BOSEWATEB, Fnbllsher HOWr zee corrjucx WAS KEPT. Nearly five years ago, Omaha en tered into a contract with the Union Pacific Railroad Companj-, for the purpose of securing the erection of commodious Depot buildings anu general offices m this city. By the conditions of this contract, Omaha obligated herself to donate to the Company, the lands now designated on our city map, as the Union Pa cific depot grounds, and the Com pany bound themselves to cause the erection upon these grounds, of de pot buildings and general offices, valued at not Ipsa than $125,000. Under the specific terms of this con tract these structures wero to bo completed and occupied within two years after the transfer to the Com pany of the titlo to the depot grounds property. And now let us briefly review how this contract was kept by each of these contracting parties. In other words, let us examine the manner In which each of them have com plied or have sought to comply with their solemn obligations. Assum ing that the contract had been en tered into in good faith by the man agers of (he Union Pacific, Omaha strained every nerve to fulfil her part of ths agreement at the earliest possible moment. Not only did her citizens tax themselues to their ut most capacity by voluntary contri butions, but they also assumed a heavy bonded indebtedness that has saddled a burdensome tax upon, ,the present generation and proved an incalculable incu bus upon Omaha's progress and prosperity. Does any sane man be lieve that Omaha would have as sumed these burdens without the repeated verbal and written assur ances on the part of the Union Pacific managers that they not only proposed to carry out their part of the compact to the letter, but that they intended to erect buildings superior to and more expensive than those designated in the original agreement. Thus Omaha was in duced by cheap promises and false pledges to part with her bonds and property. Patiently, meekly, and silently, aho ha for years born her yoke until patience, humility, and silence have ceased to be considered attri butes of virtue. More than two years ago, our citizens were regaled withmagnificent plans of the great Omaha .depot, that wa3 to be, and when these plans appeared in Cro fut's transcontinental "World, the measure of our ambition was brim ful and overflowing. Twelve months passed, and those plans Ww supplemented by others less extravagant, but more substantial. Those.plaBS have Jn their turn been admired, puffed and shelved. When Horace F. Clark visited Omaha twelve months ago our tdtjiwaw -received the most solemn ajwurances that these plans would "be practically executed 'within four months. Six monihs later we were MMixred Jiy Mr. Sickles that al JbtNigh it was too late in the season to complete tho depot and head quarters baUdings, w could rely sipea their completion during the patent spring. And now Presi dent Dillon desires us to be patient and all will be right. i uas Deen ine same olu song from Durant to Dillon, and who can blame our citizens if this song has lost its original charm upon them? "It wiH all eome out right," says ProsMsit DtHoo, but Omaha refuses to jUMsve this prediction until it efceelfce verified. nrMMeat Dillon complains about te heavy taxation, and yet he does aolvsessa Ie conprehehd that his compear Is the chief cause of it, both (mreedy and Indirectly. Oma--M -falrseay paid more interest upon her, Uakm Pacific indebted Bess the would have been required to bulM Meek depot and headquar-" ter bnMrsaifn. We are safe in another sreposition that Omaha would ie-ehty be willing to under take the brsJtding and completion of these. bveUtags 1b the most sub stantial pawner k the Union Pacific weald wsrreader the bonds, or re- funeLthsir, equivalent Agaia, U the Union Pacific had faithfully complied with their con tract, Omaha would to-day contain from five to eight millions more I "taxable property, and taxation would have been reduced in proportion with iBcreaeed property -valuation. Admitting thai the bridge tax is 'high, does not Omaha pay her pro rata 01 tne iransier rous? uue item alone -will illustrate this point When transferring atthis point was done byjteamferr3r,tP8 transfer charges per passenger were only ten cents; to-day they are fifty cents per passenger over the bridge. In making these comparisons we have no desire to create prejudice or stir up discontent The facts' speak for themselves. Omaha has dealt hon orably and fairly by the Union Pa cific, and it is but fair to demand that the Union Pacific shall be held to the fulfilment of her contract ob ligations. Refebrixo to the Grant-Sartoris nuptials the Hew York Herald de clares, "while there was a large party of .friends present at -the mar. riage, an abundance of floral tributes and a display of elegant toilets, as was very proper, ths event was dis tinguished for that republican sim plicity to becoming in the family of the first citizen of this Republic." And the Bee desires to remark if this be a sample of republican sim plicity the less we have of it in this oountiy the better for republi canism. Senator Tipton has again distingT uished himself by going back on his early record. When the people of Nebraska elected him to the United States Senate, he was known and recognized as one of the most vio lent anti-slavery, equal rights ad vocates. An o)4 school abolitionist, he was always ready to out herotj Herod, and nobody could be radical qnqugl) for him. Last Saturday he recorded his vote against equal rights, by voting against Sumnor's civil rights bill. British subjects are never with out somp cause for jubilating and illuminating. First pame the Bprr plan Shah, then the I)uciess of "Edinburgh ; still later the Czar of all the Russians. And now they jubilate because Victoria has reached another birth anniversary.

