CALIFORNIA LAND TROUBLES. A few weeks ago we gave a history of the land troubles in Tulars county, California, and our dispatches have from time to time given accounts of the conflicts between officers of the Southern Pacific railread and the har- dy settlers who were fighting for their homes. The equity and justice are all on the ride of th- settlors, but these men who lived ecantly on bacen and beans while traneformiog the desert land Snto wheat fields, were ansious to Tiave peace and quict. Their offer to pay the company 75 per ceut of tho »chedule price of the lauds was reject- «d. Itis a characteristic trait of all witlders of that the- company shold insist on the arbitrary enforcement of the tochuical rights, sndin this case under the acts of the masembly packed in the interest of corporations millionsire, Charles Crocker was firm.. The ‘farmers were for conciliation, but the railway com- pany had no soul and the prico they sinally demended was only a reduction of 12§ per cent. As good land as the settlers took up can now be purchased n their im- mediate vicinity for 50 cents per nore, under the desert land act, wi $1 additional per acre after the land §mproved. The settlers upou the railroad lands have spevt from $5 to $10 per acre in the work of irrigation. They have wiven five years hard work to this and other improvements. They found the lands parched by drought, a howling wilderness. This they have transformed into fertile wheat fields, and whero before white beans would not grow, many of them are this season raising their first successful waeat crop. Now the failroad company grade the land nt an average price of §1§ or $17 per acre, and will listen to nothing except n reduction of one-eighth from this price. This is only for ordinary farm- ing lands. All the choice property near Hanford is rated at much higher figures. When one considers the rough pioneer work these sottlers have done, #nd sees how ‘much they have added to the wealth of the country, he is forced to admit that they are entitled not to 25 par cent off the railroad xates, but toa reduction of one-half. ‘Thero is another phase of the affair which, however, serves in no sense as a palliation for the crime of oppres- #i>n on the part of the railway author- fties. It is said that the refusal of these officlals to effect a compromise is due to the efforts of several settlers on railroad lands in the vicinity of Hanford, who paid the graded rates at the time they took possession of their Iand. These men, it is asserted, have done all in their power to inflame the «quatrel between the railroad and the vettlers. dt-is hard emough to ‘be ground dows’ by 'a monopoly, but to have ne’s own neighbor turn upon you from miserly motives is monopolies AFTER THE bKIRMISH. The comments oféthe republican and independent press upon the % cago nominations are umlversal vorable. There has becamo crow eat- ing Mr. Garfigld was notaGandidate for the nomination or o the con- veption. and therefore, provoked no opposition, made no political enemies in his party avd created no antago- nisws. The nomination of Gewiral Garfield was a surprise as much to himself as to his party, But it was in every respect a pleaswnt aad agreeabls surprize, which bas united the party. ranks and given them new con- fidence for . the impending strug- gle.

The cheice of General Chester A. tunate, and one. as a scholar, Arthur, was no less f was a happy concession to the stelwart strengthof New York. It ensures (he polling of the entire republican vote of the Empire statean] the hearty co- operationof its leaters. Whatevermay have been the theorotical grounds of objection to General Arthur among certain members of tho party, his personal and political integrity is unquestioned. His administration of the New York custom house was able, energetic, and rerupulously hones Any differenco botween himself and the present naticnal administration arose simply from divergent views on matters of party expediency; not on questions of failure in official duty. It is pleasing to note that abr well g at home the Chicago nomiva- tions meet with the unqualified ap- proval of the best and mest thought- ful minds, aud it is still more gratify- ing to know that after the bitter and uncompromising conflict of candidates at the recent convention all cheerfully and earvestly unite in praise of the choice of the party standard bearers. ch uvity of sentiment bespeaks a shoulder-to-shoulder campaign, in which all formerly discordant elemen’s will join in supporting and carrylng to victory in November the names of Garfield and Archur. Tik war between the railroads for passengcr traffic shows no signs of abatement. There scems to be diffi- culties in the way of forming the pro- posed passenger pool which the trunk this year i the Rapid valley, but the ‘exops are looking well. “Another ditch company has been ofganized in Rapid valley, with a capital stock of $15,000.

