The apirit of the age is no longer contont with the old elassification of agriculture and commeree, the one producing, tho other exchanging. The present century has added manufactures to the list and through long years of indirect taxation has at last placed Amorican industries in a thousand lines of production, on a solid footing. Yoar by year the expand- ing limits of the great manu i nrea have pushod weatwar ghenics were erossed twenty-five yoars ago. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, then almost exclusively farming regions, to- day rank among the first of the manu- facturing statos. The Mississippi itself has been crossed and lowa and Nebraska are now ready to enter the field with other competitors.

Tho Omaha strect railway owns the most remuperative right of way in the city. Its system, which during the past two years has been greatly extended, bids faivat no distant day to gridiron our,| thoroughfares with its rails, and toa great extent monopolize that class of lic in the community. Under its new management it has greatly mproved, but there are several puints yet whero there is still room for further improve ment in order to give proper accommo- dations to the traveling public The running time of the cars, espec- inlly on the cross town li is ridicu- lously slow. On the Park avenue and ighteenth street line the averuge time made is less than three miles an hour from terminus to termivus. Many clerks and merchants along the ronte decline to pirtronize the cars becanse in fairly good weather they can walk the distance to their oflices and stores faster than they ean be earried over the rails. The long waits on the switches added to the slow time between switches groatly detracts from the usefulness of the line. Th same may be said of tha Cuming street line and in a less degree of the Saunders street ronte. There is no good reason why the company eannot shorten the timo. On a quicker schedule it would certainly secure enough sadditional pat. ronaze to move than puy for the differ- is o general compluint that the nonts for transferring passeng- from one street car line to another inudequate and unsatisfactory. Pas- sengers are forced to catch the cars as they can on the Fifteenth strect crossing, and unless the driver happens to see them enter, are subjected to urgent and embarrassing requests to drop their nickels in the box. At other points be- si les Fifteonth and Furnam there are ab- solutely no facilities for transfer. Travel- | until late in the session. lers who wish to take the Cuming street line from a Sixteenth street car must pay the additional fare and wait often from tive to ten minutes before making con- noctions. All this trouble could be obyvi- ated by tho use of transfer t'okets good on the day of issuc and distinguished by colors so that they would not be used for another trip. As matters are now ar- runged the transfer is un annoyance and often an embarrassing snd unnutigated nuisanes, Ultimately the “bob tail car' must give way to cors with conductors, They are too small in the first place and too econ- omical ut the expense of the public in the second place.
