THE Mexican government has bcon seized with a ipatru of economy. Thi reform has been caussd mainly by the extravagant railroad subsidies.

Thla Is an Increase of , GO , 000 In five years , This Is a very omal I Incroaao compared to that of Nebraska which in five yoara has aided over 300 , 000 to Its population. The largest city in Iowa is Dos Moinoa. which , with its suburbs , contains 40,000 persons , while Omaha , the largest city in Nebraska has a population of 60,000. THE BEE recently stated , on the an thorlty of the Omaha Herald , that the Plum Creek postnmter , who had been succeeded by a democrat , was removec for "offensive partisanship. " Wo have I/ received an anonymous and laconic note eaylng : "This is a lie. The present In cumbent coolly resigned.Vo take pleas nso In making this correction , as it Is 1m portant that tno "present incumbent' ' should bo eot right before the public. CAPTAIN HEUJCAN'S commlcslon as col lector of Internal revenue has not yet pn in an appearance. The cause of the delay Is an Inexplicable matter to him. Taking advantage cf its non-arrival , a nowcandl date for this office , the best in Nebraska , IIBS appeared In the field. His name is Shortvin , and ho halls from Fremont. Ho is said to bo Indorsed by four niliona commltteomcn , and live democratic con gresslonal candidates. Whether this in dorsomont Is more influential than the backing of the vice-president remains to be seen. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tun inoancit thing that was Bitcl tbo other day before the inter-state corn- morco committee was Mr. Gore's re- iponeo to the question whether ho was a Irlcnd of the railroads. The head of our bogus commission actually bad the temer ity to declare that ho was under no ob- lipatlonn" to the railroads. Could base Ingratitude farther go ? Why this man Gere Is the creature of the railroads. They made him what ho It. They gtvo him whatever prominence ho enjoys They have fed him and his paper for years , and ho Is obligated to the rail roads and their Influence for a sinecure of $2,000 a year , If Gere Is under no obligations to the railroads , who Is ? Tnr. Beaten Transcript says that "Miuonri seems to have achieved the § UM 4 moat complete and efficient license system in existence. " We move to amend by inserting Nebraska in tbo place of Mis sour ! . Wo do not think that oven the Mlesouriaus would object to this , The St , Louis Republican \ \ commenting upon the compliment given by the Trans cript says : MuaourliiDs knew their Hcenie lyitem was a very good one , ilnca It hoa materially diminished - minishod drinking , almost imtirely done away with Hie disorders bred by the old system , and largely increased the local revenues ; but in their modetty it did not occur to them to c'aliu ' the high honor accorded them by Hoij j ton papers. Ono merit due to our people must not be overlooked ; that of enacting the tliio- ient Ligb license- law two roars ago. and add- dluff a rigorous amendment to it now , with out agitation , opi > otition , and political excite ment , ADAMS ON VIADUCTS. The letter of President Adams , of the Union Pacific , to MayorUoyd , with re gard to the proposed viaducts across the railway trala In south Omaha Is In many respects a very remarkable document. Mr. Adams goes out of his way to lecture not only the mayor and council , but the whole business community of Omaha on their lack of metropolitan ideas concern ing railroad crossings. Ho bluntly tolls Mayor Bojd that the people of Omaha who clamor for the viaducts imagine that this la still a prairie village no declares the scheme as an Impractical ono so far as relieving the railroad or the pnblio from the risk and dangers , Incidental to travel am traffic across the tracks , is concerned , unless loss all the streets not viaductcd shall b closed. Mr. Adams suggests that if th council should not BOO fit to close Tent ! and other streets , it would bo the prop a caper to officially declare the Union PA cific depot and its approaches a nuisance and then the company would transfer a ! itstrafliato the otter side , except sncl as Is done with our elevators , coal yards smelting works , lumbsr yards , piolun houasn and stock yards. Wo have known Mr. Adnmi to bo man of serious and practical turn of mint in the literary field , but this appears t bo his first attempt to bccomo a humor 1st. When ho urged the abolition o Greek from the college course , ho oxhl bltod commendable common sense , bu whan ho proposes the abolition of trafli in Omaha , ho Is simply trying to perpetrate trate a horrible joke. But , granting that Mr. Adam is in dead earnest , and prefer