EVILS OfLand Monopoly.

The following just views of the cause
of land monopoly occur in an address
at the recent annual fair of the State
Beard Of Agriculture Of Nebraska, de-
delivered by Major H. F. Brooks, of
Rochester, New York. and heartily
endorsed by the actual settlers of Ne
braska:
You have now in charge of your
State 500, 900 acres of land that land
Is worth more than all the railroads
you can build in forty years, What
ever you do with it, require that it be
passed at a low price and in limited
quantities into the hands of actual
settlers. Your strong point is cheap
land. Every acre you pass over to
spectators to be held for advanced
price is a clog on your prosperity.
If you would route the spectators,
and offer your lands TO actual settlers
under the provisions ofthe homestead
act, or at ten shilltngs per acre, you
would, within eight or ten years, have
as dense a population as any agricul-
tural State in this blessed Union.
God grant our legislators, State and
national wisdom to stop the whole
system of land appropriation for public
and private purposes, Hold every
acre, as a sacred trust from Heaven for
landless whose needs are their title to
IL, and who from the proceeds of their
industry can and will build roads and
make every needed improvement in
half the time required under the pres
enk sVstem.

To Gen. j. M. SchofeEd:
SEC. OF WAR-SIR: I have the hon
or to submit the reports of Division,
District and Department Commanders
for the past year. These reports give
a full account of the operations and
services of the army for the year, and
/ refer 10 them for details. | would
earnestly Tenew the recommendations
of last year, that the control OF the
Indians be transferred to the War De-
partment. 7 call special attention to
the recommendation of Gen. Sherman
on this subject. 1t has my earnest APP
proval.
tits not necessary that the arguments
ia favor Of this transfer should be re-
peated. The necessity for it becomes
stronger and more evident every day.
While the Indian war continues 1 do
not deem any general legislation for
the reduction of the army advisable.
The troops on the plains are all needed;
the troops in the Southern States are
still needed, and further reduction can
be made in the way already in use and
now in operation, when 1t Is safe,
namely, by allowing companies to dis
miss by discharges without being
strengthened by recruits, and by stop
ping the appointments OfsecOnd Lieu
tenants. IF il should be deemed advi-
sable, the veteran reserve regiment
might be discontinued by absorption
and retirement of the officers and the
discharge of men, without detriment
70 the service.
Very respectfully your obd't serv't.
