Tmk men who stood up for D.
K. Thompson in his senatorial
light seem to be "in it" in receiv
ing' federal appointments. Dur
ing the past week L. Liiidsey
was appointed surveyor of cus
toms at Lincoln and A. 15. Kcn
nard was given the Lincoln land
office. Uoth these men were
staunch supporters of Thompson
and their (appointment is their
reward for their labor. It looks
very much as though the fellows
who opposed Thompson don't
stand much show of getting
their finger in the federal pie in
the South Platte country.
Thic Lincoln News tells an in
teresting story ancnt IJartlcy and
the missing state funds to the
effect that Hartley will seek to
recover a large portion of the
money with the pnrposc in view
of returning it to the state treas
ury. It is stated that there arc
many prominent and ambitious
men in the state who have had
the use of money all these years
who would not like to have it
known that they have been con
nected in any way with the miss
ing funds und- would pay up
rather than stand exposure at
this time when public sentiment
would show them very little con
sideration. Supposedly, top,
IJartlcy will aim to protect Gov
ernor Savage, whose reputation
has already been destroyed by
the issuing'of the pardon.
Mil 15 Iowa Homestead says:
We wonder to how many readers
it occurs to think of the import
ancc of the United States in
dustry in proportion to its pop
ulation. We number less than S
per cent of the population of the
world, yet we produce 78 per
cent of all the cotton that the
world grows, 75 per cent of the
corn, 30 per cent of the wheat,
26 per cent of the oats, 2f per
cent of the hay, 38 per cent of
the meat, 27 per cent of the
butter and cheese, SO .per cent of
the eggs, 12 per cent of the wool.
Indeed taking the agricultural
productions of the world as a
whole, we grow pretty nearly SO
per cent of it. This is quite a
good showing for 5 per cent of
the people of the world to make,
especially when only about four
tenths of this five per cent sire
engaged in making the pro
duction.
Tine Fremont Tribune states
that persons interested in hav
ing a denial of certain important
factsi' concerning the efforts to
hayc Joe Bartlcy pardoned went
to ex-Governor Poynter a few
days ago for that purpose. It
had been reported that he had
been offered thirty thousand
dollars to issue a pardon for
IJartlcy. The inquirers wanted
to know if it was true. The ex-
governor replied that the report
was both truo and untrue as to
the amount offered, which was
thirty-live thousand dollars in
stead of thirty thousand. Of
course Governor Poynter may
be stretching his story, but it is
not probable; and whether he is
or not, there is a general belief
that there was a large corruption
fund to be used to secure Hart
ley's pardon, in any manner ad-
tsable, by purchase of governors
ur otherwise. Kearney Hub.

It is said there is yet 600,000,
000 acres of public land, u small
portion of this can be irrigated
and made to raise feed to help
winter and fatten the stock
which ranges on the balance of
it.
From whence comes the de
mand that the government shall
make some disposal of the public
and? It comes from the large
cattle Companies of which a per
cent of the stock is held by
foreigners. And what has
caused ,jthcm to utter this de
mand? It is not because they
desire to pay the government for
the use , of land. But because
the smallstockmcn who arc home
builders and taxpayers arc
slowly but surely pushing them
toward the brink over which
they realize they must soon pass
into oblivion, unless they can
creep behind the skirts of gov
ernment, and secure its protec
tion. This question should not
be settled by the needs of the
present hour. These 600,000,-
000 acres belongs to the next
generation for homes. All oyer
the stock raising country wherc
evcr these small ranchmen arc
found there are from one to
three boys in each family who
are now tending their father's
stock. These boys arc the stock
men of the futu.c, when of
age tney start with a small
bunch of stock of their own and
go out into the unoccupied public
lands i. c. unoccupied by homes,
take a homestead and range their
stock on the public land around
them, and this is the destiny of
the dry plains. If left alone as
it now is, this inevitable march
of home builders will finally
close out the syndicates and put
the aliens off the public lands,
and this, they know.
To save themselves the lease
bill under consideration has been
put forward, and under its pro
visions thculargc outfits calcu
late to be able to get a legal ihold
on the ranges, which will make
it possible for them to hold the
people back' and drive them off
the public lands with the mailed
hand of government. The
thousands of small stockman
over the west; who arc opposed
to this should wake up and be
heard from. Do not sleep on
your rights. This is no party
question.
Under the contemplated law,
immediately upon its passage,
every foot of the public lands
will pass from control of the gov
eminent lor ten years, with
piivilcgc to renew. Where, then,
will the coming generation find a
chance to take out a claim and
make a home? As I said 'before,
natural conditions and the pro
visions of this law practically
nullify the homestead law, and
that is also the intention.
Some i public men have ex
pressed the opinion that the
sooner the government gets rid
of the public land the better.
Not so. Conserve the public
lands? Not a single acre should
pass fro m the govcrmcnt except
by homestead. The fellow
who never warmed a saddle or
turned a cow has no right to
draw a revenue from the public
land and those brave men and
women who face the perils and
hardships of the ranges should
be the beneficiaries. Chicago
