MOM-ANA proposes to take advanta

This is about the only way that Dakot
will be able to get into the union durinj

likely , therefore , that Dakota and Mon

TIM : rumor that the Chicago & North
western proposes to lease the Central Pa-
eilio it * uory plausible Mory. The
Northwestern is ccrtainl , } making rapid
stiides to a junction with the Central Pa-
oilie , and no doubt stands ready lo cap
ture Unit road and virtually shut out the
Union Pacilie and the Hurliiigton , Wo
question , however , whether the Central
1'acilio can bo leased so long as it is in
any way a government toad. If 4ho
Northwestern would pay ( ho debt of the
Central Pacilio it could then get a lease
of that road without much trouble ; but
we hardly think the Not Ihvveslern will
do anything of that kind , as the debt
amount to more than the road is worth.
AHOIT six years ago an enterprising
secretary of the old Omaha board of
trade compiled a batch of commercial
stall-tic * for this city He computed the
wholesale trade of Omaha at ? 10,000,000 ,
and his ngures on other branches wore
equally reliable. During the very same
year the Uii's : ; annual review , compiled
with the utmost care in conjunction with
the eommeicial ageneie.- , showed a total
jobbing busineof loss than eleven mil
lions , Now comes tlio Dos Moiues statis
tical ! , with a ropoit that the wholesale
trade of that city amounted , during the
past year , to $ ; tl,000,000and , its manufac
tured product lo $15fiOO,000 , , Whoever
compiled these iigures musl have been
employed as a Kansas City eunbiis laker ,
prior lo his removal to Dos Monies.
S , 11. (1. ( Dfx & Co. have issued
their review of tlio business of the past
year. The showing is not as favorable as
might be wished , but il holds out strong
liopo for Iho future , The west comes to
tlio front witli the smallest ratio of
failures and lhu lowest average of liabili
ties. During the year tlio number of
failures in the country was almost equal
to the record of 1831 , but the aggregate
of liabilities is little more than half 'as .
large. Judging by the reports of the
various clearing houses and mcrcanlilu
exchanges the volume of business tor tlio
year past was smaller than tlio preceding
year , but Iho production of thu loading
staples show an incrcaso in corn , iron
and coal , with a falling oil'in wheat and
pelt-oleum. 11 is a hopeful sign that tlio
year closed with nn incrcaso in business
and a growing decrease in limmcial

Thecoutiol of the telegraph biisine' '

The lines would no longer be operate
with ( lie design to inllate capital and I
exact high rates for the payment of di\
( lends on fictitious investments. The ro :
ol the lines would be the capital on wide
alone the government would expect ii
leresl reimbursement. The practice <
constructing lines in pretended compel
lion for the sole purpose of Celling ol
the plant to rivals would al-o be don
away with. This has been one of 111
most burdensome features of the teli
graph business. In every instance i
siifli consolidations or sales Ihe pnbli
have been torccd to pay the cost. Wil

crease in population and the coii'iequet
increase in the patronage of the po-t :
telegraph-would come a decrease in th

with tlie mail .service and the postag
rates. Bui Ihe most imnorlanl argumoi
for tlie creation of the postal telegrap
fsVstem is tlio increased facilities tillbrde
lo tlie country and tlie certainty of lowe
rate" , in ease the lines should be ownu
inclusively by the government. All leh
irraph companies orgaui/.ed for eommci
u'ml purposes aim only to connect paj
ing points. They decline to conduct a
ullice where Iho receipts are not greate
than the expenses. As a consequence al
villages and smaller eitie- , are forced t
depend tor telegraphic commnnieatio
upon the railway wires which are alwav
clogged witli railroad business , proven !
ing the expedition of tlio messages o
uutside patrons. The government on th

