THE OMAHA 1 > AILY B&E ; FRIDAY , MAY 14. 1886. fo THE DIFFICULTY BRIDGED , Walter J , Lamb Solves tha Problem of Lin- cola's Pavembnt. A FIRE DEPARTMENT TEST. J/lticolu Having 25,000 Mny Oivo Us O\vn noniH AVhloti Flro liopnrt- incnt Will 1)0 Champion ? Two ToiiRlis Uaotl Up. IrnoM TIIK nnr.'s i.tor.x nu n t T.I Mr. Walter J. l ainb. the well known attorney , hns risen llko u modern Moses to load the pcoplo of Lincoln out of the bondage in which they urn hold by an an- liquated and inadequate charter , into thn promised land of sewered and well puvod streets. The disposition of Lincoln prop erly owners to inaugurate and carry to completion an extunslvo work in public improvements this year is well under stood , provided the city charter , lit its present Hhaiio.-confors power on the mu nicipal authorities to lloat bonds for such purposes. Opinion on this point Is pretty well divided , and , as stated in the 1)KK ) Wednesday , the Hrst inov of the paving committee appointed by Mayor Hurr waste to ask the advice ut the loading lawura as to whether the work could bo proceeded with until the charter had been submitted to the legislature for amendments. Up to last night no an- BWOM had been received by the committee. Mr. Lamb , in a conversa tion with Chairman llillingsly Wednes day evening , however , suggested a move which looks like a comiuon-son.se solu tion of tho. problem. When the Douglas county delegation had the charter of the olty of Omaha amended by the legislature of 1831 , the act was made a general one. Under it any city having 25,000 inhabit ants can , by proclamation of thn gover nor , be elevated into a city of the first class with all the rights and privileges belonging to .such municipal corpora tions. Among tin-so rights is the much sought for power to carry on works of public improvements , issue bonds to pay ior the same , and collect taxes to meet tiie bonds when due. Mr. Lamb would have the city council order a census taken , and like all other wide-awake men , in confident that the popula tion would foot up fully 25,000. This fact could bo ccrtllied to the governor , who , on petition of the inter ested parties , would issue a proclamation declaring Lincoln entitled to the benefits of the net governing and regulating cities of the first class. In order to make sure of the legality of the proceedings , the proceedings could bo unjoined and the matter taken to the state supreme court where an allirmative opinion would setnt rest forever whatever doubts the mossback - back element might have. The plan , to bo mire , emanates from a lawyer , but it will commend itself to every careful , thinking man as an easy , quick and economical way out ot the iniro of indecision in which the ruling powers are how floundering. If the opinion of the lawyers is clear on the point that the proposed improvements can bo carried on under the present charter , well and good. If not , then let Air. Lumb have a hand in engineering the municipal machine. What the people of Lincoln want is good sewers and well paved streets as quickly and vyitb as little rod tape and cost as pos sible. If Mr. Lamb's plan will accom plish this it should adopted/It is a strong point in its favor that Chairman Uillingsly , of the paving committee , en dorses it very warmly , and is , if the UEK man is not badly mistaken , entitled to a little credit for assisting at its birth. HITCHING ur cONTKsr. In accordance with a suggestion by the chief engineer of the Chicago lire depart ment there will bo a "hitching tip" test at noon on Decoration Day in every city in the United States whore there is u paid lire force. Three judges in each city will record the time and telegraph it to Washington as soon as the test is over , from which place the name of the champions will bo sent out by the Asso ciated press. The trial will consist of getting the horses hitched to the hose cart or engine as quickly us possible after the alarm gong is tap ped , the driver to bo in his scat and hold ing the reins ready to drive out. The distance of the stalls from the hitohing- up place is to bo accurately measured , and will bo taken into consideration in fixing the winning time. The Lincoln boys arc in training for the event and have done the work several times