Yesterday, the closing day of the school year at the State University, dawned cool and pleasant. Although the streets under foot were muddy and the erossings wretched, the procession as arranged upon from their campus grounds to the onera house, where the commencement exercises were held, was ecarried out nearly as advertised, the cadet band marching at the he: nd furnishing in- spiring music to the seniors, who, by these final exercises, finished their course The university the past year seems to have enjoyed much prosperity, both in attendance and in the work done by pro- fessors and students. Peace and mony seems to prevail between the re- gents, the faculty and the students, and it is very evident that the people «f Lin- coln appreciate the university, and enter im0 1ts work and associations with com- mendable spirit. The enormous expense that the university incurs upon the state is well known, and it might safely be doubted it returns were commensurate with the outla, But if the institution grows, the fow years that elapse before the number of students that ought to be found within its walls may be passed by as preparatory yea and the real profit of the school pegin In comparison with past years the t the state university scem t great majority of the people to be bright and full of promise.

THE FITZGERALD STOCK SALE opened _yesterday and was largely at- tended by stockmen, boih locally " and from points in the state. About two hun- dred hoad are up for sale, and the pros- pects seem to be promising that the sale will be a success. The rapid growth that Nebraska is making as a stock state, and especially in the fine stock line, is illus- trated in just such sales as this, wherein 200 head of thorough-bred stock is offered for sale at one time, and most of it Ne- braska born and bred stock at that, which equals in growth and quality the stock of any castern breeders.

The Unfettared Press Hail Him as the True and Vigilant Guardian of the Interests of the Masses ~Interesting Comments. Taxing Rallroad Land Grants. Washingt (June 8) special to the New York Tribune; In pursuance of 1its determination to guard the interests of scttlers on the public domains as opposed to corporations, the senate to-day passed M an Wyck's bill to provide for the taxation of railroad grant lands. The methods by which corporations have tion in some escaped their share of t of the western states and territories were fully disclosed in the debate on this bill. Mr. Hoar withdrew his amendment to limit the ownership of lands sold for taxes under this act to 040 acres. He withdrew it, ho said, because it might im- pede the of the measure. In he replied to some of iced by Mr. Evarts In closing, Mr. ts, said: e people will not longer be content with the wind of any rhetorie, no matter from what arp it may come, m- stead of solemn fa I Mr. Van Wyck skilfully aided the prompt passage of the bill in the house by getting it substituted, all except the title, for the house bill recently passed on the same subject. He then asked for a conference committee. The following are the provisions of the bill, as passed: “No lands granted to any railr hy act of congress shall be exemy tion by states, territories or munieival corpor- ations on account of the lein of the United States on such lands for cost of surveying, sel ng, or beeause no patent hadl 1 ands; this proyision notto apply,lowever, 1 All suel lands Sold o jeetta the lian ¥ (t o3 £0siS, and to allliens, mortgages and rights of the United States! The act is made to apply only to lands situa- ted opposite to and eoterminus with, com- pleted portions of the. toad, and in organized counties, At any sale of lands under the act the United States may become a preferred purehaser, and in such case the lands shall be restorcd to the public domain.

