Yesterday , the closing day of llic school year at the State University , dawned cool nud pleasant. Although the strocls under foot were muddy and the crossings wretched , the procession as arranged upon from their campus grounds to the opera house , whore the commencement exercises were held , was carried out nearly as advertised , the cadet band marching at thu head and furnishing in spiring music to the senior.- ) , who , by these final exercises , Mulshed lliclrcourse. The university the past year seems to have enjoyed much prosperity , both In attendance and in the work done by pro fessors and students. Peace and har mony seems to prevail between tlio re gents , llic faculty and the students , and It is very evident thai Iho people c f Lin coln appreciate the university , anil cuter i "o Us work and associations with com mendable spirit. The enormous expense that the university Incurs upon llio state Is well known , and It might safely bo doubted It returns were commensurate witli the outlay. But if tlio institution grows , the few years that clapao before its register shows Iho number of students that ought to bo found within Us walls may bo passed by as preparatory years , and Iho real prolit of the school negins , In comparison with past years the pros pects ot ( ho Rlatu university seem to a great majority of llio people lo bo bright and full of promise.

Tlio musical numbers on Iho programme were of n very high order and admirably rendered , making llie exorcises as enjoyable and pleasant as any could desire. IMPHOVnilKNTS AT WKST LINCOLN' . A gentlemen will arrive from St. Louis to-day , who comes for llio express pur pose of pulling m a manufactory of drain pipes , water pipes and tiling , and who comes with capital sufliciciit to back up however larfje an establishment the market here ana the patronage 'of Lin coln people may require. Heretofore this party has made complete and satis factory tests of the clay to bo used in-tho manufactory , and it is pronounced num ber one in every respect. This new branch of business \yill bo an important one to tlio capital city , and no doubt will develop into a sub- Hlanlhil institution that will supply much of the demand for pipes and tiling that exists in this section of the country. On Tuesday of tbis week a prominent capitalist of Chicago was in the city , look ing with the especial view of opening a pork packing establishment , and while no definite stops were taken in that re gard , ho expressed himself us highly pleased with Lincoln enterprise aim ha location for such work. THE FirZOEUALD STOCK SALE opened yesterday and was largely at tended by stockmen , boib locally and from points In the state. About two hun dred head are up for sale , and llio pros- poets scorn to bo promising that the sale will bo a success. The rapid growth lhat Nebraska is making as a slock slalot and especially in the line stock line , is illus trated in just such sales ns this , wherein 200 head of thorough-bred stock is offered for sale at one time , and most of it Ne braska born and bred stock at that , which equals in growth and quality the stock of nny eastern breeders.

Washington ( June 3) ) special to tlio Now York Tribune ; In pursuance of its determination to gti.ird the Interests of settlers on the public domains as opposed to corporations , the senate to-duy passed Mi. Van Wyck's bill to provide for the taxation of railroad grant lands. Tlio methods by which corporations have escaped thuir share of taxation In son < c of the western status and territories were fully disclosed In the debate on this bill. Mr. Hoar withdrew his amendment to limit the ownership of lands sold for taxes under this act to 040 acres. Ho withdrew it , ho said , because It might 1m- pmlo the passage of thu measure. In doing so , however , ho replied to some of the nrgiimoiiU advanced bv Air. Kvnrts nirainst tlio amendment. In closing , Mr. lloar , looking at Mr. Kvarts , said : "The people will not longer bo content with thu wind of any rhetoric , no matter from what vl'olian harp it may come , in stead of solemn facts. " Mr. Van Wyck skilfully nidcd the prompt passage of the bill -in the house by getting it substituted , all except tlio ti'tlii , for tlio house bill recently passed on the same subject. Ho then itsKed for a conference committee. Tlio following are the provisions of the bill , as passed : "No land- , granted to nuy railroad company hv act of congress shall be exempt liom taxa tion by states , tenltories or niunlclnat corpor ations on uccount of the loin ot the United States on such lands for cost of surveying , .selecting and convoying , or because no patent had been Issued on the lauds ; this provision not to npnlyihowover.to lands uiiMirvcyrd.

