DEBT reduction ia alow work , but Now York has "buckled down manfully to the task of slowly wiping out the legacy left her by ( ho death of the " Tweed rinjf. In 1875 the debt was , $115,187,080. On Iho SOlh o ( last December it had been diminislicd to $ ! )8,302,85'1 ) , a decrease of nearly $17,000,000- , THK Chicago papers state that the conference between the president and .general managers of the Burlington aud Union Pacific companies on Tues day developed a mutual dcsito for peace , and was almost productive of . an agreement , The subjects under 'consideration , it is understood , in- clu'dod the question of joint oocupa- $ tion of depot grounds in Denver , the completion of the Missouri Pacific to junction with the Union Pacific , and .terminal relations at Omaha. No formal agreement was drawn , nor wore any definite terms submitted , but , stated in a general war , an understanding - derstanding was practically reached which will prevent any war of rates vest of the Missouri river , and the basis is already laid for a pooling com pact between tha Union Pacific aud the Burlington on trans-Missouri traffic. Of course they will pool on Colorado business. Who has over doubted .this for an instant ? Railroad , competition is ono of the most barefaced - faced of shams. The moment that it becomes moro profitable for rival rob- bora to divide territory and share plunder they do so and railroad rob- > ' ben are no exception to the general JalD. The only remedy that the pub- ia has is to secure the enactment of UWB against pooling and to fix such rates on freight and passenger ( radio > u will prpteot the producers of this country ugrinst the combinations of the monopoly managers. Such com binations ought to bo pronounced un lawful because against public policy. And until they are so recognized and provided against the American people ' ' ' will bo forced to remain at the mercy , of the cormorants who manipulate ' prices and elevate or depress values " * to suit their own caprice or to pander to theayarico and greed of stock job- ben and railroad wreckers. IT ! easy enough to say that e Jhero Is peace in Omaha to-day the call fortrooia was unnecessary and tbe expeusp to which the State was it i nwdleM. But it is not so easy o vui ia a denial of the foot that bo- r s ton the troops occupied B point , of U * nt go at OroahB , no manufacturing j : * sUblishmont in the city could bo opened. [ Lincoln Journal. This is a fragran1 and undiluted Ho manufactured out of the whole cloth. Every manufacturing establishment in Omaha , with the exception of the smelting works was running on full time at the moment when the "troops occupied a point of vantage at Omaha , " and there was not the slightest indica lion of trouble among the employes in any of the numerous industries in our city. The Union Pacific shops with their 2,000 mechanics wore work ing without Interruption , our lead works , packing houses , foundries , nail works , oil mill and breweries wore in full operation without thought of stopping. There would have boon no trouble in the smelting works if the managers had not intimated to the men a coming advance in wagon , and then after Mr , Guy Barton had called on the governor for troops , refused t ; fulfil their promises. The statement that before thn arrival of the trxops no manufacturing establishment in Omaha could bo opened is sufficiently disproved by the fact that no manu facturing establishment with the ono exception had been shut or had any idea of closing their doors , troops , erne no troops. But this is a sample of the lies with which the press outside of Omaha i regaling its readers in connection with the strike of a couple of hundred laborers in our city. Such gross dis tortions of facia are doing great harm abroad to Omaha. Eantern paper give glaring headlines to what the ! dispatches announce as red-handed riot. Rival towns glory in the un enviable notoriety given to our city and moralize over the condition of alHiirs which has necessitated the call * ing of the state and national military forces , while in other quarters our state authorities are very justly do- nounccd for their inability to grasp with a problem , which oven in its magnified condition could easily have been solved by a little common sense and ordinary back-bono , TUB fact is that yesterday's funeral procession , BO called , was merely a great "labor demonstration , " so called. It was a street parade which took advantage of a sad occasion t < ? "show the authorities that these men are in earnest. " It was a dorfoustra- tion whoso significance was alike apart from the occasion which it seized upon and from the interests of the workingmen - men of the city generally in what is still falsely called a "strike.