THE SCHOOL LAND Tand Commissioner Kendall has had himself intervlewed by the Lincoln .Jour. nal, which is the defender and champion ce=ning the alleged school land frauds in Keith county. Kendall's version vindi catea the lind department and places the entire blame upon *‘a ganglot spsculators whose n1ses were putout of joint by the promptness of the action of the commie sioner in ordering a new appraiscment of wchool lands in Keith county. According to Mr, Kandall the brard | of public works and buildings decided to loaso tho lands in Keith county last May and the olerk of Keith county was duly notified to have them appraised. O athe 20th of June thin county clerk notified Kondall that one of the appraisers, under improper influences, had retained the list to prevent the disposal of the lands. Thereupon a new list was forwarded and the clerk ordered to appoint & new set of appraisers, Mr, Kendall also entered a virtuous protest against the crooked methods of the first appraisers by a solemn declara- tion that “this department will not coun- tenanoe any improper influence in the matter of appraisal or disposition of school lands, and will expect your in- fluence and tho assistance of county offi- cers in protecting the state from such.” When Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage, the blind patriarch exclaimed the voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hand is the hand of Esu. Glen Kendall, in the role of an honest man is a little too mush for the most credulovs, Had the head of the depart ment of public lands and buillings been & man of charactor snd intcgrity this special in- junction against improper influence wouldhave cleared his skirts But Mr. Kendall protests altogother tco much. Why has hia voice never been raised against land apeculators in his own office and under the shadow of the state capitol. How comes it that he has never interfered with the land sharks down in Lincoln who have cleared all the way from $5,000 to $10,000 each out of achool land trans- fors during the past eighteen menths. How comes it that Glen Kendall himself, ingly. Nenraska is safe for Blaine and Logan in apite of Howe.—Beatrioe Frpress.

No var very little interest is mani- festod among republicans in the prim- eries that come off Friday afternoon. This seeming indifference is readily ac- counted for, Our primaries have be- come a mere farce. They do not voice the will of the party and are in no sense an expression of ita untram- melled sentiment. Onauies Frawos Apays is very hopoful that the Union Pacific will again be able to pay dividends this fall out of the tolls from Nobraska crops, This is very consoling to the holders of the watered atook but will hardly be keeping faith with the gov- ornment, which was to have the sur- plus oarnings uatil the intercst on the bonded debt is paid off.

In the citios Blaine is the favorite candidate of the demooratio workingmen and anti- monopolists, snd several hundred Blaine and Logan clubs, whose membership conaists ol :aen who have hitherto voted the dem-oratic ticket, have been formed throughout the state. In Utics, Buflalo, Troy, Syracuse, Albany, Ogdensburg and Rochester, Blaine will receive soveral thousand demooratic votes, T —— I7is an all wind that blows nobody good. One curious offect of the cholers ecare in Franco has been s marked de- crease of drunkeness in Paris. Daring the month of June the average number of daily taken up by the police for being “‘drunk and incapable” was 170, On the Lst of July it declived to 104 and on the 12th it had fallen a8 low as 64 -the smallest number on weoord since the police regulations on the a:jnt of stroet drunkonness have come force. ‘The day of the national fete m“_” were reported; but the in 1883, Kowa would prove the enforoement of prohibition. who hardly had & rag on his back which he could call his own, when he came into oflice has amassed a snug fortune within less than four years on a salary of $2,000 a year! But we digress. According to Mr. Ken- dall, the grounds upon which the Keith county injunction suit is brought is bazs- less, because Attorney Ceneral Powershas rendered an opinion that the lands ap- praised at loss than $7.00 an acre need not be offered for sale bofore leasing, and as the Keith county lands are only ap- praised at twent-five conts an acro they could bo leased without that formallty. Here is the milk in the cocoanut. Ken- dall, smuggled a law through the legisla- ture that can be interpreted to suit the land grabbers, and then they fortify themselves by an opinion from }he at- torney general. Lands thatare worth twenty dollars an acre are appraised at fifty cents an acre, and being so ap- praised they need not be offered for sale. Six per cent on an appraisement at half a dollar an acre would cost three dollars ayear for 100 acres, or $30 a year for 1,000 acres and no taxes. There is millions in it* A man with very small capital can do a land office business. How does this honest land commissioner regard such appraisements? Was it in the interest of the atate that landsin Keith county, which are report- ed to be worth three dollars an acre, should be leased on an appraisement for twonty-five cpnts per acre? Six per cent on twenty-five cents an acre and no taxes! “There is one thing which does not scera to be kept in mind,” said Mr, Kendall, “‘and that is that the school lands are re-appraised every fivo years, It is accordingly better to appraise them ata reasonable rate and get them under loaso than to appraise them too high aud got no income from them.” What does Kondall understand by a reasonablo appraisement! Doesnot every school-boy in Lincoln know that when the bars were let down by alloming ap- praisements at any price, a high premium was offered for wholesale perjury and fraud? What do the land sharks care about reappraisement five years hence? They dont intend to hold the lands five years, They simply sell out on a bonus and the parties that purchase these leases are put on the track to secure low appraise- ments the next time, Meantime the state has been systematically swindled and mil- lions of acres have passed out of its oon- trol for twenty-five years at a mere song, It will take a great many interviews in the Lincoln organ of the *‘forty thieves” to explain away and justify those school land frauds. — IMPROVE THE HIGH SCHOOL GROUNDS.

