CALIFORNIA LAN ! ) TROUBLES A few weeks ago wo gave a history t > f the land troubles in Tularo county , California , and our dispatches have from time to time given accounts o the conflicts between officers of the SouthernPacific railroad and the liar ily settlers who were fighting for their homes. The .equity and justice are all 01 ihe ride of tin settlers , but those men who lived ecant'ly on ba ; < < n and beans nhilo transforming the desert law into wheat fields , were nntious t < liave i > eaco and quiet. Their olTur to pay the company 75 per cent of I ho Hchedulo price of tholaudi was reject ed. It is a characteristic trait of all wifclders of monopolies that tho- company should insist on the arbitrary enforcement of * the tcchutca ! rights , imd in this case under the acts of the assembly picked in the interest ol corporations millionaire , Charles Crocker wasfirnj.v _ The 'farmers ' were for conciliation , but the railway com piny had no soul aad the price they finally demanded was only a reduction of 12& per cent. Aa good Und as the settlers took uj can , naw bo purchased in their im mediate vicinity for 50 conta pei ucre , under the deseit laud act , with $1 additional per acre after the land is Improved. Tbe settlers upon the railroad land have spent from $5 to $10 per acre in the work of irrigation. They hav given five years hard work to this am other improvements. They found the lands parched by drought , a howling wilderness. This tbeyhave transformed Into fertile wheat field ? , and whore before white beans would not grow , many of them are this season raising their first successful wheat crop. Now the railroad company grade the land nt an average price of § Ip or § 17 per ncro , and will listen to nothing except n reduction of one-eighth from this price. This is only for ordinary farm ing lands. All the choice property near Hanford is rated at much higher figures. When one considers the rough pioneer work these cottiers have done , and sooa liowj-much th'ey have added to the wealth of the country , , ho is forced to admit that they are entitled not to 25 par cent off the railroad rates , but to a reduction of one-half. There is another phase of the affair : which , however , serves in no sense as n palliation for the crime of oppres- aian on the part of the railway author ities. It is said that the refusal of these officials to effect a compromise : is due to tfie efforts of several settlers on railroad lands In the vicinity of Hanfordwho paid the jjraded rates at the time they took possession of their land. These men , it asserted , have done all in their power to inflame the quarrel between the railroad and the tettlers. It-i : hard enough to * be Kround-aoralj monopoly , but to have one's 'own neighbor-turn > upon you from miserly motives Is Btill worse to ba borne.

The comments ofajthe republican and independent pre'ss'upon _ lhev Chicago cage nominations are ifnlvenallye fa vorable. There has rjcciiho crowteal- ing Mr. Garfield was nbfa candidate " * -fi t 3" for the nomination rSKpr-to the con- volition , aud thereforev''Provokcd no opposition , made no political enemies in hh party and created no antsgo- nisms. The nomination of Gemral Gar Geld was a surprise as much to himself as to his patty. But it WPS in every respect a pleasint and agrceibl } aurprkoj.wjuch.ias.unitcd thc.parly , ranks aud given them now con fidence for1 the'impending- gle. The campaign will bo an aggressive one. General' Gzrfield is a representative republican , aTi'moi of { the people who has fought'his jray , to his present position by sheer force" of indomitable energy nd brilliant talents. H's record as a scholar , soldier"and statesman , is opentfor In spection , andlie challenges the strictest scrutiny of his record. * i * > Thechcice of General Chester A. Arthur , was nn leas fortunate , and was a happy concession to tie ! ptelwatt strength of New York ; It ensures the polling of the entire republican vote of the Empire stale an > l the hearty cooperation - operation of its le.vlors. Wlialeverinay have bern the theoretical grounds of objection to General Arthur among curtain members of the party , his personal and politic * ! integrity is unquestioned. Hs ? administration of the New York custom house was able , energetic , and tcrupulously honest. Any difference between himsulf and the present national administration arose simply from divergent views on matters of party expediency ; not on questions of failure inofficial duly. It is pleasing to note that abroad as well as at homo the Chicago nomina tions meet with the unqualified ap proval of the best and mrst thought ful iniudp , and it is still more gratify ing to know that after the bitter and uncompromising conflict of candidates at the recent convention all cheerfully and earnestly unite in praise of the choice of the party standard bearers. Such unity of sentiment bespeaks a slioulder-to-shouldcr in - - campaign , which all formerly discordant elemen'u will join in supporting and carrying to victory iu November the names of Garfield and Arthur. THE