Ciuc.vrio , Feb. 4. [ Special Telegram to
THE UIK. ] Ono of the historical statements
co in I iij ; from the railroad men was the frank
assertion of Vice President Mc.MulIm of the
Alton nt the time xvhcn Ilia Interstate Com-
nierca Hullway association uu being organ
ized : "The association will bo formed
nltnply to restore ttio confidence of Investors
in railroad securities. " Subsequent develop
incnts have shown that Mr. McMullIn was
oxactlv right. In smtoof the objections of
many western presidents , they were almost
to a man whipped Into line by
the New York and IJoston bauk-
ars. As a rule the railroad president }
nro against the formation ot the association
ns thov nro todny ngalnst Us continuance.
The eastern moneyed mnn simply put on the
Rcrows nnd forced the presidents Into thojor-
Kauizatiou. Thu whole plan was told by a
member of tha llrm ot Kiddcr , Pcabody &
Co. lately to n hi h ouVlulof a western road ,
who In turn told it to your representative.
The railroad ofllclal would not allow the use
of his name , but the facts themselves nttcst
tholr oun truthfulness. Said ho : "Eastern
lluaucial men littcen months ago were
loaded up with nn immense nmount of
railroad securities , for which thcro was no
market , and besides thcio was no immediate
prospect of a return of conlldonco on the
part ot investors. Another railroad smash
would have precipitated n panic in railroad
matters and It was absolutely necessary to
put some of the wcnk roads on n good basis
and to solve other problems , such as the re
organization of the Wabanh nud Atctiison
and the raising ot hirge amounts for loans
to tno Burlington nud St. Paul.
It was cither a trust or nn associa
tion , nnd after Jay OouM prematurely
exnoscd the plan to form the first it was deckled -
cklod to form Iho second , and Iho Interstate
Commerce Hailwav association was tbo re-
unit. The association has served Its main
Iiurposo bv giving the bankers n chnnco to
unload , raise money and make the necessary
reorganization , nnd uo\v many of them nro
apathetic ns to Us continuance. It has de
veloped n surprising power to maintain
rates , however , and it may bo continued for
thaUrcacon. President Adams of the Union
Pacific uud President Hiigbitt of the Northwestern -
western were the leiidurs in forming the as
sociation , but jou can see in whnt estimation
they hold it when tholr alms , or rather thono
of their backers , wcru accomplished. H is u
loss up wnelher the association will bo con
tinued. "

