THE cable announces to us the sad in telligence that the Rajah of Kolapoor is dead , llis family has our sympathy. GoMMissioxini LOUINO has given us something moro on American swinebut as usual the commissioner's statistics are moro guess-work. IT is a wookyotboforotho congressional mill will resume grinding , meanwhile the Washington reporters are grinding out empty grist. IT is rumored again that Villard will resign the presidency of the Northern Pacific , but wo presume that Mr. Villard has no intention to give up his Northern Pacific pickings and stealings. Wit n the beginning of the now year Undo Sam will go into the junk shop business. The Boston navy-yard will bo converted into a rope walk and the con demned vessels will bo broken up. B&ADLAuaii announces his intention to r take his scat again. The lost time ho tried it ho had his regulation spiko-tail torn 'off his back. This time ho will probably take the precaution to put on a second-hand suit. THEY have opened another real estate exchange in New York. Why not open ono in Omaha ? Tlioro are nearly fifty real estate brokers in this city who could wrestle ever additions , divisions and commissions. THE commissioner of the land oflico lias cancelled a largo number of entries in Dakota and Colorado. There arc a great many such entries in Nebraska that ought to bo cancelled. Some of those are npt very far from the Stinking Water crook. Tut ; now pool is simply the Iowa pool with a change of partners , the Union Pacific taking the place of the Chicago , Burlington & tQulncy. The question arises whqthor the Uniofl Fftoifio can -dlvido Ja earnings west of the JUksJ1" ! with Iowa roods. Tll9 government has some interest in tl'.O mailer as well as the corporation stockholders. MR. VAIKNTINE is a member of the militia committee and of the committee on elections. The latter is important , but the former lias never hold a mooting. There is about as much use for a militia committee as there is for R committed on astronomy. Republican.

Why didn't the court-martia make use of General Howard's indolibli branding ink ? THE corporation counsel of Boston ha suddenly become very fastidious. Hi has rendered an opinion that the council man have no right to incur bills for re frcshnionta , wines , liquors or cigars ii the name of the city , This is a sad bloat \ at the individual liberties of the Bostoi ideal councilmon.

The tcccnl gathering of railroad mag- nntos in this city included quito a num ber of notable men. In A great degree they Tvoro sclf-inndo men mon of ster ling character , of fine business talenta , and commanding personal appearance. Some of these mon begun their career at the bottom round of the ladder , and have gradually climbed from brakonnn to manager or president. Others have drifted from other callings into railroad ing , beginning with comparatively noth ing and in a few years acquiring fame , fortune and power. Of this latter class Ransom R. Cable , of the Chicago & Rock Island , is a fair exponent. It is said that ho and General Manager Clark , of the Union Pacific , who by the way be gan his career as a brakeman , wore the originators of the tripartite pool which has been developed into the Western Trunk Line association. Fifteen years ago , Mr. Cable , who was then thirty- throe years old , wao running n ono-horso flour mill at Davenport , la. , and was worth probably about $500. About I860 his undo , P. L. Cable , invested § 50,000 with Judge Lyndo in n coal mine in Coal valley , twenty miles from Rock Island. Nothing showed up and the judge drew out. P. L. Cable waa about to do ho , when Ransom appeared on the scono. Ho believed in the mine , and persuaded his uncle to drop in the liolo nil the money ho could obtain. Finally , in the early part of ' 01 , when everybody but Ransom was hopeless , they struck it rich. The war came and coal boomed. P. L. Cable made a mint of money. Ran- som's aharo was not largo , but it gave him a start. The two bought some moro minoa about twenty-four miles from-Rock Island , and built n railroad out to the town now called Cablo. The Hack Island and Peoria road vras built directly after the war by Rock Island parties. The Cables got control of it about 1870 , and the undo having in vested largely in Rock Island & Pacific , the Peoria road was made n branch. Ransom began his railroad career as HU- porintondont of the branch. Ho hold that position till 1870 , when ho became assistant general manager of the Rook Island. IIo was then considered to bo worth about § 200,000. In 1880 ho was made general manager of the Rock Is land , and last spring waa elected presi dent. Ho is regarded as one of the "slickest" railroad mon in the country Mr. Cable ia a very hatidsomo man tall , dignified nnd courtly. Ho is smooth as glass in conversation , but firm as a rook vrhon once his mind is made up. His family relations are pleasant. After re maining a widower several years with throe children , ho was married about throe years ago to Miss Jennie Buford , the b olio 'of Rock Island. A SINQVLAR FATALITY. The fact that Brigadior-Gonoral R. S. MaoKcnzie , commander of the depart ment of Texas , has boon relieved of his command on account of temporary insan ity , caused by nervous prostration , and placed in the military asylum at Wash ington , recalls to mind