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

Georgia is now endeavoring to dispose o

this law , as she has within ten year

Ing to the moct thoughtful who nra jeal

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

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

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

ndeod such a history probably , never

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. More anon.

der the title of "Three Decades of
Federal Legislation , 1855 to 1885. "
The character , ability mid oppoitunl-
tUa enjoyed by Mr. Ocx for knowing
whereof bo writes are n suflictent guar
anty that hln bosk will bo worthy cf gen
eral attention It ia highly commended
by many loading men of both political
partlco who have examined advance
shoots cf it. Mr. Ocx is a democrat , bub
in such a work cannot afford to bo a par
tisan , and wo need have no fear but
that his book will bo true to the
facts of hhtory , while with
out doubt ho will present the
theories of the constitution nnd govern ,
niont as hold by the democratic party.
Bis book will , however , will bo some the
loss but rather mora interesting and val
uable on this account. Every man
should and every fair minded man will
wont to read both sldeu , In this way
alone can wo got the whole truth , and
part of the truth may not only bo decep
tive but tbo greatest possible falsehood.
Wo hope and predict for the book a largo
sale and a careful rending. It ia sold
only by subscription and ia expected to
bo ready for delivery by August. The
illustrations are all of the boat steel line
engravings end , considering the style ,
quality , and size of the back ( over 700
pages , rcyal octavos , ) , the price is reason
able.