war between the railroads for passenger traffic shows no signs of abatement. There seems to be diffi culties in the way of forming the pro posed passenger pool which the trunk line managers will find it hard to overcome. In the meantime the pub lic is clamoring for increnssd speed between the east and west seaboard , and the gauntlet has been thrown down and taken up by several of the prominent eastern lines. The Balti more & Ohio and Piltsburg & Fort Wayne have added fast trains to their time tubl < > , aud the Lake Shore and Erie will bo compelled to follow'suit. The great objection made by the rail road corporations to such lucroaao of ajisrd is tbo consequent wear and tear upon the road bed and rolling stock. The fact of the matter is that no road could maiutiiu itself on the Atl-ntic seaboard w Inch carried its passengers on the flow-coach plau of the western trunk linos. The public demand but ter accommodation * ! , and if they fail in obtaining them from ono road tlu > y will give their rafronano to that line which is most fully abreast with the ra'lt , id progress of the ago. THE selection of an Ohio man to bo tbo democratic standard bearer al ready scums inevitable. The demo cracy are to well aware of the strong pcKou.il following of Gcu Garfield in his own state to neglect the claims of the several prominent buckeyes with in its party lines. The belief is strong and still growing that Ex Con- gresamanPayue , of Cleveland , is to bo the man , since ho is stated to "stand iu" with Tilden and is regarded as Uncle Sammy'efhoir apparent. Gros- beck , of Cincinnati , also is named , but Payne with a bigger "bac'l" aud Til- den'n support is looked upon as the coming man at Cincinnati. The Illinois democrats iu expressing a preference for Chrkeon N. Potter maniffflt a elesiro to wage war oil the second nuu in the ticket and make him fight Arthur in Now York as Paj-no will Garfield in Ohio. "But with such a ticket the republicans have nothing to fear , but iu any event with good men aud noble principles the republicans are sure of winning against such a ticket. TIIE echoes of the British press on the result at Chicago are generally fd- rorable. The two ablest nnd most uiutious of London newspapers , the Pall Mall Gazelle and the now St. Tames G < KI tie each predict that Gen. Garfmldill be the successor of Presi dent Hayes. As the editor of the latter journal hai said , Englishmen m > dispoicd to view our politics ! lucstions in n conscientious way after areful study. These comments of the victory achieved at Chicago , com ing from auch able editors as John Morley and Frederick Greenwood , nust not be overlooked , for they are ' ho judgment of men with more than lational fame a careful and trained political writers. THE republican press is for the lominees of the Chicago convention. BLACK HILLS NUGGETS.

There is a lirgo force of men at work on the road grade between Lead and Pennington , and the work ia be ing pushed vigosously. Owiurj of the Champion mine ten- stamp mill , Spruce gulch , have bought a twenty stimp mill in Lead City and will uuifc the two. The stockholders of the Deadwood Driving Park association have con tracted for the grading of the track and fencing of the park all to be com- t letcd Juno 18 , and to cost § 2300. v * Along Horsa creek great masses of slate arc tilted up on alt sides , thread ed frequently with quartz veins , while quuU "float" is strewn o\cr the ground profusely. It is a promising field for prospecting. I The Homtstake clean up for May was a little o\er § 1 ,000. The Deadwood - wood will reach over § 47,000 aud the Golden Terra § 05,000. Iho DeSmet will go over § 75,000 and the Caledonia is over § 50,000. The Epi-cop.il ladies of Deadwood have worked hard for a year to obtain a httlo money to build , a chuicb , and now they don't know where to build , and are waitiug thu advent of Biihop Hare , iu order to obtain his advice. Evnrything in Strawberry gulch is reported as looking most encouraging , largo bodies of ore in several different mine ] beiii'4 uncovered that prospect splendidly , nnd only require mills to build np n camp second to none in the Hills. The two-Bit placer mines are still making good clean ups. The claim if yielding front six to ten dolhrs to the liand ; ono iiugptt they got out weighed between two and three pen nyweights ; several smaller ones from ; wenty-five centi to one dollar each. An old Castle creek miner reports -hat ho hai wheeled dirt from ono cf the Canyon City bars and averaged twelve dollars n day for six weeks. Those bars will yield enormously when worked by tha hydraulic method. They are tf great extent embrace ten aero * . The gravel is deep , and prospects from the grass roots down. The Spearfish academy is now as sured of eurcesf. The luinber is all paid for and nearly all on the ground. Ono thousand dollars in good sub scriptions are promi'od for the buildJ ing.Ihe first building will be 30x40 , two stories high , with an assembly room 30x30. It ia hoped to make this only a wing of a more pretentious building as the needs increase. There