It appears that it was 110 s'oady fire that wa kindled , and over which we warmed ourselves , but a flme of shavings that has died down after a few months' blaze. The trou ble has been that we have been in too great haste to get rich , expecting to ride to pro'spority at express rate. During the daja of depression al c'uses Buffered so much that they caught at the firat signs of increased prosperity , and resolved to make up for lost time. But unfortunately the business boom was started by railway kings on a epcculit'on , and our seem ing prosperity was consequently arti- fic'al Those capitalists gave largo or ders for rails and iron and steel , which buoyed up the market so that they c' uld unload and mafco money by the operation. The result attained is that fictitious values have been created and prices for everything are far above wh t they should be. Many saw what the consequence of all this would be , but the majority of people wore slow 11 believe that it was wholly duo to iha managers of monopolies that high prices had been reached. They learn the truth all too late , and aa & consequence quence failures in several cities , notably In Louuville , Ky. , and Milwaukee , VTis. , have been heavy. Although the temporary inflation has been checked the decline in many im portant branches baa not yet reached the required point , and this must como Icfore we can reasonably hope for stability in trade. Whether the check that his been given the busi- new "boora" will b lasting or not rests solely with us , for each is re quired to see thit he live within his moms. There is much in the present tendency toward extravagance to remind one uf the state of business in 186G , but the leison of the past five years ought to make the American people more cau rP tious and prevent a recurrence cf P commercial disaster. c THE Chicago Tribune of Tuesday dti cjntains the following significant edi torial : a Gov.

M Sector Login , Jdij THE SMELTINOf WOHKB STBIKE The strike of the men who are cm ployed in the Omaha smelting work is in many respects deplorable. The closing of the works by the proprie tors entails serious loss on them am the enforced idleness of nearly two hundred working men , de prives not only the men whi are in the strike of their earnings , bui aho seriously affects the business o our merchants , who depend on the pi ironjga cf these working people. On the one band , the men engaged in this strike maintain that they are under paid , and cannot , in view of the re cent rho in the price o provisions , clothing and rents make both ends meet at the wages paid by the smelting works proprie tors. On the other hand Messrs Balbach , Mead and Nash maintain that they ara paying all they cm af ford to , and would keep their works closed for the season rather than sub mit to the demands of the strikers , Now , we have a suggestion to make to the parties to this deplorable contro versy which we confidently believi would , if acted upon , put an end to the strike without impairing the rights of the workingmen to remuncra tive wages or force the pro prlotors of the smelting works into a concession that would be humiliat ing. ing.Wo Wo suggest that this controveray bstween capital and labor be sattlec by arbitration. Lot the workingmen select cne man to represent their interest , the smelting works pro prietors chowo another to represent ther interests and let the two arbitra tors choose a third. Submit all the points tt issue to thesa three men and let their decision be binding on both the workingmen end the smelting works proprietors. This is not only a legitamaie but a fair methol of settling such issues , and if oursug estion is prompt ly acted on the smelt iug works will bo in full operation within the next forty-eight hours , and the men who are now on a strike will ba at work. PADDOCK'S BOOM. . The Hall county delegates to the state convention have unanimously agreed to Eead Senator Paddock to Chicago at the head of the Nebraska delegation. This is eminently in ao cord with the eternal fitness of things , and we presume ii the ini tial wave of the boom that mil return Mr. Paddock to the United States Senate for another erni. Mr. Paddock has laid down his wn platform and if Tie send him to Chicago , wo may rest assured ho wil rote with the winning man. That was the platform on which he elected to the United States sen- ite. He was pledged to suppoit the pirly in power. If the republicans controlled the federal patronage he nras to remain a republican , but if the P lemocrats captured the white house lie was to flop and support the democratic administration. Paddock is f pre-eminently a practical statesman. He always looks after the loaves and n 6slits and always disposes of his wares in the public market to the highest bidder. Principles are a secondary consideration with him when weighec in the icale against plunder. If Ne c braska republicans areselecting a dele gation for Chicago instructed to jump with the cat , by all means let Paddock go as their chairman. The Wnirlpool of Journalism. C. T.

In a comprehensive article upon th railroad situation and upon the im perative necessity of regulating th carrying ; trade of the country by pru dent and wholesome national legisla tion , the Philadelphia Press says : Thescatteredrailroads [ of the country are gradually falling into another of i few vast systems.

But with the corrective influence ol sompetition withdrawnthey | are left ia ho undisputed possession of a mighty md irresponsible power.