AlMntoh Tor Ilnilroad Imivycra. Now York Times. May 20 : The bill for feiting the. unearned lands of the North ern Pacific railroad was the subject of a lively debate in tlio senate yesterday , in which Mr. Van \Vyek siiowcd himself more than a match for the railroad law yers who make up such a large part of that body. The house bill provides for a forfeiture of all the lauds that had not been earned by the company ou July 4 , 1879 , and the strict justice of it can hardly bo disputed. * * * * Considering that thu time for completing the road in order to bo entitled to the grant oxmred years ago , this caunot bo regarded as se vere. Scimtor Van Wyclc's Strategy. New York Herald special , Juno 8 : The senate , on the motion of Senator Van Wyck , did n very good thing to-day. Having passed iv bill for tno taxation of railroad grant lands , Mr. Van Wyck moved that this bill bo substituted for a bill passed by the house , and also before the senate , different in terms , but intended to have the same general affect. The sonata voted , therefore , tirst to substitute thu wording of the senate bill for the house bill ; then it voted to substitute the title of the senate bill for that of the house bill. bill.By this device the senate bill goes back to the house as an amendment of the house bill nnd goes to n conference com mittee. instead of being laid away at the tail of the calendar ; and as the house public lands committed is ready to accept the senate bill , this is now certain to be- coma a law. Without this good man agement on the part of Mr. Van Wyck it might have gone over to the next session. The object of the bill is to put n stop to the evasion by land grant roads of state and local taxation on their lands. In three sessions of congress futile efforts have been made to accomplish this en tirely proper and just result , but tlio ' 'cor poration" senators ami representatives liavo always prevented it. Public opin ion is now niakin * itself felt Tory strongly here on land matters uud with tlio best cllect in congress. Defeating Ilallroatl Senators. Washington special to Now York Times : This has been a Hold dry for Mr. Van Wyck in the senate. Ho astonished tlioso who know the mako-up of the sonata by defeating Mr. Edmund's at tempt to table his amendment to the Northern Pacifio. forfeiture bill , and than for the rest of the session ho debated suc cessfully , with senator after senator , and .sometimes with two or thruo together. Messrs. Edmunds , Dolnh , and Mitchell tried hard to have the forfeiture bill loft in the shapa the railroad wanted it , for feiting only the lauds on the route be tween Wnlluln , Washington Territory , and Portland , Oregon. Mr. Van Wyck'u amendment provided for the forfeiture of nil lands not earned by the road at the of the passage of the bill. * Mr. Kdimmd showed how much ho felt the defeat of his tabling motion by de claring that the forfeiture bill had been "bo-deviled" until the - people might bo excused for thinking that the railroad company had bought , misled , and hood winked the senate. Ho sneered at Air , Van Wyck's ' zonl for tlio interest ot the public , and accused him of trying to sub- sldl/.o the Union Pacific road by propos ing wallow the money deposited by that company in the treasury to be used in building blanch lines. Mr. \ an Wyck answered Mr. Edmunds In a way that did not at all ploasa that sonator. Mr. Dolnh undertook to discompose tlio Nebraska senator , and made a dismal failure. Air. Mitchell tried the sumo thing and met the same fate , Then thu two Oregon senators and Mr Edmunds together plied Mr. Van Wvck with questions , and found him ready to answer each with a retort that was right to the point. Mr. Harri son was equally unsuccessful in his at tempt to overthrow the Nebraska sena tor. After all thcso had been silenced tha last attack on Mr. Van Wyck was made by Mr. Plumb , who would have felt better satisfied with liimsolf after it was over if ho had loft the Nebraska eon- ator alono. Mr. Van Wyck is always more oflcutlvo when engaged in a sharp running debate than when making a set s pouch , and the manner in which ho handled each senator who opposed him to-ttay was watched with the greatest glue by n majority of his colleagues , who enjoyed the debate moro than similar discussion this session. Tho' Work of Three Sessions. Ntw York Times : The Van Wyou bill is the result of hard work in tiireo con- gressod , und the- failure to pass some measure of the kind iu the last two con- trresses is now regarded as a good thing. The advocate : ! of tha proposition began by trying to muku the granted lamJs. sub to taxation hy having the govern ment give quit-claim deeds for the lands. This was to overcome the objection that , as the railroads might some time give up lands to thcgaycrjimcnt , they should not bo taxed. Tlioji it was proposed , as in the house bill ol tilts year , to make the taxation bill apply only to certain roads , The bill finally pas eu last week make ? nil the