in conference with other officials on the sub-
. ject. The zassEnger departments of the
J3urllngton , Northwestern and flock Islatnd
there are attending to the interests of th'so
lines. eflerni Passenger AenL Buchanan
of the Elkiorn ) has returned from Tuesday's
7nccttng of the Western l'assenger assocla-
tion In Chicago and says the matter was
Jiot discusc,1 there ,
In the nhscnce of oiflclal nilvicca on the
autject there is difference of opinion
among Omaha railroad men as to what. will
, bo done , Iany believe that the schedules
of the new fast trains will really be
lengthened out on August 14. They doubt
whether the aoing down of the trains wili ,
however , amount to one nnd a half hours
WCthOllflI ( and two and a ha'f ' hours cast-
. bound , the latter Is most seriously doubted ,
It , Is practically conceeded , however , that
tim schedules will be lengthened out In pro.
bronco to taking off the tr.ins or to sub-
nlttlng to a cut-rate tournament with lines
that cannot ninko tim tlmo of the now
trains of the Northwestern-Union Pacific ,
tbe hock Island and the Burlington.
rlie iiuportnnt consideration In the set-
- tiement of the long-mooted points Is
the abolition of tim excess fares on
the new fast trains. These amounted to $1
in thu through sleopera nod $1 in the chair
t g. They were fixed by Chairman Cald-
'well of the Western Passenger nasociatlon ,
who was elccted as arbiter In the fast
train controversy , and he flxe4 the excess
fare so high that lie even agreeably our-
Prised the alower lines that were clamor-
lug for a handicap to ho placed on the fast
Imps. The excess tarn really never amounted
to niuch of an obstacle to passengers ( IC-
airing to ride on the fast trains , no there
vcro so many convenient ways to circum-
vent the ruling of the chairman. I'aasengers
would buy to Omaha from either Chicago
or Denver and then re-buy , very easily
cocaping the tax. But the excess faro boglo
.
\s.as used by other lines to ( livert travel
from the fast trains , aTid once in awhile It
( liii frighten away a. through passenger from
the fast train.
The settlement reported to ho agreed on
untireiy pleases none of the lines. The
Northwestern-Union Pacific and the flock
roland do not take at all kindly to the
lengthenIng of their train schedules , while
the BurlIngton is willing to do anything that
these two lines will do. The veal lines that
have no such fast trains are disappointed he-
cause , while the settlement does away with
the excess fare , it does not. entirely do away
with strong competition in the form of the
most handsome trains In the west. The
weak lInes are backed up to a remarhable
degree by the Chicago newspapers , whose
Irculatiou has not been helped a bit by the
LOW fast trains. The railroad columns of
LI , , . Chicago papers have been predicting the
; abandonment cC the fnt traIns almost coli-
tinuously iuce the time they were put on
the uiad , and they are not at all pleased
with the prospect of the trains remaining in
iervice.

The UnIted States League of Local Building -
ing 81(11 Loan Asancialions will meet in
Omaha on July 27 , 28 and 2l. After several
w'eeks of negotiations with passenger men
auth Chairman Caidwoll of the Western
Passenger association a round trip rate of
$20 from Chicago end $17 from St. Louis
has been declared for the Omaha meeting.
The rate made for this convention is but
a slight reduction front the regular rate.
It is 40 cents lobs than the summer tourist
rate that is offered to almost every point
itt this season of the year. The building
and loan people are sore at the railroads for
not having announced a lower rate. On
the other hand the passenger men say that
this Ia as low a rate a.s the league has ever
enjoyed.
