CONGRESSMAN ANDKKSOH'3 bill tO &d
the railroad land grants has passed
th hoiuo o ( representatives by a vote of
lift 160 , This important measure culls
fee an Investigation nnd Adjustment of
tb0 Innda granted to railroads by con-
| ii guess tn the several states nnd territories.
Millions of acres of the public lands have *
; been illegally obtained by u variety of
Bcthods , which Mr. Anderson's measure
proposes to expose , and to remedy by
wresting the land so taken
from the hands of the ri'.llroad
grabbers. Attention has from time
' to time been directed to tlio repeated
failures of most of tlio land grant roads
, to comply with the terms of the grant.
Yheso terms vary in dilVoront cases , but
' - Moat of Iho roads have obtained their
* ' ' Mids under grunts containing some of
| bo following provisions : (1) ( ) That if any
. { tovtloa of tha roads ia not completed
within the time fixed , no further sales
kid ) bo matlo nnd the lands unsold shall
revert to the United States ; (3) ( ) tliat if the
entire road is not completed in the time
sot , uo further patents shall bo issued and
. the unsold land shall revert ; (3) ( ) that if
the companies fall to lilo their assent
to thu terms of the nut or complete
, 'tholr roads , us provided , the measure
Itself becomes null and void nnd all
lauds rovcrt to the United States ; (4) ( ) that
if the companies make any broach in the
conditions of the grant , congress may do
fcny nud nil ncta necessary to secure the
\ tpcedy completion of the roads. It
1 estimated that fully 30,000,000 acres
, 9t govcrnmunt land have boon illegally
vmaquired. Ooniircsj has boon so long
uadcr the control of the railroad lobby
' .ttwtit is gratifying to ubto the large ma-
by which Mr , Audorsou's bill

from this , however , that the bill is
lUwly to become a law. It must yet run

Oorncrlnfc Hrlotc.
When Omaha had 15,000 or 20,000 pop
ulation , It was well enough for the brick-
makers to bo also builders and contrac
tors. In these days it would have been
rather risky for a linn to confine'them
selves to the mnnufacturo of brick alone.
The brick might have bcon lolt on their
hands ns dcnd capital , unless they had
contracts from builders for all the brick
they turned out. Omaha has now reached
a stage when men can with safety manu
facture brick for sale , without any risk of
loss by the lack of demand. Itrick making
and brick laying need not go
hand in hand. In fact this combina
tion has become a serious detriment to the
growth of tlio city. As long as llto brick-
maker only proposes to turn out brick
enough for tlio building contracts which
he has taken , it is to his interests not to
sell bricks to ethers who might underbid
him in building contracts. The cll'oct of
this is Hint every year wo have suffered
from a brick monopoly which discourages
people from building small houses. Hrick-
makcrs are asking twelve dollars a thou
sand for brick which actually cost from
five to six dollar,1) ) to make , and thuy
are willing to lay brick in
the wall for about the prlco
they ask for the brick alone.
Mechanics of small means who want to
take contracts on their own account can
not do so without loss as long as they have
to pay twelve dollars for brick. This
compels them cither to work for
the big contractors or leave the
plnco allogolhor. In this matter
wo are going through the same
process every-year. Half a dozen heavy
contractors who own brick yards have
created n brick monopoly and put up the
price until they have all the contracts
they consider worth taking. For Ihe
rest , they care little whether the men of
small means nro able to build or not.
Many people who would otherwise build
small houses give them up , and many
small jobs of brick-laying are made so
costly that they might as well bo lormed
downright robbery.
This mailer has no relation to Ihe ques
tion of bricklayers' wages. The cost of
making bricks is not increased by that
and oven the slight increase asked by
brick-moulders and laborers docs not
justify the exorbitant price put upon
brick in the yards.
T.ho time U seems to us has como for
largo brick-making concerns which have
no other business than brick-selling ,
liriclc building is n Boparnto trade nnd it
is to the Interest of Omaha that this sys
tem of cornering brick every spring
should cease.
Sparks and Van WyoK ,
The great hue and cry which the anti-
Van Wyck press makes about the differ-
cnco bctwocii SenatorVan Wyck and
Mir. Sparks about the seizure of timber
cut by Hall & Bros , in Idaho Territory is
after all ntornly campaign buncombe. It
docs not in any way detract from the
senator's merit ns the defender of the
public domain. So far as the right of
Hall & Co. to cut timber promiscuously
on the public land with the solo yiow of
selling the lumber wherever it has a
market we believe Commission
er Sparks is eminently right.
