THEUE Is no discrimination on account
o ! sex among the teachers In the Omaha
publio Bjhools. The fcnulo toachora got
ns good pay as the average m lo teacher.
Ex-COMMANDWl GOUKINOE , Of the
United States nary , Is dead. Ho Is the
naval officer who superintended the trans
portation ot the obellak from Egypt to
New York.
P09EY S. WILSON , who has n mania
for seeing bis nanio In print , has been
heard .from again , ilo his been ap
pointed mollcr of the Denver mint , and
wo sh ll not bo surprised to see Potcy'a
name ulampcd on the silver precautions
of that establishment.
IhcoiNB baa become an elephant upon
the hands of the administration. Presi
dent Cleveland would llko to unload him
Bomowhorc , and Secratar/ Manning Is at
last Inclined the same way , but neither
knows what to do with him or where to
put him. Ho will probably bo asiigacd
to some berth oatuldo the treasury de
partment , which will bo letting him down
easy.
SUI'EIUNTEKDENT JAME.3 has decided to
take the responsibility of recommending
for election those teachers whom ho con
sider. ! qualified. The teachers elected
at Monday night's msotlDg of.tho . board
of education were all recommended by
him. This la eminently proper , for no
one ought to know better than the su
perintendent who the compatent and
official toachora are. .
TUB BEE recently maio tha atitom ont
that Omaha had no bonds drawing less
than six per cent. The city treasurer ,
Mr. Buck , Informs us that this la a slight
mistake. Omahn has sold § 370,000 of
five per cent , bonds and most of them
were sold at a premium. A portion of
her six per cent , bonds was sold at a pre
mium so largo as to make the rate of in
terest on the proceeds losa that five per
cent. _ _ „ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIE Saturday half holiday which la
becoming mora and mora popular each
week In $ Tow York , is rapidly gaining
favor In other largo cities , and very liJ-
ly It will soon became an established cus
tom all over the country. In Now 3Tork
the employers who give their employes a
Saturday half holiday do not as a rule
make any reduction In their week's wages
on that acoount. They consider that
they will bo moro than compensated by
the moro choorfal and bettor eorvlco that
will bo rendered by reason of the half
holiday. *
THEHE are ever 300 applicants
for the four appointments at largo
to the next class to enter the mili
tary academy at West Point. Tbo presi
dent will probably make the appoint
ments this wo ok , Among Iho candidates
is the son of Gen , Haggles , formerly sta
tioned at Omaha as adjutant general of
the department of the Platto. Young
Buggies la endorsed by General Grant ,
and stands a very good chance of bo Ing
one of the four appointees. Ho la an
Omaha boy , and his friends In this city
hopa that ho will bo aucccBifnl.
TUB gobd prices that are being paid at
the Omaha Union stockyards ara begin
ning to toll. Three hundred head of cattle -
tlo were sold at the yards on Monday at
prlcef ranging from § 5 to § 3.25 , and a
train of twelve card Is now on route to
the yards from Northern Nebraska. This
is the first big shipment from that part of
the state. Hitherto all catlo from North
ern Nebraska have been shipped direct to
Chicago , and they would still bo shipped
there were it not for the fact that as good
prices can be obtained in Omaha , Us-
eidos , a haul of five hundred miles Is
saved by shipping to Omaha. The avoid ,
anco of the long haul to Chicago makes a
great tuvlng In the weight of cattle , and
hence this makes Omaha prices really
better than Uioco of Chicago.