-Re publican. And how do the men who gathered on Wednesday to pay their last re spects to the memory of Mr. Arm strong like this tudied insult to their motives ? A q j dtor , more impressive and moro orderly funeral procession has never boon scon in Omaha , it - was neither a "street parade" nor "demonstration. " It collected quiet ly , and it dispersed as quietly as it collected. No one but a heartless ghoul would attempt to make capita against the workingmen bo suet shameless criticism of a sad and mournful , but in every way respocta bio and orderly occasion. TitK > other day JayGould invited < few personal friends to his private oflico in Now York , and regaled them r.ith a view uf $53,000,000 of stock and bonds. Fifteen years ago Goulc was peddling patent rat-trap. 8inc that time ho has devoted his attnn tion to catching Quakers , shearing lambs and fleecing the public. Gould'i first deal was in Erie , The stoob holders suffered to the extent of oighl millions of dollars , and the public have boon paying dividends on that - amount of watered stock over since Union Pacific was Gould's next poinl of attack , with side dablings ir Northwestern and a score of minoi roads , whoso stock ho alternately depressed pressed , raised and watered until lu was ready to pull out , stood from under dor and watched others as they go the benefit of the drop. Western Union , Wabaih and the Southwestern system have boon latterly receiving the attention of this king of stock gamblers , Between the acts ho stopped to manipulate the stock of the Now York olovutod roads , and cleared a opol ton millions from the transac tion by the aid of skillful lawyers and a corrupt judge and attorney general , His aggregate wealth is now believed to bo ono hundred millions of dollars. WK are told that State Senator Burns , of Dodge , has called at the Republican oflico to toll the brass col lared editors of that sheet "that Rose water has utterly lost caste among the citizens of the state at Itrgo , who through fear or favor have been dis posed to stand by him. " Wo are also kohl incidentally that TUB HUB is los ing many subscribers by ita opposition to military rule before civil remedies are exhausted. This is very sad news. TUB BKK can stand the loss of several thousand subscribers but it never can survive the nilliction of Senator Burns' disfavor. The senator immortalized himself by voting first , last and all the time for "Nance" to fill the place to which Van Wyok was elected , and wo are not surprised that his pent-up ad miration for the " " "boy governor" hta found passage through the channel of f the Union Pacific organ , Upon in quiry at the business office , wo find that the situation is not as desperate M w'o had boon led to believe.

TUB New York Times commenU SB fellows on the alleged Omaha riots. A difficulty at Omaha , caused by the viligant interference of certain riotous railway laborers * ith the pro gress of the work which they have abandoned , causes so great a panic that the governor of Tobraska aiid the congressional delegation front that State have besought national assistance. The governor urges that t .broach of the peace is imminent , and that the property of the railroad company is endangered. The excuse cuso for calling upon the prcstdonl for the protection cf the army is thai legislature is not m session and that the governor is powerless. This is r curious condition of things , certainly , In Virginia , not long since , the gov ernor of the state organized a nava expedition against a fleet of thieving oyator fishing vessels , and not only pursued them , but captured the vcs sols and crews and returned in tri umph. The governor of Nebraska ought to bo furnished by the peopl of the state wivh the power and th means sufficient to attempt to quell i disturbance , at least before ho erica for help from the national govern mont. If any man or sat of men have con spired to commit a murderous assaul by mob violence , lot them bo punished od according to law , but if the gran jury has prepared indictments witl no bettor foundation than the so-calle confession of Fonda , they have pu the county to n needless expense. No body can over bo convicted on Fen da's testimony unless the jury packed. LINCOLN NOTES' Special Correspondence of Tim bun. \ LINCOLN , March 10. While Omnh and the entire armed force of th state are struggling heroically wit the rioters who do not riot and th mobbors who do not mob , Lincoln too , is carrying on a warfare bloodless - loss , it is true , but none the less bitter on that account. It is the university contest which paralyzes Lincoln at present. The contest between reason and bigotry , civilization and barbar ism , progiws and retrogression , the same Rort of a fipht , on a small scale , that Luther , HUBS , Galileo and Kep- pler had upon their hands. Instigated by the chancellor , prepared by A CONVERTED COWBOY trom the western wilds , who is hero a supplementing the education which nature has given him , consummated by the board of regents , apologized for by Elder Miller and the brawny Bullock , ttiifa fight has been going ou ] now almost ad nauseam. , The public might well wish that the entire gang Jb airfield and Fifiold , Cowboy and Bullock , Miller and Mason , disaontcn and consontors could be swept away so far from the institution that thoj wonld never bo heard