Secretary W. N. Nason of the Board of
Trade , in n talk regarding the agitation of
the question of the reorganization of the
board , gave a brief history of what has been
accomplished in the past and of the plans
laid for the future.
"Tho kicking at the Board of Trade , " said
Mr. Nason , "is not calculated to accomplish
any good , and has more of a tendency to tear
down that which an earnest effort should bo
made to build up. The Board of Trade has
accomplished many thlmis for the city and
there lias been no blare of trumpets. It re
quires time to build up an organization of
tills kind , and I believe the plans laid will
find n grand consummation in the end.
"It is true that the grain men have frco
use of the board's room. I do not think they
have ever undertaken to selfishly control the
board. With but a very few exceptions all
of the grain men are located in the building ,
and transact all their business here. The
telegraph company had its operators right
hero and the commercial business is vary
large. The grain men do millions of dollars
worth of business each ycer , and the farmer
is benefited by having them located hero.
'Certainly we cannot expect to have elevators
and warehouses located hero until the rail
roads give us u milling-ln-trunslt rate , the
same as ICunsasCity and St , Ix > uis. That is
onu of the obstacles we are trying to sur
mount , and I believe wo will be rewarded by
success In the end. We are also endeavor
ing to establish an open board-the same us
Chicago hero , and wo will bo successful in
this also.
\Vliy the I-'ti'lglit Iliirtvin l > 'tillml ,
"The proposition to establish a freight
bureau was a hone of contention.
Every member of the board favored the es
tablishment of a freight bureau. The oppo
sition was to binding the Board of Trade for
three years for f 1,000 per year and not to thu
establishment of the bureau. If thu propo
sition hud been so submitted us to provide
for the appropriation of $1,000 for a year and
then If It was deemed wise appropriate a
further sum , there would have Wen no op
position ,
"Thero Is not n Board of Trade In the
country which is uK | > n a more solid founda
tion , more prosperous nml has better credit
than this board. Thu investment in thu
building and grounds bus ji.iid well and the
board is fr'Ul.OOO better off by reason thereof.
Thu property today is worth $ -400,000. Dur

duced Its liabilities about fS.OOO each year ,
and that certainly denotes prosperity ,

it was perfectly proper. Some organization
of _ citizens must entertain visitors in the
city , or the town will receive a name not at
all complimentary. There must be the same
hospitality shown hero that Omaha people
enjoy in other places , and it lias como within
the province of the board to perform that
duty.

A number of merchants and railroad men
chanced to meet in a downtown resort the
other day , and among the different subjects
discussed was that of the organization of a
commercial club. The dozen gentlemen
present were heartily in favor of the organi
zation of a club wliero the merchants and rail
road men can meet during the lunch hour , or
at any other time of the day. The talk oven
went so far that some of those gentlemen
tatcd an amount they would bo willing to

'rutty I.lttlo r.ainu Now Colng on In
Ollllllia School Circle * . „
ThojH'cscnt basis for fixing the salaries of
rinclpals in tlio Omaha schools has long
jcen a source of irritation and dissatisfac-
ion. It 1ms also been the cause of a vast
mount of wire pulling by fair female hands.
The salary of a principal depends upon the
lumber of rooms in the school over which
ho presides. There area number of schools
vhlch have detached rooms and thcs'o the
irlncipals always claim of course as a basis
"or swelling their salaries. Sometimes
i conflict arises when pupils are
sent out of ono district into
mother. The principal touching in
ho district where the children rightfully bo-
ong.but where they can not be accommodated
kilin the rooms the transferred children
occupy us properly belonging to her. But
ho principal who has to oversee the work
of thu Jeuchers In actual charge of the
iransferred children , naturally holds thut
ier salary ought to bo increased on account
of the increase in thu number of rooms In
Her district.
Just at present there la a pretty little game
of high grade politics going on between the
principals of the Central and the Cuss
schools and various members of the Board of
( Education , When school opened lust
September It was found Impossible to ue-
[ ommodatu all the children of thu central
illstrict at the High school building and two
rooms were transferred to the St. Barnadus
school which is within the Cass school dis
trict. There arose u question at oncu us to
liow this was going to effect the salaries of
the two principals who had charge of these
two districts , The principal of the Central
school protested that it would bo unfair to
cut her salary down and tha principal of the
Cass school declared that It would bo little
short of an outrugu In the board to expect
her to take charge of two extra roams with
out raising her salary the usual $10 u month
to which she would bo entitled under ordin
ary circumstances by the addition of two
more rooms to her district.
Thus fur thu principal of the Central school
linn been able to hold her former salary , but
the principal of the Cass school has not been
drawing tiie additional ? ! ( > a monthand both
she ami her friends have become qulto in
dignant over tlio matter ,
( n ull probaoility the matter will como bo-
foru the board at the next meeting und may
stir up some thing of a bree/.o.

