Stanton, It is untrue that Secretary Stanton handled any dispatches that passed through the war department, except such as were directed to him. He could not have done so, even had he been disposed tn, because it would have taken from five to ten hours a day, when he often had not time enough for meals and seldomsufficient time tor sleep. The war department archives doubt- less contain the lotter press books in which all dispatches for Edwin M. Stanton were copied.

Stager. This censorship was mainly confined to the suppression of contra- band news telegraphed to the prees from the various military camps. It was frequently important that such news should not be made public, be- cause the papers were liable to post the rebels about the position and eon- dition of our armies. But even if Secretary Stanton had been in the habit of reading all the dispatches handled in the war depart- ment he never could have seen the al- mob” at a distance.

That this city has been quiet and orderly in the face of the most outrageous provoca- tions to breaches of the peace is the strongest testimony to the folly and worse than childishness which is re- sponsible for the reputation given Omaha abroad in connection with the labor troubles in this city, Five thousand Omaha workingmen followed the remainw of George Arm- strong to the grave yesterday in peace- ful and impressive procession and then dispersed quietly to their homes with- out noise or disorder, despite the fears of orack-brained editors and spineless authorities. We vonture the asser- tion that no city in the country can show such an intelligent and law- abiding body of workingmen as those that yesterday paid the last sad rites to a dead comrade.

FARMERS in the United States have $12,210,263,316 of capital invested in their business. Of this amount the the value of farms is placed at $10,- 196,890,645, farm implementd at $408,5616,902, live stock $5600,482,- 187, fertilizer 28,687,866, und fonces at $77,765,723. From this enormous sum it is estimated that mnearly one hundred millions of dollars is annually collected iu taxation for the support of the local and national governments and purposes of education. These are the roal producers of the country, the back-bone of the nation’s wealth and prosperity. ‘Lhey are the only class who have not allied themselves together in times past for the protec- tion of their calling and safety of their property interests against nostile leg- wlation and corporate agression. Every movement in this direction has been denounced as demagogism and a usurpation of a field to which our pro- ducers have no right. Monopolies have plundered them withont mercy. Corporations have pooled their private interest and combined to carry on hirelings have sought to convey con. cerning the course of this paper in their effort to pleaso their master and owner. We defy them to quote a single sentence that has appeared in Tre Ber during the past two weeks that incites violence, or defends riot and mob rule. We defy them to quote a single sentence uttered by Rosewater anywhere since the labor troubles that would encourage incen- diarism, violence or lawlessness. If these impudent imposters simply sought to make capital with Sidney Dillon by pointing to their own course we shouid not demur, hut when they resort to libels and slan- der we shall not tamely submit. Ir is understood that the commit- tee on military affairs propose to compromise the compulsory retire- ment question by inserting a clause in the army bill, declaring that after an officer becomes sixty-two years of age he shall receive only the pay of a retired officer even if he remains in the -active service. This is a half way and unsatisfactory method of dealing with the problem. It will certainly fail to produce the desired end of doing away with the stagna- tion in the service, while will it reduce the pay of officers at a time of life when continued service should: merit, if any change is made, a change towards incressed compensation, Compulsory retirement would make their organizsd robbery against the wealth producers of the nation, and their victims have been "coely told that politics was a branch of business which lay entirely out of their line, and that legislation ought to be dele- gated to the men who were in the pay of the corporations and whose voices and votes have invariably been found on the side of the monopolies and their man- agers, The farmers' alliance is the reply of Nebraska to these patriotic and unselfish gentlemen. It proposes tomake the capital invested by Ne- braska producers speak as loudly as that wrung from the people by the cowmon carriers, It intends to show the monopolies that the votes of the farmers carry just us much weight as the votes of the tools of the railroads, and it proposes to make the corpora- tions bear their share of a burden of taxation which is now shifted upon | the shoulders of the producing classes, More than all it has for its objeot the securing of such laws as will make it forever impossible for the mon- opolies to filoh from the pockets of our people unlawful and unjust sums for transportation purposes, and to purify our state government from the unholy influence of monopoly threats and monopoly brihes Omana is full of panie and “‘sassy” laborers, wh Lave o interfered with th r ral road work in whici they were em- ployed. The president has ordered the state militia to the city, and the troops are now on the ground. Why the governor of Novraska is powerless to quell a riot is hard to see. —Buffalo Express, The governor of Nebraska was not powerless to quell the so-called riot, He made no attempt to iassert the suthority of the state before calling upon the national government for pro- tection.

