Nomaha e unity , the garden county
of Nebraska , is undergoing a sort of
revolution , politically and socially.
Wo cannot toll the outcome of it
"No kuowoth these "
man thing * .
Entering the county at the northeast -
east corner by way of the .Nebraska
ra'lway , I first found Pom , the so it
of the Nebraska Suite Normal school
This being a mnall town , I was ver\
much worried ever our prospects in
the hotel line , as the movement of
tr.iiiiscompelled mo toroinnm hero until
morning. Imagine my joy then to
find hero ono of the best-in.inaged ho-
tola which I have over seen in a
country town. A good bed and meals
which make a traveler wish that he
could oat enough to lust his whole
trip , so that ho could give ordinary
hotels the "go by. "
During the evening 1 called on Mr
Curry , the prmcip.il of the norm.il
school , lie reports a better begin
ning this yc.ir th.in ever before , and
predicts a gr.ind future for the insti
tution , lie docs not think , as does
the iirinoip.il of the blind institute at
Nebraska City , that his school is
well provided for and supplied
with all the needs , but yet he
reports a good hci inning in the
vv.iy of philosophical and chemical np-
par.itus , the nucleus of n collection of
geological specimens and a libr.iry ,
which , thouuh mnall , contains aoino
excellent works. The buildings are in
a commanding positicm , are conven
iently and substantially built , and are
worth about § 50,000.
Travelling south a few miles I
c.imo to Brownsville , ono of the oldest
towns in the state , and the present
county sc.it. Everything seems to be
dead hero , and almost ready for bur
ial , h.irdly any one to bo seen at their
olllces or on tliu streets , all kcupmt ;
out of sight of thu universal dullness
which prevails.
1 called upon the lion. W. A. Pol
lock , ono of the veterans of Nebraska
politics , and vv.is very pleasantly en-
tort.iincd , with a description of No-
malm county politics ( on which the old
gentleman's views are very cle.ir ) nnd
some renioniscoiiBcs of the old times ,
when he first foimcd the acquaintance
of the editor of TIIK BUB , on , i Mis
souri river steamboat , in war timesas
she was tied up rep.uiing her rudder
A drive of tivo miles over a hilly
ro.id brings us to Nemaha City ,
a very pretty little town of
about 300 people. Business seems
livelier here than at lirownville , but
the goner.il talk is all the while about
Calvert , which place the people hero
regard as a wonder. I made inquiries
and found that that town is Bituiited at
the end of this division of the II. &
M. R R , , about fifteen miles away ,
and that the train goes there at two
o'clock. Five o'clock comes , ditto
tle ) train , ditto a traveling grocery-
man , and your correspondent. On
the train I found The Omaha Republi
can man whom I thought had been
left behind. Wo arrived in Calvort ,
but night , with its cloak of darkness ,
got there first , so our first impression
of Calvort was not an impressiononly
a blank. There is a hotel in Calvert ,
a now , fine hotel , which I will describe -
scribe later. But , unfortunately , the
new hotel is nota hotel , onlyan empty
building. It also has a restau
rant ( with a big R )
Calvert was started in August , 1881 ,
was laid out by the Lincoln Land com
pany , and lots began to bu sold imme-
ili.it'jly. At that time there was not a
building on the town site.
It is situated twenty miles from
Nebraska City , twenty miles from Tecumseh -
cumsoh , twenty miles from Ilumboldt
and twelve miles from Brownsville.
It is one mile fiom the old town of
Sheridan , through which the prospec
tive Missouri Pacific railroad will piss.
This is ono of those wonderful
towns which , possessing the advantage
of a need location , spring up and
mature HO rapidly.
