MONOPOLY.
The cry of '"monopoly" will be heard
upon ever' de because Vanderbilt and
Joy are about to form a combination of
interests which will extend from ocean to
ocean. The "monopoly,' will consist in
the fact that they will have the shortest
and best route, which insures the trade.
We are in favor of the kind of monopo
lies that do all the business of the public
simply because they can do it cheaper
than any one else. We welcome the
Vanderbilt & Joy monopoly, on the
basis of short route, easv trade and
cheap rates.
The "grammatical" attorney of the
City Council admitted before the Council
last week that the I'ai'road Co. could
condemn the vsc of necessary levee
grounds even in the hands of the Dock
& Levee Company; but claimed ; that
they could condemn the title to these
grounds in the hands of the city. We
know nothing of law, an l very little of
said Attorney's kind of "grammar," but
it requires neither of these, and only
11 . n
smau quantity ot common sense to un
derstand that the city can delecate no
rights or powers to the Dock & Levee
Company that she does not possess her
self. If her title to these grounds is not
sufficient to keep the Railroad Company
froui taking them, then because she
quit-claimed her title to the Dock fc
JiCVce Coiupuny, does that arue that
the Dock & Levee Company possess any
better title than the city did. It may
be so, but we think nothing short of a
"grammatical" mind can comprehend
the reasoning which shows it.
III.TKAX IT.
e have heard the assertion made
several times by an eminent Councilman
of this city that it never was the intcn
uon oi the council or any body else to
let the so-called Dock &, Levee Company
have the Levee Grounds; that they only
wanted to keep the Railroad Company
from getting them. Such talk, in the
face of the action of the Council, is too
much like childs play to deserve a candid
thought; but when the commercial inter
ests ol the city are in the keeping of
such men, it becomes a necessity to treat
their actions and sayings as having some
meaning, whether they have or not.
Let us sec whether the City Council
"meant" to let the D k & Levee Com
pany have these grounds or not. The
Ordinance says "the same are herthy
granted, quit-claimed and leased for the
term ofninety-nine years from the date
hereof to the corporation known as the
Plattsmouth .Dock & Levee Company."
Now, if any man, after voting for that
Ordinance, can stand up and say he "did
not intend and does not intend" that
the said Dock & Levee Company shall
have this ground unless he was induced
by false representations to vote for the
ordinance, then we think lie should
employ an attorney to "correct his gram
mar." BOl RAII.RU ADS.
A great damage is being done the
country by the organization of Ixjgus
Railroad Companies, designed only to
attract the attention of the people for a
short time from some legitimate and feas
ible improvement. There is just one
infallible rule by which any sagacious
business mind may tell whether a com
pany is bogus.or whether there is a prob
ability that it may cany out what it pro
poses, and people will consult their own
interests if they throw aside all organiza
tions that will not stand the test. First,
look the company over that proposes to
build you a Railroad, and ' see whether
the men coiujosinp it have the money to
earn- out that which they proixse; for
it matters not how much you want a
road on a certain line, or how much you
think it will pay when built, it takes lots
of money to build it, and it L r"no earth
ly account until it is built- If the men
who propose to build you a Railroad
have not the money, it is no use to look
longer iu that direction, for they will fail,
nomattei how good their intentions are.
Next, use your own judgment based on
sound business principles, as to whether
the road would lc a paying one to the
company, after it was built, taking into
consideration its connections, other lines
of roads, the extent of country it would
drain, etc. If j-our judgment tells you it
will not pay, or at least not for many
years, do not depend on it, for it docs
not matter how much meney the project
era have, they are not going to put it
into a road that will not pay. We have
invariably expressed our belief that Ne
braska would soon be well supplied with
Railroads, but we think she is having a
surfeit of lxgus organizations just now
that never expect to build a mile of road,
only to manufacture a. little capita! of
some kind. We say again, when you
hear of a new line of road about to be
built in the west, look over the names in
(Connection with it, examine the line, its
oocaections, etc., and then apply the test
of sound business principles. If they do
not harmonize, remember that theory
and good-rill never built a mile of Rail
road. It iufc?? muscle aJ money.
