NEBRASKA BY NATIVITIES.
The latest census bulletin on "se
lected nativities" contains BOIUQ very ,
interesting statistic concerning the
population of Nebraska.
The census roturna of 1880 credit
Nebraska with a total , populutioq of
452,402. Of this number 352)413 ) nro
white native Americana , 2,570 colored
natives and 97-tW foreign born.
Among the native Americans 95,700
are born in Nebraska , 45,583 in Illi
nois , 31,489 in Iowa , 31,800 in Ohio ,
29,311 iu Now York , 25,079 in Penn-
sylvanin , 20,403 in Indiana , 1G/J31 in
Wisconsin , 10,503 in Misaouri , 70,853
in Michigan , born in nil the remain
ing states nnd territories , 37,210.
Among the fdroign born popula
tion of Nebraska 31,125 bail from
the Gorman empire , 14,675 are
Scandinavians from Sweden , Denmark -
mark nnd Nor way ; 10,133 were born
iu Ireland , 8,207 in England and
Wales , 8,858 in Bohemia , 7,900 in
Canada , 3,281 in Rulsia , in 2,230 Scot
land , 2,310 in Austria. Of the latter
a largo majority nro doubtless natives
of Bohemia classified us Austrinns.
All other foreign countries not claim-
-fiod contiibuto 8,593 to Nehrusku'a
jjopjlation.
' It is rather curious thai the natives
'of Npbni&lc/i are almost equal in num-
i bcr to Iho foreign born population ,
'and ' the foreign born population in
! moro .htm ono-fifth of the ehtirn pop-
> ulation. The goncial impreDMi > n liua
[ been tliut tlu-ro wcro at least
'ten ' Iiishnmu to every English
man in Nebraska , but Iho census
returns show that for every ton Irish
men there are eight Englishmen in
this stato. The natives of Germany
are one-third of the foreign population.
Tliero are three German's in Nebraska
\vlioro there ia one Scandinavian pr
Bohemian , nnd there are moro Rus
sians in Nebraska than there HVO
Americans of African descent. One-
half of the population of thu etato
hails from Illinois , Iowa , Ohio , New
York , Pennsylvania , Indiana , \Yis-
oonsin , Missouri nnd Michigan , which
uhowB that the body of our population
comes from the central bolt of the
UnitedStatesjOf which Wisconsin is the
most northerly and Missouri the
most southern. The utato of Illinois
liaa given us moro people than the
/Now England at at IMS , the southern

CORPORATE OREEb.
The strike of the freight handle
in Now York city exhibits in n gin
ing light the greed nnd rccklonnoas
corpornto monopolies in dealing wil
laboring men. Even the moat cense
vntivo pipers in Now York are 01
spoken in their denunciations of tl
course of the railway nnnngcrs. TJi
Now York Krenimj Prat for oxampli
which cannot ba classed nmong cor
Uiuniatic or Incendiary sheets indulge
in the follow ing c nnnieiit ojncernin
the mtuatioti.
"Amid this co t'v cn fu. ion yostcr
day afternoon , . ' ! , CO ( ) idio laborrr
inarched in procession through tit
crowded strpetit , nith a band of musii
nnd n banner. If those man had beei
at work , tlnsre M onld IIBVO bi'eii ' i