In discuraing tIm prospect of lower rates
from Chicago hirlng the remainder of the
exposition , passenger men generally admit
that the rates will have to come down train
their present high perch before many
months. It Is merely a question of how long
the 80 per cent rates can be kept tip. The
freedom with % 'hich the scalpers are manip-
ulatlog tickets In anti ou of hero is given as
the most potent reason for immediate ro-
ductioa of the railroad rates. Onepassenger
official said to TIm Bee : 'I belico the en-
forceinent of a law against the scalpers
would b at once followed by the announcement -
mont of a round-trip rate of $12.76 train
Chicago , with a one-way rate of 6.hO , But
it Is unreasonable td expect the granting of
low rates when the scalpers have just about
knocked out regular local business. It they
are to continue in business there is only one
thIng that can be done In the way of grant-
; how rates , and. that is to vut in only
one-way rates , end that will sacrifice con-
ahierablo revenue from regular travel forever

OMAHA , July 10.-To the Editor of The
flee : 11ev , John Albert Williams makes
grave dharges again8t the people of Omaha
oil account of their treatment of our cal-
ored fellow-citizens. Ho claims that ( lecent
negroes arc discriminated against In hotels ,
restaurants. places of amusement. etc. , and
that no matter how iany disreputable
white rowdies may frequent such places ,
there is no objection raised , but a colored
man or woman is looked upoa with contempt -
tempt and refused attention.
I can bear evidence of the truth of every
word written by Roy. Williams , and I have
often said to myself that the people of this
country are the most perfect hypocrites in
the world. As long as they can vioiafo the
otatuto with impunity , no matter how grave
the offense may be , their conscience never
tiphralds them. Apparently their motto is :
"You may break the law , but don't be
caught at i.t. " Wo supposed that the civil
war and tlio adoption of the xiii , xiv and
xv amendments to the Constitution had set-
tied the question of equality for all time.
Man is endowed with certain attributes as
well as Tights , These attributes are in-
nate-better developed , perhnps , in some
races than in others , on account of environ-
meats , Shall we ridicule those whose op-
pertunitles for improvement have been in-
tenor to our own ? It 1 pretty well dam-
onstrated that lurlng the single generation
in which our colored brother has been
emancipated whenovr 1io has had the
chance ho has proven himself a worthy
competitor of his late taskmaster ; and that
during these years ho has made marvelous
progresir. But this is not all , The negro
depends upon his Caucasian friend , 'who has
net hini upon his career and has promised
him protection and encouragement. mci-
dentally I may say that the Caucasian race
limo been great in many things. It has been
the greatest robber , the greatest murdero
nad the greatest sycophant the world ever
saw. For instance , "our cousins" seni
tracts and bibles to Africa and India to
Christianize the heathen , and then they
iend ; cannon afll dynamite , so that the
poor native wretches may be blown Into
eternity If they attempt to defend thick
homes , The survival of the fittest , don-
ehier-know.
Lot us be fair and truthful and obedient
to the law , We cannot afford to act the
hypocrite. We voluntarily placed the negro
on a legal equality with ourselves. Why
not ; recognize the social equality too ? Are
wo bettor educated , more refined , wealthier
than he ? Then in God's name , let us help
to raise him up rather than plunge him
deeper into his mIsfortunes. There is not a
more loyal citizen in the United States
than the negro , and yet a few years ago
here in the city of Omaha an unfortunate
colored man was torn to pieces on our
public streets and the remnants of his poor
anatomy were hung up on a telegraph pole.
We are ashamed to speak of this , because
it brings and will bring eternal disgrace
Upon us , Omahi must do a great ( leal before -
fore she can atone for that horrible sin.
We must accept Conditions as they exist.
Nearly 10 per cent of our population are
negroes. Tboy have the same rights and
privileges that we have. Notwithstanding
color , they and we are descended from the
same common parents. They are Cod's
children the same as we. Their souls are
just us precious as ours-no difference nor
distinction on account of color. Tim five
races of mankind are all the same in the
eyes of God , although the White man has
an awful account against him upon the
ledger of the recording angel , We may
think ourselvoi better than others , but we
are mighty poor judges. Let the United
States be true to its traditions and princi-
pies. Lot us live up to our constitution and
laws and sot an example for other nations
wliidh we claim are inferior to us , Let us
be honest and truthful , and when we prom-
lao to do a thing iet us fulfill that promise.
no matter wlmt it may dost us , Let us not
merit the charge preferred some time ago
by one of our own magOzine writers : That we
nra the greatest liars on earth. Above all
let us be fair and honorable to the negro ,
We kept him In slavery nearly two con-
turks. It vili take fully that time to make
reparation for our scandalous conduct ,

Ono of the entertaining men in attend-
once upon the lhepublican National league
convention was lion. Thomas Thorson of
South Dakota. Mr. Thorson is ft resident
of Canton , and has had much to do with
making history in that state. Be entered
its borders when a boy , in 1871 , and has
resided there over since. Although not a
politician , Mr. Thereon was a member of
the constitutional convention , the first state
auditor and in addition to this , lie has befit
numerous oflices of trust and could have
held more it ho bad signified his willing-
noes to accept.
