OOR state board of equalization is entitled to free transportation for twenty five year * . The Union Pa- ci6c listed 227 acres of dupot grounds on their road in Nebraska and the board put a total valuation on it of 511,368. Fortyeight dollars nn acre would be pretty cheap for depot grounds in Omaha , where the City paid $200,000 for twelve acres when they donated It to the company. Tint Union Pacific attorney that edits the Omaha Herald requests THE BEE to correct its statement concern ing the exemption of U. P. property from taxation and we promptly accede to that request. The U. P. pays no . taxes this year on its depot grounds , machine shops and machinery , but it has graciously permitted the assess ment of its briiie. ; ; Why they have allowed this to be done when , under the infamous law passed last winter they could jmt as well have included the bridge with the main line and its road bed , is not explained. There is evidently a mercenary design - , sign in it. The bridge is now operated as part of the main line , and under the peculiar constructiun of Dillon's de cision , the company treat the bridgewe as a separate part of the road , which . enables them to exact about a milllion , a year in tolls out of the bridge. It will pay better to have the bridge taxed in Douglas county than to ad mit by not taxing , it that it is part of the main line and finally loose the privilege of keeping that robbers toll gate open. Inasmuch as the bridge is not in1 eluded in the main line for state taxa tion , they get rid of paying at least that portion of the tax which , if the bridge was properly asressod. would add 8500,000 to the total valuation of the main line in Nebraska.

Jf The promptness with which the ( Union Pacific organs apologise for , and defend _ the .s.OOO rip-rap steal and the Inipoaition ort common tii payers by the now ; railroadj law , shows that the -giant vmonopoly has been struckin a < vital part. After quoting the new law which exempts the depot grounds , buildings , machine shops .warehousas and other movable property of Bail way corporation * for local taxation. The Omaha Herald says : It will bo seen that this law pro vides for the pro-rata .assessment of- jail j shops and buildings , tr ck and grounds of railroad "companies. " That a to aay , the total assessment of nil the property of each line within the state is divided by the number of miles of road and apportioned to the various counties according to the itnount of road contained within each itriOI county. : In this way , if the law were strictly carried out , Dougl's comity would be considerrbly the loser and the outside counties would gain ! Under this law , the Union Pacific ahops . and depot buildings , in this city , ' have been taxed pro'rata. Now let us' see how much this pro rala tax affects the Union Pacific , ' and how the exemption in Douglas county affects outside counties. In 1879 , under the old law , which llrwed each county to tax depoi ijrniinds , machine shops and all per- eonal properly of railroads , Ihe toff ! assessed vnluation of the Union Pa citic road in Nebraska was § 4,723- 78C 20 i or SI 0,300 00 per mile.

In other words ] , in 1880 the road wa nssesse'l § 77,924.70 ' less than in 1879 , although the < company within the past year has improved Its road-bed , added to its rolling stock and equipments and incraaecd its eirniinjs. So that really tin state has lost by this new ases- ment and other tax pajors in every county I on thu line of the road are compelled tuf pay the tax < > s on propor- iy owned by the road which is now exempt.

Hall and Lincoln counties which was entitled to local taxes on m : < chino ahops depots ect. , are now robbed ol that tax and the general assessment of the road in these counties is consid- erably less. Until this iniquitous law is repealed there will be no loca taxes in Grand Island and North Platte from the railroad shops and depots where the company owns al most one half of all the taxable prop erty. And fitiJl wo are assured that tha U. J' . monopoly had no hand in injecting that crooked clause into the revised code. What was John M. Thurston doing down in Lincoln all the winter ? What were , other railway attorneys doint , there for we have net doubt that a ) , the monopoly attorneys had a hatid in that job. The B. & M. and other roads have , however , not been so materially bene- fitted. , The asEcssment of the B. & M. for 1880 is just two dollars per mile , lass than it ws in 1879 whci the assessment did not include depo grounds , buildings , shops , &c.