A Match for Railroad Lawyers. ow York Times, May 20: The bill for- feiting the uncarned lands of the North- ern Pacific railroad was the subject of a lively debato in the senate ye lay, i which Mr. Van Wyck showed him more than a mateh for the railroad law- yers who muke up such a large part of that body. The house bill provides for a forfeiture of all the lands that had not been earned by the company on July 4, 1879, and the strict justice of itcan hardly be disputed. * * * * Considermg that the time for completing the road in order to be entitled to the grant expired years ago, this cannot be regarded as se- vere. Senator Van Wyck's Strategy. New York Herald special, June 3: The e, on the motion of Senator Van ck, did a very good thing to-day. Having passed a bill for_tne taxation of railrond grant lands, Mr. Van Wyck moved that this bill be substituted for a bill passed by the house, and also before the senate, different in terms, butintended to have the same general effect. The senate voted, therefore, tirst to substitutoe the wording of the senate bill for the house bill; then it voted to substitute the title of the senate bill for that of the house bill. By this device the senate bill goes back to the housc as an amendment of the house bill and goes to a conference com- mittee, instead of being laid away at the tail of the calendar; and as the house public lands commuttee is ready to accept the senate bill, this is now certain to b come a law. Without this_good man- agement on the part of Mr. Van W, might have gone over to the next session. The object of the bill 18 to put a stop to the evasion by land grant roads of state and local taxation on their lands. In ree sessions of congress futile efforts been made to accomplish this en- tirely |u-np(-rnnnl_iu result, but the *‘co poration’’ senators and representatives always prevented it, - Public opin- King itsclf felt very strongly here on land matters and with the Lest eflect in congress. Defeating Rallroad Senators, Washington special to New York Times: This has been a field dey for Mr, Van Wyck in the senate. He astonished those who knew the make-up of the senate by defeating Mr. Edmund’s at- tempt to table his amendment to the Northern Pacific forfeiture bill, and then for the rest of the session he debated suc- cessfully, with senator after senator, and sometimes with two or three together, Messrs. Edmunds, Dolph, and Mitchell tried hard to have the forfeiture bill left in the shape the railroad wanted it, for- feiting only the lands on the route be- tween Wallula, Washington Torritory, and Portland, Oregon. Mr. Van Wyck's amendment provided for the forféiture of all lands not earned by the road at the of the passage of the bill, * * =« Mr. Edimund showed how much he felt the defeat of his tabling motion by de- claring that the forfeiture bill had in:en “be-deviled” until the people might be excused for thinking that the railroad company had bought, misled, and hood- winked the senate. He sneered at Mr, Van Wyck's zeal for the interest of the nublic, and accused him of trying to sub- sidize the Union Pacific road by propos- ing to allow the money depositeéd by that company in the treasury to be used in l.vuih‘lmg branch lines. Mr. Van Wck auswered Mr. Edmunds in a way thatdid not at all please that senator. Mr. Doiph undertook to discompose the Nebraska senator, and made a dismal failure. Mr, Mitehell tried the same thing and met the same fate, Then the two Oregon senators and Mr Edmunds together phed Van Wyek with questions, and found him ready to answer each with a retort that was right to the point. Mr. Harri- son was equally unsuccessful in his at- tempt to overthrow the Nebraska sena- tor.” After all these had been silenced the last al on Mr. Van Wyck was made by Mr. Plumb, who would haye felt better satisfied with himself after 1t was over if be had left the Nebraska s ator alone. Mr. Van Wyck isalways wmore effective when engaged in a sharp running debate than when making a set speech, and the manner in which he handled each senator who opposed him to-day was watched with the greatest glee by a majority of his colleagues, who cnjoyed the debate more than similar discussion this session. The Work of Three Sessions. Now York Times: The Van Wyek bill is the result of hard work in thrée con- gresses, and the failure to pass some measure of the kind in the last two con- *l sses is now regarded as a good thing. Che advocates of the proposition began by trying.to make the granted lands sub- 17. LA R jeet to taxation by having the govern ‘ment give quit<laim deeds for the lands. This was to overcome the objection that, as the railroad might some time give up lands to the goyetnment, they should not be taxed. Thep it was proposed, as in the house bill of this year, to make the taxation bill apply oniy to certain roads The bill finally passed last w makes all the granted lands of the railroads sub. ject to taxation. It was the purpose of the friends of the railroads to play the house bill against th nate hi‘ll