some sad and in teresting incidents in the history of the glidoll-MaoKonzio family , who , it ap- ears , have bodll the BUDj'o'C8 ! of what corns to bo a singular fatality. Gonoial MacKonzio's grandfather , orty years ago , waa it naval captain i command of the war' brig Somors in lie West Indies. It was claimed that a nutiny was discovered on board the vos- el , although no overt act had boon com- nittcd , and upon the testimony of an nformor , a young midshipman named Jponeor was convicted of being ft ring oador by a court on boal the vessel. Captain MaoKonzio ordered him to bo mng from the yard arm of the vessel ot sunrise next morning , and the order was carried out. Sponcof , who , was a nero youth , was the son of the then secretary of wr.r. The tragedy created the greatest sensation of .ho times in the United States. Captain MncKonzio , upon his return to this couiv , ry , was arrested and tried by court mar tial , but as the captain had not overstepped stopped the law , ho was acquitted , His cruel act , however , was universally condemned. It was argued that , as tin mutiny , if there was any , had boon subdued duod , thcro was no good reason whj Spencer , if guilty of any crime , uhouli not have boon kept as a prisoner unti the ship returned to the United States Captain MacKenzie never got anotho : command in the United States navy , 1m despised of his fellow men ho passed th remainder of his life , almost entirely without a friend , in anguish and remorse Misfortunes have ever ninco befallen hi descendants , Ono was killed in a rail way accident , having his nock broken and another was drowned at sea. Th members of the Slidoll branch of th family have all boon overcome by sorrow grief and vrant. And now the grandson , General MacKenzie Konzio , a gallant soldier , who became i brigadier at the ago of forty the young cat general of that rank in the army ba comes insane a few days before his eon tomplatod marriage. It certainly is singular fact that ill-luck has bofallo the MaoKonzios over since young Spence was hung by order of the old naval caj tain , THU year which closes to-day , hasboo in many respects exceptional. Wo hav had great earthquakes , volcanic oru ) tions. cyclones , ctornis and great disai tors by fire and flood. There have bee some wars on a email scale , There hav boon Viols , dynamite explosions andrai way collisions. There boun as many 01 BassinatioiiB and murders as in any otlu year. Bnt with all this the mortalit list of great mon is exceptionally ligli There have been no deaths among tli crowned heads , and comparatively fe mon of note in other walks of life have passed away. To obituary writers this has boon an off year. T1IK NRW ALLIANCK. The most extensive combination that lias ever boon made between the Amer ican railroad systems is about to bo con summated through the pool that has just boon organized under the name of the Western Trunk Ltno Association. Great trunk lines have been consolidated and put under ono control , and pools have been organized to equalize earnings of competing lines , but never has there boon an alliance that included within its network ever 20,000 miles of railway. Although the compact made by the par ties who have become members of the now pool haa not yet made public in its details , enough haa boon learned to war rant the conclusion that this is to bo an offensive and defensive alliance , which , for at leant six years , proposes to control and divide among its members the bulk of the railroad traillo west of Chicago. Overriding state lines atid in defiance of all charter obligations and the prohi bitions imposed by state constitutions against pooling , this gigantic confedera tion proposes to destroy all competition and lory arbitrary and oppressive taxes upon the people who are tributary to its lines. It will bo within the power of half a dozen mon in this now alliance to lower the price of every bushel of grain raised in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys , and it is equally within their power to raise the price of all com modities which the west is obliged to im port from the oast. They do not only control the main roads and branch lines within the vast area , but their peculiar relation to the lines east of Chicago make them virtually arbitrators of most of the traflio between Now York and the west. As a natural sequence the Vanderbilt and Gould systems east of Chicago and south of St. Louis will ao-oporato and exchange business with the railroad syn dicate in the now pool. Tlioro is no doubt that Vanderbilt and Gould have boon largely instrumental in organizing this alliance to fortify themselves against nil rival combinations. The Chicago , Burlington & Quincy is the only compet ing trunk line that has not joined the now alliance. Whether that corporation will pick up the gauntlet and defiantly stand its ground against the tremendous force that can bo exerted by the now pool is problematic. The Burlington is the only rival of the Union Pacific , and its local traffic in Nebraska is at least five times that of the Union Pacific. To surrender that traffic and throw it into the pool would bo a sacrifice for which one-eighth of the through tnifiic would bo no adequate compensation. Unless the difference ia made up by an equivalent from another source