Tin ; Omaha board of trade ia evident
ly going to altop again. The fact la
that thera la a lamontabla lack of Ufa iu
thla organlzlion. . The meetings are
very poorly nUended , and whatever
business there Is bofora the board drags
along at a analPa. paeo. The members
ought to attend every mooting , If for no
other purpose than to show that they
take some little Interest In the wolfara of
Omaha as represented in the board. One
of the moat Important enterprises in
Omaha , the building of the chamber of
commerce , la hanging fire simply on ac
count of the inactivity of the board of
trade. Thera cortalnly'onght ' something
to bo done at once towards pushing this
project. The ground has been secured , '
and the next step Is to obtain the money
f r the building , which ought not to bo a
very difficult matter ,
\
NOTWITHSTANDING the financial failure
of the Now Orleans exposition , the people >
ple of that city have determined to make
another effort , How they can expect to
make their second attempt a success , si
without the government aid that was extended - sipi
tended to the first exposition , ia a problem - tl
lem that they will no doubt have some tloj
difficulty in solving. The management ojA
of the now enterprise Is in the hands of tb
seven resident and sixteen non-resident lo
loat
directors. The company hai a capital of at
$500,000 , and the main object of tha
exposition it stated to bo to encourage th
moro intimate commercial relations with re
the Central and South Atnerloin states , an
but few foreign diaplays from other conn- lei
tries being sought or expsctod , but wo Tl
suepect that the real object after all In to th
make another winter boom for the hotels , wi
homes and restiurnnls. an
OMAHA. AND THE RAILROADS ,
According to the Omaha Herald It la a
delusion to "ttlll nurse and credit the old
nonsense" that Omaha would now have a
population of 100,000 "if some railroads
had done something , or omitted to do
somethlot ; , ton years ago. " It Is well
known that the editor of the Ucrntd
views the eltuatlon from a very peculiar
and Interested standpoint. The deluded
men , to whom ho refers , number about
ninety-nine out of every hundred , and
they will contlnuo to entertain the be
lief that had the railroads acted fairly
with Omaha this city would to-day have
contained 100,000 people. The railroads
have helped to build up St. Paul , Kansas
Oily , Donvar , and other western cities ,
but for Omaha they have not only done
nothing but they have taken from her
many hundred thousand dollars without
giving any equivalent worth mentioning
and have in various ways retarded her
growth. In S5. Paul , Kansas City , nnd
Danvor the railroads have built msgnlfi
cent and commodious nnlon depots , but
in Om ha they have given us miserable
apologies for depots. Everybody knows
that if the manager * of the Union Pacific
had boon faithful to their obligations ,
which they incurred with Omaha , wo
would have had a larger population than
Kansas City. The present management ,
however , ia not to blame for thla condi
tion of affairs , as it came Into an Inher
itance which Included the cowshed , or
ronoonaly cillod o depot , which oven
Dillon and Gould admitted was on abor
tion , and would bo a disgrace to any city.
That cowshed still remains , on eye sere
to our cltiEons and a nuisance to the
traveling public. In spite of the ob
atrnctlvo policy of the railroads , however ,
Omaha has reached a population of GO-
000 , and she will contlnuo to grow with
out the assistance and friendship of the
railroads. With their aid and co-opera
lion , however , such as other cities receive
from railroads , she would grow much
moro rapidly. But Iqavlng by-gones to
bo by-gonos , the time has como for
Omaha to assort her Independence and
her rights. Wo have a right to expect
and demand proper accommodations for
the present population of Omaha , and for
the population that Is to como. The clt-
zons of Omaha do not propose to say just
how their relief shall come , but they do
insist that they shall bo fairly treated and
properly accommodated. If the railroad
companies will erect a union depot north
of the tracks , a great deal of the Incon
venience and danger now complained
of will bo done away with. This
la en ? of the very first stops
to bo taken by the railroad corporations
if they wish to secure and retain the
good frill of the people cf Omaha , and
compeneato them for the abuses that
have been Inflicted upon them In times
past. '
When wo glvo the railroads the right
of way through the streets we have a
right to Insist that they shall protect citizens
zons , who are compelled to traverse tholr
track , against accidents. Right of way
is certainly very valuable and In some
cities railroads ara obliged to purchase it
at a great expense. The Baltimore &
Ohiowhich Is now entering Philadelphia ,
will have to expend several millions for
its right of way. When Omaha shall in
sist on payment for right of way through
the streets the railroads will roaliza what
It la worth. At present they do not
seem to appreciate its value. When wo
want a llltlo viaduct built they demand
that the city shall pay half the expense.
