The entire vote of New ‘'ork city is connted and the result an- mounced in from two to three hours after tho closing of the polls, he votes are counted every hour, or whenever a ce tain number of votes are cast, and in this way the counters are only an hour or two behind when the election closes.

Such an accidont is not only a serious fmpedimont to the active operation of Mmany manufactaring establishinonts which depend on the water works for their water supply, but it is likely to re- sult in great disaster and sorious loss in case of fire.

The Pennsylvania and ew Y ork Cen ral railroad managers intimate that the 11 be obliged shortly to take off’ tl fast express trains between New York and Chicugo, and to return to their old schedule of thirty-six hours time from seaboard to the lakes. The reason ned for this move is that the trains ve not paid, although the public have libeeally patronized the inereased facili- ties for rapid and comfortable travel.

Something or somcbody must have paid handsomely in order to roll up this round millions of prolits, which in spite of the better accommodations of fust traing are rcturning dividends of from twenty to forty per cent an- nually on the actual investment of these reat corporations. The explanation of the railroad man- agers for removing the fast trains is high- y refreshing.

They are very likely to inquire if b pric i think of reducing exorbitant saluries or of cutting off ofticial perquisites for the ben- eiit of stockholders. After every deal in h the Vanderbilts and Goulds in- se their dishonest wealth by creat- millions of dollars of fictitious cap- ital, on which the public must pay divi- dends, astreak of economy atthe expense of the railrond patrons is at once an- nounced, Trains ure withdrawa, vepair shops are closed down, railway stock is allowed to deteriorate and parsimonious management on the part of oflicials and at the expense of the public alone is counted upon to make up the deficit, 1t is timo that some higher power than the greed and honest personul inter: i anagers should deter- mine the relations of the railvoads to the public. Railrond commissions have proved and must always be valueless in curbing the sions of inter-state lines. The great combinations of cap- italists which now control mighty sys- tems, whose fingers reach outinto u scove of states, are largely beyond the control of state laws. Nothing but national n can deal with a national prob- lem. The people of the wost, who Laye 50 loug been at the mercey of .these cor- poration cormorants, are uniting with those of the cust to demand that con- gress shall give them a velicf which tl cannot seeure clsewher To secure t end the United S te must be re deemed from the hands of the corpors attorneys and millionaire lobbyists, who are prostituting their saered trast to fasten more strongly the fetters on the hands of the people of this country. Such cconomy s the railroads are now practicing at the expense of their patrons will sooner or later prove fatal to the continuance of the present methods of railroad extortions. The antagonismn which it1s bound to awaken, will before long make themselves powerfully feltat the polls and in the legislature, by driv- ng from their seats the senatorial too's and cappers who ure turning a deaf eur to the popular demands. nggre ates ser ‘Tuk policy of the goverament and the foar of udverss legislation are forcing the great land grant rouds to dispose of their | ke | whic THE OMAHA DAILY BE Cuion lands as rapidly ¢ Pacific during th Lot their mammy the 1881 and 18 grogating nearly 6,000,000 acr Omuhia to Ogden, of portion has b Pacitic, Atel Fe, Northern h all n s f their grants to and the effeet 8 he in the rapid inereaso in pop ulation and in the number of h are following up the throwing open of the railroad wis, Inour own state the wih of N the Platte, which has be during the past two y largely due to the rapid lands which were practieally withheld for <o many years from the market, The lavish generosity of the government in ars past toward the great corporations Il ne peated, aud th tenden: administration to inves tigate vigidly the way in which the land grant roads have complied with theiv contracts is making their managers anx- ious to elose ont their real est sions with safety and dispateh ales for Al 0 the main line which the Nebraska Topeka & Sonthern P strong eft from largest L'he Kans: Santa in m, and ilic I nsing purchasers on all s n s0 noticenhle te posses. ‘tions, clection ted to do nway with s which © hereto that city.

Omahia’s growth has been so remarkable within the past three years that the poll ing preeinets ave now becoming too few to mmodate the vote cast, The rush at the close of the polls invariably leaves out many intending voters who get no opportunity to cast their ballots. The feature of compulsory servieo of jud, and elerks of election must sooner or | ter commend itself for adoption.
