This amount rep- resents less than oue-half of Mr Field's steals from the stockholders of _the Now York elevated railroads. — Ouio is never happy unless it is in the midst of some political excitement, and although two years will elapse bo- fore a successor is to be chosen to Benator George Pendleton, a lively canvass for the position has begun in that state. Bince Governor Foster's great state victory last fall he has been oensidered the certain heir to the offics. Lately Mr. Keifor's friends fhave boen at work, and have settled upon a programme which will run Keifor for governorin 1883, and show his strength in tho state to the general assembly, which will then be asked to elect him to the senate. Mr. Koifor's record as speaker will be a poor foun- dation to base any strong hopes of success upon when compared to the uarivalled popularity of Charley Fos- ter. Aman who can carry tho stato for a second term ot the governorship by 25,000 plurality, with a strongly organiged temperance fight against him, will prove a tough competitor in sny political fight in which h» may be engaged, as Mr. Koeifor is likoly to discover to his sorrow. — Qoxvucror HANFORD says that on the train that was run into at Spuy- ten Duyvil, through the fault of ovi boly in general and nobody in ular, there were seventy-seven ree passes. As the fare from Al bany to New York is §3 10, so the New York Central & Hupson River railroad company waived the sum of $238.70 by oairying these soventy- seven persons free of charge. As the waid railroad company has never claimed to do business for nothing or even for fun, the question na. turally is, What did it get or expect to get for this whole- sslo dead-heading! Perhaps it does not carry aeyenty-seven people free of charge every day; but the 13th inst, was the last day of the legislative week, and many of the fifty or more members from New York and Brook- lyn were on their way home, accom- pavied by lobbyists and “heelers,” and also by country membors, whoso mwost pronounced tastes can be grati- fied in New York with less dangor of notoriety than in Albany, Of course the company never wants anything at the hands of the legislators, so the question still remains, What dic it -1 voice THR LATE All.'l‘;A'fl MEET. Trx Bun haa purposely refrained from any extended editorial eomment on the late moeting of the Btate Farmors Alliance at Haas ings. Tt haas proferred to let the detailed re- port of the proceedings published in it's columns ' speak for iteell. No such representative body has ever be- fore asmewbled in Nobraska to the sentiments of it's pro- ducers, to diseusa the wrongs and bur- dens under which they are suffende, and to consider measares of politieal reform to redress cxisting abuses With a laego attendance from every " | sestion of our atate, a clear idea of the purposes tor which it was called to- gethor, and a determination to enter upon the disoussion ot no divertiny topics, the results of themeeting were all that the most sanguine friends of the farmers of Nebraska could have desired. The speoches of the mem- bers wre well worthy of preservation. That of Mr. Ingersoll, published in the current number of Tnz Bee, is oapeoially interesting to every tax payer of the state who has been foroed to bear an inoreased bur- den of taxation on account of tax shirking corporations, aided by unscrupulous assessors and india rub- ber conscienced boards of e jualization. Tas Bee commends Mr. Ingersoll's argument, with its carpfully collocted statistics, to every one of ita readers. Other addresses woro in no degree be- hind that of Mr. Ingersoll in point, pith and intorest. They demonstra- tod that Nobraska farmers are a read- ing and thinking olass, whe have opin- ions of their own and who dare to ex- press them. A brainier, more evenly balanced and more sober minded po- litical gathering has mnever convened in the state, and the harmony of their deliberations is strong testimony to the widespread and rapidly growing anti-momopoly sentiment among our people. Twelve thou- sand voting' farmers enrolled on the lists of the subordinate Al- liances wore reprosented at the Hust- ings meetirg. More than double that numbor will be enrolled during the npxt six months. Before the next campuign is upon us the political par- tiea of the atate will be furced to rec- ognize tho fact that a well or- ganized army of voters are prepared to do battle for tho cause of auti.mo- nopoly —within tho party lines, if pos. sible, without them if necessary- What their aims and principles are may be read in the stirring resolu- tions passed by tho Hastings meeting. These pringiples are economically sound anil dggally tenable. They have been endorsed by tho leading mer- chants and shirpers of the nation, sustained by the highest judicial authorities, and are opposed only by such men and writers as draw their support from the corporations whose outrageous extortions they are de- signed to effect. They