The Gcncrnl Mutineer's Views.
The contract of building the Klcvent
slrcnt viniluct has been signed t
the Morse llriclgo Co. , by the mayor nn
Gcncrnl MtinngorCallnwny of the Unlo
Pacific.
"Tlio vinduct on Eleventh street is nt
worth thnt to the company , " Mr. Calls
way replied to the reporter's ' qucstio
yesterday , snapping hia lingers. "
signed it because I was sick of tli
quibbling and dallying over tlm iniittoi
What service it will be to the public ,
can neither see. From the viadiu
till travel to the depot rnus
go down a block along the tracks an
Iiirtlu'rinoro the drivers will not use 5
but continue , as they do now , to win
across the Tenth street tracks. I ha
once planned and arranged with th
committee which had the matter in ham'
to build the viaduct down Tout
street , tlm company agreein
to erect a depot immediately at its"soutl
cm terminus. That seemed to bo th
understanding , but the residents of tlm
street raised a tttmnll against it , dii
ing they would go to the supreme conrl
etc. ; that the project was stumped am
latterly when the committee returned t
submit a condition that the compan ,
should pty some thirty odd thousan
dollars damages in advance , I dcclinoi
the whole transaction. The people o
Tenth street have been not only the em
mics of.pnblio convenience in this afl'aii
but have damaged themselves , as tim
will shortly develop. "
"Will the railway company build
new depot convenient to the Sixteontl
street viaduct V" asked the reporter.
"I cannot now tell , as all plans ar
dcmorali/.cd by the departure nllnirs hav
taken. However , 1 believe it will b
done in the course of time , but how Ion ;
hence I cannot say. Beyond the ques
tion of service to the company th
new viaduct as now intended will no
change the conditions against which th
scheme originally provided. It leave
Tenth street open and travel for th
south of town will cross the rails in deli
mice of danger , penalty ami overythinj
else. The Eleventh street viaduct is :
mistake in every liglit thrown upon it. "

THE MKN IN THE SHOPS.
Since the publication in yesterday1
BEE to the client that all reports o
wholesale dismissals in the Union 1'acili
shops were untrue , several men claimiii ;
to bo machinists have called at this oilie
to state that they and largo numbers o
others in the car and tin shops had boci
lot out. Appeals to headquarters and t
Mr. Hackney , as well as to numbers o
the shopmen now working , meet denial
of thesi ! complaints in toto. No sue ]
dismissals have occurred. The shop
nro working under full capacity , and ou
of the 1,600 employes the discharges o
drunkards and incompetents , which 5
ever goin j on in all largo factories , 5
very small , and the loss is usually sup
plied with now hands. The officials o
the company claim that there is toi
much work to bo done to spare any mini
bcr of men.

nished through nipc.i laid in the mibli
streets of the city of Omaha shall be .
supplied and furnished at not cxcccdliij
the following price , to-wit :
For gas equal to sixtccii-candlc powoi
per 1,000 feet. fH.7.1) .
Provided , however , that If such gn
shall not bo equal to Eixtccn-candl
power , the price thereof shall bo corrcs
pondingly reduced , and provided furthc
that upon the failure , refusal or neglcc
of any person , company or corporation l <

passage. WII.UAM F. Br.ciui , ,
President City Council.
J. B. SOUTIIAUU , City Clerk.
The superintendent of the Gas com
pany in conversation with a reporter fo
the BIE : yesterday said that l'io ' compun ;
had not determined as yet what to di
about the gas ordinance. "It may be , '
he said sitrnillcantly , "that we shall no
give in without a light. 1 think wo cor
lainly have grounds to contest the legal
ity of the ordinance , How ? Bccausi
we had a contract to supply gas to tin
city at a certain rate , and tim
term has not expired by tluci
years. Of course , the city claims n rigli
to abrogate the contract on the ground
that the property and contracts of the oh
Omaha Gas company should have beci
turned over to the United Gas Improve
ment company , but that has nqtbnci
done , because the legal nuthori/.atioi
Irom the city was never received. "
Conversation with other gas ofllcial :
disclosed tlio possibility that the company
will in all propability contest the legalit ]
of the new ordinance in tlio courts.
BISMARCK IN COURT.
Licgal Action Against AVIIIIutu Alstndi
Before Judge Hcrkn.
William Alstadt , manager of the Tonj
Faust beer bottling company , was ar
rested yesterday by Matthias New
before Justice Bcrka , charged with tlu
conversion to his o\vn use of $770 he lick
as bailee. Alstadt was arraigned and re
leased on Julius Trcitschke'.i bond ol
$1,000 , to appear for trial this after
noon. New accuses Alstadt o :
spending their mutual funds to the
amount above slated , while the defend
ant pleads that the monies were of
partnership concern and his nso of then
is no crime.
The defendant in this case is'bost knowi
by the niek-namo of "Bismarck" , or ii
other quarters of which ho knows , n !
"Papa. " He has been "Hying high" o :
late , and may have sunk a tew dollar. '
needlessly , but that ho criminally ap
preprinted any funds , no 0110 who know ;
him is prepared to believe. If he get ;
into a. straight over the matter , ho mighl
write to New Orleans , where he has in
vested certain amounts and valuable
articles , and obtain restitution of the
same. For a very littloman , "Bismarck"
has a big reputation. He was once
justice of the peace at NortI
Platte , and there , in the course
of a hearing in which ho was personally
interested , overruled the decision of the
state supreme court on n critical poini
and won the case. This little allair gain
cd him widespread notice in the papers
of the country. The present actior
against him was doubtless brought b * ,
Now in the heat of passion and Alstad
who is sound of cash and principles , will
square matters.

