THE DAILY BEE.
H. BOSSWATSR : EDITOR'
THE prospect fsr this season's
according to our advices from
crops ,
Sioux City and Yanktoa , is not very
encouraging ia northwestern Iowa
and Dakota.
Tun senatorial dead-lock still con
tinues and us tre predicted at the
outett , the republican party as rep
resented ia the eenato is seriously Im
pairing the respect and confidence re
posed in it by the country ia the
quarrel over the petty offices now held
by democrats.
SIXTEEN years ego on April 14th ,
1865 General Grant received the sur-
rended sword of lite under the Appo-
matox apple tree. That historic
apple tree according to Robert
Lincoln , who , as a staff officer of
Grant's , waa present at Leo'a surren
der , has no existence except in the
imagination of the war correspondents
and painters of imaginary war scenes.
WJUTSLAW HEED and Gen. Sherman
are fighting over the battle of Shiloh.
If that great military snail General
Bnel had done hia duty and moved
prompt'y upon the main artery of the
confederacy , the Memphis &
Charleston rsilroad , immediate
ly after Grunt captured Fort
Donclson Gen. Sherman and White-
law Reid would have nothing to quar
rel over now. There would
have been no battle near Shiloh
and there would in all probability have
boon no elego of Vicksbnrg. The
confederates would never have been
nblo to concentrate at Corinth , and
the Southwestern campaign would
have come to a sudden termination.
TUB terrible condition of our streets
this spring i * the most powerful argu
ment in favor of pavements.Just as
soon as the water pipes have been
laid steps ought to be taken to pave
our principal thoroughfares. Before
entering upon an extensive syst cm of
pavements our city authorities should
settle upon thgmaterial with which
our streets are to ba paved. If May
or Boyd'a recommendations to widen
the sidewalks and deepen gutters are
to bo adopted , the grades on the streets
to ba paved will have to be re-estab
lished. There is no doubt that twen
ty foot sidewalks would ba the moat
ccoaomioal. The only question is
whether the change can bo
made without damage to brick blocks
that wore built to conform with the
present sixteen-foot sidewalk.
The costly experience of the prin
cipal cltifls where Nicholson and other
wooden pivomonts Itavo been used ,
has demonstrated that wood is the
lass durable , and therefore the
most costly paving material.
Granite blocks cut by machinery , are ,
the moat durable in the end ,
and the cheapest. The macadam pave
ment is generally condemned , except
ing for country roadi nnd streets that
are uot used for traflic. Our Farn-
ham street macadava shows that such
paving is little Letter thau none at all.
The only way to make that pavement
serviceable wtll be to cover the mac
adam with asphalt. That will make
a durable pavement , but when the
cost of the macadamizing and the cost
of the asphalt coating Is computed ,
the outlay will be found greater than
grauite blocks.
In Kansas City , where macadam
pavements are very cheap , they are
being torn up this spring and. stone
blocks substituted. In St. Louii they
have during the past eighteen months
baen experimenting with asphalt
blocks , compressed by machinery. It
is claimed that these blocks nre aj
hard as granite and fully as durable.
Being smooth on all aides they can bo
be taken up when worn on the sur
face , aud the blocks ore turned the
pavement is again as good aa new.
The cost of these blocks is , however ,
almost as great as the cut granite and
there is no economy in giving artifi
cial pavomants proferouca over the
solid granite block.
THE AGGRESSION OP MONOPO
LIES. )
A few days ego the Supreme Court
of the United States rendered a deci
sion in the owe of Wardell vs. Union
Pacific Railroad Company which
virtually confers upon that company
the exclusive monopoly of coal min
ing in Wyoming.
At-thotimo the Union Pacific road
was under the control of the Credit
Mobil tor ring , a contract was entered
Into by the company with Mr. War-
dell granting him the right to mlno
coal upon tha land ? within the Union
Pacific land grant limit in Wyoming.