It Is so in nearly every other improve
ment In which the railroads are Inter
ested , and the expense of which should
bo entirely berne by them. It Is hoped
that the now management of the Union
Pacific at least will inaugurate a now and
moro liberal policy in dealing with
Omnha ,
A SUGGESTION TO THE MORMONS
The successor ot Brlgham Xonng and
the Mormon leaders generally have at
last reached the conclusion that as a di
vine institution polygamy has * about run
its race In this country. They fully re
alize that the Irroproaslblo conflict bi-
twoon our civilization nnd tliii relic of
barbarism mutt Inevitably end in the de
struction of the Mormon hierarchy un
ices it decides to glvo up polygamy aa the
cardinal dostrlno of the Mormon church.
In thla crisis Joseph Taylor aud his asso
ciates bavo bcon seriously contemplating
the removal of the Mormons to a country
where the privilege of any man to marry
as many women as ho desires to support
will not bo questioned or Interfered with.
When the Mormons started tor Utah
in 184G that territory was a part of
Mexico , and Brigham Yonnj , who was
seeking to got beyond the dominion of
the American flag , expected that itwould
remain so. At the close of the Mexican
war , however , Gen. Fremont brought
about the annexation of California , New
Mexico , and Utah , and the Mormons
'ouad themselves still within the juris-
llotlon of the United States govern ,
n ont. To old Mexico , therefore , the
\Iormona have ono more directed tholr
ittontlon. It wai recently reported that
numbur of them had explored ono of
ho elates of Mexico , with a view of os-
abluhlng a permanent abode for the
alnta that ara irrevocably attached to .
olygaray.Thls Bohemohoweverhas fallen
brough. The Mexican republic Is as much
pposed to plural marriage ai oar own.
.11 asylum in Mexico for the Mormons .
ioreforo would bo of brief dnratlon , ua >
us they ohoso to abiudoa polygamy , n
ad that of course would leave them no
vantage over remaining In Utah , If
IB Mormons are rosily In earnett with
gari to building np a atito with polyg- [
ny as its corner-stone , they must again
ok toward the setting sun for a location ,
bore Is a country far from the sight of ° f
10 American flag and the Pacific coast ,
bora they might establish themselves ,
id wliera the divine Inttitution could i
flourish and blossom as the rose ,
and bo undisturbed for generations
upon generations. Wo refer to the
Sandwich Islands , In the middle of the
Pacific ocean. The kingdom of Kalakaua
has for some years been In the market ,
and oven now , It Is reported , an agent of
his royal majesty Is In this country for
the purpose of selling the Islands to the
United States. Hero , then , is the oppor
tunity for the Mormons , to whom wo
make the valuable suggestion in a
friendly spirit. If the Mormon problem
in this country ia to bo tcttlcd by emigra
tion , wo know of no bettor place in the
world for them to go to than the Sandwich
Islands , The Inlands themselves are rich
in natural resources , and potscssea a
healthy climate. The natives it is true
are dying off from loproty , but that Is no
fault of the islands , That they need to
bo rcpooplcd with a sturdy and produc
tive clars such as the Mormons are there
Is no question. There Is no limit to the
possibilities open to the Mormons should
they purchase the domain of King Kala-
kaua and bolld up a hierarchy In mid-
ocean. The Idea Is as practical as the
ono that led them acroea the plains to
Utah.
NEDUASKA CITY rejoices over the fact
that another largo packing house Is to bo
built thero. Thoco are the kind of estab
lishments that add wealth and population
to a city , and aid materially in aolvlng
the cheap transportation problem. Any
thing that condenses the bulk of our
products cheapens transportation.
THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
According to R. G. Dun & Co.'s semi
annual circular the failures In the United
States for the six months ending Juno
30th , number 0,004 , an Increase of 494
ever the corresponding period of 1884.