II. J. Wooster , C. II. Ryno , Fran
Wncchtcr and W , J , Dowliug , tlio spe
cial commission appointed by the Unioi
Pacilic to take tlio measures of all train
men , for the new uniforms , hav
returned , after traveling over the Mini ;
line and all of the brandies. They hav
been out since November Cd , and cense
qiicutly were employed in their work ox
tictly thrco months.
During this time they have ? cen cacl
man employed on the trains running 01
the Union Pacilic lines , taken his mcasur
ami forwarded it to headquarters , wher
a requisition for the suit has to bo for
nmlly issued. The uniforms which con
slst of a short bltio sack coat , with th
regulation vest and trousers , are ver ;
neat and will bo appreciated by the trait
men who have hitherto worn nnylhin *
they could get without reference to nn !
formity or style. Most of the uniform :
wll } bo ready for the wearers by carl ;
spring.
The boys tell great stories of thoi :
experiences in the snow storm
on the Kansas Central and Kausa
Pacific roads. On the latter road , thoi
experiences were particularly trying
They were frequently banked in by tin
HIIOW ( the deiptli of which was incasurci
by the top of the cars ) for days unable ti
inovo in either direction , backwards o :
forwards , During one or two of thesi
blockades , their provisions gave out am
they wore often-timcs compelled ti
walk through drifts up to their necks ii
order to get to neighboring houses am
procure something to cat. On qn <
occasion after walking for four or liv <
miles throuch heavy drifts they panic
across n small slinnir Their expectation !
of bcintr able to buj vour square meali
were sadly disappointed , for tlicro was
only one biscuit in the house. Thoj
sorrowfully lilcd out and went on to the
next house where their hunger was ap
pcascd. To add to their trials , on twe
occasions the train was wrecked , thougl
neither time with serious results.
"The siifjw storm in Kansas has beer
far more violent than in Nebraska , " sail
Mr. Wapohter to a reporter for tin
UKE. "The loss of human life will be
considerable , ] think , especially in north'
urn and western Kansas , while the num
bcr of oattle killed by the blizzards wil
never be known. Thousands and thou
sands have already perished. You see
the railroads have stretched wires on cacl
side of their track to keep off the slock
The cattle drift with the storm until thcj
como to these wire fences , when they car
go no further. Hero they bunch up am :
remain huddled together until they per
ish from the extreme cold and fron
starvation. So that I have no doubt thai
when the thaw eomos , thousands of cat
tic will be found to have perished , along
the lines of tlio railways. Old stockinet
say that the winter of 1883-0 will be r
memorable one , on account of the bard
ships it has brought to them.
"Yes , the Kansas Pacilic line fron
Denver to Wallace , Kansas , has beoi
very badly blockaded though the traini
arc slowly getting back to schedule time
again. On tlio Kansas Central , runninf
from Lcavcnworth , to Miltonvale , bu
two trains were sent out in January , am
the line is not clear yet. "
TMK COATj QUESTION.
Commissioner Tiimne Replies t <
Ilutjui Benson's Charges.
Since the coal question is again brough
before the public , it will probably be bes
to ventilate the same a little more. Bid :
to furnish a good grade of coal to tin
county were advertised , and the Onialn
Coal , Coke and Lime company being tlu
lowest bidders , wore awarded the con
tract. This same grade of coal which i :
furnished to the poor is also used at the
county poor farm , and the quality of coa
which answers there anil which othei
people buy for their own use at § 1.50 pei
ton for their cash should certainly bo gooe
enough to bo given away. And so mucl
as thirty and thirty-live tons have beei
given away in a single day. The couut.i
can hardly adora to furnish llocl
Springs.
In regard to complaints about the coa
every word Commissioner O'Kecllb sale
to the reporter of the BEK is true.
llov Dr. Benson was at the counh
commissioners' oflicosotno time ago , anil
among other questions , that about coa !
was also considered , and lie promised tc
notify the commissioners when a case
should como to his notice whore a pool
quality of coal was delivered , to enable
tlio commissioners to compel tlio ccial
company to furnish the stipulated quality
or cancel contract. Now instead of
giving tlio commissioners such notice
no advertises his grievances in a news
paper , charging thorn by implication
if of nothing worse , at least with negleel
of duty , Rov. Benson requested the coni' '
missioncrs to attend to his personal order :
for coal for bis people forthwith. This
was probably not dona as quickly as hi
wished , and bo therefore lelt r
little nettled , but his order/
were attended to as promptly
as possible , and in the Pamo way as thosi
from other-gentleman and ladies or societies
cietios that are known to the public as
benevolent , mid who uro rather too frequently
quontly taken in by deadheads. Per
sonal attention of commissioner O'Kecfl'e '
and the sunorinttidentof the poor farmte
the poor of the city , have secured to the
really needy ones help , and kept off the
the dcadbeats from tlio purse of the
Douglas county tax-payers through this
system , Wo have now over fifty fami
lies less to support than lust year.