The high school grounds ars always the firat place viowed by visitors to Omaha, whether they are tonrists, excursionists | or business men seeking a now home | went of the Missouri. For our own peo- ple these grounds afford all the combined advantages of a public square and park. The proper and most economic thing for the board ot education to do is to em- ploy a first- class landscape architect and |1ot him draw plans that combine and | group the natura!l with the artificial, and lay out the grounds into a beautiful land- scape. * It will not be necesasry to complete this work in one year, but every improve- ment of the grounds from now on should o made to conform to the plans adopted. The first step in the direction of perma- noncy should be the construction of asub- stantial stone wall to protect the sur- rounding embankment, Thematerial for fhis the wall, should not be limestone. The dismal failure ot the south wall has taught a wholesomo lesson. That wall will require a new sandstone oap that can woather storms and sun- shine. All projects of wooden coping iron fencing or fencing of any kind above the wall should be dropped as a useless wasto of money. Omaha is no longera osw pnasture. Cattle are no longer permitted to run at large, and foncos around public grounds are un- sightly-ovon when they are ornamental. Viewed purely from the stand point of economy, there 1s no saving in wooden coping, and wooden walks. It wil be decidedly cheaper in the end to use dur- able materials, Whatever is done should be well done, and not another dollar should be spent without plans from a competent landscape architoot.

The excitement caused by the discov- ery of the ‘‘Texas fover” in a fow cattle ranges in Nobraska and K wnsas has prao- tically subsided. The prompt action of the governors of both states sombined with the railroads and stock associations effectually quarantined the infected cat- tle, preventing the diseass becom- ing general and necessarily disastrous to stockmen. In no instance has the ef- ficiency of unity amoag stockmen been shown as in this, Like one man the sev- eral associations took hold of the infact. ed oattle and either slaughtered them or put them out of reach of healthy herds, waraed everybody of the trails likely to sproad the disease, and took every pos- sible precaution to contine the contagion to the cattle in whom it was first discov- ered, Tho railroad companies seconded every eff)rt of the stockmen, disinfected all cara likely to spread the disease and carefully examined all atock offsred for shipment, as an additional precaution. The total number of cattle lost by the diseaso is estimated at 1000, of which 175 sucoumbed at Ogallala, The foed- ing stations at all important shipping pointson the raileoals hive been re- moved a considerablo distance from for- mer looations and the latter thoroughly disinfocted. Fortunately the disease did not extend into either Wyoming or C)lorado, Thos. Sturgis, secrotary of the Wyoming Stock (icowers association, claims the disease was first introduced at Mixwell, Neb., last May, by a bunch of cattle bslonging to Rankin & Co. These cattle had been shipped from Texas, and were herded in the neighborhood of Maxwell, but were afterward driven to the range of Renkin & Co, on the Middle Lroup The land on which these cattle had been herded was afterward fonced in by the owner, who turned his own herd loose there, The result is that his cattle have becomy thoroughly impregnatea with the fever, and most if not all of them will die. man named Searls owned a bunch of about sixty-five. Of his number forty are already dead. The diseass, is not bred in of the disease remain latent in the systems of extreme southern Texas cattle, likemalaria in the systems of acclimated Mississippi valley men, A stranger goes to that region and is immediately seriously affooted with malaria, while tha resident to whom disease may have been transmitted goes: along apparently unaffected. Ia a sense this us trae of Lexas fever, The Texas cattle are apparently 1n a good atate of health, but the fcrm of the disease is in them, and native cattle following the same trail, and more es) oampi on or near the bedding grou ouupl: by the affected Texas atock, are liable to contract the disease. When they do so they usually die, but native cattle thus affoctod cannot commuaicate the disease to other stock. the priae