form a de- olaration of rights which will ring through every county in this state, and make itself felt at the polls next November in the election of candidates pledged to represent the people and their iuterests in opposi- tion to corporation bribes and mon- opoly threats. A MARKET HOUSE. Tho vropusition of Mr. Webster Snyder to ereot a market house and oity hall on Jefferson square at a cost of $150,000, which is to revert to the city at the end of fifty years, strikes us favoaably. Jefferson equareis a central location, and while it affords ut a sorry substitute for a park, it will afford all the ground that is needod for as large a market house as may be found in any other American city. When a similar proposition was made some years ago by J M. Pattee, we did not commend, partly because wo had grave foars that the markot house would bo a sort of Poter Funk concern, and partly becauso we looked with disfavor on the proposi- tion to give s notorious spoculator like Pattee tho mounopoly of ourpublic market. Mr. Snyder does not ask for a market monopoly, and his es- tablished reputaton is a guaranty that no undue advantage will be taken of our necessitios by extortionate rates. It will be eminently proper, howover, for the council to exercise prudence in entering upon & contract of such manifest importance. If they decide’ to accept Mr, Snyder's proposition thoy should exer- cise reasouable diligence in providing proper sufeguards againgt abuses and retain supervision over the market house, It is hardly necessary to say what everybody concedes, that Omaha will get or what does it expect for the seventy-seven frée passes?--Now York There are none so blind as those who will not see. The editor of the Herald has evidently never heard of railway courtesies, whioh are extend- ed as freely to legislators, congross- men, judges and state officials with- out reward or hope of reward. Still, in & recent discussion of the pass question by Chicago railroad magnates it was stated that shippers’ passes might be diminished in number but that it wouldn't pay to cut down on state officials and editors. A railroad corporation knows the cheapest mar- ket and gets value received every time for its tranbportation, - - dorive material benefits from a well regulated and commodious market house. Our observation in other citics where a city hall was located in the market building, is not favorable to such a combination mainly bacause lished ot the wealth of American nillionaires whose property has heen woumulated within the past fow locades. The immense speculations A daring men which have poured millions into their private purses have all been made st tho expense of uthers fortunes are investments. Every turn of the wheel bringing lvck to one has brought misfortune to hundreds. The private palaces of the nrailroad kings and the luxarions extravagances of speculators in othsr lines reprent wealth which has more or loss been diverted from that even distribution which makes & country ocontented and prosperous. Jay Gould is said to be worth $60,- 000,000 roprosenting swindled bond- holders, watered stock and Heeced investors. Mackay, Flood & Mills made there millions largely by shoer robbery of the public.

The railrond campaign in Nebraska has already opened. Burveying par- ties are abroad in the land and their movements are a sourceof lively agita- tion to the people of the several coun- ties in which they are operating. A few inolated parties have been left in the South Platte country as sentinels, while th¢ main ‘‘army of oocupation” are now on the north side of the riyer in search of new and rich fields.tocon- quer. The Union Pacific Company is determined to cover the central tier of counties wich two extonsive branch tines,—the Omaha, Niobrara and Black Hills and the Grand Island and St. Paul branch. The former will be pushed directly northwest from Al. bion, through Cedar Valley with the Black Hills as the objective point. ‘The latter will run nearly parallel with the main line through the Mid- dle Loup Valley with the evident in- tention of heading off the B. & M., and preventing that company secur- ing a foothold in the north. The vig- ilaot managers of the lattor are not likely to be checkmated or driven from the field by a display of superior force. The Central City branch will certainly be pushed north during the coming summer, as the route has been partially decided upon. From Kearney northwest a most inviting field presents itself. The oiland iron tields of Northern Wpyoming, which aro now being developed will soon furnish & large amount of traffic to the nearcst road, whilo the cattle ranges of the north and west, the most productive in the country, would tost the carry ing capacity of any road during summer and fall. A few months more will develop railroad plans of the utmoat importance to Northwestern Nebraska. Those out- lined above are certainties, but the exact routes and the towns which