to have his depot declared public nuisance , wo should deem th official declaration superfluous. . Tha depot has boon known far and wide an public nulsanco for the last twelve yearn Ills achcmo to do away with all tranafo and accommodation in Omaha Is by n means a now ono. His predecessor , Mr Dillon , went as far as ho pacslbly daroi go in the sumo direction , but Omaha ba came a city of 00,000 In spit of this aliort-alghtod policy. Doe Mr. Adams imagine that ho ca do business in Omaha without tracks and does lie expect to swing the west en of the bridge into Iowa ? As far as th viaducts are concerned they may alTon only partial relief , but they should b built for public convenience , a fact whlc does not seem t ? enter into the calcula tlons of railway managers. While It I true that under the law the railroad are not obliged to contribute to th building of these viaducts , they may fin it more expensive to maintain thoi tracks without the viaducts. Mr Adams docs not seem t realize that the public nulsanco in th shape of a depot on the wrong aide o the tracks has boon paid for by our cit zona to the enormous tune of § 200,000 in depot bonds. He forgets entirely tha under existing contrasts , whereby th Union Pacific accepted donations in land and bonds valued at fully a million del larf , there were obligations assumed b ; the railroad which have for years been evaded. Our people have shown extra ordinary forbearance under mos aggravating circumstances , and th throat of taking away th way station is not now mad for the first time. Those periodical cold naves have materially retarded th growth of this city , but they ara n longer regarded with serious approhon slon. The time is not distant when th managers of all the railroads will find I to their advantaga to seek the good wil of this community by accomodatln tholr patrons , and removing all causes o annoyance. 'THE STATE OF TRADE. The financial depression In Jtioxlc will undoubtedly seriously effect come o the heaviest Boston capitalists , who ore Investors In the Mexican railways , to which the government oubsldios have boon temporarily stopped by reason o the effort to cut down expenditures to the lowest possible degree In the hope o inaugurating an era of economic reform However , the financial stringency in Mexico will not bo felt In the United States , outside of one or two largo mono ; centers , and the persons all'dctcd are fortunately tunatoly those who can stand It. During the past week there has been but little change in the condition of trad throughout the Unltad States. The transactions are generally indicative only of the present requirements , money i abundant and cheap , and thcro Is com paratively little doing in the stock mar kot. The railroads are not by any moan doing a rushing business. Some are said t bo hardly paying expenses , while with some the traffic Is falling off. The ! business will not pick up much nntll the crops begin to move and the fall tradi opens , All this , of couwo , has Its offoc upon the stock market. Money rates wore never to low as they now are In Now York , Boston , Philadelphia am Chicago. Money virtually goes o-beg- ; lng for investment. The surplus is un precedented , and it is not earning profits 'or its owners. A recent Now York dis patch to the BEE said : The inference ia clear that the money has coma from those who have traded in fictitious or speculative values and tint tevere adverse esaona in that line have stopped operations inoro abruptly and to a greater aggregate han nny previous condition gave us reason to lehevo waa possible. There ia an important act mbdo apparent in ono caie , which li that money of itself boa lott much of its power to ontrol or even agitate the country , l-'or the [ me being it cannot oven move tlio [ stock market ) . It does not tempt ita owner into peculation , for they have no confidence in Ita wwer. What is it good for when a call of loans can ba had almost for nothing ! In regard to merchandise ) values It is generally believed that they have touched bottom. Tbo present dullness In com * merolal affairs Is eeatonable , and excites comment only because it marks the clos ng of an exceedingly slngglth and nn profitable half year's business , The feel ng as to fall trade prospects Is generally cheerful , but there is not much tllsposl , lon to glvo prno'ical bent to hopeful an ticlpatlons until the toason fs further ad vancod. Last week's failures In the United States and Canada number 205 as against 220 the previous week and 20 ! the week before. Failures are light ant unimportant In all sections. TUB holders of wcol in the prlnclpa eastern markets