Onoof thoquestioiisvvhlchwill be discussed
ut tlio meeting of the Live Stock Shippers' as-
sociatiou on Wednesday next will bo the ad
visability of requiring all commission men to
give a bond. Thlsstatement has brought out
the following fiom u number of commission
men doing business at the exchange building :
"Tins ac tlon may bo well enough. If in
i etui n , they , the shipper's association , w ill
only give the commission men bonds in like
amount to piotect them , the commission
men , against any loss siiffeie'd b ) them on
nccouut of shippeis belonging to suld ship
per's association , for we think wo can safely
nsseit light hcio , that the commission men's
losses have amounted to doll'irsvheietho
shippers losses hade not amounted to cents ,
They seem to oveilook this mater of inteicst
and also seem to forget that as soon as their
stock is sold they can , an do , nine times out
of ten , get their money for their net pro
ceeds deposited in bank befoio the commis
sion man lias made Ins collection ; and also
that in a gieat many instances stock is paid
for by ill aft n day or so bofoio it is iu licicou
the market. In the histoiy of these jnids
thoio has been only one falluie , and ih that
failuie , wo undei stand , ono of the Him is
able and willing to inaUo good all losses to
shippers Wo think that the shipper's asso
ciation will put their foot into whatever they
undertake to comi > cl commission men to give
bonds in any amount. All commission firms
doing business heio arc , we piesuino , re
ported by our commercial agencies thiough
vv hich the shipper can examine into their
standing , linancially and morally , which is
theii privilege and duty to do , and it is solely
their own fault if they don't ship to responsi
ble pit ties Wo say us a word of vvai ning to
the slnppoi's association , the ) don't want to
act too hastily in this matter We claim the
Intel ests of the shipper and the commission
men aio almost identic il.

After T only-four 1'cnrs ns Union
Puulllo Attorney
[ From 5ili ( ltiKvtnlno Itce , January U. ]
Hearing a rumor that Hon. A. J. Poppletou
had tendered his leslgnatlou n-s the general
attorney of the Union Pucltlc , n Hun repte-
Rcntiitlvo called upon that gentleman In his
oftlco In the he.idquuttcis building , and asked
If the report wete tine. Mr. Poppletou re
plied that It was
"When Is jour resignation to tuko ctfcctl"
ho was asked.
"At once , If possible ; and not later than
April 1 , " Mr Popple-ton icplied ! "I wioto
out * my formal icslgnation n few weeks ago ,
and scut It to Judge Dillon , the companj's
geneial attorney In New Yoik , ut the sumo
tlmo nccompanjiiig it with a letter giving my
reasons for icslgnlng "
Mr. Popiiluton then stated th it the punrl-
pal reason for 1m icslgiilug was that his
health would not nny longer penult him to
continue the laboiious duties .of his oflleo.
The close confinement to business , ho said , is
becoming too gieat a tax upon tils energies.
He-sides ho has leached that ago when , If ho
ever Intends to take n test or have any re-
en cation , he must at once cut loose fiom his
pi eseut'cmplo ) mcnt. Ho Is not compelled to
work any longer , and ho cteslies to bo in a
position to do whatever ho feels inclined ,
without any interfcienco by loutine duties ,
It is his intention to devote himself to his
private interests , and to tiavel , not only lu
this countr ) , but in Europe. Ho
will have an ollice in thu now
Fust National bank building , and
make It his headquaiteis , but ho will not
entei into general piactlie If ho takes any
cases the ) will bo only those of the most im-
poitaut character , and involving large intei-
ests Piom now OH Ml Poppletou pi oposcs
to take life much easier than he has for the
past tvv cut ) -tlv o ycai s.
Mr Poppletou has iccclved from Mi. Dil
lon a lettei in ic triad to his icslgnatlon. Mr.
Dillon e\pi esses gieat suipiise and i evict
that Mr. Pcipplcton has dec ided to take this
step , and hopes lie willieconsulertho mattei.
Ho nlso sa.\s that it will he vot.v difficult
to Hud a successoi , but In the ov cut that Mr.
Poppleton's action is final the eompanj will
have to begin nt once to look for a lawor
qualified to fill the important position.
Mi. Poppletori , how over , is detei mined In
his icsignation nnd cannot bo induced to 10-
considoi the matter. Ho had been contem
plating the step for ncaily u j car , and cannot
aftoid to an ) longer saenflce his health
Mr. Popplcton bus made Omaha his homo
forovei thiit-tinec ) ems He is one of the
pionecis who located hcio in Ib54 , when the
place was but a meio hamlet of the fi outlet * .