After operating these mines for several - '
oral yean and incurring much expense
Mr. Wardell was forcibly ejected by
men in the employ of the Union Pad.
fie company , hia miacs were taken
possession of and have since boon
operated by an inside ring
made up of men who
control that corporation. Wardell
sought redress in the courts aud the
U. P. .cormorants pui in tha plea that
the contract with Wardell was void
because their Credit Mobilier prede
cessors had no right make such a con
tract , and the courts have sustained
them. Soon after "VVardell was drlren
out of his mines , other parties that
wcra operating coal mines in Wyom
ing abandoned their mine ? , and the
inner ring of Union Pacific cormorants
obtained exclusive control of the
coal mining business in Wyoming.
Thus the people of Wyoming and
Nebraska are tj-day at the mercy of
this giant monopoly , which by levy
ing the extortionate toll of one
dollar for every ton of coal it
transfer ! are the Missouri at Oma
ha and by it high freight rates
has forced the population tributary to
their rovl o purchase Wyoming coal.
Last sumraar TUG BEE called atten
tion to the schema whereby the Union
Pacific monopoly would tighten its
grip upon our producers by controlling
the entire jrain traffic , through oleva-
toraowseJ and operated by an inside
ring. Three days ago this scheme
assumed shsoe In the organization o :
jv company that is to construct a mam
moth elevator at the Union Pacifii
terminus on the east side of thi
Missour.
The following la the outline of thl
movement to organize a grain monopoly
ely as telegraphed to the associate !
press :
A meeting- the Council Bluffs
Elevator company was held here to
day with a view of commencing the
work of erecting an elevator at this
point at an early date , with a capacity
of 1,000,000 bushels of grain. A
board of directors , consisting of Sid
ney Dillon , of the Union Prcific ; M.
Hughltt , of the Northwestern ; Cable ,
of the Rock Island ; Thomas L.
Klmball , of the Union Pacific ; T. J.
Potter , of the Burlington ; Mr. Hop *
kins , of the Wabaah , and George T.
Wright , of the city , was selected , snd
the board elected Mr. Dillon preEi-
dent , Mr. Hujhltt vlca-presldent ,
and George Wright secretary anc
treasurer. Work en the elevator
will be commenced Inside of a few
weeks and will bo completed In time
to handle grain shipments this year.
It will bo erected naar the Union
Pacific depot.
Now what object have those railway
magnates In organizing this elevator
company ? Simply to control the en
tire grain traffic , to the exclusion ci
all private entsrpriae. Suppose other
capitalists should now undertake to
build grain elevators by the side ol
this railroad elevator ? What show
would they have for competition ? No
more than the parties who would be
reckless enoughto attempt competition
with the Wyoming coal monopoly.
And what does this grain monopoly
foreshadow to Nebraska farmers !
Simply vass&lage to the railway kings
who regulate the prices of their fpro-
ducts by regulating their tolls accord
ing to the amount they will bear , and
who will In the future compel farmers
to sell their products to the local
agents of elevators at such figures
as these legalized highway rob-
bera may BOO fit to offer.
With their Iron grip upon the throats
of the farmers the railway kings will
on due time onlarga their sphere by
monopolizing every industry that af
fords a field for their rapacity. If no
eteos are taken by the American
people for mutual self-protection
against the aggression of these mono
poliop , how long will It bo before every
tiller of the soil every mechanic and
every merchant will be
mere vassal paying tribute to
giasplng , selfish and remorseless cor
porations. Can our boasted freedom
and our republican institutions sur
vive when the people cease to govern ,
and the stock gamblcro who acquire
wealth by imposing arbitrary taxes
upon the country have absolute and
supreme control of ell the public
highways and our telegraphs , and
when they have unlimited power to
pillage and confiscate our farms bv
depressing the value of our products ,
destroy cities by laying aa embargo
upon their traffic , grant chartered
prl veleges to themselves by legislatures
and congresses packed with their
henchmen and dependants , and con
firm their titles to property acquired
by highway robbery through courts
presided over by fudges appointed
through their influence.

PJTT&BUKG , April 11. Suean John
son , a fine looking girl of seventeen ,
was arrested at the Union depot this
evening. She came to this city from
\Vollsville , 0. , last Saturday for the
purpose of entering upon a life ol
shame. She wae followed hero by
her father , a well-to-do farmer , who
was anxious to reclaim his wayward
daughter.
