THE BEE PUBLISBING CO., Preps, E. ROSEWATER, Ebrror, itch, Manager Daily Circulation, ? |neveral lines of rallro JACK OF ALL TRADES. The Cheyenne Sun expresses the opla- fon that the Unlon Paclfic bas altogether too many irons In the fire, and that it oan attribute many of Its troubles, and particularly the Rock Springs riot, to ita attempt to run too many branches of business besides raflroading. Any one acquainted with the facts will at once ad- mit that the Sun is eminently correot. The Unlon Pacific, besides conduoting 1s engaged In miolng coal at Oarbon, Rock Springs and Alma In Wycming, and also at seversl points In Idsho and Colorado; 1t pract!- oally carrles on a merchandlsing trade, to the excluslon of other traders, at its min. ing towns; It is a desler In coal through. out the country west of the Miseourl river; 1t s developlng soda beds near Laramle; it Is running the hotel business along Its entirs system; It lsinterested in 12 2 AN i e, A o numerous grain elevators and controls the grain trade of a large portion of Ne: brasks, besldes being Interested In various other enterprises and schemes, none of which are permlitted or Intended under the charter to be carried on by the rallroad company. The wonder is that the company has not undertaken to be- come a ocattle-ralser and to monopolize this buslness, as it has other industrles wherever Ite lines run. When the Unlon Pacific company drops all these outelde ventures and turns Its at- tentlon strictly to the business cof rall- roading, for which purpose it was incor- porated and chartered, and for no other, it will have lees trouble and make more money, The ccuntry through which ita Jinesrun has not been developed owlng to the fact that it has monopolized every thing and shat out competition. If 1t would only permit competition, Wyom- Ing’s vast minorsl resources would soon be developed by outside capits], and the territory would in a few years become & s2cond Penneylvania, and furnish to the Unlon Pacific ten or twenty times more trafic than 1t oan ever hope to secure undor the present depressing system of monopoly. So long as the Unfon Paclfic retuses to glve onteide cap- ital and compotition a chance eo long will Wyoming remain an undeveloped reglon, and the raflroad compsny will have to pursue the same old narrow pollcy of at. tempting to build up a business from 1ts own Immediate resourcee. 1t may be said that these outelde in- dustrles are not carrled on by the railroad company but by contractors, but, in the language of the Cheyenns Sun, ‘“‘when the businees Is inspected it will appear that the Unlon Pacihc is represented by an officlal in the actlve mansgement; its railrosd and cars are always at the service Tae Un'on Paclfio Is jack of all teades and master of none. We are still walting for Morton’s pen pleture of Dr. Miller, A saur mine s among the latest dls- coverles In Wyoming. It is altogether a different thing from a salted mine. SUNSHINE has come at last, and with 1t comes a crowd of visitors from all parts of the state to attend the Omaha expo- altion, Tar most Interesting feature of to- day's cablnot mesting will be the recital by the president of hls best fish story, which he has rehearsed and reserved for shls occasion, THERE wos never a better field of race horzen seen in Nebraska than that now at tho Omaha exposition, The races to- doy and to-morrow are well worth wit- neseing, Everybody eheuld turn out, Everysopy who takes any pride in Omaha shoald go to the exponition and contribute to its success in every pos- sible way. If this exposition proves a succers, we can count on something on & more extensive scale esch eucueeding yeoar. A Cuicaco editor, who fs visitlng In San Fraoclsco, has baen tolling the Oall- fornlans that they ought to glye more at- tentlon to frrigation. If there is any- body who ought to know all about irriga- tlon it Is an editor from Chicago. — Ix the race for the international cham- pionshlp cup the Puritan, which was mwaking beiter tlme than the Genesta, fouled her rival, causing a postponement of the contractor at nominal figures, and, of the contest, Had it not been for the foul the Paritan would probably have won the first heat, but thers's many a alip between the cup and the lip, PromIpITION in Kansas is pronoanced as much a failure as it {sin Iowa. That 1t does not prohiblt the sale of liquor In Kansas is shown by the fact that the col. lector of interual revenue has issued 1895 llquor licenses under the federal laws. Leavenworth saloon-keepers took out 210 of these llconses; those of Dodge Olty 121; Atohlson, 83; Topeks, 57; Wichita, 56; Wyandotte, 30; and 85 on throughcut the entire state. The Leavenworth brewery eold 1,354 barrels of beer dar- ing the month of July; the brewery at Atchison sold 325 barrels; that at Topeka sold 136 barrels; at Lawrence 295; Fort Scott, 141, and Wichita 29. No reve- nue whatever Is belng derlved by the cltlos and towns from the sale of lquor, ‘which shows that prohibltion In K ‘means “free whisky.” Union Paciric stock declined more than any other last week, and its affairs are the subject of considerable discueslon in Wall street. Mr., Charles Francls Adsms, who was in New York on a visit, donied that he was there for the purpose of placing loans which Boston banks re— fuse to renew. He ssid ‘‘the notssim- medlately matoring are all emall, and after moeting its September fixed charges the company hss $1,000,000 in cash on hand. Itis cffsrlog to buy up its own notes st a throe per cent rate,” This statement leads the New York /Zerald to pertloently remark: ‘‘As the company 1s underatood to be paying five per cent on money borrowed on call, It Is suggest- substantlally, whatever [profit there Is to be obtulned from the business, the Union Paclfic, to use an expressiveslang phrase, otands in with.,” The Sun concludes its vigorous protest agalnst the Jack-of-all- trades system as follows: Tt the Union Pacific company will turn its attention and its finances toward the running of ita cars and givo reasonable rates, plenty of enterprisicg men will be found to load them. With the Oarbon, Rock Springs and Alma coal mines in the hands of individuals or pri- vate corporations, better coal would be dug and supplied to Wyoming and Nobraska, and white men would be hired to do the work, With the eating houses in the hands of private corporations or individuals, a great deal better food would bs furnished to the traveling public, the pretentions of the Pa- cific hotel company to the contrary, notwith. standing, With a general encouragement of private enterprice all along the line there would be more people and more industry in Wyoming territory. The railroad will get more money for freight aud there will bs no room for Chinese or any other form of contract labor, This cannot be done next week, psrhaps not bafore next year; but if the present manage- ment of the Union Pacific company will commence to endeavor to do it, the feeliog will not prevall th ough the western and central part of Wyoming that what the company doesn’t want lsn't worth having. THE EXPOSITION, The probabllitles are that the weather to-morrow will be warm and pleasant and In every way favorable for the Omaha exposltion. Inthat event it certalnly ought to be made a big dsy in Omaha. The exposltion Is in every wey a suc- ce's 30 far as the number, varlety and character of the exhiblts are concerned. No better or moro extenzive dleplsy has ever been seen in Nebraska. We do not Lesltate to state that it hss never been ed thata portlon of the milllon dollars cash might be most profitably used in eaving this five per cent.” Tue Ohlesgo Herald maintalns that there wlll be no congresslonal Inqulry into the Rock Springs massacre, simply be- cauge the politiclans will not care tospend any tlme on the Chinese as they have no votes, We think that the Herald will We feel certain that a thorough Investigation will be to- gother wlith tho joauses that led to i, find itself mlistaken, made of that lamentable sffalr, with a view of putting the responsibility where it belongs, s largely responsible, we limo asturance to call on the government to assls: {t In malntainlog an attitude In- Imlcal to Amerlcan labor, namen is oue thing, and perfectly proper, but the attempt to defy the white miners Chinese au- quealons to reslst the cheap labor other thlog.

