivered at ten cents wecek and survive, for the reason that the cost of delivery, incidental losses on accounts and cost of collection lit- erally awallow up the entire proceeds from subscription, and the advertising patronage of such papers in cities of lesn than 100,000 people will not pay the expense of running a paper, no matter how cheaply it is conducted. In the large cities like Chica- go, St. Louis and New York the two cent and penny papers are not delivered by carrier, but are s0ld to newsboys and newsdealers at the counter. The publishers have the money bofore the papers go out, and they can calculate with certainty how much money t hey will realize from sales of papers. E circumstances, and in the under such largest cition the open fiold is a very danger- ous one for those who venture to pub- lish cheap pavers. In St. kouis fnlly half & million has been sunk in succes- cessive failures to establish evening papers. The Chicago Telegraph, which had worked up a circulation of 16,000, was unable to obtain sufficient adver- tising patrovage to suryive in compe- month, Part TIL of its series of arti- cles on ‘‘The Christian Religion,” It will be from the pen of Geo.

Tuk uuivorsal commendation which has been accorded this paper in the fight for the enforcoment of the law and the maintenance of Omaha, shows that our ¢ determined that this community shall, us far as practicable, be purged of the dens of vice which have fostored crime order in ens are and assisted in giving a bad name to our city. Omaha has laws enough on the statute book, and what she now needs is their thocough and conscien- tious enforcoment by men who are sworn to do so. Frank Warrenrs, who has been pro- moted to the position of acting assist- ant to the editor of the Republican, champions the cause of his associates of the Third ward dives and dens in that paper. His attempts to arrayall the city officials against the editor of ‘T'ur.

Jim Wiisox and his friends in Jowa are not helping his senatorial canvass by their open boasting that Secretary Kirkwood is to be retained in President Arthur’s cabinet until after the legislature has balloted for a new senator, and is then to give way to Mr. Sargent, of California. Mr. Kirkwood’s friends —and he has thousands of them throughout the state--are very indignant that honest Sam Kirkwood is to be made a cat's paw to draw Jim Wilson's chestnuts out of the fire, and there are indica. cations that all the anti-Wilson men may pool their forces and unite on an opposition candidate. There is such a thing as overestimating political strength, and this seems to be what Mr, Wilson is doing at the present tion with more firmly established con- temporaries, In Omaha the open field has been a graveyard ever since the evening field was filled by Tur Bee. In less than eleven years we lave seen seven dailies born and buried, v The Fi- garo, Alta, Dispatch, Union, Inde- pendent, Nows, and Telogram. Each of these entored the open field, confident that they wore started to fill a long-felt want and each successively demon- stratod that the long felt want did not exist except i their imagination. Nearly all these papers would have died a-borning if they had not been backed by parties who were intorested in breaking down or injuring Tne Bre. Some of them were published at the least possible expense, with patent insides and stercotype plates, with all their telegams and much of their reprint transferred from the pages of Tue Ber's would be rivals. But with all these cheapening devices the expeuses proved heavier than the income and public patronage refused to support their yenture The founding of a daily paper is al- ways a risky undortaking and those who have had most experience in it are the least disposed to venture in it with their own money. Tt takes a great deal more capital to sturt a pa- per now than it did ten years ago. To compote with existing journals nowa- daysanewspaper musthaye fast presses, folding machines and other appli- ances which were not thought of ten vears ago, and the within itself is a very considerable item in the necessary outlay. In 1865 the Omaha Herald and Republican paid only $30 each a month for their dispatches, In 1870 the price was to §00 a month, and the publishers grumbled at the terrible Now they pay 890 a month During the first three years after Tue Bee started it paid $60 a month for its dispatehes, and now the telegraph tolls of Tur Bek are $240 a month exclusive of spocial telograph sorvice advancad expense ench dispatches which frequently amount to $100 & month or more.

There, within a stone's throw of Trinity offices of church, are clustered the eloven hundred stock brokers who transact busincss for investors and speculators in everystate in the Union, The New York stock exchange is the arena in which fortunes are made and lost every day by the shrewd manipu- Iators, who stake their own money or that of others against the turning of the market, and the statistics of that body affords a goods basis for estimat- ing the amount of specalative opera- tions throughout the United States. The printed statistics of the exchange show that during the year, 1881, 128,162,464 shares of stock were dealt in which, putting the par value of the stock at one hundred dollars would represent the enormeus total of twolve billion dollars. This vast business was transacted by eleven hundred brokers who reccived at the regular commission prescribed by the rules of the than thirty millions of lars as their share. The figures make the busiuess receipts of the stock brokers of New York for the past year over twenty millions of dollars Some idea of the enor- mously speculative tendency of the day can be gained from such statistics as the above, while the omenous figures of the bankrupt courts and the collossal bank defalcations and breaches of trust show the ing hnrry and strength of the male- strom of speculation. exchange more dol- lowest madden- ‘WESTERM RAILROAD PRO- GRESS. The cstimates of Tur Bek of the number of miles of railroad construc- ted in 1881, though placed at what was considered a high figure (9,000 miles) will prove too low when the re- The Railway Age puts the total number of miles ata triflo less than 10,000, New track was laid on 260 different lines, and the returns already aggregate 8,403 miles, an increase over 1880 of 1219 miles. The mild weather in No- vember and December partly made made up for the extreme cold of last spring, and work was vigorously pushed on all roads to the last day of the year.