At present the town contains about
; )00 ) inhabitants , mostly men , , is the
residence portion of the town has not
kept pace with its business. There
are about one bundled buildings ,
mostly wull and substf ntially built
and there are arrangements m.idu for
about seventy-live moro as soon M
spring opens
Among the buildings already occu
pied and m.uly for occupancy are BIX
two story stoics , twenty-four by
eighty fcot ; four others , twonty-four
by foity feet , also two atones high ;
a new hotel , thirty-six by seventy
feet , two stories , which is one of tbo
best buildings to be found in a coun
try town in the state. It contains
sixteen sleeping looms , ollice , thruo
family rooms , dining room , kitchen ,
sample room and basement , It cunt
nearly live thousand dollars and watt
built in fifty-eight days.
It is well finished in walnut and
oak , and will be opened about Feb
ruary 1 , 1882 ,
The best depot on the B. & M.
railroad , except at Lincoln , is at this
point , it is twenty-five by ninety
feet nnd i very well appointed
throughout.
Rev Fitzgerald ( Catholic. ) has pur
chased ono of the most eligible nitou
in tlio town and built a parsonage
worth Sl.fiOO and laid thu foundation
for a church which will coat from
83,000 to $1,000. It will bo completed -
pleted as HOOII us spring opens ,
A Presbyterian church was organ-
i/cd in December , and have regular
Heryices , the Methodist and Congre
gational societies also luwo occasional
services.
'I'ho school district was organued
in November , and will open in the
Hpring , Good looking applicants , ( of
the feminine pumudsionj for the po-
sitif nof teacher will | lu.isocallon Mr.
Moore ,
A union Sunday school has an en
rollment of about forty pupils.
There are hero , also , a dramatic
association , a Good T mplara lodge , a
public library and many other thinga
which go far in show ing the life and
onercy that the town contains ,
Sheridan , ono iniin north , is quite
and old town and up to the present
haabeon almost di-.id , but the near np-
proich of the nulnnd has scru > d to
unliyon them noinon hat and prepara
tions art- being mndu for extensive
improu-ments as * uwn R& spring
opens. Tn o good stores hn * o already
biM n elected.
Tliero has been , BIINV Calvort was
well started , a tight Mweon the two
towns for the count ) scat , which is
now at Hrownvillo , and such wan the
estimated condition of atlairs , that
those who assumed to K > posted , said
that each town would rum t'ie chances
of the other in that
, UMpoct , but now
a compromise has boon agreed on ,
which settles the dithculty.
About midnny bo'weon ' the two
towns is ono of the rises m the rolling
praino which constitutes thia county ,
it ia a very sightly place , gi\ing a
view of almost tht < whole county
Hero is where the political bosses
have decided to Wito the county
buildings and each tm\u will diop its
cognomen and the wlu > lo will bo chris
tened as one. This solution seems to
ijivu universal aatisfictuin
Tliero is a ledge nf line buildim ;
stone almost surrounding the town
i Calvert ) within n mile from its center ,
which promises to boa source of revenue
onuo for n 1 mg time to come , as the
rock is of a very suponor duality
The town contains the largest stocks
of dry goods , groceries , hardwarennd
agricultural implements in the county.
There are nowipinois published
both at thia p'aco ' and at Sheridan.

Sail KroiuUco Chronicle'
llol.nan , _ congressman from the
Fourth district of Indiana , has initia
ted a movement for the forfeiture of
all land grants to railway corporations
\lnclihavu failed to comply with the
conditions of the grant. The bill is
drawn in all essentials upon the plan
often presented in The Chronicle du
ring the last two joira. It provides :
1. That where lauds have boon
granted to aid in the construction of
railways , and wlicio the toad 01 roads
ha\o not been completed within the
tune specified in the grant , sucli lands
shall be forfeited and restoied to tlio
public domain , subject , liKeotherpub
lie liui'lf , to pro-omption and homestead -
stead entry.
2. It directs the sccrotaiy of tlio
interior to report to congress at the
beginning of its no\l session the mini
bor of acres of land for which patents
have been issued to such delinquent
corporation for lands giantod for such
purposes , where railway companies
have failed to complete their loads
according to the terms of the grant.
U. It directs tiie attorney general
to bring suit for thu cancellation of all
patents issued to such forfeited lands ;
the meaning of which is that the at
torney general is to ditoct tbo United
States district attorneys to institute
and prosecute such suits in their re
spective districts.
