Wo don't bellovo men can learn farming from newspapers acy moro than they can learn to bo practical edit ors by attending a college Icclura course on journalism. For the same reason wo Imvo never regarded the national bureau of agriculture as nn Institution that can very much benefit the American farmer. At best the commustonor of agriculture has boon on ornamental figure-head In charge of the botanical garden from which the rrlvcs and fcmalo friends of congress men are supplied with costly bcqnots. Incidentally the agricultural bureau fur nishes "gardcn-sass" for the rural constit uency of the tciutoM nnd representatives who ] find this a very cheap method of electioneering. From Lo Duo , who raised tea at ton dollars a pound , down to Lorlcg , nho took prldo In delivering lectures on blooded stock at state fairs at Uncle Sam's expense , thcso model farm ers have been arrant humbugs. The new commissioner , Mr. Colman , knows almost as much about farming as Horace Grcoly did. Ho has been a pnblhhor of a so- called agricultural pnper which prints wood-cut illustrations of prlza stcerc , premium pumpkins and blooded plge. His farming Ins boon done principally in Iho attic of a St. Lou\s \ printshopwhere ho raised his crops on the elevator. Mr. Colman , wo are gravely informed , ias called a convention of college farmer ; ; o meet in the rosy month cf Juno at the national posy garden , for the purpose ol discussing ways and means for makini his department cf greater practica benefit to the country. The idea of call Ing together a lot of wild-eyed moon ehlno book-farmers to devise ways am means for making thn bureau of agriculture turo cf great practical benefit to th country Is decidedly refreshing an original. If Mr. Golem an had called fo an assomblyof commercial college student to devise wajs and moan of preventing Prof. Rlloy'a threatcnc invasion of seventeen-year locusts li would have done just as sensible a thin ; Thcro la a refreshing simplicity in Mi Column's composition , which entitles hii to the admiration of the American poopli and that is hio virtual admission that th department of agriculture , as ho calls i is sadly in need of some reform tbr wonld make it of practical benefit to tb country. In this at least wo folly agre with him. Wo are amused , however , : the bland and child-like credulity cf som of the Missouri admirers Mi Colman. The Globe Democrat , hlc probably knowa a good dei less about farming than Commlcslone Colman , if such a thing could be , say that "tho object desired is good , and : Commhsionor Colman attains it ho wl have done the best work of his life , an ono that will perhaps bring forth frn 1 after he has been forgotten. " Yes , li deed , this Is the chance of a lifetimi Lo Duo's tea-planting experiment is not circumstance to the fruits that the co lego farmers will bring forth if they ai only allowed to have their way at Unc Sam's expense. It will for the first tin in the history of the world afford pro that figs may grow from thistles. According to the Globe-Democrat tl "farmers of this country have always hi i a strong prejudice against agrlcnltnt colleges. On the granger , an alluiion one of theeo Institutions hss usually tl same general effect as pralso of a dyn miter would have on an Engllshma The granger regards the agricultural ci logo as an expensive plaything , Invent In order that a few gentlemanly profe sors may rldo about en good hortos ni pretend to teach an art that ho and 1 father and his grandfathers back | ( j , Adam's boyhood learned without the i sistanco of a college. But the fact tha' ' trade or business may be learned , at after a fashion , practiced wlthont a : d systematic training , does not prove tl [ ts butinoflo might not bo much hot If done if its principles are thoroughly i or 0 doratood , clearly laid down and carefu . olio wed out. " , , ) r" Mr. McOulhgh , the edl of the Globe-Democrat , has been i ao .1 ccntly engaged as a lecturer on journ ism in Harvard college at a salary n- $5,000 a year. That may account for 180 conversion to theoretical agriculture t college farming. Wo know , howov that i ( Mr. McCullagh had a fn ch in to cultivate ho would biro a young dude ft cs. ICO an agricultural college , but would adv tiso in the want column of his paper 81- o horny-fistoi farmer. The most abs lut lit twaddle , however , about Colman's sohc Is embodied by the Qlobc-Dcmocra < m , an the following paragraph : There was a tlmo when the doctors , i body , scouted the ida of n medical colli yet the medical college c mo , These primitive doctors were barbi who also practiced blood-letting , toe If pulling , corn-paring and nail-oloanl ad The doctors as a body did not exist a fa- profetslon until medical colleges 1 elf been established , but practical farm Kit date way tack to Adam. mo THE system of inoculation with ohol or mlcrober , as discovered and adopted Dr , Ferran , of Valencia , Spain , it i all nounced to bo entirely successful. If I is really the cato , it will provo as grei blessing as vaccination to prevent em id. pox. When Dr. Ferran made the i id.he he nouncomont of this discovery doctors t to scientists were sent from all the provjn ; ro of Spain to study the system and wai the results of the ] experiments , wh bo seem to have been sat'sfictory. The rut Inoculation produces a tumor on ' oy patient , who bucomes severely proatra its from the effects In about twontyf ill hours , but generally recovers entlr illa a- within forty-eight hour * after the cpe apy ( ion. That the people of Spsiu have fi jn tbln inoculatlou system It shown by fact that In ono province alone ever 4,700 persons have been inoculated , nnd it is aald tha epidemic la rapidly dstrp3ftrlng. ! It would bo a wlao step for our govern- jnont to aend a commission of doctors to Spain to acquaint themselves with Dr. Forrnn's discovery , ao that it could bo in troduced hero at nn early day and thoroughly studied by onr physicians , THERE must bo some land in Texas which has not boon gobbled up by monop olies or given away to syndicates. This evidently is the trno Inwardness of the ru mor that the Ohiogo syndicate proposes to throw up its contract for building the Texas capltol. This great land ring succeeded [ in putting through a scheme nbcut three years ago for building a'cap ital to co&t $7,000,000 , to bo paid for with 3,000,000 acres of state lands , Up to this tlmo the contractors have re ceived patents for 438,000 acres , valued at about $1,000,000. They have expended $500,000 on the building , and by thrawing up Iho contract would cleat n half million. But the Chicago gentle men will not throw it up , if they know thomtolvoB. They simply propose to plaj the Bill Stout method on the legislature , which is to bo convened In extra session , There are 1,500 convicts In the TCXBI penitentiary , nnd the contractors want tc bulldoze the legislature Into a cocccasloi that will allow them to use these convlcti In the quarries. Their throws to thron up tluir contract seem tons to bo a men blind , but it may work If Texas logls lators are na pliant at those of Nebraska WHEN congress appropriated $4COOOI as a Biiheidy for carrying the malls ii American-built steam vesjola , it was gen erally supposed that this wns intendei for the solo benefit of the Pacific Mai company. That company supposed BC too , and was confident that it would ge the entire amount. But it saems that i was ellghtly mistaken , aa other claimant have appeared in the field , much to th eurprlao and indignation of the PaclC Mall. The Alexandre , the Ward and tl At'aa lines are , or may be , " mail" stoan era , within the meaning of the act , an they now have their egents at Washing ton to Insist upon their share of tl : money.

