COME WEST. Unde: a declsion by Jadge Brower 27,000 asres of land heratofore wrong: fally held by the Southern Kansas rail- way company have been returned to the publlc domaia, and the stampoede by settlers to secure locations shows that the demaad for land does not abate any. 1t land-secking continues at the present rato for the noxt five years thera wili be vory littlo of tho publlc domaln left for agricultural purpotes, Now s tho time to mocure a home, and we advise all eastern poople who contemplate seeking a now locatlon in the west not to delay too long. Thaere is plonty of good land In many of tho western atates and terrltorles to be had either by homestead or pre-emptlon entry or by purchaze at reasonablo rates. Bat thls will not bs the case two or threa years hence, as all good lands ara bolng rapidly taken up. This is trae of Nebraska, bat there Is plenty of room iu this state yot, and no better land can be found anywhere. Tihe New York Herald vory sensibly urges the young men, who are dragging out a mlzerable, hopeless exlatence, to follow Horace Greeley’s advice and go west, whera wealth and honor are walting for those who will exert themselves, *‘It is trae,” says the ZZerald, “the land available for homestead entrizs 1s seldom on rail- road lines or great rivers; nevertheless it is fit for cultlvatlon and will sustsin life, Therels thoutands of times as much of 1t as would be necessary to give farms, homer, occupation and food to the multitude of young men who ara squandering valuable years in trylng to get business positions which pay barely enough to malntain life, and which offer no prospect of advancement, The government will not pay the travel- ing expanses of prospective settlers, but it would cost no more effort to walk all the way to a dosirable ‘quarter section’ than it does to tramp clty sldewalks day alter day In sesrsh of employment, or, worse stlll, of small loans. A good many ‘walking clubs’ m'ght be organ!z:d by the young men of New York, with the cartalnty of a priz) for every maa if the ‘finlsh’ were made on unoccupled land in the terrltories.” SATURDAY'S performance at the Omaha drlving park, under the ausplces of the exposition management, was not by any means sitisfactory to the large crowd In attendauce, and there is a good deal of jastifiable complaint. The programme was a ;ood one if it had been properly carried out, but the tedious, uncalled-for and prevoklng delays made the people impatient. They went there to s3e the trot betwean Phyllls and Jos Davls, but nestly the whols afteraoon was conzumed with the other races, some of which were of a scrab chsracter, although thls fact was overlookod, Tae first host batween Payllls and Joe Davis was nst trotted until long after four o'clock, and owing to thls uareasonable delay the race was loft unfinished. Oar people expeoted falr time and a £quare trot, but Instead of this no time was made below 2:21, although the track was In good condltion and everything else favorable. Either Phillls or Joo Davis could hava made batter time than 2:20, bat they were s!mply hippodromed, one horse win- ning one heat and the cther the next, thus leaving the race a tle, This kind of business added disgust to impatience, and when the crowd dlspersed at dark the oploion was freely expressed that thers was a tle-up with the bar to hold the people there a3 long as possible 8o as to have them spsnd their money for drinks, Our cltlzons wurned out liberally to assiat the exposition man- sgement in goitlng even on the rainy weather and they had a right to expect a good race, good time, falr treatment, and promptne:s In carrylng out the pro- gramme, o all of which they wers badly disappolnted. — Tue Bee again urges the necessity of the sppointment of a boller inspector Such an officer would not necessarily ore- stoan additional expente to the city, as Le cculd easlly be paid out of the feos cherged fcr intpectlon, It 1s estimated ihat there are fully 150 bollers now in ute in Omaha, and the majority of theie are rarely, if ever, Inspecied. They sre allowed 10 be used year In and year out without Inapection or repalr. We ven: ture to ssy that & competent inspector would declara at least fifty bollers in this city unsafe and in need of repa Bome day shall have & terrlfic ex- plosion, snd then the councll will be forelbly Impressed with the necesalty of systematio boiler inspection, No one shoald be employed as a boller laspector Gladetcne, iy good encugh for them, Helun'ess he s posliively known to bea competent man, There are, however, a few boilers that are thoroughly Inspected at regular Intervals by the best experts in the