Fivehundred harids are now engaged on
one M. P. Railroad contract in thespttce
of three mi.Vs. How is that for high,
Mr. l'lattsmouth Herald f Chronicle,
And we can prove by the files of the
Chronicle that those five hundred men
have been at work on those same three
miles for more than a year past. How is
that for low, Mr. Chronicle ?
RIOTO.V A STEAMBOAT.
riTC Men Killed. '
From the Davenport Gazette we It am
that a most fearful riot occurred on the
Steamer Davenport, at Hampton land
ing, on the Mississippi river, a short
time ago. A large number of raftsmen
were aboard as deck passengers, who
made a deliberate onslaught on the ne
gro deck hands, killing and heaving over
board five of them, and seriously wound-
rro - -
mg several, ine apparent excuse va,
that a negro had been placed at the foot
of the stairs with orders to allow none
to go up while fare was being collected
on deck. An attempt was made to pass
the guard, and he refused to allow any
one to rass. The rioters were arrested
by a posse of some sixty armed men,
under the Sheriff, and lodged iu jail.
Upon a' preliminary examination ten of
the rioters were held for trial and the
others released.
THAT KAIL 110 A D.
Some of our Nebraska City friends
have inaugurated a little Railroad
scheme up the Weeping Water, to Ash-
lanfl and the Platte Valley, etc., which
we fear is onlv done for the purpose of
trying to enibiiter the people of the
Southern and South-western portion cf
the county against the city of Platts
mouth, knowing that many of them al
ready feel somewhat agrieved over the
turn Railroad matters have taken. We
say we fear such is the case, and we be
lieve the facts will bear us out in the as
sertion. We know (as is suggested by a
Nebraska City contemporary) nearly or
quite all the men concerned in this mat
ter, and while they are very fine men,
and some of them may do very well to
run newspapers, and others to designate
to enrolling clerks what the rides of rhe
toric demand in certain cases, vet we do
not exactly see how these things qualify
them for building long lines of Railroad.
It is probably thought that Plattsmouth
might be injured by the agitation of this
scheme, but that the projectors
have a serious thought that such a road
111 11. . 1 V M
will te rniut tv tnem we do not lor a
moment believe, and the time will come
when the people who would be benefited
bv the building of such road will censure
the 'projectors for the false hopes and
taise statements winch induced tl.em to
have conSdence in the building of the
road. The men who are engaged in this
wild scheme are men who all shook up
together could not furnish enough loose
capital to build and equip a single mile of
road. Whenever some reliable Railroad
Company takes hold of a line of road
from Nebraska City, we will then believe
she will have railroads; but mch good,
"first rate chaps" as Stevenson. Waters
& Co. are not a success as Railroad
ists. TIIEGKEAT TlIROI'CiU LIKE.
Since Ave first began to study the rail
road system of the west, and look at the
building and operating of railroads in a
business point of view, it has been a con
viction in our mind that l'lattsmouth
was situated at the point of crossing on
the Missouri river for the great through
route between the Atlantic and the Pa
cific. The course of reasoning which
caused this conviction was simple. ' We
see that by this route the shortest line
and the easiest grades can be had, and
those are the great objects sought by all
through lines. Local roads may be well
sustained without these requisites; but
no railroad can become a great thorough
fare unless it possesses these two essen
tials. These the line via Plattsmouth
has. Connecting with the IT. P. at the
hundreth meridian, as one of the legal
branches of the Pacific, entitled to the
same facilities of connection as the road
to Omaha, having a maximum grade of
twenty feet to the mile a thing almost
unknown to railroads of that length
being very much shorter than any other
route, and running through the richest
portion of the State; these thimrs give
the B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska advan
tages over any other route for the thro'
trade that cau not fail of having; a power
ful influence. Then, when we go east of
the Missouri river, we find very nearly
the same state of affairs. The 15. & M.