until until both were Killed by the close of the session. Mr. Van Wyck's strategy has in sured a bill broader and stronger than the friends of taxation believed they could get through both houses. The Bogus Butter Bill, New York limes: It looked very much as if Mr. Miller had too strong odds against him, when Mr. Van Wyck came to his aid with a speech which stirred up the senators in a way that greatly enter tained the galler He contented that the bill was one to protect the people from fraud and imposition and that it was in no sense a revenue bill, the tax clause being a mere incident. He had not spoken many minutes hefore senators be F‘“ to nterrupt. Mr. Butler began ask- ng questions, and Mr. Van Wyck drew from him the admission that he would kick the bill out of congress if he could, Mr. Maxey ran a short tilt with him, and Mr. Edmunds menaced Mr. Van Wye with the terrors of the supreme court, which might be felt if the bill was passed without going to the finance committee. When his opponent had retired Mr Van Wyck charged them with proposing to send tho biJf to the finance committee, which had already complained of being over-worked, for the sole purpose of hav- ing it crowded o the session, and thus prevent any legislation on the subject. Mr. Evarts made a speech in_ which he apparently argued that the bill might properly go to either the agricultural, tinance, commeree, ot judici; commit- nnounced his pu to vote for the first. It was considerably more than an hour after Mr. Miller's ‘motion had been made when it was put to oy and-nay vote. the apponents of the bill wero within one vote of the needed strength to send it to the tinance committee. They mustered twenty-one senators, but the bill ywas sent 1Q the navianltizal eominitie by the votes of twentystwo senator STATE PRESS COMMENT. An Imported In the first place the Republic what its name indicates, a_republican paper, no half way or mush and milk republic: t, and an unflinehing exponent of inciples of the republican party. From whai we have been able 'to lea about Van Wyek during our six months re dence in Neb , we have elusion that | a political adventurer and a demagogue of the first water, a man who has been able to pull the wool over the eyes of a large portion of the peonle of the state, and has had the cunning to use his advantages to i has been a nd disorganiz ka polities we believe, it all reports are true, th such men‘are regaled into obscur- ity the bette [Stromsburg Republican, Brother Lindstrom has evidently been imposed upon.: He does not write like a liar or wilful slanderer, and we are led to the conclusion that he knows less of Nebraska politics than he did six months ago, when he cama. to the state. Let us “rogale” vou withsa few faets, Brothe L., and then it you continue your false statements, we, can better judge as to what manner of man you are. Senator Van Wyck was once an adyenturer, it is true. “He ventured outat the head of a regiment, to pattle for his country, was promoted to the rank of gencral and fought bravely till the war was ended. Was you there, brother? Did you hear the shell sereech, the rifle balls and the cannon ball$ roar tour years® If so you can judge perfiaps whether the gal- ant gen 1, so often promoted and enthusiastically praised, is a very bad kind of an adventurer. 1f you were not there, sir, allow us to re- mind you that :\nr“' sling at_the old war horse comes with very bad grace from you. Eight years Mr. Van Wyck rep- resented a_district in New York in the congress of the United States; four years he fought his country’s battles; six or cight successive yoars he represented Otoe county in the state senate, and near- ly six years now he has represented Ne- braska in the senate of the United States. He has never held office except at the hands of republicans, and after receiving therepublican nomination. He has never in all his life ran for oflice unless called upon to do so by a convention of the re- publican party. Say, do you think he is a bolter, demagogue and disorganizer? You have n lied to, Brother Lind- strom, by his enemies, and your faith in what they have said has “led you into saying things that every intelligent man, who knows the honors that have been heaped upon Mr. Van Wyck, knows to be bascless, unprovoked slanders. Dema- gogues and pol adventurers are not sent to congress year after year from New York, by the republican party they are not honored equally in military and civil life; they are not kept perpetually in the state senate by their neighbors, and it is very rarcly indeed that the republican Ilmr!\' sends a dema- rogue and politi adventurer to the ‘Unuud States senate. You should think on these things, brotlier, and net sling mud, unfit to throw at a thief, at a man who has stood steadily in the front rank of the republican party for two score years, If you want to oppose him, no- body will” object, but be honorable and fair. Another thing we will say right here, »«minf{ you are notlong in the state: John M, Thurston, Thomas Kennard, P. 0.