There is a general stagnation at the rolling mills in the Shenango Valley , Pa , Most of the Pennsylvania steel mills arc full of orders , which cannot be completed until the early fall months. Thirteen thousand tons of iron ore shipped from Spain , and recently ar rived at Baltimore , are being shipped to the Edgar Thompson steel works , at Braddock , Pa. Twenty one hundred hands are em ployed at the different works of the Bethlehem ( Pa. ) iron company. The average da'ly ' amount of * teel made at these works is about 400 tons. The cotton-seed oil mill at Little Rock , Ark. , is the largest of the kind in the world , and turn * out daily 150 barrels of oil , 50 barrels of soap stock , and 450 oil cakes , requiring 150 tons of cotton-seed. Wilmington , Will county , ( DL ) has in process of erection a factory of table and pocket cutlery which will employ fifty men. Ex-Gov. Claflin , Massachusetts , with other eastern capitalists , intend building a cotton Factory at Wilmington also , to have a capital of $260,000 and to employ several hundred hands.

Thirty-three months ago , one , Mr. Harris , built the first cabin on a nice plain , gently sloping towards the setting eun , 10- 500 feet above sea-level , near the centra of Colorado , fifteen miles cast of the continental divide. The place is barren , devoid of vegetation , ex cept pine , desolate in the extreme , not even hanJuome scenery surrounds it , except the everlasting suow on the mountain peaks , _ in a climate having eight months of rather severe winter , and four months of Indian summer , where frost nnd snow is liable to oc cur at any time in the year. Tha * plica is now called Leadville , nd is the wonder of the nineteenth century. It is unquestionably THE HIGHEST , THB FASTEST , THE LIVE LIEST , and the gayest city under the sun , with a population of 30,000 , ith the ars and improvements of a city , she boasts of n mile and a half of pvred streets , a complete system of water and gas works , fire-alarm tilegraph , telephone with nearly 700 subscribers , five banks doing a rushing business , four live daily papers , five theaters among the number the finest opera house in the west ; a number < < f splen did business blocks , good public schools , three hospitals , six churches ; a : ity government protected by twen ty-six policemen , several first-class betels , more than 150 rest mrants and boirding-houjei , fourteen brick-yards an ! aa many siw mills and lumber- yaris ; five machineshopboiler ! shojs and foundry ; three breweries , hundreds of capitalists , speculators , sharpers , many substantial business men , full of push and energy , as also a large number of the most worthless of human beings.

Mote than one hundnd paying mines , extracting over 10CO tt.nj of ore pjr day , and employing from five to six thousand men , at ? 3 j er day for eight houri * work ; fifteen j-melters with for'y-one furnaces , crnptojing more than six hundred men , at fixin $2.50 to $3.50per day , i-nd turning out abunt 312,000 worth of bullion per day , or ever $360,000 per month , the largest of any one camp in the woild ; about one thousand men engaged in the wood camps , in burning 40,000 bushels of charcoal used daily by the smelters , and getting timber and wood for the mines , saw mills and the city ; the large influx of immigration , not less tnan 200 per day , some coming to stay , others to go into Gunr.iion or the surrounding camps ; tha large number of mechanics employed in building up the city at the wonderful rate it has and still is progress ing ; the wholesale trade of the neighboring camps ; the t jurist ? , ets. , all go to make Lead- ville what to all appearances she is the liveliest city on the continent. Leadville is not only building up her self , but Colorado and ether place ? . Denver has more than doubled in pop ulation and wealth since the Leadville mines wore found. Very few over intend to make Leadville their perma nent home as it will never bo n desirable place to live on account of being ' TOO NEAF. HEAVEK , ' . too barren and desolate and too severe climate , hence the majority of fortu nate men who have made thcr stake will go to Denver or elsewhere and in vest their money. The climate is rather severe The summer is plearant , very much re sembling the months of October and November in Omaha , while the win- tar never gets extremely coldbutlocg , steady froit and heavy snow-fall. The prevailing d'seases are pneumonia and rheumatism. The place is not a sickly one , but the death-rate is large , as so many are ncceatarily very much exposed - posed by working in wet mines , poi sonous smeltera , wood and lumber camps. camps.THE THE STREAM OF EMIGRATION out of Leadville now is principally to Gunnieon county , where several new camps are springing into exhtonco. A rich strike made anywhere will make a town of several hundred pejple in a month , and a second Leadville will yet be found in Colorado. THB SOUTH FASK RAILROAD is now to Beun * Vista , in the Arkan sas valley , forty miles below Lead ville ; from there the passengers mu t take one of the twenty daily stages to Leadville , and from there every ar ticle of provisions , machinery , and everything used in Loadville and neighboring camps , bai got to be transported in freight wagons , mak ing an almost continuous line of wagons on the road , frequently block ading travel in the narrow passes so that stages will be delayed for an hour or two at a time. WHO SHOULD GO TO COLORADO. I would only advise young men with ambition and a will behind to go there or men with capital and mountain ex perience and females wishing to get married , as they will find a splendid matrimonial market in Leadvillo. Female labor of all kinds command high wages , but any ono doing well where they are should remain as they do not know if they will better themselves or if they can live so near heaven. Many take sick the first day , and had better leave , as the chances ara gainst their recovering in Leadville. Property in the business portion is very high , but in the residencs part of the city it is quite reasonable , but renti are simply enormous , stores 22x 80 renting from § 150 to $300 ner month , and offices from $30 to $100. Anyone building a house expects to fete get his investment back in less than two yean. Building material is very irigh , but provisions and clothing era luite reasonable. OMAHA.