is now a good road from Sheridan to the new camp of Queen Bee , only seven miles Ion ? , built by an enterprising merchant cf the latter place at bis own expense. It is now a good wagon road all the way , there being - ing no difficulty in moving heavily loaded wagons over it. Before this road was made passable the only way to reach Quetn Bee City from Sheri dan was to go around by Hill City and Tigervills , the distance by that round about way being fifteen mile * . Rapid City will soon have a good system of water works in operation to be buiit by private capital. The wa ter will be brought four miles from Dlammoth spring and is ice cold and almost as soft as rain water. An en gineer is now at work .surveying out the line for the Lying of iron wator- pipes , which will bo burled so deeply that it will never be possible for the flow to be interrupted by extreme cold woather. The volume , the year round , will notf.il ! short of eight hun dred miners' inches. A cemented reservoir is to be constructed on Cem etery hill in the bluffs south of the town , which will have a sufficient ele vation to throw the water by hydraul ic pressure 100 foot above the highest building iu town. The Bittlo Creek Hydraulic com paoy's ground in the Southern Hills , reconlly sold , hns boon put in rhapo for business. The flume , some seven miles in length , to bring the waters uf Battle and Iron creeks into the plactrs , together with a system of rt'Bervoirj , five in number , Ins been contracted toMr. Whoelcck , the archi tect of the Udleudonia mill , and the builder of the Stand-By mill nt Koch- ford. The job will be completed and the water running through the pipes within the next forty days.

The well-known richness of the hills and bars to which this water will bo tnKon , are a guaran tee of the success of the enterprise. Queca Bee City is located en an eli gible flat just below the junction of Spruce and Skull gulches. Ihe first house WUB erected six months ago. There arc now twenty-five or thiity occupied log cabins. It is estimated that there nro now about one hundred men in nnd nround the camp. The placer mines are among the richest over discovered in the llillc , and they arc of great extent over seventeen miles of rich gulch placer deposits about the extent of the producing portions tions of the famous old Alder gulch in Montana. B sides , there are many rich and oitcucivo bar depo&its. The placer fields are extensive enough to give employment to over n thousand miners , with a sufficiency of water to i work them. The principal gulches t are Quern Bee , Spruce , California , Friday ana Marshall. Three hundred c placer claims have far so been recorded c in the district , the claims being 300 \ feet up and down the gulch , and ex- - lending from rim to tim. It has been 1 demonstrated frun actual surveys t that water could bo brought into this t immensely rich placer district Jrom t Castle creek at reasonable figures ; but v the difficulty seems to be to get le nl a control of the current of Castle cre'ek s for this purpose. o A Trunk Line Passenger Pool Formed. American Exchange , Juno 4. L An important meeting of the presi dents of the trunk lines was held in this city yesterday , Trunk line com missioner Fink , Mr. Hugh J. Jewett , president of the Now York , Lake Erie and western railroad company ; Mr , George D. Roberts , presid.-ntof the Pennsylvania Railroad company ; Mr. John \V. Garrett , president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad com pany , and Mrv\V. K. Vanderbilt , representing the .Row York Central ar.d Hudson River Railroad company , present. After the consideration and settlement of some minor questions , the meeting decided to "pool" the re- cpTpts of the trunk Hues from compe titive passenger business , east-bound nd west-bound. The details of the ; pooling agreement were left to be ar . ranged by subordinate officials , but it ivas agreed to accept the busincsi of L878 sa the basis for the settlement of > ho percentages of the different roads , rhe pool is to take effect from Jnne 1. ) L880. L880.Tho The action of the railroad presi- L ienls was commented upon last night y ra'lroad men as being very impor an . There ras never been a pool of , .ho passenger business'heretofore on iccaunt of the many difficulties and iomplications wh.ich woujcl attend it , ind also because of the lack of harmo- jy between the rival lines. For more nan the last yoar. however , the quo- bus undo lon * - ' - " iwn beep ? d CHi the railroad , managers , but apparently little progress was made toward its settlement The attempt to interest the west railroads in the matter was finally abandoned , as their representa tives urged that the trunk lines should first successfully establish a pool among themselves before striving to extend its operations to all their onn- uectlous. If the present scheme is carried out it is believed tiat it will ultimately load to the adoption of a general passenger pool as comprehen sive in its extent as the freight poo1. Bailroad men admir , however , that there are almost