There wai a graat crush at the Niobrnrn land cflico last Friday , the occasion being the evening of the Santee Indian reserva tion lands. These lat.da were made sub ject to the homestead , pto-ompticn and Umber culture laws , and when moro than ono filing wai made on any ono piece of land It was pot up at auction and given to the highest bidder. The ralo of the land office prevented what threatened to bo a cloriny time , and many choice pieces of land brought high prices , Several Omaha land.hunters have boon prospecting in the reserve lately , and were not favorably Improtsod with the lay of Iho country. Mr. Woodman , of this city , returned Saturday from an ex tended rldo over that country , and pro nounces it the poorest that has yet boon put on the market. The Indians have selected the best of the bottom and high land , and sro widely scattered. If a white man takes a claim batwocn the In dians he ii shut out from his fellows and must bear bis oharo oi the taxoa without the benefits , particularly echcol facilities. The greater portion of the high land Is broken ivnd gravely , end Its productive qualities must ctr'ainly bo limited. A largo group of Ohio and Illinois farmera bed squatted on n choice pleco of laud , previous to the opening , and had organized for the pur pose of holding tholr claims , even II arrardcd to other parlies by the lane officers. Mr. Woodman was ngrcoablj surprised at the intelligence and activity of the Indians They have neat frame houses , all painted whllto.

To th > Ediior : My last letter to your valuabli paper appears to have created a desiio ii the mluda of the good citizens of Plaits- mouth for reading gcod literature , as ' heard moro Inquiries for a copy of thi BEE on Tuesday last than I have for anj other publication , "Mosas and tin Prophets" not accepted. Even clcrgj- mon were known to to about the strcoti saying , glvo ua the true gospel ai record ed by "Mol. " in THE OMAUA BEE. Anc there wai no supply ovfaii with the de mand. Now I did not mean to txproei any personal liken or dislikes , nettho : have I done so. Nor have I meant an ; personal cffonao to Dr. "Hooton'a' ' chaise , as my mall is not eo extensive bu what tno facilities of the ciTica will b sufficient to accommodate It at all times bvtwhen a man Hko Dr. Miller , wh has nothing in common In thi matter , who has no other motiv than to display to the people of the atat of Nebraska that even If lie was not re warded with the position cf pr.otmaiter general under the "partlasn" corvil administration that ho at least has beoi appointed tenth corporal ( wlthont payii ) general "postmsstera" division of thi well organized army. And also that th petition bolng oven without glory , b can achieve tno same on the bloody fiel at West Point In Jnne. What a glorlou contrast that field will present.

Let u illustrate. The city of Omaha has a re publican postmaster , Mr. Cou tint ; it ale has a domocrat'o editor , Pr Miller. Th city of Plattsmouth has bee decorated with the aam article. Snppctiug Mr. Cjutit ehoald resign , as Uaptsin Marshall ho done , supposing the citizens of Omali should potlti n the administration , dun ocrat and republican alike , to appoint a excellent gentleman , ono of Omaha olaoat and most popular cit'zena , ono wh has the confidence and friendship of th pooplo. both great and small , for thirt years , who bas been in cllico of publ trust during moat of that tlmo and wt has boeu fonnd faithful under all , an ; and the most trying ciicumstanccs , as hi been the case in Pjatlsruouth. To flnic the hypothesis , supposu Mr. Shtrmai > f 'our democratic editor , should assort h d "Inflooencb" wi h the administration ( at it certainly ho is entitled to moro than D if Miller , for ho waa the choice of the doc ocracy last fall for senator from this d ; if trlct , and wo have never heard of Orcal il honoring Dr. Miller so ) should stop I andisay ; "Nay , my friends of Omaha , 3 cannot have as yo wleh.