of Omaha, not only becauss it is one of the most magnificent school buildings in America,but because its loca- tion makesit the most prominent structure in the city and the surrounding grounds on Capitol hill are a thing of beauty and a joy forever. The grading of Twentieth stroet, which will s70n be completed, between Dodge aud Davenport streets, will very materi- ally improve the approaches to our High school grounds. An opportunity to put these grounds in presentable shape is now afforded which the school board should by all means improve, For obvious reasons this work should be done without delay, Unless the high em bankment is graded downand walled it will endanger the lives and limbs of #care in Kwnses snd | the school attendants, Now, we do not invaluable i aiding { believe in doing things by halves. We do uot believe in Oheap John economy The cattle shipping season, which re. coived a temporary set back by the Texas fever scare, is again under full head. The Union Iaclfic railroad company has made a reduction of five cents on last yoar's rates to Omaha and Chicago on all oattle shipped at any station between Og- den and North Platte. The c>mpany far- ther agreos to permit theshipper to sell his stock at Onsha and Council Bluffs if he wishes; il not sold to parmit him to bill his stork from either of those points to Chicago over any line he may select, without unfavorable discrimination on the part of the Union Pacifie. If the stock are sold the Union Pacific agrees to reloase them, and if in this case a line of road is selected over which they do not ‘through” rate, they agree to ac- ::uld have received had the stock been billed to Ohicago. “This liberal arrangement,” says a cir- the proportion the Union Pacifio |a cular isued by the Wyoming stock grow- | ers’ asseciatian, ‘“‘voluntarily made by the Union Patific, represen’s a_valuable ooncension to the atockmen of Wyoming | | and Nebraska, and especially tothe mem- | bera of this sssociation, and should m: appreciated by them, It indicates in the strongest m the intention of the Union Pacific railway to moet the noeds and wishes of our members, and exprosses their sense of the valus and importance of the vast consolidated in- terests wa reprosent.’ Advioos from well known stock men at | Ogalalla, North Platte and along the | Union Pacifio, indicate an unprecedent- od general drive to the ranges north and | weat of the Black Hills, says the Dead- wood Zimes. At lonst 40,000 head pass. ed Ogalalia week before last, nearly all under contract to parties well khown in that vicinity. The principal herd be- longed to the Continental cattle compa- ny and numbered 20,000 head. Last week, in all probability, hrought as many more, and an equal number will cross the track this week inclading 9,000 head for the recently organized Vermont oat- tle company. Tha immense corn crop which Nebras- ku farmers will harvest the coming fall is looked upon by western stock men as a providential boon for their special ben- efit. It is calzulated that the harvest, being very favorable throughout ths country, will reduce thy price of corn somewhat, and make it very profitable when fod to stock. [tis estimated that during the coming winter 25,000 head of cattle in Wyoming, Nebraska and Colo- rado can be fed from this present crop. It will be cheap, and stock men the re- gion can drive such cattle as they desire to fatten to this state and there feed them for the winter markot. This corn wulve ensily and cheaply obtained and the cat- tle thereby fattoned ot small cost for the wiater market. [t will be beneficial alike to the stockmen and farmers, giving the tiller a home market and the profits which usually go to elevator middlemen. Bring on your steers. Tho story of Wyoming tertitory, as told by the asseasmoant roll, is one of the most gratifying exhibits of growth and prosperity in western annals. A territo- ry yet in her teens, with thousands of acres of land unoccupied, with undevel- oped mineral deposits, which in variety and extent, are unequalled by auy of her neighbors, and with a number of infant industries springing up in the large towns, place Wyoming in the front rank of prosperous territories. The great and only drawback heretofore has been the lack of trausportation facilities, particu- warly a northern road. With this latter now assured, the future of the territory is brighter than ever.