There Is n marked decline , however , in
the liabilities of the first half of the
present yoar. They amounted to $74-
000,000 , while In the first half of 1884
they footed up § 124,000,000. During
the past six months Nebraska had eighty
four failures , with liabilities amounting
to $449,054 , while for the corresponding
period of 1884 the number of failures
were seventy , and liabilities $210,700.
This shows that she has doubled her Ua
bllitiea. In speaking of the failures and
business generally Duu'fl circular says _ :
With trade restricted In volume to the nar
rowest limits , and with profits almost obliter
ated , an increased number of failures is surely
not astonishing : , Competition , over produc
tion , with heavy business expenses , compared
with the small amount of trade to bo done ,
could result in llttla else than growth in mer
cantile casualties. But that the increase is
Dot an excessive one , and that the indebted
ness Involved shows a great decline , Is a moat
hopeful eign. It should also bo borne in
mind that the greater part of the increase in
number of failures occurs in the first quarter
of the year , and Hint during the second quar
ter the diminution is very narked , while lia
bilities bhow an enormous reduction. It is
pretty near safe to conclude , from the figures
we thus present , that the conditjon of the in
ternal commcrco la an Improving ono , and
that the failure statistics are of a much more
hopeful import than It waa thought could bo
expected , in vlow of the depression , restric
tion , and untatisfactorlnoss of business gen
erally. That the failures are of much loss
Importance than heretofore is shown by the
decrease In the average liabilities , which In
the last quarter show $12.000 per failure , as
against $38,000 for the corresponding quarter
of 1884 , and S18.0CO In 1883.
It would not bo surprising if , with the les
sened indebtedness which it is our good for
tune to report , there should be a conclusion
that business has a much more hopaful proa-
than for . , * *
psct now aon.e years past
* The monetary condition existing at
this time , as compared with that of last year ,
shows a contrast so marked as to have
the utmost significance in relation to prospects
for the future. To-day , howovi r , a precisely
opposite condition of things existu , Money in
so abundant as to go Legging , and though
confidence Is still wanting , and it is difficult
to induce permanent investments , yet the ten
dency In thu direction of expansion must soon
sgtln. The necessities of the daily laborer
for ( ho provision of his family , are not moro
exigent than thosB of the capitalist for the
profitable employment of his money , With
this conviction , It is the beliet of not a few
that very soon must como a desire for invest
ments that will yield coma return , and
thus etimulate every branch of businean , and
beget a return to greater activity , Increased
speculation , nnd extension into now and
profitable undertakings. The rich men of trio
country hate euu" rod in proportion to n far
greater extent than the poor men. The low
price of breadstuff and the cheapness of com
munication , as the result of excessive com pe
tition on a declining traffic , have been actual
advantages to men of small meane , In that the
cost of living nnd transportation 1ms been re
duced in greater proportion than the wages or
incomes of tha rank and file of the commu
nity. While the purchasing power of money
has been greatly enlarged , the amount of ,
money paid to men In employment has not
diminished In anything like tha same proportion
tion , It is true , lhat in vast Hrecbos of
territory , farmers have not realized tbo profits
hitherto attending their efforts , And their debt
paying power , both for Interest and current
bills , has been greatly diminished ,
Consumers are reany m a Better condition
thao they were a year ago , and with that , In
view of the low stocks of merchandise in nil
hands , tbe decrease in internal indebtedness ,
the lessened number of failures , the low prices
for living , and tbe steady tendency towards
economy which the year has witnetsed , there
Is much ground for the belief that the autumn
business will bo in the main satisfactory. '
IVith the probabilities of a fair yield of agrl-
mltural products in the west and northwest , -
.he good promise of the cotton crop in the
icutb , wild tbo Increased Immigration of the
lest class which thus far tha year has shown ,
vith a plethora of money at low-rates , a set-
led financial policy , and the abie&co of polit- '
cal excitement , there ought to be no roteou U
rhy n marked Improvement In buslnoes should al ;
tot cnsno.
