ALMA NEWS. Nebraska a Wheat as Well as a Corn and Stock-Raising State. Some Logical Reasons Why This is a Good Wheat- Growing State. An Attempt Being Made to Steal the Connty Seat From Alma--A Sharp Campaign Anticipated Correspondence of The Bec Arma, September 30.—The promi- nence of the DaiLy Ber over other Omaha daily papers in the Republican valley, and far beyond that of the State Journal as a metropolitan news- gatherer and distributor, has caused inquiry for it of late more than ever before. Some peoplo profess to have the idea that carries water on both shoulders: but for all that like his vim, his fearless- ness, his independence, his war upon corporations and monopolies, and en- joy all his encounters and rencounters with the giants as well as pigmies, no matter whence they come or whither they vo. And one thing is as plain as the nose on a man's face—i. e., the people like the man or newspaper of whom ‘it can be said he is not handi- capped by any ring, clique or cabal that hangs about and lives upon the state house of a state, that runs this or that corporation, or that ‘‘runs with the machine” in the metropoli- tan and commercial city, with its dig- its or antlers reaching out into all the counties of the commonwealth. The independence of a newspaper with some eaitors consistsin its being a close corporation and doing all that it can to toady to power, whether in corporations known as banks, rail- roads, or pclitical and official rings, state or national. Such editors or I)ublillmn of newspapers may be ooked for only in une place, in some one's pocket, a feb pocket, or the trowsers’ pocket, and there is nothing enigmatical in this assertion. Nor is it of doubtful disputation. The power to do good or evil of the public press is mnot mnecessary to enlarge u; That is understood and conceded by everybody. What the country wants, what public honor requires, what the spirit of the age demands, is an honest, outspoken, in- dependent, noble, fearless press. In our local matters ‘‘Live Oak” has been criticised in regard to his views of the wheat productiveness of this country. We are right, our «<ritics are wrong. It is a serious mis- take to assert that Nebraska is only a «<orn and stock growing state. It is not only both of these on as great a acale as the farmer pleases, but as a amall grain and wheat growing state, with proper culture and theright time of seeding, the day is not far distant, in my opinion, when it will not be surpassed even by the state of Califor- nia. This is a very broad and strong assertion, but we think we know whereof we affirm, Why? Because this valley and these divides containa better soil than California, and when the farmer learns the time to plant and to sow, and cultivates soil as it ought to be cultivated, then his reward will be the abundant harvest. The climatio relations here are very peouliar, but when under- stood and profited by with deep plow- ing, helu:]owing or summer fallowing, drill seeding and heavy rolling (an im- portative necessity usually in & wind; country) then crops will be raised. Superficial farming never yet raised crops 1n any country. The seasons must be watched, the rains must be taken advantage of, and all specula. tion and theoretical experimentalism give place to good old-fashioned solid ‘arming, and when that is done this country will raise wheat, rye, barley, hogs and hominy—corn, cattle, sheep and poultry unsurpassed by any other. ‘This year has developed the assurance that good farming will raise wheat and rye very hard to beat any where. Ve can name a number of farmer in Harlan, Kearney, Phelps and Furnas counties who have raised 20 bushels of wheat and from 30 to 85 bushels of tosewater sometimes road route, and the time by four hours of the fast trains on western roads, In our county matters we are to have one of the sharpest campaigns ever known in the history of this county. An extraordinary attempt is being made to steal the county seat from Alma by stealing all the county officers and then get them to steal the county records and get them to re- move them to Orleans. Instead of complying with the provisions of law under the statute, requicing three-fifths of all voters of a county to remove its county seat. Trickery, bribery, fraud are being resorted to under the cunning workmanship of a Unites States land oftice official, but the peo- ple of the county will stamp it out and bury it and all its manipulations 80 deep on the 8th day of November next that their ! will be no_resurrection of either. For six years this town has had to watch and contend against a band of despe- radoes in this matter, and so far has done 8o successfully, even for four of these six years with only three wooden buildings and a mud blacksmith ghop, id now with her hundred dwellings and business houses, and others con- stantly building, it is amazing how these men can hope cver to succeed in their nefarious work. It is alleged that the B. & M. railroad corporation and some of its officials are in it, but we cannot credit If 8o, however, we shall soon know it, and then some fur will fly in this county. We would like to know if we have got to be pun- ished because we refused to vote bonds, and the sooner we know it the better. Yeurs truly, Lave Oax. The Divisionof California. Sacramento, Cal., Union, Sept, 16, The attempt to persuade the people of Southern California that they do not want local self-government by showing them that it will cost $400,- 000 per annum will probably fail un- less it can at the same time be shown that a local state government is not worth that sum per year. The real issue appears to lie dooper than thisqueation of cost in dollars and cents. If the ex- isting state government denies to the people of the southern portion of the state advantages attainable under a separate state government, then the entire commonwealth is interested in the establishment of the new state. That state government best calculated to develop the resources, confer the greatest wealth, and establish the highest civilization in Southern Cali- fornia is the government to which the people of that section arc justly en- titled. Such a state govern:aent might be chea, at $400,000, or almost any other sum, per an- num. The question, ‘when seriousl, considered, is one chiefly of fact. lyf the existing state government does not perform for the people of southern CnliE)rnin all the legitimate functions of government, or it