coivod ad delivered with cuitomarj
regularity , and iu pliusa of ( hoHjmp
loin.s of coiiiincrci.nl chaos there wonlc
'invo ' been seen the familiar nigna ol
iro3perous activity , Why were thuoo
nun not lit work ? If their idlencos
voro n moro wanton oxliibition of
pito , if their proceedings were
iolous nnd their demands mi-
oMOimblo , they would bo the
ibjocts of very lively do-
iiincintlon ; but , ns it happoim , the
ovoroo of all this is true. The very
iicn who nro auflering most in the
natter , the merchant ] whoso business
i blocked , agree that the freight
landlora are behaving well , nnd that
hey ask nothing moro than what is
Air. They have been paid.tho paltry
um of seventeen contn an hour for
heir labor. They nsk for three cent
noro. At' twenty cents nil hour ,
working ton hours n day , they would
ccoivo the wagea of private porters
rhoso work ii similar ; but , unlike
hcsc , they have not constant employ ,
ncnt , and they nro obliged to work
( ton nt uniiAiinl hourci Cer ninly
heir demands are not exorbitant.
Vhoro , then , does the blnmo for the
xintnig otnto of nflairs rest ? It in
uldom that sucli n question can bo so
i.'itinctly nilHworod.
If the consoqiionco of thin contro
orsy were confined to the freight-
andlors nnd their emnloyera , the
ourso of the latter would even then
o indefensible. It is understood that
lie inilroad companies theniHolvoi do
ot regard the proposed ndvnnco of
lireo cents an hour aj extravagant ,
ut they nay that they are "contend-
iig for n principle" the principle ,
orhapa , that the men employed by
hum shall have no volco whatever hi
otormining the amount of their coin-
enaution ; the principle that they will
ay the lowest possible number of
unto for aorvicoj , without regard to
tir living wuges. 13ut there ia n
liird party in intereal. TJiucuatoinurj
f the railroads have uOmo risjhti or
t least ought to have them. The com-
anica are under an actual or implied
ontract with the niorchantatorocoivo
nd transport their goods with duo
cpedition. If the demands of thu
andlors were extortionate there
light bo oomo excuse for the railroads ,
lough even then they should weigh
uofully the , riok of throwing this
roat commercial city ; into such a
onditiou as it ia now in. The mor-
luuiti have no right or desire to die-
ito to the companies whom they shall
mploy.or nt wliat wages , but they
lay1' clearly insist that freight shall
o transported ; It is an outrage for
icso lich companies , iii order to BUVO
few cents , to make economical ex-
Qriments with incompetent hands nt
*
unvy cost to tlio business men of
few York.
All thin is in the nature ot n truism
-at leant to everybody outside of the
tilroad companies. That those cor-
urations and their agonta are blind
) the truth , or , if they nee it , nro
laenaiblo to the obligations ic in-
elves , ia anotnor illuatraticn of their
jrgotfulncsa "f the public side of