couniry, These boilers are In the large establishmente, and the inspection fs done by exports in the employ of an eastern boller Insurance and Inepootion company In which these bollers are In- sured, Should boller inspection be es- tablished in this clty such bollers as are frsared and Inspected by this eastern company should be exempted from the olty Inspection. Bisnor Joax Suare, of Utah, who ls a very shrewd and wealthy buslness man, has at last beoome convinced that it la uteless for the polygamlsts to fight the Edmuonds law. He has accordingly set a worthy example to his people by plead- ing gulity to the Indistmeat against him for unlaw/ul cohatitation, and promisiog futare obedlence to the laws, the suprom- acy of which he recogniz:d, At thesame trlal he eald he would not advlse any one elte to break the laws of the country. In conslderation of his astion a light five, only $300, was Imposed upon him, and he was dlscharged upon payment. The wise courso puraned by such an luflaen- tlal Mormon as John Sharp will undoubt- edly havo a beneficial and Immoediate ef- fect upoa the polygamists, and we pre- diot that polygemy, as a pretended re- liglous doctrine, will soon be a thing of the past. Now let the Unitsd States of- ficials push the prosecutlons, and use the examplo of John Sharp to convincs the polygimists that it is eimp'y an act of folly to any longer attempt to opposs the execution of the Edmurnds law. Tue dizcnsslon regarding the Loary appolntment hes dragged tho Knights of Labor into the various papers in a man- ner which, &s we are informed, fa not at all agrooable to that organizatlon. The Knights of Labor aro nota politicsl body. That is to say they ara not oflice-saekors or professional politicians, members desire us to say that while the appointment of Mr. Loeary to the board of public works was not made st the re- quest of the Kuighte, they would have regarded it as a compliment and a favor had tho council confirmed him. The statemont that ‘‘the executive commlttco of the Knlghts ot Libor when asked to endorze him unanimously refused to do 80," Is pronounced untrue by the two Knights above referred to. They say the fao: Is that the committes was nover asked to indorse him, but they gave it as their optnion that had the Koights sought this place on the board of public works Mr. Leary would have been the choice of that body. & Kair Picture. —What is this mother?

Written for the Bxr, Andrew Johnson's career presents ex- traordloary contrasts, From 1860 he poured forth his farlous anathemss againat the secession leaders, and contin- ued thus to do till after he had been president a few months, when he sud- denly ceased to threaten them with death, and beoams thelr champion, at thesame time turning the batterles of his wrath apon the republioans who had made him vlcs president. - Such a com- plete political metaworphoris could not not cccur without arresting universal at- tentlon and causing varlous surmises and theories as to the cauees, regarding which the pnblic have had but a vague idea. To comprehend them more fully it will be necessary to go back a little. Mr. Johnson sprang from a rough mold, He was cradled in the rude mountaln life of western North Carollns, raised In poyer- ty and fgnorance, but he porses:ed grest natural abllitles; sud as ha grew up he developed an unbcunded ambitlon, Removing with his father, at an ocarly 1ig, to a wild eection of Tenneatee, aud and eettllog among en illiterato poople ho was, of ocourse, without tho advan- tages and refining ivflaences which edn- cavicnal facilitles: mpart. Ho was legt to kis own efforts and resources for such improvement 28 be might make, and to his credit it muet e sald that ho was In reulily a self-mada man. The combative nature which so strongly mapped his afier career was undoubtedly ncurished |and strergthened by his contact with the difficultles and chatacles with which be had to contend durlng his early life. He wes consigred to hard, nnceasing toil, and this hard lot In lifs undoubtedly fm- planted within him a strange sympathy with the poor working_ people by whom he was surrounded and whese Interests he espoused, and it also criated that strong hostility to southern arlstocracy which he was always fiast to exhibit to the country. As he grew up this antagonism grew also, and his ambition for politicel preferment increazed. He made a ven- ture, was clected an aldermar, then mayor, and reached the legisiature. Arlstocrats cbzerved him, looked down upon him, treated him as & parvenue. Senator Hammond, of South Caroliva, bad denounced in the eenate those men in the north whoworked for a living as ‘‘the wud:ills of scclety.” Andrew Johnson wes a mudsill of southern eoctety; he was a tallor, and made clothes to cover the lordly arletocrats who owned labor snd the laborer, and who looked upon the formor es degrading and the lattor as degraded. They despised Johrison snd he hawed them, Slavery always creates the worat specles of arisiocracy. It Is luterestiog and instructive to note at this day the sentimen s which deminated the south twenty-five years ago, when the greas strugele between slavery and free- dom was coming on, Sald the Charles- ton Mercury of that day: ‘“‘We are the woat arlstoorattc people In the world. Arlstecracy {s 1he only safeguard of lberty.” The Richmond Whig said: “‘It way be arlstoorrtic In creating a whole nation of petty kings and lordly barons, but it develops Indi- viduallty—It produces a class of proud and Independent country gentlomen, de- voted to freedom (freeiom of our slaver), jeslous of their own rights, and respeot. jul of the rights of others.” De How’s Revlew, asouthern magazine,sald: ““The rcal ofvilization of a country Isln its arlstccracy, To make en arfetocrat In the future we must eacrifice & thousand paupere. Yet we would by all means malio them—make them permanent, too —by law of entall and primogenitare, The right to govern resides Ina very small winority; the duty to obey la in- herent in the great masses of mankind,” Against such doctrines, .demo- cratic, antl republican doctrines, which wero universal amorg tho ruling classes fu the scuth, he arrayed himself with all tho vehement earnestness cf his rugged nature. But while giviopg bim credit for hls persistent war- faro egalcat them, it must boe cbserved that one resson for it was, that the doors of the charmed circlo of southern arlstocratic society were ever closed to him, He was socially cstra- cfred. He was as domlnecring and arro- g:ut Ly pature as were the pro-slavery leacers, but he was & plebetan, snd that cou'd ot bs overlooked. covgress in 1843, where ha remsiued ten years, and, though he always acted with bis party, (democratlc) ecotally he was a patish, up.n whom the s)uthern mem- vers looked down with aversicn, Through all those yesrs, and down to the Incep- tion (f the seceeslon movement, his hos- thlity to them {ncreased in bitterness and intensity, He was sharp encugh, and smart enough, to se, and believe, that tbe unlon could not be destroyed, that the north would trlumph, He now f.l¢ that the time had come for him to reap aotlon for the long yesrs of 4neult #nd scorn which they wmeted out to him, He espoused the side of the north, and cpened the pent visle of bis long cher- fshed wrath agafnst the leaders os seces- eion, We of the north gave hlw, st the time, credit with- out stlnt, for what seemed to be extracrdinary devotlon to the anlon, but an unprejudiced survey of his polit- fcsl course both before and after the war, and in the light of subsequont evints, must convince anyone that the controll- ing motlve with him was revenge. He un”oubtedly preferred the union to the ¢ 1! deracy,for he knew the latter meant dé2'h to him; but it was a selfish prefer- ence, fcr, afterwarde, as the writer will show, he was willing to destroy the peace of the uvion, If pecessery, 10 csrry cut bis purposes.

His conduct and condition on that ceession nos only shocked the moral sense of the people of the ncrth, but greatly disiurbed the con- fidence ot the republioan party in hlm, d the leaders, such as Sumuer, Wade, Ohandler, the Morrils, Ooukl vg, An- thony, Sievens and others, us well as the leading republlosn papera of the country denouncea his conduct In langusge of un- meaeured severlly. And beciuse they did, he became correrpondingly «xaspors ated towards them. Theso things con= vinced him that he had nothing more to hope from the republicans, that he coald not, at the end of bhis term, have a re- nominstion from them— that he must look elsewhere for supjort or go into permanent retirement. Ho wae, there- tore, ln a conditivn to llsten to preposi- tlons. The southern leaders, s e'ng the republican party had ont loose feom him, realizing his desperate condltlon, con- eclous that he wen.d be of Immense ad- vantago to them if they oould b:ing him over to their alde, and, thoroughly know- Ing the man and his weak poiats, set about accomplishing the purpcse. They approached him with flattery, and put before him tempting baite; told him 'hey had lost, aud he had triumphed, tbi.the was now in power, he could now bec me thelr leader, and they would glve him thetr support, and that he would be mor- ally certain to receive the demooratlo nomination for the presidency in 1868.
