Tt is not to be expected that the couduct of any man however praiseworthy and pat- fiotic will command universal approval. Senator Van Wyck, who has achieved a national reputation in the halls of con- grosn as a featloss exponent of the rights of the industrial and producing classcs has very naturally given offense to the subsidized defenders of corporats monop: oly. These hireling bloodhoundsare constant- ly barking at his heels, but in their mad soal to run him down they often attack him where he is the least vulnerable. The Omaha Republican, which takes the lead for stupidity among Van Wyck's malignors, has reproduced an idiotic edi- torial from Lieutenant-governor Ageo's weekly organ, in which the senator is gravely charged with attempting to run the Union Pacific into the hands of a re ceiver. 1t is the opinion of the Hamilton coun- ty magpioe, reiterated by the Omaha par- rot, that Van Wyck's highest conception of right is to clevate Van Wyck, no mat- tor what it costs the people. Asaclincher the following tacts and figures aro pro- sented to Senator Van Wick's intelligent constituency* T'he U. 1. owes the governmeat over 500,000,000 Upon this they have been paying interest as it fell due, until Van Wyck announced his intention of ving thom into the handa of a_receiver since which time they have refused to pay interest; as of course they naturally would, for if they are to be crowded into a recoiver's hands they might as well go for a “‘sheep as a lamb” or in other words the less money they now pay the govern- ment the more they will have after the government has adjusted the matter. For an example, if the U. P. owes the government $300,000,000 upon which they are willing to pay the interest but could not pay the principal, and Van Wyck crowds them into the hands of a receiver, the matter would probably be sottlod upon a basie of fifteen or twenty per cent upon the dollar; but say the government was fortunate and got a settlement upon a basis of 33} per cent why the government would then bo the losor of $200,000,000, or in other words the U. P. will save the §200,000,000 thoy justly owe the government, just for the sake of giving Van vek a chance to show the dear people that he is an anti- monop. What a villainous compound of igno- rance and falsehood! Does the /2cpub- lican take its readers for a set of fools, or is its editor 8o reckless and indolent that he will quote as facts figures thatare absurd on their faco? The financial relations of the Union Pacific to the government are so well known, and its statistics have boen pub- lished 50 often, that every farmer and cowboy can almost quote them by heart The bonded debt of the Union Pacific, as originally chartered, who made Danver what she is,—for any- one of these institutions, we will make the trade. We will say nothing about the night-shirt at present. NorwITHSTANDING the party resolu- tions and platform planks agalnst the purchase of land in large tracts by for- eign syadicates, such purchases still con- tinue. An enormous ranch in Mexico has just been purchased for $1,000,000 by a syndicate of English and Scotch speculators, of whom Lord Tweedmouth is one, It extends over sixteen hundred quare miles, Tueke is cousiderable about the re- ward that Greeloy is likely to receive. Ho is now a lieutonant, and may bo pro- moted to a captaincy, but sucha roward will be inadequate to his services. Why not make him chief of the signal service bureau in place of General Hazan! (ireelay was once in the signal service, and would make an excellent chief of that dupartment. —_—— Tur: prohibition party is certainly mak- ing somo progress, In 1872 it cast 506 votes for its first presidental candidate, James Black, of Pensylyaunia, In 1876 its presidential vote was 9,522, and in 1880 it was 10,305, 1In 1881 the prohibi- tionists policd an azgregate voto of 30,- 000 at the various state elections, nearly 100,000 in 1882, and about 200,000 in 1683, (eorge Brooks, of Bazile Mills, is one of the ambitious young men of Nobraska, who are rapidly getting tothe front. Two ears ago he had a longing for senatorial onors, but was defeated in the conven- tion by Lieutenant Norris, and now he boba up serenely as s possiblo candidate for one of the vacant places to bo filled this fall.—Oxford Register, This is the kind of a man that the peo- ple of Nebraska have long been looking for and will delight to honor. They have nad dummies and straw men long enough, and they now want a man who can paint the state red from the Kansas line to the Niobrara. —_—— Neakvy every city in the country of upon which the government is an endorser, amounts to 27,230,662, Upon this dobt there was duo, on July1, OMATTA DAILY BEE--FRIDAY, JULY 25. 