Woe dislike to break in upon Me, Wil liam Walter Phelps’ vacaticn, but we be- lieve that rather more than 44,000,000 of his countrymen would like to hear his ex« flanation «f the discrepancy. He has given somo attention to the matter, we think for in a letter to The Evening Post on April 23, M. Paelps said: **Mulli- gan's memorandum of the letters, in which he had numbered and indesed each one of them, was produced, and number and index corresponded exactly with the letters read. This wes fully demonstrated on the floor of the house aud is a part of the record.’ Yet Mr. Phelps was substantially right and the Times has been led into a false position by carelessness hardly less ex- cusable than deliberate dishonesty. The discrepancies which it dotects are super- fisial. A careful analysis of the two lists would have shown our republican contemporary that it had no ground for this yfave charge which it brings againat the republican candidate. The arrange- ment of the letters in the Record is somewhat confused. Mr. Blaine read peopled with the best of all states and nations, furnish a apinal column for the metropolis of the Missouri valley superior to the arid plains and mineral wealth of Colorado. Tho Hastings Democrat charges, with a showing of evidence, that the B. & M. railroad company and the merchents of Omaha and Lincoln have pooled to pre vont the establishment of wholesale hou- ses in Hastings. The charge of diecrim- ination is not a new one, but o far as tho merchants are concerned it is with- out foundation. It has always bean the policy of railroads, and will doubtloss continue to bs, to make terminal points distributing points, i ¢., to concentrate wholesale houses at such points as will give better facilities for the transfer of woods and secure the beneit of long bauls. Tho case cited by the Democrat is as follows: “Me T. S, McGes, of Towa City, Towa wak tn the city two or threo days this week for tho purposs of establishing a wholesals erocery houss at this point, Arrangements had besn made whereby he could secure two rooms in the stone block, and it wss his tention to fill them with goods. After ing that there was not another point in the state that needad a . inatitut on of this kind moro than Hastings, wo have all tho advan tages hern for making an enterprise of this kind » success, Mc M.(iee went to the B, & M. R. R.company at Omaha aund informed them of what he intended w0 do and asked them what they could do in the way of rates. Much to his surprise they informed him that they ¢ould give him no special rates, and at the sams time adyised him to go to Liacola The figures of the assessor shows that there are in the territory (48,988 head ot ostile, 44,275 horses, 357,381 sheep and goate, 1,628 mules and 1,372 hogs, a to- tal of 1,153,644 head.

The citizens of Laramie are always on thesalert to cleich every opportunity éal- culated to advance the interost of the town and surrounding country. Since the closing of the Union Pacific rolling mills and the stoppsge of work on the soda works, the town lost considerable of the vim which had characterized it. | 80 when Chas. Francis Adams and other Union Pacitic offisials passed through there last week a delegation of promin- ent citizins pounced upon them and se- cuared an hour’s talk on mattara pertain- ing to the general welfare of Laramie and the territory, Mr. Adams stated among other things, that the company had ehut down on all extensions of roads for the present, butthat the company would meet the people half way in the matter of concessions and inducements to build up industries along the line of the road, and thus while helping the community, in- crease the business of the road. The day for rolling iron rails had passed and that portion of the rolling mills must be abandoned, bat the company proposed to either opperate the bar mills and increase the facilties for the manufactuce of mer- chant iron, or Jease the mill to parties who would put thom in operation. The building of the soda works was an experi- ment, and as soon as the works wers completed they would be leased to other arties. In regard to other proposed industries Mr. Adams promised that the company would give every reasonable inducement in the matter of rates to make them sucoessful and help baild up “Be Just to Blaine,” I'rom the New York £un. We desire that fall and exact justice shall be done to Mr. Blaine 1n the 1ves- tigation of his variegated career in pub- lic life. He has enough to explain and enough to answer for as the cage stands. No candid person will countenance any attempt to make the republican candi date seem worse than he is by misrep- resentation of the record by disingenious inferences from distorted facts or by headlong, blundering logic. In the New York Times of Monday last there appeared a leading editorial article entitled ‘‘The missing Mulligan letters.” When Mr, Blaine took from Mulligan the letters which were after- ward read by the hard-pressed statesman in the house of reoresentatives, he took also a memorandum which Mulligan had made of the dates of the letters in a package with a synopsis of their con- tents. This schedule called for fifteen letters or, to be exact, fourteen lettors