they will strike are matters of con- jegture, Rumors aro in circulation thata B. & M. surveying party is running a line through the Elkhorn valley. They crossed the Union Pacific in the vicinity of Waterloo recently on their way mnorth, Diligent inquiry failed to secure any definite information in regard to the movement. Those who could throw light on the subject re. fuse to shine. Tho Tribune asserts that the company has already sur- voyed a line from Fremont to Omaha, but what advantage the company would gain by such a stub is not visi- ble to the naked eye, unless it secures control of, the Fremont & Elkhorn Valloy road. The linoof the supposed suryey is from a point below Bellovue on the Platte bottom, crossing the Missouri Pacific near Springfield and the Union Pacific near Waterloo, This would increase rather than di- minish the distance to Fremont, In this convection, The Plattsmounth Enterpriso claims to have authority for the statement that the proposed line will run from Ashland, on the west side of the Platte river, to Fre. the great crowds at market houses generally blockade the entrance to the city hall. This is very objectionable when prisoners are led to and from police court and on occasions when large numbers of people are called to transact business in the city hall. er——————— Tue often ropeated argument that the rich are growing richer in this age and the poor poorer draws strong sup- port from the statistics recently pub- mont, to connect with the Sioux City & Pacific, It is quite certain that the road will be built over one of these two routes, Another corps of B, & M, engincers recently finished a survey from Paw- nee City by way of Senoca to Topeka, Kansas, The route was found to be an exceptionally good one, traversing some of the best counties in both states. A Gould engineer weut over the same route afterwards, > ‘'taking notes,” and a fight for posi- tion is liable to follow. Burveyors are again running the line of the Lincoln & Northwestern in Baunders county. The Bioux City & Pacific is believed to be baoking Galey in the work, which insures the construction of the rond the present yoar. The bond question has tem- porarily taken a back seat. The Beneca (Ks.) Tribune reports the organization of a company, with headquarters at Topeks, to build a road from Ft. Boott, Kansas, to Lin- eoln, via Topeka. The company has already besn chartered, the line sur- veyod and the right of way procured between Ft. Scott and Topeka. The Central Branch of the Union Pacific will be pushed into Southweat- ern Nebraska the coming summer, The preliminary survey is now being made. The road will ultimately con- nect with the main line of the U. P., making a short cut to Kansas City and St. Louis. It is a beggar corpor- ation ef the smallost type, and at the present rate of progress a generation will pass away before it will accom- plish the job. The agents of the company begged 8500 each from the towns of Hardy and Nelson, to de- tray the exponses of the preliminary survey in Nuckolls county. The Utopian dreams of Montana have been destroyed. Kor the past two or three years the peoplo have looked anxioualy toward the east and south for the coming of two great rival railroads. They wero not asked to losen their pursestrings nor mort- gago their eatates, and consequently felt they were ‘blessed beyond their follows, All is vanity, Scarcely had they recovered from the holiday excitement when rumors, which have wince ripened into faots, filled the air that a compact had beon enterod into botween the Utah & Northern and the Northern Pacific by means of which present and future spoils would be amicably divided and the territory divided into two great districts, The rapid advance of the narrow guage into the heart of the territory by two lines, forced its pretentious rival to capitulate and surrender the southern half of the territory. This is what led the Northern Pacific some time ago to abandon tha Butte route for the main line and the selection of the Holena and Mullan Pass route. The terms of the compact, as near as can be loarned, are as follows: 1. The Northern Pacific withdraws its projected Butte branch, 2. The Utah & Northern to com- yplote ita extension from Silver Bow to the Northern Pacific junction, a dis- tance of thirty-eight miles. 3, The Utah & Northern to extend its trunk line to Helena. 