We were not aware of the above
'state of facts , but we are by no means f
surprised at it. The rail way'msg- c
lites seldom pay any attention to eitl
their charters , and if some of them tlai
are bold enough to risk the building ai
of.a.road without A charter , they are aisi aig

It itfa downright Insult to the intel
ligence of our people' ' to charge th *
failure of Omaha * to match Kansas
City in population and commerce to
the C. JB. & Q. and Chicago and
'NorthWestcrn. If this charge indirectly -
directly implies that Om ha has been
dwarfedJn. . her growth by . the
refusalof these roads to
bring tbo'r ' trains into Omaha ,
the reippnsibility is not with these
roads but with the Union Pacific.
Every intelligent school boy in this
city knows that the exorbitant bridge
toll kept these roads from coming
"over into Omaha" before the infar
moua decision of the nephew of his
uncle Dillon , and the same policy has
kept them out of Omaha since then.
IT is not reasonable to-suppoee that
the O.f B : & Q. and NorlhweHern
roads would willingly pay an exorbi
tant tribute to the .U. P. at Omaha
when they could transfer freight and
passengers at Blair and Pbttsmouth
at a nominal expense. The B. & 51.
system now covers about 850
miles of road. It baa placed
Omaha . within competing reach
every important city and village south
of the Plalte , a region which had , up
to within the past five yeais , been
monopolized by St. Joseph , Kansas
City and Atchison merchants , and yet
Omaha hasn't contributed a dollar to
ward 'the B. & M. in the shape of
bonds or lands or tax exemptions.
Had tbe Union Pacific railroad com
pany carried out their solemn contract
obligations with Omaha , our popula
tion to-day would , have been more
than fifty thousand and no candid man
who knows'the facla-willdeny it.
PENSIONERS' BACK-PAY.
Under the actgrantinc : back pay to
pensioners , .which passed congress
twelve months ago , Thursday , July 1 ,
was the last dav upon which claimants
for arrears of pensions could present
their claims. According to the statistics
of the pension bureau there have been
filed since.the pitsage of the act , June
25,1879 , more than 180,000 original
Invalid and widows' claims. Of these
49,311 were filed Itst month. The
number of unsettled claims now pend
ing in the Pension office is upwards of
300,000 , representing claims aggrega
ting not less thau $300,000,000 for the
first payment. The average amount of
arrears paid to each claimant is $1000.
The number of claims which the office
is enabled to dispose of with its pres
ent force and under the present sys
tem , is about 2oOO , of which about
1,800 are passed upon favorably ; the
remaining 700 being rejected , and in
most cases presented again , and have
to be re-examined in many instances
several times over. These are often
allowed after being thus rejected. It
is estimated that if no more claims , of
any kind , were to be received , it
would require front twelve to fifteen
years to'dispose of the work now in
hand , under the present system of
operations , aud without a vast in
crease of force.
In addition to the work npon the
claims mentioned above , there is the
work upon increased claims , bounty

It will be remembered that Secre-
ary Sherman stated , immediately af-
er the passage of the arrears act , that
the measure would cost the government