TJogan , however , has had a more difficult task before him in Illinois , and it 'ia clear that he cannot deliver the solid delegation of thtt state.In addition to the votes of these three great com monwealths , they had secured the promise of the solid carpet-hag vote of the south ; and with sack a force to march into the convention they were certain they could carry it by storm and nominate Grant on the first ballot amid a hurricane of applause. They were so sure of success that they openly defied the well-known senti ment of the mass of voter * against the third-term scheme ; they felt 10 strong in having the delegates instructed for Grant or the unitruleai tomaketh'era indifferent to what the people thought or wished. But during the- last few 'days all three of these senators have felt it necessary to have themselves interviewed , in order that they might protest that'their conspiracy against the popular will was never so vigor ous. The truth is that it was never so weak ; that it staggers to the ground , while the machine creaks and groans , and the wise leaders get from under in fact , bolt. The Power of Kallroada. Ban Francisco corrwpsndence Chicago Tribune. A learned and high authority on the subject of railroad transportation , not long since , summed up the situ ation as follows : Three men meet in a room in New York. They are not called kings , wear no crowns , and bear no eceptres. They merely represent trunk lines of railway from the Mis sissippi to New York. Other points aetiled , one says : "As to the grain rate shall wo make it 50 from Chicago cage ? " "Agreed ; crops are heavy , and we shall have enough to dp.1' Busi ness finished , the three enjoy sundry bottles of wine. The dally papers presently announce- that "the trunk lines have agreed upon a sched ule of rates for freights , which is , in effect , a trifling increase on grain , from 45 to 60 cents from Ohicigo to New York , with rates to other points in the usual proper tion. " The conversation was insig nificant the increase trifling. Butte to the farmerj of the northwest it means that the will of three men has taken over $30,000,000 from * he cash value of their products fcr that year , and § 500,000,000 from the actual value of iheir farms. The conversation is imaginary , but the startling fscts up on which it is basrd are terribly real , as western farmers have learned. The few men who c ntrol all the great railway lines have it in their power to strip Western ag riculture of all its earnings not after the manner of ancient highwaymen , by high-handed defiance of society and law , the rush of swift steeds , the clash of steel , and the stern "Stand and deliver. " The bandits of modern civilizition , who enrich themselves by ihe plunder o ! others , come with chests full of charters ; judges ara their friends , if not their tools ; and they wield no weapon more alarming lhan the little pencil with which they cal culate differences of rate , apparently so insignificant that public opinion wonders "why the farmers should complain about such trifles. " The extraordinary growth of the Wabash system , and union of its int < .reais with thoie of the New York Central and the Union and Central Pacific sjrstemr , since the above para graph was penuerl , have formed a still more gigantic combination than any which bVoro existed ; and the des- p'-tic assertion of Louis XIV. , that he is tl e State , was not urged with greater arrogance and confidence than the c'aiins of the railway magnates that theirj is the absolute right to control the carrying trade of the continent , and tint their power is beyond that of human law. Exhorbitant ratea for freights and fares ; discriminations aa belweeon individuals ; the building-up of one town and community at the expense of another ; the making of contracts prejudicial to the public ; blackmail in obliging shippers to eend by one route rather than by another ; gigantic combinations in the interest of a favored few ; the rebate system ; the issuance of false stock , these are some of the cvila with which the pub- lic.are inflicted , nnd for the reforma- lion of which measures are every where demanded.