The Oakdale Journal advocates the establishment of a military post on the head waters of the Elkhorn, for the purpose of protecting frontier settlements. It is estimated that there are already 250 claims taken in Holt county, and the indications are that' 150 families more will move into the county between tb,js and. the middle of July.

GRANGE POINTS. AT HOME. The irjaterial for tho Grange pjavator at Bennett Station (Lan caster county) is now on the spot The county association of Paw nee county Patrons meets on the first Monday in June. The Otoe county Grangers have invited Judge Mason to orate on July 4th. The Grangers of Firth, Aeb., are agitating the proposition to build an elevator. The Douglas County Council of Patrons will hold an important meeting at Omaha Saturday, May 33th. The Nemaha County Associa tion P. of H-, will hold their reg ular quarterly meeting at Grand Prairie on the first Tuesday in June. Some of the Washington coun ty Patrons propose to join the Grangers of Douglas and Sarpy counties in the proposed Fourth of July festivities. ABIIOAD. Tennessee has 800 Granges. North Carolina has about 345 Granges. The Grangers in Coffee county, Tenn., are talking of building a cot ton factory. Some of the Iowa Grangers have adopted the practice of ap pointing one of their number as edi tor, whose duty it is to prepare a paper for the succeeding meeting. A Grange cotton tie manufactory is proposed by the Tennessee Patrons at Chattanooga; several other States indorse the project as a means of ridding themselves of a monopoly. A MisM-v-ippi Grange is offering $25 for the best cora and the largest number of bushels from one acre of land; $15 for the best nnd largest number of gallons from one acre of cane; and $10 for the largest and best hog of any age raised in Win ston county. The Grange store started last fall at Winona, Wis., has failed (lia bilities, ($13,000, with no assets); and a similar one at Owatonna closet! up after a loss of nearly $20,000. The honest stockholders snuff the vile odor of "monopoly" in those concerns. The Grangers' Union of San Joaquin Valley, Cat, for the pur pose of trade and commerce, and conducting a general mercantile business on their own account and for others on commission, has been incorporated. The capital stock is $250,000, of which $26,000 is aireadv subscribed. Stockton is the princi pal place of business, Tho Sacramento Council of the Patrons of Husbandry ha3 formed a joint-stock fruit-drying company, with a capital of $50,000 and will erect suitable buildings at once, so as to be prepared to go into operation with this year's fruit crop. It has been decided to procure five Alden fruit-dryers and set them up soon. The experiment of drying sweet po tatoes and other vegetables by this process will be made. " The Carson, (Nevada) Appeal. .says: "There is at any rate a move ment of the eranrers. whinh vuocii: wiiu measure; w refer to a certain activity displayed Dy enterprising men in plowing up and bringing: under cultivation ex tensive tracts of sagebrush land in the suburbs of Carson. It is really gratifying to notloo the rapid disap pearance hereabout of our aromatic plant before the a, plow and har row, especially along the road lead ing toward the State prison." The Rural Sun advises Patrons as follows: "Have no Grange can didates, but vote for the men who will do most to protect and foster agriculture, buf do not vote for one simply on the ground and for the reason that he is a Patron. The farmers and Patrons in -their indi vidual capacity, should use their in fluence to bring about a good return to the good old rule, 'the office should seek the man and not the man the office.' To pursue any other course will be to introduce strife and dissentions m their organ izations, and impair, if not destroy, the usefulness of such organizations, with no resulting beneficial effects. Resolved into a separate body, the Patrons would unify andstrengthen the opposition. Move slowly ; it is far better to hold on to what we have, than imperil it by trying to get more before we arc able to hold it. Agriculture needs friends, and friends cannot be won in the man ner proposed by some. NEBRASKA CHOP NOTES. Wheat and oats are looking ex tremely well. Lowell (Kearney Co.) Register. There will be raked over 450,000 bushels of wheat in Clay county, a fair harvest. Sutton Times. The report from all parts of the county respecting the crops are most encouraging. Saline County Post. The farmers in the vicinity of Pebble Creek are aboqt through corn planting, Ephraim Duey has twenty acres of Fall wheat, twelve inches high, and of course, looks well, Pawnee County Jiepublioan. Crops are nearly all in and the farmers begin to show themselves on our streets, again. Lone Tree (Merrick Co.) Courier. The wheat crop in Boone count-, is excellent. It cannot be beat by any other county in the State. Rather bold, assertion but neverthe less true. Boone County Xeiua. There Is now every indication of a large