THe city council failed to agreo at their last meeting upon a disposal of the Union Pacific olaim to oceupy Jackson street with their side tracks, A petition for the same street was also put in by the B. & M. road. The Brk voices the sentiments of a large majority of the citizens of Owaha when it urges the council to refuse botk requests. Omaha has already donated over £700,000 to railway cor- porations in lands and money. It is high time that this reckless donation «f public property should stop. Mx. Mokoax, of Alabama, is a sen- sitive man, and his feelings wore greatly injured yesterday in the,sen- ate by the reply of Secretary Lincoln in response te a resolution of inguiry regarding the governments expori ments with gune of a large culibre, Mr. Lincoln's communication was to the effect that it would take the entire fiscal year to furnish the de- sired intormation and this reply Mr, Morgan construed into & ‘‘snub” to the body of which he i¥ a member. There is an 0ld saying that a fool may ek & guestion which will take a wise Suaes o year to answer, Mr. Morgan Rus probably never heard the quota- B THE FARNAM STREET GRADE. The certainty that Omaha will shortly enter upon an extensive sys. tom of paving her principal streets has awakened a new agitation in favor of changing the grade of Farnam stroet from Sixteenth to the crest of the hill Twentieth street. Early last apring the city council appointed thre which at citizons to appraise the damagos would result from such change of grado. The report of the appraisers was filed last March with the council and on account of the heavy damages claimed by the owners of abutting lots it was not deemed take any further action in the matter. Within a few days the county commis- that the question whether the present grade is advisable to sioners have determined to be maintained or not ought to be settled and they have been reinforced in their opinion by the urgent requests of several heavy owners of property along the line of the projected im- The dacision of the city council to annul the appraisergent of last spring has been also reached after consultation with a number of our citizens who are interested in having Farnam street levelled and who, it is understood, are willing to waive all damages to their property interests in case the grade is changed. Farnam strect is the natural trade thoroughfare of Omaha It is the only street in the city which extends for three miles with a uniform width of one hundred feet. The rapid man- ner in which it is being filled with substantial business houses of brick and stone shows clearly that before a few years elapse the entire stroet from Tenth to Sixteenth will be fully occupied with permanent structures, At this point the hill operates to turn aside the current of trade into other channels. There is no doubt that the cutting down of the Farnham street grade would be an immense advantage to the prop- erty adjoining and a benefit to the city at large. Much of the traflic to and from the country which now panses along St. Mary's avenue would provement. seck an outlet by way of Farnham stroot. The building of the court house and the grading of the street together would make upper Farnham street peculiarly available for busi- nees purposes while the whole streot lined with substantial stores would become one of the handsomest thor- oughfares in any city of the west. Much, of course, will depend upon the action of the property owners in the matter. 1f they can be brought to see that the advantages to be de- rived from the contemplated change of grade will moro than offset any damages which they may undergo by reason of tho lowering of the hill, thore ought to be no difliculty in set- tling the question to the satisfaction of all concerned. On the other hand the city, in ordering the new apprais- ment, must be prepared to make fair and reasonable ccmpensation for all legitimate damago to the valuable abutting property, and for the conse- quent inconvenienco which such grad- ing will occasion to residonce owners along the lme of the contomplated improvemont. THE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCI. s'non AND MR. CHITTEN- EN. Tue Bek i a recont number called the attention of its readors to the journal of the so-callod American Ag- ricultural Association which contained Edward Atkinson’s article on *‘The Railroad and the Farmer,” and the roply to the same by Hon. L. E. Chit- tenden of the National Anti-monopoly League. Mr. Chittenden's articlo was prefixed by an apologotic noto from the monopoly editor of the journal in which he warned his read- ors against the ‘‘communstic senti- ments” of Mr. Chittenden, and - dulged in general abuse of farmers favoring raileoad rogulation. Iw- monse numbers of this issue of the Journal were distributed by the rail- ronds, the Erie company alone taking 10,000 copies for free ciroulation among the farmers