RAILWAY GRANTS.
flic Southern Xcific lluihoad Com
pany lia recently male application to
the sccretar tor land originally granted
to the Tcxs Pacific ltaihod Company
for the construction of its load. These
lauds are chained by virtue of an as-
oincnt from the Texas Pacific Com -
pauv which has tailed to construct the
road for which the grant was made,
and the basis of the claim is in this re
spect similar to that on which the Xew
Orleans and Pacific Railroad Company
was recently awarded a portion of hinds
granted originally to the llatou ltouge
and Yicksbnrg company. The facts in
that case were that the last named com
pany constructed part of its road, and
then assign ed its grant to the Xew Or
leans and Pacific Company, which com
pleted the lhic. Tho Attorney General
ia an opinion rendered last July, de
cided that the Xew Orleans and Pacific
Company was entitled to lands lying
along that portion of Ihc read it had
eon.-li acted. The principal difference
between f lie ca-c decided by the Attor
ney General and th? ca.-e of tlie South
ern Pacific Company is, that the road
for i ho const i ui lion of which the grant
is claimed bythc Southern Pacific Com
panv was built pi "or to the date of as
Miimffiit of the giant. The Sjuilcrn
Pacific v. a organ:?ci as a rival of tho
! IVxr.s Pacific, and undeitook to bund a
compctirg line, and it objected to the
granting of lands to the I it ter company
and to the indoiscmeut of its londs by
the government. Since the failure; how
ever, t the Texas Pacific to build its
ri ad it l assigned its grant to the
Si,i-,;licrn Pacific. A decision will not
be leached in the case for several days,
but thtc is reason lo believe that when
it is rendered it wiil be nd verso to the
claim of the company last named. The
grant of , laud in dispute aggregates bc-
twecnp,000,000 and 18,000,000 acres.
Kentucky Itepuhlicaiis.
The Republican fcjiale C'oucntion of
Kentucky has net Mr. Iknii "Waterman
Mr. Caili.-h-, Mr. Peck and the lcade:s
ol the bt.uib'.n j ai'y f that stale, an
cxan:plo ia tl.e wny of making up plat
furuis which those w oi t liy ! 1 abators of
deiio.ci iicy would do w ell lo re member.
The follow ing ae the certain, rieging
declarations of the followers of the
righteous cause of republicanism in the
"llliu; (i'itas.s'' state:
m I hat it is the duty of the state to pro
vide free schools for all the children of
the state; that all constitutional means
id ou'd be ((! to compel parents to
give tlu ir e hiM.cn the benefits of an
ediici.tion : thai Me favor the adjustment
of a tai "itf that will o.ily provide a rev
enue sidiicicn: to dcfniy the expenses of
of the government, but afford just a
reasonable protection to the industrial
classes of our courtry without being
oppressive to t lie ngi ieulturid and other
interests of our people; we recognize
the fact the :meckors of some of Ken
tucky's nol.le.t and most patriotic citi
zens had t heir birth place in the green
inle of E'in, and wc ciend to the suf
fering people of Jrelaud our warui"St
sympat hies.
It will be seen, upon the cause of edu
cation, the parly demands free schools
for all the children of the state and
tree use of those schools compelling the
parents to permit their children to en
joy the blessings of the same.
They arc in favor of a tariff for reve
nue, sufficient to defray Ihe expenses
ol'the govt i rim nt; and, at the same
time, flibid jut and reasonable protec
tion to the classes of the country with
out Wing oppressive to the agricultu
ral and other interests of the people.
They extend to the suffering people
of Ireland their warmest sympathies.
These are manly utterances and show
that the republican parly of Kentucky
propose to meet the democracy of that
state bcfore.lhc peopl", where this tariff
question will have to be met by the
"tariff for revenue only" advocates.
It is said a s'.ror.g nomination was
made for Governor in the person ol
Hon. Thomas Z. Morrow and the re
publicans of Kentucky feel confident of
great gains in that hereioloie hopeless
ly bourbon state.

S-th P. Moblcy, of the C.raud Is
l.md Independent, come- out in a man
ly manuer and say he ' can Hve with
out a post office, but he would not like
to live without a re"; cbl'can paity'
That is the sensible view io take of the
little disappointments that aie sure to
meet gentlemen in the political arena;
hard gloves and bure knuckles in the
ring, always result in some fellow get
ting "knocked out" unless the "Perl ice"
interfere; and, iu polities, that individ
ual is always conspicuously absent
about the time some fellow is getting
in chancery. Mr. Moblcy wiil th'nk
mo "C of himself now, and h's fneuds
will think more of him, since he has
shown that his Hood and manhood
raise him above the bitterness of defeat;
for tuch men there is always better
things in store.
EXPRESS ROBBERY.
. TheCnited States Express Company
wa3 robbed at Cleveland, yesterday,
of some $15,000, The job was done so
slick and easy it looks a little like the
"VVasson robbery the other day in Texas,
The messenger stepped aside to see a
man, when the- robbers took the ex
press paek:u;vs, leaving iu their place
packages exactly similar in appear
ance. The trick was not discovered
until the packages were taken to the
company's offices,
NEWS CLIPPINGS.
There is every indication that the
iron workers east and west will strike
on June 1. They insist upon the main
tenance of the scala of wages paid the
past year, which the employers claim
it is impossible to pay. The men also
favor a shutting down of the rolling
mills during the summer months,
which manufacturers will not agree
to.
The Italian government is in a crit
ical state, the ministers of public
work3, and justice and ecclesiastical
affairs having resigned. The cause for
this action is dissatisfaction with the
recent course of Prime Minister De
pretis. A stormy mass meeting wa3
held iu Home Sunday,- at which the
demagogue Deputy Coccapieller urged
the crowd to proceed to the Quirinal
and leijuest the King and Queen to as
sume the leadership of the movement
in favor of a universal exhibition to be
held in Home. The police prevented
the carrying out of this plan by force.
Mrr-. Myra Clark Gaines has gained
another step in an important case
against the city of Xewr Orleans. This
is a decision of Judge Billings, not
only confirming the report of the mut
ter in chancery in her favor with re
gird to certain property bought fifty
years ago by the city from her father,
Daniel Clark's executors, and since sold
under warranty but increasing the
amount of her claim to 81,925,607.
The city appeals to the United States
Supreme court, where more, than one
of .Sirs. Gaines' cases have .gone, gen
erally resulting in a victory for the in-
7i
i
defatigablo woman. Mrs. Gaines has
long since passed tho stacje where the
desire for jiHtico animated her, und
she is now simply possessed with tho
passion for litigation.
Three distinct cyclones visited Kan
sas City and the adj icent country be
tween 1 and 5 o'clock Sunday, Itlth
inst. The third of the series was the
most destructive. Beginning a few
miles southwest of the city, it moved
north ward, parsing through tha west
ern portion of the city, and extended
to Randolph, five miles below on the
Missouri river. Three persons were
kilhd and as many more mortally
wounded, and property to the value of
Syyo.oOO or more was destroyed. A
brick church, within which a Sunday
school had leen assembled less than
half an hour before the storm came,
was crushed in by the force of the
wind. Mnmerous' 'small towns were
visited by the "t-lorm, dwellings and
public buildings being damaged or de
stroyed, and in several instances loss
of life was occasioned. At Macon
C:ty live persons were killed and ten
or fifteen injured. Several of those
wounded at Kansas City cannot recov
er. At Oronago the cyclone demol
ished all the buildings save one, killed
or fata'ly injured five persons, and
wounded fhty others.
