Falconer SOMETHING LIKE ROBBERY. Judgo Mason Uses an Expression Regard- ing B. & M. Rates in Nebraska. . HIS LETTER TO G. W. HOLDREGE. Exorbitant Overcharges in This State as Compared With Rates Asked Minnesota and Dakota. [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] On the 6th of August Judge Mason ad- dressed a communication to General Manager Holdrege calling his attention to the fact that the rates in Nebraska on freight of all kinds was greater than those of Minnesota or even Dakota terri- tory. General Manager Holdrege re- plied in the same manner as usual, de- nying that such was the case. In re- sponse to that letter of Mr. Holdrege, Judge Mason has just sent the following communication, which will require some- thing more than a flat denial on the part of the railroad manager: LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 2.—Mr. G. W. Hold- rege, goneral manager B, & M. in Nebraska: Dear Sir: Conslderable delay was caused in answering that part of your communication to the board ot transportation of the 6th of August in which you say that “a careful ex- lmtulliull of tho tarifls of the lines west of St. Paul will convince vou that Minnesota pays higher rates than Nebraska,” by the difliculty of securing the taritfs from Chicago northwest into Minnesota and Dakota terri- tory, but I have at this late day succeeded In obtaining these tariffs as well as the Dakota local distance tariff. T'his latter tariff 18 the same as that of Minnesota, and ver: much lower than that of A\'ehrune and hereby trausmit to you, and submit for your consideration, a tabulated statement of rates to points in Dakata territory and Minnesota west from St. Paul, from Chicago to those points named 1in the tavle, and the rate of tariff to points in Nebraska equally distant from Chicago with those named in Dakota territory and Minnesota, and 1ind the Ne- braska rates uniformly higher. ‘The tigures o the right of the lettor 1Y) in the indicated the distance the bointnamed is from Chicago, and then follows the tariff rate charged on the several classes of freizht. 8.

And to the right of carried out the rates charged on the B. & M. in Nob., and to the right of “C" the rates of tariff on freight from Chicago on the Fremont, Klkhorn & Missouri Valley railway in Nebraska, and to the right ot “D" the rate of tariff charged by “;.1 ll nlon Pacitic railway in Nobraska west of Chicago. You will not fail to observe that Minnesota and Dakota territory pay less freight per mile than is paid in Nebraska. The only product of importance shipped from Chicago to points wast of St. Paul in Minnesota and Dakota is wheat, aud the rate charged upon wheat from points west of St. Paul in Minnesoto and Dakota I3 from 25 to 40 per cent less than rates charged and pald in Nebraska for a like distance, ‘The rates quoted in the table herewish sub- mitted, cover every variety of freight, all classes and kinds of merchandise, all articles used in Or for manUfacturing purposes, agri- cultural implements, wazons and vehicles of every kind, houseliold goods, furniture, sal lime, cement, coal and all products consum in ewvillite. And you will not fail to observe that in some cases, for exawple, fourth eclass freight to Ord, Neb,, 18 104 per cent higher than for a like aistance on sawe class of freight west from St. P and on fifth el freight the rate is 103 per cent higher, than for wlike distance west of Si, Paul on the sawe class bt; and that the rate of frel, to iille Tho win: Ord will lntqojn all classes of freight, 100 ) ning the wedai by a sccre of 21 qu‘l.w‘. per cent higher than for fa like number of miles west from St, Paul. There is not a freight rate in the state of Nebraska in force at this time, that can be justitied by comparison with rates In other western states, upon which business is doue: and this is true both as to local rates and on rates fron without into the state; and some of the rates in Nebrasks, for example, the rate to Ord, look like hizghway robbery. For instance, the rate to Ord is 100 per cent hignher than the rute to Wahpeton, Dakota, the distance betwoen the two {vlnun and Chi- cago being the same, and Winden., a placa aqually distant from Chicago on your road is but little better treated than Ord. You do not conline your detense of rates in Nebraska to your own road, but you un- dertake to defend the rates charged in Ne- braska on other roads, as well as your own. Hence 1 have taken points on the various lines of the roads in this state and compared the rates charged from Chicago to these l)u'nu with the rates charged to points in Dakota, a like distance from Chieago. Da- Kota is territory, sparsely populated, with an area nearly double that ot Nebraska, with A population less than one-half that of Nebraska, and her freight rates will average 50 per cent less than those charged in Nebraska, and yet its resourses are un- developed, 1t Is without trade. traflic or com- meree to compare with that of Nebraska. ‘The Nebraska ratos can not be detended.

The only defense which can be successfully invoked is that of the highway- man and the robber—power on the one_hand und necessity on the other. The figures in the tavle herewith submitted, silent and speechless, look you and me in the face, and like the gaping, bieeding wounds left by the assassins knife, are unmistakable ovideace of who is dealing injurous blows to the com- merce and prosperity of this state and in the end to the railroads thewselves. 1t 1s not I, nor yet the board of transportation who have done and am yet doing tho deadly work, it is those who make these exorbitant rates and insist on mainiaining them. The struggle may bo prolonzed but while justice and right survive in the world of "traflic the final result cannot be doubtful. I would be rejoiced if a_reasonable adjustment of rates could be made in a spirit of mutual con- cession and with just regard for the rights of the people of the state, and agitation and contention cease. But there will be no turn- ing back from the demand for a material and substantlal reduction of rates in this state. If turther legislation is needed to effectuall! accomplish this result, in due time it will come, and when it comes it may possibly be met with the remembrance of wrongs not redressed and appeals for right and justice unanswered. Better were it for tbe railroads that a reaajustment of rates were speedily made than'to further add insult to injury and further wrongs too Er(mvnun to be borne. x, ).

