EQUITY AND THE RAILROADS Tt has come to us that Blair and Fremont receive better rates and treatment than Omaha at the hands of the Towa pool, because they are not “pooling points” and Omaha is. Ts this right by any principle of commer- comity and equity?—Republican, When commercial comity and equity are ruling principles in railroad man- agement the monopolies will have no further use for su! zed newspapers 2| ¢ the Republican stamp. The dis- crimination which the organ of the Union Pacific charges has been prac- ticed by the Towa part against Omana is a feature of the poliey of the Union Pacific itself through- out its entire system, And the editorial pages of The Republican have time and again been pressed into the service to defend and excuse that policy when the producers of Ne- braska have protested against its disastrous operation. The combina- tion of the two great railroad corpora- tions of this state to pool earnings and maintain rates at all competitive points has found no opponent in The Republican which has suddenly dis- coyered that the same policy when practised by the Towa lines is contrary to every principle of ‘‘commercial comity and equity.” No candid person who has studied ington for a short visit to his constit- uents.

The greatest stimulus to mercantile business is competition. It is at the same time the chief pro- tection to the people who deal with our merchants. Competition itself, in every day commercial transactions, is regulated by the law of supply and demand. But the monopolies place themselves ‘above all laws. They strangle competition by consolidations of competing lines, or combinations of opposing interests, and enter into agreement to maintain rates in order to secure by a division of their plun- der a larger share of the spoils which they extort from the public, There is no such thing as ‘‘commercial com- ity” betweon the railroads and the people. - The relation has been that of the robber towards his victim, of organized brigands to helpless com- munities, And the only ‘“‘comity” recoganized by the monopoly managers has been that ‘‘comity” which haw yielded to the demands of other cor- porations in parcelling out territory in which they might ply unmolested by competition their outrageous system of legalized extortion. The railroad empire in this country has been built up and cemented by an entire disregard of the' principles which operate and maintain in com- mercial transactions. No merchant who would sell continually at a lower rate to one customer than to another could long continue in business after the practice was discovered. No merchant who made a practice of pur- chasing fayorable decisions from the courts when his business methods were called into question and boasted of his success in bribing courts and su- borning witnesses would be permitted to retain the public patronage. And no business men or private corpora- tions whioh persistently and defiantly violated their contracts could main- tain their standing in tho community. From the moment of their or- ganization the railroads have placed at defiance every principle of commercial equity and comity. Construction rings composed of their promoters filch the paid-up capital, and increase the indebtedness of the concerns, Of- ficors are paid salaries twice, three and | T four times the amount which individ- uals would pay for like services. Com- peting organizations are absorbed through achemes and devices to rob and defraud their owners'and when onoe secured they are ocapitalized at many times thelr value, and the siock parcelled out to the juanagers and their friends, - The most flagrant dis- oriminations, of whioh 'that eom- plained of by The Republican is only » single instance, are practiced in fa- vor of individuals and communities and against others. No business|P house in the world which committed such iniquities could stand for a year, It is the knowledge of these facts, » knowledge which has slowly dawned ugon the producers of this country, which is causing the universal demand for state and government regulation of the railways. Our highest courts have decided that diseriminations are contrary to publio policy and illegal, and that the aggrieved parties have their recourse at law. They have laid down the broad dootrine that the ser vice of the railroads must be impar- tially rendered to all patrons without favoritism for or against individuals, corporations or communities, In short, they have decided that the rail- roads must be governed by the same laws which rule in the transaction of private business, and have aflirmed the power of the people to make laws and provide adequate punishments in case of their infraction, The time has come when the people are determined that the test be made. They have no desire to crush out of existence the great system of railways which forms & net-work of steel all over the coun- try. They do not envy any accumu- lation of wealth which results from an honest and iwpartial railway manage- mnt. l."‘But ':'hum d‘hfl;inud '&h“ u rol and plunder, which has disgraced Z. opull":v.ion of corporate monopolies in this country THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, MAY 12 182 * shall cedss, and that ‘‘corporations, the creation of the state shall be con- trolled by the state,” and shorn of their unbridled powers to plunder at their own will and pleasure by extor- tionate charges, and outrageous dis- criminations, In other words they are resolved that principles of ‘‘com- mercial equity and comity” shall be forced down the throats of the monopolies if they refuse to take the wholesome dose in any other way. Sooxer or later railroads will learn that passengers have some rights which corporations are bound to re- spect. A suit has just been decided in New York in which one William Pease sued the Delaware, Lackawanna & Woestern railroad company for 85,000 damages for having been ejected from one of the company’s trains while a passenger from New York to Montelair, N, J., where he resides. The plaintiff testified on the trial that, desiring