it would almost bo suicidal for that road to aban don its independence. There need not necessarily bo , a rate war if it does stay out of the pool. The Burlington can maintain rates established by the pool without dividing its earnings with it , and if the pool should cut rates the Burlinj- ; tob can doubtless afford to meet it pn equal terms even though the Idas in such a fight should bo berne proportionately by eight separate roads. In such a war the public sympathy and patronage wou.14 natu.raUy go against the oo ! | because public interest would o to keep tip the compoti- ! on , In this vietf of the Cose there may till bo out ) chock to the arrogance and yranny which the now alliance is liable o exorcise ; but wo confess that wo have cry little faith in railway competition. Sxporionco has demonstrated time and gain that competition is always followed iy combination , and in the end the rail- oad is pound to bo a monopoly. Tun death of General Humphreys re- nuvoa another of the gallant soldiers rho distinguished themselves during the ate war. Ho was not only a bravo soldier u every sense of the word , but also ono of the most eminent engineers in the United States. His career in the army overs n period of ever forty years active service. A native of Pennsylvania , ho graduated from the military academy at West Point in 1831 , and was assigned to the Second artillery. In 1838 ho entered tored the topographical engineer corps and was promoted to n captaincy in tha corps during the Mexican war. At the outbreak of the civil war ho was major It the engineer corps , and was assigned tc duty as colonel and aid-do-camp on Gen Scott's staff. On the 28th of April , 18G2 ho waa appointed brigadier-general o volunteers , and in July , 18G3 ho wa promoted to bo major-general for gallan and meritorious services at the battle o Gettysburg. On August 8th , 18GG , General oral Humphreys became chief of th United States engineers , with the ran of brigadier-general , which position h hold until ho was retired , at his own re quest , our years ago.

Irrigation is as necessary to the arid egions of the west as fertilizing to the ast. Millions of acroa of land in Colo- ado , Wyoming and Montana only need moisture to yield crops of grain and veg etables in such abundance as to astonish ho farmers of the older states. In the Salt Lalco valley , where irrigation has > eon carried on systematically for years , ho fruit and vegetable crop find a rich and ready market as far east as Chicago and west to ,81111 , Francisco. In most of ho valloysi of Montana irrigation is a matter of .necessity . , and although the expense is largo and water rights costly , , ho crops lire moro certain and the quan- ity greater. The largest and wealthiest irrigating company yet organized in the west was recently incorporated in Colorado. It is called the Rio Grande and Sagaucho company , composed of liomn and foreign capitalists , headed by a "real live lord" > f England. The company propose to rrigato , 300,000 acrca of the San Luis 'alloy ly ) a system of canals. Contracts mvo already been lot for the removal of two and a half million" yards of earth , and 200 teams have boon shipped from liiforont points to the valley. In cpnnoc- .ion tpih this extensive scheme it is pro- ) osod to encourage the immigration of Swedish colonists a class of frugal , in dustrious , thrifty farmers , who will build up that most powerful olpmont of society &i well-to-do population of thriving 'armors. Arrangements arc already being nado to. establish schools and churches 'oil them , and the Denver & Rio Grande ajlroad is offering great inducements for .ho encouragomcnt of immigration. /Tho / press of Wyoming have from time 4 time given much prominence to the il Holds of the territory. Several Omaha , pitalists are interested in that region , , mong them being Samuel E. Rogers and r. Goo. B. Graff. The late "Professor" Aughoy is also there experimenting on ho depth and wealth of the now fields. ? ho Wyoming Petroleum company has icon organized , of which Mr. Rogers is iresidont. Last week the company paid 53,000 at the United States land office or 1,440 acres of land , lying 75 miles north of Pointfof Rocks , which is in addi- iou to quite a largo tract already owned 'hero. ' j * j President Rogers and Dr. Graff have ) eon interviewed by reporters as to their ilans. They wore reticent as to actual ntontions , but stated that they should uroly commence operations in the spring. They stated that they had fifty barrels of oil flowing daily now. If any railroad will build to the proposed location of heir wells they will guarantee it 3,000 > arrols a day. They claim they have the jest oil in America and the most of it , and fool confident they can produce 100- )00 ) barrels a month and "not half try. " Hr. Rogers is enthusiastic and thinks ; hn greatest possibilities are in store for , ho future. While the surrounding states and ter ritories have been growing in population and wealth , Nevada has stood motionlcsH while her neighbors secured their full share of the over-flowing tide of immi gration. With an arca'of 110,000 square miles , the population increased only 20- 000 in the ton years from 1870 to 1880. The collapse of her great mines a few years ago was a sovcro blow to the growth of the state from which