According to the ivjiort ol Henry C.
Adams , statistician of tlio Interstate
commerce commission , there are In
round numbers ono hutidrad and sixty-
one thousand iiillon of railroads in the
United States. This property is slocked
for four and a quarter billion dollars ,
and outstanding bonds represent a like
HUIII , making a total of eight and a half
billion dollars , or a fraction over ilfty-
two thousand dollars for every mile of
road in the country. J'oor'x Mnnii'd
places tlio total stock and bonded debt at
nine and a quarter billions , but a dis
crepancy of "seven hundred and fifty
millions in fictitious capital Is com
paratively trilling to railroad cor
porations. Taking Mr. Adams' figures
as a bu < ls , It doss not require an export
to ihow } why vast fortunes have been
acquired in railroad building. General
Manager Hohlrogu of the Burlington ad
mits that twonty-llvo thousand dollars
per mile is an outside figure. It is safe
to any that , taking the whole country
through , the actual cost per mile of road
did not exceed the latter sum.
Tlio difference between the actual
and fictitious cost , nearly four and a half
billion dollars , represents the profits of
construction rings and the wntor injected
by the VamlorbllU and Goulds. Yet on
this vast lliilltloua capital the iMilmids
last year earned , not , three hundred
and twenty million dollars , or twelve
and one-half ] r cunt hiluroit ontwonty-
llvo thousand dollars per milo. After
deducting various fixed ch.irgos and
Incidentals , dividends to the amount of
cMghty-threo millions wore paid and
nineteen and u quarter millions laid
away for the rainy day. Those figures
show what enormous tribute the pro
ductive industry of the country is com
pelled to pay to sustain the inflated val
ues of American railways. ,

Our very enterprising contemporary ,
the World'Jfnrulil , is welcome to all the
capital it can niako for itself among
vorkinginen by Its loud professions of
sympathy for the Now York Central
strikers , and its slobbering culog-ies of
1'owderly. The average worklugman
of Omaha is intelligent enough to know
a hawk from a hand-saw. Ho knows the
difference between a sincere champion of
labor and a galvanized aristocrat whoso
sympathies do not extend beneath the
skin.
"Wo have a right , however , to resent
as an outrage the publication
by the } } 'orlil-Jlcruld of slanderous
charges against the editor of THIS IS KB
by irresponsible nondescripts with the
manifest purpose of creating prejudice
and ill-feeling among workingmen
against this paper. Such journalism is
beneath contempt. The charge is made
by this bushwhacker that Edward Rosewater -
water worked as an operator for Jay
Gould's "Western Union telegraph com
pany during the telegraphers' strike of
188. ' ! .
A more impudent falsehood has never
boon fabricated. The knave who makes
the charge very ingeniously says that
Rosowalor will deny it , but that ho
could produce the proof. AVhoro
is the proof ? Lot him name any man
from Superintendent Dickey down to the
messenger boy who will testify that
Kosowatcr sot foot in any Western Union
olllco or worked any wire outside of It
during that strike. The story originated
years ago in a boycotting shoot , and
L < Ycd Nye was also maliciously repre
sented as taking the place of a [ striking
operator in the Western Union offico.
As a matter of fact , Frocl Nye never was
a telegraph operator and could not receive -
coivo a telegraphic message by sound to
save his life.