There is now a good road from Sheridan to the new camp of Queen Bee, only seven miles long, built by an enterprising merchant of the latter place at bis own expense. It is now a good wagon road all the way, there be- ing no difficulty in moving heavily loaded wagons over it. Befora this road wae made passatle the only way live managers will find it herd to In the meantime the pub- lic is clamoring for increassd speed between the eastand west seabeard, and the gauntlet has been thrown down and taken up by several of the promiuent eastcrn lines. The Balti- more & Ohio and Pittsburg & Fort Wayno have added fast trains to their time table, aud the Lake Shore and Erie will be compelled to follow suit. The great objection made by the rail- road corporations to such fucresse of d is the consequent wear and tear s the road bed and rolling stock. The fact of the matter is that no road could maivtaia itself on the Atl ntic seaboard which carried its passengers on the elow-coach plau of the western trunk lines. The public demand bet- ter accommodations, and if they fail in obtaiving them from ono road they will givo their patronage to that line which is most fully abreast with the railroad progress of the age. overcome. Tuk selection of an Obio man to be the democratic standard bearer al- ready seems inevitable. The demo- cracy are to well aware of the stron, perzonal fullowing of Gen Garfield i his own state to neglect the claims of the several prominent buckeyes with- in its party lines. The belief is strong and still growing that Ex Con- gressman Payne, of Cleveland, is to be the maw, since ho is stated to “‘stand in” with Tilden and is regarded Uncle Sammy 'sfheir apparent. Gros- beck, of Cincinnati, also is named, but Payne with a bigger “‘bac’l” and Til- den's support is looked upon as the coming man at Cincinvati. The Itinois democrats in express a preference for Clarkeon N. Pottor still worss to be borne. But this Snstance in California is no great exception, for there have been few difficulties where the rights of hard working pecgle were at stake, when 3 few would not turn sgainst their fellows and take advantago of their plight to manufacture capital for themaélver. - SHIl all justice loving people will surely. hope to see the Talare settlers well treated, and their deacly bought homes secured to them P! reasonable gums, manifest a desire fo wage war on the second man in the ticket and make him fight Arthur in New York as Payve will Garfield in Ohio. But with such a ticket the republ bave vz to fear, but in any event with good men and noble principles the republicans ars suro of wivning against such a ticket. Tur echoes of the British press on the result at Chicago ars generally fa- vorable. Tho two ablest and most cautious of London wewspapers, the Pall Mall Gatte and the new St James Gazite ench predict that Gen, to reach Quecn Bee City from Sheri- dan was to goaround by Hill City and Tigerville, the distance by thatround- atout way being Bfwea miles, Rapid City will soon have a good system of water works in operation to be buiit by private capital. _The wa- ter will be brought four miles from Ulammoth spring and is ice cold and almost as soft as rain water. An en- giveer is now at work surveying out the line for the laying of iron water- pipes, which will be burted eo deeply that it will never be possible for the flow to be interrupted by extreme cold weather. The volume, the year round, will not fall short of eight hun- dred miners’ inches.

Jewett, president of the New York, Lake Erio and western railroad company; Mr, George D. Roberts, presid mt of the Pennsylvania Railroad company; Mr. John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Obio railroad com- pany, and Mr. W. K. Venderbilt, representing the New York Central ad Hulson River Railroad compauy, present. After the consideration and settlement of some minor questions, the meeting decided to “pool” the re- coipts of the trunk lines from compe. titive passenger business, east-bound and west-bound. The details of the pooling agreemont ranged by subordi was agreed to accept the business of 1878 25 the basis for the settlement of the percentages of the different roads. };hs.b pool is to take effect from Jnne 1. The acticn of the railroad pres dents was commented upon Jast by railtoad men as being very impor the railrosd managers, but apparently Little progress was mado toward i settloment. The attempt to interast thoe west railroads in the matter was finally abandoned, ss their representa- tives urged that the trunk lines should first successfully establish & pool among themselves before striving to extend its operations o all their onn- nections. If the present echeme is earried out it is believed taat it ubtimately lead to the adoption of general passenger pool as comprehen- ve in its extent ss the freight poo'. rond men admit, however, that there are almost innumerable obsta- cles in the way of a satisfactory passon- ger pool, by reason of the difference in the charactcr of the passenger bus ness from that of the freight fraftic.

