DKAN CUHKIUU of the Iowa univer

extension course recently on Roinui :
roads , showing their superiority tc
those of the present day , and how we
might learn from them the much needed
lesson of better roads in this country. Il

And yet lie hns been lecturing and

THIS reported collapse of the Chinese
manufacturers in San Francisco because
they cannot inako their financial ondi
moot Is surprising to those who have
supposed thai a Chinaman could always
make money In whatever situation IK
might bo placed. The celestials have
at least succeeded intaking millions ol
dollars out of this country. The amounl
of gold that they have carried to Chin :
from the diggings of the Pacific slope
would have nitdod a great deal to the
wealth of this country if Ithadroraalnoi
hero. This tendency to carry awaj
their gains greatly assuages tlio public
Borrow over their reported failure ti
make money in manufacturing In Sai
Francisco by the employment cl olioai
laborers who even refuse to rcglstoi
under the Geary law.

Thirty yoars.ngo ln < jt July eongrosi
granted a charter for tiio construction
of a railroad from the Missouri river to
the Pacific coast. A land grant which
would have made an ompirj was voted
to the promoters as asululdy , and bonds
amounting in nil to over filly millions of
dollars wore issued by the United States
to enable the builders ot tho' Pacific
railroad to ralso the nocoasnry injans
for its construction and equipment.
These bonds originally constituted a
flrsf mortgage , but worn convortnd to n
scconti morlgngo , by the corrupt machi
nations of' the Credit Mobolior ring.
The Pacific railnnd bonds were Issued
between ISO ! and IBGOns the construction
of the road progressed. They were
made tmyablo in thirty years and boar
intorosl at Iho rate of 0 per centimr
nnnum. The first mortgage bonds
issued by thn company , of equal amount
will also fall duo on about the same
dates , namely between 1694 und 180 ! ) .
The history of the Pacific railroads Is
well knownw The Union , Kansas and
Central Pacific roads were each ex
ploited by construction rings made un
chiefly of olllcors ot those roads , and
millions upon millions were fraudu
lently taken from the treasuries ot these
companies and converted into private
fortunes. The Central Paellle railroad ,
under Stanford , llunlington and Crocker
was pillaged and scuttled for the bonolit
of tlio Southern Pacific railroad , which
was built by those railroad buccaneers
with Iho millions they had stolen from
the Central Pacific.
The Union Pacific was stripped nnd
robbed In like fitshion under the very
noses of corrupt government directors ,
whoso duty It was to protect the inter
ests of the government. Extensions
were built into Utah , Idaho and Oregon
nt the expense of the main line and
construction rings were enriched .vhllo
the road \\i\i being bankrupted. The
change of dynasties in the management
of the Union Pacific made no olinngo in
the wrecking policies pursued with
slight variations from T. C. Durant lo
Charles Francis Adams and Adams to
Gould.
Weighted down with an enormous
debt llio company has levied burden
some tribute upon the people west of
the Missouri ana taxed the resources of
the region tributary to it lo the utmost.
Although its imperial land grant has
jcoit almost entirely swallowed up and
Is earnings hnyo exceeded $20,000,000 n
year lor the lost dccadc7Uio debt has
not diminished. On the contrary it has
Icopt on increasing. The only creditors
who have always boon provided for are
the flrbt-mortgajo bondholders. Their
coupons have been promptly paid be
cause these bonds have , for the mflst
part , ronninod in the hands of Ihe
Credil Mobolior people and their heirs.
They , of course , are safe , no matter
what become * of the road.
During several successive congresses
efforts have been made lo exleifd Ihc
debt ot the racllic railroads and re
duce the interest thereon. The first
proo [ ilion made by Stanford , Huntington -
ton and Gould was to extend the debt
sixty years and rcduc'a the interest
from 0 to o per cent.
Bills embodying that proposition
have been recommended by the rail
road committees in congress , usuilly
backed by the railroad companies , but
they have failed toreceive the sanction
of the national legislature. It is passing -
ing strange , too. that every Pacific
railroad funding bill lias boon heartily
commended .by- the board of govern
ment dirdotors and by the national
commissioner of railways. The report
just made bv the present commissioner ,
Mr. Taylor , urges the passage of the
bonalo funding bill with an extensior
of Iho debt for 100 years at an intoresl
rate of 2 per cent.
Now if there is to be any extension
granted to : h j Pacific roads tills propo
sition would certainly commend itsoll
to the people west of the Missouri , vrhc
are expcctod to pay in the shape of tollt
not only the interest , but the principal.
The lower the rnto of interest and the
more remote the payment of tlio prin
cipal Iho lower the freight rates coultl
bo made to the patrons of the road.
13ut the people of the western half ol
the continent do not in our opinion favoi
any Pacific railroad funding bill. They
want the road foreclosed and the watoi
wrung out of its fictitious slocks. The }
want the Pacific roael lo bo in position te
compete at failrates' with other lines
who now exact exorbitant tolls because
the Union nnd Central Pacific wcightei
down by a mountain of debt re hand !
capped and unnblo to cut rales except
Ing whore they do so secretly in the
sh.ipo of lawless rebates for favoroe
shippers.
The pica that tlio foreclosure of the
road by the first mortgage holders wnule
entail the loss of the uobl duo to the
government Is preposterous. Who i
to pay this Uobt under the funding bill' '
The people. If Iho debt Is to bo re
covered at all it should Da by forcing
the wreckers who exploited the Paclll
roads to disgorge. But to extend Iholi
control over tlio road by funding thi
debt would bo .nothing more nor les
than legalising tlio monstrous fraud
and robberies perpetrated by tlio Crodi
Mtibolier and Central Pacific construe
tlnn ring and unloading the debt thcsi
jobbert ) have created upon the people
of the United Stales in thin gonorntioi
and for the next hundred years.

