B. I, Butler, in Salem Sunbeam, Maink has played her trump card, and now lat Ohio follow suit. The railroads are out of politics, and J. Sterling Morton s “‘out” with the railroads. W didn't know St. John had so many friends in Nebraska. In Merrick county they are runaing a St. John county tick- ot. THERE is one man who eays that the people of Nebraska have not lost a cent by the fraudulent leases of school lands. His name is Bill Stout. 1f the democtats want to elect the next governor they must nominate a candi- date who has no explanations to to make concerning his former relations with the railroads. Youxa Corneel Vanderbilt, the tavor- ite son of W. H. Vanderbilt, has dropped in Wall street the $5,000,000 left him by his grandfather, the commodore. This may explain why William H. sold Maud S. GENERAL VIFQUAIN has the documents in hand to prove that J. Sterling Morwon is 8 good anti-monopolist. DBut all the documents he can pile up will utterly fail to convince anti menopoly republi- cans in the light of Mr. Morton's former intimate relations to the Burlington and Quincy railroad. " Tue New York car-drivers are a unit for Blaine and Logan. They are 7,000 strong, and their desertion of Cleveland on account of his refusing to sign the car-drivers’ bill, will make a big hole in the ranks of the demosracy. The car-drivera’ association is only one of many labor or- ganizations that have declared for Blaine and Logan, and the indications now are that the republican ticket will receive a handsome majority in the Empire state. The attention of Governor Dawes, Sec- retary Roggen and other members of the board of public lands is called to the articles which we reproduce from the old files of the Bee. ' We are not endowed with the gift of prophesy, but when they read these articles they will concede that the 'state was forwarned more than two years ago by the Brk regarding the iney- itable losses that would be sustained by our people it the organized land ring un- der Kendall was allowed to carry out its nefarious scheemes. Carraiy Many M ik and the women gonerally of this country will over cher- ish the memory of the late Secretary Folger. He it was who overruled the opinion of the solicitor of the treasury denying to Mrs. Miller a steamboat cap- tain's license. Judge Folger declared that the law of the United States should not be construed in any way to deprive a woman of an opportunity to earn an hon- orable livelihood in any capacity for which she was adapted, if she conformed to the usual lists imposed by statute, —_— MAaINE comes to the front with from 12,000 to 16,000 republican majority, The returns show slight republican gains in every sectlon of the state. The re- publicans elect a governor, four congress- men and the legislature. Maine has done nobly, and if the other republican states that vote before November do as well, James G. Blaine will be elected president on the 4th of November by an overwhelming majority. The glorious result in Mr. Blaine's own state will undoubtedly have an enthusiastic effect among republicans all over the country, and the old adage, ‘‘As goes Maine so goes the unlon,” is_very likely to prove true in this campai n. Tue New York Star, John Kelly's paper, says that the Chicago convention invited defeat when it nominatod Oleve- land ona platform of falsehoods and feebleness, and what has followed is the natural result of repudiating principles and services in fav or of policy and avail- ability. This coming from the Tammany organ does not look very much as if Kelly had become raconciled to Cleve land, and it is rather a significant fact the final action of that organizatior which was to have taken place last Fri- day, was postponed for another week, Butler has many strong friends in Tam- | BA80)! yerhap | for reasor.s perhaps NIO ror I'or BRARA, A largo appropriation by congress wes | NO MONLY made by its Iast seasion for the improve- of frontiex forts west of the N souri river. 1% was naturally expected | that the Nebraska frontior forts get their share of this appropriation, but, heat known fo the war department, of £100,000 was se¢ apart for Fort Russell, Wyoming, rt Niobrara.

In roply, 1 am directed by the secre- tary of war to state that tho matter has roceived his careful attention and to in- vite attentlon to the views of the licuten- ant-general, as expressed in the enclosed copy of a roport, dated the 10th ultimo. I am also directed by the secretary to advise you that after consultation with the lieutenant-general and in accordance with their viows as to the probable future demands upon the army and the proper positions of military posts, it has seemed to them both necessary and proper to make the expenditures referred to by you for Fort Russell.