express more confidence in the future , although there is no per ccptlblo Improvement in prices and th demand is limited to the Immediate want of customer ; . The cotton market ha ruled a tlmlo firmer speculatively , because cause exports have iricrcaecd and th stocks are in more manageable shape fo manipulation against n larger short In torcst ; but legitimate trade Is no better and actual cotton is available as low as it was a week ago. The di goods trade shows the usual botwcon-asa sons dullness , but promises groate activity a few weeks hence , when jobber will begin to prepare for fall wants There is very llltlo demand for anthraeit coal , and the general condition of th trade is unsatisfactory , wllhprlccs Inclin ing strongly in buyers' favor. The ire trade situation is without improvomenl In regard to grain the Philadolphi llccord in its weekly review says : Thcro has been nddcd thia week a sligL improvement In crop reports from eomo BBC lions ot the winter-wheat belt where the liar vest lias developed better results tha bad been previously anticipated. Speculatlv operations have attested lees confuicnca in th immediate fuluro of the market , and th bollot haa become general that lower price must bo mndo to move a portion of the proson largo accumulation of old wheat before th effect of the shortage in the row crop cau b permanently felt in the inaikot. Theio ha been n considerable decrease in the stock o wheat afloat from all parts of the world t Great Britain and the Continent , and a emal falling oil in the United States visible eupply by which the total amount in sight haa bee reduced from G1G40COU bushels to 50,050.00 bushels , but thia favorablechanijointhostati tical position haa not been Buflicient to chcc the downward course of prices. Trade opln ion generally inclines to thu belief that price will rule higher during the coming fall nn winter months , but present stocks are e largely In excess of the requirements , on tLero ia so httlo proepect of any linmediat improvement in the export demand , that epec ulatora hceltato to back up the r opinions b actual investment on the eve of harvest , Th corn trade situation ia without rnatcrla change. There have boon large arrivals o Danubian corn off the const of the Unite Kingdom , nod the export demand for Amor can corn has been rather less active , thoug fair , at slightly lower prices. There is com paratively little speculation in the easier markets , and the abtence of support from thi sourca and the necessity of meeting lowe limits on English orders accounts for th week's decline of 1 to 1J cents per bushel i seaboard prices. At Chicago values hav boon well maintained. Tha interior move merit ia moderate , and supplies generally ar under remarkably good control. CIVILIZED INDIANS. The recent visit of Senator Ingalls i the civilized tribes of Indians in the In dlan territory will no doubt result bone Cclally for the interests of the rod man The senator has become convinced by what ho has seen that the Indian can become como civilized. The sudden onllghtonmcn which ho has received on this eubjec has made him an enthusiast In the causa of the aborigines. He found in the In dlan territory regularly organized courts with an elective judiciary , and ho loarcc that crime was punished the name as In communities of whites. The standard o commercial honor is so high among thoc civilized Indians that no laws ar needed for the collection of debts , Thi is rather a suggestive fact to the whites Education is encouraged in over ; possible way , ono half the entire revonn of the Ohcrokoos being devoted to schoo purposes. School houses , with cotnps tent teachers , are to be seen evcrywhor among the communities of these advance ! Indians. Two colleges , ono for cad sex , are maintained in a very crcdltabl manner , the buildings being substantla and commodious structures. A certalnnum her of the graduates each year are cent to various eastern colleges. Thoto peopli are contoutod with their tribal form o government , but fear that the admission of whites will have a tendency to dls turb and upeot their government. They have no objection , however , to the ad mission of other tribes of Indiana to th < territory ; but they do want the whites ox eluded , Theeo Indians are all in a pros of porous condition. The conclusion can not bo otherwise than that all the tribes Indians in thii country can bo brough to the same degree of civilization as the Oherokees and other civilized Indians In the Indian territory if the proper stops are taken. Of course It will require tlmo and attention , but it is well wor.h the trouble. The Indian problem can easily bo