REMARKABLE IMMIGRATION.
Immigration to this country for twc
years has been increasing to a marvel
lous extent , and by the close o ! thi
present year it will be far beyond wha' '
it has ever before been In oni
history. Careful estimates made b ]
the New York Commiuionen of EmI
gration abow that between 400,00 (
and 500,000 souls will land on om
shores this year and remain as perms'
nent settlers. Frcm the let of Jan-
nary nntil the 19th of April ,
over 80,000 arrivals were re
corded at Castle Garden alone ,
an Increase of more than 25,000 over
the same period but year and more
than the total emigration for either oi
the entire years of 1876 , 77 or ' 78.
On one day 'last week 0,891 immi
grants were landed and every resource
of the officers at Ctstle Garden is
strained to register and forward to
their destination the crowd of eager
foreigners who are dally landed InNew
York.
Nebraska hu utterly failed to real
ize the great importance of the mighty
tide of immigration which is pouring
npon onr shores hundreds of thoesands
of able-bodied men and women ,
[ leaving their homes across tha seas ,
Ihey have come to aid in opening up
and developing the resources ef onr
states and territories , and to add to
the material wealth of the whole na-
, ion. Political economists place ? ! , -
K)0 as the lowest money value of an
mmigrant to a new agricultural com-
mnnitg. Some contend for $5,000.
When it is remembered that during
ut year , alone , 327,371 immigrant
passengers , representing $325,000 in
money , landed at Cattle- Garden ,
we can form some idea of
he Importance of encouraging
mrnigration to our state. This cal
culation , besides , leaves entirely out
of account the money which the new
ettlers brought with them. Statistics
how that the average of property
irought over by German families is
51,200 , Lut week in New York one
German-American banking house paid
out over $200,000 in bills of exchange
tojiteerage passengers on only three
German steamers.
For more than three years THE BEE
las urged upon Nebr&skans the im-
> ortance of using every effort to divert
o our borders a portion of this
mighty tide of wealth which is
> eating on the eastern shores of
the continent The Inaction of
onr last legislature in the matter was
nothing less than criminal. Other
states are straining every endeavor to
ay before the newly arrived Immi
grant the resources and advantages of
their unoccupied lands. Kansas , Da-
tola , Iowa , Minnesota , and the south
western country are particularly en
ergetic. Nebraskais dependent alone
npon her railroad companies who have
undoubtedly done geed service'ln set
tling up their lard grants. But those
land grants are gradually growing
smaller and In the meantime l.u _ .
dreds of thousands of acres of as
fine lands as this or any country
can showlie idle awaiting the plow of
the settlor. The labor of advertising
Nebraska's advantages as a field for
settlement should not be lett alone to
the city dailies or the rural press.
Neither of theio agencies have refused
to do thelrntmost on this behalf and
the state at large OTTOS them a debt ct
gratitnte for tneir services. What is
so much to the interest of the elate
should long aince hsve been done by
tbo state itrelf. And in the unequal
raca which we are now running for
our rightful share of-foreign emigra
tion the state legislature has itself
alone to blame.
CHICAGO , once more ahead of her
eastern sisters , is about to enforce a
radical change in the system of tele

lines of wire are to bo erected , and
those already existing are to be put
under ground by M y 1 , ' 83- The rapId -

problem on the attention of cities.
Hitherto the problem of greatest dlffi-

ROBBED BY THE ROCK ISLAND
ROAD.
To the Editor oi Ihe Bet :
Your exposure of the unjust prac
tices of the railroad monopolists npon
the people , and your vigorous cham
pionship of all just rights of the'peo
ple in the premises , induces me to
send you the following facts of ono of
their unjust transactions :
On or about October 5th , 1880,1
contracted with the Rock Island &
Pacific railroad company for one car
from West Liberty , Iowa , to Beatrice ,
Nebraska , to carry live stock , house
hold goods and provisions , having
abont one car load in all. I afterward
fonnd thay would allow only six head
of stock per car , while I had nine ,
eight head of cattle and one horse.
The freight was to be $74 per car.
I then proposed to tha agent of the
road at West Liberty , that I would
take two cars at the same rate
if he would allow me to fill
up with apples in barrels , sufficient to
make the two car loads. He assented
and furnished the c ra. I loaded np
and started from West Liberty Octo
ber 7th and reached Beatrice on the
evening of the llth. I had paid to
the agent at West Liberty $115 , leav
ing $33. according to onr agreement ,
to be paid at Beatrice on arrival. But
I was surprised by being presented
with a bill [ of $224.20 , without any
credit for the $115 paid before , which
bill I had to pay beforel could get my
stock and goods. And at this time ,
six months afterwards , although I
have used the utmost diligence by cor
respondence to have the matter right
ed , I have received no .money back ,
nor have the railroad companies
shown any disposition in the least
to right the matter , and it seems
I shall be unable Jto get any redress
without expensive litigation. It will
be seen that they have taken the dif-
erence between $224.20 and $33 due
them per contract , too much that is ,
$19120. They sent me around on
the Union Pac'fic road on what is
termed the "Rim's Horn route" from
Omaha to Lincoln , making it neces
sary for me to lay over Sunday at
Lincoln on expense for myself and
atock. L , W. Jacobs was onr agent