The State Anti-monopoly Convention now in session at Lincoln is confronted with perplexing problems. On the onn band the hair brained visionaries who imagine Bon Butler has a fair chance to become president, are clamoring for electoral fusion with the Dem- ocrats which would call forth the most desperato resistance force every republican into line of battle and bury the fusiouist beneath 20,000 majority. On the other hand the con- and a law vas ovolved that was expect ed to accomplish great results in the cause of justice and the prevention of | |jury *fixing.” The new law provides | | : that a list of 200 names of persons quali tem at the last session of the legislature fied to serve as grand and petit jurors shall beselocted by the county commis sioners, and put into a box. When the | proper time arrives stxtoen names shall be drawn out by the clerk of the court toserve on the grand jury and twenty- four names who shall constitute the regular panel of the petit jury. The box is then to boe locked up and afterwards when a juror is wanted in addition to those selected on the regular panels the clerk of court, the of the court, shall procoed to draw out as many in presence names as are wantedand a venire return- able forthwith shall be issued and placed n the hands of the sheriff for service. This law was putin operation at Evans- ton recently and proved a flat failure, the court having consumed a week in empan- neling tho grand and petit jury. Instead of expediting the business of the court it in & positive detriment and is a costly ex- periment to the counties which foot the bill. In somo instances names of persons wore drawn who resided 150 miles away and the court was compelled to adjourn until they were hunted up and brought into court, and their qualifications as jurymen ascertained; meanwhile thoso already drawn wero paid for standing on tho order of the court. The republican state convention by the nomination of Governor Dawes and Sec- rotary of State Roggen virtually endorsed theschool land frauds,and this put the par- ty on the defenslve instead of placing it in an aggressive attitude. The Republican admits this much when it says that “Gov- ernor Dawes and Secretary Roggen will fight it out on the line of a fair explana- tion to the people, and a complete vindi- cation of themselves.” The Republican says that Dawes and Roggen will show that the poople have not lost a dollar by the administration of achool land af- fairs. How will they explain the leasing of achool lands fora period of twenty-five yeara at an appraisement of twenty-five to fifty cents an acre, when the land actually ranges in value from $3 to $7 an acre! Is that & robbory of the people? How can they explain away tho fact that this land has been gobbled up by land- grabbing syndicates in a secret and ir- regular manner without giving the pub- not lic any opportunity to secure some of it? Is this not a robbery of the people, who are thus placed at the mercy of a ring of speculators if they wish to obtain school land? Facts and figures have been pub- lished to establish the truth of all the charges made against the board of public vention is wrestling with old reprobates, barnacles and shysters who have been caat off by tho old parties years ago, and now seek to force their way into public confidence through the anti-monop- olists. These broken-down hacks actually insist that they are the most lable parties at this junosture to run as_roform candidates for congress and and blatherskites usually possess the faculty of imposing upon farmers and workingmen by their loud Anti-mon- opoly talk, when in fact a sober second thought would show them to be utterly unfit for any public trust. Unless the Conventlon can choke off such cheeky old frauds as Colonel (/) Paco and chronic jobbers lik e Dave Butler, its work, will not commend itsolf to the people. Tho mantlo of anti-monopoly may cover a multitude of sins, but it will not at this orany other time covera bad record. This is no time for nominating candi- dates who are mnot clean-handed, and least of all is the anti-monopoly party in condition to countenance or support men who have betrayed a public trust in any station, Tun New York aldermen, in secrot meeting voted away tho franchise for astrect railway on Broadway not- withstanding Mayor Edson’s veto, are now tho subjects of the most emphatic criticism, They are openly denounced as bribe-takers, and they aro to be in- vestigated. One million dollars was legitimately offered to the city for the franchise, buv eigkteen aldermen, con- stituting a majority, proferred to feather their own nests and let the city take care of itself,and hence they the gave franchise to a ring that no doubt paid them handsomely for their votes, At an indignation meeting of citizons one of tho speakers referred to the fact that in 1859 the common council passed a resolution giving certain parties the right to build a road on Broadway, but a protest accompanied by an offer of £1,000,000 for the franchise was made, and thereupon Mayor Tieman vetoed the resolution. ‘Lhe franchise twenty-five years later ought to be worth a great deal more, and no doubt if it were put up at suction it would sell for many millions, thus materially aiding the city, The time has come when all such franchises should produce something for thoe troasury of the city granting them, and in this way the taxos of the people would be greatly lessened and there would be plenty of money on hand to pay for needed public fmprove- ments. The New York aldermen, who gave away the Broadway franchise, were roundly denounced by the citizens' meot- ing, which passed several resolutions one of which was to the effect that the alder- men who, “‘should regard themselves as fortu. nate if permisted to paes into obscurity | 1f evidence of briber can bey nbunmd they are to be prosecuted to the full ex- many, and it is difficult as yet to pre- |tent of the law. dict the outcome of the unsettled frame of mind in which Kelly's followers are now koown to be.