' It , ae'enis to be the general impress ion jiTthe money markets of .the east that'the tide of speculation In railway ecurities , mining shares and mer chandise , , will not rise ta the high- water mark of last year during the present season. The general-stock list is quoted from 10 to 25 per cent lower now than last December , the mining boom has quite collapsed , and the speculators in iron and" steel , as well . ast those in textile fabrics , breadstuffs and provisions , who went long in the belief that the fancy prices of last winter would be advanced during the present season , now mournfully con template their mistake as they search through the list of summer resorts to finda i , cooliii" place that will correspond spend in coat with their diminished financial ability. If their calculations had < proved correct they might have spent cho dog-d ys at Long Branch ar Coney Island. As it is , they will either : stay at home or seek the soclu Hion that some cheap nnd uncomfortable bit farm house grants. At first thought it may seem to some that the collapse of specul.ition Is a calamity . , but deeper insight will con vince any intelligent mind that it is really a benefit to the country. A year ago , when the railway and min ing boom began to attract gener.il at tention , thousands and trousands of people in all parts of the Union sud denly came to the conclusion that they < could make money moro easily nni rapidly by dabbling in stocks than by attending to their legitimate busi ness. So they drew their capital out ofnn the enterprises iu which they had imeited it to put it up in the form of iiinrginn " " purchase or sale of stocks of ono kind nnd another. As a rule , beginners invariably dual In the most unstable stocks , bccnne they always go in firmly convinced that they will win , and the more rapid and violent the fluctuations in any par ticular stock , the larger the opportunity for gain is , if ono only gets on the right side of the inirkut. Last year's crop of begin ners proved no exception to the gen eral rule. TJioy bought wild cat se curities which never paid a dividend , and in all probability never will prove a profitable investment , at from five to twenty times their real value , hoping to bo able to sell them again to other fools al ,1 handsome advauca ou thec'st price. Many of the o rash npecilators succeeded in securing large profi's on their investment , only to plunge in 'igjin on a J.trg r scale , taking greater risks in the hope of gathering larger gains. Others lost all on theic first venture , but it mule little difforenct ! whether they Lst on the first or some subsequent doa ! , as , iu the end , fully 95 per cant of the capital invested by outsider ! parsed into the hands of tha great opontrn , leaving Its original owners much poor er , if iut much wiser , for their ven tures. _ , It ] is easy enough to see how the in jury that was done to American in dustry by.tho speculative mania which sent prices of all kinds soaring sky ward during the closinsj months of 1 ist year. The money lost by the too co-.ifiding out sidera in stock specula t'on , as a m-itter of coarse , only changed hands without increasing or diminishing the wealth of the country in any decree ; but the fact that it wont from the pockets of the many to the bank accounts of the few , had a bid effect on business. It is better for a community to have 100 men with a surplus capital of § 1,000 each than to to have the whole surplus concentrated ' in the hands of one or two men and the , same principle ap plies with equal force to the country The people who lost their surplus neilth in gambling within the pat ye vastly diminished their capacity as consumers without increasing the cipactfy | for consumption of the hand fulmi of capitalists who pocketed the money. The advance in the price of iron and iron products was mainly caused ' by wild and senseless specula tion. ( While it lasted foreign dealers took advantage of the crazy which pos ssfsed our iron gamblers to dump thrir surplus storrs upon our murkel t large profits. The inevitable turn bio in pricej came aiul now the pros pect is that our iron miners and man- ufa-'turers will have dull times for two or three years to come , whereas , the speculative mania had been kept under proper control the American iron trade might have enjoyed a lonj , career of exceptional prosperity. What is true of the evil effects o ; speculation in stocks and iron is equal ly true of the boom in breadsttiffs anc provis'ons which closed tha markets of Eurrpe to our products for severa' mo-itha during the last half year. The recent fall in prices has had a good ef fect in vastly increasing our exports of breadstuff's and provisions , and the eiror committed in forcing the figures of these commodities beyond whal they should be will soon bo rectified. The collapse of the speculative boom will teen have the effect of making the volume of business , as reported from the clearing hou.-es , seem smaller this season thau lest , but the difference will be moro than wiLc apparent real. Legitimate business has not suf fered greatly from the recent decline ina prices , nnd in many of its branches inpe manifest improvement is already pe . The reports from the H en in all sections of the country sh that the harvest of 1880 will be un bountiful , uiid this , sifter all , is the inaimtay of our commercial prosperity. The farmer may got lower price for his products , and the laborer's wages may not be increased iu proportion to his desires , but the farmer will have plenty to sell , am : the workiugman will find work enough to do at compensation which , ifrei not princely , will at least bo fairly remunerative. ANOTHEB SCANDAL BDRIBD. OEN. CIAKFIKLD WHOLLY EXONERATED IN THE DR OOLYtR MATTER. Tbe Nation Iu i.rder to mike good the accusa tion against General Garfield the following - lowing must be assumed : 1st * Xkat the board contemplated at that early period of its as career violating the law prohibiting the making of contracts in It excees.pf and prior to appropriations. 2d. That it then contemplated vie lating the law restricting it to 80 ner cent of the § 4,000,000 loan. 3d. That then contemplated the violation of ing law limiting the indebtedness of district to ten millions of dollars 4th. That General Garfield had knowledge that the board so contem plated. In the absence of these assumptions case is iu brief this. The money the , long before General Garfield's employment , been provided by the al district government to pay for the improvements ; the prices to be paid been established ; no appropria by congress could have been in otic contemplation ; the question and the and only question was whether this or the kind of pavement should be used , and General Garfield , as an attorney , to argued in'favor of the De Golyer nat- ent.- . tra The imprunon has entered the pubtiv mind that the DeGolyec patent is pow worthless , but this wholly erroneous kn o one familiar with the eubjeethas laa questioned that itwas -was at least aa good ole Mother proc < -M of laying wttodan from pavenunta , and no question-of that ho1 has ever bean mad before tha lib coinmittte or elsewhere. Tne imsta pression , too , possibly prevailsthat here'was something fraudulent in the" contract ai to prices , etc. But this is wholly without foundation. > Theboard _ laving adopted a schedule of-prices eng before ' when the decision was made to lay this pavement to any extent - tent it was at the price already fixed , [ [ f any ' other pavement of wood had" been adopted in preference to this the price would have been the same ; so that tbe use of this pavement involved no more expenditure than if any other had been adopted. . . . General Garfield has been severely assailed , too , because he made no formal ar- pumont before the Board as a whole , and tHe inference has been drawn from this that he did not render full service for his , foe. But an oral argu ment would hardly have added any thing to the value of his brief , and having made the brief , wa think he was fully justified by forensic custom in think- in" that he had done enough.