It is expected that the dl ( Terences be
tween the two houses of congress ever
the arid lands and the irrigation amend
ment of the senate to the sundry civil
bill , will bo settled some time- this week.
The conference hold meetings almost
every day last week and called into con
sultation senators and representatives
from the regions alTcctcd , and the re
ported result lias boon to bring both
sides almost together on ti com
promise arrangement. This was
thought to iuivo been pvacti-
cally ulTectcil at ono time , but the
semite conferees having made a frojh
demand the two sides wore again thrown
apart , the house refusing to make any
fmiher concession. According to latest
advices tlio representatives were await
ing the pleasure of the senators with regard -
gard to whether they would insist upon
orreoodo from their latest demand.
The best opinion is that the' basis of
arrangement will be the repeal of the
law of 1SSS reserving the arid lands
from settlement and entry , anil
in Its place congress will provide
that only reservoir sites or rlghts-of-way
for canals or ditches , already located or
pro-oniptod to bo located , slnll 1)3 re
served from settlement or entry. The
intention is that all bona fide settlers , at
present unable to obtain patents , and
there are many thousand such , shall bo
protected and confirmed in their rights.
It will bo provided that no person or
corporation shall ba porinittod to ac
quire more than throe hundred
and twenty acres of land , but there will
otherwise be no change made in the
existing law , It having been do
elded , it is understood , not to press the
bill repealing the desert 1'ind ' and othoi
laws. The reduction of the aggrognti
amount of land which any one porsoi
may enter is said to bo tno only point
giilnod by the house In the conference ,
Thousands of settlers la the vast ro
glen from western Kansas to Calif omit
are most deeply concerned in the settle
ment of this matter , which will dolor
inlno on just what footing they hole
their lands. Under the not o
1SS3 , rosorvlnsr the mid Innd
from settlement and entry , th
Interior department has recognlzoi
none of the thousands of settlors' claims
to the lands covered by the net , and as
the matter now stands these paoplo have
no assurance that they would ever cumo
Into possession of their lands. The re
poil : of the act oj 183S would , however
enable them to properly secure the
lands they have taken up and occupy
thorn without danger of Intorforeneo
The repeal of this law would open the
wholu region which it covers ,
oi'ht hundroil luiJ flfty-tliroo
million ncres , to settlement , segregating
only such portions as are required for
reservoir sites or rights of way for canals
or dltehc. * . With the provision that no
person or corporation shall bo permitted
to acquire more than three hundred and
twenty acres of land there would ap
pear to bo no sound objection to repeal
ing the law of 18S3 , which it seems was
adopted without duo consideration of its

The latest bulletin of the census office
elates to the production of iron , nml

lie last ton yours inn department of In-
u > try which plays a very largo and im-
jortunt part In the mtlomil prosperity ,
t is shown that for tlio year ended
uno oO , 1SUO , the production of pig iron
vas the largest in the history of the
ountry , amounting to ever nine and
ne-half million tons. This vas
early six million tons more
.ban was produced during
, ho census year 1830 , or an Increase of
vcr ono hundred and lifty-throo pot
ent during the decade. Twenty-four
tales produced pig Iron during tlio past
ear against twenty-two in 1SSO , and
Inco tlio previous census Colorado and
Viishinjjton have engaged in this Indus-
.ry . , the former ranking seventeenth
inmng the producing states ,
Tlie relative rank of tlio various states
las undergone many changes since
SSO. Pennsylvania retains Hs pmoo at
ho head , with Ohio second , while
Alabama , which was in the tpnth place
,011 years ago , now occupies the third ,
vith a production last year equal to
two-thirds of that of Ohio. Illinois ,
vhloh occupied the seventh place in
1SSO , is now fourth in rank , while Vlr-
inia has advanced from the sovcntoonth
n rank ton years ago to the sixth , and
rennobsoe has gone from thirteenth to
seventh place. The development of
tills industry in the southern states iss
especially noteworthy. Although the
south had bojjun ten years ago to ap
preciate the value , of the extensive do-
loslts of iron ore smd coal within her
jordors , and it was not until 1SS7 that
great activity was shown in developing-
-hese. Since then progress has boon
rapid , the production of nine stales dur-
Jig the pa t year bring over seventeen
liundi'cd thousand tons , an increase as
compared with 1SSO of four hundred and
eight per cent. And the activity in this
department of Industry in the south con
tinues without abatement in most of the
iron-producing states.
It was only ten years ago that there
appeared the most surprising Increase
in the demand for Iron that has over oc
curred , and over since tlio consumption
of the country his : been enormous. Our
output of pig iron during tlio past year
was a quarter of a million tons in excess
of that of Great Britain for 1889 , the
latest statistics of that country available ,
while the actual consumption of iron in
this country , outside of railroad uses and
tin plates , luis become larger than in
any other country in the world.