their continued annexation to the body of the state denies to them any element of pro- gress, then the highest interests of both sections will be subserved by a separation. We have not been fortu- nate enough to meet with any adequate showing upon these questions of fact. We do not understand the nature of the complaint made against the existing State government. We cannot, therefore, determine whether the matters complained of are sus- ceptible of being remedfed. Of one thing we feel perfectly assured: If the laws of the State act unequally upon the people of any section; if the state government has withheld from any section the exercise of any rights ac- corded'to other sections; if the state has fostered the development of one section and obstructed the growth of any other, a clear showing of teh facts would secure an immediate remedy for any and all such instances of wrong or injustice. The question of dividmg the state may not be regard- ed as of serious import, but its agita- tion proves the existence of either a real or fancied grievance, and in ei- ther case it deserves candid and seri- ous consideration. ‘The Corporationsin Politios. York (Neb.) Times. The contest has always been be- tween the U. P, and the B. & M. for political supremacy, without any re- gard for the requirements of the peo- ple. Shall the \J P, have the United tates senator or shall the B. & M.? Which of the great roads shall appoint our legislative committees? 'hese have been the questions which, from session to session, come before our rye per acre this year, and we know some corn that will go 76 bushels per acre. And when all our farmers m- come practically good farmers, like above referred to, we think it willnot be reasserted that this is only a ‘‘corn and hog state.” Of course some years may be not as good as others—all counties are subject to drouths and the vicissitudes of climatic influences, but taking one year with another this atate for all agricultural purposes is not to be su: ed by any other west- ern atate, and we know that this is a better and far easier soil to work than that of Indiana or Illinois, and the groater part of Missouri and Iowa, Mark our word for it, people may say and write what they please, but tnis valley and what is called ‘‘the great American desert” will yet blossom as the rose, and become one of the fincst wheat fields of this continent, Woe are greatly rejoiced at the evi- dences daily before our eyes of heav- ily laden western-bound trains groan- ing with iron, ties, timbers, etc., for the speediest completion of the Re- gubliun Valley extension of the great . B. & Q. through to Denver, and believe it will be completed and in running order by July 1st, next. The distance from Alma to Denver is 206 +miles, The road is now finished to Culburtson, in town 3, range 31, west of Gth p. m.. and as the road runs, 86 milos west of us, so that only about 210 miles of road or thereabouts, remains to be built between Culburt- son and Denver. Messrs, Reynolds & Co., are now under contract to fin- ish 100 miles from theeast line of Hitcheock county in this state, toa point 39§ miles in the state of Calor- orado in 110 days, and itwill be done. ‘This leaves but 110 miles to Denver, and it is understood that it will be worked at both ends aud inthe mid- dle, s0 a to finished by July 1, 1882, This consum- ination devoutly to be wished for by all Nebraskians, will make this one of the great thoroughfares between tho two objective points, Chicago and Denver, reducing the distance to full; 100 miles shorter than any other rail- state legislature. It has never been admitted or even intimated, until the last session, that the people had any interest or should have any voice in the politics of the state, ’I"I’m farmers and dealors were to railvoad magnates mere machines, whose function' it was to raise the grain and haye it ready in proper time for them to “transport, and to whom they would allow just as much as was absolutely necessany to maintain life, and keep them from leaving the coun- try. The question in re nrf to freight with them, has been: How much will the country stand? And not, as in all other branches, how much is the labor of transportation worth? It is not our desire or intention to crush or do injustice to any interest. We need the railroads. 1f they had not been a necessity, the peoplo would not have furnished lnnrfu and money enough to build and equip them, but now after this great outlay, by the people, is it right or just that they should be deprived of the benefits which they expected, and paid so dearly for?’ But we have heard men who ought to know better say, “If you don’t want to ut{oniu ; thfm you can go on oot, or haul on wagons as you did before they were builtt Thiy s ‘“‘the most unkindest cut of all Have we not paid the railtoad com- panies millions 8f dollars for land which cost them nothing, and which the people could have had nothing? And are we ontitled to any return for this? Are we not now groaning under the tlold lul millionl:0 of dollars of county and precinet bonds, that these railroads might be built! And should we derive no possible benefit from this? Dare you say that the railroad companies have a right to exaot freights that render the road useless to the people, and then cooly turn to them and say, ‘‘Your land ‘that was donated avails you nothing, your bond nothing, your money that you gave us was simply thrown away; if ou don't want to pay our price go on oot, or haul your grain to market as though our roads were never built!” " GENERAL NEWS.

National Associated Press. Cuicaco, October 1.—Mr. J. N, McCullough, vice-president of the Pennsylvania company, has no hopes that the present war between eastern roads wiil come to a speedy termina- tion. He thinks the war will continue untif after the close of navigation and unless Mr. Vanderbilt becomes more tractible. by that time it may las throughout the winter, more amicable feeling between the various eastern roads, but owing to Vanderbilt’s refusal to enter into any negotiations unless other roads make an unconditional surrender nothing has been accomplished. As far as the Pennsylvania road was concerned it had no concessions to make, not having commenced the fight and tak- ing nothing but what it is justly en- titled to. ‘This¥ight is telling heavi- ly upon the eastern roads, and in apito of largely increased business they are losing money. — e Secretary Windom to Resign.