vith lively interest , not only in Now

ft waa Miown that Mitjor Uar.iold had

'or $30,000. But w hen the body came
n to give Ha verdict it was found that

A National Isso.
Fun I n .t o Cliranlclc
Tliis session of congrHS ii BO naai
ita clone us to leave nc hope uf the
paasaga of n bill i coining forfeited
railway land granta t < ( th public do
main. The bill was l > eptn committee
for six months , with amiparent pur-
poao of dofoftting it by d < y. This la
nn old railway corporntioitriok , trans-
'erred from the C.tlifcnn . legislature
; o Washington. It is cater and cos's
eiui to liainllo the nrijonv of a cjin-
nittee than n majority f the whole
house or senate ; nnd the urtnt way to
kill nny bill in to have th < report of it
delayed to the lnt days otho ! session.
Tlio mnjority ropcrt on thu bill to
declare the Northern Paific rnilwiw
land grant forfeit and rcsoro it to the
public domain was so illof cal nnd no
clearly wrong in princip.i that a de
bate upon it must have fern it into
shreds nnd brought n larg majority of
the houfio. The courts hive virtually
decided that the only p wr which can
restore these lapsed grant to the pub
lic domain is in congress But this
majorily declnrtu that thi courts nro
the only power which cinlnwfully decide -
cido the question , was mtagomzing
the decisions of the courtnnd ! indefin
itely postponing the quoaion , with the
apparent purpose of nllowng the diro-
hct corporations time i > secure an
equity in those parts d their land
grants that nro forfeited ,
The magnitude of the sibject ia not
limited lo the -10,000,0(0 ( nsrea nnd
§ 10,000,000 worth of laid that has
boon forfeited by the Nirthorn Pa
cific company. The aano right of
forfeiture extends to in on than 125-
000,000 ucres , worth , at i low esti
mate , $000,000,000. It is the bia-
gcst thing in American politics ; and
; ia such , cannot fail to unit ) to the
front as n national issue , both in thu
congreaaional elections tha year , and
if not nettled by the nexfcongro'iB , in
the national conventions for the nom
ination of presidential candidates in
1884. In ono form or aiother it ef
fects the title of cvtrj unpatonted
land grant undo since tint of July ,
1802 , to the Central anc Union Pa
cific companies. It t inch us the al
loyed rights of the Ciuiral Pacific
grant in this way. Tin charter of
that corporation providci that all the
Und gr.mted to it , an ! remaining
unsold three yearn after the
completion of the road , nhall royert
to Iho government of the United
StUu < * . To defeat the cbject of this
proviso tlutcorporationformod n land
jynJicato of ita own tmimbori or
jgenls , oolling the whob of thinr un-
patented grant to th.it tompany Thia
I * n clear case of fraud , and a single
iay's debate in either house of con
fess will fatally puncture it , and con-
I'inco nil huneat men thtt the land DO
fraudulently conveyed should bo nil
restored to the public domain. And
ivo now make the bold [ assertion that
; hia Central Pacific und company
: anne t give clear title to an acre of
iho _ land they nro BIJ fraudulently
: laiming nnd convoyingto private par-
; ic3 , uuloaa coogroas uhlll pass a law
jontirnung their forijttcd rights.
Such an enactment illicit have been
been pisjod iivo ydara uro , Then those
jpsraiioHH were moro popular than
they are now , but it vnll meet with
re olutotopposition hereafter , and the
ynat majority of the pcoplo will con-
leinn any party that favpra it , or that
rtorka for the defeat of legisla
tion lo rcatoro all thcao forfeited
land grants to the public domain.
Et ia not either , solely a question in-
volviua SOOO.OOO.OOO worth of land ,
[ t involves the rights of four millions
at families or twenty millions of pco
plo , to settle on those lands and occu
py th.m ( at the government price as
liomoatoadis , and to secure unclouded
titlo. It involves the products of the
lands when cultivated , which would be
worth aa much every year as the cost
jf the laud. As long ns the corpora-
tiona hold them by a defective title ,
jottlemont will bo rotaidod and a
blii'ht thrown upon the prosperity of
the states anl territories in which they
ire located. The slates and territories
most deeply interested nro California ,
Orogjii , Nevada , Kansas , Colorado ,
Nebraska , Arizona , Washington , Mon
tana , Wyoming , Utah nnd Idaho.
They now contain a population of
nearly throe millions , with n posssibil-
ity of six millions before the next con-
juapoar. | Net , ono of then can tix
ml acre of these unearned nnd nn-
patented laudn till congress shall pass
an not authorising it. This also rpn-
toiu into the question nnd makes it r.
necessary national issue in politics.
Outaido of railway circloa there is.but
one opinion on the subject of state
taxation , and thit ia that thosa
gnuitopa iiiuat bti forced to pay tnxeu
on their landu n long aa they set up
ownership of them and poasojs them.
This movement , began very early in
the sesjion by the introduction of the
Piumb bill m the senate , and the
Andoraon bill in the houao , to author
ize the state of Kansas to tax tlio un-
surveyed and unpatonted lands
chimed by the Kansuu Pacific rail
way company , haa alao been delcyed
and virtually defeated by n combina
tion of railway interests. All the
laud grant companies made common
cause against it.
There IB but ono way out of the dif
ficulty , and that is for the people to
unite and make common cause _ against
the oppressors by pledging their mem
bers of congress nnd their presidential
Mtididatoa to support the principles of
forfeiture wherever a land grant has
lapsed , whether by fraud or other wise ,
ind of the Plumb-Anderson bills. And
the candidates for etato legislatures
mould bo pledged to vote against any
limn for the United States senate who
is not sound oii hoao principles.