granted lauds of the railroads sub ject to taxation. It was the purpose of the friends of the railroads to play the house bill ugajnst thu senate bill until until both were killed by the close of the session. Mr. Van WyckYs strategy has in sured a bill broader and stronger than the friends of luxation believed they could gel throughboth houses. The Bonus lliUtcr 1)111. New York Times ; It looked very much as if Mr. Miller had too strong odds against him. when Mr. Van Wyck came to his aid with a speech which stirred up the .senators in a way that greatly enter tained thn galleries. He contented that thu hill was one to protect the people from fraud nnd Imposition and that It was in no sense a revenue bill , the lav clause being a mere incident. Ho had not spoken many minutes before senators be gan to interrupt. Mr. Ihitlcr began ask ing questions , nnd Mr. Van Wyck drew from him the admission that ho would kick the bill out of congress if ho could. Mr. Mnxoy ran a short tilt with him , and Mr. Kdmumls menaced Mr. Van Wyek with the terrors of the supreme court , which might bo felt if the bill was passed without going to the linunco committee. AVhon his opponent had retired Mr Van Wyck charged tiiem with proposing to send the biy to the finance committee , which had already complained of being over-worked , for the solo purpose of hav ing it ciowded over the session , and thus prevent any legislation on the subject. Mr. Kvarts made a speech iu which ho apparently argued that the bill might properly go to either the agricultural , linaucc , commerce , 01 judiciary commit tee , but announced his purpose to vote for tlio first. It was considerably moro than an hour after Air. Miller's motion had Deon made when it was put to a yea- and-uay voto. Tlio roll call sliowod that tlio npnouunts of the bill were within one vote ot the needed strength to send it to the linanco committee.

Brother Litulbtroin has evidently been imposed upon , i Ho docs not wrlto like a liar or wilful slanderer , and wo are led to the conclusion that ho knows less of Nebraska politics than ho did six months ago , when he cuuia to the state. Let us "rogalo" you witlu n few facts , Brother L. , and then ifo yon continue your false statements , wo , can better judge as to what manner of man you aro. Senator Van Wyck was ouco an adventurer , it is true. He ventured out at the head of n regiment , tp battlc , for his country , was promoted to the Tank of general and fought bravely , tijl'.tho war was ended. Was you thorn , Brother ? Did you hear the shell screoqh , the rillo balls whiz and tlio cannon balls _ roar tour years ? If so you can judge perfiaps whether the gal lant general , so often promoted and onthusia.stically praised , is a very bad kind of an adventurer. If you were not there , sir , allow us to remind mind you that any sling at the old war liorso comes with very bad grace from you. Eight years Mr. Van Wyck rep resented a district in Now Yorjc in the congress of the United States ; four years ho fought his country's battles ; six or eight successive years ho represented Otoe county in the state senate , and near ly six years now he has represented Ne braska in the senate of the United States. Ho lias novcr hold office except at the hands of republicans , and after receiving the republican nomination. He has never in all his lifo ran for olllco unless called upon to do so by n convention of the re publican parly. Say , do you think ho is a bolter , demagogue and disorganized You have been lied to , Brother hind- stroni , by his enemies , mid your faith in what they have said has Jed you into saying tilings that every intelligent man , who Knows tlio honors that have been heaped upon Mr. Van Wyck. knows to bo baseless , unprovoked slanders. Dema gogues and political adventurers nro not sent to congress .year after j-oar from Now York , by the republican party ; thov are not honored equally in military and civil lifo ; they uro not kept perpetually in the state senate by their neighbors , and it is very rarely indeed that the republican party sends a dema gogue nnd political adventurer to the United States senate. You should think on these things , brotlior , und not sling mud , unlit to throw at a thief , at a man who has stood steadily in the front rank of the republican party for two score years. If you want to oppose him , no body will object , but bo honorable and fair. Another tiling wo will say right here , seeing you nrn not long In the state : John M. Thurston , Thomas Kcuimrd , P. O. Hiiwes , Boss Stout , ot cetera , have al ways boon on the most intimate terms with democrats of their own stripe , and have worked shoulder to shoulder with the very worst and most corrupt demo crats in the state to retard all railroad legislation and to advance every corrupt lob that has over been lobbied through. What do you think of thuir republican ism , my virtuous brother ) ' Are they not , after all , the demagogues , political ad venturers , etc. , eta. ?