has by far the shortest route, and has
the easiest grades of any road across the
state of Iowa. From Darlington east to
the Atlantic this line is still favored in
.1 T T
tne same way. iier connections are
such, under the old rule, that little doubt
was entertained of this being the great
through route; but the present indica
tions are, that Vanderbilt is aVmt to join
with this line, and secure it a.i the great
through route, beyond all question. It
is well known among railroad men that
influences in this direction have been at
work for some time, but their consum
matiou have only lately been affected so
as to attract public attention. We say,
let the work go on. The people of Ne
braska will not object to this, becoming
the great national highway. As we have
said upon many occasions, nature his
marked this out as the great highway for
commerce between the two oceans, and
all the devices of man cannot prevent it
becoming such.
We leam from Mr. Mallorv, who has
the contract for bridging and laying track
for twenty-five miles from the River east
ward, that some 20 or 30 car-loads of iron,
bridtre timber and ties have arrived bv
the C. R. I. &. P. Road, and track lay
ing will le commenced here immediatley
probably before you read th.:s item.
Mr. M. promises that the cars will be
running to this point before Sept- H th.
without faiL Glentrood Opinion.
On Mondav the steamer MeGill burst
ed her mud-valve about firten miles
above this point and had to "lay to" for
repairs wUu;h were speedily made. On
yesterday morning she arrived at our

To tbepiditor of the Davenport Daily Journal.
It is a question to be solved by time
alone, whether Davenport will have a con
nectioniwithJthePacifie railroads. Today
your people understand themselves as
having, via the Rock Island road, a thro
route to the Pacific; two mouths hence
the Rock Island may be cut off, and they
have to rely upon the management of
other roads for even the slightest favor.
It has been iutimated in railroad circles,
by those'who are supposed to know, that
the management of theJJurlington it Mis
souri Railroad has passed out of the
original corporators, and is now vested in
Cornelius underbilt and James F Joy.
The former, having secured the consoli
dation of the Lake Shore roads, has a
trunk from New York to Chicago; the
latter gentleman has also a trunk road
via Michigan Centalj Canada Great
Western, and New i ork Central rail
roads, between Chicago and New York.
The Burlington it Missouri railroad is a
short cut from Chicago to the Missouri.
The road is being rapidly built, and in a
short time will reach the Missouri river
at Plattsmouth. Nebraska. Alter bridg
ing the river, it is designed to extend the
lini ja'ong the south valley of the Platte,
and tap the L'niou Pacific railroad some
where between Columbus and Kearny.
When completed, the Burlington & Mis-
.1 Y l . rw " 1 1 .
soun, via the .Juliet cutori. will give a
road 140 miles shorter between the Last
ami the West than via any other road.
This is the present programme marked
out by Mr. Vanderbilt, and to which the
managers ol the Lnion and Central Pa
cific railroads have iguorautly let their
sanction.
Objection is not, nor will it be made
against the Burhnirton & Missouri com
pany, because the road will be the short
est; but ere long a universal crv will go
up against the manner in which the con
solidation has been brought about. That
portion ot the people oi the great west
who reside aloni: the line of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific road, and who en
dorsed the action of Contrress in givirnr
princely subscriptions'to the Union and
Central Pacific railroads, did so with the
understanding that it was to bo an outlet
to the Pacific for them. Indirectlv, thev
will have railroad commucations with the
Pacifiie slope; but where will the bulk of
the traffic go? Certainly by the shortest
route. Now comes a point very well put
by a writer in the Chicago lost a few
days ago: 1 id Congress build the Union
Pacific road for the purpose of giving
Mr. Vanderbilt a mono poly of a't rank road
from the Atlantic to the "Pacific? And I
may add, did Congress in civing these
humeri e purchases to the Union Pacific
comnanv,eonteniplatj the enect .Mr. V an-
derbilt's schemes would have unon the
interest of the Northwestern and Rock
Island roads? If the Union Pacific di
rectory make working terms with Mr.
