L BEE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28 THE DAILY e THE RAILWAY WAR AND POOLING. The fight botween the railroads in the northwest is drawing to a oclose. It has boen a short and bitter one. Both passenger and freight rates have been liberally cut from St. Panl, Min- neapolis and Chicago, and the war has even extended to several minor pointe on the Missouri river, The whole diffisulty is & good example of one of the cortain results of the pool- ing 'policy now practiced so generally by the railroads at competing points, The fight arose from the demand of the Rock Island's new road, to be admitted on equal terms to a pool with the two other roads which, until recently, had a monopoly of the business. The conoessions of the Milwaukee and the Northwestern to the Rook Island were not satisfactory to that company, and upon their demand of a full third share in the businoss being refused, it at once put prices at a point where all three must be rained if they are con- tinued, with the object of foroing the other roads to terms. The fight has continued for over two weeks, and tho managers are ready to cry a halt and arbitrate differences. In a fow days a truce will, in all likelihood, be patched up on a new basis of friendship con- cocted, and the Rock Tsland will be admitted to a larger share in the northwestern business than the two roads were at first disposed to concede it. Rates will again be restored, per- haps increased, and the public will of course pay in the long run for the losses of the belligerant corporations. Itis a serious question whether available for short correspondence, but ite use s likely to prove greater than either its inventor or the post- master genoral anticipates. — Tar sonual banquet of the Omaha stenographers, draws attentisn to the increasing demand in all quarters for exporienced shorl-hand reporters and olerks, Six years ago only two stenographers wero located in our city, Mr. John T. Bell, the present reporter of the district court, and Mr, Homer Stull, recontly reporter for the United States coarts. There are now nearly thirty short-hand reporters in Omaha, of whom twenty are employed In the railroad offices of our cily, and the demand always exceeds the sap- ply. Ten years ago a stenog- rapher outside of the attaches of the press was a rarity. Modern business activity has revolutionized the slow methods of the past. The increasing use of the malls and tele- graph and the consotidation of smaller business concerns into large establis ments have called into existence hun- drods of clerks to whom a knowledge of shorthand has brought eteady and well pald employment. Every great corporation now counts its scores of phonographers, who enable heads of departments to transact with ease in two or three hours ten times the amount of business which some years ago would have been con- sidered a good day's work.

Two THiRDs of the defeated mem- bers of congress aro politically dead, and they know it. Several of the senators will also retire to private life with tho clore of the present session, A veteran lobbyist mestions these facts, aud prediots that the coming session will be one of riot aud revelry for the lobby. He prophecies that these retiring statesmen will pay lees attention to the business of the coun- try thau to their own private affairs, and that money will flow freely into their pockets us they advocate bogua ciaims aud aenist in roshing through varidus bighly flavored raids on the treusury, There is probably more trath than fiction in the prediction. The coming winter will bs a busy one for the Washington lobby. Hipple Mitchell will put io bis rotiring .icks for the Northern Pacific. Robeson will make another energetic attempt, backed by Jchn Roach, to secure the expenditure of s fow more millions on tho rotting hulks ia the League Island navy yerd, A score of politically dead copgressmen will franticslly at- tempt to push forward business on the private oalendar and Saline and swamp land schewes will bob serenely on the surface like Ohio apples in & tub of water, The consciences of the retiring statosmen will not be sensi- tive to means and methods, but their pockets will be keenly sensitive to the seduoctive touch of the lobbyist. They have faced defeat at the polls and many of them will face dishonor in the congressional corridors before they leave the capltal to make room for their successors. It will be a pood session for the people to watoh the votes of thoir senators aud represen- tatives. i cpedited leglalation of » suspicious n« ure will bear the dissec- tion, THE census bureau has published an interesting table of statistios showing the capital Invested 1n manufaotures, the number of hands employed, the amount of wages paid, the value of materials used and the value ot the products for all the establishments of manufacturing industry in each of the States and territories, New York loads the liet of states with 42,739 es- tablishments, followed by Pennsylva- nia with 31,226, Nebraska is credit. ed with 1,403 inanufacturing indus tries in which $4,881,150 of capital is invested. These establishments give employment to 4,464 men, 120 women and 209 children and youths, The total amount paid in wages for the year is etated to be $1,742,311, or on average of §1.13 a day. These figures are probubly slightly below the mark, Over eight millions of dollars worth of materlal were con- sumed, and more that 12,600,000 of manufactured articles produced. This is an oxcellent showing for a state only fourteon years old, It surpassos that of three of the southern states, and soarcely falls behind soveral of more than double its population, ——— A naIp upon congress by the en velope manufactorers may ba confi- dently expeoted at tho next seesion, The postmaster'general hes concluded a with contract Mr, Ehrlich,of 8t.