UNION PACIFIC PROSPECTS IMPROVING
Froaldent Clark Speaks Hopefully of tlio
dominion of tlio Itoiul Director Millard -
lard Tulles of the Financial
Phugo oT the Company.
At the adjourned meeting of the Union
'aeitlo directors held in Boston Friday ,
icorge Gould was elected to succeed his
athcr in the directory and to still further
: arry on the work of getting young blood
n the board Sidney Dillon Riplcy , a grand-
on of Sidney Dillon , was elected director
n place of the latter.
These changes are not without condider-
iblo import and carry out the prediction
nade in these columns shortly after Jay
Gould's death that cither the Gould inter
ests would have absolute control or else a.
new management would succeed to the prop-
srty. With the election of these two men
ho latter contingency is not likely to arise.
Until the report made by an agent of the
breign stockholders was given to the press
.ho chances of a change seemed partieu-
arly bright , but with the findings of Mr.
Jossovain's emissary staring the antago-
ilstic elements in the face , a more conservu-
ivo view has obtained , and the opinion is
[ onoral that there will bo no change in the
ircsent heads of departments , all imlica-
ions pointing to the re-election of Mr. S. II.
II , Clark at the next annual meeting in
April.
Mr. Clark yesterday said that ho had been
advised of the election of Mr , Gould and Mr.
.tlploy to the board ,
"Does this election indicate that there
will bo a change in the management ! " Mr.
"llurk was asked.
' On the contrary the indications would
scorn to point to still closer relations. While
no one can tell what will be done ut the next
election , I ussumo that things will go on as
now. "
This present condition of affairs is qulto In
line with the published interview with Mr.
Dickinson , the assistant general manager of
the Union Pacific1 , in Tnc Kvixixo BKK
Friday.
On the I'liiiinclul Shin ,
Mr. J. II. Mlllard , one of tlio directors of
the Union Paclllo , was seen yesterday mornIng -
Ing and asked to glvo his views us to the
ilnancial standing of the Overland route , it
Is well known that the president of the
Omaha National bank is qulto conversant
with the Ilnancial part of the Union Pacillo
system , having been n very clo.so friend of
Mr. Jay Gould , and a warm personal friend
of Mr. Fred Ames. Ho has made the finan
cial standing of the system a close study
from the standpoint of u govornmL'iit direc
tor and a director of the road ; ho has seen
both sides of the case.
Mr. Mlllard said ; ' 'It is a wollknown fact
that there are many croakers against
the Union Pacific , street clacqiicrs In the
employ of rival Chicago roads who impair
Iho standing of the road and impeach the
service for no other reason than that they are
Jealous of its success. Chicago is particu
larly the hotbed for these lilrds of ill otnen ,
why , I have never been able to understand ,
unless it is Jealousy ns I Imvo stated , But
notwithstanding these croakings the Union
Pacific's credit is butter today than it has
over been. It is paying off Its trust notes us
they fall duo , it is not In the market as a
borrower , and has money In the treasury to
meet Its running expenses , Its only creditor
is the government and I look forward to the
tlmo when that debt will bo paid oil.
"From \iuslness | x > lnt of view , as cold
blooded us you want to put it , the govern
ment could do no butter than to extend the
debt for llft.v or a hundred years utii per
cent. It Is a fact that banks and other cor
porations are paying par for the 2 per cent
bonds which were originally the 2 > s and 4s ,
and upon the same line of reasoning the
bonds of the Union Pacific would reach par
if the debt was extended. But my idea has
always been to scale the debt , making it
payable in fifty , seventy-live and a hundred
years , so that in thirty or forty years hcnco
the road would bo in a condition to meet its
obligations as they mature.
Krcoiuinciiiloil the Intension.
"Governor Bullock , one of the government
directors who made an extended tour of the
system , I understand , lias nicd his report
which recommends that as the road is in
such excellent condition the debt bo ex
tended , believing that It would greatly help
the road and at the same time work incalcu
lable benefit to the government. It is not
policy ; to Imrrass the debtor in this case. The
road.fc getting on its feet , its stock Is grow
ing in value and with the extension asked
would touch par , I believe.
"I have made a short tour of the system
and know whereof 1 speak when I say that
it is physically nblo to handle all the busi
ness that comes to it. Under the manage
ment of Mr. Clark it has wonderfully im
proved and I think both foreign and at homo
stockholders are unanimous in desiring Mr.
Clark to remain where ho is.
"Tho Union Pacific is an Omalm road and
it penetrates a marvelous country- Omaha
people forgot sometimes what interests
the road has hero and the bankruptcies
that would occur if its business was to bo
done at a different point. The other roads
in Omaha may fairly bo called Chicago roads ,
but the Union Pacific terminates hero , its
shops are hero , its headquarters are here , it
has no interests cast of the Missouri river.
"To make It one of the great roads of the
world it needs the fostering care of tlio gov
ernment , and I havt-n't the least doubt but
that it will get the debt it owes the govern1
incut extended. The people wouldn't like to
see the road In tlio hands of a receiver , and
I think the conservative judgment of legis
lators will bo toward the extension of the
debt. "
" Union I'urllli !
The Union Pacific has filed demurrers in
the Milwaukee and Rock Island Injunction
cases recently begun in the district court ,
and asked that the cases be removed to the
United Stales circuit court.
Judge Tliurston said to a BKK man yester
day that ho understood the cases would not
'to pushed to trial , the Milwniikcu and Hock
sland being perfectly satisfied that they
were wanted in the Union depot. "Corre
spondence outside the bridge contract , " said
Mr. Tlinrston , "shows that the Milwaukee
and Rock Island are perfectly satisfied with
tlio present arrangements , and as it is a
atter of business to have the roads run
Into the dcN | > l , it seems foolish to pursue the
natter further. "