After her arrival In this city tha girl
took up her abode in a house ol
Ill-repute on Fourth avenue , and
this evening in company with anoth
er female called at the baggage mas
tor's office for her trunk. She was
confronted by her almost brcken-
nearteii father , who with tears in his
eyes , begged her to return to her
home with him. This she refused at
first to do , but after considerable per
suasion by the policomau who had her
in charge , she consented and loft on
the next train for her Ohio home.
The only reaion eho gave for her con
duct wai that she was tired oE the
country.
Hero is a daughter of a thrifty and
prosperovs farraar , denorting home ,
parents and relatives for a life of vice
and debauchery , bscauso she is tired
of the dull monotony of llfo on the
[ arm. Could anything be more
shockingly depraved ? And yst wo
are acEurod by sentimental men who
culti vat e long hair that tb o enfranchise

The recent issue of oichteen mil
lions of common stock of the North
Pacific company by vote of the execu
tive committee , afterwards ratified by
the beard of directors , may bo a legal
transaction under the charter , aud in
strict acctrdance with the plan of set
tlement between tha old and the now
management. Ana so far as the pub
lic ia interested In the contest
between Billing and his associ
ates in the present beard and
Ylllard and his friends in the
blind pool.lt is a matter of indifferouca
to whom this large proportion of stock
was issued. So far as the public it
concerned , it will faro just aa well in
0110 case as the othur. In both cases
the stock would have gone out with
out ever having H cent paid for It , aud
in the future-history of the road tbis
forty-nine millions of common clock
will figure as claimants for dividends ,
will decide the eloctiou of directors ,
and otherwisa take a leading part in
the destinies of the road.
It is a concern of the public , and of
Montana in particular , If our freight
and patsenger rates forever ara to be
burdened and augmented by having to
carry this dead weight of fictitious in-
debtadness. The government land
grant is expected to build the road ,
aud any deficiency from this source
is to be made up out of the earnings
of the road.
It is goin to make a vast difference
to us whether our transportation rates
are to be fixed on a basis of a capital
lock of twenty-five millions or a hun
dred millions. Upon tbe theory of
the managers the government subsi
dy of seventy-five millions worth of
land was a personal donation to the
few individuals who generously cffir-
ed to be nlmonors of this national gra
tuity. Equity will look upon this
whole transaction PS the administra
tion of a trust for public benefit , and
not principally for the benefit of the
trustees. Cjn there be any equity
in reqniring tha public and patrons
of the road , after having paid
in increased charges enough to
make np any deficiency in the govern- } jjj [
ment subsidy towards paying for the
entire construction cf the road , then
to go on forever paying dividents on
a hundred millions of nominal stocl
for which the original grantees had
never paid a cent ? It looks as if , ac
cording to the programme thus cisu
ally brought to public view , the stool
was intended to ba all water.
Instead of Tillard appl > Inj ; for an
Injunction , It looks as if the castodl
ans of public interest , the congres
atonal administrators of the publl
domain , ought to servo an injunction
limiting the final Issue of stocK to thi
amount of actual cost of construction
including Incidentals , deducting th
net proceeds of lands donated by gov
ernment. This would give our see
tion a cheap road , over which freight
and passengers could bo transports
at one-third the prices that must be
maintained to carry seventy-five mil
lions of watered stock.
It is tbo people along thaliniof the
road who buys the lands given by the
government who really pay for build
ing the road , and these stme people
are the ones that will bo taxed to pa ;
the interest on their own contilbu
tionsWhile
While wo do not share In much o
this unreasonable tirade against the
inflated bondholders and conscience
less corporations , wo still believe thai
the people have rights that are to be
respected as well. The old alchemist
studied long aud nosuccecsfully how
to manufacture gold out of substances
cheap and abundant. It looks as ii
the wild dreams and schemes of an
ignorant and superstitious ago were
outdone by modem legerdemain in
the manufacture cf valuable stocks
out of simple water. I looks like
presuming on the prerogative of the
Almighty to make something out o
the tioth ntr.
THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Hon. J. P. Wilson's Record on
the Issue The Bight of
Eminent Domain from
His Standpoint.
To the editor of The Sloui City Journal.
The nnnouceiueat of the candidacy
of Hon. James F. Wilson , "by au
thorlty , " for senator of the Unitet
States , had scarcely been made , when
a defense of his record as a lifelong
railroad attorney and champion was
alao entered upon , evidently "by au
thorlty. " That this shows peculiar
sensitiveness on this greatest aud
liveliest of the public Issues of our
times , trill not be disputed bj any
of Mr. Wilson's most ardent friends
Capable man that ho ia , he instinctive
ly adjusts his shield to the weak ant
unfortunate parts of his armor. It i
no TTonder that ha rushes to ealf
defense , against the anticipated as
sault of the people who engaged in
a desperate and critical atruggl
for the assertion and preservation
of their rights and powers. ITever
in the hhtory of the country have the
public corporations been ao exacting
so wary , BO eubtle and so powerful as
dnrini' the past ferr years. The race
effective means for achieving their
ends has been the acquirement ol
power in legislative bodies , and latter
ly congress has been one of the mos'
prominent fields of the operation.
State control of railroads has been es
tabllshed by legislation , aud the
courts have revised a long lina o ;
their decisions and interpretations anc
confirmed the legislation. About
twenty of the thirty-eight states ezer-
cisa local control through the com
mission system , and congrcis is otrug
gling to create inter-state control.
Vhllo legislatures and the courts
hare enacted aud affirmed this con
tro ] , and while congress at.the _ de
mand of thj people Is endeavoring to
enlarge and nationalize the'jurisdlc
tion of pr. tective law , Mr. Wilson is
the over ready and willing "attorney"
of the railroads in thwarting the
wishes and crying needs of the couw
try.In
In 1874 the legislature of Iowa en
acted the granger tariff law ; Mr. Wil
son opposed and denounced it , not BO
ranch on account of its notoriously
impracticable and unjust provisions as
of its assertion of the right of public
control in the interest of the people
aud against the extortions otrallroade.
Ia 187C the legislature considered
bills to repeal that hw , and it will bo
no news to any one in Iowa to n y
that every railroad man and influence
in Iowa was combined to aid in the
work. Nor will it bo newa to any ono
that James F. Wilson was the fore
most friend and champion of the
railroads in the struggle. As there
sue miny abler lawyers in the state
than he , it cannot ba said that
he WAS Eolectedt for thi * especial
work because of his superiority in his
profession. Evidently it was because
of his well-known views and consist
ent record on the rnlrcad sldo of this
question for a acoro of years. The
railroads combined to secure the repeal
of the tariff law to break down the
legalized right of public control. They
knew Ills carefully prepared speech ,
read from manuscript before the rail
road committees of the Iowa legiils
ture on the 18th of February , 1870.
and printed in full in The State Ilsg.
istor , asserted in various forms of ex
pression the absolute and indefensible
right of railroad corporation * to con
trol their roads as private property.
Hero is an extract from the speech :
The state does not exercise the ripht of
eminent domain for the benefit af railroad
companies , but for its own advantage and
the promotion of the public good. It
could not eiercijc it for the private inter
ests of the stockholders in railway corpor
ations , for that would contravene the con
stitution. If exorcissd at all it must be
for the public use. The effect of the ex-
; rcise exhausts itself when the work hai
jcen constructed and its Advantages re
ceive 1 to the state , and ia no manner oper
ates to change the business of railway com
mutes from a private to a public chanic-
; er.
er.This
This ia the old Dartmouth college
case , amplified and case-hardened. It
asserts that the right of eminent do
main is limited to the public grant rf
so much laud to a private corporation
for public uio on whatever terms the
company may imposa. It asserts that
any right of legishtive control ceases
absolutely when the granted right of
way is occupied with the road. It de
nies the existence of any surviving or
continuinR sovereignly in the public
over the corporations. It aiserts the
practical severauco of theco corpora
tions from all aavo the police power
of the state , and the establishment of
; helr independence ; it declares pub
lic sovereignty in a matler of univer
sal public interest has been allicnated ,
[ t changes the relation of creator and
creature , making the corporation tha
master and the people the slave. It
subjezts the public welfare , for which
alone governments are instituted , to
the c.iprica and interest of combina
tions of individuals and organized L
wholly for purposes of gain. It
overturns the entire
theory of gov
ernment cf the people , by the peo-
pie , for the people. It tbdlcates
Bovere'gnty , and enthrones monop-
oly.Mr.