4, The Northern Pacific to be sup- plied with iron for 189 miles of track, over the narrow gauge, dolivery to begin May 1st. Tt will be seen by this arrangement that the Utah & Northern has gained every point contended for, and con- sidorable of a boost in traffic. It secures undisputed control of the Blackfoot Valley, where the principal fight was made, forcing her antagonist to withdraw entirely from the field, The narrow guage will tap the Northern Pacific at right angles at two distinct points, east and west of the Main Range, which makes possible a through rail route before the close of tho year. . It is strongly intimated that these extensions of the Utah & Northern will be triple-railed, to en- able the Northern to connect long be- fore the completion of the Mullan Pass tunncl. it will be beneficial to the people of Montana, and it also teaches them the fullacy of building great hopes oa “‘competition” between railroads, The subdued tone of the press is shown in the following extract from "““The Threatenod Danger,” in The Butto Miner: ““There will be no competing lines in the territory, unless some other railrond can see an inducement to build one here, and our only hope for fair passenger and freight rates lies in the magnanimity of the man- agers,” The last four words descrve the distinction of italic ,emphasis; ‘‘the traffic will bear it,"” The Yellowstone National Park, the great wonderland of the north- wost, will soon be open by rail to touriste, A party of St. Paul capi- talists last woek heralded their scheme to build & branch from the Northern Pacific to the park, and their inten- tion pleasure facilities, *‘provided the gov- ernment guarantees exemption from competition, " posed branch lies through a well tim- bered country, and the numerous brimstone factories in the park will give the road considerable employ- ment, besides transporting tourists. While the 8t, Paul fellows were tele- graphing their plans all %over the country and congratulating themselves that they hag taken time by the top- knot, a party of capitalists were quietly at work in Virginia City, Montana, receiving subscrip- tions to the stoek of the Montana railroad company, which proposes to construct a narrow guage road from some point on the Utah & Northern to the park. Two routes have already been surveyed —one by way of Vir- ginia City and the Madison river, and the other via Gallatin, This strong and healthy bantling is under the fostering crre of the lhi‘rn Pacifie, an growth and ultimate succeas is assured. The company effected por- manent organization on the 21at, and work will begin immedistely. These roads will enjoy a very brief monopo- ly of the park. The four roads now pushing through Nebraska and Da- kota for the Black Hills and Northern Wyomiag and Montana will pluck that persimmon at a ripe ago andjsecure the bulk of tourist travel, nine-tentha of | 4 which comes from the cast. Thero has been considerable work done on the Greeloy, Salt Lake and Pacific during the present winter, Great difficulty has been experienced in securing and retaining graders, the mines in the vicinity carrying off a large number. The contract calls for the completion of the road to Boulder by the 1st of March. The grade is finished to that town and twenty miles beyond. The citizens of Davenport, Iowa, hold a meeting last weok to discurs the advisability of aiding a new rail- road ‘‘running in a northwestern di- rection from Davenport to the most available point in Dakota.” Talk is cheap, but it takes monay to build a railroad with steel rails worth $70 a ton. The board of trade tackled the subjoct in a business way, and started a fund to defray the expenses of the preliminary survey. out in the resolutions proposcd a road through unoccupied territory in Da- kota, via Sioux City or Sioux Fallu, to form a connection with the Henne- pin canal when constructed.

Every concession will be made to secure and hold the trade of Bouthwestern Montana., Traffic on the roud is already large, and during the spring and summer it will have all the business it can handle. The Denver, Western and Pacific, sixteen miles long, for which the U. P. recently paid $600,000, is describ- ed by a Denver ;paper as the ‘‘Great Mysterious:” The road runs midway between the Colorado Central and " the Denver, Unton & Pacific. The grade is very bad. Tt looks as though the survey- ors had picked up all the hills and dales on which to lay the iron. For one minute.the train’is on the highest knoll and the next down in a deep gully tugging away to get up steam to ascend the next hill. The roughness of the read would indicate that it was ballasted with cotton batting. The delay in filing incorporation papers for the Central Pacific exten- sion through Nobraska is due to the fact that the engineers have not yet completed their report. It will re- quire a few weeks more to com- plete the profile after which they will be forwarded to headquarters for approval. The com- pany will find the fiold pretty thoroughly covered by the time they get across Wyoming. The collapse of the Denver & New Orleans railroad fulfills the prophecies of the Denver papers that the road was o frand, because the country it traversed produced nothing but cactus and Colorado beetles. Dzacon Evans was unable to negotiate thebonds, and the appointment of a receiver fol- lowed. The Deacon’s ovorthrow would be the salvation of the road, as his management has made it enemies everywhere, PERSONALITIES. Mary Anderzou says she is not ready to warey yet. Who asked her?