The prompt and vigorous action tnkoi
by thoOmiiha police authorities In
pressing a disreputable Sunday
thai has long been circulated bj
nowsbuys on the streets of this city ap

yesterday and was only circulated sur
roptltluualy. Of course it was to bo ox
peotod that it would commend tin
M'orM-y/cmh ! and denounce THIS HUE
which it did quite freely. This pape
plainly said what it thought of thai
kind of journalism and warmly ap
proved the action of the authorities , bu

The sheet was largely filled with references

It is assumed by the Cnlcago pub
lishers of this disgraceful shoot , whlnh
boars the name of Omaha and maequor-
ados as a local production , that the
action of the authorities horcnvasn moro
passing spasm ot virtue and that their
vlgiluiico will presently bo relaxed.
This is not likely lo bo the outcome of
the movement , for It Is earnestly sup
ported by a strong public sentiment
that is growing rather than dying out.
Omaha does not need that kind ot litera
ture and will not tolerate it.

The movement in behalf of homo pat
ronage which lias made such headway
In this slnto , and particularly In this
city , during Iho pasiyoar , x necessarily
confined lo those articles of manufacture
mil trade which are proJucod ii'itl sold
lore , ntul its extension will naturally
depend upon the Inorcasoel production of
ueh articles. There has of lalo boon
inicli talk among business men of Iho
toed of an enlargement of Iho scope of
mr industrial enterprises so that the
ionic patronage idea might bo moro
ivjdcly uppliod , for il la now necessary
o go oulsidoaf the state for many things
ivhlch ttio citi/.ons of Nobrnslcu are
obliged lo buy.
Wllliout attempting to specify all of
articles of common use which can
not now bo purchased In this state , ono
of Ihom may bo taken as nn example.
Tlio steam engine , ono of Iho most
ndisponsable adjuncts- Iho clvlli/.a-
tlon and progress of Iho time , is not
nunufaelurod in Nebraska. Great
lumbers of them arc used , and new
uses for them are constantly multiply
ing all over the west , but , practically
ill of them come from the east , The
trade of Omaha covers n vast territory ,
u which the employment of steam on-
; inos In manufacturing , mining , pump
ing , farm work und oilier operations hi
which men tire constantly embarking
s steadily and rapidly increasing. The
idea that un engine plant In Omaha is
practicable is by no means now. Llko
some other needed enterpriser it has
been talked of , nnd men may bo heard
to speak of it almost any day , but It
doe)9 not materialize because everybody
wails for somebody else.
Other articles for which there is a
rowing nnd permanent demand in Iho
region conlribulary to Omaha might
bo mentioned thut coulel bo profitably
produced hero , nnd the complete suc
cess of the homo pattoaugo movement
requires that the scope of homo produc
tion bo enlarged to cover them all.
UXIFOKMITV IX STATE LAWS.
The movement for uniformity in state
laws , a reform the ncod of which all law
yers who have given the subject intelli
gent consideration admit , is making
progress. Commissioner represent
ing eight states hold their first mooting
to confer onllio subject last August , anel
a second meeting was recently held in
Now York. The first conference dealt
witu simple subjects , recommending
uniformity in the laws regulating the
execution of deeds , days of grace nnd
lime of maturity ot notes nnd bills , the
cortlfiuales of the olllcial character of
notaries , justices of the peace , etc. , Iho
use of seals on duuels , all matters in
which uniform laws would ensure much
safer results in ordinary' business deal
ings. The conference also adopted
judicious suggestions with reference to
uniform legislation governing tlio exe
cution of wills and their probate , and
the weights ana measures in daily use.
As to uniform laws regulating marriage
and divorce , it was recommended that
the ago of consent bo nvido 18 for males
and 10 for fom.ilos ; that every marriage
shall require written evidence signed
by Iho parlies and altcslod by witnesses ,
and that no divorce bo granted without
residence or service in the stito where
suit is brought.
This movement is hardly moro than
bonn nnd Iho fuel Unit eight stales