A Lincoln Imwyor Who Wanted to 11
It was in the police court room yesto
day afternoon. The lawyers wore tryin
a cases before Judge Stonberg W. 1
McClure of this city had been arrcstc
on a complaint tiled by Jack Morrisoi
charging , him with obtaining money in
dor false pretenses. It appears that M <
Clure had borrowed $ ; ! 1)5 ) from Morrisc
and had given him a bill of sale on
house in Lincoln. It was developed tin
the lots on which the house was locate
had been sold by Mrs. McCIure , togetlu
with the house , unbeknownst to Mr. Mi
Cluro. Consequently the bill of sal
in Morrison's hands had not bee
given by McClure with criminal it
tent. When the evidence was a
al ) in , Lawyer Courtney , of Lincoln , wli
appeared for the prosecution , re > se. ' to h
feet and announced that he wanted to il
exactly right in the matter , and as Ii
was convinced that there was no ov
dcnco against McClure he should dro
the prosecution.
"What ! " gasped. Judge Stetiberg.
"Yes , " continued the lawyer butlonin
up his coat and preparing to leave. "
request that he bo discharged. "
"That may be the way you Lincol
lawyers do , " remarked Judge Stonbcr ;
as ho ordered McClure's release , "but it
very different hero. An Omaha lawyc
novcr admits that ho is beaten. "
AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
The legality of a City Ordinnnc
Culled in Question.
The question as to the legality of th
city ordinance making paving district
extend 133 feet each side of the street t
be paved , is again ca'llcd in question i
the county court by the suit of Joscp
Lois against tlio city and the county troas
urer. Lois owns a lot facing on Jackso :
street between Seventeenth and Eigtl
tcenth , and on account ofthe diagomi
direction taken by St. Mary's ' , , avenue , h
was compelled to pay his share of th
taxes for paving that thoroughfare. Tin
he di'l ' under protest ancl'is now suing t
recover. His attorney , Judge Lake , hold
that the paving district cannot legally o >
tend beyond the alley lying between th
two streets , ami that thu property owner
on Jackson street cannot be taxed to pav
St. Mary's"avenue. . All property owner
on Jackson street between Sovenlcont
and Eighteenth arc interested in the de
cision , as on account of tlio triaugl
formed by the alloy and avenue the
'
have all been taxed for thp paving. Th'
same question has arisen' ' before on th
payment of the sewer lax.

He Had Paid the Note.
Decision was rendered in the countj
court yesterday in the case of Mary Dunk
administratrix , against B. Christian , ii
favor of the defendant. Both parties te
the suit are residents of Florence , and the
causes which led to the legal ilillicult * ,
are peculiar. The plaintiff's husband dice
about a year ago , leaving bis property ir
the hands of his wife as administratrix
At the time of his death ho held a note
against Christian , the defendant tin the
ease , for $102 , This note Mrs. Dunk failed
to find , and on inquiry learned that f
daughter of Mr. Dunk's had it in her pos
session. The daughter , however , refused
to give it up , claiming that her father had
given it to nor , and that it was endorsed
by him. Suit was commenced against
Christian to compel him to pay the inonoy
to the daughter , which he did rather than
stand trial. Mrs. Dunk thereupon en
tered suit against him as administratrix ,
and llio case was decided yesterday as
stated , the plaintiff failing to prove that
the note had been unlawfully taken from
her since tlio death of her husband.