Deluding some which lias done SIT
vice , a quantity of tools , a work bench
ind n trunk.
"That rope on the floor there , " M.
narked Van lliso , " 1 hud nt Osch
ivald's hanging. Generally I keep al
tlieoo things out of sight. In that
rtink now there is a now soljof noisjf
ind under this bench h a lone rope
vliich I got ready a few weeks ngr
vhcn it looked na though wo would
lave another job on hand here. Alioul
his Washington business , if I c
Itiwil there , I'll rnako a gallows like
ho one up at our jail , nnd take it
own to Washington. Then thoris'll
jo no accident. T h.ivo nov
r had an accident , and ]
on't want one. The reason I got
nto this business was that 1 always
md a knack for rig int ; . Ererybjdy
ukus to something naturally , nnd
oinohow I take to ropea. Somotimee
wish that 1 had never seen u rope ,
or juat because I can handle ono I'm
Iways called upon to do it. Now , I
on't suppose that one person in ten
ould have done that splicing there "
Mr. Van Iliso picked up from his
) oncb a rope that allowed strong splic-
ng , and then poized another piece ,
rhich ho noiselessly wove into a
IOOBO.
"I rigged and worked the big dor-
ick , " hu continued , "that were uied
n erecting the now postoffico in Now
fork. Now , to answer your question
lore directly , I worked for Gould &
loaro , carpenter ; ! , when they wore
inking a gallows , nnd BO I came to
ang Fox at Now Brunswick. Next
hanged a colored man in New Bruns
wick , nnd after him I hanged Bridget
) ar an in tlio aamo city. Oae lyd to
nether , until I had thirteen hangings ,
11 told. I never believe in cutting u
ope with an ax. and I have long used
contrivance of my own , which makea
liis unnecessary. I have clamps fas-
nod to one of the uprighti ot the
allows ; and these hold the rope to
vhich the drop is attached. By
topping on a sprint ; the clamps open
nd the weight drops. My gallows ia
lade of two uprights and u croba
mam. Th'eio is no trap door to drop ,
bo prisoner buiuc ; jerked into the
ir. Sometimes the neck iu broken ,
nd again it isn't. I always take care
o guard against mishap * . I novei
sedaropothe second time , because
rope that is a little old has lost
omo of its strength. "
"Does an execution affect your
pirita ? "
"Not a bit. It doesn't affect me in
be least. I'm always cool at an exe-
ution , nnd when it's over theruS nu
mprosaion left on my mind. I sup.
ese Bomo people would say I'm hard-
learted , but my friends don't think
o. I always was perfectly cool. 1
lolpod build the high tnwor on the
> ld Crystal Palace in Now York , and
hough it swayed with the wind
vhon I was in it , I wnf
lover norvous. When I attached
he gallows ropj to the
10090 about a prisonei'u neck you'll '
icvor BOO my hand tiemblo. WhatV
ho use of being nervous ? Nothinp
a going to hurt me. Some peopk
alk of trying scenes under the gal
Gas. I never saw any terrihlo scene ,
jruiiemlly tliu prisoner says 'Good-by ,
md God have mercy on my soul , ' 01
omething like that. Bridget Durgar
vas the most ntubborn prisoner I ovoi
aw , and G-.orge Botti was the onlj
jno who excited my sympathy. J
bought ho did about right in p.lio f
Pat' Halstead.
"To refer to Guitcau again , sevcra'
niluontial men who know mo have
uggestod down in Washington that I
30 chosen for the hanging business ,
out as yet there is nothing settled
ibout it. I don't know whore tin
upors got the story that I want more
han two hundred dollars , for figures
laven't been mentioned. "

"Yew , he replied , mid it has coat nn

"How so ? "
"Well , I kept a faithful account foi

and na I have not alwiiyn been wha

"I stopped diinking two yeara ago

mokcd ono pound a week , and al

sinokod four ounces n day , whicl
v.T.3 a pound and a quarter a week. "
"What did that tobacco cost you ?
"Ten years ago Durham was ohip.