If Van Wyck intro- 1 and through his efforts the s passed to compel railronds to re- store public lands which have been for- feited and compel them to pay taxes on lands which have been gencrously given them b_}' the people, he 1s called a crank and railroad wrecker. If he introduces a bill to aid a road in which the government is largely inter- ostod and whirh bas beon wreofud by bad management but is now under good management and struggling to avoid being swallowed by hauglity competitors, the howl is raised by the monopoly out: fit, **He has gone over to the railro: The charges amount to this: and you shant, you won't, amned if you do, And you'll be damned if you don.” Van The Best Representative. Nance County Journal. If the republi- can press which is howling so vigorously against Van Wyck for no cause that we are able to discover except that he is not so straight-laced in his politics as to tight for party regardless of principle, will show one instance where he has ever ad- vocated a measure in congress det mental to the best interests of the state and country, they will be doing some- thing that never has been attempted yet to our knowledge. 1t is not such men as Van Wyck who, as the Tecumseh Chief- tain would have us believe, have brought defeat and disaster to the revublican Barly. 1t is the great leaders who have een ready to sacrifice every principle of justice and right in order to Iperpetuate the party for plunder only. Itis the men who have played into the'hands of corpor- ations and plundered the people to further enrich the moneyed kings, who have brought ahout whatever disaster fallen upon the party. And if there is any ho‘w for republicanism, it lies with men who will represent the interests of the masses. We have had too much leg- islation for the protection of capital, ql s time something was done to protect labor. We sec no hope of relief from the democratic party, nor the republican either, if such men as Van Wyck are to be sat down upon, While "there a doubtless other men in the state equally worthy the confidence of the vmn)lu, we see no good reason why Van Wyek should be thrown overboard—in fact, no reason Again we say, he is the best man who lias_ever représented Nebraska in the United States senate, and is so recognized throughout the land. The 1ssue This Fall. Verdon Vide The question with the people this fall is not S0 much—whom can we elect to build up the party, but rather—whom can we clect to work for the pcople. Partyism 1s not so strorgly developed as it has been, and the pooplo are just learning that it is not safe to put their trust in either politicians or parties. Pohticians work for themselves and par- ties are their tools. What we most need is some more ‘‘cranks’ of the Van Wyck pattern, Burt County for Van Wyok. Tekamah Burtonian: The issue in the autumn election will be the selection of a ropresentative who will support Se Van Wyck as his own successor believe ‘the representatives ot our own eounty are divided in opinion on this uestion, and Hon.

With hundreds of annual passes in his pocket for the benefit of his friends, and all the gravel trains of the B, & M. at lus con- trol to assist at the primaries, Jim pre- sents a picture of anti-monopolism that would bring a smile to the face of the most despondent granger after a visita- tion of grasshoppers or a destructive hnil storm. ] nd of the People, Plum Creck Herald: We defy anybody to show in the political annals of the United States a more faithful or able ad- voeate of industrial reform, a more sin- cere friend of the people or a more fear- less enemy of robber corporations than Senator Van Wy And yet we find newspapers supported by farmers wh are doing their best to secure his defeat for re-clegtion and the putting n lus stead of some man with but a tithe of s ability and a small per cent of vrestige and worse than all, s man_who is most likely to become the tool of the railroads. When will the farmers of Nobraska cease to be led by their noses by their falso friends under the plea of loyalty to a po litical organization which has been con- trolled for years by the greedy cormor ants of the road_ring? ~If the farmers of Nebraska down Van Wyek it will be construed by the world at large that they profer the rule of corporations to that of the people. Who 1s the Liar? Plainview Gazette: The Omaha Re ublican thinks Senator Van Wyck a liar because Van Wyck said railfoad rates wore four times greater west of the Missouri river than they were east. One ar ago last winter a great deal of grain was shippad west from here, but the ailroad company raised the rates o high west as to compel shinpers to ship to Chicago, although the distance is more twice s It costs nearly one- third as much to get a car loud of Rock Springs coal from Norfolk here as to ship acar load of grain to Chicago. We ha never known the R