along the line of its road. In short the American Ag- ricultural Association of which Mr, D. H. Wheeler, of Nebraska, is ono of the vico president’s was used as a docoy through which to conduct the operations of the railroad literary bureau and to swindle the farmers into the belief that a uational organiza- tion of agriculturists was opposed to any control of the ruilwaye by the people. Mr. Chittenden has not felt disposed to suffer in silenco under the attack made on him by Mr. Keal of the Journal and at the request of the Anti-monopoly League, Tug Bee publishes his answer in the form of o card TO THE PUBLIC, The criticism of Mr. Real, the edi- torof wo artielo on “The Railroad and the Farmer,” in the October number of the American Agricultural Associ. ciation, desorves a fow obsorvations 1. A rovised proof was sent Mr, Raul of my nrlicr:. to which ho paid no attention. I deay his right to re- fuse to correct the article and then | abuse we for writing it. 2. He says my articlo is “conceived in & spirit of communism,” This statement is not true, There is not a communistic idea or sNggestion in it. It maintains the righ$s of prop erty, and insists upon the faithful ob- sorvance of the laws, as they are de- od by the highest Jjudicial au- ‘homii 8. He says that T question the mo- tives of Mr Atkinson without just cause. 1 do not question his motives atall. T state a fact, that his article has been largely circulated among the farmers at railroad cost. This fact Mr. Real does not deny. 4. Mr Renl says the main points of Mr. Atkinson are that the railroads have developed the resources of the country, & Thisis not his main point at all. Had it been there would have beon no occasion for my answer. The point of his article was thatthere had been an_extraordinary redustion in railroad charges due to the volun tary acts of the companies, from which the farmers had received a larger measure of benefit than the railroad companies. This statement I have conclusively refuted. Mr Real cannot escape by dodging the true, and tendering me an immaterial issue, 6. He says that Mr. Atkinson did not attempt to express any views as to the legal right of the people, and complains of me because 1 have set forth these rights as the basis of the discusssion, 1f the people’s rights are ignored there can be no discus sion of the railroad question. One might as well try to discuss the ori of the rebellion and omit all refer- ence to slavery., . He says and repeats that I main- main that the relations of the state to the railroads is that of a borrower of money, and the larger part of his articlo is_a refutation of that state- ment and the consequences of it. Mr. Real knows 1 have stated no such propesition. He was hard pressed for facts when he attempted 1o impute this to me. No sensible man can misundcrstand my article. I discusa the question under three aspects. First, when the state should build a railroad with the public funds. Sec- ond, when the state should build a railroad with funds borrowed for the purpose. Third, and the case in hand when the state ‘‘prefers to be relieved of the cort and care of constructing and operating the railroad, to delegate a portion of its duties to a body of citizens forming a corporation and to compengate them tor the performance of theso duties by a grant of certain privileges.” The state a borrower from the railtoad companies! Non- senee! § 7. Mr. Real says that I present ‘‘estimates of the cost of transporta- tion not less absurd than my theo- ries.” He attempts to prove this by flat misrepresentations; by putting words and arguments into my mouth which I have never used. On page 149 1 discuss the “actual cost of moving freight.,” T put this question, “What is the actual cost of transporting the” burden of a freight train on such a railroad from East Al- bany to New York?’ This question 1 attempt to answer approximately, and T do answer it as accurately as the facts obtainable will warrant. . Lam not discussing the gen- eral ¢ 8t of conducting the transporti- tion business of a railroad. Mr. Real, knowing this, undertakes to say 1 am, and therefore he urges that my thecries are absurd, because I have omitted the cost of agents, advertis- ing, returning empty cars, etc. He was hard pressed for material when he resorted to this, Mr. Real's criticism is founded upon these non-statements of my own and Mr. Atkinson's article. All the rest of his criticism falls under three heads: Mr. Real's opinion, abuse of myself, and praise of Mr. Atkinson. In Mr. Real’s opinion I am ignorant; I abound in invectives; 1 appeal to prejudice and not to sound judgment; I deal in misrepresentation; I have not established a singlo fact; my esti- niates are not less absurd than my theories, and I ‘‘dont amount to much anyway.” Mr. Atkingon, on the contrary, is in great commercial and manufactur- ing enterprises. He is a shipper upon and patron of