The managers of fairs all know that if they can procure Van Wyck to deliver an address that the success of their enter prises is determined in advance. Dodge C9itut.y has had a little experience In that direction. A year ago ho spoke at our fair. Ono or two men who opposed the senator on political grounds were very much offended that ha should appear and withheld their patronage from the fair , but it was not missed. But the day Van Wyck spoke thousands of people attended and the fair was thereby made the most successful wo have had for years. [ Fro- moiit Tribune. The Union Pnclilo Relief BUI. York Times : Those editors who censure - sure Senator Van Wyck for the Intro- ductlon of his Union Pacifio extension bill certainly have not read the bill or clso they desire to mislead and -deceive their readers. An honcat tuaa will give h s oiiem > credit for the goo 1 w.i.ch ho docs mankind , but a few of Smmtor Van Wyck's enemies curse him for doing ex actly what they themselves would liavo done. Every reasonable man in Nebraska desires to see moro railroads , nnd the people of York nro especially interested in tno extension of tno Union Pacific from Stromsbnrg. There Is no oilier wav of securing the ovtenslon except through the passiigo of Van Wyck's bill. It does not look very sensible for York county men lo denounce him for introducing it , thus helping us to accomplish what wo most desire. Hut they say the senator has gone over to the railroads. If allowing them to do just what everybody wants them to do , on condition that the com pany will forego certain privileges which they now enjoy.is going over lo them , he has gone over , but not half so far as a great majority of York county people have gouo. Van W.vck's bill allows them to build the lines which wo want , but it imposes restrictions upon them which alVcct the rate not only on proposed lines , but on the lines already built , van Wyck's bill makes the railroads eoufor a great favor upon us , and it makes them pay us for accepting it. Verily ho has goiio over to the railroads. AVIiy Ho is Abused. Hoono County Argus : The republi can paper * of the state have beou industriously abusing Senator Van Wyck during the past four years. Why should they not ? Senator Van Wyck is opposed to letting rich mo- noplies illegally withhold government lauds from settlers. They are not. Ho is opposed lo cattle companies fencing in the public domain and driving oil' home steaders. Thov side with the catllo com pany , lie is opposed to Issuing patents to railroad companies for lands granted them but not earned. They favor giving the lands to the coiporalions tliu land without question. Ho is opposed to the greater part of the unjust war tariff which has kept the western farmer bound down body and soul till they are well nigh financially ruined. To perpetuate this tax on tlio farmers is their cry night nnd day. Hois in favor of supporting President Cleveland in ids efforts to give us a safe , economical and honest admin istration. They are not. Ho would pen sion thy old golilicr who slooil by tlio OOll'nlvy ih the hour of need , regardless of politics. They , only on condition that the veterans would bo republicans.