St
In regard to Nebraska Dun's circular has th
bit to say ; Nebraska has never teen a total nu
liluro iu crops. Kach , year , with one excel.-
on , has surpassed the precsding la the pro 112 pete
action of crops , and , owing to the vastly In- to
reaied immigration to this state , the acreage
corn and small grain Is rapidly Increasing
artlculirly in the north and northwestern nb
tin
ortlon , where tha "Had Land * , " formerlyxe- up t
irded as only fit for grating , nro fast becom
sett'ed ' by farming communities , and pros- te :
porous towns are springing up 'n ' their midst.
This encroachment upon the grazing lands Is
resulting in the giving of more attention to
the feeding and preparation for market of
western cattle , which has largely increased
tbo past yoar. The largo itock yardi and
packing houses lately established in Omaha
are doing much to foster this branch ot trade.
It is estimated that Omaha will , with the
present census , ( how * n increase of population
from 30,600 In 18SO to GO.C03 at the present
time. The present outlook for both merchant
and farmer is flattering , nnd a good healthy
fall trndo Is anticipated.
BlIiiLISlUSMS ,
Dr. Ttllllor's Democracy Compared
with the Party Platform.
To the Editor of the BEE.
In your psper of Juno 00th I road the
opinions of Dr. Miller as given before the
iutor-otato commcrco commlttco. I was
astonished at the sentiments thera ex
pressed on the railroad question. Dr.
Miller claims to bo n democrat ; so do I.
Ills democracy Is not cf my kind , or that
of the democratic party as expressed In
their platforms for moro than seventy
years. It la not democracy. I speak of
Mr. Tlldon for the reason that'Dr. Miller
thinks that ho ( Olden ) , Is iho Christ of
the democratic party , and infallible.
The doctor claims to bo an intimate asso
ciate of Tllden and Seymour , and
boasts of It very frequently In order that
the common trash ( llko myself ) of the
democratic party In Nebraska may look
upon and reverence him ao the pope of
the democratic party in this state , and
acknowledge , him as the only true ex
ponent of its principles. I wish to say
to Dr. Miller that thu laboring men nnd
farmers of the democratic party of
Nebraska will not follow hla lead nor
submit to his dictation. They do not
condone his monopoly principles. How
can they acknowledge him as a loader
and exponent of the principles of the
democratic party when ho assorts that ho
Ia a monopolist himself ?
Monopoly Is antagonistic to the professed -
fossod principles of the democratic party
no expressed in all of Its platforms. Dr.
Miller cannot repudiate the democratic
platform of 1870 'upon whlcn Tlldon
stood when ho ran lor the presidency.
A protective tariff , the democratic p ty
claims , fosters monopolies. Upon this
question the Tildes democratic platform
says :
'We denouncs the present tariff levied
upon nearly 4,100 articles as a masterpiece of
injustice , Inequality nnd falsa practice. * *
It has Impoverished many industries to subsi
dize a few. * * * It has cut down the
sales of American manufactures at homo and
abroad nnd depleted the returns of American
agriculture , an Industry followed by half our
people. It costs the people five times moro
than it produces to the treasury , obstructs the
process of production and wastes the fruit a of
labor ; It promotes frauds , fosters smuggling ,
enriches dishonest officials , and bankrupts
fionest merchants , "
I do not wish to do the doctor Injus
tice. If I understand his position on
the tariff question ho is ono of the Sam
Randall kind of democrats , who bollevei
in fostering monopolies by congrotslonal
legislation , in the hops of a high protect
ive tariff ; in other words , that the gov
ernment should throw its protecting arm
around the monopolists. Sam Jlandall'a
and Dr. Miller's democracy Is not the
democracy of the democratic party , at
least the democratic party of Nebraska.
If Dr. Miller adheres to such democracy ,
the democracy of this stata will sit down
upon him ; ho will got left.