This Is the first of the annual expositiona to be held in Omaha, and the people of this clty have a good deal at stake in mak- ing lta succers financlally, The man- hava done thelr duty, now let the people of Omaha do thefrs. They can make the exposition a financlal sucoess by simply {uralrg out en masse for one dsy. To.morrow s the big day.

Let the business hcutes, the banks, the offices, and the thops be closed during the afternoon, and let everybody go to the fair grounde, Nicuoras M, Bery, superintendent of for.1:n malls, owes hls position to the fact that he was the readiog clerk of the nationsl democratic convention.

Tar startling prevalence of emsll-pox in and around Montreal is accounted for by the faot that the French Canadians, elther through Ignorance or superstition, ara vlolently opposed to vaccination. On Friday last the workmen In the Montreal fron mills strack and quit work rather than comply with the order of their em- ployers that they must be vacolnated, while In another factory onb hundred French Oanadians qult for the same reaton. Tho dlsease will not be checked unless it {s by vaccination, and the Intelll- gent people of the clty are endeavoring In every way possible to convince the ignor- ant French Canadlans ¢f the benefit of this operation. On Sunday the Roman Oatholic blshop urged them to be vac- cloeted, and this advice coming from such a source will probably be heeded by alarge number. 8o far the emall-pox mortality has been equal to that of cholera. There were nesrly 300 deaths in Auguet, and the number steadlly In- creaass from week to week. Daring the woek ending last Saturday there were over 100 deaths, Azour a yoar ago the night edltor of the Washington Post, in order to obtaln materlal for an arilele on the civil tervica commission, wert before the board of examination tcgether with a number of applicants for posltions, Not being a real applicant himself, he thought nothing more of the matter after the examination was over, He was therefore considerably curprised, a fow dzys ago, upon recsiving anotice that a §000 clerkship was at his dispoeal. 1t s sta‘ed that he will eccept it,as ‘'it Is far in advanca of his ealary on the Post.” We take it that Washington editors get absub ten dollarsa week— certalnly not a very princely salary. ‘Washington is a pretly good place fcr newspaper men to keep awsy from, fEue8 TaE varlous tarifftinkers are begin- ning to prepare bills for prezentaticn to congress. Abe Howltt is credited with preparing a bill, which, it s claimed, will meet the approval and support of Car- lisle. If thls {s true the question arises as to what will become of Hor!zontal Bill Morrison’s pet scheme? We venture to say that there will be a long-drawn-out fight on the tariff preblem durlng the next semion of congres, and we would not be surprised if no satlsfactory result 1s reached. J. StERLING MorTON has been Invited to stump Towa in behalf of the democracy of that state, and the Herald artlst stralghtway commends him to the bour- bons of our slater commonweslth in very complimentary terms, Dr. Mliller ssys that *‘he s strong aud attractive as a popular orator, and he will be sure to make things both lively and interesting for the republicans of Iowa.” In other words, Morton in Iowa is all right, but Morton in Nebraska Is all wrong. Hicu rents are the principal obstacle in the way of Omaha becoming a grest manufacturing center. Living is chesper here thanin any eastorn city, and It could be made a grest deal cheaper than it is at present If we had a market where the consumer and the producer could deal directly, It is the middleman that cautes high prices.
