IIo would bo very lllcoly to bo retained al this comfortable income if a trust wore formed , BO that it is not dllllenlt It understand why Mr. Walker would favor the project , It is stated that the plan of roorgan- l/.atlon will bo submitted to a mooting of 11.o presidents , lobe hold next week and this will bo a preliminary to UK submission of the report in April , at the regular mooting of the association , o ! the committee appointed In January tc present a plan of reorganization. As Chairman Walker is a member of that committee doubtless the schema that will bo presented noxl week Is practically what has boon agreed upon by the commlltoo , or by a majority of it. It is understood that It will propose the amalgamation of the ex isting auxiliary bodies with tltoconoral association. This plan is of course vig orously onposod by the gentlemen' | the head of thcso bodied whoso salaries would most likely bo cut oil' , or afc any rate reduced , as a result of the amalga mation , but their opposition is not lllcoly to defeat the project. Per sonal considerations will bo ol very lltllo account if enough presidents can be induced to fall in with the idea to make it carry , and cer tainly they will not if .Tiy : Gould is potential in directing the new arrange ment. ( JircttmstancoH for some time have pointed to a movement ot this kind. It became apparent within a few months after the organization of the inter- Btato commoroo railway association tltat it was destined to prove only a temporary oxpo-Jiont , and for several - oral months it has boon pretty clear that the eastern railroad presidents and the bankers interested with them wcro not satisfied with the association and contemplated an organization of greater scope and power. That this will bo ultimately accomulishod there is very great prob ability , and a long stop in that direction io not unlikely before the summer is passed. The present railroad situation is contributing to such a result , nnd the moa who want it can keep affairs ut h troubled condition as a means of compelling those who are not friendly to it to fall in with the plan as a matter of self- preservation. The probable fact , however - over , is that the number hostile to the scheme is not largo if it can bo shown that ic can bo put into effect without contravening the law. The dovclopmc-nts of next week's meeting of the association will bo iiwaited with n great deal of interest , if it bo possible to obtain any knowl- adgo of it for public information. At liny rate the public may bo prepared to hear al no distant day of a more for midable movement than has over yet been nitido for the purpose of binding Lho eastern and western railroads in ; in agi cement that will bo more Joffcot- ivo in its operation and not so oasilv availed or broken ns the one which has lieon satirically styled the gentlemen's : igroomont. I'HOl'OKKl ) / . The subject of pension legislation is ittrapting unusual attention and dis mission from the fact that the disposi tion in congress appears to bo to add heavily to the now largo demand on Lho treasury from this source. The liabursemcnts for pensions this your will amount to about one hundred mil lion dollars. There nro several bills pending in congress which , if tTtey be come laws , will very materially increase Lite annual payment on pension account. I'lto demand for this legislation is nrong and intluoittial. and congress will undoubtedly respond to it in part , rhoro are very practical considera tions connected with this subject which concern the whole uooplo. The prime liiestion is , how much of an addition jan he imido to tho' expenditure for Donslous without preventing such a ro- luction of the revenue of the govern ment as will afford needed relief to the liooploV There are undoubtedly a great many Inlbo and extravagant Htntonionts made . espooting the subject of pensions. Statements are made on the lloors of ongrcH' ) and bout out through ' .ho press which are not au- : hentic. Careless or reckless estimates ind made regarding the probable re mits of proposed legislation. Con gross ind the public ought to have ollloial ind accurate information on this sub ject. For this purpo-o It Ima boon pro posed in the house to Institute an in- julry in regard to pensions and pon- .loners which will furnish that body Information valuable to It In the con- ildoratlon of pension legislation and at ' .ho same tlmo correct errors in the [ Hibllo mind duo to incorrect utato- monts and unwarranted estimates. It is proposed to a&c'ertaln the number ot original pension claims : lled for disabilities up to the beginning of the present year and the number allowed ; the total niuiibnr ) f claims ( Hod for Increase and how many granted- , the number of claims Hied for roratlng anil allowed ; the Jlalms of widows , minor children and lopondent parents , anil the number ul- owed ; the total number of pensions ot , ho various classes ou the rolls ; the ag gregate of disbursements on pension nc count , nnd estimates of what Mil bo re quired in certain COHCS. The importance of this Information i apparent in view of the statement re conlly made in congress , n the estimates of several demo cratlc members , that the cost of bill pending In congress would foot Up sonn sixteen hundred million dollars , undoubtedly doubtodly n most exaggerated .state mont , hut which cannot bo successful ! , shown to bo such without die ofllcla facts , It Is also important to have thl information in vlow ot the fact that tw hundred general and over two thou Hand special pension bills have bcoi referred to the house committee , thi probable cost of which cannot now b determined with any 'degree of accu racy , though the sum nt the lowcs reasonable estimate would bo vor ; largo. There is , of course , not th < least nrobablllty that the larger mini her of thcdo measures will pass. The republican congress will deal justly am gcnaroiidly with the old noldiortt , but i will also consider what la duo to tin whole people. It will bo the betto enabled to do this if in possession of al the facts now accessible regarding pen sionsund pensioners. OMAHA , Neb , , March 12.

