DAKOTA is indignant ever the pan sago of the sonata bill to attach pot tions of Todd and Gregory countic in that territory to Nebraska. A half of Dakota's inhabitants nro noi in Washington lobbying for the pat sago of an act to endow the torritor with statehood any further dccroas in the population is naturally viewo with alarm by the rural press and th country merchants. IT is rumored that llobbins of th Inter Ocerfn washstand notoriety feel certain of receiving the surveyor goi oralship of Arizona. If Mr. Uobbini prediction comes no near fulfillmoi : as his prophesy that Nebraska \voul send a strong Grant delegation to tli Chicago convention , ho need not bi gin to pack his valise or purchase ticket to Santa Fo for some tiino t come.

When John She man's word is placed against that < an acknowledged dead boat and swim ler the public will not take long < make up their mind as to whic speaks the truth. OUK dispatches cpntain the rumi that the Chicago , Burlington Quincy management are about to lua the Denver & Rio Grande system at connect it with their trunk line fro Chicago to Denver. The report h in it many of the elements of prob bility. Both systems have been < the most friendly of terms for soi past and not long pgo were undt stood to Lave entered upon an offc BIVO and defensive alliance to nhu trafUc. Should the consoh Jation to place the Burlington managcmu will control a. continuous line of ro from Chicago to Salt Lake wi branch lines into every imports mining district * of Colorado , Wi ouch a system the Burlington ma ageinent would not permit the J maining link between Salt Lake ai tho' Pacific to remain long unoco jpiod. A PUBLIC NEED- Omaha needs n market house ; she neoth n good system of pavomonla and a proper extension of her sewerage system to meet the sanitary require ments of a grout and growing city. Hut moro than nil thosn , she needs united action of her citizens in inau gurating and maturing plans neces sary for her growth and development. Omaha wants moro public spirit. She wants less factionalism , fewer cliques , whoso only aim is self inter est , and more men who nro willing to think and act for the best interests of the entire community. No one is disposed to deny that our city is growing rapidly and steadily. Its development in every line of trade and industry within the pant live years has boon nothing if not marvellous. Homo and foreign capi tal has been expended in planting in vestments which are already giving profitable returns , and which at the name time are distributing thousands of dollars among 'hundreds of homes in our midst. Our business houses have bean compoMcd to increase their accommodations in order to deal with the natural growth of trade. Brick , stone and iron nre replacing the wooden structures on our streets. Water works have at last boon secured - cured for the protection of our dwell ings and the convenience of our citi zens. Now lines of railroads are pointing in our direction whoso coin ing will open up additional fields for trade to our merchants. There is every promise of a now era of pros perity , of commercial growth and in dustrial activity , to which the years that are past will afford no parallel. Hut Omaha's growth has been large ly gained in the face of the opposi tion of her citi/.ona. The interests of the city at largo have been given into the hands qf a few public spirited and enterprising residents while a largo portion of our wealthy and well- to-do citizens have been content to stand aside and reap the benefits of the enemy and labor of others. Some have not boon content with this course. A persistent fight has been waged by a numbar ot fossilized citi zens against every scheme for public improvement which necessitated the expenditure of money or the loaning of the puDlic credit on behalf of the city , while the very same parties have been the first to udvocato the bonding of the city to corporations and the donation of its rights and franchises to the monopolioa. It is his high time that our citizens should awaken to the possibilities which ho within their grasp. What the future will be , how great the de velopment of our natural resources , and how extensive the aid which ether sections of the country will give to the increase of ourmunicipalgrowth all these matters lie in our own hands and must bo decided within a few years to como. Concert of action on the part of our citizens , universal and 'outspoken interest in municipal aiVUira by our tax payers , a far sighted public policy which ia willing to invest a thousand dollars in order to reap a re turn of a hundred thousand , tlm sup pression of immediate self interest foi the general benefit and a determina tion that wlmtuver is done shall be done for the future ns well ns for the present with such sentiments ani mating the citizens of Omalm thu growtli of our city in assured , and its porman'cncy as the great commercial metropolis of the trans-Missouri conn- try will soon become a certainty. SOUK of the delegate's to thu Statu Alliance muoting recently held lit Hustings wont homo much dissatisfied with the proceedings in some respects. Rosewater , the farmer of the Oiniihn JlKK , was there and took im activu part in Bhnpini ; the convention. JJu opposed the inaujtiration of an inde pendent anti-monopoly party in thu ntnte , and his private uilvicu was tu pack thu party caucuses if possible , and if this could not be successfully accomplished , then to jot ; up a third party. So says Mr.V. . F. Hucht , ol Vork county. lloiowntor will uiv doubtodly try very hard to get on the delegation to the next stnto con. volition , and if lie auccocds will undertake dortako to run the convention. If he fails in that ho will follow the exam pie of the so-called republicans ol Suward county and bolt the action ol the convention. Uluo Valley Blade , The only word of truth inthoabovi f it the assertion that llosewatcr oppos ed at the prusunt tiino the inaugura tion of an independent anti-nionopol ; ' party in the state. The editor of th' Due was an invited f-uostat the Hast ings convention ami the only part In took in shaping the proceedings o that body was'tho delivery of n ipooc ] at the request of the olllcorn of th Farmers' Allianco. His advice , botl public and private , may bo found i thu published proceedings of th meetings. Every member of the Hastings con volition kno-v just what Kosowater' ' views wore on the third party idea hi fore ho delivered them. Ho has 01 rote pressed .them tiino and again in Tu tent UIK : B'IIICO the organization of tli nt formers' alliance , and lias urged th id legitimate oxprossionof public opinio in the choice of candidates throng the party caucus ondconvontion. II has advocated the nomination by n publicaim of none but anti-monopo ] republican ! , and the selection by dun ocraU of none but anti-monopoly don cerate. Where thia plan was imposs bio on account of the corrupt ii finances of the corporations ho hns commended the Biipixirt of the beat men on nn indcpendnnt ticket , irre spective of party wherever such n course was pra'cticablo or nflbrdcd any hope of success. There was nothing in any way private about UICHO views of llosowator , and they wcroondorsed very generally by the Hasting's coiv volition as sound , safe and sensible. ANOTHER I < 1ND GRAB SCHEME Mr. Uelford'u ' bill to lease arid ant desert lands lying went of the lOOtl meridian is n hugo land grnbbinf Bchomo hidden behind the mask of i pretended public benefit. Accordiii } to its proviflions the secretary of tin interior is authorized to luano to an citizen of the United States a tract eland land not exceeding 5,000 acres withii tho'dcsort or and region of the publii domain , located in the state of Cole nido , for not moro tlmn ton years , n a. rental per annum of four cents po aero payable quarterly in advance under such regulations ns thu sucrc tary may prescribe ; a failure o n tin part of the lessee to inako such pny incut , to operate as a forfeiture of tip loaso. Upon the expiration of tin luaso the secretary of thu interior i uthomcd to Bull such tract in quan Hies not exceeding 040 acres , and fo price not exceeding § 1.25 per acre r to renew the lease for a secom crm of five years , provided the lease as reclaimed the land and placci liurcon improvements ; ho shall b nlitlod to renewal Jor the aubscquon cried or periods of not moro thai on years each - the land so leased nee o embrace timber or mineral lands. Judge .Belford supports his bill 01 ho ground that under its provision ndividual capital will bo brought t ocluimylnt is now a desert want nd the government will secure a rev nuo from n quarter from which i ow draws nothing. lie points to th 'act that the lauds at present are oc upiod for cattle and sheep raising with ut the sanction of law and states tha ho main object of his bill is to lugal : o this occupation and to protect th ights of thosu thua engaged from on roachmont and irtcrfurence. Tin' lir.K calls upon the Nobrask ulcgation in Washington to oppos .his . measure Its object is a lam monopoly of the largest sizo. Tli ortain result of its passage would bi .ho locking up of millions of acres o ho public domain in the hands of i ow capitalists at n merely nominu ontrtl to tha government. Our graz ig lands up to the present time havi juon free to all. The smallest in eaters in the cattle and slice ] raising business have beei con equally us welcome to their ua as the largest cattle kings. The at oncu of any monopoly of the gren nnges has stimulated the busince until the value of cuttle exported hn ncroasud from § 505,719 in 1872 t SM,30-1,10 ; ! in 1881 and the vuluo cheep hoop from $7 , r 92 to § 702,032. Thi great growth has only been rundoru possible by thu free use of the unoc cupiud public domain which the go\ rnmunt 1ms iill'orded to all comer : There are no good reasons why th policy should bo changed now. The measure introduced by Juclg Bulford and reported favorably by th lommittue on public lands is first c all an attempt to monopolize the ca ! lo and sheep ranges and prevent an 'urther extension of the grazing bus less among smaller investors. It i another step in the line of monopol which is already the curse of thn mien ion and which has extended to over branch of trade , commerce and tram portntion. In thu second place it is langurous menace to the agriculturn nturests of the region covered by il provisions. The furms "desert laiide mvo covurod many gigantic steals i hues past and thu pruaunt instance : lot likely to prove any exception t : > nst oxporioncos. Twenty years a he most furtilo portions of Nobrask , voro considered an arid desert and i u only within n few youra that prai icul experiments in tarmini ; ha\ proved that lands west of Nort Platte [ and Kearney are available ft purpososot.cultivation. Judgoliolford bill would at once take out of tli market for homestead and pro-oni ] tion millions of acres of lands whic could readily and economically 1 utilized for agriculture and plat them in the hands ot a few cnpitalis whoso only improvements will consii in improving the breed of cattle an flhoop which monopolize the va tracts practically donated by thu t'oi , eminent. Congress has already been disgrace sulliciuntly