and one paper entered as ‘* contract wich Northern f’ncific. " The Congreesional Rocord for June 5, 1870, shows that Me. Blaine read just fifteen lotters on tha tloor of the house. He said at the time: “Thank God Almigh'y, [ am not sfraid to show them. Tnere they are. There ia the very original package.” Acain, just bofore sending to the clerk Me. Mul- ligan's memorandum, he said: ‘I have now read those fifteen letters, the wholo of them, I'he house and the country now knows all there is in them. They are dated, and they corrospond precisely with Mulligan’s memorandum which L have hera. I keep this momorandum as a protection to myself, for it is very val- uable as showing the identity of the lat- ters in every rei pect.” Did Mr. Biaine, in fact, read the let- ters, and all of the letters, which he had taken from Mulligan, or did he supprecs sume of the more dimagig documents the town and the railroad's businoes There would bono discrimination and equitable freight rates would be given to all. The interview seomed to give goneral faction and the Laramieites will now put their shoulaers to the wheels of progress. Denver claims a population of 75,000, in tho budget, supplyivg their places with comparatively innocuous epistles in order to kesp the tally right! It is need- less to say that thisis a very important question. The Times endeavors to establish the facts that the fitteen letters submitted to the house by Mr Blaine, with so many protessions of candor and unreserve, were according to the Zribune, She claims to be a railroad center from the fact that fifty-two passenger trains arrive and de. part froru the city daily, A bunch of $200,000 bonds were recently huckstered in the financial marts of the country without a taker until the interest rate was raised two per cent, The trackago in the state has grown from nothing four- toen years ago to 3,087 miles, The Un- ion Pacific employes withia the limits of state, 3,233 men, with an average month- ly pay-roll of $141,000. T he Burlington employs 121 men and its pay-roll for the yoar was $86,000, The pay-roll of the Rio Grande shops in this city last year amounted to $16(,000, while the pay of the clerks aud trainman of the line ran up to §336,600.

The Times finds that four letters called for by the memoran- dum were not read by Blaine, while he aid read four letters that were not in- cludea in the memorandum, It asks: Where were the letters called for by the following entries in Mulligan's mem- orandum?

These ducrepancis ara obviously the result of irifling clerical errers on his part mn tran- toribing tho dates. “I'hia dwposes of one of the four letters which the Times think were suppressed by Bluine. The second in its list is Nu nber 5 of the memorandum: **Sept. 5. '69, contract with ditfsrent parties This was omitted by Blaine because it | was written by Fister Jto him, not by hun to Fisher, The Times will find it printed on page 3,600 of volume 4, part 4 of 1the Record as ‘‘exhibit K.” The third document supposed to have been suppressed by Blaine is the ‘‘contract with the Northern Pacific” of the mem- orandum. TheTimes will find the miss- ing paper on page 3,608 of the same vol- ume of the Rucord marked “‘exhibit J.” The fourth of the *‘suppressed” letters was that of Ocrober 20, 1871. It was not one of Blaine’s letter. It was writ- ten by Mr. Fisher, and Blaine explained at the time that he failed to find it in the package. We do not think that anybady who has followed our analysis of the lists will doubt the truths of his assertion. Mr. Blaine read three letters which were not included in the index. The dates are April 22, April 26, and July 3, 1872. For some reason Mulligan has failed to note their existence in the list which he prepared for his convenience on the witness stand, Blaine certainly gained no advantage by confiding their sontents to the public. = As they merely added evidence of his connection with raitroad speculations, and, as they really were not needed to fill out the number called for by the accompanying memo- randum, their production by Mr. Bliine seems to us to strengthen the presump tion that he went straight through the package wrested from Milligan in the fa- mous interview of May 31, 1876, at the Rigge house. Lot us have all the truth about Blaine, but let Blaine have tho benetit of strict and impartial juatico in the development of the case agaiast him. We do not ba- lieve that the Times iatentionally mis- represented the case. It was hurried to conclusions without verifying its facts. bus ks L, New York Herald, The Concord schcl of progressive philosophers has closed for the season, snd, as our correspoudent intimates, probably forever. It was moro eutirely dependent on the octogenerian Mr. Amos Bronson Alcott than was generally suvposed, and his place can hardly e tilled by long haired spiritualists of either sex. The discussion of Emerson disclosed more about the personality of the speak- era than that of the lofty “subject which they failed to comprehend,” When it came to ‘‘Immortality” the philosophers found themselves immersed in *‘a sea of troubles,” from which recourse to Sweden: | . borgand other lesser lights in Spiritualism failed to guide them.