have already interested themselves in
it by the appointment of commissioners
gives favorable promise of its success.
The merit of the proposed reform will
not bo seriously questioned. The wide
diversity of ln vs in the various stales
rolaling lo like mailers is a source of in
finite trouble and numerous evils , and it
being granted that a remedy Is prac
ticable the ollorl lo provide it should receive -
coivo every encouragement. It is a sub
ject which bar associations everywhere
should consider with iv view to Impress
ing upon the legislatures of their stales
the expediency of the reform , and if
Ibis were generally done il would have
Iho otloct to greatly hasten the desired
consummation. Absolute uniformity in
nil state laws is porlr.ips nut attainable ,
nnd it is not the purpo-o of the reform
movement lo accomplish Ibis. But
there are a front many laws as te
which uniformity is out rely practicable
and would be highly beneficial.
XATIUXAL Q
It Is now understood that the scerj-
I'iry of the treasury will in Ills annual
report devote considerable space to the
subject of quarantine and will urge that
Iho country ncoets a national system.
Ho will recommend thai this bo estab
lished and administered tmdnr the di
rection of tlio burgeon general of Ihe
marine hospital service , and will lake
ground In opposition to the proposed re
vival of the Nittioiml Hoard of Health.
The whole country is interested in
the question of providing the most com
plete precautions against Iho possible
invasion of cholera next year , which
the best medical opinion regards an n
danger to bn seriously npproliondod ,
Shall it bo loft chiolly with the states to
provide quarantine ) regulations Against
tile disease , supplemented by such lim
ited assistance as the general govern
ment may vender under oxisllng condi
tions , or shall the duly of establishing
quarantine bo devolved wholly upon the
general government'1 ; is the question
which congress at tlio t-omlng session
will bo called upon to consider and do-
oldu. Giving the quarantine authorities
at Now York the greatest posjlblocrodil
for what they'd Id to keep cholera out o !
the country last summer , it willbe gen
erally admitted th.U the danger whioti
then threatened would not have baon sc
readily averted but for the interposition
of the national authorities. The steam
ship companies would not have ehowi
the fttiino respect for the authority of tlio
strvto thut they tlltl to that of the Kon-
oral government , whoso notice to them
Hint they must cease bringing immi
grants from the jnfecloil districts of
Europe was very promptly . .compiled
with , Tlioro la every reason to bollovo
that but for the -action of the general
government In this matter wo should
have had tx quite' serious visitation of
cholera this year.
At any rate , the lesson wns of u charac
ter to lintircss the entire country with
the oxpodlonojf Hind necessity of n
national system of quarantine. What
ever may hnvo boon the reasons for
originally placing this most important
measure of protection against the Intro
duction of contagious diseases In llio
control of the slates , the conditions are
such n.t tills time that they nro no longer
valid. Our vast extent of Bottled
frontier , seaboard and lake makes it
practically impossible to encuro ade
quate quarantine protection through
the united action of the stales , wltilo if
llio duly belonged lo the general go voi n-
monl and a system was properly organ
ized wo should bo at .ill times prepared
to promptly meet and avert a throatoncd
danger of the introduction ot contagious
nnd Infectious diseases.
Tlio interior states of the country are
qulto ns much interested in tills maUor
IIH these on the soaboaid , for the distri
bution of diseases may bo accomplished
in several ways. In order to prevent
this , or to reduce the danger to the
minimum , il is obviously necessary lhat
the precautions taken shall bo under
one control instead of dependent upon
the action of Iho nuthorltlos of n score
of states , each at liberty to establish
whatever regtihillons it may thltijf
proper , or nol to establish any. The
failure of a single slalo to do ils full
duly in this inaltor would lay the whole
comflry open to a dcaillv invasion of
disease.