How the Land Ring Operated with the Surveying Ring —The Rald of the iatter on the Public Orib From the Omaha Daily Bee, Oct. 7th, 1552 Ever since Nebraska was admitted into the Union this state has been infested with a gang of land sharks who have sought to rob the people of fheir patri- mony in the public domain, First we had the state capital ring with Dave But- ler and Tom Kennard at its head, who engaged in the general land business on a very large scale, They disposed of thou- sands upon thousands cf acres to air line railroads built on paper, and they man- aged to traflic away the Saline lands, pen- itentiary lands and public improvement lands to land rings and corrupt jobbers. Then we had the swamp land rings under the Furnas regime, which voted to give Tom Kennard & Co., fifty per cent. of all the lands to which Nebraska was en- titled from tho national government under the swamp land act. It was com- puted that there were millions in this schemo, Then we had the land-grabbers and homestead swindlers’ ring, with Val- entine, Schwenck & Co,, as head centers. This ring infested northerh Nobraska and the Elkhorn valley as dealers and jobbors in homesteads, which were reserved and tcovered up” for the ring, and sold to settlers at extravagant premiums. But the most dangerous and rascally ring of land sharks that has ever cursed Nebras- ka, is the public school land ring, which has generally been operating throngh the State Land Commissioner, Glen Kendall. It is the influence of this ring, acting '.m Schlegael, £1,800. = Total expendi- ture, £106,300, | The lowing additional contracts | were reported for 1875, under special deposita: Wiltse, Court & McClure, . 782.65; Dorrington & Fairfield, 880.15; Mcl ‘r own & Hull, 2!

Beaman, $12,000; Paul & Harvey, $8,300; Wiltse, Crowell & Burton, $11,400; Dar. | rington & Fairtield, 9,000, Extract from Lincoln correspopdenc | e Bee, April 14th, 1884 There is not a day paeses but some state is being managed. It is known on good authority that a citizen has to | brave the lion in his den when he has the hardibood to approach Kernell Ken- dall on_the school land question espe- cially, If he is not openly refused an interview, his questions are roughly and gruflly answered. In fact I ascertained from a gentleman, who called upon his royal highness the other day, that he was given information that upon persis- tont effort he ascertained was absolutely false. Worthy people who came from a distance aro anxious to know how long this star chamber business is tocontinue. Others want to know why there are up- wards of $200,000 of the school funds of the state given to the banks of this city alone at a very low rate of interest, and how that interest money fs divided, and what hanks in Omaha have a fin; in the pie’ They also desire to know if it is honorable and concientiously honest, even if the law does not prohibit it, for Kernell Kendall to lease all the valuable school lands in the state to syndicates so that worthy applicants who desire to ob- tain theso lands have to pay exhorbitant prices to buy off the original lessors be- fore they can get a leasehold? There are at least three tirms in this city alone to- day (and divine providence only knows how many individuals) who are growing through C. H. Gere, who was a silent partner in the Butler and Kennard ring, that caused the following plank to be smuggled into the republican platform: Resolved, That the policy of the state board of lands and buildings, favoring the leasing, for terms of years, of our school, university and agricultural col- ege lands, at a fair rental, in preference to selling the same, under the option given by law, meets with our approval as the best possible means of preserving the heritage of our children and providing regular and ever increasing revenues for educational purposes. When this eingular plank was first given to the public, THE Bre regarded it as mere bunkum, but we have since dis- covered a very huge darkey in that wood pile. This innocent plank endorsing the action of (ilen Kendall in leasing the land on option is designed to cover a stu- pendous fraud. We have it from re- liable authority that the school land ring has already pocketed thousands of dol- lars out of school land leases. They operate about as follows: The state school lands are first appraised under the order of the board of public lands, of which Glen Kendall is the head and front. The appraisers are picked from among the ring and the lands are appraised at a very low rate. They then forward an application for twenty years’ lease for Glen Kendall, and they get the use of the land at six per cent, which is about six cents per acre per annum, Large tracts of school lands are thus leased to the ring and then sub-let to actual settlers. These leases are granted without notice to any- bocy and nobody outside of the ring knows anything about them. If a farm- er wants to pasture cattle or wants to cut hay he has to pay a round sum or instead of a red rose on a green leaf.” What Ben Butler doesn’t know about farming isn’t worth knowing. —_— Mg, T.

