8 i ti "Ttuout tor a suitable candidate tor representative? We have a number of excellent men, but whether any of them can be induced to run is a question. While "ve would like to have a good man, one who would be a credit to the county and state, we can favor a man only who is a straight republican and will pledge himself in electing a United States senator, to vote for the caucus nominee as long as there is a reason able show of election. There is no impropriety in making such a pledge and in fact it is eminently proper. In these times when so man' are masquerading in the garb of reform ers, farmers1 friends, communists (alias greenbackers) who are appar ently willing to lay down their lives fighting to restore to the dear people the liberties which have been filched from them and trampled in the dust, we hope and expect that every man will show his true colors. No one can afford to be looked upon with suspicion. Ever7 true republi can is on the side of law, order and -ood government. As such let us work with a will and triumphantly Vindicate our principles in the elec tion of such men as will carry them into effect. -y The bill repealing the pre-emption, timber culture and desert land laws has passed the house and it is believed will speedily pass the sen ate, there being no serious opposi tion to the measure this year, nearly everybody having made up their minds it is best for the country. With only the homestead law by which you can acquire title to gov ernment land, the business of the land offices will be greatly reduced, and the occupation of land attorneys and others who thrive by making out papers and locating will, to a very large extent, go "where the woodbine twineth." We will then have an era of peace and Jeffer sonian simplicity pleasant to behold. UNION PACIFIC LANDS. Leavitt Burnham, who has been land commissioner of the Union Pacific Railway Company for the past eight years, has retired from the service of the company, being succeeded by Mr. George M. Cum ming, of Duluth, recently assistant general land commissioner of the Northern Pacific. In his new posi tion he will have charge of the Union Pacific lands in Nebraska, Wvoming and Utah, the Kansas m , p : . ,i have been readily sold. In Utah the land lying within the grant is much broken, and will not be fit for much of anything unless it turns out mineral." ''What was the largest single sale of land ever made by the Union Pacific?" "The largest sale was made in lSS4to the Wyoming Central Land and Improvement company, of Lara mie. They bought 600,000 acres at 1 an acre, the company being com posed of farmers and ranchmen who had settled in the immediate vicin ity of the land in question and de sired to buy them. A sort of a co operative company was formed and the land purchased at the figures named. To-day the lands are paid for and a small dividend besides has been realized on the investment. The farm lauds are of course irri gated." Mr. Burnham then spoke of the wonderful progress made by Ne braska and the northwest since his first view of it in 1S(V7. He then connected with the ment land survev at a time when most of Nebraska was in- a wild con dition and farming was not5 dreamed of further west than 150 miles from the Missouri river. , "Now," said Mr. Burnham, "agriculture is suc cessfully practiced 400 miles from here and time can only tell the pos sibilities of the country beyond." Mr. Burnham will retire from office to-morrow evening, but will remain in Omaha where he has made his home for years, and is now interested. What he will do in the future he has not yet determined, but he will probably engage in busi ness here. was govern- POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.