The Interstate Commerce commission
has sent out lo the business men of the
country a circular asking for communi
cations as to whether it is practicable ,
and if so advisable , to amend the inter
state commerce act so as to legalize
pooling contracts between competing
roads. Opinions are also asked as to Iho
best form of amendment lo secure Ihe
best general results to the public. At a
meeting of llio Trades league of Phila
delphia a few elays ago a resolution was
adopted declaring ' "that the best inter
ests of shippers itnel carriers will bo sub
served alike by anj amendment of the
fiflh seclion ot Iho law permitting con
tracts between railroad * for tlio division
of earnings , stiuh''c6ntract9. ' tariff rates
and the operations tinder such joinlcon-
raots generally It ) bo suojecU to the ap
proval , supervision and direction of the
commission , which should have power
after hearing to revoke either agree
ments or lariff , oVuboth. " It was said in
"the preamble to his rcsolulion lhat ex
perience has shown that uneior the fifth
section of the inlorstuto commerce law
Iho business cotnfuupliy Is still subjected
to 111 results , duo-to-un.unreslrietoel iinel
unregulated competition , manifested in
unstable tariffs , causing discrimination
between porsous and localities.
Action by other trade organizations
on this subject will probably bo taken at
an out ly day , audit the general senll-
inont is found lo bo favorable to the sug
gested amendment , which it is quite
likely lo bo , doubtless the proposoel
change will receive iho sanction of Iho
Interstate Commerce commission , in
which case it would undoubtedly bo
adopted by congress. This question of
pooling has boon moro or less discussort
over since the act wonl Inlo offocl , ana
within the lasl year or Iwo 11 has re
ceived very earnest consideration both
bv shippers and carriers. It is not lo
bo doubted that there Juts been a grow
ing sentiment in favor of u restricted
system of pooling under the supervision
of the national commission. Experience
anel discussion have served to remove-
from the public mind much of the old
prejudice against pooling , and the fail
ure of associations of railroad managers
to accomplish anything practical anel
permanent in their efforts to solve the
dilllcultlcs arising from unregulated
compotiliem bus forced iho conviction
upon many ef ) those formerly hostile lo
pooling lluil that system , under judi
cious regulation , promises the best if
nol Iho only Bolulio of the problem.
The prohibition of railroad pools was
a mosl important legislative exnerimont
and it hud general popular support Tor
Iho reason that uneior the unrestricted
and unregulated systempooling usually
operated to the disadvantage * of the
public. It did away with the competi
tion whoso effect was to keep rates
down. Hut with a ragulatcd system ,
under Iho stiporylslon of the Inlerslnte
Commerce commission , pooling rates
would have lo bo reasonable and the
important condition of stability would
bo secured. The fact must bo admitted
that the-prohibition of pooling lias not
accomplished what wns expected of it.
It lias not rcducc'djltj u difficulties of the
railroad problem.but ; rather seems to
have intensified thcjn. Such being the
case , and the ex ) e'rinolt | | having had
an ample trial , the demand for Iho
umcndmonl of llio' jaw so as lo allow
pooling under legislative regulation
appears to bo justlfiiid by considerations
of public interest. u