This has been our position
from the outset without knowing who
was the owner of the timber seized by
the government. Wo believe Senator
Van Wydk has made a mistake in at
tempting to support Hall's claims , and
wo do not propose to mince matters in
saying so. Tins .paper . , without reference
to Senator Van Wyck , believes Sparks to
be an honest man , fearless in the dis
charge of his duty and earnestly desir
ous to reform the land oflice and stop the
raids by corporations and bogus
claimants upon the public lands.
Mr. Sparks may have made mistakes
in his rulings , but they wore made in tlio
interest of tbo public , so far ns ho saw
that interest. His predecessors nearly
always squinted in the other direction ,
and had private interests to subserve or
these of railroads , land grabbers and largo
syndicates.
Senator Van Wyck is not infallible.
Ho is just as likely to bo imposed upon or
to blunder as other men who mean to do
right. In this case the senator
has been oycrzoalous in the in
terest of a friend. The senator al
ways has boon true to his friends ,
oven these , for instance , who nro utterly
useless to him and cannot in any way advance -
vance his interests poll ticallyor otherwise.
As between Senator Van Wyck and Com
missioner Sparks in the matter of the
timber depredations wo side with Mr ,
Sparks. While Senator Van Wyck
claims that Hall has boon acting under
permission of a previous assistant secre
tary of the interior , we say that the per
mission never should have been given
because it was against the law as
defined by rulings that expressly
provide that timber shall not bo
out and transported for sale from ono
territory to another. It is manifestly
against public policy to allow parties to
maku merchandise indiscriminately out
of the public timber. This a fleets alike-
friend and foo. Mr. Sparks has been on
the right track from the beginning , and
is on the right road now. While the
senator Is lit ml.y of the opinion that an
injustice has boon ilono Hall , we trust ho
will not press the claim.
Dr. Miller ami tlio Horuld.
Wo cheerfully respond to the request
made by Dr. ( Jcorgo L. Miller to con-not
any wrong impression in regard to his
alleged intenllon of giving up his citi/.on-
ship in Omaha and the control of the
Omaha Herald. The doctor takes the
public Into his confidence by giving an
outline of his tuturo in a letter , from
which the following is an extract :
1 caniH Into active life In Omaha nearly
thirty-two years n o , I nm going out of It by
tlmsnme door , Omaha will always bo my
permanent residence and homo so long as 1
shall live. Neither Mr , Ulclmrdson or my
self has any plan or purpose to sell or sur
render their coutiol of the Ilemhl.
* * * * 1 do Intend to so anango my
alTalrs as to secure early and certain relief
liom the cares and labors , too severe at
times oven for a lobast man of 21 years. It
U true that I Intend to bo absent from Omaha
In New Yoik and elsewhere several months
In the year. While I u alUe nsclcaily as
others do that Nebraska , Omaha , and the
Herald long ago outflow any need of my
personal services as an editor , It Is only
proper that I should say that , * o far ns I now
know or bulleve , I shall retain my ownership
aud control of this property and paper.
UI'.OIIQK L. Mir.T.un.
It is hardly necessary for us to say that
this paper has given no currency to the
reuort that Dr. Miller proposed to aban
don Omaha and Nebraska with which ho
has been prominently iduutilied for moro
than a quarter of a century. It Is equally
unnecessary for us to retract anything
wo have said in regard lo the doctor or
his partner , Mr. Richardson giving up
the control of the Herald. There is no
need of lliclrmnking such a sacrifice , nor
is such n valuable property ns the Her
ald likely to bo thrown at auction into
the open marKCt. Tlmt Dr. Miller has
for years needed rest nnd recuperation
from exhausting editorial labors is well
known nnd it can surprise nobody to
learn that ho Intends to lake things moro
easy in the future Ho is financially in n
condition to do so , aud with a competent
stnfT whioh the Hcrttld now has , his
periodic absences from Omaha will not
bo seriously felt.
Whiskey nml Dynamite.
The main trouble in all these labor riots
is whiskoy. If liquor could bo kept away
from worklngmcn when they are on n
slriko , there would bo very little danger
to Ufa and properly. The anarchists nnd
communists who want to destroy prop
erty for the sake of building up a now
system are not numerous anywhere.
Sober worklngmcn would spurn their
counsels and refuse lo follow thorn in
any attempt to create disturbance. On
the contrary if the saloons and gin
mills were closed in every city
whore there arc labor troubles
the sober , moderate counsels of
conservative , honest laboring men would
prevail. They would reason with their
employers and adjust tholr differences
without resort to violence. Mayor Harrison
risen is largely to blame , in our opinion ,
for the fatal ufl'ecls of tlio Chicago riot.
