at some length in favor of the passage of an

, Hiibbard ho said nobody would maintain
* theio wnspropoity In an Idea. Thopiopcity
right was In the fashion ot presenting an
idea. The constitution recognized this In
granting patents. Patents weio nothingbut
ideas fashioned in a ceitaln way. For In

parallel case. With books ho declaied theie
was ono kind of books better than cheap
books , and those w ci o books honestly como

the general conclusion that unless the demo

Senate.
WASHINOTOX. Jan , 2t ) . In the senate to
day Mr. Walthal presented the credentials of
the reelection of ,1. 7 . George as senator from
Mississippi. The credentials were road and
nicil.
nicil.Mr.
Mr. Ingalls. from the committee on Judi
ciary , reported favorably the bill relieving
from political disabilities ( lOoigo S. Storrs ,
of Texas , aud on Mt. Ingall's motion the bill
passed.
Among the bills Introduced was one by
Mr. Call , at the iccpicst of the governor of
Florida , to authorl/o the secretary of the
lio.isury to settle and pay the claims of the
Htatoofrjorlda , on account of expenditures
in suppressing the Indians. Mi. Call said a
similar bill had been before the house of the
Forty-eighth congress , but at the teqiiestof
the governor ot Florida It was allowed to re
main unacted upon because a Washington
claim agent claimed a commission amount-
liufto SO'i.OOO "lor seivices" In connection
u llh It. As the amount allowed by conmess
was only & ! > 2,000 , thcio would be llfllo money
left after jnylng the commission. The
money should not bo paid for
soi vices never reudeicd In connection
with legislation , while the soldiers who icn-
dered hard PCI vice to the state , and the
widows and oiphaus of such soldleis , went
unpaid and unpinIdcd for. Under any
ciruitmstaiicc ho log.iided It as a public scan
dal that such - > ast sums should be paid law
yers or pii'tended lawjers or agents lor votes
to be Risen In congiesMr. . Call desired
from his place In ( lie senate to give public
condemnation * to such claims. Theie weio
no sci vices' ( o be lenduicd hi connection
with such bllK The question liuohed was
DUO which will be settled by the hlstoiy of
the countiy. Ho believed the govcinmcht
of the United States should pay the interest
on the claims of those who pi even ted further
Indian vvais.
Mi. Logan said If his ( Mr. Logan's ) propo
sition ten juais no In this sonata had been
agreed to , thine would have been no Indian
wins aftci that time. The proposition then
was to make It a penal olfenso foi am body
to sell a gun , pow der or bullet to the Indians.
That was what was the trouble In our Indian
all alts.
Mr. Platt submitted a resolution for refer
ence to the committee on i tiles , and It was so
retericd , providing that executive nomina
tions would have to bo consldeied In open
sea-ilon. Mr. I'latt said he would notcaioto
speak on the involution If 11 should bo
laxoiably icpmted on by the committee on
rules , but would piobably do soil adveisely
rcpoitcd on.
A lesolutlon was ottered by Mr.'Edmunds
anilagieed to , dhectlng the secietaiyof the
navy to tiansmlt to the senate copies of the
diawlngs and report ot the iccent survevot
the Nicaragua canal louto made by Chief
Knglnccr Menoeol.
Pioeeedlng to the calendar the senate ic-
sumed consideration ot the bill to divide the
Sioux Indian lescivatlou In Dakota.
At-Mr. Vest took the llooi on the Dakota
bill. He disclaimed any hostility , personal
or political , to the people of Dakota , and
claimed himself to bo a vvestein man and
pioud of the weitern countiv and Its mag-
nllicent development of the United States.
Mi. Vest could show that many biave ex-
union veterans who were now icslding in
Dakota , were earnestly opposed to the meas-
ino lepoited fiom the senate committee on
tcintoiles. He Insisted congiess was the
only power that could bay when states should
como Into the union , and took the broad
ground that no oidlnance or tieaty whatever
could hamper or bind congress In the matter
ol so lundainental a characloras this. In
conclusion Mr. Vest said ho would hereafter
submit a pioposltlon to divide the teiritoiy
by a line running north and south on the
one hundred andlirst paiallcl ot longitude.
Mr. Logan then took the floor but gave
way lei a motion to adjourn , and the senate
adjouincd until Monday.

A imrly of line surveyors , who have
been at work on the Northwestern rail
way extension from Fremont to Lincoln ,
arrived hero last night. Chief Kngineor
Ulark is expected to-day , when the work
of staking out depot grounds and locat

line from Fremont to Wahoo is practi
cally decided upon , and after the job
now in hand is completed , the exact
route from Wahoo to Lincoln will bo
determined. This , it is safe to say , will
bo about as given in the BIE : last month.
The entrance into the city will bo from
the northeast , the Burlington tracks
being crossed about live miles out anil
parallelled from that point until the Mis
souri Pacilio right of way is reached ,
when a detour to the west will be made.
No available ) depot grounds can bo had
below Seventeenth street , and it is very
probable the yard will bo in that neigh

