How much longer will the people o : IOWA and Nebraska and especially Omaha and Council DlufTs submit to the cutthroat exactions of the Mis souri river bridge monopoly ! Whj cannot something bo done to enforce tlio original requirements of the bridge charter ? When congress chartered the 1'a ciflc railroads in 18G2 it was oxprcsslj provided that the Union Pacific roru should connect with the Iowa systen of railroads at the point designated by the president as the eastern termi nus. In December , 1803 , President Lin coln , by proclamation , located the oast- em terminus of the Union IVifie on the wcntcrn boundary of the state ol Iowa opposite section 10. The authority to bridge the Mis souri river between Omaha and Coun cil DlufTs for railway traffic was vest ed in the Union Pacific by its origi nal charier , and the supreme court ol the United States by its decision on the terminus declared the Missouri river bridge to bo a part of the main line of the Union Pacific and required that bridge to bp operated aa such. But while this bridge dould and should have been1 built under the original charter of the Union Pacific , thn Credit Mobiliar builders of that road conceived a scheme ol highway robbery , whereby they not only built the bridge without expend- iiu' a dollar of their own nionoy , bill after pocketing a clean million of the construction fund , they established toll gate between Iowa and Nebiaska that has netted them enough within nine years to pay interest and princi pal of the bridge bonds , and fully thrco times as much aa the bridge actually did cost. By a supplemen tary act passed in 1871 , the Union Pacific railroad company was required to construct a railway and wagon bridge at Omaha. Authority was granted in this act to the corporation to issue bonds for the construction of thia bridge , which wore to'bo liquidated by bridge tolls. Thcro is not tha remotest doubt however - over that this authority to collocl special bridge tolls was intended exclusively clusively to cover tolls to bo exacted for travel and traflic over the wagon bridgo. The credit mobilior builders of the bridge issued $2,500,000 , of bridge bonds , upon which the annual iutcr- est is 8200,000 and the sinking fund 01,000. Although this bridge cost losa than a million and a quarter and could to-day bo replaced for half a million the people have paid moro than a half a million per annum for its use over since it waa built. A very low cati- mate would place the total earnings of thia bridge ainco its completion at five million dollars , and yet the cor- moranla who have exacted such op pressive tolls from their patrons have never complied ortried to comply .with tha letter and spirit of * the brid o charter. They have never built .a wapoti bridge , aa they were legally bound to do and there in not a reasonable doubt that they have not only forfeit ed their charter riirhta , but could bo compelled to disgorge every dollar they have exacted for the tranifor of freight and passengers above the mileage rate. And now wo auk the business men of Omaha and Council BlulTa how much longer will you sub mit to thia outrage ? How much longer will you allow these highway men to keep their embargo on the commerce of both cities , and for that mattorthowholuuppor Missouri valley ? How much longer will you allow these pirates to play dog in the man ger and obstruct every effort to estab lish a wagon bridge , pontoon bridge , or cvo'n a rope ferry across this great river ? Last year , when an enterpris ing citizen , lawfully authorized to run a ferry between Om&ha and Council Bluffr , made the , effort to accommo- ( Into emigrants and .afford . our mer chants a cheaper transfer for mer chandise , the bridge monopoly re sorted to ovcry conceivable trick to destroy this competitor and finally they sailed a rival steam ferry under false colors , to break down the rope feiry. This same cutthroat [ lolioy ia about to be inaugurated again thia fall , No sooner has Mr. Porter made preparations for reopen ing his ferry than the U. P , atoam Tony is getting ready to head him off. Is it not high time for Omaha and Council IJlutla to join hands and con centrate their capital and influence to destroy this bridge monopoly by establishing a free steam ferry , to bo followed by the construction of , a tem porary free bridge for tlu winter and a pontoon wagon bridge next spring. A ferry boat m bo chartered for a few months M a moderate outlay and the temporary ice bridge will pay for tadlf in the reduction on fuel and other commodities. Give us a free rerry and free wagon bridge for ono year and you will smash the bridge uonoi > ely or compel the U. P. to juild a wagon bridge and reduce the .oils to reasonable rates , ' WITH all the ingenuity of her great nvcnton thia country is far behind Uuropo in the use of electricity , An electro railroad is in actual operation u Germany.