this week in seven seconds , the horses being stabled nearly thirty feet from the polo. TWO TOUOIIS ON A TKAlt. Yesterday morning two hard looking characters , giving their names as Leo and Byrnes , wore hold up in police court for $25 and costs each , in dutault of which they were assigned quarters in jail. The evidence against thorn showed that on Wldnobday afternoon , after working lui/fil / some time in drinking beer with c/nio cronies on O street , between Four teenth and Fifteenth , Lee and liyrnos be gan abusing a man at work wheeling brick for Contractor Hughes on u job near by. Leo was especially abusive and badgered the man to tight for a $5 note. 'Finally ' Mr. Hughes went out and ordered the agitators away , and in return received a blow la the face if om Leo. Hughes nt once grappled him , and after choking his wind on , literally pitched him through a doctor's ollico next door , a window pane , wire screen , and steve that stood in the way , being badly demoralized. Byrne , in the meantime - time , had started to stab Hughes in the back with a knife , but ran against a sturdy briokmnson named Hardy , who took nil the tight out of him. When the row was over Leo and Uyrno wont to their boarding house on Eighth street , where the luttor got an iron knuckle and started out with the avowed intention of killing the d d bricklayers. While ongagcu in the hunt for a victim the toughs wore collared by the police , and for a month at least will drink blood-in their dreams in jail. 1IUIKK MENTION. Tii 111 old , the man matched to run Hourihan of Omaha a twenty-llvo mile race In this city on Wednesday next for $200 , is in active training , and makes a .showing very satisfactory to his backers. In a trial spin of 1'JJ miles yesterday morning he finished strong in time that mailo the record look very sick. The best mark for twenty-five miles is 2:31:41 : : , but it is likely to bo loss when the race la over.

Now York Sun : "Aly impression of Monte Carlo , " said Prof. Joseph Manor , yesterday , "I have but one it is a dream. On entering ono Js delighted , surprised , amu/.od.tiHtouiidod and stunned seriatim. Flowers and music , coin and notes , des pair , and Ruceess , beauty , fashionwealth all combined to nnprc s the beholder , nnd it is HOIIIU timu before lie can begin to study systematically ids surroundings. It in only when ho emerges again into thn cool nir that ono can appieclato his own identity. "Do not credit the recent denials of suicides at Mnntu Carlo , " continued the professor. "Thoy are inspired. I have visited the gambling hull there fifteen times professionally , in addition to a number of trips made for my own pleas ure. 1 was born in French Switzerland , S.00 miles from Monte Carlo , and am familiar with its ghastly history during the last twelve years. You may take my word for it that the number of suicides caused directly by the Monte Carlo gam ing tables averages at least ono for every day In thn year. The real total probably exceeds this. " Prof. Hatter is ono of the youngest , handsomest , and most popular guides in central Europe. Ho has just , returned from lini/il to take charge of n party of twenty American tourists , of whom twelve have already engaged passage with him. The party will probably sail from this city on the steamer Normandio May 12th for Havre , returning by way of Liverpool throe months later. Prof , liauer spunks English. German , French , Span ish , and Italian , and every hotelkeopcr and hack-driver on the route is his sworn friend. As so much has been written and so little accurately told concerning MoutoCarlo.ho was requested to describe the world's most famous gambling hull. "I can close my eyes and mentally see everything in and about Monte Carlo , " ho continued , "but it is not so easy to re- uroduco such a picture in words on short notice. " Prof. Bauer talked interestingly of what ho had scon of the tragedies at the gaming tables. Ho said : "I have spent many months there altogether , and it was a rare day when no ruined and despair ing man killed himself. Some days wo had as high as throe or four such casual- tics. If a stranger kills himself his body is dragged away , the blood cleansed from the lloor and the game goes on. I have hoard nlaycrs mutter curses