The doctor says : "I bollevo that the
public grants to the railways of the west
ern states has been the greatest blessing
over bestowed upon'n government of the
peoplo. " As the doctor gauges his dem
ocracy by the Tlldon standard , lot us sco
what the Tildon platform of 188C says
rjpon that point. Hero it is ;
"Reform ia necessary to put a stop to the
proil'gato ' waste of the public lands and ihejr
diversion from actual settlers by the party ia
power which has equandered 200.000.COO of
acres alone , and out of mere than that aggre
gate has disposed of lees than a sixth to the
tillers of the soil. "
The doctor says that the squandering
of these 200,000,000 of acres of public
lands upon the railways of the western
states Has been ' 'tho greatest blessing
ever bestowed upon a government of the
people. " The same reasoning carried out
would make it a greater blessing still if
the government had donated every acre
of public lands to the railways. Upon
the question of land grants Tllden stood
upon the platform of the democratic
party. Dr. Mlller'a democracy Is bogus.
Upon the canal question ho stands today -
day where the party in power in 187C
stood , aud It was not the democratic
party.
The doctor says "that this city ( Oma
ha ) , owes its existence to the Union Pa-
cllio. " I bep ; leave to differ with him.
The Union Pacific \voald have been al
most powerless to benefit Omaha
or tha west if it had not been
for the lines of rallsroya from
Galcapj to Onuba , What would tbe
Union Pacific have been without eastern
conuoctlonB ? I cannot coo how Omaha ia
any more indebted to the Union Pacific
than to its eastern connections. I think
Doctor Miller owes bis pressnt promin
ence and prosperity in life to the Union
Paclfio. Ho Is the creature of that f'lant
monopoly which had its origin fn railroad
legislation which ho so much condemns a
unlesj It Is In the interest of the railroads.
Ho believes in legislation for the roads but
not for the people as against the roads.
Ho believes "In absolute free trade in [
'
railroads , " but in no other class of butl-
nets. How Dr. Miller can reconcile his
Individual democracy with the democracy
of tha party to which he proposes to be ;
long is a conundrum the democratic
party of Nebraska cannot solve. There ;
are those that want cilice that cling to the
Boat-tail of the doctor , but the hard
working misses of the democratic party
In this state have no use for him.

Crushing the American Laborer.
Chicago Herald ,
Although many poop lo are ont of em
ployment in the town of Hamilton ,
Mass. , the owners of several factories
thera banded together the other day and
imported throa hundred and fifty French
Canadians to work in their mills. The
French-Canadians are the cheap laborers
of Now England , and the extent to which
tholr importation on contract has been
carried on has mora than once been the
subject of remark. The recent importa
tion at Hamilton was so flagaant , owing
to the largo number of unemployed men
and women already In the city , that it is
Impossible for any ono to escape the
conclusion that the movowas a deliberate
blow at American Industry by men who
are the loudest in their protestations of
a desire to help thai interest. Workingmen -
men who have long been deceived by the
glittering tariff bait ihat hai been hold
ont to them must perceive in movements
of this kind an attack on their welfare
moro dangerous than any frco trade
regime , oven if it were as bad ca it has
been painted , could bo. The cheap
laborers , whoao products American workIngmen -
Ingmen are thought to regard with such
trepidation , are hero Imported to Amer
ica to glut the labor market and take em
ployment away from citizens alrotdy here ,
while the employer reaps the benefit of a
tariff monopolized market. The practice
is a monstrous wrong and it must ao ap
pear to every ono who takes the trouble
to examine it.
The industries of Now Eagland , whosa
owners are among the most zealous de
fenders of the tariff idea , are to-day
largely carried on by French Canadians.
The old-timo worklngmen , mechanics and
mill hands of that ecction have been
crowded out by iho cheaper labor which
has been found in abundance north of
the International boundary , and they ara
now scattered all over the western states ,
It Is not assorted that all tbesa paoplo
were imported , bnt that thousands of
thorn were , and ( hat other thoutands
came because Americans were at last
forced to abandon tbo attempt to live on
the wagon pild is certain. The French
Canadians in the manufacturing states of
Now England at the tlmo the last CODSDB
was taken were , In round numbers , about
Massachusetts . 11,000
New Hampshire . 24,000
Khodo Inland . 14.0CO
Connesticut . 12,000
Although moat of thcso people are good
citizens , tholr preeonco In such hrgo
numbers in New Ecgland is significant of
the ono great fact that the protooted
manufacturers of tlut ecction boy tholr
labor where they can got it cheapest.