When Mr , Thorson first settled In South
Dakota the country was a wildei'ness , the
home of the buffalo and the prairie wolf.
"Twenty-seven years ago 1 coUld atnint on
the high bluff on the Iowa side of the
Sioux river and see the westeth border of
the white settlements , " lie says. "They
dPI not extend out more than four miles
from the river and from fliare on to the
h'aciflc coast. I don't think there was a
white man , woman or child , with lie poe-
siblo exception of a half dozen families
living out at Turnerville. in the c'nltcr of
Turner count' , the first. county west of the
one in which Canton is located. Canton then
was a frontier town of a dozen houses. There
were possibly fifty people , mostly men. There
were a few women , among whom was Mrs. .1.
I , . Johnson , wife of the , roprietor of the
fIrst hotel in the place , This hotel was a
log cabin of four rooms and was the only
first-class hostelry between Sioux City m.d
Sioux Falls. "
Even UI ) ivith Speculators.
In the early 'TO's the land in western Iowa
was held by speculators who hind bought
00010 years previous nud had held It , hoping -
ing to realize. They did realize good returns -
turns later on , but for a number of years
it kept them busy paying taxes. Speaking
of the manner in which the few settlers in
Lyons , Sioux and other western Iowa counties -
ties broke even , Mr. Thorson said : "In
those early days with grasshoppers and
drouth hitting the' country at frequent in-
tervais , most at the people were schemers.
They looked , upon the eastern land speculators -
ulators as their natural and legal prey and
they preyed oft of them , too.
"As I said before the whole of western
Iowa was In the hands of the eastern money
men and to break oven with them small
parties of settlers , seeing an opportunity to
make something on the side , purchased smnll
tracts of land in the counties heretofore
referred to , As soon as they secured title
they located a county seat at Rock Rapids
in Rock county and Calliope in Sioux county
and immediately thereafter organized their
counties. Being once organized , special dcc-
tions were called and officers were elected.
At the same election bond propositions
wore submLtted and hundreds of thousands
of dollars In bonds voted for the erection of
public buildings. the construction of bridges
and the grading of roads. Of course these
things looked fair enough on the exterior ,
but the smooth work 'was on the inside.
There were only a few men In the counties
md In about every instance the officials
Were th contractors. Contracts were let at
high figures and buildings commenced. Inside -
side of a year fine school houses had been
erected in every school district , many of
which were never occupied simply for the
reason that there were no children to attend -
tend the schools. Teachers , however , were
employed and paid fancy salaries. The teach-
era vere always relatives or friends of the
officials who as well were the contractors.
liulldlug a Pew Bridges.
"About the biggest steal was in the con-
stiuction of bridges. One man would secure
the contract for a bridge over some stream.
He would build the structure and secure its
acceptance by the Board of County Commis-
sioaers , after which it would ho moved to
another location where a contract had been
awarded for the erection of another bridge.
If I remember correctly , there was one
bridge In one of the western counties of
Iowa that was paid for flvo times. That Is ,
it was built over the river at one point and
subsequently moved to four other locations
before It found a permanent resting place.
"To pay for all of these improvements ,
bonds hearing a high rate of interest and
running for a long period of time were
issued and sold in the east. When the inter-
eat became duo and the speculators were
apprised of the high rate of taxation , they
raised a kick , but they could do nothing ,
or at least it they could they did not. Later
on after the counties settled up there was
an attempt to repudiate the early debts and
the eases went into court wliero they hung
for a long time , finally being compromised ,
Up in that country we don't do bisiness in
that way now. We do business on huslnea
principles and have a low rate of taxation.