The fever heat /speculation in the east caused by the abundance of un invested nionoy ia attracting the at tention of cautious financiers. Mr. John Thompson , the oldest member of the banker's association , and presi dent of the Chase National bank , pre dicts another panic as the result ol the rocklosa expenditure of capital on wild-cat BchcmcB , and warns his as sociates of an approaching crash , the aigna of which ho declares are numer ous. The ono indication which ho considers especially alarminj is the number and magnitude o now enterprises involving the issue of millions of dollars of obligations which muat bo mot in the future Ilailroad and mining schemes are springing up by the hundreds , man ] of them entirely fictitioua in thoprom iaea which they hold out for an ] speedy returns on the investment , bu all calling for vast expenditures o money for their development. It ia a well known fact that every recurring panic in our country has been preceded ceded by just such a period of inflatcc speculative enterprises , and the fact that negotiations and issues of stocks and bonds are four times' what they were in 1873 is sufficient cause for the note of alarm which Mr. Thompson has sounded. All our financial ex perience allows that every season o prosperity ends in a general panic. * large portion of our capital is con fidence. Statistics show that fully ninety-live per cent of our business is done on.paper tokens , checks , drafts , notes , letters of credit itc. , independ ent of the national banks and the legal tender notes. Commercial con fidence makes thcao tokens a perfect substitute for money but when that confidence is once shaken contraction follows and the crack comes. According to Mr. Thompson that point is near at hant and ho advixcs investors to truarc , their assets in preparation for ita ap pearauco. Mr. Thompson's advice is timely but his gloomy view of out Jnunedi ate financial future is scarcely war ; ranted by Jiistoryor the present state of affairs. ' It is llttlo'less than eight years sincn our last great commercial depression. Experience shows thai the period of the recurrence of panics in this country ia about twenty years as against ton in Europe. The panio of 1817 was followed by that o ; 18117 , and that by the great crash o : 1857. Tha war and the abundance of irredeemable paper currency proba bly hastened the panio of 1873 , which in the ordinary course of speculation we would not have him until 1877. American speculators seem to possess a greater staying power than those ol any other nation , the cause for which is probably to 'h ' bo found in tiie rapid increase of our population by immigration , the settlement of new territory and the greater number of productive fields which that now territory offers to capital in this country. The fact that money ia still obtainable at such a low rate of interest is a strong indi cation thai speculation has not as yet seriously affected tho.londing capacity of our capitalists Heavy crops , re munerative returns of mercantile and manufacturing investments and a con stant flow of money into this country from Eurcpo has kept our money market easy and given unlimited re sources to the borrowing farmer. Still , with all our rcsources/.Mr. Thompson's warnings have a basis of truth behind them. Our speculators are daily sinking capital in mines and mills and railroads and are flooding the market with securities which will require years of prosperity to make them prqfitablu investments. We are making n.oixjy rapidly , but wo are spending it equally 'as fast. Luxury extravagance are gaining ground , not only in the largo cities but throughout the country. Our imports of silks and satins , of. luces and n-onzos and jewelry from abroad are nuch greater than they were before the uurio of 1873. There must bo an end to suclmud extravagance that end s commercial distress and financial ruin to thousands. The seeds for the next panto are boine actively sown and whether it comes sooner or later t is likely to prove , as Mr. THOMSON > rodicts , such a ono as the United States has never baforo experienced. TiiKitK ia trouble brewing in Cali fornia. The rapid construction and Dxtoiuion of railroads hu stimulated tlio settlement of Southern California ginning to clamor for a division of the state. This would b * a blow to both San Francisco and Sacramento , and thcao cities will therefore do all they can to discourage the movement. THE refusal of the nominees of the republican convention of Virginia to accept the nominations of their party virtually thrown the republican votes in that state to the support of the Mahono ticket , This means the auc- cess of the readjustee in the coming campaign , and in the end tliejr afilia- tion with the republican , party , Dr. Miller and th Jftrald notwithstand ing. IT ia stated that while Franco hae ono 'physician for every 10,000 inhab itants and Great Britain bno for every 1,200 , the Untied States haa h doctoi for every 700. In thia connection it may . bo remarked that the mortality rate in the United'plates ' ia reatot than in either Franco or Great Brit ain.
