HOMESTEAD BILL.-A great deal is now
being said about this bill, which was de-
feated by the Democrats in Congress, but
which the President declared he would
veto if it should pass. Now, that party
would doubtless have killed.any bill what.
ever, no matter how beneficial it would
have been to the poor man but in de-
feating this bill, they have not done much
harm-and perhaps it will leave room
for the right sort Of a homestead law
when some party comes into power that
pays attention to poor people. The bill
which was defeated. placed the poor set
tier second best to the Spectator, as he is
at present. 1t proposed to give to the
actual settler only such lands as are sub
ject to private entry. Before land is in
this condition, it is pretty thoroughly as
sorted and bought up. In the FIRST place,
spectators pick out the choicest. and
procure unprincipled persons to pre-empt
it for them. for little or nothing. Then
the land is put up for sale, when the
speculator is again on hand, to bid in
such choice lands as shall not have been
pre-empted. Then the land is subject to
private entry, when the Speculctor is
around with his reams Of land warrants,
with which to enter any good land that
be may find. Thus the Spectator has
two pulls at the land, before it is subject
to private entry and after it is thus sub.
ject, he still has an equal chance with the
settler, in picking out and possessing
himself of unsold lands. Such Home
stead Law is not the kind the poor settler
needs; and we have hopes that one Of
the right stamp viii yet be enacted by
Congress.

looked to, by the people of our place,
that we may-nOt again be put to the trou-
bic and inconvenience of going elsewhere
to vote. The Supervisors Of each Town

law is very stringent, and the penalties
for its violation are severe. Section Sec

GOOD Jews FoR WHITE CLOUD

A gentleman just from Washington.
brings the cheering intelligence that a
contract has been signed and sealed, By
which the great Government Contractors,
Messrs. Russell. Majors & WaddeIl. have
agreed to make White Cloud freighting
depot for Utah and the Western forts.
The report that they had surrendered their
contract to Government, was false. The
coming season, they intend conducting
business more briskly than ever. They
will have three depots. and do freight
ing business equally from each. Two Of
the depots will be Leavenworth and Ne
braska City. as formerly and the ether
will be White Cloud.
The contractors conceived the idea,
last Summer, Of establishing another de-
pot. For this purpose. they visited, in
person, most Of the towns between Leav-
enworth and Nebraska City. Some of
the towns offered large premiums, and
made all manner Of representations and
Misrepresentation, to secure them but
they declared that property was not their
object, and would be no inducement to
them. After careful examination of the
various points. and fully weighing every
consideration. they decided that White
Cloud was far preferable to any other
point, and have accordingly closed con-
tract to make this their depot. In short
time they viii be here to erect their ware
houses, shops, and dwellings.
This viii be cheering news to every
friend Of White Cloud. 1t will at once
establish an immense business here, and
inaugurate brisk times. 1t will cause a
large increase Of the actual residents, and
vastly multiply the. corners and goers.
Il will give employment to mechanics
and labOrers, increase the demand and the
price Of farm products, and enhance the
value Of property. We are informed
that Government Quartermaster will
also establish himself here. He will make
payments to those in Government en-
ploy, and large amount of the money
will remain in circulation here. In adj.
ditiOn to the above, it will give our place
wider notoriety than she now enjoys,
and will be the means of her rapidly at
tanning position of importance among
the Missouri River towns. In all respects,
the selection of this place as freighting
depot, is an event Of the most gratifying
character.

KEEP YoUR TESTs.-Those persons
who we're about disposing of their tents
and camp equipage, in view Of pros
pect Of the removal of the County Seat
from Troy, had better bold on to them,
as they will yet need them. The bill for
voting on the question, passed both Hou-
sss of the Legislature, since which time
no one can give an account Of it. 1t
never became a law and il it reached
the Gosernor, he smothercd it, as it was
never returned. Perhaps some of the
Trojan hangers on, who were hanging
about Lawrence at The time of its pass
age, could give some account of it. Or,
perhaps this story is only ruse, 10 induce
the people generally to drop the matter !;
and when voting day arrives, the friends
Of some certain point will hold an cleo
ton, and locate the County Seat there.
The matter should be investigated.
There is something strange in this mat
ter Of losing bills. Not a session of the
Legislature passes, but number of i'm
pOrtant bills are unaccountably missing.
Such VII be tho case. as long as clerks can
be corrupted with FIVE dollar gold piece.
or as long as they are careless enough to
permit the papers in their possession to
be fingered by designing seamps. @t

Little Blue. a company Of men from
Michigan, who had mortgaged their farms
at home, oprocure outfits for the mines.
When he saw them, they were out Of
provisions and money.
We learn that Mr.. Yount has Just

mines. lie reports similar to the above
that digging will not pay, and that
miners cannot make more than so to rs

But the fever is up, and the crowds are

Y WV. MAUcK 4 Soxs.-Attention is
called to the advertisement Of this enter
prising firm, who are prepared to saw
and sell lumber of all kinds. on the very
lowest terms. They are honorable. 60
ahead men, and the right kind to patron
ize. The people Of this country are per-
haps not aware how much they are in
debted to this 6rm-and We say it with
ont intending any disparagement Of 9TH
ers in the lumber business. A year ago,
the price Of lumber was 1925 and $3.50
per 100 feet. Messrs. Mauck believed in
the motto Of "live and let live." and
reduced the price to 81 so to $500 per
100 feet. Such liberality deserves to be
remembered.

RE- Some persons imagine that the
people of Kansas are made of money,
and that it is pleasure for them to pay
three prices for everything they buy
Several men brought q skiff.load Of fish
here, a few days ago; and, from the prices
they asked for them, one woald be led to
suppose that they imagined the people Of
White Cloud on the point of starving.
and those fish only would save them.
They met with poor encouragement, and
had the pleasure Of taking their fish away
again. A few days since, we arc told, a
person brought some seven dozen eggs to
town, for which he asked about two and
a half cents higher than market price.
Not being able to obtain it. as our citizens
knew of no reason why his hens should
lay eggs so much superior to other peo-
Plies hens, he cody walked to the river,
and threw his eggs into it. 1t is proba-
bic he got his money back ! If eggs cast
up the waters, are like bread in the same
situation, they will return to him after
many days .s'l.
