XATLWAY MONOPOLY TNMAN- 1T011A. Tlio pcoplo of Mnnitubn , who nro being oppressed by tlmt great monopoly , the Canadian Pacific railway , demand dome relief from the Dominion government , which , however , is unable to respond ns ithns given nltnoat mipromo power to the corporation , The settlers threaten either io immigrate to the United States , or bring about n revolution and accession , unless something is done to force the Canadian Pacific to adopt n moro libora policy. ' Win nopcg , the capital of Manitoba , is 2,500 milca from the mouth of the St. Lawrence. The Canadian Pacific rail road covers 1,000 of this distance , and it insisU that all the surplus products of Manitoba shall be shipped over this route leaving little or no profit to the producers. The Manitobans demand a shorter route to the sea , which can bo secured by building a railroad only 'J70 miles long , which would connect Lake Winnopog with the navigable waters of the Nelson river , which empties into Hudson's bay. The point at which the railroad would strike the Nelson river is ono hundred miles nearer Liverpool than Now York is. This ia n practical route and would bo the means of giving relief to a monopoly ridden pooplo. The building of a railway only 370 miles long would bo a moro trifle for the Dominion government ; and if undertaken by private parties the government could aid the enterprise by liberal subsidies , as it did in the building of the Canadan Pa cific. I But having bound itself to give the Canadian Pacific n monopoly of the rail way business , it cannot very well help the people of Manitoba in tlieir distress. The Canadian Pacific of course naturally re fuses to build the desired road , as it would lose the Icng haul of Manitoban produce. It is certainly a very remarkable - blo situation of affairs. Iloro wo aoo a government virtually in partnership with a giant monopoly , which is oppressing the pcoplo of ono province to enrich the cities and people of another. The government seems powerless in this matter , and the railway , although haying the power , does not propone to take any stops towards adopting n moro liberal courso. The grants made to the Canadian Pacific are Homothing wonderful , and eclipse any thing in the subsidy line ever granted by the United States to the Pacific railroads. The Dominion government first gave to the Canadian Pacific 712 miles of com pleted railroad , valued at $28,000,000. This was followed by the magnificent gift of § 25,000,000 , to bo paid by instal ments , to aid the company in the con struction of 2,000 miles of road. In ad dition to this , it gave them $25,000,000 acres of land , valued at $1 per aero , but really worth $5. At the lowest valuation , the land qift in equal to $25,000,000 ; nt the five-dollar nvorago it is worth $125- 000,000 , and a good deal of it has boon sold in largo blocks at from $2 50 to § 1 per acre. Tlio actual gifts at the com pany's estimate of vnluo amount to 878- 000,000 and at a fair estimate to ? 178.- 000,000. And still they are not satisQod , but are asking guaranties for further credits , AH their railway property , in cluding depots and rolling stock , and all their land grants are exempt forever from taxation , general and local , and the terms of the contract permit them to select their land anywhere they may BOO fit ever an area almost OH largo as that of all the United States. The largo sales have all so far boon to the English aristocracy , who never intend to live in this country , It is no wonder that the people of Mani toba , who have been made the subjects oi a great and grasping monopoly , shouli become indignant at the outrages porpo tratcd , upon them , and wo oliould not b ( surprised to see thorn rebel and about a revolution' that will result an independent government. TJHS ANIMAL INDUSTRY JtU ItJIA U. Tint bill to establish i\bureau of nnimn industry , which has finally prssod , pro vldus an appropriation of § 150,000 to be used in the extirpation of diseases amoiif. domestic animals. This bill is nothiiij moro nor loss than an encroachment upoi the powers of the states. Tlio com misaionor of agriculture , who is to have charge of tin * bureau , is authorized among other things , to regulate the use of slaughter pens , n prerogative tha naturally belongs to the states. The states cannot receive the benefit of nn ; portion of the appropriation unlos. . thu state authorities co-oporato with the federal officials in the enforcement of thi net. The federal agents can declare tlm n contagious disease oxista in any state ' nnd if the state- authorities do not cooperate orate with the commissioner , the " president is authorized to arrest the ' transportation of cnttlo from the state . The commissioner has it in his power tc throw serious obsticies in the way of one . ' of the most important industries. The ' president , however , is mado'tho final nr biter In any difloronco arising botwooi the commisMonor nnd the state author ! tics. In cnso of any suspected contng ioua disease the commissioner of ngricul turo is empowered to invade the stat with his equad of killers nnd slough tor the Infected cattlo. If th state authorities co-oporatoin the ulaught or , oil right , but if not the commission or'a killers are to proceed without them In the bill that passed the house the com . missioner waa authorized to make coin ponsation to the owners of elaughtore pt cattle , which on some accounts migh have been a good arrangement ; but th provision was struck out of the bill tha passed finally. The Philadelphia Jlecord in comment , ing upon this bill says : . This law is based upon that provisio of the constitution which authorizes con grcss to regulate commerce "among th several stales. " But between suppress