at a corpse for having interrupted their 'series' or confused their 'system. ' If the victim bo a stranger , nobody knows what becomes of the body , except some of the special police , whose duty it is to conduct such funerals in their own mj-storious way. If the ruined player goes out into the grounds before shooting or stabbing him self , or drowns himself in ono of the beautiful fountains , even the players who sat bcsido him a moment before never learn of his death. These things are known to the habitues of the tables , but they novcr speak of them outside. The newspapers of Monaco and Nice are heavily subsidized , and those of Paris , Lyons , and Marseilles pay no attention to Hiioh tritlcs. Letters to the editors on this forbidden subject are quickly thrown into the great international waste-basket. With a largo and well-traincu police force constantly at hand , with nn indiffer ent set of patrons , oiul a willfully blind press , these little episodes are much more easily screened than you would imagine. If the suicide bo a powerful noble or a celebrity in any way , the affair is men tioned briefly in the French and English newspapers and the announcement cabled to this country. Everybody knows why the man made away with himself , and the only question is : 'Who will be noxtt' "It is almost impossible to prevent these flolf-murdcrs , as the act is usually committed under some powerful impulse. Everybody's mind nnd oycs arc , of course , intent on the game , and so many haggard men get up Irom the tables that the sight is too common to engage the attention of the over-present detectives. It is but just , however , to say that the managers do everything in their power to prevent suicides , except closing their doors. Mechanics and artisans arc not permitted to live either in Monaco or Monte Carlo. "If an unfortunate player gets up from a table and acts wildly 'crazy , ' they call it , for all suicides are by courtesy es teemed crazy at Monte Carlo ho 13 hustled oil by a couple of stalwart policemen - men nnd put on n train for Nice. A guard is constantly with him , his board bill at Nice is paid by the company , and if ho finally talks reasonably lie is given enough money to take him homo in first class stylo. The management also en deavor to discourage uying on the pre mised by aiding destitute gamblers. If one lias lost heavily and frankly states his condition ol temporary poverty , his case will be promptly investigated. Should it be found ns nitrated , lie will bo given two or throe hundred dollars to take him homo , or an order for two weeks' board at ono of the company's lirstclass hotels. " Bill Nye on Jen" Davis. I sco that Mr Jefferson Davis , who lias recently entered tha lecture field , says thnt there could have boon no nobler cause for whioh to die , no opportunity more glorious for a proud and honorable death , than that afforded the confederate soldier who espoused the uauso of the south twenty years ago. Looking at it in that way , I ask , in all candor , why did not Mr. Davis improve that glorious op portunity ? Feeling that way about it , why did ho not remove his polonaise and die lika a man ? Why did ho lot such a chance go by , in order that ho might en ter the lecture Held and crowd out butter moil , and tliun die of old ago , when ho could have hung up his hooimkirt on a tree and died in a way that would have cndoared him to every southern heart ? I agree with tha lamented A. Ward that "it would have boon $25 in Mr , Davis'2 pocket if. hs hail noycr boon born. " but after ho was born auu it was too late to oousidor his rash act. he should have died as young as possible. With characteristic tardiness , however , ho allowed himself to grow up. and then with the full knowledge , as ho now ad mits , thnt the war of the rebellion afforded - od a beautiful opportunity for a man who yearuod to die in a neat and attractive way , ho fritted away thnt golden moment and continued to destroy the high-priced groceries of the despondent south. There is certainly "a tide in the affairs of men which , taken at the Hood , leads on to fortune , " and Mr. Davis surely missed it when ho neglected tp make u funeral tableau of himself , Itattlo of Gettysburg Open every day ; 10 a. m. to 10 p. in. , St. Mary's