Finance and Trade.
Boston Advertiser , July 2.
The close of the half-year is a suit
able occasion for a brief review of the
financial and commercial events , and
for a forecast of what may be ex
pected in the near future. The .year
1880 began during a period of remark
able and brilliant business activity
and promise. Daring the six months
that have since elapsed the , country
has passed throuch a season of sharp
reaction in all departments of busi
ness ; but the reaction now seems to
have spent itself , and a season 'of vig
orous recovery has set in. Prices of
goods , which were advancing in Janu
ary and continued to advance for a
month or two afterward , have 'had
a rapid and prolonged decline.
To a strong demand for consumption
and by speculators succeeded an al
most complete cessation of inquiries
for and purchase of goods , with ex
ceptions ia favor of some classes of
merchandise of steady consumption.
The stock marker , which is usually an
excellent indicator of the condition of
general business , proved to be so in
this case. A sharp and long continued
decline took place , not only in the
shares which have only a future and
speculative value , but in the most
solid investment securities below the
grade of government bonds. The
money market has fluctuated
wildly and widely. At the
beginning of the year it was working
into a * state of comparative ease , and
after a few weeks was extremely easy.
Then it suddenly grew tight , and for
a short time the rate of interest was
j
unprecedentedly high. During the
last two months money has been grow
ing more abundant1 , and can now bes
had at extremely lowrates. . Mean
while 'the other conditions have been
reversing themselves. The stock mar
ket has grown active , and all securi
ties are again advancing ; the demand
for good has revived not a little , and
the tendency of general prices is to
harden , if not to advance.
The summer season is not favorable
to very active trade , but there is now
a promise of more than usual business
during the warm weather , and of an
narly and profitable summer trade.
Let us consider the conditions which
determine generally the business sit
uation. The crops bid fair to be ex
cellent , ai good or better , on the
whole , as last year. They are not
beyond the reach of drought , or flood ,
or insect , but it would be borrowing
needless trouble to count upon a dia-
as'er. Cheap food is thus assured.
What the foreign market for our sur
plus produce may be cannot be known
at present , but we may be sure
that if the demand for food should be if
light , that for cotton will be , by that
very circumstance , improved. Then
we haye , in the returns ot railroad
earnings , a fine test of the ability of
the people to consume goodi ; and an
examination of these figures show that
never before was there so general pros
perity as now prevails. The demand
for staple manufactured goods is once
more steadily good and improving.
There is nowhere a lack of employment
for labor , and the' ' rate of wages paid
a guarantee against want in any
quarter , while it also cuts off to a
great extent the necessity for a waste
of public money in relieving those
who might , under other circumstances ,
have been on the pauper
roll. The events of the last
few weeks have reassured
those who feared a disturbance of our
monetary machinery from a drain of.
gold to Europe. On the first of the
preient month , when exchange'was .
"
advancing , and most of the" financial
prophets were preparing the people
for gold exports , wo gave reasons for an
believing that if any gold should be
token from us the amount would be
very small. It is now almost certain
that none will go. On the contrary ,
the price of exchange is at the present of
time in such a weak and declining
state jthat nobody will be surprised if
'money wereTo be' sent to us' within"
six weeks. But at all events we are
safe from a drain of gold , large or lie en
small , and no enterprise need be tii
abandoned by reason of any apprehen tiidii
sion of . diibo
money stringency. bo