The “‘scalpers” and ticket brokers will contest to the utmost the carrying out in good faith of the pooling scheme, and it has been proven in the past that thetr operations were connived at by some prominent raileoad managers for tho sake of sl ring in the profits obtained in their business at the expense of the roa Tt was impossible last night to obtain information regarding’the exact per- centage of each road under the new pool, qutit is said the percenta will be more nearly cqual ¢ in the freight pocl. The River and Harbor Bill. Globe-Demoerat. The average congressman always endeavors to do somotbiog for his constituents, for the reazon that what- ever labor he expends in_that behalf is really work for himself. Heis al- ways under the impression that his constituents need something from the goveromen, and he is always ready to accommodate other congressmen whose constituents are equally neces- sitous. The mest ready means by inates President Hayes' succestor con gratulates us upon a currency redeem- ed, credit strengthened, sgriculture, commerce, and manufactures flourish- ing. and_general pros ro-estab-. lished. ATl this bas b".'finw republican legislation and the firm prudent management of the fiuances by a republican administration. The praite of President Hayes s well bestowed. It is long since the atmosphero of the White House has boen %0 pure and the general tone of the executive branch of the govern— ment so dignified as during his term of oftics. ~ Able, honest, high-minded, patelotic, sincers, ho has kept not only himself but those around him fres from the breath of scandal. He bas administered his trust with an evident regard for the rights and the weltaro of all sections of the countey alike; and whenever the occasion has arisen, he has proved himself a sturdy defender of the principles of his party. A forcible arraignment is made of the democratic party for his habitual sacrifice of patriotism aud justice toits ivsatiable lust for office tronsge. The specifications under this_gemeral rge are severe, but no candid man can say they are not warrsnted by the conduct of that party during very recent years Its efforts to destroy the frecdom and purity «f the bsllof, to seat congressmen whom the people have refused to elect, to steal the en- tire state government in Maine, to block the whoels of the national government, to nullify national laws and to cultivate the spirit of the re bellion in order to solidify the south, make this plak in the platform as just and appropriate aa it s scathing. The clauses respectipg education, polygamy, Chinese immigration, eto., repeated from the platform of 1876, give fresh emphasia to the views which are we'l known to prevail among re- publicans. Upon no part of the plat- form bas thero been any dissension among the delegatos, or any occasion for compromise and shifty phrases. The republicans know just where they stand. Happy is tho party whigh has s0 litt'e to explain in its past, and so little need to promise new things for the future. Its acts have spoken for it. which congressmen have been able o maguify their impcrtance at home, has hitherto been a liberal clamor for an expenditure of public money for the osteutible bewetit of their own particalar districts. There is a cer- tain bill which comes ! congress at every session, which, by common_consent, has been inter- terpreted to meau a combined appesl on the part of individwal gentlemen holding seats in congress to themselves in the aggregate, to appropriate a cer- tain amount of money from the na- tional treasury in order to give them the standing at home which they crave. Every congressmen feels himself bound to do something for his constit- uvents —that is to say for himself— by getting an appropriation of public money to be expended in his district. Hence it is that while there isa fierce fight over certain small economies of the government, when it comes toa big steal in which every individual congressmen is about equally concern- ed, there 18 no difficully in pasing it. There twd® methods of bleed- ing the pational lreu“lr{l upon which congressmen ara generally united, for the reason that both of them, if suc- cesaful, are a cheap porchase of pe: sonal popularity. ~ Probably the chief measure which the average congres man has at heart is to get the United States to start a building somewhere in his district. That venture, how- ever, generally fals. He - generally succeeds in havirg his bill referrcd to the proper committee, and his cons'it uents are left to blame congress, stead of himeelf, for the cruel manner 1n which the committee sitsdown upon it. But there is a regulor appropri tion bill which congrees is always call- ed upon to consider, aud in this the average congreesman has another chance of tenefit-ing