to go to New York, he purchased an excursion ticket at Montclair and handed it to the con- ducter upon the trip to New York, and that the conductor tore off one portion, handing back what remained. On the return trip he handed the conductor this part of the ticket, but the conductor refused to take it, say- ing it was a ticket for New York from Montolair, and infermed Mr. Pease ho must pay his fare. This Mr, Pease refused to do, and, when the train stopped at the atation beyond the Hudson river tunnel, the conductor, assisted by a brakemen and baggage- master, ejected the plaintiff from the train, inflicting severe bodily injury. ‘While they were about to put him off, but before they had done so, Mr. Pease offered to pay his fare. Judge Van Hoesen charged the jury that, if the plaintiff offered to pay his fare before he was removed from the train, the conductor was bound to receive it, and the ejection was an illegal act. The jury gave plaintiff a verdict for $3,000, to which the court added an allowance of b per cent. S—— Tuere is a general impression among Omaha merchants and taxpay- ers that true economy in paving in this city requires that none but dur- able material shall be used for paving purposes. Macadam has been tried in almost every city in the Missouri valley, and has proved a failure. Wood block is losing ground in public con- fidence wherever it is laid down. Stone block pavements of granite or Medina sandstone are the only pave- ments which have stood a long test for streets on which the traffic is heavy. In a number of cities Asphaltum black pavement has been introduced with good success. The value of the pavements depend very largely upon the care used in its manufacture, The subject of asphal- tum pavements is now being agitated in 8t. Louis, The Republican of that city has the following to say of some recent discoveries of asphaltum depos- its in Missouri as bearing upon the paving question: The increasing indications that the Barton county uYhulgum is a good quality of the real article will be wel- comed by everybody interested in the solution of the street paving question. The important part in making a good asphaltum pavement is to use liberally the best quality ot asphaltum, and most of the failures have resulted from the efforts to economize in this particular. A natural compound of asphaltum and rook from Val de Tro- vers is used in Paris, but in the Uni- ted States the only successful asphal- tum pavements have been made of idad asphaltum, This is is very expensive, however, and the cost has put serious limitations upon the wide use of pavements constructed of it. If, however, it shall turn out that the Barton county deposit, which is 80 near to us, isa good quality of the rtfint artiole, it should be feasible to deliver it in this city cheap enough to permit its free in street pave- ments, It is nll?:hnninod that no sort of asphaltum pavement will do on streets used by heavy wagons, but there are streets used only by iiah; vehicles where the asphaltum pave- ment in various forms could be used very great advantage, if not too ex- ensive, It will be better thana gold mine if the Barton count; posit realizes all that is promise de- A8 ANNOUNCED in yesterday's Brx improvements of a generous and sub- stantial nature are contemplated at Fort Omaha, which will greatly en- large the capaocity of the post and in- crease its importance as a military sta- tion, It is intended that the govern. ment purchase that portion of the res- ervation formerly leased for military purposes, that & number of new and permanent quarters be erected, and that provision be made for a full regi- ment of infantry, These contemplated improvements will require au expen- diture of $160,000 in Omaha daring the coming year. ee—— Firz Joun Porrenr’'s appeal to con- gress is the plea of a cruelly wronged man, confident of his integrity and the justice of his cause, The editor of Tae Bre was in a position in 1862 to understand just why and when General Pope was convinced that Fitz John Porter was a dangerbus and traitorous character, and he will shertly explain his reasons for urging that congress give a speedy hearing w0 the man who has been made the scape goat for the incompetency and pig- headedness of General Popa, whose headquarters was in the saddle all through the Mauassas camnpaign. THAT MARE'S NEST. There may or there may not be any wool in the howl of The Omaha Herald over what it calls the Platts- mouth land surveying steal. So far, not a particle of proof of any fraud has been shown. There is no evidence in the long-winded editorials of the democratic organ of Jay Gould that the government has lost a fdollar 1n the distribution of the surveying con- tracts in Nebraska, or that the work has not been done in accordance with the contracts as let by the surveyor general. It is a well-known fact that surveys of public lands are done by private contract under fixed appro- priations, These contracts are let through the surveyor general, the dis- trict in which the surveys are to be made, and the amount to be paid for the prosecution of the work being clearly ‘specified. The appropriation for the present year for the district of Towa and Nebraska was $20,000, which was to be expended in our own state. It makes no difference, so far as the government is concerned to whom the contracts are let, 80 long as they are taken by competent men, and are car- ried out in accordance with the terms of the contracts. 