ST. JOHN'S wiu > STATEMENTS.
In his speech to the temperance work
ers of this city Thursday evening ex-
Governor St. John of Kansas was par
ticularly severe on the high license law of
Nebraska , which ho branded as a fraud ,
u cheat , a swindln , and a disgrace. "Like
the old slavery question , " he said , "it is
only a compromise with the devil , a
league with hell , and God Almighty isn't
going to let the men of Nebraska carry
it on. If the liquor tratlic is right U
should bo made equal with every other
business. If wrong it should bo clinked
to death. The republicans of Nebraska
ought to be ashamed of themselves.
They are only playing second fiddle to
the inossbuck bourbons of other states.
Whenever prohibition is being agitated
the democrats march nlong&houting high
license , and the republicans cry 'me too. '
Italwccn these alleged parties there is no
difference. In no point does the platform
of ono negative the other ; there
is no issue beloro cither. The democratic
party is represented by what one sees in
the back yard of a homo in spring time.
It is nothing but old hoop skirts , old
boots and shoes , biokcn broom slicks
and all sorts of plunder. There is noth
ing better in the republican ranks.
Whisky is to-day the only live issue be
fore the people. Ono great party , com
posed of democrats and republicans ,
stand by it , and confronting thorn is the
prohibition party. There is no third
party. Both the old organizations de
clare in favor of protecting iron , .salt and
lumber , Jjt.it1 MIC- prohibition * party is in
favor of nrotccting the homes of the people -
plo and the boys in them. "
St. Johii was primed with figures , and
made the somewhat startling statement
that Kansas has gained 800,000 in popula
tion , her wealth has increased $100.000-
000 , and her railroad mileage to 4,000 ,
since prohibition was enacted , and yet
not a saloon keeper or distiller had como
to live vvith them. People who cry down
prohibition as a failure don't know what
they arc talking about. Kansas lias
eighty-four counties , and in eighty of
them prohibition is more strictly enforced
than the Slocumb law is in Nebraska at
largo.
THE BATTI.K OK THi : TYPES.
The withdrawal of Messrs. Harwood ,
Ames and Kglly from the Lancaster
county bond case lias brought on another
"battle of the types" between tlioho
worthy citizens , J. R. Webster and 11. K.
Mooro. The former has published an
open letter in which ho virtually charges
that Moore is responsible for the failure
in the litigation uy having induced the
county commissioners to embark in the
rotten cratt of repudiationor , as the min
strel man says , words to that effect.
Moore , in reply , denies that he ever sug
gested , encouraged , or compelled tlie
county board to any such course , and as
sorts boldly that Webster's real cau e of
grievance lies in the legal stops taken by
Moore to resist payment of his bill of
if 14,753 against the county. All this lends
up again to the old bond controversy ,
the details of which must bo published
at every rcfeiencc to ihcm in order that
people may know what the row is about.
The story in brief is , that in 1870 Lancas
ter county issued § 150,000 in bonds to aid
the Midland Pacific , and in 1871 $100,000
more for the same purpose. The.so
bonds bore 10 per cent interest , and were
supposed to lie "straight" twenty-year
securities. In 18S3 Mr. J. U. Webster re
ported to the county board that ho dis
covered that , by pursuing ccitain legal
form , the bonds could bo paid oil'at the
pleasure of the commissioners , lie
pointed out what a saving it would be to
refund at ( I per cent , and offered to carry
on the deal for a stipulated sum. The
county fathers consented , and a contract
with Webster was made. Before much
work was done , other legal gentlemen
discovered that the bonds wore of the
common "optional" variety , and could
bo refunded at the pleasure of the people
without the aid of the courts. An in
junction to restrain the commissioner. }
from carrying out their contract with
Webster followed , and the latter put in a
bill for $14,755 for "services rendered , "
to date , a claim which the supreme point
is now debating. Then , like a lightning
Hash came the report that the bond were
bad , but of conrao nobody has over
thought of connecting the disappointed
lawyer with the repudiation suhemo.

The new Grand Army post recently

COXVICT CONSUMPTION.
Prisoners Turned Into the Cold World
Diseased ntid I'ciinllcss.
Thcic appeared before the county com
missioners .yesterday nfturnoon a dllapi-
dated individual named Thomas Man
ning who requested that ho bo furnished
with transportation to Kansas City. Ho
were a disreputable looking suit of
clothes mil his face was pale and hag-
gatd. When asked the grounds on whicli
lie demanded free transiioitation ho said
that he had just been released from the
"pen" at Lincoln , was without money
and friends , and as his lungs were badly
all'ectcd he wanted logo where ho could
receive free hospital ticatmcnt.
Manning's story proved to be correct
and ho was given the desired transporta
tion. He had just finished a five years'
term in tlio penitentiary where lie was
sent from Greenwood lor committing an
assault vvith attempt to kill. When lie
entered Iho prison ho was in robust
health , but he left with his constitution
destroyed by lung trouble.
' 'There must be something the matter
with the sanitary condition ol the peni
tentiary , " remarked ono of the
commissioners to a reporter. "Every

from there has trouble vvith his lungs ,
which iiMinli.v runs into consumption , if
that dreaded disease lias not already
secured a firm foothold on his system.
Then again , the men are .sent out with
practically nothing to begin life anew.
Take the man who just left hero , for in-
stance. Ho was given $ ti when ho loft
Iho penitentiary and that old suit of
clothes , and shipped to Omaha. Once
here , without money , it is no wonder
that un ex-convict is almost compelled to
again become a criminal. Wo are often
compelled to furnish transportation to
got the poor devils out of the
city to some place where they cither
have friends or can secure places in hos
pitals. Something ought to bo done to
remedy this state of afl'air.s , and 1 hope
the next legislature will sco the matter
in the same light and pass laws which
will remedy the present condition of
things. "