innumerable obsta cles In the way of a satisfactory passan- tjer pool , by reason of the difference in the character of the passenger basi- nesH from that of the freight traffic. It is , of course , intended that the trunk lines shall abolssh the pay men' of commissions for securing busine ? under the operations of the new pool aud the thoroughness of organization and the wide influence of tbo pisson gt-r ticket "scalpers" are acknowledget to ba another grjat difficulty necces sary to bo overcome baforo such a pee can bo sudcessful. . The "scalpers' and ticket broker * will contott to the utmost the carrying out in good faUl of the pooling scheme , and it has been proven in the past that their operation were cjnnivcd at by some promineu railroad managers for the sake of sba ring in the profits obtained in thoii business at the expense of the roaela It waa Impossible last ntgbt to obtain information regardmg'tho exact per contsge of each road under the new pool , qut it is said the percentages will be more nearly equal than those in the freight pool. The Klvor nnd Harbor Bi'l. ' Glubc-Lemucmt. ) The averaeo congressman always endeavors to do something for his constituents , for the ro on that what ever labor ho expends in that behal ; is really work for himself. Ho ia always that hi- ways under the impression constituents need something from the governmen , and he is always ready to accommodate other congressmen whoso constituents are equally neces sitous. The most ready means by which congressmen have been able to magnify their importance at home , has hitherto been a liberal clamor for an expenditure of public money for the ostensible benefit of their own particular districts. There is a cer tiin bill which comes bef < re congress at every session , which , by common consent , has been inter- terpreted to mean a combined appol on the part of individual gentlemen holding J seats in congress to themselves in j the aggregate , to appropriate a cer tain amount of money from the na tional ; treasury in order to give them the standing at home which they crave. Every congressmen feels himself bound 1 to do something for his constit uents that is to say forhJmself-by getting j an appropriation of public money i to be expended in his district. Hence it is that while there is a fierce fight I over certain small economies of the 1 government , when it comes _ to a big 1 steal in which every individual congressmen is about equally concern ed , there is no difficulty in pacing it. There two * methods of bleed- inztha national treasury upon which congressmen ara generally united , for the reason that both of them , if suc cessful , are a cheap porchwe of per sonal popularity. Probably the chief measure which the average congress man has at heart is to get the United States to start a building somewhere in his district. That venture , how ever , generally faih. He-generally succeeds in havirg his bill referred to the proper committee , and his constit uents are loft to blame congress , in stead of himself , f r the cruel manner In which the committee sits down upon it. But there ia a regular approprh- tion bill which congress is always call- eel upon to consider , and in this the average congressman has another chance of benefiting his constituents that it , to say himself. Having made his preliminary effort to secure a public building in his dietriet , the average congressman falls luck on the river and harbor bill as a elernier resort - sort to give himself standing with his c n tituvnts. This year ho has plied hia vccitiem with rcuurkablo success The river and harbor appropiia'ios bill as It passed the house appropriated about § 8,000,000 , which is a larger sum by § 2,000,000 than was over np- propriatsd before for a similar pur poao. It is not a very largo appropri ation for the purpcso of river ami h r- bor improvements. It would not be difficult to designate several points where the government could profitably expenel that- amount in the interest of commerce. But the increased appropriation is net founded on tbo wants of cjmmerce. It has grown solely from the mutual atempts of Congressmen to make po litical capital among their constitu ontw. The great Misissippi River has received no more consideration , thau say forty creeks which water tbo ia vines of the eastern and western slopes of the Alleghanics. For instance , there is § 15,000 appropritateel for the improvement of tbo Shcnandoah a river which can not bo made naviga ble by an expenditure of § 15 000,000. The river and harbor bill , however , went to tbo Senate , anel its appropria"- tions were increased by § 2,000,000 llio Republican Pmtform. New York Tribune. It is a significant circumstance that iu the midst of the excitement feVer the proceedings of the Chicago con vention , so little has been heard of conjecture or discussion as to the character of the platform. The con vention had first to settle n question wo do not say of greater importance but of more immediate importance than the formal declaration of the par ly policy. The real point at issno in the