Railway Matter * .
Much has been written recently about the
Great. Northern building Into Omaha , much
that has been sensational and a great deal
that 1ms been entirely devoid of truth. But
that the Great Northern will eventually come
Into Omaha Is believed In railroad circles as
Implicitly ns that the road will occupy the
termini of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company ,
Mr. Hill will come from the north
via Sioux City and cross the river
nl Omaha , It Is learned that ofllciulfl
bf the Great Northern have been
negotiating with Boston bankers to handle
the bonds of the company necessary to build
the road Into this city , and 1S91 , It le
thought , will see the company very far along
toward making Omalu Its southern ter

NORTH & SOUTH RAILROAD.
J'resldent Stoddard KajH Work ot Hiilldlng
' Will Hegln .Soon.
Mr , R , Stoddard , president of the North &
South Railway company , returned to Omaha
yesterday and feels very hopeful that the
road will soon bo built. To a reporter of
The Bee he nald :
"There Is no question that when the work
Is completed nt Galveston harbor , which will
bo within twelve months , they will have
twenty-five feet of waiter , which Is sufficient
to float any vessel. Our object' Is to build
an air line north nnd south to connect with
this , the deep water harbor. Our road will
pass through 33,000,000 acres of heavy timber
tn eastern Texas. It will also pass through
the vast coat fields of Indian Territory and
Kansas and the richest agricultural lands
along the whole Hue , crossing Kansas , Ne
braska and the two Dakotas. There will bo
n branch started from somewhere In Texas ,
which will run through Arkansas , Missouri ,
Iowa , Minnesota , and terminate at some
point on the lakes. The plan now Is to build
about 2,400 miles of road. Export agricul
tural products all come from west of the
Mississippi river , the average haul being
today 1,500 miles to seaboard. The average
haul to the gulf will be 700 miles , or a sav
ing of over one-half ot the distance , thereby
escaping all toll gates which wo have to pass
through. The present export product of
breadstuffs Is $300,000,000 per year. Our
export products of cured meats , Increased
by other meat products , butter , cheese , lard ,
etc. , amount to 115,000,000 per year ; live
cattle $40,000OuO per year. This makes a
grand total ot $190,000,000 per year which
should have a southern outlet , and thereby
save at least 10 per cent. This would be a
Having each year of $49,000,000 on exports.
The export price fixes the price of the
whole product.
"To Imagine the enormous saving to our
producers , Just consider that according to
our government statistics the exports are
only 10 per cent of the total production.
.wTako . our coal bill of Nebraska , which maybe
bo averaged at a ton per capita with average
cost today $ B per ton , making a total of
' over $0,000,000 tor coaU With a direct line
from the , coal fields on the , south the saving
to Nebraska people would be over $2,000,000
per year , and the same can ; bo said of lum
ber. This line will also connect us with the
bouthcrn fruit and vegetable products , which
are now so high priced In this part that
only wealthy people can use them.
"Our committee has an option at Point
Hollvcr , across from Oalveston about five
miles , on 2,850 acres of land from the Point
Bollver City company. Wo have besides
this had donated to us lands to the amount
ot over 2,000 acres , all to aid In the con
struction ot the road , being enough tn build
100 miles. Surveying and grading will com
mence within forty days nnd the first 100
miles will becomplotcd and In running order
the present year. "
That Was i yuentlon.
The answer filed Tuesday In the circuit
court of Wyoming to the petition of the
Union Pacific receivers , asking authority to
make a new schedule of wages , Is the hubject
of considerable discussion about Union Paelflc
headquarters. The answer , which seeks to
have the court refuse to grant the prayer of
the petitioners , also states that the basis of
comparison Instituted by the Union Pacific
receivers Is not sound , and it goes on to
uhow wherein mistakes have been made.
A Union Pacific official , regarding the
merits of the answer ot the employes , said :
"The comparisons Introduced In the receiv
ers' petition have been the result of several
"
years actual study on the part ot" those In
terested In these questions. They have not
been hastily put together for purposes ot
prejudicing the court , but are actual condi
tions found at present existing on rival
roads. The suporlntondimts. of the different
divisions have been actively at work for
months In making these comparisons nnd
they nro as flawless as they could well bo.
The receivers ot the Union Pacific never
Bought to deny the men the right to bo
hoard , but on the contrary have given them
thirty days notice In which to prepare re
plies to the petition of the receivers asking
authority to equalize the wages on the sys
tem , Of course men resist n reduction In
wages , but hero Is n case where there nro
many glaring mistakes us to wages paid ,
and the receivers ECO how considerable
money can bo saved to the company by
equalizing the wn o.s , which they have done
by petition to the courts.
"As to the constructive mllcago feature
of the petition It should , In point of fact ,
never have been allowed to enter Union Pa-
clfio circles at all. It Is false In principle ,
and Is being abandoned wherever possible
by roads allowing It. It was Introduced on
the Union Pacific at a time when the road
was earning a great deal more than fixed
charges , operating expenses nnd the like ,
when the country was prosperous. But In
these times of business depression , when
the earnings nro falling oft terribly , some
thing radical had to be done- , and the new
schedule of wages was decided upon. My
own opinion Is that the cut should have como
lit the time the salaries of clerks and officials
were reduced. Had this boon done the
present acltatlon would bo unnecessary.
"If ( ha mon would only look at these mat
ters In n conservative way there would bo little -
tlo need for n court's Intervention Knowing ,
as 1 do , the fooling of the receivers. I.luivo
no hesitancy In saylntr that the oDlclals of
the company , prior to the road going Into
the hands of the receivers , were entirely too
lenient and they made concessions to the
different crafts that worked great harm to the