ENFORCING THE LAND LAWS
Commissioner Sparks' ' Rulings nnd Thelf
Effect on Bottlers.
IS A FINAL RECEIPT FINAL ,
A Correspondent Who Claims the
Commissioner lias Arbitrarily Hua
ponded the Law In Itefusliiu
to Issue Patents.
NOUTU Pi.ATn.Nob. : , Jan. 23. To the
Editor. In jour valuable paper of the
27th then ) appeared a special tele
gram dated Washington , January 50 , in
which an interview with Uonimisslono * ?
Sparks is Riven in which Sparks says :
"A pci ou loaning money upon the Inml
olllco icoelpt and tnlclmr a inoitgnKo Is i > i < r-
fectly bcciiio If the cntiy Is made In good faith.
* * In loaning money It Is vv Ise to luccr- '
tain that tin * bnriowrr has made a pioper
loMdeiicaaud othoiwlso observed the law In
good faith. "
Tno law provides that before a final
receipt is issued Iho settler must publish
a notice in sonic weekly newspaper ofj <
general chculation in the neighborhood
of the land , giving a description of Iho
land , the time and place where ho
proposes to make his proof aud the
names of his witnesses. Tins is a notice
to all the world to show cause , if any ,
why final receipt should not be issued to
Iho settler. Then ho is required to nniko
pioof to the sati-faotlon of the register
and receiver. If the settler compiles
with these requirements the law directs
that a linal receipt shall bo issued to him.
and a patent follow in the course or
time.
The issue of the Ilnal receipt should
bo conclusive. By issuing it the gov-
eminent says , through the register anil
receiver , that the settler has complied
with the law and a patent should
issue. What Iho settlers complain
of , is that Sparks lias arbitrarily
suspended the law and refuses to issue
anj' patents to settlcis in what he is
pleased to term the "infected district , "
which includes the western half of Ne
braska and Kansas. Again Sparks says :
Hcgaiding the statement that patents .110
being withheld to au unusual extent , I cart
a sert that they mo being issued faster by
500 to 1,000 per mouth than evci before In the
hlstoiy of tills eouutiy.
In view of the fuel that the issue of pat
ents to bottlers in this land district has
been entiii'ly suspended .since Sparks
went into ollice , and which we believe'ia
true as regards the rest of the "infected
district , " it looks as though Sparks wad
attf'mpting to deceive tlie people , if
lie is correctly reported in this
interview. It may be , and probably is
true , that in Florida , Alabama , Arkansas
and other points outside the "in-t
fected districts" the work of issuing
patents is going nieriily on. Probably
Sparks didnot deem it safe to ii-.lt tha
displeasure of his masters by suspending
the law in those localities.
In the "infected district" patents are ,
being withheld from all settlers , honest
or dishonest. And still Sparks insists Hint i
ho is doing nothing to injure the honest
settlor. Is it no Injury to withhold hia
patent indelinitcly when he has fuly )
complied with the" law , and by Ed
doing throw a cloud on his title ?
It is the poor and honest settler that is
the greatest sufferer by Sparks' cruel de
cisions and orders. It is safe to assume
that nine out of ten men who take up
land under the pre-emption law are pool !
men who by tbo time they have livcil
on their land the required time , and Im
proved it , have exhausted their mean's ,
and must cither borrow money to pay for
their land or lose all their labor besides .
losing the land. Until Sparks suspended
the issue of patents there was no trouble
to sccuio the money. But now it is dif
ferent. Parties who make a business of
loaning money refuse to loan money on
land when the question of their becurity
depends on the will of ono man with no
statute of limitation. Right hero is
where tlie land shark gets
in his work. The settler being unable to
get the money to make his proof is obliged ,
to sell his land to the speculator for what
he can get. Thus Sparks is working into
the hanils of the very parties lie pietend * )
to be fighting.
If Sparks is desirous of protecting tlio
government and the honest bottler , why
don't ho provide that an inquiry bo in
stituted on behalf of the government ; .
When a settler gives notice of his inten
tion to make proof and payment , the
time between giving notice and making
proof is from six to eight vvceka , afford
ing the government ample time to
thoroughly investigate tlie matter. Then
if the bottler has not complied with the
law , refuse to issue a final receipt , but if
ho has complied vvith the law. for ( Sod
sake , give him a final receipt that is final.