ave , and 16th st. HELD ANPrABM. The Education of Horses. Now York HoraHl : Denton Offtitt who printed in 1850 a book on horse educa tion , which ho furnished to his pupils under a bond of secrecy nnd nt a cost of three hundred dollnrs each , emphasized the fact that there was a wide diilorcnco between breaking an animal nnd teach ing it to obey. Hrcaklng a horse , ho in sisted , commonly meant spoiling it. The system which ho thought was based upon judgment , study of temperament and lirnincss divorced from cruelty. Ho classed under three heads the one-food animals which stood in greatest need of education "tho .wild , the stubborn and the fighting horse/ ' And his lirst cait- tlon was , "Ho kind to thorn in all things. " The rules laid down by OlYtitt for teach ing horses to heed the word of command are essentially the same as those prac- ti ? < od by his followers. The most careful of the instructors have enlarged upon his method of treatment , but they have not attempted to get away from tlio roots of plan. In the quaint dialogue "between man and horse , " as written by Deiiton Olfutt , and which contained the essence of all that the painstaking instructor Haroy ever taught , those golden words drop from oqtiino lips : "You must let mo see that you will not hurt mo , nor will hnvo anything about you that will , nor anything that smells badly. I am a stranger to you , all that will offend any of the five senses I will bo compelled to guard agaist , nnd the o houses must have proof that you will not hurt mo be fore I will allow .your hands to bo on inc. " Every man who In the last thirty odd years has successfully illustrated the art of subduing horses has stuck to the rule which requires an appeal to the under standing of the animal. The devices which Olfutt used for throwing and get ting full control of unruly horses wore cruder than those in present use , but the principle has undergone , no change. And the advice which Oll'uttg.vvo his class in 1851 is valuable to these who seek instruc tion now : "You must hnvo some judg ment of your own , for I cannot point out the case to suit you all. If 1 teach you the rules and principles you must work out the sum. " Improved Stock. Western Agriculturist : The irrcat masses of western farmers arc now act ively interested in the improvement of their live stock. Many of our leading public spirited men nro importing nnd breeding the best pure blood stock to bo found in tno civili/.ed world , and all the different breeds have their enthusiastic admirers. The professional importers nnd breeders supply to the farmer the full bloods with wnich the great work of improvement is so successfully being ac complished all over our land for a thou sand miles each way , m which the great state of Illinois as a central figure , takes the lead. The improved stock nnd nioro grass makes our farmers more inde pendent of failing crops or wet and dry seasons. The progressive farmers grail- ing up their farm stock , using only full blood sires , rriso good grade stock at a handsome profit. SJiort-Ilorns as Milkers. The generality of American ShortHorn - Horn breeders have bred to beef almost exclusively , allowing this once famous milking as well as beef breed to become a thing of the past as regards milk. English breeders , however , are waking up to the importance of tha Short-Horns as milkers , and are beginning to show milk and butter records ns a means of selling these cattle. This is presented for the lirst time in a sale of Short-Horns by Mr. Edwards , of St. Allnins , in which , to quote from an English journal , ho " and feature" "presents a now interesting in his catalogue. It consists of nineteen young bulls and ten heifers to be sold , und notes are attached at the bottom of each pedigree showing the milk yield of tli" dam of each bull , and in some cubes of the grandam. A sample foot note roads as tollows : "Flower of Spring was in milk 357 days , and cave 8,310 pounds of milk ; average per day , 25 ! pounds 14 ounces ; percentage of cream , 12.0 ; fat , 3.2 ; solids , 13.0 ; specific gravity , 1.030. " The English are scientific or nothing. The American would have stated at once how much butter or ctieeso the milk made , and also the profit of feeding the skim milk to