He has now Issued a proclamation against
thca sscmbllng of crowds in the streets
nnd public meetings of agitators. Had iio
issued his proclamation at the outset to
close all the saloons until the trouble was
over , wo doubt whether there would have
been any bloodshed. Even now , as a
matter of safety , the saloons in Chicago ,
and inall other cities where
largo numbers of workingmcn l.avo
walked out of factories and mills is re
quired as a mailer of safely. Largo
droves of drunken men , whether they are
laborers or belong lo any olhcr class ,
are likely li bring about riots and com
mit outrages upon properly. If nl any
time there should bo any serious Iroublo
in Omaha wo should feel it Iho duty of the
innyor to close nil the saloons and keep
them closed until the trouble is over.
Dymunito is dangerous , but whisky and
dynamite together make a terrible com
bination.
Rni'OUTS from throughout the state
show that the acreage corn will bo great
ly increased in Nebraska tha ! year , es
pecially in the central and snuthnrn per
tions. Corn is the surest and the safest
crop for Nebraska farmers. Our soil and
climate are specially suited for its culti
vation. But , for all this , it is a question
whether wisdom docs not dictate a great
er diversity in the products of
our farms than has been the
case during the past five years.
The moro fact that the corn
crop is so certain and prolific ensures a
heavy nroduction and consequent low
prices. Where farmers are tnr removed
from the markets the cost of transporta
tion consumes n lartre part ot the profits.
If our farmers could bo brought to see
that corn on the hoof is more profitable
than corn on the car they would soon
notice the difference in their annual bal
ance sheets. Slock feeding in the
corn counlry would rcvolulionixe
many scclions of our slale.
With portions of the farms
turned into pasture and hay lands , the
corn fields would soon become largely
independent of railroad facilities , and
freight pools nnd combinations. The
establishment of canning factories
in several counties opens up a now avenue -
nuo for profit from truck farming. The
richest farmers of the cast are the vege
table growers of New Jersey and Long
Island. A few acres , carefully and in
dustriously lillcd in vegetables for which
there is a steady market , would bring in
handsomer returns than live times their
number in corn. With tlio crowth
of large cities and towns the hay
crop will become more and
moro important. The demand for first
c.ass timolhy hay is now grealcr than
the supply. Our farmers in the eastern
part of the stale will doubtless find it to
their advantage to turn their attention in
tlio direction of the hay field and tame
grasses grown on well fertilized ground.
In n largo portion of the northweslcrn
part of the state where the elevation is
high and the climate closely correspond
ing to that of the Black Hills , oats will
sooner or later bo one of the staple crops ,
The oat crop of the Cheyenne river , and
of the farms along the foot hills of the
Black Hills , scarcely fifty miles north of
Dawos county , is famous throughput the
west. There is no reason why equally
good crops should not be raised in north
western Nebraska.
SociAussr and anarchism linvo been
nursed In Chicago for seven years. The
red ling has waved unchallenged all that
time ; tlio incendiaries have had their
Sunday parades ; tholr picnics , and their
meetings unmolested. Chicago lias bcon
the headquarters and hot-bed of red-
handed communism , and It was eminent
ly proper that Chicago should bo given n
dose of anarchy and dynamite in order
lo bring that cily to a realization of the
facl lhat she was simply nursing a vol
cano , While many nro sutlering in con
sequence of the murderous warfare of
the anarchists , the result cannot bo otherwise -
wise limn salutary , not only upon Chicago
cage , but upon the whole country. The
days of the red flag in the United Stales
nro virtually ended. The uooplo every
where now realize the danger of permit-
ling incendiaries to enjoy the freedom
that is accorded to peaceable and honest
men. The communistic assassins will
never again bo permitted in any city in
this country to go unchecked as they
have in Chicago for years.
AT first it was a wild western congress
man who wns credited with having won
? 50,000 nt.pokcr during the past winter
at tlio national capital. Now it has been
narrowed down to a Nebraska congress

News to remark that it is glad to learn
that ono of our representatives is good
for something. Whoever the lucky gen-
tlcmnn is , ho is evidently looking out for
a big campaign fund for next fall.

The 1'roHpcroua Cnrcor of the Now
Town or Howard City.