1884 bonded debt, unjust or unreasonablel Was not this the proper course to pursue in the public interest? Oould anything be more absurd than to charge Van Wyck with loaning the people two hundred millions when the whole debt of the Union Pacific, princi pal and interest, deducting what they have paid in money and transportatlon, is only about fifty millions? Is 1s not about time for Van Wyck's detractors to crawl into their kennels? A neceNt number of Bradstrect's gives somo interesting statistics in con- nection with the wheat outlook. The ostimate of tho New Yerk produce ex- change statistician places the wheat yield at 468,380,000 bushels, the calculation boing based on the average crops of the paat three years, and tho percentages of condition and prospects furnished by the bureau of agriculcure, increased average being taken into account. Another es- timate puts the coming crop at from 480,000,000 to 550,000,000, The crop of 1884 amounted to 420,000,000 bushels, and the harvest this year promises to largely excoed this. Dradstroet’s report com all the leading whoat states, except Michigan, are of the most encouraging character. Even the lower estimate of the New York produce exchange crodits the twenty-four winter wheat producing states and the Pacific states and terri- torios with 330,680,000 bushels, as against 204,490,000 bushels in 1883, As to epring wheat, Wieconsin, Minnesota, Towa, Nebraska, Dakota, and the New KEogland states are credited with 157, 700,000 bushels, against 125,709,000 bushels of tho last crop year. While the prospects of the crop in this country are all that is desirable, the outlook is not 8o clear across the ocean. According to Bradstreet's the average wheat yield of Europe is about 1,110,000,000 bushels, oqnal to only three-fourths of the actual demand. Advices from Great Britain, France, and (ermany are not favorable to an average crop, but on the other hand tho depression in the manufacturing in- dustries of those countries has reduced (ho capacity of tho people to buy bread or flour. Tho outlook from India, is for a smaller exportable surplus than during tho past crop year. The wheat crops of Austria and Roumania have been dam- aged to some extent, while Southern Itussia will have less wheat for export than was expected. Taking in view the situation at home and abroad, Brad- street's concludes that our fall export trade in breadstuffs will be characterized by a brisker movement and better prices. —— Tue board of education will be heart ily supported by the community in ila refusal to accept school buildings that are not constructed in accordance with the plans and spocifications. Quite apart from the question of what money the ¢ ntractor might pocket by failing to fur- nish the material and labor as specified in his contract, thero must bo au assur- 1883, $24,957,850.41, making a total of principal and interest, of $32.194,412.41. Upon this debt tho Union Pacific has paid §8,033,202.57 by transportation ser- vices, and the government has been com- pelled to pay $16,024,557.54, to meet tho intoreet accrued on its bonds. The total debt of the Union and Kansas Pacific railroad, is $33,639,612. The accrued in- terest thereon is $31,087,183 60, making s grand total of $64,620,0690 50, The total credit of the Union and Kansas Pacific for services pertormod and monoy paid into the treasury is $13,- 35,040.05. In other words the consoli- dated Union Pacific railway, as now or- ganizod, owes the government & fraction over twenty millions advanced by Uncle Sam to pay intorest on its bonds. Instead of being three hundred millions the bonded debt of the Union Pacific is ouly a fraction over $33,000,000,and the entire debt of the Union Pacific, Contral Pacific, Sioux City & Pacific, and Central brauch of tho Union Pa- cific, principal and accrued in- terest, oggregates $123,845.605.46. $0 much for tho fizures. Now as to the facts, The stupid as- sailants of Senator VanWyck chargo that the Union Pacific has been paying up its interest on its $300,000,000 debt, but VanWyck is trying to drive the road to the wall in spito of its prompt paymenta. 