ing foot and mouth dine.iio in cattle nnd regulating commerce whit reasonable re lation can bo found ? The suppression of disease nmongcnttlo belongs to the health laws nnd the inspection laws of the states , with which congress \IM \ no right to in terfere. Pennsylvania has exorcised this power not only in the inspection of cit tlo , but of flour , loathrr and other nrticles of export. It is n right that cnn neither bo surrendered nor shared with the fede ral government. The further assumption is made in this law that the states nro unable - able or unwilling to extirpate disease in ctttlo , but of this there is no evidence. The law hns its origin in the itch for ex tending the operations of the federal ma chine over the entire field of legislation nnd in the spirit of paternalism tlmt is never happy except when regulating the nffiiira of the slates nnd people. The proposed market house scheme annot bo carried "ouV. Accord- o the opinion of City Attorney Conncll n market house cAimot bo erected on the troot nnd n court of equity would en- oin nny its erection on nriy such location. 'his loaves the market house problem as ar from solution ns over. While the imposition to build n market house on n portion of Fifteenth street , opposite cilcraon Square , may have boon n fairly oed ono , it was by no moans the best ilan , nor was it gonarally satisfactory. 'ho building MOS to have been n cheap tructuro , nnd would have boon nn ob- tctioimblo obtruction in n alroot that my nt no distant day bccomo an impor- nnt thoroughfare. Besides the location was hardly central enough. Under thcsn ircumstancos it is perhaps fortunate that 10 plan cannot bo carried out , How- ver , this is no reason why the market louse enterprise should bo allowed to io. Omalia nocda nnd must have n market house , nnd that , too , nt nn early ay. A central location should bo se eded nnd sufficient ground bo purchased , nd n largo and substantial brick market louse should bo builtjthcrcon. It is hoped liat the project trill continue to bo gitatcd by the board of trade until some oaaiblo nnd acceptable plan is agreed ipon. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ developments in the Penn > ank case nt Pittaburg revealed a stale of rottenness ns bad as that which the Grant & Ward failure showed. Hun- Irods of thousands of dollars have been piritod away or lost. It is doubtful if ho depositors can roali/o five per cent of their claims. The over-confident porous ous who sought n few days ngo to ward oil' the bank's failure by making deposits , or allowing deposits to remain , have now ittlo moro than bank-notes to show for , heir pains. That euch n staio of affairs ould have existed co long without diacov- iring is very strange1. Business must hive loon conducted in n delightfully easy nnd aroloss manner in Pittsburg to permit uch things to happen without crcatiii ! ; oven suspicion. Now that it is done , lowovor , there will bo a pretty loud demand on the part of the public that ; ho swindlers who have perpetrated the 'rand shall bo punished. There has boon -co much of this sort of thing going on n the last few years. It is time thai men who cannot respect the sacrodncss of n trust should at least bo made ta respect the law. The whole country ia ntorestcd in having the Enos , the Fishes , ho Brnbondors , nnd the rest of the swindling gang made nn example of. ONK of the best officials that Iowa bat is State Auditor Brown. Consequently ho ia the most cordially hated by the class to whoso schemes his oflico might bo vor serviceable. Ho is particularly dotostoi by the bogus insurance companies , whosi robberies on the public ho haa pretty effectually foctually stopped. By protesting to th last against the appointment of the rail road companion' candidate for commia aioncr ho has made himself equally odious to these corporations. A schom has consequently boon formed to defea his ronomination. The anti-monopolist of Iowa have now nn excellent chance t ahow their strength and earnestness. I they stand by the anti-monor5bly audito they can secure his ronomination nnd do fent the corporations nnd swindlers wh ( nro trying to slaughter him. CITY ATTOUNBY CONW.LL has given tc the city council nn opinion which has nr important bearing on the present liquo licensemuddle. . Under the prcaonl system the dealers pay their license mono ; in installments , upon the understanding that when they shall have paid thoii $1,000 they shall receive their license. It ia the opinion of the city attorney tha money thu ) deposited cannot bo with drawn unless license Is refused This opinion may have the effect of prevent ing the return of the money , but the whole system of collecting the license money is illegal ns the law distinctly sayt that the $1,000 must bo paid before a license shall bo issued. According to the present way of doing business the liquoi dealers have no license and nro in the nttitudo of violators of the law. MHH. BP.LVIA LOCKWOOD , the womai lawyer of Washington , is going nbout the country lecturing on "The Statesman a ho is nnd as ho ehould bo , " Shu take for examples of whut the statesman is nnd should not bo , Blaiiio , Edmunds Sherman nnd Logan. She loshoa al thoao men with great violence and cm find nothing in nny of them to admire When it is understood that Mr . Lock wood's idea of n statesman as ho shank bo is Bon Butler , surprise at her views o the others entirely subsides. Mrs. Lock wood seems to think that statesman am demagogue mean exactly the same thing IN order to unseat Oonyressmnn Mo Kinloy nnd make out a majority for Wnl lace , his upponont , It was necessary b count for the latter all votes that bor bven the remotest likeness to his name The contestant1 ! ! name is Jonathan II Wallace.

