UNI0N PACIFIC PROSPERITY. President Charles Frneis Adams has been in the west now fora fortnight. During that time he kas had his fingers constantly upon the pulse o the great railway system of which hels the head. To aBEE representative at Salt Lake he gave an account of his observations wponthe conditionof apatiot that has for along timooccipied the best rom in the governmenthospital for the cure of ailing corporatins. M Adams reprts that the Union Pacific railway is ina condition ofsuperb health. His commenis onthesubject are marked bya warmth of enthusiassm quite foreign to the tempera- mentof his historio “amily. Hesays he supposed o year ago that he hal mude amplo provisions for handling the busi- nessof the rowd. He counted upon an inereise of perhaps tenper cent, but to his amazment the incremse is over twenty-five per cent and the fucilities are quite inadequate to the demunds uponit. Theroadis blockel with bisi- ness which it can hardly handle and everything indicates that this marvelous prosperity is to continue without abate- ment, *“Tis men are worried beyond en- durance.”says thedispateh, *‘and allde- partments arerushed todeath.”” Here- ports that one hunired and seventy new locomot ives and one thousand new coal cars have bem ordered, and that one million ties will scon be put in needed places and miles of new steel laid as soon as possible, Tt will be pleasing to Uncle Sam to learn that a debtor which owes him something more than ity million dol- lars is in so flourishing a condition. In the light of President Adams’ enthusi- asticaccount of the road’saffairs, it is easy to see how the stock of tho Union Pacifie isstill highly valued inspito of its munerous wnprofiitable branches and its intcrminable rivers of witered stocks and bonds, Ttis wdowtedly 8 grat and prosperows property, draining a country that is going forward todevelop- menthy lapsind bounds. Andit isap- parently able to take care of itsdlf inthe future. Nov why w@nnot this powerful and prosperous corporation do something for the poplo of Nebmska in the way of lower rates on local truffic? Why should mot the business men andthe army of consumersin this slate receive at lewst a portion of tho benefits of a prosperity which they have largely ns- ted in creating? Wy shouldnot the atesin Nebriska come down to the basis enjoyed by the patrons of other ronds in otherstats? Thes are qu tions im portant enougrhto warrint can- did discussion, THE SOLID WEST. Tho solid west isas mucha substantial political fact s thosolil south, but it livesunder wmother flag, Itis the bul- warkof repablicanism., Viowed in this light, the presont leated contests in Kanss, lowaand Ne- braska have a significance that is not measured by slate issues, 1or even by the importance of retaining republican supromacy in the lwer branch of con- gress Tnthisaspect of the wse the contests in these three states con- cornthe deeper question of maintaining the integrity of the republican orguni- zation asa whole,of protecting from im- pairment tho solid center of the republican line, where the im= preguable batteries aro supposel to be located 20d on which the less relisble wings of the army fall bk to wlly again after occasional repulses inoff year, ‘When the solid south breaks it will be necesary for the democriey o reform its lines on mew grounds., This will be a blessing to the country.

Roberts, secretary of the prohibition state committee,” to Census Superintendent Porter. Mr. Rob- ertshad the coumge to sign his name, an exanple the snonymous slanderers and falsifiersof Omaha wisely failed to follow, but his assertions and accusations aremalicious and baseless, The methods adopted by prohibitionists for revenue only should srouse the people to defend themselves, theireityand their homes from the fonl attacks of unprincipled agitators. The people of the whole state, noless than the rvesidents of the city, are proud of the capital, its splen- didgrowth ud progressive enterprise. That itshould be maligned by persons claiming to bo citizens of the state, its growth promounced fetitious, and the people openly acwused of conspiring to commitfraul, isun outrage that should be indignantly repelled at every hallot boxin the state. And what is true of Lincoln applies to every city in the state. Noneare safe from the attacks of these morcenury riders. Mr. JoHN M. THURSTON is reported as having said ata Minneipolis gather- ingof republicansthat President Harri- son is very unpopular in Nebriska, This opinion is in marked contrast with theemphatic endorsement which Presi- dent Harrison received at thehands of the largest convention of republicans that has ever met in Nebraska and at tho hands of every congressional con: vention as well as the conventions in Onmahaand Douglas county during the present campaign, TWO years ago it cost the county thitty-five conts per square yurd to do extra grading around thenew hospital, Now contractorsre tumbling over each otler todo like vork for the county at a fraction less thup thirteen cents. And thedemocratic shouters proclhim that “everything is' ging up.” The asser- tion hovever apjlies only to the democ- racy asa pary. AN eastern railbond president speaks, in his anmual report, of the **unconscions pemecution of the rallrouds by thepeo- @le” Ttcertainly is vory unconscious in this part of the country, but the people have a lively senss of the persecution practiced by the railroads upn them, If it works the oflier way in the cast, it is only poetic justice.