A few daya ago , one of the seedies sort of tramps , seemingly about fil years old , attached himself to a free lunch saloon on Monroe avenue , am soon felt perfectly at home.

Ii tun minutes after the drinking hi * was excitedly informed that he hat : been given a large dose of morphine by mistake. A party was on hand to play doctor , and it was decided thai the trnnip must walk until ho over came the influence ; of the drug. One and another took turna with him umi ho had put in about four hours in tlio back yard , and ho was then told to walk in the country at least five miles iu to make his cure certain.

Neverthoteo less , ho returned in about four hours , „ lame in the left leg , covered with dus cat and apparently almost exhausted. He said ho had walked in vain.

Before they could protest he fell to the floor , breaking the back of a chair and upsetting a table , am after a few kicks he was dead.

TIio Ownership of Land. Sin Francisco Call. Many years ago , King Henry the Eighth , of England , confiscated the estates of Ronmn Catholic churches and divided the land among the fa- rorite1 _ .ofhe court. _ The land thus dividedjot comparatively little value then , is the basis of the WB lth of the richest nobility in the world. It is divided into estate ? of from 1,000,000 to 10,000 acres each , which returns to the owners from leu dollars to fifteen dollars yearly an aero It is in refer ence to land so acquired and so hold that the London Tiroes says owners will hold it a * , present rates whether fanners can afford the rent or not. The question , as it concerns the Unit ed States , is 0110 of warning rither than acluil present interest. Vast as some of these English estates are , they are mere garden patches com pared to some of the land grants made by an American congress to corporations In manj cases , these corporations consist of a few individ- ilalc , nnd in moat instances a few"in- divldunU own much the greater part of the stock. The courtier of Henry VIII who received a patent to 1,000- 000 acres of land s an evidence of his King's favor did not look forward to the time when that the land would yield his decendants a revenue of from ? 5,000,000to $10,000,000 a year. Neither does ths legislator who volei to vest in railway corporation 30,000- 000 acfeS of land look forward to the time when this land wil be worth $50 an aero , and be held in estates of one or two millions of acres each. Yet as large as this country is , Us present rate of growth indicate that land now offered for sale at $2 50 an acre will bo worth § 60 an acre before the lad of to-day will bo an old man. The consolidation cf * large tracts 'of land into ono estate and one owner ship 'naturally leads to a rapM ad vance in prices. If the agricultural land of England were to be sold with in three years in ten or twenty-acre lots , it would not bring nearly the price owners now placd upon it. Its value would then be largely deter mined by the capacity of the soil to produce crops. But in Eopland the concentration of land In the hands of large owners enables the land aristoc racy to dictatn terms to the tenants. It even enables them to maintain terms whioh it is arlmitte3 will cause tenants tolesvo the country. Such leg islation as land distribiiticu ignot for 1 day , but for a long time. The land once granted nnd conveyed cannot be revoked. It may be worth little when granted , but time rapidly gives It val uo. In this country , we have been over hasty in distributing our rich heritago. Our enterprise has grasped the whole continent in a single gener ation , and given the public domain tc private owners. The consequence will b that the second and third genera tions from this will approach the con whore the land owning aristocracy that if they cannot afford to pay the rent the land-owners establish they can emigrate.