of again. There ia talk , and there are hopes , that the i coming extra session of the logtslat lire ( if , perchance , it comes ) will take up the subject and order some sort of an investigation into the matter and as ; certain what can bo done to heal the broach. There ia little dissent from < the opinion that so long as Fairfield - field remains there is no prospect for improvomont. His method * become mare absolute and hts.facul ties moro mummified year after ; y ar , until finally , if no change is made , Professor Aughoy will Inadvortantlj OAPTUHK HIM SOME DAT and put him in the university museum as a choice relic of the paliczjio ago. , Sheriff Ensign received intelligence from soruo anonymous person yester day that an attack was contemplated I upon the county jail last niffht , and a largo force was put on to cuard the promises. The notorious Quin Uo- hunau is supposed to bo the object sought after by these unknown out < side admirers. No demonstration was ) made , however. A largo number of witnesses and interested parties are hero from Wavorly , in attendance upon the trial , and the feeling against Bohonan is very bitter. This city was visited by another affliction last evening in the shape of an an Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe , the fifth of the season. Speaking of colossal bores , this takes the premium. If some ono of the numerous can didates for mayor hero would only coma out on a strong anti-Uncle Tom platform he would nweop the city triumphantly. Jud o Pound has granted ATEUI'OIUUY INJUNCTI 'X against the issuance of water works bonds hero , the petition asking for such an injunction alleging sundry informalities in the proceedings of the city authorities in making the oidi- nance. Some humane individuals of the "anti-stalwart" order have - placed a petition in the post oflico for signa tures , asking for the pardon of Mason , the soldier who aimed so poorly at Guitoau. Similar petitions are being gotten up in other cities , and it is an ticipated that a formidable amount of pressure will bo brought to bear upon fie president in this manner. Gen.

The B. & M. in Omaha are having much trouble with the laboring men. No trouble is anticipated in Omaha. Mid it is likely that the regulars and militia will soon bo ordered to retreat in good order. Oov. Nance , in ordering tha milt ia to Omaha to keep order , did so at the request of the authorities there , ann is in no manner to blame , if blame , hoe is. to bo attached to any. 'Grand Island Times. The Omaha authorities lost their beads as completely as the striken when they bawled for help from the United Stites army. It ia a question whether oven the State militia was needed , but it is the question calling on the general government for aid long before the militia was oven or * dored to Omaha was unwarranted ant unprofitable. [ State-Democrat. The fooling at Omaha between the wnrkingmen and the authorities has boon terribly intensified by the killit.j of Goo. 1 * . Armstrong , and it woulc n t bo surprising now to hoar of atcr riblo riot and slaughter. The blooc ot an innocent man has boon shed - not to preserve the peace but to sat isfy the malice nf the militia at a jeer ing mob. [ Plattsmouth Journal. The man Armstrong , stabbed wit ] a bayonet duting the disturbance a the ' 'dump" on Sunday , died from the results of his wounds , which wen moro serious than first supposed. ' bullhead of a "militiaman" hold tin bayonet , and there was no need of i in the world. Wo have alway claimed that the presence of these half-fl dged "soldiers , " the state mil ! tiV , did moro harm than good. [ Fremont mont Herald. The company sacra to think a man ought to live on $1.25 per day , whil the men are on a strike for $1.75 Although wo greatly deprecate such a state of affairs , our sympathies are with the workingmcn. Vfo ever will hold to the principle of living wages for the laboring man. Starvation wages , long hours and hard work only foster communism and trouble.- [ Orleans loans Sentinel. It is alarming to think what might have boon the fate of those green mili tia men in Omaha , if the regulars hadn't gone down to their assistance. A hundred boys with rotten applet could have whipped the whole State militia if they had started in on them down there at the dump. The "rad ish" have earned glory enough by stabbing an old man in the back with a bayonet , and they tan now go homo to lie about their exploits on the field of Omaha. [ Fremont Herald. At the distance of twenty milee from Omaba it looks to us as if the authorities of that place were entirely too hasty in sending for the state militia and United States' troops to defend the town against the laboring men of that place. Wo * "understand that after Wednesday's demonstration no effort was made by the sheriff , police or mayor to preserve order or arrest any e { lander , rut the governor was telegraphed to , that , the city was in the handa of a inob and that the city authorities were unable to pre serve order. Dr. Miller's pretended democratic principles