IloWAun CITT , Howard Co. , May 4
[ Corrcspomlcncoof the BEI ; . ] During the
fall of 1835 , as the now road , O. 11. V. K
Railway branch of the Union Pnclllc wns
being built , great excitement prevailed ,
until at last It was known to all , thai
there was to bo a town aomo twenty odil
miles from St. Paul. Thu llrst train that
headed toward the now town sitc.renchud
its destination , November 10th. Then ,
there was only ono building under head
way , but the train \vis : well loaded with
the necessary materials , and workmen
were soon seen erecting buildings hero
and there. Since then ono building after
another has loomed up , until to-tlay wo
can count forty-live well constructed
buildings. It is n thriving industrious
town , not ono of your wayside towns wo
somotlmu.s sen. with dry goods , grocery
store , drug store and post olhco com
bined ; but an independent well to do
place. Several stores ot general mer
chandise , two drug stores , u hardware
store , moat market , three good first-class
western hotels , a line depot building ,
with lumber yards , grain buyers and
stock dualurs doing good business. The
mill , the most important features of tlio
town I mu.st not omit. It is as line a Hour-
iug ns nny western town can boast of ;
tlio machinery Is of the bust and will soon
bo in running order. The town has a
bank , also a good school , although the
school building is a short distance from
town ; but soon a school house is lo be
cruclud which will bo a credit to the
town , and ono her citi/.cns may well bo
proud of. SociotyKvory ono knows
the failings of a now town ; but consider
the age of this ono , not yet six months
old , but it has a good Sunday school
and all scorn interested and anxious to
attend.
Drop all business matters ; lay all en
terprises away lor a moment nnd notice
the situation of Howard. It is about
half way between St. Paul and Loup
City , just the right distance for : i thriv
ing town. It is ( ilttintcd a short distance
from Middle Loup river , just far enough
to give it a healthy , glowing appearance ,
anil cause those who stand on the rise of
hind just north of the town to turn nnd
with admiring eyes view the scone once
more. The land on which the town is
fiilunlod is suflicionlly high not to allow
low , dense fogs which arise froni the
river to soltlo thereon , thus causing un-
honlthiness. Boautif'il ' residence lots can
bo obtained. Just north of the business
part of town , which overlooks Ihe whole
town-site and the flowing river beyond.
Who would want a prettier or moro pic
turesque or hcnllliy site for a western
homo ? The land for miles in all direc
tions is lakcn and under cultivation , llitis
affording nnd supplying Ihu town's de
mands. A ferry-boat is in good running
order just south ot Ihe town , so the people
ple from tlio south side of Ihe Loup are
scon on Iho slriicls. II is hoped soon to
have a bridge rcross Iho stream. Slill
Iho work continues. Teams and men
are at Work on the south side of thn Mid
dle Loup , following the new line through
to North Platfo. Thus the town , afford
ing every possible advantage for im
provement. A. S.

Mr. Edwin Booth only fnils lo stand at
the head of the list of American moneymaking -
making actors this season for the reason
that he would not act moro than twenty
weeks of the season. His average re
ceipts during those twontv weeks were
$700 a night , or n tolnl of over $90,000.
Next year ho is paid $150.000 for 200
nights , but ho will have to work a great
deal harder , for Mr. Lnwronco Barrett
Intends to get all there is out of it. .
Next to Air. Booth in the proportion
mndu , but lirst in the actual amount ,
comes Mary Anderson. She will not see
less than iJlOQ.OW . ) as her profits of the
present tour. Hoi * terms are SO per cent
of the gross rcjcoivjts. The best week she
played to WHS $15,000 in Philadelphia ,
which would give her very nearly $5,000
for hnr shnro , but of course this was ex
ceptional. The business has averaged
probably about $10,000 a week , and the
ficapon lasts about thirty-two weeks.
Strange to say , Miss Anderson is disap
pointed at tills result. She expects more ,
for when she first came , it will bo re
membered , seats were put at $ > 3.50apioco.
but very wisely nnd disurcotly dropped
to * ? 1 (50 ( , Which Hlie has been playing to
all through the country.
Mr. Joseph JaU'orson , who is one oLtho
money-making stars , also cut his season
quita short HUH year. He acted for about
sixteen weeks , and thnro wns no single
week of that time that he did not make
over $2,000 , for his own share.
Lotta tins not boon doing us well this
year as In the past. Tlio public insist up
on taking bur to be older than f.lio is , nnd
thorolsa material decrease in receipts
compared with what used to bo her
record. She works nwny ao hard as over ,
though , arid is ns noxious for the cxcitu-
mimt of the stage. This really accounts
for her continuing this hard llfowhensho
has a. fortune in her own hands already
of fully a7 ! > ,000.
Mr. Bnrrutt will not make much
monny this year. The defection of Louis
James nnd Maria. Wainwnght gave him
a biul blow from which ho has not re
covered , and it is very likely ho will end
his so.ison only a triilo bettor off than at
its beginning.
Mnggio Mitchell is slili piling up the
ducats. She hns had sumo phunoiuuiml
business at certain places , nnd is yet one
of the most popular r.tar.s before the
public. This in spile of the fact that she
started a good many years before Lotta.
She IH n tough little woman , who look : )
almost ns wull to-dny as ten years ngo.

tIl has aided nor very Inrcoly. It is a