Why should not the worklngman bo per
mitted to buy hia clothing ana tools , fur !
niture and carpets whore they are to bo
had cheapest ? The Massachusetts mill-
owner in Bcnrch of cheap labor mny im
port it from Canada at will. The Massa
chusetts or Illinois mechanic in search of
cheap overcoat or cook stove could buy
them much cheaper In Canada than ho
can hero , bnt ho must pay a tariff on
them which would destroy bis advantage ,
n the face of such transactions it li an
'nsnlt to the commonest intelligence to
ipoak of the protective tariff robbery as
icslgned to dignify , enrich and ennoble
ho American laborer. Un the contrary , 0
t is crushing him out with taxation on a
ho ono hand nnd a murderous compott-
ion by cheap imported workers on the
tther.

FREIGHT IN "DIURIjEIB , "
President Adnmg on tlio lx > ng And
Short Until.
To tha Editor of the BIK.
"When comparing through rates from
points east to the Missouri river with
rates to points in Nebraska , 60010 gentle
men stated to Senator Callom'a commit *
too that n culo.ul was shipped from
Chicago to Onuha , COO miles , nt a charge
of $ r > 6.3r > ; and that the charge of iho U ,
1 * . for hauling the s\me carload , without
breaking bulk , to Grand Ithml , distance
152 miles , waa § 10440. Chnrloa
Francis Adams , though not pres
ent when this statement was made , soon
took the stand. The nbova statement
waa repeated to him , and ho waa asked
as to Its accuracy. Ho replied thai it
wss probably correct Ho said that
freight was moved from the east to the
river "iu great volumo"and was received
by hla road "in driblet ! , " and that the
additional charge was necessary In order
that his road could make n living rate.
It will bo seen that the charge from
Omaha to Grand Island , distance consid
ered , is abont six times that Irom Chicago
cage to Omaha. In this Inatanco there
was no breaking bnlk at Omaha , though
It is fair to add that this was not ex
plained to Mr. Adama. The amusing and
interesting point to observe is found
In the ( statement of the president of the
Union Pacific railroad an to frolght com
ing to the liver "In great volume , " and
being received by his road "In driblets. "
It comes to the river concentrated "in
volume , " over live Iowa linesand Is then
dissipated "iu driblets" Into the hands
of the two Nebraska systems , the U. P.
and B. & M. , thus making a six-fold
charge neceesaty.
Will Charloa Francis toll us how to
equaro the circle , or will ho tackle the
problem as to whether Hamlet Tras a
woman ? D.
A AVcBt Virginia Snake Btory ,
Wheeling ( W. Va. ) Register.
Broxton county can down the state on
snake wonders. A gentleman living not
far from the county seat lately succeed In
capturing a snake or pair of nnakoa cor
responding to the Siamese twins , The
reptile has two heada and two tails , and
the balance of the body looks like
that of a slngb onako , with the exception
of a ellght depression both above nnd below -
low , extending the ontlro length. The
bodies join abont six inches from the
bd ; , the tails are almost a foct long
after leaving the body , while the length
of the portion joined Is two foot and nlno
inches. The twins were first scon two
weeks ago by a little son of the gentle
man who potscsios the wonder , who told
hia father wh&t ho bad seen and shorred
him the track crossing the road. Tha
gentleman made a thorough search at the
time , but failed to capture tha prize. He ,
however , ran across It a few days slncn ,
and succeeded In noosing and taking It
captivo. Both the anakoa are jet block ,
with a yellow ring just behind the head.
They both cat , and in traveling seem to
bo wholly of the same opinion as to di
rection , etc , , stopping at precisely the
same tlmo , and appearing to have ono
mind abont everything.