hogs. The departure , now- over , is in the right direction in respect to bringing this once famous milking breed back to its original excellence. These animals have the heredity in them. It onlv wants bringing out by using bulls of milking strains to again arouse this dormant faculty of giving milk and plenty of it. The herds hero nnd there in America that have boon bred with re lation to this and atavism , among many herds , resulting in an occasional extraor dinary milker , would prove that this hereditary milk faculty is difficult to cul tivate. Enemies of Seed Corn. A Now England contemporary gives a plan for preventing crows from pulling " corn. It is to soak" the corn in a weak so lution of copperas ( sulphate of iron ) twenty-four hours before planting. To make it easy to drop , and to prevent the iron from injuring tno hands , rub the corn in gypsum or plaster. This method , it savs , will prevent crows from destroy ing the corn and save the farmer much annoyance and labor. The west is not much troubled with crows , but the crow blackbird commits great depredations in some sections of the west by pulling corn. The great dif ficulty in tno west is from the ravages of the cut-worm , heurr-wonn nnd wire- worm. The soaking of corn in any liquid , medicated or otherwise , is not practicable in the west , since soaked corn cannot bo properly distributed from machines. If some experimenter would only devise some moans to prevent the depredations of insect posts on the seed and sprouted corn ho would indeed bo a benefactor , A thorough smoking of the seed has boon recommended , but experi ments have not been so conclusively made M to learn how far the smoking of corn may bo carried withoutiniurytotliogorm and nt the same time rendering it obnox ious to the larva ) of insects , Importance of Food in the Develop ment of Breeding Stock. The breeding of all farm nnimnls re quires not only skill in mating. HO that proper conformation may bo brought about , but during the growing life of the animal the food must bo of such a nature ns best to develop the animal for the purpose for which it is required. The brooding animals in cattle , sheep and swine must receive dilfuront breed ing from that whore'tho short life ends at tha slaughter house. The breeding ani mal must , bo fully developed in cyery part. The animal brought to the block at 1 , 0 , or 3 years of ago requires only such bony und muscular development us will enable it to lay on the proper amount of fat to bring the muscla into the best condition for food. Hut the brooding' animal must bo developed in the speeitio qualities to bo inherited by the offspring. In the breeding of horses all this must receive tha most careful uttoution. The bono and musole giving strength nml speed to the horse , together with the form and perfect symmetry that always nc- company these attributes , must oo care fully guarded. Here the similarity in the rearms of horses and other live stock ends , Whhthor for breeding , labor or work , every colt must bo fed from colt- hood up with a view to the perfect devel opment of bone and musolo. Full as much depends upon the feeding as invtho breeding of the horso. Not only this , however good the food , if the proper care bo not given ass to vsholtor nnd no loss In oxcroise. the find can only result In low for however good the strain of blood the horse cannot roa h ttiat perfection to bring the best , pu > ilt for the inonoy in- J vested. } Mntift fttid Horse * . An Idaho conlWpprary acknowledges that Kentucky held the palm during many years forf raising line horses , that her reputation was deserved , and that the state is sliljL producing line horses , nml alleges tlml , now "tho country west of the Kocky Mountains must bo given the palm for producing th0 best and fin est horse * to bolfwfml anywhere in the world. " It is , hlso remarked that "it costs o morn to raise a horse that is worth from $109 to $ ; )00 ) or more than it dues tnrnlsanSU ) cay use ; besides good hurxc * command a readier sale than pjor onus , and in numberless ways thu ad vantage is in raising good horses. " The iwson who inspired the article evidently knows us little about where the best horses uro produced as ho does of thn relative cost of raislnc "plugs" as