Alliance Action.
EDITORS WESTKUN RUIIAI , : The fol
lowing arc extracts from proceeding * ) of
Now Departure Alliance , Oak Precinct ,
Neb , : Railroad corporations are over
grown state institutions ; they exist by
imtliority of public law ; they exercise
through the several status the sovereign
power of eminent domain , that is , the
power to dig up the graves of our chil-
ilren and tear down the tombs of
our fathers , to pull down our houses , to
appropriate our estates to run their lines
whorovorit suits their swccst pleasure ,
: md the people are powerless to restrain
them. In addition to this great power
the government has given them one-half
of our .public domain , the value of which
is beyond the comprehension of the
human mind. It has poured out of its
treasury and given to these coiporations
millions of the people's money. They
Invo not received this great gift of power
iind money in the spirit in which it was
made , but have entered our politics not
us citizens of a common country but as
c-iant corporations with all the corrupt
ing influence that surrounds great cap
ital concentrated in the hands of the few ,
; inil are controlling our state legislatures.
The trovernmcnf in marching armies , in
waging war , in suppressing invasions ,
cannot exercise moro powur , and the
states are powerless to restrain them.
Lot a citizen take them into our courts
mil their first plea which they enter is ,
tvo are a corporation it is true , but wo
leslro to liu treated us any other citizen.
They are filling our state legislatures and
congress with their tools. Our executives
: ire but mcro pigmies in their hands ,
They tire swaying our courts by paying
[ heir hired attorneys greater salaries
than the government is able to pay its
judges. Toward Ilia producer of the
TOiintry'a wealth they IIHVH .adopted the
policy .of .the improvident s\yigo ; ; who
kill the go-'su that lays tlic'go-Mch
Jgj , ' , or that would cut down the tvcu In
jrdcr to yet a1. thMriuty by basing .tlu'ir '
charges not upon a fair valuation for
service , but take all the traffic will boar ,
It is believed that the railroad corpora
tions in this state have a net proht on
their year's business of more than $35-
000,000 , while the farmers have not
a penny to keep their heads above
the extortionate wave that is
bearing them under. They are working
harder than any people ou this globe.
The average day's work' of the Nebraska
farmer is not loss than Mxtcen hours per
pay. This is committing rapid solf-mur-
dor. To admit that state legislatures
have power to regulate freight rates ,
argues nothing because tlio eastern sea
board is our natural market and hero wo
are mot by the uncertain legislation of
sovi'ti dlfiorcnt states. A condition of
public law that will enable a citizen who
Martedout in life as the peddler of amount
trap to amass in less than twenty-seven
years a fortune of moro than $70 ,
000,000 , will not long bo endured byn frco
people. This great fortune has never
bci'ti earned. It has bct-n stolen from
the people by atilhority of public law ,
for tlicro are but thrco ways of making
money : by industry , by gift and by steal
ing. Phis individual case serves to illus
trate many thousands moro of a similar
nature. This should indicate to every
thoughtful mind that the tendency of the
present time is to make millionaires of
tlio few and paupers of the many.
If the strong and restraining band of
government is not brought to bear upon
our monopolies our country will bo re
duced to a condition worse and moro
galling than that winch curses Ireland
to-day. As producers of tlio country's
wealth wo ask no protection from tlm
government , but wo demand that other
classes shall not bo fostered , protected
and made millionaires tit our expense ,
while we are being pauperized.
Wo have the power to enforce this
demand which as a last resort will
bo done under the flag of our com
mon country. Wo believe the whole
railroad system is radically wrong. It
was conceived in sin and is being brought
forth in iniquity , ami is at this time a ,
menace to civil liberty. The low growl
of thunder is nlready'to bo heard in our
great cities and all over our broad do
main the flame already runs along the
clouds. Wo believe the great mission of
our government is to see that all clnssc.s
have an equal chance in the great race of
human life and not place governmental
power in the hands of the few to crush
out and ruin the many. Wo believe the
whole railroad system of the country is
honeycombed with fraud and deception
and has wholly failed to afl'ovd the nation
with cheap and reasonable facilities for
carrying on tlio internal commerce of tlio
country. We believe it is lite duty of the
government to bond the nation to an
amount suflicicnt to buy the roads and
then operate them. This would be in
dustrial co-operation. This would be anew
now birth. Railroads would become the
pride of the nation. Our whole people
would enter upon a career of prosperity
that would bring peace , joy and all the
blessings of a great free government that
lives in"the hearts of its people ; to this
declaration we stand forever pledged.