This plan of cashiering an offi- cer because he prefers to remain in the service when not compelled to rc- tire is little less than an insult. We hope that the measure will be defeated and replaced by the bill which has re- oceived the endorsement of nine-tenths of thearmy throughout the country, a1d which will place that branch of the sorvicé on the same footing in regard to promotions as the navy. DuriNg the rebellion George L. Miller was a cowardly Copperhead in avowed sympatay with treason and rebellion, always cursing and villify- ing loyal soldiers, but never willing to risk his carcass in defense of the cause which he pretended to espouse. After the war this same rebel sympa- thizer never ceased prating about mil- itary despotism in the south and the invasion of sacred rights by armed hirelings. Now this disloyal sneak is clammoring for militacy rule and trampling under ‘footeivil rights in the city of Omaha. — RAILWAY NOTFS, The Northern Pacific, Chicago & North- western and Milwaukee will do a gre: deal of work in Dakota the present s son.

The sensation caused by the lave discharge of B. & M. eonductors is still fresh in the public mind. It ! wasn't a ciroumstance, however, to the cleaning out of the Union Pacific ticket punchers announced yesterday. On last August five detectives from New York were sent out by parties in the east who were interested in the road, and have been ever since that time spotting the conductors on the line nlflhe way from Omaha to Og- den and including the Denver and other branches. It appears that some time ago a regulation was adopted requiring all 000 in" value, are at present running on [conductors upon collecting a cash foreign roads, The English people were slow -0 adopt new things, but since Pull- man cars were put on the Midlwd railroad in 1873, at the solicitation of the genera) manager, there has been an increasing de- mand for them, They are now running on the Midland, the Great Northern, th British, the London, Brighton and South Coust, and on the East India mail route between Bolofm and Brindisi.

An important suit has just been settled in Wisconsin, growing o1t of the destruc- tion of property by sparks frou. locomo- tives, The suits aggregated $200,000, and the amount awarded was $4,000. The apecial muster appointed by the court dis- criminates between fires caused by sparks from the smokestacks and fires caused by coals dropping from the ashpan or ga'e of the locomotive. He deaws the distinction in deference to the opinion of the State|Su- preme Court that in the former case there is a presumption that the smoke. staks were defective, while in the latter ‘case thereis no presumption, the danger of fires being caused from coals dropping from the ashpans or grates beiog a danger mnecessarily incidental to the runuing of the engine.

It is claimed that the Union Pacific officials were not as to this regulation, it being held in some of the depart- ments that it was not a proper thing to do, and in others that it was and must be adhered to. The latter party apparently prevailed, but the conductors knowing of the differ- ences did not comply strictly to the rule, as they wouli otherwise have done. In many instances no checks were given, although at the same time the farce was reported in to the company. The drawback ticket was adopted as a check upon the obsolete practice of ‘‘knocking down” fares on the company, and these detectives S | when they spotted a man who did not comply mwith the regulations at once set him down for a thief and put him on the black list. This list swelled in size until it contained one hundred and sixty-five names. The first intimation of trouble was when a few days since General Super- intendent Clark made a trip out on the line, probably to prepare the divisien superintendents for the com- ing storm. He was observed by one of the employes to have a long roll of paper covered with names, and an ac- cidental glimpse of the page showed that the names were those of conduc- tors only. A word or two of a subse- quent conversation between Clark and another official was overheard, which gave the thing away, though not in “all in its overshadowing vastne:s,” Yesterday the boardsin the train dis- patcher's offices along the line, on which the name of the conductor of each outgoing train is daily written, opposite the train number, presented an unusual appearance, there being a double instead of a single column of names, Opposite the name of each conductor *‘a new name” was written, according to scriptural prophesy. Gradually the truth all came out as the new men went out one by one and the old men were left. There are 1656 in all black listed. This includes every passenger con- ductor running out of Omaha with the exception of a few who have been taking a lay off and do not know their fate yet. Among those thus excepted are Duncan, Anderson, Bradford and one or two others. It is claimed they ave on the list with the rest. On this division out of twenty-eight conduc- tors, freight and passenger, but two positive exceptionsare kuown. These are . J. Pratt and M. B. Cowin. Of thoge running out from Grand Island all must go but Wm. Southerland and Frank Huntoon, both freight conduc- tors, It is reported that all the men on the Mountain division and' Julesburg branch go, except Charles Dickinson, a brother-in-law of Superintendent Bcb Law, and a passenger conducter. The vacant places are being filled with men from the U. P. headquarters and with imported men, while of course many of the brakemen are be- ing advanced and placed in charge of freight and passenger crews. A well known passenger conductor says that many of these men know absolutely nothing about the running of trains and that the safety of trains and pas- sengers will now depend entirely on the engineers, They will, however, stand by the company, and no danger is appre- hended. The old conductors are making no kick at all, but will hunt jobs elsewhere at once. They feel that they have been wronged, but do not lay it to the general officers here, of whom they speak in the highest terms to a man. They say the atfair would never occurred in & busy sea- son, but that travel is light and th eastern stockholders thought they would try the experience. ALMOST CRAZY.