against blooded horses. The service of the blood stallion sometimes amount to $1,000 or moro , to say nothing of the ox trcmo earn used in raising tlio progeny. It will bo a long time bolero line stock- breeding establishments urn removed from the great Stoek-brordlug centres of tha states east of and immediately west of the Missl ippi to iho mountain valleys of Idaho , valuable as that region may be for thu summer and winter graz ing of largo herds. A guiding that sells for over S300 must have training us well us spued and bottom. All this costs money. Hints and Suggestions. The roots of the strawberry often roach out live feet from the main stem , and bunco the plants should not bo sot out too thickly. Early gardening lengthens thu growing season , und permits , at times , of two crops on the same land , us turnips may follow peas , and time is thereby gained for putting in late crops , Hybrid perpetual roses should bo well pruned baolc , and old or weak shoots should bo cut off entirely. The tn > ng shoots slunilil not bo lolt longer than three or four buds or ioints from the baso. Dry soil is an excellent mulch , espe cially if kept loose , when it becomes a cushion of air , to a certain extent , and as the air is a non-conductor of heat the roots of the plants arc thereby partially protected during times of drought. Pork can bo made at the least cost when the hogs are fed on a variety of food. Corn for fattening is tno best food and cannot bo excelled , but us a solo diet it is ver.y expensive compared with a mixed diet of bulky and concentrated food. As the weather is becoming warmer the cellars should bo thoroughly cleaned , in order that no decaying .substance may bo present when tlio crops of this season are ready for storage. Not only should they be cleaned but. the walls should bo whitewashed and'tllo ceiling thoroughly disinfected. A cow that \volffed , in order to in duce her to yiplil as ( nuch as her capacity will permit , gives u. , protit not only In milk and butter , bjit the value of her manure is greater th'iin thnt Irom a cow which has been Wglectcd. Thn average estimate of the Value of the manure from a herd of wcll-fiU cMvs is $10 per annum. Squash and swcct'-potato vines having rootlets that grow > ut from the undqr sides of the joints\vliieli anchor them and prevent thewind from dislodging them , should bo' lifted very carefully when growing , TIS the rootletS not only hold the plants hi place but assist in pro curing nouishmcht ? und any damage done in handling retards the vines. Mr. II. Gr-Stoll , an experienced breeder of swine , thinks pine tar should bo given freely to keen the kidneys in good work ing order and promotes the appetite. He does not believe there is any remedy known'for curing hog cholera , but be lieves it mav be prevented by cleanliness nnd a variable diet. In England the Shorthorns nro regarded - ' ed as excellent dairy cattle , followed by the A.yrshiros. In Ireland the Kerry cow is the favorite , while in this country the Holstein is considered the heaviest milker. The Jersey and Guernsey cattle tlo are regarded as superior buttor-pro- aucors in America und Europe , the Dovons make the best oxon , and the Herefords , Shorthorns , Angus and Gallo ways the best and greatest proportions of beef.

In spite of the old-fashioned theory upheld by bad penmen undoubtedly that the poorer a man's handwriting is the more character it has , the majority of letter-writers , authors , scholars , and journalists uro envious ot the clerk and copyist with their ono talent for writing a clear and bountiful hand. As a nation wq have 'sadly degenerated in the art of using the pen. Comparing the beautiful nnd uniform handwriting of the last cen tury with the skim-along , spider-track , rail-fence style of the present day , ono almost regrets the , fact that the goosequill has gene out of fashion und a stiff and awkward writing Implement boon sub stituted in its stead. A fortune awaits the man who will invent u flexible writ ing stick not a goltt pen tipped with platinum ot some non-corrosive mate rial. rial.It It is so hard to break m u pun ; and having worn down tho" point to suit your style , they are likely to snap or spluttos before you huvo tossed off a do/on pages of manuscript.