Vanderbilt to the injury of the North
western and Rock Island, is it not ihjs-
sible that the fi iends of these latter roads
in Congress will say: Mr Duff, managing
director Union Pacific we owe you 20,
OuO.OoO; your road is no longer a Na
tional highway but a private coporation;
Mr andenuit can take and run 3-c-ur
road and we will withhold the pavment
of the remainder of the subsidy. 1 have
already heard members of Congress sav
that if Mr underbilt trot possession of
the Luion Pacific company that thev
would urge and vote for rejmdiatiou of
the 20,000,000 still owing.
1 have leen asked bv some of vour citi
zens why MrWebster Sn vder was removed
from the General Suprerintendaiiey of
the Union Pacific road. I can only
answer that it was from no fault of his.
, 1 .1 ... , 1
.ir sniveler nas tne reputation ot oeinir
the ablest executive railroad man in the
United State. 1 lis management of that
immense road will f rm one of the brigtest
pages in history of the Great West. And
form the very fact that he was an able,
conscientious and upright man, was he
removed. He stood in the way of the
Vanderbilt monopoly; he refused to lend
it his sanction, but remained true to his
friends of the Rock Island and North
western. As a capable and far seeing
.-u; eriiitcnient h? knew that the more
connect ic n the Union Pacific road had
with the older States the more "liable it
was to prove a success. Hence Mr S
nv-
der's removal, and Mr Hammond's sub
stitution. In the latter superintendent,
protege of James F Joy and the friends
of Vanderbilt, the monopoly will meet
with no opposition, lie is rcpse-cuted
to be a verv e cct llent uITiccr, b it it is
well know tint all his sympathies

with the
roads.

The I'rui' Koute il Cnni.
From tlie liurlinstoa I! nvrkej e.
Messrs. Einits : Tne communica
tion to the Davenport Jounud, copied in
jour paper this morning, in which the
writer hints pretty plainly that Commo
dore Vanderbilt is about extending his
railroad connections somewhat to the det
riment of Davenort, will not much sur
prise acute observers, nor greatly shock
the general public, and particularly the
people of Darlington. Our citizens will
not seriously object if they find them
selves on the main trunk line between the
new Occcident aud the Atlantic coast.
They will be sure that this "new deal,"
if it turns out that it is a reality, cannot
do harm, but must certainly prove ad
vantageous to this immediate locality and
to all Southern Iowa, while there is no
lssibility of it doing injury to the peo
ple east of us The shortest route ought
to do, and most undoubtedly would do,
if business principles were allowed free
operation, the major part of the through
business ; and if', as the communication
to the Journal intimates, the route via
thiscitj- from Fort Kearney to all the
Fast, will be one hundr&l and forty miles
the shortest route, on what sort of mo
tives could any man be induced to ship
freight by a longer, aud therefore, of ne
cessity, a more expensive line, both in
tune and money? in the statement of
this simple fact, the writer makes it ev
ident that it is not Vanderbilt who is stri
ving t'. worn.' the public, but tho-e who
would interfere with and obstruct the
completion of a shorter aud cheaper route.
In one word this writer, who exclaims so
loudly against monopoly is plainly in
favor of perpetuating an existing monop
oly. He is outraged aud excessively ag
greived, and wants the people of Daven
jwirt to sympathize with his dis.interestt.-J
distress of mind because there is appa
rent dancer to his particular "ring."
Perhaps the people of Davenport will do
so. I think better of them ; but I am quite
sure that the great public will rejoice to
find that the "through iine" will be made
as short as possible, and as a consequence,
a cheap means of transportation. Ad
mitting it to be true that the threatened
combination would be a monopoly, which
it cannot be unless with the consent and
agreement of those who eontrol the ex
isting connections east of the one hun
dredth degree of longitude, it is evident
that its creed would be satisfied at less
cost to the public than at present, by the
expense of one hundred and forty miles
of road, and of the perpetual cost of
trans jKirtation that distance. So that in
the worst phase of the matter the public
will probably he benefitted by at least the
difference in distance.