solved in this manner , and wo venture that Senator Ingalls will at the first op poitnnlty advocate some civilizing measure uro In regard to the Indiana generally. SENATOR VANWYCK has remained in Washington up to this tlmo for the pur- iose of having enforced the anti-fencing arr , In which ho took so much Interest and exerting every effort to have pasaod. A dlfferonco of opinion hai arisen with egard to this law , Those who were ao- Ive in securing its enactment maintain bat it directs the president without uestlon , to take summary measures to omovo Illegal fences from the public omaln at once , and if necessary the military h to bo mod , Some of the of- cers of the oiblnot , however , hold that 10 law was not doiigncd to glvo the resident any such summary power , and hat its only object was to give to the onrts jurisdiction over the oaaeo in uostion , and"at the same tlmo to give icm efficient means of enforcing their orreea. Thus the matter rests at pres- ' cnt. If loft to the courts , the law wil bo practically nullified , as the cattlemen will owing to the usual delays of the law be enabled to remain undisturbed for a considerable tlmo yet. Senator Van Wyck's efforts thus far have boon directed od towards Inducing the president to coincide with him ia the v.Iow that the law means just what it siyc , that the military shall bo used ns a civil poss comitalus if need be. Ir Is to bo hoped , says the St , Lout aiobC'Dcmocrat , that ono or more American mllitiaj organizations will ac cept the invitation which will bo oxtcndec from the volunteers of England , and vial that country next spring , as "wo hav militia regiments in the United Slate which , in point of drill and proficionc in the manual of arms , will bear favor able comparison with any of the voluntco troops of England or any other country and will bo at no great disadvantage oven side by aide with the foreign rcgu I are. " The high compliment paid to th American rullitta by the Olobc-Dcmo oral is not undeserved. Take , for in stance , the Nebraska militia , than whic there is no more gallant or liner appear ing body of men anywhere. | The whol natter ia respectfully referred to Co ! Colby , and wo hope that arrangement will bo mndo to have our Nebraska millli properly represented at the coming milt tary display in England. THERE is a law In Now York stat which forbids savings banks from invcsl In ? in the bonds of any otato that ha defaulted within ton years. The state o Georgia is now endeavoring to dispose o a largo amount of bonds in Now York but is having come trouble on account o this law , as she has within ten year defaulted in the payment of both interns acd principal of debts authorized by he legislature.

Your correspondent will alao ask to lay befoio your army of readers , in this and future missives , the views and senti ments of Mr. Oharlcs Francis Adams , the able and patriotic citizen , on the transportation problem , whish Is demand ing the attention of our nation from ct li ter to circumference , and which Is alarmIng - Ing to the moct thoughtful who nra jeal ous of the perpetuity of free institutions and the rights of free men , and I will fain hop : that the honest views of Mr. Adams as the citizen may bo engrafted into the policy and management ot the great corporation cf which ho now hns control. Ho may now _ inaugurate with the power which ho vroildi ao president of the Union Pacific railway that condi tion of affairs in this country which exists in Belgium by reason of government con trol of otic-third of the railways of that country ( nhtch control of the one-third really rixca the policy which the whole are compelled to pursue ) . I quote from Mr. Adarno , and preecnt tbo picture cs drawn In his own faultiest ! langncge , beginning - ginning with his first etsay and from time to tlmo will spread It before our people with the hope that It may result in arousing the masses to a slight conception of the grave recponol- blllty resting upon thorn as contributors to the success and perpetuity of popular government. Mr. Adams says : "Kot a generation has patssd away in the last GOO years without cherishing a more or lost earnest conviction that , through its of f01 ts , something of the animal had bee eliminated from the higher typo of man Probably , also , no generation has bee wholly mistaken in nourishing this faith Even the worst haa In some wsy loft thi race of men on earth better in somcthln than It found them. And yet It wouli not be dlfiicult for another Rousseau t frame a very ingenious and plausible ar gnment in support of the opposite view , 'Scratch a Russian. ' said the first Na poleon , 'and