The school land grant east of the

designed, to save . this . beneficent gift,
and make it of immense, value to the
children of future , generations. As

school lands within them are apprais
ed, appraisals having been made in

. valued at &7 an acre and over, are

be kept until tha price, is brought up to
that figure. If the provisions of this

predict,, our school fund will, amount to

THE tASD QUESTION
Appears to be the one of all absorbing
interest to the people of Nebraska just
now We are the possessors of n large
amou.it of land, and the question is
what are we to 'do with it. All will
agree thit thess lands should be so dis
posed of as to be of the greatest ben
efit la the State. Some . advocate giv
ing them to railroad companies, ether
say sell them ta actual settlers and give
the proceeds to the building of rail
roads', and still ethers advocate uing
the lauds or proceeds of their sale
for i lie purpore of making wagon roads
and bridges, and Jet the railroads take
care of themselves ; and yet others ad
vocate the division of the proceeds
among the several counties, and let
them iie their d liferent nor'.ions for
such improvements as 'hey see propar.
It does not look like any mo.hud could
be devissd that would give satisfaction
to all, nnd yet all claim to have the one
object" in' view that:-tf greatest bene
fit to tie State. Has it occurred to any
one that ve are. Dot compelled, by any
statute or common law, to either sell or
give away these lands, at ' the present
time ? There is one thing which should
be done, however v.beptr . the , lands
are used for railroad purposes or for
wagon, roads and bridges whether
they are divided among the connties'or
given away in a body, or . whatever is
done . with them, and that is they should
be opened up for settlement. . A large
majoiity of the State lands are located
where' it is a great draw-back to the
State to keep them tied up frora ihe
set'Ier, and .ihe settlement of thrifty
farmers on these land would be fa
greater ' benefit to the State thari the
acres themselves. Whaterer el.se is done
. , 1 ; .
placed in such shape as will enable the
ac'.ual settler to gel -hold of them in
reasonab'e tracts.' '
'POLITICAL OROAXIZATIOX.
It is a well settled principle withjtU
miVepubiicaus. or lovers of .a true
Republic, that this Government should
be administered strictly in accordance
with the will of the people that is a
majority of them. While this is nomin
ally the case, we are oftentimes con
strained to believe that it is not so in
reality. The trouble arisesat the very
fountain head of the system in select
ing the candidates. After the cauJi
dates are before the people there is
little doubt that they will choo3e to suit
themselves; but 'the men whom a ma
jority of the people would desire to see
elected are very often no: brought ou
a3 candidates. at:d why? Simply re
cause the present system of 'nominat
ing candidates is often made use of by
j designing men to thwart the will cf the
people and to secure the nomination of
some favorite, tegardless of hi quali
fication or his integrity. How is this
to li'i remedied? This question has
i ...
1 p-nI M fl t A ! 11 -nn nil hrntj,l mon tea
the necessity of a remedy. The ob
ject is to obtain in any and all parties,
a fair and unbiased c-xpressiou of the
people composing the pany in the se
lection of candidates. We have tho't
and read much upon this subject, and
find no more practical method than ihat
of allowing every member of the party
to vote direct by ballot, for the man he
prefers as a party candidate for any
office. This cannot be done in conven
tion, but it can be dene at the usual
places of holding elections in each pre
cinct, ar.d the returns made out, signed
and sealed by judges appointed for
that purpose, and forwarded to the
Chairman of the County Central Com
mittee, whose duty it would be, in con
nection with the other Committee men,
to canvass the returns from the several
precicctt, and declare the person re
ceiving the greatest number of votes
for any office the duly nominated can
didate of the party. We believe this
date.
It might be safci in opposbion to I
this. plan thai, tbe wote would be divided i
up between so many different candi- i
dates for nomination that even a s-mall !
mvnority might select the candidate.
We admit that this rnighi be the case ;"
bjt the people would soon learn who
were llke'y to be strong candidates, and
lo not throw . their votes away upon
such as there were no probabilities of
selecting. They would soon learn to
depend upon their own judgement
and the judgement cf the people is
generally better than that of interested
politicians. We invite discussion upon
this subject, with a view to its adoption
in Nebraska. Is our plan good, or is
it bad ? Will it work ia Nebraska.and
shall we adept it ?

they have paid strict a'tentmn to the
coa: fields cf Coloriido and Wyoming,
where they found cukI covering tbous
ands of acres, from live to fifteen feet
in thickness. The Urmn Pacific Rail
road runs through some of the best f

operation, it bein2 a down grudff from
