Th staiidiii army of the I'mtn! Stau and the mahtia of the various states would mako a sorry apiearaiK:e before the trained noldiery of other jrreat nutions of the earth. Of course it is not neoensury for this pos-ernment to keep so i.T a! :in nrmv as is deinandisl in the Various nations of tCuroie for a few hours notiee would bring men by the million to the defense of the flat:, but it is nprwsary to have arms and Himinition in rend ness for their use and ships ol ur uiiiiis.t ba built in a few days or weeks, and they, too, must be built even though there is no npsoent danger of war for many years, The important subject of heredity is receiving a good deal of attention by tlie thinking people and "The l -titchexs" has an article in a recent issue of the New York Prem in which hc advocates a reform in marriages. The writer takes tbe ground that jieople afllicted with insanity, Rcrofula, corisumption nd other dihtascs ofliko nature should be Larird Irorn iiaitnmony. 11 is admit ted that it would be very severe on those no very unfortunate aa to be af flicted, out the question is whether the utTering and grief attendant thereto would be as great as would lie the bitter new and remorse consequent upon rais- "ig the seeds of disease and death, and eeing the child of their love dwindling slowly Into tbe grave even before life ' opt ned its full tliauces for it, or worse still, to have their offspring drag ged from their arms to an assylum to nd its days in seclusion, unable to com prehend anything which raises humanity above the level of the lower animals, not even endowed with the ability to re for itself. The article also claims that a Htrict enforcement of such a rule would go far to relieve the human fami ly of much Buffering, both mental and pnyil, and the result would lie of vast benefit to the world at large. The question is one which gives rise to much thought It would require a great deal of moral courage for men or women who have inherited tlie diseases which would be a bar to matrimony and thus make of them what lias been termed Biodern lepers and no such thing could h put into practice except by the most "tringent 1wh, but there is no thinking Pron wlto will not admit that it would a blessing to humanity could such a thing be brought into practice. If hu man nature won not quit so selfish there might be something of the kind occom Phshed but it w ill be found that a great Undertaking ha been taken in hand for "love is blind" and will not hesitate w'n even micli grave obstacles as those Wntioned appear b-twi,cn it and the ob Jt wLkli kiudliil the Otuse.

Fremont Tribune. A resident of Kan Jose, California, writing to the Trih'nf, hits the beet su gar nail squarely on the head, as follow s: "I do not see why manufacturing su gar from" lieets would not lie a paying business in Nebraska. I believe you can raise more tons to an acre than we can here, and nil accounts 1 have seen of their analysis they are fully as high in saccharine matter there as here, and you can buy eight or ten aires of land there for what one would cost here, and they are into the business pretty ex tensively here in places." Heet sugar exierinients in Nebraska can't 1 made any too soon. The bright bow of promise is arched over the sugar licet. Northwestern Nebraska. Tlie question is frequently asked in let ters from people in the east if there is government laud yet to be had in this section of the country. In order that the readers of Thk Journal may have some guide for the reports they give in answer to such inquiries we clip and publish the following from the Chadron Adiiifate, It is probably as near correct as any one can get it, and while it is not claimed to lie exa;t still it shows that there is still room for a good many more people to live and plenty of opjior tunity to secure fine homes from the government: 'Register McCann is preparing some land ofllcs statistics for the use of Pass enger Agent Buchanan. A careful com putation shows that about USO.OOO acres of land in the L'hadron land district is still 0n for entry. The total num ber of acres in the district is 4,424,138.79, exclusive of the Ft. Robinson military reservation. .The Register is also making an esti mate of the numliei of acres actually under cultivation in this district. The assessors' returns are a partial guide, though they are lamentably incomplete on this point. But rrom them anil lus own knowledge the register has made an estimate of the average numlier of acres under cultivation to the township in the four north-west counties as follows: County. Acres per lowiiMinp. iom. cie. 8herid.m 1.250 M,"M awes 1.100 'tO.OoO Box Butte 1.200 4-V'" Sioux 'im.... i'V" This makes a total of lsO.000 acres only that lias felt the edge of the plow in north-wet Nebraska, or an average of low than ten acres er quarter sec lion.