Mr. Popplcton is a native of Michigan , hav
ing been born in Tioy , Oakland count ) , July
2-1 , isiO cJntit the ago of fourteen no 10
malncd upon his father's fium , nnd attended
the county district schools. lie was then giv eu
his preliminary tunning for college nt Honico ,
Michigan , and was sent to Union college ,
Sehen ec tad v , N. Y. , from which Institution
ho graduated in July , Ibll. Fiom Septombei.
1811 , to May , IbU , ho taught Latin andGieek
in tlio institution at Homco , wheio ho had
been piopared for college. Mr. Poppleton
had lead considcrablo law eluiiug his college
coins , and enteimg the oftlco of Q. I & 12 C.
Walker , of Delioit , ho was admitted to piae-
tico in October , 1S5J , after an examination bv
tlio supreme court of Michigan. Clinton
Hriggs and Jonas Seeloy , who became jiiom-
inciit citizens of Omaha , weio admitted
at the same time. To complete his
pielinilnaiy legal ti.lining Mr. Poppletou
attended a six months'com so nt John W
Fowlci's law school , Pougukeop'iie , N. Y. ,
wheio extciui > ' "ej.crikii.g ; and the tn.il ol
jii""t causes wore specialties He then bejoji
ac tiv c pi ae tic o in Dcti oil. Upon the passage
of tlio Kansas Nebiaskn bill , he made m-
i angemcnts to settle pei mniiontl * , m Omaha ,
lleiuiivect horoOctobei 1. : , Iblt , und iiiiino-
duitelv opened a law oflleo He soon had
plentv of piactie-c m claim units and land lit !
gallon , and has continued in active piactico
eve r since , devoting himself duung all these
) e.ns wholly to his pi ofession. Mr. Popple-
ton hcivcd as a niembei of the Nebiaska tor-
ritoiial legislative assembly during tlio ses
sions of Ibll .11 and lb.1i ! > S and was mavoi of
Omaha dunng the veais IbIS 5'J. ' He icceived
with J. Stcilmg Moiton , Iho vote of the
demoei atic pat t ) foi United States ( lemitoi ,
upon the admission of Nobiaska as a state m
1H07 , and was the nomiiieo of th it jinty for
congiess in IbO but was defeated Mr. Pop
plcton took u promineiit pait m the foi mill
bieukmg of giouud foi the Union Pacific ;
i.iilio.ul at Omaha , December 2 , ISM On
tins occasion ho inado a memoiublo speech ,
which has nlvvajs been icgaided by those who
have known him all these joins as ono of the
best clients of his life. The next day he
was appointed nttoiney of the Union Pacific
by Vico-Piesulent Durant. Fiom that date
ho continued his geneial practice until 1b ( > 't.
In that j ear the load was completed , uml
mueli important litigation ainso fiomcon-
stiuction eontiacts. Theieupon Mr. Popplo-
ton accepted a tegular salaty fiom the com-
) ) , has evei since continued us gen
eral attoincj of the s\stem , except that portion
tion located in Kansas. As goncial iittoinev
lie has had cliiugo und supei vision of all
legal , claim , tux and light of vvii ) business
niising in Iowa , Nebiaska , Colonido , W )
oining , Utah , Idaho , Montana , and Oiegon ,
the local attoinojs in all tlie- jinisdktioiis
icpoitiiig to him , and being subject to his
cliiection and supervision In IbSI he was
inado counsel of the managing and
executive ollices at Omaha , in 10
speet to all mattei-s ausing In Kan
sas , and on October 1 , issii ,
Kansas vv us placed nuclei his supei vision and
control. His last annual icpoit shows 500
cases pending m his Jinisdiction , involving
eveiy vailetv of litigation. To all of tins
) vvoikuro to bo added his labois as counsel ol
tlio geneial oflli eis of the line at Omaha , It
will bo seen that his lifo has been a vety
bun ) one * . It is Mr. Poppleton's proud boast
that ho has never sought advancement except
In liis chosen pi ofession ; that ho bus never
made a dollar JV ) speculation ; that ho has
never owned a sh.ne of i.iilway stock or tail
way propertj of aii\ kind ; and that his prop
city in Omaha is the ic'sult of his profes