1t is well known every school boy in the land that the Pacific railroads had utterly failed to meet the interest on their debt until the Thurman act was passed, requiring them to pay into the treasury five per cent of their net earnings to meet a por- tion of their delinquent interest. The Pacific rallroads rosisted enforcement of the Thurman act until the supreme court decided against them which shows conclusively that they have nodesigu to pay even the intesest on their debt if they can help it. But the Thur- man act has been only partially co mplied with, and the Pacific roads have asked congress to extend their time and put off any pretensions now has cheap cabs, which are proving & great convenience. Omaha is now in shape to support a line of cheap cabs, as her principal streets are paved. A line of cabs runuing from the Union Pacific depot up Tenth street, and thence on Farnam end Douglas to Sixteenth, would undoubtedly pay. The routes could be eauly extended whenever ocvasion demands, The beauty of the cab is that it receives and lands the passenger on the sidewalk at any point, and not in the middle of the street as is dope by the street-car, The cab also can travel on streets upon which there is 1o sireet-car line, and can run to places which are not reached by the street cars, The man who has the enterprise to start a cheap cab line will receive a liboral pat- ronage, and will make money, Omaha s getting to be & big city, and cau easily support such an enterprise. the day of settlement for forly or fifty years, aftor their first mortgage comes due, It was this effort to stave off pay- ment of interest on its bonded debt while millions have been gobbl:d by Jay Gould and company as dividends on watered stock that impelled Senator Van Wyck to resent the effort of the ju- diciary committee of the senate to delay action on pending bills, which were de- signed to prevent tho diversion of Union Pacific earnings into stock dividends, s long s the interest on its bonded debt romains unpaid, Now, wherein can Senator Van Wyck's action be construed as an eifort to drive the Union Pacific into the hands of a veceiver? 'Waa the senator’s demand that no more stock dividends be declared by the Pacifie roads until they have paid back the money advanced bythe national treasury to meet the interest on thelr ance that our school buildings are safe. Our school houses must be substantially constructed and every precaution taken against possible accidents.

No larger corn crop has ever been raised in Iowa and Nebraska, and Kan, sas, which has had a succession of great crops, will this year produce 48,000,000 bushels of wheat, an excess of about 19,- 009,000 bushels over last year. 1llinoie, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Dakota and Missouri also report immenso crops, and advices from California show that that state will have the greatest harvest i her history.

The third district ought to be represented by & man ot brains, spotless integrity, and independent of all corporate influences. Cleveland's Record, Irish World, The supporters of the presidential can- didate whom the so-called ‘‘Independent republicans” forced upon the democratic party are trying hard to explain his vetoes of measures in which labor was interested. It is well known in New York that Governor Cleveland from the time he was elected determined to do all he could to establish for himself the reputation of being eminently ‘‘conser- vative” in the sense of doing nothing to earn the ill-will of the corporations, This fact must be kept tn mind 1n order to fully understand his policy in dealing with bills affecting the interests of the corporations. The vetoing of three bills, namely, the Five-Cent-Fare bill, the re- duction of the hours ef labor for the con- ductors and drivers on the horse cars, aud the Mechanica’ Lien bill, show clear- lhy_ the character of the policy adopted by im, In order that our readers who do not live in Now York may fully understand Oleveland's veto of the Five.Cent-Fare bill, 1t may be neceasary to state that the elovated railroads that traverse the oity ot New York charge each passenger ten cents except during certaln hours in the morning and evening. As much of the travel on the elovated roads is but for & very short distance, passengers going only & part of the route, their places be- ing taken by other passongers who are constantly getting on at the different sta- tions, it will be readily seen that with the ten-cont fare the elevated railroads rea- lize enormous profits, The legislature recognizing thefact that the peoplo of New York were being| taxed enormously by Jay Gould, Uyrvs | W. Field & Co., passed a bill reducing | the fare to five conta at all hours. This | mensure which is known as the five cent fare bill was adopted by an overwhelm- ing majority both in tho senate and the | ansembly, No one supposed that Gov. Cleveland would veto the bill in the face of such a majority, backed up as it was by & strong populat feeling. Bat Governor Oleveland, who was anx- ious to win favor with the corporations, thought he saw a chance of ingratiating himselt with them and hastened to do tho thing no one expected him to do. How important wan the service he ren- dored Jay Gould and Cyrus W. Field will bn understood when we state that ics show that nearly 97,000,000 peraons