Tul»] can to advoente any measures of reform for the reiief of the producers, but it has always opposed every measure for the reduction of freight rates, and against discrimination, rve- ates, cte We suppose Van Wyck's enemies would assert the moon to be made of cheese, or the earth to be the devil's head, if Van Wyck were toassert himselt to the coutrar ‘The fact of the corpora- tions, land sk and rings being op- posed to his re-eleetion is the best proof = of his faithfuln, to the intorests of the people. Peaches for Van. The Columbus Jour, leads out with a proposition that Van Wyek and who- ever s to be his opponent in the senator ial fight make a stumping tour through the state. The Omaha Republican takes note of the proposition vy suggesting 1. K. Valentine to be pitted against him as a represetative of thirty or forty contest ants in the field against the 1d man,” whercupon the Blair Pilot offers the fol- lowing: An prraneamant of hiz by “peaches” for Van Wyek W ulupnsniuu m think of Van, or say about him in their organs, none of them, who are possessed with a little grain of common sense, would want to take the chances of tac him on the stump. There are not mules enough in Cuming county to draw Valentine onto a stand to engage in a discussion with Van Wyck Val, hias sense enough himself to know that in such a contest he wouldn't last as long as a snow-ball in the infernal regions. nd would he hatéver the Vet FOOD FRAUDS. The Shameful Use of Lime and Alum in Cheap Baking Powders, Many food frauds, such as chicory coftec or watered milk, although they are a swindle in a commercial “sense,” are often tolerated because they do not par- ticularly effect the health of the consum- er; but when an article like paking pow- der, that enters largely into the food of very family, and is relied u‘pon for the Ithful preparation of almost eyery meal, is so made a8 to carry highly in- jurious, if mot rankly poisonous, elements into the bread to the imminent danger of the entire community, it is the duty of the press to denounce the prac- tice in the most emphatic terms. Among recent tmportant discoveries by the food analysl is that by Prof. Mott, tho S. Government Chen of large amounts of lime and alum in the cheup buking powders. These are, one of the most dangerous, and the other the most useless, adulterants yet found in the low- prade, inferior baking powders. It is a startling fact that over one hundred dif- ferent brands of b powder so far analyzed, comprising rxl‘ those sold in this vicinity, not one of them, with the single exception of the Royal Baking Powder, was found free from both lime and alum, The_ chief service of lime is toadd weight. It 1s true thay lime, when subjected to heat, gives off a certain amount of carbonic acid gas, but a quil lime is left—a caustic so powerful thut it is used by tanners to eat the huir from hides of animals, and in dissecting rooms to more quickly rot the flesh from the bones of dead sub- jects. A small quantity of dry lime upon the tongue, or in the eye, produces pain- ful effects; how much more serious m these effects be upon the delicate mem- branes of the stomach, intestines and kidneys, more particularly of infants and children, and especially when then the lime is taken into the ‘system day after day, und with almost every meal. This is said by physicians to be one of the chief causes of indigestion, dyspepsin, and those painful diseases of the kidneys now so prevalent. Instances of the most erious affections ot the latter organs from drinking lime waters found in some sections of the west are noted in every medical journal. Adulteration with lime is quite as much to be dreaded as with alum, which has heretofore received the most emphatic mnation from every food analyst, physician and chemist, for the r that, while alum is probably partially dissolved and. passed off in "gas by the heat of baking, it is impossible to distroy or change the nature of the lime i; dufiree, 50 that the entire amount baking powder passes, with all its injuri ous properties, into the stomach. Whon we state that the chemists have found twelve per cent., or one-eighth of the en. tire weight of some samples of Imkinr powder analyzed, to be lime, the wigked: ness of the adulteration will be full apparent, ure baking powders are one of the chief aids to the cook in pru‘mring per- feet and wholesome food.” While those are to be obtained of well-established revutation, like the Royal, of whose urity there has never peen and cannot be & question, it 18 proper to avoid all others, The theory that the Indians are de- crensing in number 18 not_sustained by information from Sitting Bull's peopleé During the month of February among those enrolled at Standing Rock, D, T., there were seventeen deaths and wwenty- one births. = * % % Rupture pile tumors and fistulw, amphlet of iculars 10 cents in stamps.
