THE Herald still shrieks for a demo

one contingency under which the
demociata can walk into power in
Omaha , and that Is the most reckless
folly on the part of the republican
convention.
WE have alreadynoted the nomina

Mr. Somors was one of the few prom

lies in Gage county , and it is emi
nently fitting that his fidelity to the
element that elected General Van
Wyck to the JJniled States Senate
should be recognized. . Mr. Somers
was nominated by Mr. Hayes to fill
the vacancy caused by tha resignation
of Mr. Harrington. 'Thojomlnatlon
was referred to a sub-committee , of
which Senator Paddock was Chair
man , and died with the.session ,
because the Senator never re
ported It back. General Garfield re-
nominated him , and the nomination
was verjipromptly confirmed.

WHEN the Union FaciEc railroac
terminus was located at Omaha in
December , 18G3 , the managers of the
road demanded and procured as
bonus for locating their machnle
shops , headquarters and transfer in
this city , certain rights of way through
our streets , and a donation by the
city and by private citizens of large
tracts of lands on our river front In
addition to these lands many of our
liberal citizens were Induced to deed
to the Union Pacific lots and lands
adjacent to their main track between
the river bottom and the plateau anc
between Eight and Thirteenth street.
In due coarse of time the U. P.
manager ! complained that they hadn't
room enough for the transfer business
and more lota and lands were donated
by the city and by individuals.
Where parties refused to donate
grounds the company received orders
from the city council to condemn the
property for public use and gobbled
up the lands for a mere song. In
1870 Omaha voted $200,000 in city
bonds for the purchase of depot
grounds for the Union Pacific ,
and Douglas county bonded
herself for $250,000 additional , as a
bonus for the construction of the
bridge and the perpetual Maintenance
of the transfer business on the
grounds donated to the company.
When the Union Pacific came into
possession of the depot grounds the
managers securid an order from the
City Council closing up Ninth street ,
which was then a principal thoroug-
fare , and this street , which belongs to
the public , was monopolized as a
depot ground. Almost every
year -since that time the
great Anaconda has been winding
it's cell around Omaha by appropriat
ing more lands and more lots , closing
up allays and obstructing streets until
it hastbeoome a question whether
Omaha hadn't better deed the whole
city over to the Union Pacific and let
that company parcel out the property
to such oeople as are willing to be
come their tenants. The faithless
ness to contract obligations dis
played by the Unlon Pacific managers
towards Omaha Is notorious. All the
advantages of terminal transfer have
been taken from us , and the great de
pot which they agreed to erect on the
grounds donated to them was built
with the proceedi of our bonds on the
other side of the * river. The lands
given them for transfer facilities on
the river bottom have been leased to
the Smelting Works company , and lots
donated in South Omaha for similar

Buuirruin. oojwcriolnD leasing or sale
of grounds for factories and elevators
providing these establishments were
not hampered from patronizing
any other railroad that enters Omaha.
The attempt made last winter by the
Union Pacific to monopolize our river
front to the exclusion cf every other
railroad shows the spirit-which ani
mates that selfish corporation and the
dagger of allowing any company to
monopolize onr streets and alleys.
Next Tuesday our city council will
be called < m to act upon the proposition

itreets in South Omaha for the'exclu-
ilve connection between the main

and Indeed ho seems to have come *

* T. 0. Power , who had left Helena
in high dudgeon because the Ingisla-
tnre failed to pass a bill to make him

pissed between them is , of course ,
unknown ; but Mr. McDonnell turned
back and accompanied Mr. Power to
Omaha ; and no freight rates are yet.
offered. One of our merchants tele
graphed" the Union Pacific authorities
at ( Jmaha , enquiring whethee special
rates would ba given to Bozaman
merchants , but received a vague , un
satisfactory answer. The Inference of
our business men if , that the railroad
will refuse to grant Montana shippars
special rates this year , having made
Borne pooling arrangements with the
river-men.
If this opinion should prove cor
rect , it means , probably that Monta
na shippers will be charged regular
local rates on all freight. The local
rate is , on an average , about two cents
per pound higher than the rate given
the Bozeman merchants last year , and
a much more favorable rate was grant
ed to other points , notably Helena.
The shipment last year via the rail
road were , to the territory , 28,162,215
pounds ; to Bozeman , 3,108,470
pounds. A difference of two cants
per pound on this amount would coat
the territory nearly six hundred thou
sand dollars , and Bozeman more than
forty-two thousand dollars.
We can hardly believe yet that the
railroad men intend to apply the
rcrew In this way. Not that we doubt
their willingness to do so , if they
conld do it successfully ; but they
must know that they haven't got us
completely in their power , thanks to
onr old stand-by , the Missouri. Even
if Messs. Power , Biker & Co. are
willing to enter into a "pool , " the
river remains open to others , and it is
not so late in the season but that
Murphy , Neal & Co. , Klein-
schmldt & Bro. , Latnme & Co. ,
and other heavy shippers , could
charter boats themselves and bring
the bulk of their shipments up the
river. A round trip between Bis
marck and Benton may now be made
in about three weeks , and plenty of
boats might undoubtedly be had at
St. Louis at once. Some delay and
inconvenience might bo experienced ;
but we believe the result will ba that ,
the railroad and steamboat companies
would lose at least one-half of the
quantity of freight brought to Mon
tana , and they would thoroughly an
tagonize the people.
If any such project is really afoot ,
it will turn the attention of all still
more to the progress of the Northern
Pacific. Every milo built this summer
will bring the time nearer , when no
ono set of railroad magnates can dic
tate terms to us ; and for the control
of the Montana business , the direct
line of the Northern Pacific will have
such advantage over the roundabout
Union Pacific and Utah Northern that
there is but slight fear of any consoli
dation of the two.

is first to practice economy , and as
good old "Deacon Snyder" says , "It

enormous doctor's bills , but now I
have 'struck it rich. ' Health and
happiness reign supreme in onr little
household , and all simply because we