Mr. Wis5n ! emphasizes his wonder-
ul philosophy by this additional ar-
pument , which I extract from thn
earce carefully prepirodepoach :
Peihapj the greater portion of the rail
way lines in this state are constructed over
ights-of-way presented tj or purch .Bed by
he sereral companies owning them. In
uch cases the ai'l ' of the right of eminent
lomain has net been invoked. Private en-
erpjise and capital have doni the whole
K-ork. What shall we say of the business
Conducted over such portions of our rail
road. ? Is it public or private business ? :
f the exercises of tha right of eminent
Jomaiu gives a public character to th
business , does not the absence of the U3' '
of that right leava its private character ?
* * Does not the absurdity of the cas
thus presented of itself ehow that tl
right of eminent domain has no sue ]
effect upon the nature of tbe business as is
claimed for it ?
Mr. "Wilson ought to know thatthe
lair of eminent domain is alway.
strictly conntrned. Every espressec
or implied condition must ba literally
enforced. Hla theory , which be has
imbibed from life-long service for rail
road corporations , is that a grant ol
privileges undet the law of einiuen
domain carries with it the primary
sovereignty of the Etate or people
tsnd from this monstrous theory ho dc
dacea his monstrous conclusion tha' '
the railroads have the right to man
age thsir corporations without let or
hindrance ; that interest , cr caprice
or both combined , is the only law
that can reach them. From beginning
to end this speech is of a pleci
with the above extracts. Ill
commons on all these questions anc
for all the years of his public life are
of like import. Are they such aa tli
people of Iowa wish to have repmant
ed : utd advocated in congress ? D
thry want this moat prominent rail
road lawyer in the whole west to rep
resent them in congress whore the
great mass of the American people'are
now looking for relief ? Mr. Wilson'
friends insy , "iy authority , " possibly
Uud something among the many utter
accea of this man for many yearapas
in some email way modifyiug these
general y'ewa ' which have been thi
theoiy of his life. But they canno
reverse the record of a life of profes
sloual devotion to the railroad side o
the great railroad problem.

STEAM HEATING.
WHAT THE DENVER COMPANY DAS
BEEN DOING TUC PAST SEASON .
Dcnvtr RepallicMi.
List year , soon after the journals
of the city urged the capitalists of
Denver to beat the city with steam on
the Holly system , a company was
formed. The necessary works were
crectod and maius laid , and on No
vember 5 , 1880 , the company com
menced furnishing steam. Tf-ere was
only one consumer at firat , but grsdu
ally moro takers were obtained , until
to day the company has about sixty
consumers who use the steam for
heating purpose ; , and they alao fur
nish steam for ten engines , tlavatora ,
etc- .
The plant has "been constantly in
creasing. At first three largo boilers ,
5x17 feet , were used. Since tlun
, hroo more of similar dimensionshave
jeen placed lu the boiler houo. Over
wo miles of mains have been laid
hrough the streets of this city , and
one , and probably two , miles moro
will bo put down durinij the present
saason. The Deliver pi nt has been
substantially and properly coi structed
and the management has been honest
and economical , and the stock- B
ioldors are satisfied with their in
vestment. True , the company has not
is yet made any money , excepting
during the mouth just paet , but they
laro done one great and important
blag have shown that they can fur
nish steam to i/roperly heat buildings ,
n the coldest of weather , at poinia as
remote as a milo froai the boilere.
All that remains to bo done now is to
wait for the natural increase in tbe
number of consumers. It H believed
.hat the ccuBiiiuera will augment dur-