ProMINENT merchants and manu- facturers in Germany have started a movement for the foundation of Ger- man colenies. Tho first meeting will be held at Frankfort.on-the-Rhine on the Gth of Descember. The main- spring of this scheme is a desire to build up foreign commerce through theee colonies as England has done through hers. The Germans are disposed to found in- dependent colonies of thelr own on the English plan, but where is not stated, Bismarck 18 said to be opposed to the colonial scheme, but the popular fecling in Germany is very wuch in favor of it, and is rap idly growivg. Evidently the purpose is to found these colonies in some part of the world where they could become provicees of Germany. The problem will be to find & spot roomy enough for such a scheme that is not already under somebody's flag. —— Tue Council Bluffs board of trade sheot is manufactured with gummed flaps, which, when the sheet is folded Isp over the open edges and secure the letter, The postago atamp is em bossed on one of these flaps, thus bringing the stamp on the back of the letter, where the old wrapper and seal used to be.

That sum makes a per capita contributiou of over §11 for every man, women and child living in this country. The British Crown costs the United Kingdom about four centa per capita a year.

Presidential Probablilities. Utiea (N, Y.) Herald. Tho New York Sun, by way of en- couraging the democrats upon the pro- bability of the election of their candi- date for president in 1884, prints a table showing how the electoral votes will stand, if all the states vote in that year as they have voted in the recent election, The table has historic value, and we therefore publish It: DEMOCBATIC ELKCTORAL VOTKS, Kentucky. Pennsylvania Louisians . 8 Bouth Carolina. Maryland. 6 Tennesseo, Massr chusett 14 New Hampshire, Oregon,........ Rhode Island... SUMMARY, Total electoral votes. Majority Dewmocratic electoral votes Lepublican electoral votes. . There is something besides a his- torical value to this table, Its figures are full of prmise for a republican vic- tory in 1884. Let ua subject it to a bit of analysis, Nobody doubts that with a proper caadidate, properly nominsted, on a ringing platform of advanced republicanism, the republi- can party can carry in 1884 the states of Ohio, Penusylvania, Michigan and Maessachusetts, which are here as- signed to the Democcratic columu, Between them, under the new appoint- ment, which the SBuu uses as the basia of caleulation, theso four states will possess eighty votes in the noxt elec- toral college. Sublracting theeso eighty votes from the democratic col- umn, the totals are changed to 218 democratic votes and 183 republian votes, Under like circumstancee, the re publicans will have, at least, an even chance in the states of Indiana, Con necticut, and, as the late election there siows, North Carolina, Sub- stracting the thirty-three votes of these three states from the column in which they appear above and adding them to the other, we find the posi- tions of the two political parties re- versed, the republicans having 216 votes and the democrats 185, 201 be- ing a msjority of the college. Notice further, shat'the republicins ¢ either of theso three ata‘es, gai the other two, and still have a major- ity in the college. This is giving New Xork, Nevada, Californis and New Jersey to the demoorata—in every oneof which states the repablicans can win a viotory in 1684, if they pre- viously prove that they deserve to win it. On the whole, the outlook is not 80 discouraging as some of the good people who thought before the election that everything depended on the suc- oeas of Judgogl‘olgar would have us belleve. The reappointment has made it possible to elect a republican presi- dent without the aid of New York’s thisty six votes. On the other hand, the defeat of Judge Folger, accom- plished a8 it was, has made it possible to control there thirty-six New York votes for the right kind of republican presidential candidate, 47:>_ most convivial spirits in Kentucky, and is described lorid, portly Southern mav, with a stubble, gray mustache, a hat puched knowingly over his left eye, with a comical look, mingled with such shrewd. ness as tells the poorest reader of charac- ter that he ia a born wit.