Of course ns soon ns anyone rotosU ngainst this land of outrage , it is nsworcd that the republicans have done s much of it ns the democrats. There s n trite but true ndngo that two wrongs o not make n right , which is applicable to this cane. It is time for ono party to mvo enough morality nnd regard for do- oncy to slop doing it , no matter what ho other may do , IT is nn outrage that the authorities hould continue to allow the Third ward chool house to b o surrounded by the owost houses of prostitution nnd the ilest dives nnd dons in the city. The ccopers of these places nro nil subject to ndictmont , and perhaps if the grand ury should take hold of this matter nnd ndict the whole gang n complete clean- ng out would bo the result. It in very ikcly that this matter will bo brought to lie attention of the grand juiy , nnd it it ncs its duty it cannot help finding n argo number of indictments. Some ncasuro of this kind is absolutely ncccs- ary for tbo reform of "Hell's Half Acre. " Tin : tax-payers of Omaha will not find ault with the city council for making Iber.il appropriations to extend nny im- tortnnt thoroughfare , whether it is Barnaul , Sixteenth , Cuming , Thirteenth , or nny other street.Yo must hnvo no- ess to the country , nnd there is no doubt hat the extension of those roads will enhance the value of property and there- > y return ton-fold in taxes what is now ixponded.

The efforts of this and othei conservative newspapers wore to a great extent successful. The immense crush of people which the managers of tha altod boom confidently nntlcipatcd , did not put in nn appearance , but it was bad enough. Thousands of ndvonturoua > ooplo braved the dangers of a desolate nountain country , all trails buried in snow , to find n glittering empty bauble on Pritchard's Creek , surrounded by leocing boarding houses and saloons. Ninety-nine out of every hundred pnr- sons who scaled the mountains in search of wealth are now returning , empty in Docket , foot-sore and fagged.

The Denver News believes the presonl year will furnish tangible evidence o the agricultural development of Colorado , The advancement in irrigation nnd thi increase of cultivated land during tin last five years has been so great that tin progress cannot bo fully realized. Thi partial collapse of mining in the stnt < has forced the people to turn their atton tiou to other and moro certain sourcoi of wealth. Irrigation was necessary ti make productive tlio barren plains of tin state. In Weld nnd Larimer countici hundreds of miles of now ditches havi been constructed nud hundreds of thou sands of acres of now land opened fo production. Arapahoe county , whict hitherto haa been void of agricultural in dustry , except In a ajunll way within thi vicinity of Denver , now opens up Bquar miles of now farms which will bo ladei with the cereals and all manner of pro ducts this summer , The Platte or High line canal alone haa boon the means of i marvelous advancement. Last year theri were only 3,500 acres irrigated by thi canal for cultivation. This year then will bo 15,000 ncres under cultivation The High-lino will irrigate betweoi BO.OCO and 75,000 acres , Insoutheri 11 Colorado thu outlook ia equally cheetful , I The lands in thu San Luis valley , sold b ; ( the state two years ngo , have boon tuupl ; ' 'supplied with water from the Hio Grande xnd the snlo in parcels , which has already begun , promises homes for many thou- iands of new settlers in that section. Within the past few years the increased nnd continued rains during the farming seasons have attracted attention with n ent deal of credence tb the eayinp , which has of Into bccomo n matter of much observation , that tnoisturo ia at tracted by human settlement nnd agricul ture. In some portions of the state last fear crops were raised nlmcst without irrigation. The indications now are equally favorable. Another railroad has been organized , on paper , in Salt Like City. It is called ; ho Utah ifc Wyoming railroad , with n capllal stock of § 3,500,000. The company - pany ia engineered by EH H. Murray , W. S. McCormick , Samuel Kohn , 0 , J. Hoi- istor of Salt Lake City nnd James D. tfegus of Osdon. The proposed road takes n northerly direction from the mot- r ipolis of the saints to the