the railroads; has had *‘opportunities;” is a practical busi- ness man; a compiler of facts, and a calm reasoner. In short he is a great and good man, I aeny th:t Mr. Real's opinions are of any consequenco. He is working in the interest of the railroads, and ‘“tho laboror is worthy of his hire. ' His abuso is what I state in my arti- cle T expect from persons in his posi- tion, and I have recsived so much of it that any little addition from Mr, Real is immatorial. Were I in Mr, Atkingson's place, receiving the praises of Mr. Real, T might say with blutf, but rather wicked, Ben Wade, in a discussion towards the close of the rebellion, whether President Lincoln would appont a chief justice in place ot Judge Taney, *“during Buchanan's administration,” he said, “'T used to pray that the lifo of the chief justice migkt be pre- sorved until aiter Mr. Lincoln's in auguration, but the judge holds out 80 long that Tam very much afraid 1 overdid the business.” In his praise of Mr. Atkinson I think he has over- done the business. In one respect my article has been productive of good results, which amply ru&my the trouble of its prepa- ration. uurwaud, and muny far- mers supposed, that the ‘‘Journal of the American Agricultural Associa- tion” was n farmors’ journal, was pub- lished jn their interest, and would ad- vocate that interest in public ques- tions. We did not then Enuw that it was supported by railroad contribu- tions, and was, in fact, a railroad or- Euu. The farmers and vuhlic now now just whore to place the journal ahd the men who control it L. HITTENDEN, —_— Tur charges brought against City Marshal D. P. Angell by two mem- bers of the city council should meet with & prompt investigation. Tue Brx knows nothing about the specific charges made by Mossrs, Hornberger aud O'Keofe, but it doos know with overy citizen who-has paid any atten- tion to the mubject, that our police foree has been for months demoralized and that Mr. Angell has proved him self entirely incompetent as city marshal. His term of office has been disgraced by more disorder and crime and greater inefliciency among his subordinates on the police force than under the Jjurisdiction of any marshal within our recollection. Within the past three _mnntlu the daily papers have chron- icled two murders, three shooting affrays, & score of burglaries and rob- beries and innumerable offenses of a lighter nature. Crime has run riot in this city under the very nose of the law, while the daily violations of city ordinances and state flagrant examples of the contemp felt by the offenders for the city authorites, If Omaka ever nceded a capable and efficient eity marshal she does at the present time, The license systen: statutes are under which sixtysix citizens have paid a large sum for being protected in their busi ness from partien who have not been granted lice to sell liquor. 18 now under trial Having complied with the law, and being still subject to the pena fine and the recalling of their lic in case they wviolate its provisions, they have a right to expect that the city marshal will promptly arrest all porsons who are selling without li- cense. It is an admitted fact to day that there are at least twenty saloons and dens in Omaha that are running openly without license, and which the police either negloct or wilfully refuse to close. tions of the law of daily occurrence are unchecked by the city marshal, who is directly responeible, under the mayor, for the enforcement ot the law in this city. Under these the complaint against Marshal Angell is timely, and should reccive prompt at- tention. Tue Bee Mayor Boyd's attention to the subject for ‘such action as he may deem most ad- visable.

Fully three thousand five hundred of these may safely be left to slumber in the commttee room pig- eon holes. Tue ridiculous parade of their vir- tues made by the Grant delegation at Chicago, is exciting very general and well deserved derision. The New York Evening, Post says “There is something intensely lu- dicrous in the attempt made by 80 ‘stalwart’ politicians to invest the ‘glo- aious 306,” who ‘stood by Grant to the last,” and the ‘Spartan band of 29,” who continued to vote for Conkling until his successor was clected to the senate, with a character of romance. The 306 and the 20 are talk- ed of as if they had done something remarkably dan- gerous and heroic, reckicssly exposing their lives to the attacks of over- whelming hosts like the 390 Spartans at Thermepylie, or riding into the jaws of death with a cannon n front and on the right and left of them, leaving most of their number on the field, like the 60O of the light brigade at Balaklava. Recently the 306 have decorated themselves with brass medals to commemorate the valiant exploit, and a few nights ago they have been talking about themselves ith the most enthusiastic admiration after-dinner speeches at Albany.” NOTES AND COMMENT.