His truffle agreement with the Gulf sy&tem ,

was taken under advisement for a couple of

This afternoon hearings on the petition of
the receivers of the Union Pacific to put Into

which has been granted by Judge Oumly at
Omaha , was given. For the receivers ap

by Tnulton Merrlt of North Platte , Williams

Hodges of this city , nnd H. 12. Ksteb and K.
A. Van Arsdel of Cheyenne. Judge Thurs
ton said the Union Pacific had been paying
higher wages relatively than any Other sys
tem nnd this schedule of wages was kept up
until the panic came. Unless the schedule
submitted was allowed there was danger of
stopping the economical administration of
the gre.it Union Pacific property. Ho asked
that the matter be referred to n master or
referee who should report to the court BO

the new schedule should bo In effect after
March 1.
Judge Crofton , Judge Merrlt and Mr.

CHICAGO , Feb. 7. The Western Passen
ger association lines are hopeful that trans
continental rate troubles will be adjusted at
the meeting tomorrow. All the lines In In
terest will bo represented and the general
opinion Is that the outcome will be satisfac
tory all around. The chief'disquiet over the
outcome was occasioned today by the action
of the Union Pacific , which Implied that un
less satisfactory arrangements concerning
commissions on emigrant business are made
that It will withdraw from the emigrant
clearing house. Its views are deemed ex
orbitant by the other lines and the matter
will not go the Union Pacific's way without
a hard fight , nnd tlio chances generally are
against It. The Union Pacific has made a
cut of $5 on the $20 arbitrary rate between
San Francisco and Portland , but as the cut
Is made over the Southern Pacific and the
latter has not announced any reduction the
Union Pacific Is compelled to share the $3.
The ? 5 cut affpcts the regular standard
rate only , Midwinter fair rates not being
affected.

The telegram from Denver announcing
that Judges Hlner- and Hallctt had dented
the application of the receivers ot the Union
Pacific to have set aside the order of Judge
Hallett regarding the Julesburg branch , la
contradicted at Union Pacific headquarters.
Judge Thurston wired Assistant Secretary
Orr Tuesday night that the arguments In the
case hud not been completed and would not
be before last night. As to n decision on
tlio question , he did not expect ono for sev
eral days.
At Union Pacific headquarters the feeling
prevails that Judge Hallott cannot help but
withdraw his order compelling the road to
operate the Julesburg branch on the ground
that there Is no agreement in existence
compelling the Union Pacific to operate the
road at a loss. Should Judge Hallctt refuse
to resclivl his order It is Intimated that
Judge Caldwell , senior judge of this district ,
will be called upon to review the caso.

The Dally News says : The Increased gold

augury for the malntalnancc or advance of

LONDON , Feb. 7. Commenting on the re
fusal of the duke of Devonshire , leader of
the liberal unionists In the House of Lords ,
to support Lord Salisbury In an amendment
favoring the Interests of landlords to the
parish councils bill , which refusal led to the
withdrawal of the statement and amendment
and to a declaration by Lord Salisbury that
it was useless to persist In the face of the
opposition of the duke of Devonshire , the
Dally News says the Independence of the
duke of Devonshire perhaps saved the bill ,
and It will Increase his reputation for prudence -
denco , sense and sagacity. Lord Salisbury ,
it says , has no political courage.
The Chronicle says : Lord Salisbury's con
duct has deprived him ot the smallest title
to statesmanship. The duke of Devonshire ,
on the whole , Is a stronger man. Ho suc
ceeded In preserving the unionist alliance at
the cost of exasperating the old tory guard
and discrediting the late premier as a pos
sible leader of any future coalition ministry.
The sooner Mr. Gladstone returns from