his constituents —that is, to say himself. i wade his prelimivary _effort to securc a public building in “his district, the average congressmsn falls bick on the river and harbor bill asa dernier . sort to give himaelf standing with _his ¢ netitu is year ho has plied bill as it passed the bouso beut £8,000,000, which is a las sum by §2,000,000 than was ever ap- propriatsd before for a similar pu pose. It is not a very large appropri- tion for the purpcse of riverand hur- bor improvements. It would not be difficalt to desiguate several points where the government could profitably expend that amount i the inferest of commerce. But the increased appropriation is nct founded on the wants <f commerce. It has grown solely from the mutual a'tempts of Congressmen to mako po- litical capital among their constitu ents. The great Misiesippi River has t | received no more consideration, thau say forty creeks which water the ra vines of the eastern and western elopes of the Alleghanies. For instance, there is 15,000 appropritated for the improvement of the Shenandoah—a river which can not be wade naviga- ble by an expenditure of §15 000,000. The river and harbor bill, howev went to the Senate, and its appropria tions were increased by $2,000,000 The Republicin Piatform. New York Tribume, It is a significant circumstauce |lm] in the midst of the excitement fover the procecdings of the Chicago con- vention, 8o little has been heard of conjecture or discussion as to the character of the platform. The con- vention had first to settle a question —we do not say of greater importance but of more immediate importance— than the formal declaration of the par- ty policy. The real point at issue in the preliminary trials of strength was whether #he convention 1d be a assemblage of tho authorized repre- sontatives of the republican masses, or a packed body composed of the agents of & few republican *‘bosses,” notori ously not in harmony with the voters. Untl this was settled it could not be affirmed that the convention had any title to speak for the republicau party Now that the true representative happily cstablished, we turn to the platform with the kaowledge that it the authoritative expression of the sentiments of the grcat body of re- would contain. The party is subsian- tially united on all the principal issues of the time. Its purposes are well defined. It has no blunders to apolo- ze for, no heresies to recant, no schisms to dread, no difliculties to evade by a farrago of words meant to darken counsel. It can turn back to its declarations published four vears ago, with the proud consciousness that it has bsen faithful to the pledges then made, thatevents have vindicated its wisdom, and that the vast gain which the couatry has made in prcs perity since President Hayes come office is traced directly to the financial policy of the republican party.

Wondertul iscoseriosin the world have boen made Among other things where Santa Claus stayed, Children oft ask if he makes goods or not, It really he lives in a mountain of snow. Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pole And suddenly dropped into what seemedike hole ‘Where wonder of wonders they found a new land, on each hand. irds with the hues of a rainbow were found, While flowers of exuisite fragrance were grow ing around. Not long were they left to wonder In doubt, ‘A being 8000 came the, had heard much about, ‘Twas Santa Claus’ seif and thisthey all say, Ho laoked like the picturev _esee every day. He droveu But be took them on bowrd and drove them v them all uver his wonderfal reaim, factories making z0ods for women and men, Furrlers were working on hats great and smalj y ivves we aro sending 1o Bunce, Santa showed them suspendess and marly things mcre. Baying 1 alse took thess to friénd Bunce's store. Santa Claus then whispered a secret be'd tell, As in Omaha every one knew Bunce well, He therefore shouid send his goods to bis care, Knowing his {riends will get their full share. Now remember ye dwellers in Omaba 'All who want presents to Punce’s go round, ¥or shirts, collars, or gioves great and amall, Send your sister or aunt one and all.

Caution, A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE POROUS PLASTERS, It Is a universally ackowledged fact that BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. ’ The great demand for them has caused a number of unscrupu- lous parties to make and eell worthless imitations under similar sounding names. As the market is flooded with inferior plas- ters selling at any price it is important for the consumer to koow Which is the best. It is well known that some of the cheap plasters have been examined and found to contain in- jurious ingredients which make them dangerous to use, causing paralysis and other diseases.