"Von Shall aud You Shnitt. " Fairmont Signal : If Van Wyck intro duces n bill and through his efforts the bill is passed to compel railroads to re store public lands which have been for feited and compel thorn to pay taxes on lands which have been generously given thorn by the people , ho is called a crank and railroad wrecker. If ho introduces a bill to aid a road in which the government is largely inter ested und which has boon wrecked by bad management but is now under good management and struggling to avoid being swallowed by haughty competitors , the howl is raised by the monopoly out fit , "Holms gene over to the railroads. " The charges amount to this : "You shall and you shant , You will and you won't , You'll be damned If you do , And you'll be damned It" you don't. " The Best Representative. Nance County Journal. If the republi can press which is howling so vigorously against Van Wyck for no cause that wo are able to discover except that ho is not so straight-laced in his politics as to light for party regardless of principle , will show ono instance where ho has over ad vocated a measure in congress detri mental to the best interests of the stale and country , they will bo doing some thing that never has boon attempted yet to our knowledge. It is not such men as Van Wyck who" , as the Tccumsch Chief tain would have us believe , have brought defeat and disaster to tlio republican party. It is the great leaders who have been ready tp sacrifice every principle of justice and right in order to { perpetuate the party for plunder only. It is the men who have played into the hands of corpor ations and plundered the people to further enrich the moneyed kings , who have brought about whatever disaster has fallen upon the party. And if there is any hope for republicanism , it lies witli men who will represent the interests of the masses. Wo have had too much leg islation for the protection of capital. It is time something was done to protect labor. Wo see no hope of relief from the democratic party , nor the republican cither , if such men as Van Wyck are to bo sat down upon. While there are doubtless other men in the slnlo equally worthy the confidence of the people , wo sco no good reason why Van Wyck should bo thrown overboard in fact , no reason nt all. Again wo say , ho Is tlio best man who has over represented Nebraska in the United States scnato , and is so recognized throughout the laud. The Issue This Fall. Verdon Vidotto : The question with the people this fall is not so much whom can wo elect to build up the party , but rather whom can wo elect to work for the people. Partyism is not so strongly developed ns it has been , nnd the people arc just learning that it is not safe to put their trust in either politicians or parties. Politicians work for themselves aud par- tics are their tools. What wo most need Is some moro "cranks" of the Van Wyck pattern. Burt County fur Van Wyolc. Tokamah Burtonian : The Issue In the autumn election will bo the selection of n representative wlm will support Senator Van Wyck ns his own successor. Wo believe the representatives ot our own county are divided in opinion ou this question , and Hon. E. W. Peterson holds Mr. Van Wyok should not bo returned. Now wo do not know that our representative - ativo desires to bo returned , but usually this Is udvisublo bolh by the incumbent nnd people , especially if they have faith fully discharged their duty , as did Mr. Peterson , but of course the will of the majority must bo heeded. TJio solu tion of thu question is easily settled , ns wo see it. Tlioro is a law which gives the voter Iho right to express his proferencu for senator ; let tliis bo dona at thu polls and no candidate will after thu will of the people is so expressed desire to Inter ject his individual opinion , and prefer ence. If the people of Burl county on their ballots say wo desire the ruturn of Senator Van Wyck , it must bo the guldo for the representation to shape hi.s action and cast his vote , and if ho cannot con sistently do HO tlio path ofdulliuiicu will load him to decline the honor of express ing the peoples will. Imlrd OB an Ami-Monopolist. Wood itiyor Gazette : Some of the anti-Van Wyck papers are trying to hold up Jim I/.Urd as an anti-monopolist. With hundreds of annual passes in his pocket for thu bcnelit of his friends , and all the gravel trains of the B. & M. at his con trol to asMBt at thu primaries , Jim pro- souls a picture of anti-monopolism ihal would bring a smile lo Iho face of Iho inoal despondent granger after a visita tion of grasshoppers or n destructive hull storm. storm.A A Sincere Friend or the People , Plum Creek Herald : Wo defy anybody to show in the political annals of the United States a more faithful or able ad vocate of industrial reform , a more sin cere friend of the people or n more fear less enemy of robber corporations than Senator Van Wyck. . .And yet wo. lind newspapers supported by fanners which are doing their best to Bccure his defeat lor re-cleetiou and thu putting m his stead of some man with but a mho ot ins ability nnd i\ small per cant of prestige anilvorso than all , u man who Is most likely to become tlio tool of the railroads. When will the farmers of Nebraska cease to bo led by their 11003 by tholr false friends under the plea of loyally to a po litical organisation which has been con trolled for years by Iho greedy cormor ants of Hie