The St. Louis & San Francisco road had reached Vinita in the latter territory early last summer, at which point it remained awaiting the action of the aboriginal authorities. The right of way was ob- tained some months ago, after a pro- tracted struggle in the legislative halls of the Tndian Nation. This grint consists of a tract 200 feot wide through the heart of the territory,and 400 feet at evory station, for which the compa- ny agree to pay perpetually 8500 per annum, There had been a few miles of track laid before the year, but not sufti Hl A ent for operation, The Union Pacitic railway company Legius the new year with 3,750 il of road in operation, covering thr states and four territories.

The present year will most interesting and lively fight in railroad building between two rich and aggressive corporations — the Union and Central Pacific. The settled determination of the latter company to build to the Missouri river, and through territory over which the former assumes a protecto- rate, has forced the Union Pacific into the field, and its first move was on congress, Senator Windom, who was supposed to be an opponent of monopolies and subreidies of every kind and class, has introduced a bill chartering the Missouri and Niobrara Valley railroad, or northern branch of the Union Pacific, under conditions similar to the original Union Pacific act of 1864, Tho bill also provides for a grant of land equal to ten sections on either side of the proposed road from the the point of junction, at or near Cheyenne. There is every rea- son to believe, from the temper and make up of the present congress, that this land grab will not find & place in atatute books for some years to come. The day of government subsidy, in either lands or bonds, is passed. The enormous amount of territory already witness a rive: granted railroad companies, which contributcs scarcely a dollar to the treasurics of local, ttate or national governments, but withheld from mar- ket and unpatented until its value reaches a profitable figure, is an argu- ment against further donations which congressman will not dare to disre- gard. Aside from these considera- tions, sufficient in themselves, this territory is certain of one or more roads during the next two years. The representatives of the Central Paciflc company have filed articles of incor- poration with the territorial secretaries of Utah and Wyoming and the clerks of counties through which the road will run, The line will branch out from the Central Pacific at Corinne, crossing the boundaries of Utah and Wyoming at the southern end of Bear Lake, and thence northeast ‘“‘through the counties of Uintah, Sweetwater, Carbon, Albany and Laramie, to a point on the eastern boundary of Wy- oming, where the Niobrara river By this acceptance the company ac- quires 5,760,000 acres of agricultural and timber lands in Washington and Idaho, and 2,660,000 acres of farming and grazing lands in western Dakota in all 1,320,000 acres. Favorable weather continues on the Yellowstone, and tracklaying goes on without interruption.

Tue OvMasa Bre, with its accus. tomed energy, and in_accord with the time-honored rule, has issued and sent out to its patrons a mammoth il- lustrated edition, as a beginning for the new year. The edition consists of the usual edition of Tne Bee and an eight page supplement, four of which are devoted to lithographed il- lustrations of the principal manufac- turing and public buildings and the finer residences of Omaha; while the other four pages are filled with labori- ously prepared descriptive articles on the history, progress and present status of the city, and its various pub- lic and private enterprises of note. As a work of reference in regard to the past and present of Omaha, it is invaluable. The informa- tion contained in this issue alone, without mentioning the illus- trations 8o true to the realities, is worth more thanthe subscription price of Tuk DarLy Bek for one year, and shows, at a glance, that an immense amount ot labor, expense and care have been bestowed in collecting, con- densing and arranging the details in proper form. Aside from _this par- ticular feat in journalism, Tue Bek, a8 a newspaper, 18 second to no paper in Nebraska. In its energy and vi- vacity it is without a peer in the state, and in collecting, condensing and pre- senting the very latest news on all topics it has no superior, if, indeed, it has an equal. Its editorial depart- ment is ably conducted, and has the peculiar merit of bemg fearless, bold and independent, though republican, in politics. 1ts expose of fraud and monopoly oppression is its specialty- a feature of most general interest to the working classes. Though we do not agree with Tie Bee in many par- ticulars, yet it is just such a paper as we take a pleasure in recommending toanyand all of our patrons who waat a wide-awake, live newspaper that keeps pace with the times STATB JOTTINGS.

This line will traverse, or furnish an outlet to, the best cattle ranges in the west—those on the Big Horn and Sweetwater valleys, besides opening up a vast area of country to permanent settlement. The road in Nebraska will follow the Niobrara river to itaconfluence with the Missouri at the town of Niobrara,at which point the Big Muddy will be bridged. The necessary papers for the Nebraska section of the line will doubtless be filed at Lincoln at an early day. This is the milk in the railroad cocoanut, the shell of which the Union Pacific is endeavoring to crack by coungres- sional statute. While Omaha might be directly benefitted by the Union Pacific con rolling the trafic of Northern Nebraska, the proposed land grant would rob a large portion of the state of the benefits of the homestead, pre-emption and timber culture acts, and precipitaie endless litigation and eventual ruin ot many settlers, of which there has been enough. The press of New Mexico are unanimously rejoicing over a Christ- mas gift in the shape of a reduction of passenger fares on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road. The re- duction applies throuchout the terri- tory, and is from nine and a half to eight cents per mile. The transition from twenty cents on stages to eight cents on the railroad, makes life en- durable with mongrel dominition. The unexampled growth of Denver in the last four years has brought to its feet four main lines of road - the Kansas Pacific, Denver Pacific, the Omaha Short Line, and the Burling- ton and Missouri.