preliminary trials of strength was whether the convention should bo nn assemblage of the authorized repre sentatives of the republican masses , or x packed body composed of tbo agents of a few republican "bosses , " notori ously not in hwrnony with the voters. Until this was settled it could not bo iffirmed that the convention had any title to speak for the republican party. Now that the true representative character of the convention has been happily established , we tuin to tha platform with the knowledge that it is the authoritative expression of the sentiments of the great body of re publican voters. Fortunately there lias been no great doubt as to what it would contain. The party is substan tially united on all the principal issues a of the time. Its purposes 'are well Icfinod. It has no blunders to apolo gize for , no heresies to recant , no schism * to dread , no difficulties to jvade by a farrago of words meant to larken counsel. It can turn back to is declarations published four years igo , with the proud consciousness hat it has been faithful to tbo pledges .hen madethatevents have vindicated U wisdom , and that the vast gain fhich the country has made in pros- enty since President Hayes came into iffico is traced directly to the financial olcy of the republican party. In nest respects the platform of 1880 is cloro copy of that of 187G , save that uuch of what wo promised four years goto undertake we can refer to now ,1 a'raady accomplished. The con- ention which nominated President layes pronounced it the duty of the lational government to discharge its to its creditors , bnild up he national credit , and restore pros- r lerily by ft spcody return to ipeola inatea President Hayes' Buccewor con gratulates us upon a currency redeem ed , credit strengthened ! griculture , commerce , and manufactnres ttoarish * ing , and general prosperity ret b- lished. All this has been effected by republican legislation and the firm and prudent management of the finances by a republican administration. The praise of President Hayes Is well bestowed. It ia long since the atmosphere of the White House has boon so pure and the general tone of the executive branch of the govern ment so dignified as during his term of offica. Able , honest , high-minded , patriotic , sincere , he has kept not only himself but those around him free from the brcith of scandal. He hai administered his trust with an t | evident regard for the rights and the welfare of all sections of the country alike ; and whenever the occaaion.has arisen , he has proved himself a sturdy defender of the principles of his party. A forcible arraignment is made of the democratic party for his hibhual sacrifice of patriotism and justice to its insatiable lust for office and patronage. The specifications under this general charge are severe , but no candid man can say they are not warranted by the conduct of that party during very recent years Its efforts to destroy the freedom and'purity tf the ballot , to seat congressmen whom the people htvo refused to elect , to steal the en tire state government in Maine , to block the whaels of the national government , to nullify national laws and to cultivate the spirit of the re bellion in order to solidify the south , make this plank in the platform as just and appropriate as it is scathing. The clauses respecting education , polygamy , Chinese immigration , etc. ; repeated from the platform of 1876 , give fresh emphasis to the views which are we1 ! known to prevail among re publicans. Upon no part of the plat form has there been any dissension among the delegates , or any occasion for compromise end shifty phrases. The republicans know just where they eland. Happy is the party which has so litt'e ' to explain in Itt past , and so little ueod to promise now things for tke futuro. It ? acts have spoken for it. RAILWAY NOTB8.

He showed hem all uver his wonderful realm , And factories making ; goods for women and men. Furriers were working on haU great and small. To Bunco's they said they were sending them all. Kris Kinicle , the Glove Maker , told them at once , All onr Gloves we are sending to Dunce , Santa showed them suspenders and many thlnys mere. Baying I alse took th se to f ritnd Bunco's store. Santa Clans then whispered a secret be'd tell , As In Omaha every one knew Bonce well. He therefore should send his goods to bis care , Knowing his friends win get their full sh.are.

A WORD TO THOSE WHO USE POROUS PLASTERS , H Is a unlreifnlljackowledged fart tint BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS ARE SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS. The great demand for them has caused a number of unscrupu lous parties to make and sell worthless imitations under similar sounding names. As the market is flooded with inferior pias ters selling at any price it is important for the consumer to know Which is the best. It is well known that some of the cheap plasters have been examined and found to contain in jurious ingredients which make them dangerous to use , causing paralysis and other diseases.