by its reckless donation i the public domain to corporatioi and Htock jobbing rings of capitalist The people dusiro to be heard on tl question and their voice is unanimoi against any further squandering i the nations possessions. THK city council has boon asked vacate suvontoon foot on each side the upper part of Farnam Btroot , I ginning at the city limits and oxtun ing a mtlu and a half in an eastei direction. This would leuvo a wid of sixty-six foot , which the ownorj adjacent property atlirm is sullinie for all purposes of traffic to and frc thu city. TIIK BEE is opposed to t proposed change. It sees no go reason why the struct should not 1 loft at its present width. Building is rapidly reaching along upper Farnam street and plans arc being laid for making every portion of the thorough fare available for business purposes , Farnam is the only street in the city which is laid out at a uniform width of one hundred foot for a distance of three miles from its origin. It has been the intention of the county com- tniflsioncrs as far ns possible to bring to it nil the country trallic and to this end they have been improving the roadways leading to the city through upper Farnnm street. On this account they nro very seriously opposed to any narrowing of the thoroughfare and the grounds of their opposition arn plainly for the best interests , not only of the immediate property owners on the street , but of Omaha itself. The city council should sit down on the peti tion with n loud thud. The Georgia Independents. ' Clat eland Liadcr , The stixtu election in Georgia does not take place until October , but the opening speech of thu campaign against the bourbon democracy was made at Augusta by Hon. W. H. Ful ton on Monday night last. Mr. Ful ton was n whig as long as that party existed , and then a Unionist. Ue was oppojed to the rebellion , but uf- tor its suppression acted with the democratic party. Ho was elected to congress as an independent democrat in 1874 , re-olectcd as an out-nnd out independent in 187 < > and 1878 , and was defeated in 1880 by a democratic candidate , while running on an Independent ticket. An audience of over five thousand people gathered to hear him on Monday , and applauded his speech , which laid emphasis on the necessity of overthrowing the Bour bon ring in Georgia. lie said that Indopondontism meant that the people - plo should bo the masters and not the slaves of the politicians. Ho de nounced the poll tax law and the bourbon frauds on the ballot box , nnd advocated froeo schools and a tnrilF to protect our homo industries. * The platform thus outlined is ono which will grow rapidly in favor in Georgia , the most prosperous and intelligent state in the south , and wo have strong hopes that that state mav yet he re deemed from Bourbon rule. As he closed his speech and stepped from the platform , hundreds of those pres ent stopped up and congratulated him upon his effort. There is little doubt buUthat his speech will have a won- durful eili'ct in Georgia , and will add hundreds of strong und powerful men to the fast tilting ranks of the inde pendents. Ho has received invita tions to Columbus , Mncon and At lanta. Rural and Municipal Population. St. Louis Republican. A census bulletin gives the total population of the 100 largest cities in the United States having over 20,000 inhabitants at 9,098,000 , which' ie nearly one-fifth the whole population of the country. The total increase oi population in tho.country in the last decade was 12,000,000 , and 2.390.00C of this was in the 100 cities. The figures are pointed at as an indication of an excessive crowding of people into cities from the rural districts. But it Is doubtful if there is any niort such crowding going on in this country than elsewhere. No doubt there are thousands of persons in every largo American city who contribute nothing to the aggregate of useful 1 humon clTort , who do nothing in the way of earning an honest living , and nre mere drones in the social hive , Of the 9,000,000 , persons constitutinc the population of these 100 cities , 1,000,000 could -be spared , and the cities bo better oil' without them. But it is not clear that the rural dLs tricta would be bettor oil * with them as the majority of them would bo at f averse to earning a fair living then us they are in the cities. Botl the rural regions and the citio : are able to absorb a largo nuiu bur of steady , reliable and willing workers , and to pay good wages t ( f them and this will bo the case foi many years to come. But the taski of life are constantly growing men exact and complex ; oven farming hai ceased to bo the rude , clumsy businosi it once was , and became a vocation ii 1 which skill and accuracy are required It is these increasing exactions tha nro swelling the ranks of idleness will unambitious and indolent persons win choose riithor to be dronics than qual ify themselves for skilled tasks There nru seasons when the farmiii ) .listriuts need a large extra supply o labor but the introduction of niach ineryinto agriculture suppliua a fore which is not to bu overlooked. Ou aggregate of farm products is con stantly und largely increasing , a fuo which shows that the labor supply 01 farms is not materially impaired b ; the crowding of population into cities and the fact that our farmers are abl not only to furnish an abundant sup ply of ohoap food at homo , but to sent an enormous surplus abroad and undersell dorsell British , French and Gcrmai farmers in their own markets , show with what effect machinery is not used in the cultivation of the soil nn < the production ot food.
