The extension of the Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley railroad to the Black HHills is affording plenty of oppor- tunities for the town-site and corner-lot speculators to make an honest dollar or two by the mere turn of the wrist.

W hile at Washington the reporters repre sent the comntry as all ablaze with indignation and excitement over Mr. Sparks, we have heaed very little of western | it in Nebraska excepting from the pals of that prince of pre-emptors, Jim Laird, whose frandulent entrics of publie lands on Stinking Water ereck have been can celled by Mr. Sparks. Witha civenlation of over 20,000 weeklies nmong the farmers of Nebraska, Dakota and Kansas, tho Bk has as yet to hear the first protest from any of its patrons against Mr. Sparks’ conduct of the national land oflice. Our farmer snbseribers are in the habit of freely using our eolumns with complaints againstexisting abuses, 1If the whole farming element in this scetion was in arms against Mr. Sparks’ tyranny as is represented by telegrams from Washington would it not be natural to suppose that a few at least wonld by this time have availed themselves of our columns to ventilate their feelings? For our part we believe Mr. Sparks to be the best land commissioner that the country has had in twenty-live years. He is the first man since the war period who has had backhone enongh to stand oftf the land robbers and to defy their paid lobby. We have had land commissioners hefore him who were in collusion with the surveyors' rings and who played right into the hands of the land nt syndi- cates. Infact itis an open sceret that the Pacitie railroads owned and controlled the land oftice for several administra- tions. Mr. Williamson, for instance, who went out of the land office to take ch »of the Innd interests of the Atlantic & Pacifie was originally foisted on Grant through the influence of the Credit Mobilier ring. This man Williamson, who conveyed millions of acres of un- earned lands to the Pacific roads and with open be earried on under his very nose, has now the andacity (o denouuce Mr. Sparks through the New York Zribune us “an idiot.” Mr. Willizmson is voiced through the right medinm. Since Whitelaw Reid married into the Central Pacifie railroad the Zribune has been the mainstay of monopolies. Mr. Williamson was never the kind of an idiot that Sparks is and Sparks will never be promoted to a fat railroad job in return for services rend- ered. The time has come now for papers that are not controlled by the railroads and land syndicates to speak out without reserve, As arepublican paper we may have no influence with Mr. Cleveland’s administration, but we say to the dele- ations in congress from this section that the pretext for the removal of Commis- sioner Sparks will not satisfy their con- stituents. The men who are honestly en- titled to patents for homesteads and pre- emptions are not clamoring for a chango and the others are not entitled to consid- eration. Tie Toledo Blade s the following words of praise for Nebraska's senior somator: “Senator Van Wyck, of Ne- braska, has begun energetic work to bring the land grant railways to a realiz ing sense of the fact that they do not own the country, but are amenable to the laws of the land. He has introduced a bill providing for the taxation of unpat- ented lands owned by railroad companics, which requires such companics to pay the | cost of surve Iand within sixty days after the passage of the act, or that, in default thereof, the lands shall be subject to entry under the home- stead and pre-emption laws, and liable to taxation.” ing and locating PeTER Scnwesck has finally got a case before the railrond commission, and complains loudly of discriminations against his business, When Peter was damning the anti-monopolists he little thought how soon the shos would pineh his own tender corns. Y Many a pocket-book has been flattened out by Christmas as completely as if stepped upon by an clephaat Other Lands Than Ours. The alliance between Gladstone and Parnell to give Ircland home rule con- tinues to be the tope of paramount in terest in England. The English torics Ditterly denounce Gladstone for this s ur render, and avtribute it to his ambition and love of rule. It is no doubt true that the desire of sceuring a strong work- ing majority in the government through the aid of Parnell has had much to do with this alliance. But it is one that has grown out of the necessities of English polities, The necessity for the paciflea- tion of Ircland by a large measure of politieal concession could be no longer postponed with safety, and nothing short of this programme of feasible.

In 187 Count von Moltke opposed the project on the ground tnat it would be better to in- vest the money required for the construe tion of the eanal in inereasing the imper- inl fleet; but now that the plan for found- ing a navy has been carvied out, the fiel marshal has eome around to the views expressed in that “plan.” “The de- fonses of tl Germany must always remain a divided task so long as a canal does not conneet the Baltic with the German enable German war vessels to pass from one sea to the other by a route which does not engross to the danger of falling into foreign hands.? The project has been under the consideration of the Prussian govern especially since 1865, and now, at last, it is going to be realized. const of ocean and ment, mor The London Times of December 12 contains a long letter of Sie William Har- court on tne complexion of the new par hament. His comparative table shows that in the last parliament, which con ained 652 seats, there w 213 liberals, 29 tories, and 46 Parneliites, actual mem- bers; and that in the new parliament. con- taining 670 seats, there will be 833 liber- als, 230 tories, 86 Parnellites, and 1 pendent. His analysis of the result shows further that while the liberals lost 32 seats in Ireland, to be charged to Mr. Parnell, they gained 22 in Great Britain, 11 in England and Wales, and 11 in Scot- land. Of the 32 additional members in the house the liberals have gained 22, tie tories 9, and the Parncllites 1. As a dis proof of any tory reaction he fignres out that England, Scotland and Wales, in spite of the Parnell manifesto, have iven Mr. Gladstone a majority larger by 16 than that which he had at the close of ast parliament. From this basis it is elaimed that the real strength of tl liberal party is larger and that of the tories smaller than it has been in former constituencies, and Sir William triumphantly announces: “One thing, at least, this election has proved, that the tory party can never, under any conceivable eircumstances, have a majority in the house of com- mons.”" w Cuba i Yo ueh interested in the question of the Spanish suecession, and this country is naturailty very much in- terested in Cuba. An outhreak in Spain at this time wouid probably be the signal for an outbreak in Cuba. Spain knows that Cuba writhes under its rule and re- volts in its heart. The erop returns, how- ever, have a more favorably showinz this year than in many seasons past. Evena Show of brighter business prospeets would tend to keep the island weil dis- posed toward a settled home govern- ment. Cuba has had its fill of revolu- tion. Patriotism is a grand thing, but will and revolutions cannot be main- tained and sustained without money or arms. Cuba is destitute of both arms and money. The spirit there is willing enough, but the flesh is still weak.