aro carried on the elevated rail- ronds every year, Conseqnently the voto socuring the railroads ten conts fare instead of five conts placed $4,850,000 annually in the ooffers of the elevated railroads that they would not receive had it not been for Governor Cleveland’s veto. 1t will bo seen, then, that the demo- cratic presidential candidate has giventhe corporations a very substantial proof that if ever, through their help, he gets into the white house-—and surely he has earn- ed the right to count on their help—he will not be negligent of their interests. The message accompanying the veto of the five cent fare bill was a strong plea in favor of the elevated railroads to con- tinue to tax the citizens of New York £5,000,000 annually, In this message Governor Cleveland put forth the start- ling doctrine that there was no constitu- tional power in ono legislature t> regu- late and abridge privileges granted by a preceding legislature, however opprassive those privileges had become. A former legislature had allowed tho elevated railroads to chargs ten cent fare until such time as tho roads earned ten per cent on the amount invested in their construction. It was well known that thostock was 8o watered that the eleva- ted railronds wero earning far wore than the stipulated 10 per cent. An examina- tion of the books would have shown this. Governor Cleveland, however, cared lit- tlo for that. He was anxious to show himself the friend of thecorporations and he chose to conslder theact of the legis- laturo allowing thom to charge the ten por cent fare in the nature of a constitu- tional prohibition of a reduction to five cents., He professed to believo that his signing the five cent bill would, be a vio- lation of the state comstitution. He dwelt at such length on this that one would b led to suppose that there were no courtsin New York to pass on the constitutionality of the bill if it had re- coived the govornor's signature, Governor Cleveland knew well enough that Jay Gould, Cyrus W. Field & Co. would appeal to tho courts if he signed the biil, and in that way there would be a chance for the proper tribunals to de- cide whether the legislature had violated the constitution in reducing the fare from ten to five cente. But this would cauge & certain amount of trouble and exponse to the corporations, which might in the end bo defeated in the courts. So, to save the costs of an ap- peal and to guard the corporations against the chances of boing defoated in the courts, Governor Cleveland vetoed the Five-Cent. Fare-Bill. Does not all this show that the demo- cratic candidate for the Presidency is the devoted servant of the corporationa? The bill reducing the hours of labor for the conductorsand driversof the ntreet cars was another good chance for Governor Cleveland to serve his friends the corporations, It is hardly necessary to say ; that he hastened to_embraco it. The conductors and drivers worked fif- teen hours a day, and the bill in question proposed redncing the hours to twelve Governor Cleveland again interposed with his veto on the ground that the legislsture had no right to interfere in this matter, The third veto was that of the ‘‘Me- chanics’ Lien Law,” which gave the work- ingman, in case of his employer’s failure, & prior claim for his wages on the assets of his bankrupt employer. The reason given by Governor Cloveland for vetoing this measure was that there was a possi- bility of its being used by lawyeis to their advantage. He was 8o exccedingly anxious that the workingmen should not be exposed to being cheated by lawyers in one case out of a hundred that he pro- forred that the employers should have the hundred chances of cheating work- ingmen out of their wages. Does not this show thas the democratic candidate for the presidency sympathizes with capital rather than with labor? We have shown you tho nature of the vetoes that have made Governor Cleve- land 80 obnoxious to the workingmen of New York, and now ask you, reader, in all candor can you support such 8 man for the highest oftice in the gift of the people? The three vetoes we have been spenking of prove beyond the shadow of a donbt that Governor Cleveland’s sym- pathies are not with labor. la the near fature the battle between corporations anp the people will have to be fought out. Imagine having such a man as Governor Cleveland in the presidential chair when this battle comes off. We should undoubtedly hear of his vetoing all legislation looking to the restoration to the people of the millions of acres stolen from them by the railroads. Can such a man be trusted to the position in which ‘the democratic party asks the workingmen to elevate him. BTATE JOTTINGS, Cedar conuty flax is twenty inches high.