and opposition * to military rule was proven td be u mere pretense for that ho urged"tho application for the military td' bo ? made before anjr attempt had een to organize the civil power. It is np wonder that the laboring men espe cially the leaders make sport of the cowardice and haste of the civil au thorities in thus surrendering to armed forces. [ Plattsraonth Journal. Cen'ral City Courier. The condition of affairs at Omaha as. wo go to gross , is about as it was ai the time the city was placed under military rulo. The soldiers are there , the imported laborers are going on with their work , and the strikers are quiet. Nothing has occurred which leads us to rovtwo our opinion that the calling of the military forces was superfluous. It has brought an odium on Omaha which will lost for a long time , It has given to the turbulent element an exaggerated idea of their power and importance , and will have a tendency to convince them that they can do about as they please and the city government will bo too weak to control them. The calling out of the militia , and especially of United States troops , except in cases of extreme necessity ia a bad prece dent ; and last , and perhaps least of all , it is a move that involves a very contidorablo expense. If the strikers had been destroying * life or property immediate and vigorous measures for their suppression would have been called for. On the contrary , not only the strikers but the rougher element that' follows have boon comparatively peaceable. Their actions have shown that they would never arm themselves to attack the workmen at the dump , while the fact that they precipitately retreated when the first QUU was pointed at them , shows that they have a wholesome fear of firearms armsWo believe , therefore , that if Mayor Boyd had stationed a re- upectablo police force at the dump and armed them with firearms instead of their useless billies , they could easily have protected the laborers. It was feared , however , that if the po lice assorted their authority there would bo ' 'trouble , " and when ono of the laborers drew a revolver on the mob and proposed to defend his rights ho was arrested and disarmed on the same plea. It may bo that the mayor could not have preserved order in the city , but it would have boon the dig nified and proper course for him to have made a manly and vigorous ef fort before appealing to the govern ment , and calling on the citizen mili tia to drop their own business that they might protect that of Omaha. THEUE will be a day of reckoning when the farmers of Nebraska are asked to foot tbo bills for the roaring farce which the boy governor has boon playing on the Omaha foot boards.

The Congregational college is about completed and stands on. the north east of town on a slight rise of hill , commanding a splendid , view of No- ligh and the surrounding country. The building committee for the con struction of three bridrjes souih ol town , and the filling of the wagon road across the bottom , have raiscc ample funds to warrant them in com mencing work , wh'ch ' they will do the middle ofjtlie present week. The business men of this town are doing a good business , as can be seen by their happy , smiling faces. P. D. S. Koring seems the happiest man be cause ho thinks he has the biggest stock of boots , shoos and clothing , but John Getchell , O. P. Smith , 0. Fisher and la Witt are trying to compote pete for the mastery in that trade. Other lines of goods do a good busi ness. I understand G. W. Myers is going to start a saloon in a blacksmith shop , giving up the anvil for the bar. Mr. 0. Fields , our noble and mag nanimous justice of the peace , dis penses the statutes with a grand and 1 mighty fling and gives universal satis faction. Our big and jolly landlord , I. B. Coke , will allow the boys to pick his pockets of cigars and smile and lay , " 1 will think of that by and by , " and ho generally does. 13. E. WAHOOSIERDOM. Special Correajiondciico ol TUB Un The parties arrested for raiding the Independent oflico were taken for trial before Justice Mengel , but swore out a change of venue and were tried before - fore Justice March , who , after hear ing the evidence , turned them 'all 1 loose , but within fifteen minutes they wore all re-arrested and taken before County Judge Gilkcson , who put each under $800 bonds to appear before the grand jury at the April term of district court. It is evident that Justice Marsh and Judge Gilkcaon do not look through the same glasses. Farmers are busy totting ready for spring work Some of these who sowed wheat in February are harrow ing it in ; others are plowing. Ez-Oounty Superintendent J. A , Smith lost a little daughter last week with membraneous croup. Mr. 0. E Smith , his brother , has ono very sick at present with diphtheria , which dis ease is prevalent in this community Much talk is had hero regarding the strike in Omaha and the fooliog seems to be strongly on the side of the work- intpon , although the unanimous de cision is that BO Yiolsnco should be committed by them.