Mr. Kitchen states the situation in i nutshell. The frame shells and bricli tindorboxcs built a generation ag ( have outlived their usefulness , and art not only a detriment to the street but i monacc to merchants and n disgrace tc the city. It is un oiitrago that man pos scssing nmplo moans cling to the dis graceful voohorics which : are to bo soot in the very heart of the business sec' tion. That modern buildings will paj handsomely on the investment , is clearly proven by the number of tenants crowded into the now bank buildings. The patronage secured by offering the best conveniences , coupled with reasonable enable safely against lire , demonstrate ; that similar enterprise and liberality will bo generously rewarded. It is ' 'a condition , not a tlicory , " thai confronts the property owners op Far- nam street. The prestige which the lower end of the Htreet is losing as c retail center can bo regained by uprooting the ramshackle struc tures from Ninth to Fourteenth streets and substituting substantial and attractive buildings. While the owners stick to the doblos and tinddrboxes , they cannot hope to compete with the more enterprising land owners , who offer inducements that merchants can not ignore. Fnrnam street must be radically reconstructed , or else bo con tent with the overflow of trade. Lam- uiitations are- useless while the rook- srlcs exist. AXD ULUFFS. General Attorney Thurston of the Union Pacificin nn interview published Dlsowhoro , reiterates the exploded assertion of the railroad bosses , that market prices arc governed by the cost at transportation. During Iho past two months this theory was dinned into the 3iirs ot the public in opposition to a re- luction of the robbing grain tariff , rho purpose was self-evident. . It was : ho only excuse the corporation could idvanco to support the exorbitant tolls ivhioh deprived the producers of the 'mils of their toil and depressed ; ho vital interests of the west. J'lie picayune reduction of ton per jont on the corn rate effectively lomolishcd the railroad scare-crow , notwithstanding the mercenary efforts ) f Chicago speculators to depress the narket. The bottom was not knocked nitot the market , and if the farmers did lot receive the bonolit of the reduction .n all cases , it was because the olovn- ; or monopoly and the speculators com- jincd to ab'orb the difference , BO as to ; ivo the appearance of truth to the cor- lioration claim. Attorney Thurston sticks to the bluff perpetrated some weoUs ago , that , he Union Pacillois indifferent to the 'ato of the bill extending the time for mymont of the government debt , "t is n significant fuel , novor- .holcss , that the friends of the corpora- , Jon in congress are actively pushing .ho bill to passage. If the company vas not openly anxious to secure the 'avor ' of the government , is it roason- iblo to suppose that its mouthpieces in longross would exert themselves ? The , rutli is the terms proposed tire far more avorablo to the company than could bo iccurod through any private funding loliomc. Thurstou's bluff is intended to nislend the opposition , and obtain the auction of the government to n scheme vhich imposes on the productive in- lustry of the west the debts of the Slobllior robbers and the Gould free- jootors. TIIK proposal of the secretary of the reasury to make an immigration station if Liberty island , the site oj tha.groat itatuo presented to this country by . ' 'ranco , has boon vigorously * protested * igainst by the Now York- press ganor- illy. A few days ago the house p.a sod i resolution relating to immigration , in vhich it was provided Unit nn inquiry > o made as to the proprietyof using this slnud for the purpose proposgd by lie secretary of the treasury ? It a the intention ot the government o assume the inspection ot iin- nlgratiou , and it is necessary to pro- ride some other landing1 place for im- nlgrants than Castle CSardou. Un- * loubtodly the most convenient place or the purpose is Liberty island- , but it ipuours to bo thought that receiving' ' nml inspecting * Immigrants untlor the statue of "Liberty Enlightening thu World" woulu ( bqjaltnost in the nature of n dcsccrntlon , nntl besides the Islam1 has become n > sort of resort nnd il might bo Injuritt for this purpose While the monabiTcct of 4andlng Immi' grants near thq $ rcnt statito might be good , it does so m that if nn easily no- ccssiblo nnd otJ rwiBO desirable place can bo found iclsowhero it would be bettor not to usci'iLlborty island ns nn immigrant stntinh. It would bo are preach to the codlitry to have this spot , dedicated as th'd sto | of n massive worli of art symbolizing at , once the aim nnd the friendship of the two grout roptib' lies of the world , turned InU n dumping ground for people from the four quarters of the earth. Kvidontly the secretary of the treasury is not n man of sentiment ot he would have scon the impropriety ol this. IIo should promptly abandon the idea of making this island an immigra tion station , for It Is reasonably certain that congress will not permit it to hi done. Undoubtedly there are othoi places that will answer the purpose jusl as well. TltK speculative sharks of Ghieagc are Kqucaling. Tito fact that products of the west can reach the seaboard without paying tribute to the gamblers has roused their wrath , and they in dulge in vnguo throats and unfounded assertions. The trouble with the grain sharks ot Chicago is that they have squeezed the productive lemon so prof itably that they want to build a Chi nese wall around the western states and subject the farmers to porpctutrl bond- ago. They imagine that the country is a province subject to the whims of cor ner princes