Tecumseh Toichlight., Coneressman Dagget, of Nevada, has recently presented an indictment srs, Stwnford, Hunting ton, Crocker and others of the Cen tral and Southern Pacific railroads, in which he charges that thesegentlemen (1) have within the last fifteen years unjustly acquired the ownership and control of over £300,000,000 worth of property; that in return therefor, they have given no equivalent; that on the contrary, they have acquired much of this vast capital and power by fraud and extortion robbery; and that they are still using the same for further extortions and robburies; that 15 years ago their combined capital did not ex- ceed 8150,000; and their actual invest ment in these railroads is $12,000. The evidence adduecd by Mr. D. is abundant and conclus That other railroad magnates have practiced the same abuses is generally believed, in a lesser degree perhaps, and the ques- tion that naturally comes home to thinking patriotic men is, what are we going to do about it? a question not easily answered. The evil is ap- parent. The consequences of a con- tinuance of the evil are also apparent. It is certain that nothing will be done about it until the people do it. The evil will not cure itself. The railroad magnates will not alter their course except under compulsion. Their vic- lent and acrid opposition to every attempt to secure justice by the peo- ple; their earnest and generally effec tive effurts to obstruct and defeat the passage and proper working as such laws as are passed by throwing oppro- bium upon the same, their authors and supporters, is too well known to need recounting here. In making these efforts and this opposition these railroad men have certain advantages well worth looking at. In the first place, they have money, and lots of it. The fact should not be overlooked that the money they use for this purpose, practically belongs to and comes from the people. Every dollar expended by them in this as in every other direction is considered by them as expenses; and is charged up to and becomes a part of that list termed operating exponses. As laws now are, they are casily reimbursed for these expenses (1) by a slight addition to the taritl, so that in this fight between the rairoads and the people, the people pay the expenses of both sides. This fact needs to be kept in view, as it has pertinence along the whole liue of (o trovery Agaiuthese mensre men «flarge ability and are generally public spirited. 1t is easy to be libéral and public sprited with other people’s money. The are honorable (?), educated and agreeable, and so are nfluential. To such men with such means and influences, argu- ments and advocates are never want- ing. To such men with such advan- tages, organization is a simple matter; aud that they can and do organize, thoroughly and perfectly is natural, and not to be wondered at. Noris it to be wondered at that they make this organization and influ- ence felt in the legislature, the lobby and upon public opinion, Oue of thewr most_effective methods is to so distract and confuse the public and its law makers with other questions, as to turn the atten- tion away fr m this once Liko other fishermen, they like to fish in muddy waters. Opposed to men with these advantages of money, ability, intlu- ence, power and 00ganization mere numbers scattered confused and un- organized count for very little. The Anti monopoly League and the Farmers’ Alliance are associations whose objects are to arouse public sen- timent to the gravity of the evils inci- dent to our system of railroad and other corporate monopolies; to gather and circulate information in regard to the same; and to organize the people %0 as to bring about the remedy, necessary It is to bhe hoped that these tions will succeed in their en- deavor, and that the State Alliance will 8o perfect its organization and devise such methuds, that success will be assured. The purpose of the league and alli- ance has been to work within existing party lines, but there are those both within and without the league and alliance who think that present parties or at lesst the machinery of the two prominent parties, are entirely in the hands or under the control of the mo- nopolists. Be this as it may, the evils complained of are too grave to bo trifled with, ignored or shoved one side, and if the present parties re- fuge or neglect to apply the correc- tive, another party will arise that will do it.
