In tbe tame paper be declared that "every country permitting paper to be circulated, other than that by public authority, would end in bankruptcy. In other word, the only safe and legiti mate paper money I that which I emit ted by authority of the government and bottomed on the taxable wealth of the nation." Anion on the 1 1th of September, lHlo, he atill further elucidated hi plan for a trovernmcut paper money, alway avail able in time of need, and ample enough to meet every emergency. Ho said: " The (mention will be nuked, and ougtit to be looked at, what I to be the re source if loan cannot be obtained? There i but one. 'Carthiuro delenda eat Itu.uk paper tnuat be suppressed and the circulating medium must be re- stored to the nation, to whom it be long.

It will be observed that .Thomas .Jef ferson favored a national paper currency "bottomed on the taxable wealth of the jounfry" with nover a word about money of ultimate redemption. That i the kind of money the populist party is flgh ting for today. Jules we mlatuke tbe temper of It member it will never abandon the fight. It will never com promise upon the platform presented for thu democratic party by the World- Herald "a financial system having a it basis gold and silver which sMould be the money of ultimate redemption and with which all money should be finally redeemed." it doen't believe in the humbug of swapping dollar. It be lieve that money I made by the edict of a reponible government and that all United State money "should be en dowed with equal right and treated in all respect alike by the government which iued it. These are "populist moorings." They are the doctrine of Thomas Je'ferson, sanctioned by tha action of Abraham dneoln, certified to by the greatest financial economists, strengthened by the observation and exjierienco of year and adopted at St. Louis, July T2, 1 HM in the form of the following declaration: I. We demand a national money, safe and sound, issued by the general govern ment only, without the intervention of bunk of issue, to be a full leua! tender for all debts, public and private, n just equitable and efllnient mean of distri bution direct to the people, and through the lawful disbursement of the govern ment.

The NebroskaSupreme court last week sustained tbe new school land law passed by tbe legislature of 1837. This luw has beeu commented upon in these column hitherto. It provides that here after none of tbe school land of Nebras ka shall be sold, but that they shall be held perpetually by tbe state and leased. Some material changes were also made in the manner of leasing, designed to so cure better revenue from these land for the public schools. Under the old law the holder of a school land lease bad tbe right of pur chase at the appraised value which in. no case could be less than f 7 per acre. The new law took away the right of purchase. The test case wa brought from Paw nee county by a bolder of a lease who claimed tbat a the lawat tbe time of making the leoee pormittod him to pur chase the land tbat a repeal of the law could not deprive bim of that right. Tbo following is tbe syllabus of the supreme court opinion in tbe cue: State ex rel Patterson vs. Wenzi. Er ror from Pawnee county. Affirmed Opinion by Commissioner Rugan. 1 he right of a lessee of state school land are to be determined by the law in force governing the leasing of school lands at tbo date of execution of this lease. '2. Tbe act of 187!) granting to les sens of school lund the privilege of pur chasing tbe Mume at private Male wa a mere offer or option to such lessee which the state might withdraw at any. time before it acceptance by a leasee whoso lease antedated the passage of ucu act. 't, Tlio remedy by mandamus rests upon the legal rights of the relator upon one hand and tbe legal obligation and duties of the respondent upon the other; it cannot be predicated solely upon tbe equities existing between tbe parties, 4. Uy ection 1, chapter 71, law of 1807. the state intended to and did withdraw from sale all its unsold and unleriMcd school laud, and the school lands leased prior to the taking effect of the act of 187!), tbe lessee of which had not availed themselves ol the privilege of purchasing prior to taking effect of the act of 18D7. This decision of the supreme court -tablislios the future policy of Nebraska with reference to her school land un ion a future legislature repeal the act of 18!)7. A this is a subject of vast im portance to tbo schools of Nebraska, present and future, it is well to take an Inventory of it significance. Out of a total of near three million aero of school land in Nebraska tbe state has sold very near a million acres. Two million ncre aro unsold. Of this about 3t)0,000 aero are vacant bring ing in no revenue. Tho remainder i under lease. The lease money is a grout deal the largest item going to make up tbe semi-annual apportionments of school mouey sent out from tbe state trcusury to the various counties of tbe state in June and December. We are proud of the great increase of this apportionment under tlio faitliTuI management of school lands and fund by tbo present populist officials. If tbe policy now startad and sustained by thesupreme court of band- ling these land is muiutuined iu the course of the next twenty-five years the apportionment of school money will not bo doubled but possibly multiplied ten fold. This is easily demonstrated. 1 1 another twenty-five year the averuge rental value of the state school land will easiiy bo fl per acre per year. Tho two million ucres of school lauds will t ien bring in a revenue of two million d illars a ycur. The origiual design in setting mide two sections in ouch township of lund for the support of the common ncIiooIs wu that tho revenue from thee two section would support the school iu tbe township. With good management they would have done it and furnished easy figuring beside. Take 1280 acres ol land iu eastern Nebraska today. At fl.oO pr acre it would produce fli20 school money every year. That would supply the townnhip with six good country schools for six month in thu ycur at a cost of f .10 je r month and li'Mve I20 for incidentals. Most of the wewtera Mate which received large grnutsof laud soldi hehtitnd and squan dered the money.