railroad rluc ? If the farmers of Nebraska down Van Wyck H will bo construed by the world at largo that they prefer the rule of corporations to that of thu people. Who in tlio Mnr ? Plainvipw Gn/ctto : The Omaha Re publican thinks Senator Van Wyck a liar because Van Wyck said railroad rates were four times greater west of the Missouri river than they were cast. Ono year ago last winter n great deal of grain was shipped west from hero , but the railroad company rai.sed the rates fcohigh west as to compel shippers to ship to CldcMiro altliough the distance is moro than twice as far. It costs nearly one- third as much to gel a car load of Hock Springs coal from Norfolk hero ns to ship a carload of grain to Chicago. Wo have never known the Uoimblio.ui to advocate any measures of reform for the relief of the producers , but it has always opposed every measure for the reduction of froiirht rates , and against discrimination , re bates , etc. Wo suppose Van Wyck's enemies would assert the moon to bo made of cheese , or the earth to bo the devil's head , if Van WycU wore to assort himsi > ll to the contrary. The fact of tlio corpora tions , land sharks and rings being op posed to his rc-olecllou Is the best proof of bit faithfulness lo the interests of the people. I'oaclicB for Van. The Columbus Journal leads out with a proposition that Van Wyck and who ever is to bo hi.s opponent in the .senator ial light make n slumping tour through the state. The Omaha Republican takes note of the proposition uv'suggesting E. K. Valentino to bo pitted against him as a ropresotativo of thirty or lorly contest , nuts iu the field against the "old man , " whereupon the Blair Pilol offers tlio fol lowing : An uri-au e'.v 'jt of this kind would bo "poaches" tor Van Wyok Whatever tlio opposition may think of Van , or say about him in their organs , none of thorn , who are possessed with a lltllo grain of common sense , would want to take the chances of tackling him on tlio stump. Theru aru not mules enough in Cuming county to draw Valentino onto a stand to engage in a discussion with Van Wyck. Vul. has sense enough himself to know that in such a contest ho wouldn't last as long as n snow-ball in thu infernal regions. FOOD FRAUDS. The Shameful Use of Ijlino and Alum in Cheap Baking Powders. Many food frauds , sueh as chicory coffee or watered milk , although they are u swindle in a commercial sense , uro otton tolerated bccuuso they do not par ticularly effect the health of thu consum er ; but when an arlielo like puking pow der , that onlers largely Into llio food of every family , and is rolled upon for the healthful preparation of almost oycry meal , is so made as to curry highly in jurious , if not rankly poisonous , elements into the bread to the imminent danger of llio entire community , It is the duty of tlio press to denounce the prac tice in the most emphatic terms. Among recent linportantdiscovcricsby the food unulysl is that by Prof. Molt , the U. S. Government Chemist , of largo amounts of lime and alum iu the cheap baking powders. Thcso are , one of the most dangerous , and the other the most uselesSj adujterants ycl found iu the low- prado , inferior baking powders. It is a startling fact that over ono hundred dif ferent brands of baking powder so far analyzed , comprising all those sold iu this vicinity , not oiio of them , with the single cxcoption of the Uoyal Baking Powder , was found frco from both lime and alum. The chief service of lime isle lo add weight. It is true thai lime , when subjected lo heal , gives off u cerlaia amount of carbonic acid gas , but n quick lime is left a caustic so powerful that it is used by tanners tp cat the hair from hides of animals , and in dissecting rooms to moro quickly rol the ilesh from the bones of dead sub jects. A small quantity of dry limu upon the tongue , or in the cyo , produces pain ful effects ; how much more serious must thcso effects bo upon thn delicate mem branes of the stomach , intestines and kidneys , moro particularly of infanta and children , nnd especially when then the lime is taken into the system day after day , uud with almost every meal. This is said by physicians to bo ono of the chief causes of indigestion , dyspepsia , nnd those painful diseases of the kidneys now so provident. Instances of thu most serious affections ot the latter organs from drinking limu walers found in some sections of the west are noted in ovury medical journal. Adulteration with liruo is qiiitoasmuch to be dreaded ns witli alum , which has heretofore received tlio most emphatic condemnation from every food analyst , physician and chemist , lor the reason that , while alum Is probably partially dissolved and passed off in gas bv the heat of baking , it is impossible to d in troy or change the nature of Iho lima in any degree , so that the en tire amount in Iho baking powder passes , with all ita injuri ous properties , into the stomach. When wo slule that the chemists have found twelve nor cent. , or one-eighth of the on. tire weight of some samples of baking powder analyzed , to bo lime , the wi0ked- ness of the adulteration will bo full apparent. Pure baking powders are ono of the chief aids to the cook in preparing per fect nnd wholesome food , While tlioso are to bo obtained of woll-ostublishad reputation , like the Royal , of whoso purity there has never ticon and cannot bo a question , it is proper io avoid all others.