Great Salt Like vhich the company propose io navigate y the moans of steamboats nnd barges , o the northern shore in Box Elder coun- -y. _ From thence the road is to run to n : ) oint fit or near the city of Corinno , in 3ox Elder county , thence through the counties of Box.Eldor , Cache and llich .o n point on thu boundary line between ho territories of Utnh nnd Wyoming nt or near the mouths of Twin crooks. The ongth of the road will bo 11(5 ( miles. The object of the road is doubtless to se cure nn entrance to the coal fields of Wy oming and bring that nrticlo within roach of the people and railroads terminating nt Salt Lake City. A railroad company with a similar object in view was organ ized nbout n year ago but its managers soon dropped out of sight together with the road. The ) Union Pacific remains monarch of the coal fields. The struggle between Yank ton nnd Bismarck for the seat of government of Dakota is by no moana ended. Although the supreme court of the territory has declared in favor of Bismark , reversing the decision of the court below , Ynnkton proposes to carry it up to the supreme court of the United State,1) ) . This will prolong the heartache two years moro. Meantime the capitol luilditig nt Bls- mark is Hearing completion , the governor nnd treasurer have moved there , while the secretary nnd auditor still hold oflico as Yankton. It is possible , too , tlmt be fore n decision is reached in the court of last resort , the territory will ba divided and the southern half erected into n stato. This would give both cities the capital prize aud diminish lawyers' fees. The struggle will also bo carried into the legislature which meets next January. Efforts will bo mndo by the contending parties to either undo or sanction the work of the capital commission , nnd the biggest roll will tnko the persimmon. Heal estate in Bismarck has tnkon a bal loon leap while that nt Yankton romnins nt low-ebb. In consequence the feeling n both towns is extremely bitter. Governor Foster , of Ohio , is in Wash ington , conferring with capitalists , with a view to forming a company to construct n railroad from St. Louis to Utah , The road to bu built will bo known as the St. Louis , Kansas City and Western , of which Foster is to bo president , nnd H. 0. Cross , of Emporin , the vice-president. The road is to run from St. Louis to Kansas City , through the coal fields of Bates county , Mo. , Emporia , Pueblo , Denver , Load- ville and to n point between Colorado and Utnh. Articles of incorporation have already been filed with the secretary of State of Kansas. The capital stook of the company ia § 50,000,000.

Editor of The 15oo. In your editorial of the 21st , criticiainc the national anti-monopolists , I find the following : "Even in Nebraska , whore the party has an organization and a large nnd respectable following , the delcgatcf were appointed by Boino half-dozen mem bers of the state committee. To the credit of Nebraska delegates , bo it said they did not clamor for Butler. " 'ihia refers to the delegates to the antimonopoly - monopoly national convention ; snci it it so much an error that I ask you to maki a correction. There wflro liftocn mom- bora of the atato committee present al the meeting which appointed the dele gates. The princ'plo reason which impelled the atato committee to appoint instead ol calling district conventions was that moat of the active members of the anti-monep ely party in this atato are farmers , and the district conventions would occur in the midst of the planting seas > n , when farmers would not attend. The appoint ments were made subject to the approval of the district conventions , nnd tliu chair men of these committees and of county committees were at once inforrm d of that fact by circular. Tha notion of the state committee waa almost uniformly ap proved. Permit mo to add that the elite com mittee did not attempt to sot up any del egation for anybody. Eleven gentlemen wont from this state as delegates to the national convention , and the delegation added ono gentleman from the state who was in Chicago , which made twelve dele gates on the tloor from Nebraska. The vote stood on the informal ballot , Thur- tuan 5 , Butler 7. Yours truly , J. BUIIUOWH , Chairman A. M. State Com.