We think that we have the best country on
the face of the earth. We raise good crops
and our people are rich. The only blight
that ever sweeps over the country is an occasional -
casional scourge of populism , but that. has
passed. South Dakota is hack Ia the republican -
lican column and Is there to stay. This fall
we will elect our cntiro state ticket and
most of the counties will elect republicans
from top to bottom , "

REGUTTERING ON SIXTEENTH
Council Finnllyletcrinines to have
the Inipr.neatient iortIi of
Douglas Cnrrieil Out
The city council has approved the scheme
to regutter and recurb North Sixteenth
street train Douglas to Izard streets. Tue
bid of J. B. Smith , which was accepted by
the Board of Public Works , has been approved -
proved by the city fathers , and is now in
the hands of the mayor. The latter has
not yet determined what to do with the
document ,
The council did not approve the matter
except with considerable hesitation. It is
feared that If the work 1 done now it v1il
form a great nuisance , as Sixteenth street
is the main throughfare from the heart of
the city to the exposition grounds. If the
mayor approves the contract , it will take a
consitlerablo time to complete the job , for
the council is determined that no more than
two blocks of the street shall be torn upat
cue time. Tills determination WILL seriousty
interfere 'with an early completion of the
work.
According to Smith's contract , the present
stone gtittering is to be torn up and ho is
to relay the gutters with asphalt , New
curbing to the amount of 3,148 feet Is to be
put in and 3,710 of the old curb Is to be
rcset. His hid was $1.75 per yard for the
work. The area of the guttering Is 3,216
yards and of intersections 1,407 yards , a
total of 4,703 yards. The cost of the work
will therefore be $8,230.25.
Contractor Smith declares that he Is ready
to commence work at any time after his
contract may be approved by Mayor Moores.
ItepitirM Ioi Streets.
City Engineer Rosewater has it figured
out that $5,000 will be the additional sum
needed to put the streets and alleys of the
city in proper condition and look after them
during the remainder of the year should the
weather conditions be normal. This was
the estimate he sent into the council meeting -
ing last nigbt and there is every likelihood
that the finance conitnittee will in some
way provide the funds.
Whiie there have been no extensive repairs -
pairs made this year , except such as were
required after heavy rains , there has been
0. heavy drain upon the $12,000 fund set aside
for the purpose. This is a direct result of
the permanent sidewalk campaign. The
number of Permanent walks that are being
put down this year is unprecedented in the
history of the city. Many of these walks
arc being placed in the outlaying districts
and to piepnre for them a considerable bit
of grading has been necessary. The cost
of this grading has come out of the fund
set aside for repairs.
Even with the additional amount of money
asked for the fund will be much smaller
than for years past. For a good many
years the annual expenditures of the Board
of Public Works , including salaries. has
. According to City Engineer -
been about $25,000.
gineer Rosowater's estimate , it will be only
$17,000 this year , also including salaries.
At present there is but a comparatively
small amount of repairing to be done.
There are some washouts tobe fixed up ,
but outside of them there is iltuc eao.

Judwe Slnbnugha order. . tile Paraphier-
unhia Taken froiii ( lie lIninonul
GIVOIL flack to Dietricli ,
The crusade agalnstgambling received a
setback yesterday morning in the decision of
Judge Siabaugh , who ordered that au the
gambling paraphernalia and devices seized
In the gambling rooms of the Diamond
saloon last February be turned over to G.
I-I. Dietricli , its owner. This unlooked-for
order , which gives the gamblers the means
of again establishing themselves in business -
ness , was made on the representation of
the gamblers' attorney that the stuff had
been seized in a raid and not by search
warrant and was not therefore subject to
confiscation , In this contention he was sus-
tamed by Judge Slabaugh , who signed an
order directing the sheriff , in whose custody
the stuff is held , to turn it over to the chief
of police , of whom he got it , and the latter
was directed to turn it over to its owner.
Chief Callagher accepted the stuff.
In making the order for the return of the
furniture Judge Slabaugh set aside ( ho or-
tier he originally made with regard to the
disposition of the stuff. At the conclusion
of Dietrlch's trial on the charge of gambling ,
in which he was found not guilty , Judge
Slabaugh made an order directing the sheriff
to burn all of the gambling paraphernalia
confiscated. Legal interpositions on the part
of the gamblers' attorney saved the furniture
from the flames.