A good story comes from a boys’ board- ing-school in” ““Jersey.” The diet was monotonous and constipating, and the learned Principal decided to introduce some old-stylo physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy results, Ono bright lad, the smartest in school, discovered the secrot mine in the sauce, and pushing back his plate, shouted to the pedagoguo, *No physic, sir, in mine, My dad Stold mo to ute nuthin’ but Dr, Pierce’s Pleas. ant Purgative Pellets, and they aredoing thelr duty like n charm!” They aro anti- | bilious, and purely vegetable, mia Test, Ci1cAGo, Septewber 9.—The Chicago live stock exchange d 1 yosterday to purchase ton howd of hoalthy cattlo to be prosented to 9 Livo Stock commission for the purposs of lldlllul to purchase the lease. Wo have been assured that a single tract of land in Madison county the ring was offered five hundred dollars bonus for the lease within a week. When the parties who have bought school lands under former contracts fall behind in their payments the lands are declared forfeited by the land commissioner and leased at “‘option” to the ring at very low figures. It is to endorse this system of robhery and jobbery that the republi- can party has been imposed upon by that mysterious plank in the platform, Aud Glen Kendall is the right man to carry out these swindling operations. Glen was up to his ears in_ the old sur- veying contracts that scandalized the ro- publican party for & number of years, and wero tho key note of the revolt against the old dynasty six years age. A5 o matter of record we append the following list, which may throw some light upon the political operations of the samo old sharks both in Northern and Southern Nebraska, Nearly overy one of these surveying contracts were more or less fradulent, and the Kendall’s, and the Paul's cut a considerable figure in these swindling operations, Tho statement showing the contracts and_condition of public surveys und special railroad deposits of $41,438.51 during the fiscal year ending June 30th 1872, 1a substantially as follows: Stephenson & Slocum, April 5, 1872 £6,000; Wiltse, Kendall & Court, £6,000; Koyes & Jamison, €0, Park & Campbell, § 0;Paul & Hervey,§3,000; North & Bocker, €0,000; Miner & Reason r, $5,100; Pallard & Wells, 83, 8005 Patrick & Stout, §2,400.

But they are useful’ The cows are fed eapecially for theso tests; they necessarily require extrsordinary care, and are subject to unusual risks. Being highly valuable as breeders, we doubt the wisdom of taking such risks. Conduct the chances for a year under possible conditions of general treatment and they would possess decided value as indexes of the quality of the animals under trial. Herd tests, or (a better word) records of yearly products, are the only reliable tests fora breed. Com- parisons of breeds, as the butter quali- ties of Jersey and Holland cows, are lu- dicrious nonsense when the conditions of the compared tests are not stated. To boast of a 15.ths.a-week Hollander against a 14 Ibs-a-week Jersoy, without stating the weight of the animal, the milk yield and the food consumed in each case, is like stating that one lump of ccal g,lves more heat than another lump. e —— Fall Plowing, Towa Homestead. We had occasion Jast year to note the remarkable difference between land plowed in August and the first part of September and that plowed in the spring, 1;.,‘}. pieces being sowed to oats the samo day. We think it is the observation of all farmers that, other things being equal, fall plowing is a much surer crop than spring. Thero are othor adyantages, the opportunity to plow deeper and al- low the frost to fit the soil for crops, the covering of weeds before the sced ripens, the bettor condition of horses for work, and the advantage of having ground ready for spring operatious 1n case of sod it is especiully advan- tageous to have the ground fall-plowed. For theso, and other reasons, it is espec inlly desirable to have as large a breadth of ground plowed as possible—the earlier it 18 plowed the better.

The shank bones of oxen are almost ex- clusively used for this purpose, 2,000,000 being required annually for the cutlery trade. Tha best qualities are so good as to be mistaken for ivory by the nexpe- rienced eye. Of the whole importation of bones 1nto Great Britain in 1880, 78,- 138 tons wore made into fertilizers, and 11,111 tons were used for manufacturing purposes, chicfly by Sheflield cutlers. —— Force ot Habit, Chicago Herald, “We hnd a good laugh this morning on our car,” said a Pullman conductor, to somo of the railroad boys in the Fort Wayne depot. **As we pulled into Val- paraiso at 3 o'clock the porter of the res- taurant there was out on the platform | hammering his gong. 8'pose the train [ stopped and the racket woke up a woman | from down near Pittsburg eomewhere, for I heard her say to her husband, sho gave him a punch in the ribs *“There's the milkman, John; get up as | aud build the firo, John, are you awake!” [ “Force of hablt, I guess.” | — | hicago Weather, Ciitcaco, September 9, —The past ten days in this city have const od a heated term 1n intensity almost unprecedented in the hm-., of the city.