But from some little personal knowl
edge of these routes, I think there is an
other decided advantage of the route by
this city. The distance is not only less,
but the grs-des are also better. Across
Iowa the B. & M. R. railroad has, I
think, an easier grade than any other
road either built or contemplated, and
from Plattsmouth west to the point of
junctioa witli th Union Pacific there ia
an unbroken natural grade on an almost
absolutely straight line, that cannot be
surpassed on any part of the, route be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific. This
also will tend to make the Burlington
route preferable aud cheaper, even in the
hanils of a "monopoly."
But there is and can bo no monopoly.
The Union Pacific railroad is bound to
make connections at the one hundredth
meridian with anv and all companies
which choose to extend their roads to
that ioinL If those who control the C.
B. & Q. and B. & M. R. railroads think
proper to extend their line to the point
of junction with the Pacific as fixed by
law, as contemplated by the law and
hoped lor by all sensible pe-ison., it seems
to me, and it must seem the same to
everybody, that, instead of creating a
monopoly they only destroy an existing
one over so much of the route. They
create a competition which now does not
exist, aud it does not scein to me that
there is any hideous wrong in the fact
that nature has made it practicable lor
the road that runs through Burlington to
do the work of transportation for less
money and in shorter time than any other.
It there be any wrong, the i-mu cor
respondent must ascribe it to nature, and
neither to V anderbilt or Jov, who, like
men of sound discretion, merely see their
opportunity and wisely improve it. If
that outrages our Davenport writer, what
sinners we all must be !
For my part, I must be icrmitted to
say, that no railroad extentiuu pleases ine
quite equal to this of the B. & M. R.,
and 1 shall lite it all the more it it be
true that Vanderbilt is the father of it
and intends to "push things" as Grant
told Sheridan. The interests he repre
sents assure us that when "pushing
things" is the order of the day, the work
will surely be done, and d4one quickly.
1 hat is just what is needed. 1 he tarthetJ
more they are of them, the better it will
be for the public. And I feel very much
as if it were my duty to congratulate the
rublic, and particularly the citizens fef
Jurlimrton, that the Northwester and
Rock tsland "monopoly" is sure to be
broken up, and that fair and legitimate
competition from the eastern terminus of
the Pacific road is likely in a short time
to produce its proper and salutary results
for the benefit of all, and in strict accord
with the purpose of the law which made
the construction of the line across the
continent feasible, and now a realized fact.
Perhaps Burlington may in time find a
pecuniary benefit from its location on the
shortest route. But whether it does or
does not, there are a goodlv numter of
old residents who, like mvself. will find a
satisfaction in the practical affirmance of
what we have held for year, to be true
that the shortest and best route for a
railroad from Atlantic eities to the Pacific
coast, must be found by passing through
our city. This is now asserted by our
competitors. It may be bad for them,
but is no fault of ours in solemn truth,
we cannot help it. whether we would or
woidd not, if we could. o. F.

Q. M. it P. R. li. The routes have
been sun-eyed from T'rownville running
west one via. of Nemaha City; the
other north around the bluffs to the bot
tom north of Brownville, thence via. of
the Distillery and London, to the Ne
maha River near Long. Bridge. Either
route is practicable and the grades do
not exceed forty feet to the mile. The
Nemaha City route, though three miles
farther, can be built for about the same
figures as the other, a tlcre are no cuts
or fills. The cost of the first ten miles
is in favor of the Nemaha City route.