OMAHA , Feb. 7. To the Kdltor of The
Bee : Your course in advocating strjct
supervision of electric wiring and removal of
dead poles , as well as upholding the mayor
tn his vetoes on electric light bills , Is com
mendable. But why not demand of the
water works company also the fulfillment of
their obligations ? Are they not to blame
for all the largo losses by flro which have
occurred of late and the consequent raise tn
the Insurance rates ? Do they not violate
their eontract with the city by furnishing
water at much less pressure than their obli
gation calls for ? Has not the destruction
of Farnam street theater , Shlverlck's ,
Orchard's , and In fact every largo conflagra
tion been duo to lack of force of water ?
Does not the ordinance , their contract and
obligation , call for sufficient power to throw
at any ono time nt Fourteenth and Farnam
streets eight streams ot water 110 feet high ,
at High bcliool building four streams 100
foot high , at Eleventh and Pierce two
streams , nt Fourteenth and Farnam two
Kti earns , and nt Sixteenth nnd Grace two
streams , all blnuiltunoously and all 100 feet
high ? Can they do It and do they do It ?
While the city Increases Its facilities for
fighting the lire year after year , adding
water towers and steam engines , the water
works company Is decteasing the pressure
and the conflagrations grow both In numbers
and in extent. And yet wo do not hear as
much complaint In public against the water
works company.'o do not hear that their
bills were vetoed on that score , although
the lack In the strength of light causes no
loss outside of the hte.il there Is In tlio blllH
for same , while the lack ot water pressure
Is the cause ot immense losses by coullagra
lion , both to citizens and Insurance compa
nies , and at the same time a tremendous lots
to all policy holders on acatint of Increased
Insurance rates.
Why this tenderness toward the water
A'orks company ? Are they perhaps liberal
n any direction ? God save the mark ! There
s no organized robbery that can hold u can-
He to the water \\mkH company. Other cor-
> oratlons usually take "all the tralllc can
) oar , " but thlH 0110 does not look for that
md takes all it poaio ! , Take , for Instance ,
i me'llum-seUed printing ofllce. The rate
or printing ofllccu | x given In the ordinance )
it $8 to $40 and the water works company
ory properly charges for a medium-sized
illlco $25. That Is not excessive. But does
ho company stop there ? Have you got the
iso of water after you have paid the $25 ?
Hess you , no ! You have to pay In addition
or ever } drop of water you will use , for
very convenience , for eu-ry hydrant extra ,
llnd you. you will have to pay In addition
o the $25 , and pay doubln and treble prices ,
oo ! There nro three water closets for the
IHO of the employes only , bat the water rob-
iory organization will charge you $5 for
> adi , the ratn which U paid In "public.

forty gallons n day , to unsh off the forms
that nro printed , nnd you have lo pr.y for
that $10. too. Hut have yon not paid $25 of
general charges for "printing olllco ? " Yes.
that Is what the ordinance allows the water
company , presumably ns n special donation ,
nnd In addition yon Imvo to pay for every
drop nf water tnod for any purpose extra at
the rate of "publlo houses. "
If you Imvo a gas onglno which uses no
water , except Wnt | , llltlo evaporates whllo It
circulates around thy Jacket to keep It cool ,
why they \MII charge you J2S even for that.
The ordinance says ougiiti. . " and they Imvo
n right to charge for the gas ongtno , nnd
they do.
Mr. IMItor , this Is no Motion ; this Is n
fact. And yet wo bear the extortions ot
this grinding monopoly and Instead of forc
ing them to give us the protection against
fire which they nro bound to do by the ordi
nance , wo advocate the Incieaso of lire en
gines nnd other facilities.
Lot the counsil and mayor once test the
force of the waterworks mid refuse to pass
the bills of the robbers uml perhaps wo will
not have It necessary to make nny moro ex
penses for additional apparatus nnd will bo
able to combat the fire , so that Omaha will
bo free ot destructive conllagratlons as wo
were the first ten years after this monster
monopoly had established Itself here.
I noticed n few days ago that n Missouri
justice has given n judgment against the
Standard Oil company for a loss by fire , because -
cause their poor oil had caused the conllagru-
tlon. Why cannot the waterworks company
bo held responsible for the tremendous
losses Buffered , by fires the last throe years ,
when It and It alone Is to blame for them ?