The full text of the bill has not yet
reached us. It should , and probably
does , provide for the punishment by
impeachment of all officers ot the
United States who refuse to obey its
provisions. Otherwise it might remain
u dead law through the connivance of
the secretary of tbo interior , or thu
attorney general , or the United Statis
distiict courts with the railway
grantees. Our recant exposure of pro
ceedings in relation to the illegal pat
ents issued for lands claimed by thu
Central Pacific railway company and
its assigns , within the exterior limits
of the Moquolumnoa grant in San
Joaquin county , explain how such an
act , without a iniml provision against
such officials , might be evaded , in the
hope of its repeal , so that no good
would come of it to the Bottlers or the
government. The settlers on the
Moqiiolumnea grunt have a league
( headquarters at Stockton ) , and that
league should see to it that tboniithor
ot this bill is informed of all thu
details of their situation , and of thu
delays which pistico has suffered by
the tardiness of certain United States
ollicials in pioccodmg to have the
illegal pattnts canceled by the couit.
There is no doubt that this bill is
presented in perfectly good faith , nor
that Ihu author means to make a
strong li 'lit for its passage. William
S. Holman lung auo won the honorable
name of refoimor in congress. He IH
a democrat , hut never allowed his
name to bo mixed up with any of the
scandiilouH measures that h > \ . \ u dis
graced congress in the lust quiuter of
a century The machine politicians
of all parlies hated him so bitteily foi
his rumorst-liss exposuiu of their ras
calities that they consphod against
him a few yoais ago and cimsod
hia defeat. He is now back again ,
elected by a majority of nearly 1,800 , ,
and his first bill falls like a bombshell
among the railway forces collected at
Washington for the puiposo of gam
ing still further advantages of the
people and the government. If his
bill passes into a law. with such
amendments as we ha\u abo\o sug
gested , it will reutoru to the use of
settlers not far from 150,000,000ucies
of land now locked up from settle
ment by railway corporations who are
incapable of giving title to an acieof
it. And thtao 150,000,000 acres are
of the very bust agricultural lands yet
unsettled in the country.
From Holiimn's congressional record
there is no mason to believe that he
has made the movement as a demo
cratic or pirty measure , Ho very
well knows that there are ninny demo
crats in both houses who ovso 'heir
election and acknowledge supoiior al
lugianco to these land grunt railway
companies. These will unite with
probably an equal per cent , of ropuh
licaiiB to obstruct and defeat thu bill ,
and huvu dibate on it postponed from
session to session. But he also knows
thai the movement is popular and de
manded by > i large majority of the vo
ters of thu country , and that whoever
opposes it will be a marked
man , with diminished clmncus
of re-election. It is , in fact , the par
amount question of thu session. The
lonuer its decision ia nut off the more
it will excite the people and the harder
its final settlement will bo upon the
wretched poliuci&oa who haroaold out
; heir most uiluablo services to these
corporations. The aggregate value of
ho land they propose to steal by cor
ruptmg congress and go\ eminent oil- !
cials is almost inestinnble. At any
reasonable estimito the loO,000,000
acres ate worth ns much , or within
i\o years will be ns the whole
undod debt of tbo United
tales. It covers an ana equal
0 that of Franco and lioluimn , It is
nainly well watered , with n good pro
lortion of the best timber in the
\orld , and two thiids of it is as well
idapted to general agriculture as
1'onnsyhaiiu or Missouri. It is as
ustly the property of tlio I mted
States as the mint , custom house or
.iii'sulio of this city And yet , until
in act like Holman s , roatoiing it to
he public domain , passes , it nui t
remain segregated in the grip of these
corporations , incipable of transfer
Mtn title ; unless congress ahull take
he unpopular and execrable oppoaite
: ourso of renewing the lapsed grunts ,
I'ho party that 'takes that responsi-
ility ia doomed , The men who
ulvoeato it will never again bo heard
if in public life.
