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

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.

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.
While this lacks the authority of a cen
sus report it is probably nearly accur
al."