It is expected that during the next
session of congress'- the plan instituted
by the farmers alliunco to secure logls-
latlon favorable to federal inspection of
grain will bo vigorously pushed for
ward. During tlio session last summer
the sclomo ) was carried almost to suc
cess , The bill passed thu nonato under
the title , "A bill to'provide for fixing u
uniform standard of classification of
grading of wheat , corn , rye , oats and
barley and for other purposes , " und was
reported favorably to Iho house. It was
opposed by Representative Warner of
Now York on the ground that , carried
to its logical oonoluaion , it would de
mand a small army of federal employes ,
nnd it'did nol reach a vote , though it
was claimed that all friends of the !
farmer would rally to its support anel
carry itthrough If a vote were lakon ,
It is now anticipated that another rally
will bo attomptee' in lit behalf at thu
coming session under the leadership ol
( lialrman Hatch ot the house eommlttoo
on agriculture.
For two years past the friends af this
measure , Including the secretary ot ag
riculture , have been earnestly but
quietly agitating the subject ot federal
inspection of grain , niitl no gro.it secret
has been inaele ot the ultimate purpose
to Imvo'a national system of inspection
under the control of federal olllclals.
Ono of the chief advocates of the uni
form standard said In a circular issued
In February , 1S90 : "I do not sso how
this can bo done except through a na
tional Inspection for grain , the Inspec
tors to bo npnolnted by the head of the
Department of Agriculture , and the
standards to bo kept at such elopirtment
in Washington , and perhaps at the
principal markets of Iho country , and
ofllcial certificate of the Inspectors' mak
ing certain to the purchaser that thu
quality of the grain delivered shall bo
us stated in said certificate. ! ' In u sub
sequent eimilar the same advocate of
thu measure said : "I am anxious that
you do not put the bill in peril by at-
lomplluV at tlio same tlmo to auUiorl/.o
national Inspection. " The fact thus ap
pears to bo recognized thai whllo there
can bo no serious objection to Iho estab
lishment of the proposed uniform
standard tlioro would bo vigorous and
determined opposition to federal super
vision and the increased number of
federal ollclals which would bo ren
dered necessary. It is upon the hitler
ground llint opposition to llio present
bill is being developed ,
The need of a uniform standard of
grain inspection is recognized by these
who have given attention to the sub
ject , and il Is not onsy to BOO how na
tional supervision could produce any
serious abuses which do not exist under
Iho supervision of Iho several states.
At present various standards tire in
force in the diffoi out states in which the
leading grain markets are located. Ne
braska shippers cannot bo certain under
the existing system that their grain
will bo rated the sumo by inspectors
elsewhere as hero. _ Under tlio proposed
uniform system there could bo ne >
change in Its rating after it left the
hands of the Nebraska shipper und Iho
oloitionl of uncertainty upon this
point would thus bo entirely removed.
Another consideration mentioned by
Omaha grain dealers in discussing this
subject , is that uiTOor the slate system
there is often great variation in grad
ing grain that does not realty eliffor at
all in quality , the assistant inspectors
differing in their judgment or in the
amount of care which they bestow upon
their work. As a result of this varia
tion , consignment of grain grown upon
Iho same fields and precisely equal in
every way are raled differently lit their
distillation.
The chief objection to the national
inspection plan undoubtedly arises from
the fact lhat thn inspectors would bo
salaried officials in Iho employ of the
general government , whereas they are
now paid in percentages which como
out of Iho shipper , nnd thus indirectly
out of the producer. Does not the sumo
objection apply to the proscnl success
ful and highly beneficial system of moat
inspection ?
The advantages to be derived from
uniformity of standard should not be
sacrificed on account of the opposition
to federal supervision.
A cmtfAT project , considered with
reference both to the engineering skill
involved and ils vast industrial possibil
ities , is about complolod. This is the
utilization of Iho power of Niagara river
lo manufacturing purposes. The work
on Ihis enterprise , a very difficult ono ,
requiring the expenditure of millions of
dollars , has boon in progress for moro
than a year , and a ? there Is abundant
capital behind it there can bo no doubt
of its success. It is expected to make
Buffalo at no very distant time ono of
Iho great manufacturing cantors of the
country , ' nnd it Is anticipated that it
may effect a revolution in industrial
methods elsewhere. The cost of power
from this source will bo much belowany-
thing that can now bo had , for it almost
eliminates the expense of fuel from
the estimates of manufactures and can
not fall to give its pultons an immense
ndvnnlago ever all Bothers who are on-
gnjjod in similar work. To what extent
It will affect the manufacturing world
the most practical would find II impossi
ble to determine , but its promoters pro-
diet wonderful results. It is said that
Now York and Chicago are nnikiiiLr ar
rangements lo use this power , and if it
is found practicable for Ihom lo do so
there is no reason why Philadelphia ,
Cleveland and other manufacturing
cities may not do so. It thus appears
that a problem which perplexed some of
the best engineering minds for years
has. boon solved , and Iho results will bo
awnilod with universal interest. Buf
falo IB quite naturally looking forward
lo an extraordinary industrial boom.

undur our presoyt system of voting and