1t is of as little im- portance to the government who are partnors in the contracts, Few county surveyors are able -to provide the necessary outfit for a sur- vey without calling on outside parties and if they wish to share their profits with the men who furnish the ready money it is no one’s business. That they do so is certainly no evidence of freud, If Mr. Graham, having se- cured a contract to survey certain lands, chooses to divide his profits with Mr. Tefft that is his own concern. The interest of the government and the people is only jeopardized when itis shown that Mr. Graham has failed tosurvey in accordancewith the terms of his contract. Nor is it :ny’ eyidence of ‘‘fraud” on the part of Mr Graham that he happened to vote for Senator Van Wyck at the last legisla- ure. His vote probably made him neither more nor less able to fulfil his contract. This paper was the first to expose the gigantic steals in the sys- tem of public surveys in the state when $150,000 appropriated for the purpose went into the pockets of a gang of thieves against whom The Omaha Herald didn't dare to open its mouth, That celebrated ‘‘mean- dering of the Platte,” which cost the government $75,000, sand which was skilfully ma- nipulated by Chauncey Wiltse under the patronage of Senator Hitch- cock does not need to be recalled “to the recollecticn of Dr. Mller, who is now howling so loudly over the Platts- mouth mare’s nest. The frauds in the contracts under the old surveying ring consisted in the fact that the sur- veys were not made as required by law, and the contracts were violated at every point where a dollar could be gobbled by the Bos Cunningham gang. If Dr. Miller can furnish the proof that the present contracts are not being carried out in accordance with the terms of agreement between the land office and the contractors let him produce them and he will have a hearty support from every respectable journal in the state. In the absence of such proof he is pumping his paper full of wind, and doing himself no good. Tur Boston Btar is of the, opinion that the Peruvian investigation bears astrong resemblance to’ the almost forgotten Credit Mobelier sensation, Now as then everybody is innocent, dent, nobody remembers anything distinotly and when anybody does tell any news somebody contradicts him. Tre senate bill to open to settle- ment and entry s portion of ‘the mili- tary. reservation at Fi. Niobrara has passed. By & former act of congress the old reservation was largely ex- tended for the purpose of securing timber. Prior to the extension a number of settlers filed on the lands afterwards withdrawn from entry from the government. It appears that in extending the lines of the reservation a large area of upland useless for the purposes of the govern- ment was taken in including & num- ber of homesteads. The land is now released by the bill, and settlers will be allowed to perfect their titles. The bill is as follows: A BILL to restore certain portions of the Fort Niobrara mulitary reservation, in the state of Nebraska, to the public domain, and for other Skc. 1. That the of war be, and hereby is, directed to restore to custody, control and dispositionof the followirg described parcels and tracts of land vinbraced within the limits of the Furt Niobrara mili reserva- tion, in the state of Nel a, as de- clared in executive order of Dacember 10, 1879, and el by executive order of June 6, 1881, to wit: All of sections aumbered 29, 30, 31 and 32, and the west half of section numbered 33, all in township 34 north, of range numbered 27 west, and all &utp-n of section numbered 8, in township numbered 33 nerth, of range num- bered 27 west, within the said limits of the reservation, Sko, 2. That the secretary of the interior shall dispose of said tracts and reels of land under the public land aws in the same manner as if said tracts and had never been em- braced within the limits of said mili- tary reservation; and such persons as have settled or made improvements thereon prior to December 10, 1881, the secretary of the interior the | ple shall have priority of claim thereto under the public land laws: Provided, That they file their respective oclaims according to law at the proper land office within three months after the #anid lands become subject to disposi- tion under the public land laws.

Petitions have been presented in the senate from thirty-three states, asking that they do something in re- gard to the rates charged by railroads for passenger and freight transporta- tions, This alone is evidence that something ought to be done, and the time is near at hand when the people will not be overrun by the railroad monvpoly. In no part of the United States is this felt so strongly as in these western states, and, the voters should see that no man is chosen to assist in making the laws that govern them unless he be an anti-monopolist, on the side of the people and reform. — ‘Why is This Thus? Judge Agnew of Pennsylvania.

It \is no uncommon thing to see & railroad presi- , rising from the blest station, in the course of fifteen or twenty years, become the owner of $2,000,000, $10,000,000, or even ,000,! a which would not’ average for the whole time over $12,000. the common people cannot under- stand, E— The Old Game. Hashings Gazebte-Journal, The fight between the U. P. and the B. & M. railroad for congressmen and state officers has already begun. This is an old game and here is the trick. Neither of the parties care very much which succeeds, usually there is a compromise. In the success of either faction a railroad man is chosen and that is all they care about. This course is pursued to prevent the people from stepping in and choosing » man who is independent of railroads and who would owe his election to them rather than to corporations, Is it possible this year for the voters to be led into the old trick sud be deceived into appposing that they are having anything to ssy in regard to the selection of officers, either state or national? It is loudly predicted that one of the railroad companies is going to be able to ma- nipulate the Farmer's Alliance into a support of their men for office, on the ea that the oppolin%cmdidato is owned, body and soul, the other corporation. We finally beliove that the old trick wiil will not do for 1882, and that unless men who are free from the control of corporatione, are nominated for office there will be an ndependent movement that will make the old ringleaders and railroad poli- ticians tremble in their boots, KEven republican nomination will not save them. Let the glrty be wise and not go blindly into the jaws of death. em— Advertising Cheats.