COUNTY LETTER Ilnpld Development or Central Ne braska , llcttcr Known ax the "Great American Desert. " HIUIWSTKK , Nob. , May 10,1880. [ Corre spondence of the HUB. ] As many of your renders may not be awnro of the rapid development of central Nebraska , the honrt of the "Grout American Desert - sort , " a few lines from a resident of Blaine county may bo of value to these seeking homos. Two years ago this county had not to exceed lit Icon to twen ty-live people within its pto.iout limit , which can now boast of between six and ( tight hundred intelligent , sober nnd industrious people , who almost exclu sively speak the Knglish language. Illnlno county is. without doubt , the most pro lific portion of the sand-hill country , four-fifths of our territory producing the lihest wheat , oats , rye , barley or corn that , can bo grown in the slnte. Potatoes , turnips , vegetables of all kinds , pump- kiiu , squashes , melons , sweat potatoes und peanuts being especially adapted to our soil and climate , have proved a com plete success. Four-lifths of the laiiil of Blaliio coun ty is yet unoccupied , and is open for homcstoml , pre-emption or timber-claim entry , there being no railroad or specula tor laud in the county. Claims are near ly all taken along the North Loup valley , though .somo could be bought ut a low figure by persons wishing to make un immediate residence. Hrow.stcr , tlio only platted nnd sur veyed town in the county , is located on the North Loup river , the most bountiful stream of the county , and will doubtless be announced the county seat of liluino county before tins article reaches the reader. The town has a postollice , vith two mail routes , a newspaper the Brow- ster News with ojio of the be.it printing- ollices of the interior part of the state , a blacksmith shop , a hotel , while a harness shop , drug store , und loan , insurance und real estate ollieoaro among the cer tainties for the near future. A dry goods , general merchandise , hardware store und every other line of business would do well in this town und uro wanted at onco. Lots uro now worth from $ -V5 toiiWO , but the proprietor of tlio town is giving lots uwity to persons milk ing inuniuliuto and valuiblu improve ments. It is only two weeks since Brew- stor was surveyed , but many lots have already been disposed of. A special effort will be mudo to secure a good flouring mill at this place before full , us the North Loup river will furnish abun dant power to run all the muchinor.y our people wish to attach to it. There is government land within from ono to five miles of town yet unoccupied , while the smoothest and best hind near the place is taken. The soil of Bluino count ? is spotted , sandy soil , with a clay subsoil.

SANO-HILI. CRANK. Land Hcforrn and the Labor Troubles A'ao I'oi ft Herald. When an American workingman now adays feels deeply dissatisfied with his condition ho has open to him a refuge on the public lands. He is entitled by law to ono hundred and sixty acres of hind , free of cost except the small fee for secur ing his title. Ho has only to select it and tjike Ins family there to live on it. From the day they are settled on this home stead they arc independent people no man's hirelings , while the man who takes this stop may not hnvo the good fortune to acuumiunto a competency , ho will be his own master , and ho has the sura expectation that if ho is industrious nnd economical his children will ho left in a better eondition of life. They will "grow up with the country. " us the say- ink is. There can bo no prolonged or serious la bor troubles in this country while we have still a great .iron of public lands fit for the settlement ot our people , held for their homesteads , nnd open to them us a harbor of refugo. While this alternative of settlement on free lands remains the thriftiest , the most energetic , the shrewd est and most intelligent of those millions who earn their living by laboring for others will always take navantugo of it. Thousands of them do tins every year ; hundreds of thousands , when they feel uncomfortable or uneasy as the servants of corporations look forward to this way of independence and are quieted in spirit because they know thut it they wunt to they can go west and take up a "homo stead. " Herein lies the extreme importance of vigilantly guarding our public domain , of reclaiming for the public use and bone- lit every acre wrongly claimed by corpo rations , syndicates or other land grab- bora , and of repealing at once all laws which favor the grabbing of these hinds by speculators of whatever kind. 'Whenever the American workman is discontented , and discovers that ho has no way out of the situation which has be come unpleasant to him , this American workman will bo an uncommonly dan gerous person , Ho is moro intelligent than the European workman. Ho bus a stronger will. Ho is fonder of his family and looks further ahead for their welfare , While ho can go und take up a free homestead and make himself and his wife and children independent , though ho may not actually do this , ho yet will not go to any extremes , because that way is open to him. But whenever our pub lic domain is exhausted , or nearly so , the labor problem will assume in this country u very different , a very much moro seri ous plmso than it bears now. Speculators , syndicates , land grabbers of many varieties are seizing on millions of acres every year. The lands unjustly claimed by railroads alone , ever nnd above what they uro justly entitled to , amount to nearly a hundred million acres enough to give live million ucoplo in a million families n hundred-aero farm each. In twenty-five years , with the greatest euro , the public domain will be narrow dangerously small. That is why the Herald hns exposed land grabber1 , Why it defends Land Commissioner Sparks ; who so bravely faces the land snurkss why it urges tl.o president nnd emigres , to tnko this matter of land reform in hand. Our future pcaco and welfare depend on it. * John II.