There is no principle more fully ac
cepted by Engliahmen.in theory than
that a man may do what he likes with
his own. Put-thoroughly into prac
tice wo should find that the likes of
different men would very speedily
conflict , and then the decision as to
which is to have his own way has to
be given by appeal to brute force or tea
a court of law. But in the sphere
of ( speculation , at least , all may go
their own course without let or hin
drance ; and so long as'a bargain re
mains a bargain those possessed of
money may trade on the necessities of
their fellows to the full extent that
seems to them gord. To buy cheap
and sell dear in every trantaction is
the direct realization of the commercial
Utopia. He who is thus periistently
successful must of necessity be a finan
cial genius , and smaller people who
lack this divine faculty of accumula
tion by careful manipulation of differ
ences of value can but look on and
admire , whether their gaze is limited
by the range ot the cos ermonger or
extends to the .operations of a Roths
child. Nor is there any great- differ
ence between the class of intelligence
needed for. making profit out of a
barrowful of cpcoanuts or a
deskful of bonds. The capacity In
both ewes is of a very low order , and
mankind is no more careful to remem
ber . the dealings cf a millionaire than
those of the humblest tradesman.
The interest awakened ia always ternj
porary , though of course the envy
may be profound But of the incon
venience or even positive injury occa-
eioned by a successful coup no one
thinks ; and it is curious to observe
the conflict , or apparent conflict , be-
twean morality and economy in mat
ters where the .happiness , comfort
and even tbe existence of hundreds
are Involved. In a famine , for ex
ample , a regrater has bought up the
greater part of the available grain.
No more is to be obtained for a dofi-
jiife period. The food undoubtedly
belongs to the man who purchased it ,
according to all modern ideas. How
long is he to be permitted to hold on
in the hope of obtaining a higher
price ? 3Ien , women and children are
dying all around him , but the price
which ho intends to sell his store at
has not ydtboen reached , and he looks'
on , with indifference until he is able to
dispose of the whole at tbe figure he
haa previously determined. Suppose ,
then , that the majority , as has often
'
h'appeuod , executes rough justice ,
and in the end takes the
food for nothing , or at , any rate
for less than the merchant asked ,
is that { right and proper ? In India
on many occasions English officars
have thus in old days broken through
the rules of political economy , and
have forced the merchants to open
their pits and dispose of the accumu"-
lated food to the starving population.
But what was the result ? At the next
famine itrwas found that the grain-
dealers in the locality had not stored
at all , and the end was a far greater
percentage of mortality , as no other
agency had stepped in to supply the
place of individual greed for gain.
The Omaha Schools.
Hastings Nebraskan.
Omaha ia having one of its periodi 1
cal commotions over its schools. This
is partly owing to some deficiencies in
the school management there , and
pirtly to an inmate perversity in some
of the people , that are jot in their
element unless they have a row of c
some sort on hand.
There is probably too much theory
and too little of the right sort of
practice , too much figuring and too
little to figure about , too much shell
and too little kernel , too much rou
tine and too little life , in the superintendence -
intendenco of the schools generally.
They very likely need a little life , A
perhaps alittle thunder and lightning ,
of the right kind , infused into
them. .
But this isn't all the trouble.
Quite a number of the monied and
society men cf Omaha insist on send
ing their children off to distant or de
nominational schools , for what those
children might get , and ought to get ,
in a first-class high school , and the
board of education have never yet
dared to strike out and popularize it ,
and make it a school for the people.
Hence , it has been neither one
thing nor the other , and not much of
anything. Between this upper and
nether millstone , the high school has
fared badly. It hain't exactly bean '
ground , because it has never been
able to enlarge enough to be ground
much.It hasn't been so much crush
ed as suppressed not BO much sup
pressed , even , had no change to be
come big enough for * much suppress
ion. * . J.
Two things , therefore , seem to be
wanting there more life and rigor ,
more direct and practical work , and
entire overhauling of the high
school , and the fashioning of its m
course and methods , so as to make it
practically the college forthe common
people of * the city and adjacent parta
the state for such as cannot or
will not send their children abroad. in

SANTA OLA0S FOUND.
Greatest Discovery of tbe Age-
ff onuertuTdlgcoverles in the world have been made
Among other things where Santa Clan * stayed ,
Children oft ask If he makes goods or not ,
If really he lives in a mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pols
And suddenly dropped Into what seemed like thole
Where wonder.ol wonders they found anewland ,
While fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green , °
Aud far brighter skies than ever were seen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers ot exquisite fragrance were grow
ing around.
Not long were they left to wonder in doubf ,
beiue ; soon came they had heard much about ,
Twas Santa'Clans' self and this they all say ,
He leoked like the picture * ( see every day.
He drove up a team tbat looked very queer ,
Twas a team * f grasshoppers instead of reindeer ,
He rode in a shell Instead of a sleigh ,
But he took them on boud and drove them
away.
He showed them all over his wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men.
Furriers were working on haU great and small ,
To Bunco's ther said they were sending them all.
Kris Kingle , the Glove Maketftoldthem at once ,
All our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them suspenders and many thinrs
more.
Saying I alse took these to friend Bunco's store.
Santa Claus then whispered a secret he'd tell ,
As In Orcaba every one knew Bnnce well ,
He therefore should send his goods to his care ,
Knowing his friends will get their full share.
Now remember ye dwellers In Omaha town ,
All who want present ! to Bunco's go round ,
For shirts , collars , or gloves great aud small ,
Send yonr sister or aunt one and all.