and combination barons. The country- , however , has outgrown the power of Chicago nnd proposes to trade where the best prices can bo ob tained. Tine adroit move of the Uurlington's rivals in the past few months has forced the former to finally admit the pater nity of the lUtrlington & Northern. Dispatches from Chicago call the deal a "sale. " Knowing ones , however , are better informed. It was an open secret that the Burlington owned u largo block , if not n controlling interest , of the Burlington Si Northern and used the road as u convenient cat's unw in inoro than one railroad light. The Bur lington & Northern was the hornet in the railroad nest , and managers will heave a sigh of rujief now that the Bur lington has openly taken this dis turber under its wing. TIIK board of education is again ndvor- tifiiner for now plans for schools , not withstanding tHntJit has dozens of plans in the archives. There is no reason why the board * should not use plans already paid for * The four , eight , nnd sixteon-room buildings already erected cannot bo materially improved upon by now plans and specifications. They are models , of school' ' architecture , and should be adhered to in the erection of new buildings , e.tlo'cting a largo saving in time and moans. i < t r - TIIK sanitary o'ffect of tweaking noses depends largely on locality. The bells of Washington are tolling the requiem of u man who playfully pulled the nose of a Kontuckian. In the temperate zone of the blizzard nn opposite effect is pro duced. A North Dakota legislator got a purchase on the attorney general's noso. The latter suddenly wheeled around and walked rapidly away. TIIK proposed enlargement of the shot tower plant brings out forcibly Omaha's prominence and opportunities ns a lead center. From the smelting' of lead to the conversion of that metal into allot and white load is n long step and suggestive of the possibilities open for the establishment of like manufac turing enterprises which shall make use of the raw product. DKMOCUATIC opposition to the admis sion of Wyoming and Idaho is a waste of energy. It serves to illustrate the fact that the bourbons hoed not the les sons of two years ago , but persistently net as stumbling blocks in the path of progress. Fortunately their ability to delay homo rule is under effective sub jection. A Goort Sliowitti ; Tor n Monlli. St. JVwfj GloTjs-Dimjzrai.

Thursto of Nebraska , president of the national re publican lcngut < , is in Washington from tour south. IIo presided at the meeting c the league nt Atlanta last week , and in tnll < ing about Ins political Impressions galnod I the south said this afternoon1 "I trust thn tbu intimations to the effect that there mil not bo a tariff bill passed at this session o congmss uro without foundation. So far a I am concerned , I believe that wu shouli have a duty which should amount to a prc hlbitlon upon all articles which may bo prc duccd In this country , so ns to force the con sumption of domestic productions. Butthor Is a feeling In favor of cheaper HUgnr clothing nnd other necessary articles Ii daily use , which we cannot afford to ignore especially with the farmers in the west. "There Is n great deal of interest showt south , and In fact throughout the country in the rcsult'of the forthcoming census. : believe in the republican congress showing ns much partisanship in dealing with politi cnl matters ns ttio democrats show In tin stutcs. I think- that we should bond off thi : perpetual gerr.vmandoing ! which the demo crats practice whenever they get control ol a state legislature , The reapportlonmonl will of course control the electoral collogt and have ti very important bearing upon the election of n president in IbOU.Vo should by nil means passu bill such us Mr. McUo- mas baa introdueud , requiring the election of congressmen for the Fifty-second" con gress to be in the districts ns ut present ar ranged , und then wo should pass a reapnor- tlonmcnt bill nt the next session of this con gress. " I naked Mr. Thurston what he thought of the investigation which the interstate com- inorco commission is about to make into the proposition to permit n suspension of the long haul clause. "Whenever there is an overproduction In the fur west1 ho said , "I xvould like to BOO u suspension of the long haul or the re duction of the long haul tariff by a cut of GO per cent for the purpose of detorniiuiuiug the exact effect it would have upon the markets. I believe tbnt it would bring HO benellt to the farmers , for I think thut in stantly the lonir haul rates were reduced thn markets would go down proportionately at tlio seaboard. Supply and demand regulate the market prices und not thcturiffs charucd by transportation companies. " "Uo you expect to see the Pacific railroad refunding bill puba.it this session ; " "So far as tno Union Pacitlc railroad is concerned , " replied Mr. Thurston , "very lil- tlu interest is taken in that subject. I re cently uttendod a mooting of the directors in Boston nnd found n very largo and growing feeling ot raising sufttcicnt money by the execution of a blanket mortgage to pay off the government indebtedness. Wo Imvculso come to the conclusion that it would bo bol ter to do this than to accept un extension in which this debt must bo paid to the govern ment. The government , of course , would have a first lien upon our property , nnd our second mortgages not boinu' ns good security us ulirst mortijauo , would nuvo to pay an in terest so much higher than we would pay upon a lir.st lien mortgage that wo would make nothing in the long run and besides bo under the continual supervision und subject Lo the harrabsmcnt ol the federal govern ment.