A Picture of the Highest, Healthiest, Home-like Suburb for Mer- chants and Artisan to be round in the West. The question of rapid snburban trains which have become a necessity to Omaha and our growing suburbs, has been sat- istactorily answered by the Union Pacific, which was the first road to appreciate their utility not alone for individual ad- vantage, but also as a means of building up the territory which they are expected to accommodate. This road is now run- ning an hourly train to the stock yards | and beyond to Albright, which is now the select residence place in that part of the city. The train stops at an elegant sta- tion, the most beautiful on the road, and strongly reminded the BEE reporter of some of the pratty depots which Chicago roads have erected at some of their most flourishing suburbs. The writer was engaged in iooking up news for the next morning’s paper and was delayed until nearly midnight. He was about to hire a conveyance to be driven into town when the station agent at Albright told him a dummy train would leave for Omaha at11:45p. m. The reporter waited for the train andin a few minutes was in his office. Back and forth, the trains had been running to Albright for eighteen hours that day, making it possible for the residents of that locality to go to and return from town a dozen times, and even attend the theatre in the evening. 1t is & commonplace remark that one- balf of the world does not know how the other half lives. It is realized in the reporter’s experience because nobody who has not been down in the vicinity of Albright can known how rapidly that place and the city.have grown in an un- appreciable short time. The reporter counted fifty residences within view at one time—all handsome and commodi- ous, and evidently the abodes of thrift and industry and "happineas, both of the present and rro.‘pncllve. These were scattered over the place which, by the way, is not inappropriately named Al- bright, because, at all times, it is bright and cheery, beingsituated high and dry, and possessingndtural drainage peculiur- ities which caw never be over-estimated. Some of theso ‘homes, the reporter learned are to be had for most reasonable terms. They are deservedly cheap be- cause Albright nos is the only pl i the vicinity which, may be utilized for residences, Soyth Omaha being already broken up or taken up by its manufact- uring industries, While Mr. Albrght, after whom the place is named, has sold most of the property,a resident informed the reporter, he was now engaged in in- creasing the value of the same by the introduction of manufactories, which, however, he confines to the manufactur- ers’ reserve and in no way interfere with the resident portion. There is now u large carriage factory on the site, which™ will ‘turn out this winter 1,600 sleighs and work has already commenced upon a flour- mill which will turn out between one and two hundred barrels of flour per day ‘There are other enterprises negotiating for location here, which, when located, will give Albright the advant: whieh its location demands. It affords a Lome to the wage-worker as well us it does to the man of means, and with its hourly be at home with his family in shorter time after labor bours than their proto- types in the city who must walk or ride home in slow-going and irregular street cars. The latter are stopped by snow, the steam engine never be- tween hereand Albright. As a ro: dence place for Wage-wor! in South Omaha it is unexcelled and this fact is beiflli appreciated because work- men 1o the latter place are taking up homes just as rapidiy as they can be pre- Imm«l or them. Mr. Potter of the Union Pacitic intends to give Albright station halt-hourly trains in & short time, on the principal,'he says, that ‘‘the more trains we run the more people we carry.” Bet- ter accommodation than this, the wealth- iest suburbs of Chicago do not enjoy. Mr. Albright's enterorise has led to the establishing of West Albright, south of Leavenworth street, in close proximnt; to the John Dierck Agricurltural Implement factory, and the West Davenport Furniture factory, botk of which are located on the manufac- turers’ reserve of this addition, and this, like its other namesake, being rapidly settled and with the most brilliant pros- pects. Mr. Albright all along has been one of the most persistent of qur eitizens work- ing with the railroads for suburban trains. The service above outhined, which practically enables a man to enjoy the comforts of a_home in the suburbs with all the luxuries of the city, is prac- tically to be credited to him as will also the half-hourly service which will soon be put on between this and Albright. s Why She Was Promoced. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—|Special ‘l'elecram to the BEE.]—For some days there have been hints of a great scandal in the postoflice de- partment. It 1s said to-night that an attrac- tive younz woman who has been particularly favored in the way of promotions for some years was recently seen to tear in pieces a note which had been handed to her. One ot the clerks in the room picked out the pieces and pasted them together. They proved to form a note from the chief of the division in which the girl is employed, which showed that improper relations have existed between the two. The chief 18 a married man, The clerk took his find to the acting postmaster keneral, Colonel Stevenson. This ofticial concluded to await the return of Mr. Viias before taking any aetion, It is expected that when the postmaster general returns there will be a biz scandal, in which a number of prominent people will be involved. e Will Meet in Kansas City, CHIcAGO, Sept. 3.—The executive commit- tee of the Natlonal Cattle and Horse Grow- ers’ assoclation of the United States, at a meeting this afternoon decided to hold the next annual meeting at Kausas City, begin- ning on October 31, and continuing for three days. ‘The Kansas City live stock exchange and the managers of the fat stock show will take the matter in hand and see that all nec- essary lrrln‘mmanu are made.