Representative Quinn of Now York
has offered a resolution in the house in
Btructing the judiciary committee to in
quire , and report by bill or otherwise ,
what legislation within the province of
the federal government may bo proper
and necessary to prevent corporations
engaged in Interstate commerce from
employing unjustifiably largo bodies
of armed men denominated "do
tectivcs , " but clothed with no
legal functions. The notice thus taken
of the employment of the Pinkerton -
orton forces by the Now York Central
corporation is timely , and it is to bo
hoped the judiciary committee of the
house will give tho/subject / submitted to
It in the resolution the prompt consider
ation which its importance merits.
"We will not undertake to predict what
conclusion the committee may roach ,
but there would Hcom to bo no reason
able doubt that this is a matter within
the province of congress to regulate ,
and If so the duty of providing such
regulation is plain and imperative.
Dut if there bo any dif
ficulty in the way of congress
dealing with it there is certainly none
to prevent the states from doing so. It
is clearly and unquestionably within the
power of a state to prohibit those armed
mercenaries from coming within its bor
ders to perform the service for which
they are usually employed , and probably
thomost'olVcctivo way of dealing with
thorn would bo by state laws. The
people of tlio states are entirely compe
tent to deal with this evil If they are dis
posed to do so and they will deal with it
if they are made to understand
the very serious dangers which are in
volved in tolerating the evil and permit
ting It to assume larger proportions. If
the system of furnishing private troops
to corporations is allowed to continue ,
thoPinkortons will not long occupy the
profitable Held nlonc. Rival chiefs will
spring ip , and as was observed by the
Philadelphia Jtcconl , it would go hard if
abundant occasion should not bo found
for their employment. Tlio system Is
wholly repugnant to our Institutions and
utterly Indefensible , and It must bo sup
pressed either by national or state laws ,
and If necessary by both. The attention
that has been called to the subject in
congress will probably attract to it such
public consideration as will bo pro
ductive of the desired result.

Kow that the council has had time to

It is needless to enlarge on the neces
sity of Increased polling pla cos for the
coming election. It issufllclont to know
that under tlio existing election laws it
is practically Impossible to poll the full
vote of the city. Measures should bo
promptly taken to inoro than double the
number of polls. For this work the co
operation of the voters of tlio several
wauls is necessary. The council
cannot act without a peti
tion signed by fifty qualified voters
of each ward , Councllmcn should
therefore sco to it that the necessary
petition is prepared. Karly action Is
important so as to allow voters ample
time tofamlliuri/.o themselves with the
now boundaries of the polling districts.

But you don't know what the Americanized
Uncydopiciiiu Hritatmira is yet. That's
what wo uro going to explain to you.
The original Kneyclon.vvlia Hritannlcn is
the standard work of roferenceof the English
speaking world. Its articles In every depait-
mon t of science , history and literature repre
sent the thoughts ami discoveries ot tlio most
famous men oCall nations , Tlio cost of its
pivpurntion was considerably ever n million
ilolliira. It Is a monumental work , aicetod ;
ns the authority by all students imd literary
mon. It is on the shelves ot every public )
library , und in hundred * ol thousands of
homes ; and for every person who owns It
thcronre probably Jlvo others who don't own
It , only boi'iuiso It costs so much that tlicy
can' I afford to buy it.
But tbo Knryrlopii'dla Biitnnnlca has de
fects. It was compiled hi England , for the
special useof Knglishinoi nmliiuito naturally
therefore It devotes a KWit 'leal ' of spice to
subjects of interest to Englishmen exclu
sively , and comparatively little space to
many matters about which Americans care a
good deal. An English county bin
moro said about it than * : m Ameri
can fatuto. An English king gets
columns of biography , while an American
president has only u few lines of ini'iition. '
Plymouth , Colrhch'ter nnd Tolgmnoutli are
told about exhaustively , while Oslikosli , ICiil-
amiuoo anJ Tiicoma are dlsmUsed witlui few
particular ! of location and population. Tins
Is all very well for Hugllshinen , 1m t it some
times tnuites an American swear or ftel like
swc-aring , anyhow.
Another trouble Is Hint the plan of the
Kncyclop.rdiii Britaunlca excludes biogra
phies of living people. A man ha ? got to die
before the ISiuyclopicdiaBriUimica will tuko
any notice of him. And quito n number of
persons about whoso lives Americans would
like to know something huvo decided not to
die yet awhile , not even for the sake of being
montioncd in an English Encyclopedia. This
also provokes outbreaks of profunlty.
The publlsbei-s of thu AnicriciuiUod Encyc-
lopn.'iliu Hritannlca have remedied nil this.
Talcing the Encyclop.eilla Britaimicu ns
n basis nnd preserving intact nil
the scleutiUc , historical , biographical
nnd other articles cQcquaUy interest
ing to both Englishmen and Americans ,
they linvo had re-written W' a competent
stall of qualilled writci-s all the articles
of special interest to Englishmen , as well
as those of special interest to Americans ;
reducing first within reasonable limits und
expanding the second to embrace the fullest
details. They have also added a complete series
of biographies of prominent living men nnd
women and ninety-six finely executed maps ,
including n new map of every state of the
union. Aud they have brought every article
In the entire work down to the present year.
1SOO , The result is tlio Americanized Encyo-

all of tbo advantages of tbo latest English
edition , with these of a distinctively Ameri

of enterprise , Ingenuity , learning uud re
search.