Springfield Union. The naw one dollar bills, for printing which Congress made an appropriation just before adjournraent, will be ready *or circulation in the course of a month. The old ones have become offensively filthy and raggod, and so_many of thom have been retired that the cart wheel silver dollar has had an extensive em- ployment. Whatever theory of legal tender be adopted, there isno use in trying to force heavy coins into circula- tion. - Treasury notes have found a per- fectly legitimate function as tho every- day money of the people, and nothing elso 80 good has been devised for bills ot lees than five dollars. Had they baen deprived of their legal tender quality our whole monetary - systom would have been more secure, but that is a question entirely different from the advisability of using paper as & substitute for coin.” It is not necessary that the money of re- tail trade be a legal tender; if it be con- vertible into legal tender coin, dollar for dollar every purpose will bo served. The best system of money must be, for ressons too complex to be set forth ina paragraph, ono consisting of quite a va- riety of motes and coins. Gold coin would be the best legal tender. Treasu- ry notes are the best small money. Na- 1ional bank notes ure the best means of giving elasticity to the volume of money and for securing banking privileges to overy section of tho country. ~Silver certificates based on a silver dollar, made equal in metalic value to the gold dollar would bo the best means of utilizing sil- ver and economizing gold. But a protty freo circulation of coin among the people 18 also desirable, for coinso beld 18 the best auxiliary to the bank reserves. The fivedollar gold picce, which is not cum- bersome to carry, if made broader and thinner 80 as to be more readily distin- guished would meet this want admirably. If wo had one and two dollar treasury notes mot legal tender, but convertible | ;1. without loss into gold, a_ good five dollar gold coin but no treasury or bank notes of that denomination, bank notes of de- dominations not less than ten dollars, and silver certificates based on an honest measure of metal, whether coined or not of denominations not less than twenty dollars—the combination would meet practically every condition of conveni- ence, expediency and sound economic principle. How Jones Made His Money., Pittsburg Special to Philadelphia Timos, B. F. Jones, chairman of the national republican committee, owes his fortune to his shrewdnees in taking advantage of an accident. About thirty years ago, when the rolling will of his firm—then Jones & Lauth—could have stood on ¥ifth avenue without obstructing the pavement on either side, one of the work- men got s heavy tongs, weighing about fifty pounds, fast to s bar of hot iron. The bar was already in the jaws of the rapidly whirling rolls, Thero was no time to release the tongs, and they went through the rolls under ponderous pressuro. Instead of being crushed and broken they came out at the other side flattened out of shape, no more uso a8 tongs, bat a bar of won of a high polish and changed in texture, The firm made no fuss about it, but had & quiev consultation among them- selves. They set to work analyzing and experimenting., The result was that in- stead of a discharge tho workman who let the tongve go through cold gota |y bonus fof $20,000, and instead jof the |; little one-horso rolling mill the present immenso plant_was constructed, It is valued at £7,000,000. It makes cold rolled iron under an exclusive patont at an immense profit, and the long head of the lucky firm, who was to-dsy made chairman of the republican national committee, is & millionaire about ten times over. At the time the tongs got fast he kept the books and his partner looked after the mill. Mr, Lauth retired from the firm some years agc, and when the patent on the cold-rolled process was reissued re- ceived $100,000 from the new firm for his share of it. —— Durkee's Salid dressing 1s the best thing of the kind ever sold.