> f the problem is for tlie government U
ivail itself of the provisions of the act o
800. This act gave the telegraph com
mnies the use of the public highways
md in return made all who availed them
ielves of its provisions subject at an ; )
imo to the appraisement nnd purchase o
heir lines by the government. Undei
his act the control of the telegraph bu-i
icss of tlio country is assured
o llio government at auj
uonient when congress pas.-o :
ho necessary legislation for the purpose ,
t would bo unjust , unreasonable and im-
iracticable for the government to enter
ulo couietition ] ) with private companic'
y building lines of its own. Such a
eheme , if successful , would destroy mil-
ions of dollars of private capital. Under
ny circumstances it would boa premium
0 the competing companies to corrupt
; overnmenl oflicials in charge , lo in-
; oniously toist incompetent telegraph
nperinteiidcnts on Iho system and to let
: fail by reason of mismanagement , or to
lake the exporimenl so cosily by reason
f icoklcs.s extravagance as to secure its
bolition on Iho ground Unit it lias proved
failure. This was Iho vital objection to
enator Kdmundb' ( irst bill , which pro-
osed to connect the principal cities of
10 country by four or five through lines
Derated by the government. Such a pro-
dure would have lorced a life and death
niggle upon the telegraph companies ,
hose income is derived elnelly from tlio
iisine-s in the largo cities. Mr. Ed
muds' now bill is drafted witli enlarged
lows of the situation. Il provides for an
b-olute purchase of existing lines and
icir operations in connection with tlio
os-tal service. It fails in neglecting to
iccify deilnitoly the method ofascer-
lininir the value of Iho plant and fran-
liso of the lines now working under
rivato control which it proposes to turn
rcr lo the postollleo department.
Tlio bill thai Senator Cnllom has inlro-
need is too specilio in this particular ,
iko his railroad commissioner bill
is conceived nnd begotten in
le interest of the corporate
lonopolies. One olanso provides
lat no line shall be purchased until it
is been proved to Ihe satisfaction of
10 government commission "Ihal such
no has earned enough during Iho
volvo mouths prior to Iho passage of
10 act to meet necessary expenses of
.ainlonanco . , reconstruction and opera-
on , " Uy the second the commission is
iieeted before purchasing any line "to
( Certain its actual value , which is to bo
miputed ou tlio basis of one thousand
illars for every lifty dollars of not
irnings , and "no line shall bo purchased
a higher valuation than thai ascertained
1 Ihe basis thus prescribed. " The com-
ission is not prepared lo purchase now
nes that have paid no dividends as yet ,
it it may buy out tlio Western Union
tilegraph company on a basis of 5 per
nt. earnings , The cost of the Western
nion to Iho government on Iho basis of
is scheme would bo somewhere In the
lighborhood of one hundred million
dollars. To pay for this purchase i' '
proposed lo issue thirtj-year 8 per CM
bonds , "which shall not be di po-ed
for les * than par "
The pioper method for seeming t
lines , and a fair one for all paities e <
corned , would bo for the postmaslergi
eral ( o ascertain the lowest price
which a hrst-cliiss set of lines could
erected and equipped in various sectic
of the country. A board of appraisi
should bo appointed to determine I
value of existing lines , and in no ease
such valuation to assess them at me
than twenty per cent above tlie co-t
which they could be duplicated. Tl
would be a very liberal margin for t
value of the franchises. The great bi
of existing lines are cheaply construct
and equipped. Al a forced sale Ihey woi
nol bring fifty per cent of the co-t of (
plleatlng the -lame if the franchises vvi
taken otil of consideration. The value I
cd by the appraisers could not be icga
I'd as a eonllscation , even if it was low
than the cost of building now lin"- win
the old now exist.
Of course , there can arguments be i
vanced nirainst any sjs-tem of postal te
graph , but no aignmcnl which can
advanced in this connection would n
bo cquallj forcible against a goverume
immopoh of Ihe mail service if wo h
no postal sy-tem in existence.
False Sentimentality.
Dispatches from Washington annouu
thai pat lies in the capital and cUevvhe
are circulating a memorial to be signed
Union soldiers only asking for the emu
ment of a law for the establishment ai
snppoit of a liomo for poor and disabl

maot a vicious sentimentality wlii
would wipe out nol only the bitterness
the late civil war , but even tliedislinetu

the e who took up arms to destroy I
union. There is .such a thing as claspii

the feeling that any part of its citix.e

this kind is ill-advised and improper ,