you will find a Coesack. Call things by their right names , and 1 nonld bo no difficult task to make th cunning civilization of the Nineteenth century appear but aa'a hypocritical manic spread over the mere honest brutality o the twelfth. Pirates are commonly sup posed to have been hung out of existence when the Barbary porters and the hue canoers of the Spanish-Main had boon finally dealt with ; yet "free-hooters" an not extinct ; they have only transferred their operations to the land aud conducted them In mcro or less accordance with th forma cf law , nntll at last so great a pro ficloncy have they attained that the com merce of the world is more equally , bu far more heavily , taxed in their behal than would over have entered into thoi wildest hopes. While outside the law , they simply made all comers stand and deliver ; now , too , they no longer live in terror of the rope , skulking in th hiding-place of thieves , but ilaunt them eclvoa Iny&o resorts of trade and fashion ; and dlsdatntng such titles as once satis Cod Ancient Pistol , or CaptalnMachratb they are oven recognized as presideni tills or colonel that. Certain detcrlptlona of gambling has yearo slnca csatod to bo fashionable. In this roepect a victory Is claimed frr advancing civilization. Yo Ibis claim would eccm to be unfounded. Gambling is a business now where for merly it was a disreputable excitement. Dhe&tiiiR at cards was always disgraceful ; transactions of a similar character under , ho cuphonlslia names of operating , cornering , etc. , are not so regarded. Leg- slatlvo bribery and corruption wore within recent memory looked upon ns misdemeanors peculiar to the period of Walpole and Fox , their revival in thence nco of modern public opinion was bought to bo impassible , A sad delu sion was certainly entertained. Govern ment and ministries no longer buy the raw material of legislation at least noi openly or with cash in hand. The same cannot bo said of individuals nnd corpor ations. Judicial venality and ruflianlam on the bench were not long since tradi ions of remote past , llecont revelations mvo cost more than doubt upon the cor rectness oven of this assumption , The complete history of these proceedings : annot bo written for the end is not yet ; ndeod such a history probably , never will bo written and yet it ia atlll more irobablu that thu oventi It would record : an never bo forgotten. " Your correspondent will ask permission o quote from Mr. Adams , in a series of articles to the BKH. As ho now holds tbo losition of president of the Union Pacific allwoy , and what ho has given as his lonest opinion as a private citizen may > o taken as authority for thr > masses to round their fears upon of corporation .omlnation in our free America , Mr. kdams stated before the inter-state com mittee in your city last week that the reo transportation granted by the Union 'aclfio railway amounted In the aggregate o 82,000.00 per day. Mr. Thomas Kim- tall stated to the question of what per ont. of the travel on the Union Pacific allway was D. n. before the special illrcad committee of the eighteenth EOJ- Ion of our state legislature that In the iggregato it was tnro per cent. Now if > oth of these gentlemen wore correct the otal income from passenger faros would o 8100,000 per day or § 36,500,000 per nnum or else the company are giving many more "paisea" than was given two ears ago. I am also amused at the post- on the Ilepublicoti of your city so per- etontly maintains , that if an Individual r company happen to possess sufficient calth to secure the holding of a larger lortlon of the traffic of the country they1 nust need protection and advantages ver the man of lees wealth , and who annot do business upon so large a icale. Da the tame theory our govern ment should furnish mall facilities for lets to the larger patrons of that department that is , eoll slatnps at whole- lo for less than where only ono , or n dtsnn are bought. The simp rule would apply in ono with as much jnstico as the other , for the timplo reason that the rail roads are chartered by the people for the vuo of all the people , and if not equally to all alike , the very fundamental princi ple upon which our Trholo government fabric is founded , must bo undermined , as freedom and ( quality in all things , not favoritism , where the power of the particular thing created is derived from the government , state or national , which Is the people , must bo granted. Really the Republican must bo presuming upon the ignorance of the people , for Mr. Nye has certainly studied the politleil econ omy of his country for more profit thin this position would indicate.