Trndn Mnttcrn DlHonisod ,
It was oxpectcd that nt a Ruoclnl meeting
of the Liulldcr * ' and Traders' cxclmuga held
jostcrdny afternoon a report would bo niado
on the uniform contract question. The re
port was to have boon made by John Harto ,
Itlchard Smith and G. I. LoVcitlo , who com
posed tho.commlttoo that rcpresantod the ox-
cliango at the national convention hold
recently In St. Paul , but thbso gentlemen
were not fully prepared and the hearing was
postponed tea days. The business ot thn ses
sion was principally of a routtno nnturo and
Was private.
Last evening the cxchnugo reconvened for
the purpose of listening to addresses by Ed
ward J. llannan ot Washington , I ) . C. , pres
ident of the National master plumbers' or *
givnlzruloii ; Vlco President Reynolds of the
National master steam fitters' association ,
aud others. Tbo attendance was largo , nnd
Included the state master plumbers , who
came in a body.
Upon bclna introduced to the mooting as
president of the national organization of
master plumbers , Mr. Hanuun said ho
would have preferred to have boon Intro
duced ns the second vice president of the
builders' exchange of Washington , sluco ho
was to address builders. This 'remark
brought forth applause- and had the effect of
placing the speaker and his audlciico on tbo
best of terms with each other , Mr. linn nun
said ho was no , speaker , but would seek
to call the attention of tils hearers to n few
facts realized through the bonotlts of organs
tzation. Ho called attention to tbo advantage -
vantage wnlclinoticeably accrued to mon
ana people everywhere by boing" organized ,
by bolng banded together for the Interest nf
the whole. Tno speaker then wont on to
refer to builders' exchanges'and organiza
tions of plumbers. ' The Idea had gotten
out , Mr. Hann'an said , that the latter
organization was for the purpose of putting
UP prices. Ho know the charge could not bo
proven. The plumbers' organization had
shown the public n bettor class of work ,
tnoro honest work , than waa previously
known. It hud half a dozen trade papers
and thn men and apprentice boys were urged
to contribute any suggestions which they
might huvo. Another'prontublo feature of
thu association was a nitrhlly cxchango of
ideas , facts , ilmircs , etc. They , us mechanics ,
are not banded together to make a price list
or a trust , but to get a fair , square , honest
prlco for their work nt all times. Iho
speaker said ho attended a meeting of plumb
ers In cultured Boston at which'ono delegate
proposed sending a missionary to tno "wild ,
untutored west,1' ' but Mr. Hannan had found
nothing wild or untutored out hero , but oa
the contrary nil that he had seen was
a nnurniliceat credit and honor to the build-
era of of this section.
A notable speaker living In the east bad
said that ono great fact bo hud learned , und
for which ho admired tlio plumbers' ' organl
zatlon. was that It contained moro Ameri
cans than did nny othor.
Trade schools had been started in tno
east , Air. ilauuau said , in which boys were
placed for live months und prepared to take
many steps In advance of tboso boys ordi
narily taken as apprentices.
In closing ho faid that ho bad hoped to
hear a report from the commit too that vis
ited St. Paul , but ho could certify that they
were all sober while there. In coming to
the city of Omaha and meeting with the
courtesies which ho had , Mr < > Hannan said
ho foil that moro t nan .wus due had been , ai-
corded him. Ha desireit all members of the
exchange to understand that they woulu bo
made very , . -.wolcomo at. the rooms
of the Washington organisation' Ke-
forriug further " to his homo or
ganization the speaker said that
the arrangement of its quarters was perhaps
unequaloa in the line ot comfort aud adapta
bility to their purpose. Ho urged that iho
Omaha cxchango exert itself and secure the
best organization In the country , as it would
certainly prove increasingly profitable..Mr. .
Hannan was heartily applauded as ho took
his scat.
Vice President Reynolds of the natlono
organization of master steam litter * 'was
next introduced , and came forward
with considerable reluctance. Ho was a
largo , very good natured gentleman. Ho
said that ti might bo lucky for many In the
audience that ttiuy didn't know that ho fell
into bis present ofllco bv mere chance , or
because bo hated to see his firm lined a dollar
lar because his partner forgot to-attend many
mcatliigs. After this starter , Mr. Reynolds
said ho hoped to see the day when the steam-
heating pitrt'of n building was let as a separ
ata thing. The dav bus gone by , said he ,
when you buy calico and groceries at the
sumo store , and or has iho day when a man
can contract with ono man for everything
ncodnd in the house ho Is golnc to build.
Anothorthlng the man who takes a contract
without having figured In n'gooJ , fair profit ,
robs his own fatnilv. The man who will un
derbid a fair profit will rob bis customer.

is absolutely necessary to their success.A

zens and moans bankruptcy for the con

tbo speaker , tlio great necessity for

third mutter : I consider that the mnn who
takes a contract for a big building without
having a contingency fund included is no
nusinesB man. [ Applause. ] A contingency
fund is necessary to success taking a life
time through.
Tlio speaker occasioned considerable mir-
palso by urging very emphatically that when
a contractor completes his work and finds ha
has received more than a fair profit for his
work he should return the difference.Tula
should not bo done to attract attention , said
ho , for on advertisement or Anything ot that
sort , butsltuply as u business principle , and
the man who inaues a practice of so doing
will find himself a moro successful and a
richer man as tbo years uo bv.
Mr. Reynolds closed with a tow very
earnest words , ureing honest , upright action
upon all occasion * . Common decency , Bald
he , too olten becomes an orptmit in tbo pres
ence of a dollar. See that you don't get too
much of an v man's money BOO that vou don't

convinced , " says the mayor , "that the
expense of conducting the municipal
government will bo greater than last year ,
though thn condition of some of the funds
will permit Iho making of n lower levy than
thatoflSbfl. 1 believe that at the very ut
most the total levy for 1890 should not ex
ceed 42 } mills apportioned to Iho respective
funds as follows :

tion of Moore's confirmation by moving tba