yield of wild plums this season. The Elkhorn river Is liter ally lined with plum trees in bloom. West Point Republican. Never since we have been a resi dent of North Nebraska have we seen such prospects for an abundant crop of wild fruit, and it is reaUy a pleasure to ride around and see the trees nnd Lushes In bloom. Dakota County Mall. Mr. R. Ashley and Mr, J. Creagon, from the reservation, re port the Orqahas to be very indus trious this spring. Their wheat is looking splendid; 300 acres of corn almost planted, and the Indians work without pay. Burtonian. This j-ear bids fair to be the most productive fruit year that we have ever ba.d. lu Nebraska. All kinds of fruit will be In abundance; the fruit trees are literally loaded down. Who says that Nebraska Is not a fruit State of the first-class Nebraska Press, We ouly hear of slight damage being done by grahoppers. There may be a few who will suffer where the pests deposited their eggs last summer, but generally we have a cheering prospect for a splendid crop this summer. Burtonian. Some one is raising four acres of strawberries this season on the farm of Hon. Win. McLennan, south of this city. Tho plants are now white with bloom and will soon be blushing with the ripened fruit Nebraska City Press. The grasshoppers have made their appearance at places in this region, and have already done considerable damage; latest reports, however, say that they are leaving or being consumed by tho large number of plover which are in this county. Fremont Herald. The amount of grain sown will excel that of last year by many hundred bushels. There is also a large number of hogs being prepared for market Taken in all we think the farmers are preparing to reap quite a harvest of greenbacks the coming autumn, if there be no pre venting Providence. Seward Coun ty Atlas, Some of tho farmers on the bot tom lauds are considerably behind hand with corn planting, having been kept back by the unusual amount of rain. On the uplands com is about all in and doing splen didly, while that which was plant' ed early on the bottom lands is looking full as well. Altogether evcryimng is ravoraoie lor more than an average crop of corn, and small grain will be greatly in excess of any previous year. Grand Island Independent. We have been through the coun try in the vicinity of this city since our last issue, and noticed the crops and talked with some of the farm ers. There could not be a more fa vorable showing forimmense wheat crops this fall than there is at pres ent and notwithstanding the back ward spring, farmers generally have their corn in, and some is up about ready for the cultivator, and there is no reason apparent now why the corn crop should not bo as large as usual. Tho weather -now is very favorable for corn and all other kinds of crops. Farmers appreciate the situation and their hopes are hie- Brown ville Advertiser. Fanners from all portions of tills county and south of the Plfttte all tell the same story. It is to tho efleet that the prospect for large crops of all kinds of farm produce could not possibly be bcttpr than it now is. Corn is looking finely and growing rapidly, and lit many localities it Is up so far that cultiva tion has already coinmnnwi vi..i has just tho anpe-nrance and is of the right oolqr, height and thieknoss necessary to insure a largo crop, at least o say the best judffus, Proba bly owing to the fact tha.t this es culent tuber has commanded an ex tremely high prieo in this market during the past season, a larger quantity of potatoes have been planted than usual. The early varieties are all up and look well, and the indications are that new potatoes will bo plenty in this market in the latter part of next mouth. Kearney (Buffalo County) Press. Never since tho settlement of our stale, nave we, at this season of the year had a better prospect for a rich harvest. It was late in the spring before our farmers could get at their work, but from the time the first furrow was plowed, which was nearly April, we have hardly had a day but what they could work com fortably and to advantage, inputting In their crops. In consequence of so large an amount of fall plowing having been uone, me wneat ana oats were nearly all in the ground by the mid dle of April, and the warm growing weather we have had since that time, has brought them for ward unprecedently fast. It is calculated by those who have been giving this matter atten tion, tnat mere is in this vicinity at least one-fourth more acres of smau grain m tne ground this year than last. The corn has nearly all been planted before this, and the most of it now showing itself above the ground, with every prospect of a good stand. If the crops that are now growing, go through until har vest, as they now promise to, the the graneries of our farmers will be filled to overflowing, and our State will take her place among the great grain producing State of the 2f orth west Fremont Tribune, The Oldest Established BANKING HOUSE tii KBBBASKA.