The cost of each route to Long's Bridge,
whither both routes tend, is about the
same. We hope by next week to be able
to inform our readers more definitely as
to the chosen route, and what may be
expected so far as work thereon is con

We the undersigned citizens of the
city of Plattsmouth and vicinity, and
Policy Holders in the Missouri Valley
Life Insurance Company, recommend
said Company to all persons desiring as
surance upon their lives for the follow
ing reasons:
Life Insurance being based uon two
principles, Law of Mortality aud Rate
of Interest, and mortality being Ies in
the West where climate is more condu
cive to longevity than in the Fast, this
Company insures upon Lower Rates.
Interest being higher in the West than
in the East, it can give larger divi
dends. Dividends are chiefly from the
Accumulations of Interests vpon
Premiums Paid. Hence the Company
that loans its assets at the highest rate
of interest, can give you the largest div
idends. Eastern companies invest their
money at six percent., while this makes
itd iuvestuients at twelve per cent., or
more. The advantages of Western in
vestments to the Policy Holder appear
in the following startling figures.
Tho amount of $1,000 invested for fiftT years
at
6 per cent. Compound Interest is $ IS, 420 1
M " " - S -I't.fU'l 4)1
10 " " " SllT.M'M Sv
12 " " S31S.IAW Oo
Thus when an Eastern Company will
have realized $18,420 15 from a given
sum as a surplus to divide among its
lohrj Holders, TJiC Mimiri YaUcy .Life.
Insvranre. ( ompatty will have realized
$318,068 05 from the same sum to
divide among its Policy Holders.
The Dividends trade li this Compa
ny will exceed those made by Eastern
companies, in the same proportion as the
increase of $1,000 at interest, at twelve
per cent., will exceed the interest of the
same amount, for tho same time, at six
per cent., as shown in the proceeding
calculation. Hence, for the Amount of
Money eventually Paid, this Company
pays a Larger Amount of Insurance
than any other Company doing business.
The Missouri Valley Like Insur
ance Company is a young and vigorous
Company, vithout any impaired risks
on its hands. Older companies maj
have larger assets, they also have larger
liabilities. Their liabilities are in pro
portion to their assctts, besides having
among their Policy Holders many im
paired risks, -. e., Policy . Holders,
whose expectation of life has, or is about
expired, and are daily dying. Thus
there is a constant draft upon an Old
oinpanv that, according to the Law of
Mortality is not experienced by a Young
Company tor at least twenty-live years
after its organization. Hence, the 3Iis
souri Vallev Life Insurance Company
offers better security, and can declare
larger dividends under the "Contribution
Plan" than any Old Company.
Illustration. As an illustration of
the benefits received by the Policy
Holder in the Missouri Nalley Life
Insurance Company over other com
panies, we call attention to the following
examples calculated bv the Hon. Elizur
Wright, ex-Insurance Commissioner of
Massachusetts.
An endowment policy entered in the
Missouri Valley Life Insurance
Company for $10,000, at the age of
thirty-five years. Premium, $iJ4.'l,40,
in ten payments. The amount payable
to the insured, when he shall have
reached the age of sixty, will be. $00.
21 1 22.
In an Eastern Company for $I0.oo0,
at the age of thirty-five, premium $('01,
30 in ten payments. The amount paya
ble to the insured, when he shall have
reached the age of sixty will be only
$23,062 11; and this is an all cash com
pany. Iu a Note Company the policy
would be the same as when first enter
ed, viz: $10,000.
In the light of the foregoing statement
we cannot see how any one can be in
duced to insure in a ote Company, or
patronize any Insurance Company other
than the Missouri Valley. Why will you
insure in an Eastern Company, and have
your money invested at 6 per cent, when
it can be invested in the West at 12 per
cent.
Thus the Missouri Valley Ltfe In
surance Company offers you as rood
security as any other Company. That
vou can secure your policy at Lower
Rates, on Better terms, and receive
Larger Dividends, than in any other
Company, is admitted by the bc-t insu
rance Actuaries in the United States.
Hence, if you are already insured in this
Company, you are a member of one of
the best Companies doing business. If
you are not, and desire to secure a for
tunefor yourself or family ."the only sure
way ia to insure your life in the Missouri
Valley Life Insurance Company.