she has not yet ; ully recovered. During the pantycai ; ho state has not boon as prosperous as in the palmy days , for the bullion output lias boon less than usual , on account oi the immense amount of "dead work1 found necessary in order to place the mines in condition for vigorous prospect ing on the lower lovola. This period hai arrived and auch work is now being doiu on the Comstock ludo as was never knpwi before , and there is a hopeful possibility of "bonanzas" being discovered in SOUK of the mines. In other portions of tin Btato the mining industry is reasonably prosperous , and most encouraging of al is the immense amount of prospecting being ing carried on. An increased interest i being taken in the search for copper , in dications of valuable lodges having booi found in Elko , Humboldt , Washoo , Es merulUa and ( jtlior counties , The bora : prospects in Esraoralda county ar brighter than over before. The outlook of the state is exceeding ly encouraging. A larger area than ovu is under cultivation , and the most boun tiful harvest in the history of .tho slat will bo the result. Farm hands are i ; demand in every section at $40 to $5 per month , Thu stock raising iutores has prospered amazingly during the paa year. Moro than 50,000 beef oattl wore shipped from this state to the Cal ifornii and eastern markets during th past season , and the future is full c promise to all connected with the ic dustry , The opening of the Sioux rosorvatloi is anxiously uwaited , not alone by Ian speculators , but by the people of North western Nebraska , Dakota and the Blac Hills. To the people of the Hills i moans early rail communication with th east , and a market for various product which cannot bo transported by wagon and pay the cost. One result of ru communication , says The Rapid Oil Journal would bo a aulliciont supply i fuel for the occupants of the troolci plains of Northern Nebraska an Southern Dakota. What tliei countries lack fuel , and lumber the Hills can supply in unlimited quantities and at prices much Icsn than those arti cles now cost. Besides , it would open up now avenues of trade and settle up the intervening country , most of it as good land ns was over tilled. Settlers are already crowding up to the reserva tion lines in both Nebraska and Dakota , and this fact alone will force it from In dian control at an early day. Yankton has just completed a BJ stem of w tor works which are probably the most complete over constructed for the money $13,000. They are owned by the city , and a recent public test gave the greatest satisfaction to all classes. This system of water works depends for its supply upon the artesian well on the west bluff , which is the property of the city. Adjoining the well has been built a rcsorvior twenty feet high above the crown of the bluff and thirty foot in dia- mor. _ It contains 3,000 barrels of water. Leading from this resorvior are two miles of mains. With the hose on hand and to bo procured this syslam will furnish protection to the larger portion of the city. The reservoir stands 120 feet above Capitol street and ono hundred foot above Broadway , giving a pressure which will throw streams of water from the ground to the top of any building within reach of the hoso. The works were constructed by Fairbanks , Morse & Co. , of Chicago , at a cost of only $13,000 , including mains , reservoir , pump and a thousand foot of hoso. This is but little moro than the cost of a de cently equipped steam fire department and the expense' of maintaining it is com paratively nothing. The water is always ready for use and the supply in the res ervoir is sufliciont at all times to extin guish any lire with which a city of its size would bo afflicted. Montana has produced a genius in the cattle figuring business , who shows re- cults as paralyzing as Wyoming or Cole rado. Geo. R. Tingle , ono of the many successful stock growers of the territory , and an authority on matters pertaining to the industry in which ho has been suc cessfully engaged for years , has prepared an exhaustive table of increase , etc. , of a herd of GOO cows and 30 bulls will show in ton years. From the table and figures given the following deductions are made : Amount of stock to start , G30 , including 30 bulls. Total at end of ton years , 10,789 , less 1,990 beeves sold and the 5 per cent loss , amounting to 1,051 , a total of 3G17 , leaving on hand 7,302 head of stock , the increase of bulls mak ing their total 1GO. The average in come for the ten years would bo 813,013 , and the average yearly expenses $3,000 , leaving a not yearly income of about $10,000 , and showing a net per contago of gain on the original investment of $20,000 of 50 per cent , per year. The sales of stock during the last seven years would amount to $130,030 , and the total money realized and value of stock on hand footsup § 392,100 ; from this is to bo subtracted the cost of the plant ( $19G15) ) and the expenses for the ton years ( $39- 010) ) , given at $58,025 , leaving a total net gain of $333,535. To this may bo added the horses and ether personal property accumulated in ten years. Of course all the above deductions are made upon the supposition that the ranchman is unvisit ed during the decade by any general calamity , such as disease or loss by flooder or storm.
