NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-Government bonds
were active and steady to-day. State bonds
were very dun and steady. Railroad bonds
continued dull the sales amounting 10 only
$l.547. 600, of which the East Tennessee issues
contributed $4,000. In sympathy with
stocks receipts were weak IN the forenoon
and strong after midday. resulting in irreg-
ulsr changes as compared with last previous
quotations Nickel Plate lists certificate are
a shade lower at $50. Ii is announced that
the papers on foreclosure proceedings were
served on the Lake Shore officers here and
copies sent TO the West last week for i'm
mediate action Stocks opened weak and
very irregular, and first prices showed losses
ranging between = to IL. except Louisville
& Nashville which was = higher. The sales
during the first half hour amounted 10 49,
Sl4 shares, the dealings being accompanied
by decided feverishness and a general irregu-
larity among the active stocks. Early in the
day there was an impression that the sudden
death of Mr.. ID. =. Morgan would necessarily
result in throwing n large amount OF stock
on the market. Later statements were TO the
effect that provisions had been made for the
carrying of such stocks as he had at his
death. This led TO a firmer tone. The
strength was further aided by reports Of
earnings by the granger roads for the
third week OF January. which Unexpectedly
showed slight gains where heavy losses had
been anticipated. A determined buyinZ
of the active list. The movement through
out tho day. however, was more irregular
than IL has been for some time past, and late
in the afternoon the market became heavy,
losing fractions during the last hour. aud the
market closed dull and heavy. Quotations,
as rule, are fractionally lower than Satur-
days closing. There are, however. num-
Der or exceptions, including Lackawanna.

ing Of Western Union al dav
under which the stock yielded

Omaha daily bee., 1886-11-08
The Light Vote,

The light vote castin Omaha at the late
election is of course used rs an argument
20 our disadvantage by rival cities. Des
Moines particularly jubiates over the
showing which it remarks "etfectually
disposes of the ridiculous claims of
Omaha" and indicates that Des Moines
''has in fact as much population" as this
city. Let us see.
Scarcely half of the registered vote
was cast at the last election. With
registration of nearly $4,000 voters, less
than $500 ballots were deposited in the
boxes on Tuesday. 1t was the lightest
vote polled in years. Fully two
thousand republicans stayed at home
in disgust over the situation, declining
to vote for candidate whom they be-
lieved to be corrupt and dishonest tricks
ter and unwilling to cast their ballots
for his opponent. A change in the hours
during which votes could be polled cut
off hundreds of clerks, workingmen and
laborers from chance of voting. When
the polls closed at o'clock more than
500 voters were waiting their turn ut the
polling places. The total vote indicated
nothing but the effects of bad nomina-
tons and an off year in failing to call
out the republican strength. But even
rs matters Stood let us suppose that
Douglas, West Omaha and Saratoga pre-
clncts, which are virtually apart of Omaha
and should be incorporated in the city
limits. had cast their votes under city
auspices. A round 1000 votes would have
been added to our total.
Estimates of population based on votes
cast in an election like the last are worth
less. There are too many elements which
must be taken into consideration. Omaha
contains $4,000 voters. Because half of
the voting population refuse to vote the
population of the city is not materially
decreased

The time has come for the people OF
Nebraska to call "a halt to the attempted
dictatorship Of the Burlington railroad
in the political affairs of this state. The
managers of that road are not content
with levying cxtortionate rates upon
their patrons and subiecting them to out
rageous determinations all along the
line, but they have artogatcd to them.
selves the sovereign powers of govern
mcnt which belong TO the people alone
Years ago, when Jay Gould at
tempted to convert Nebraska
into political province, there
was an uprising IN every hamlet
and the minions of the railroad king were
forced back and routed. Since Gould has
retired from the control of the Union Pa
ciiic, the Burlington managers have
taken his place and made his methods
their own. Their system now extends
into every section Of the state and their
political attorneys and henchmen are
located in nearly every county seat.
Their town site syndicate makes it its
business to pack conventions and legisla-
lures with plant tools of the railroad and
corrupts county and town governments
through favors and so.called courtcsies
which plain spoken people call bribery.
The boidness with which this political
subyersion of popular government has
been carried on is SIMPLY astounding. At
the last legislature the Burlington lobby,
headed by Holdrcgc and Devices, pooled
with the jobbers that hang around the
state house, ana by their JOINT efforts sue
ceeded in pushing through the railroad
commission fraud in defiance of the pop
ular will, and saddled upon the people
bills for the benefit of bogus claimants
amounting to thousands of dollars. One
of the Burlington attorneys acted rs 60
between for the Omaha and Lincoln
gamblers and the defunct candidate for
congress from this district. And now
the Burlington managers are actively at
work to capture and control the legisla-
ture and force upon the people their own
candidates for the legislature. Already
their emissaries are travelling through
the state to draw into their drag net
newly elected members of the legislature.
Will the people of Nebraska allow the
Burlington railroad to take control of the
state?
