ENCoURAGING.--Since undertaking
the publication Of the TRIBUNE we have re-
ccived from all quarters many kind words
Of approval and encouragement, but have
published none Of them. The following,
however, from subscriber at Arena, we
cannot refrain from placing before our read
ers. The writer is man Of much more
than ordinary intelligence, and in this
county wields an influence which many
politicians would like to possess. We sup.
press the name because the author probably
had no idea the letter would be made pub
lie, and has no itching to see his name in
print:

Without free lands we cannot have a

our free institutions are worse than a

when 1t was said of old by profound
thinker-that nothing in government is so
bad as good political institutions corrup-
ted. There is saving grace in every

For every year, aye, for every moment,
that your policy drives away from that

your civilization, of your power, and Of
your freedom-you have done wrong to
the whole republic To sum up allin
single word, let US have railroads, but at
the same time and with equal step let us
always have our public lands free for
free people. That is the idea for which
we have been contending in this debate.
We have done so thus far with little sue

that are closed against US, we can speak
beyond and above this chamber to an au-
dlence that will hear us-the great audi

A Radical Congress.

The grave and potent senators march
ed to the confessional rack on Wednesday
and made public declaration of their
shortcomings Wilson, of Massachusetts,
said no congress had talked more and
done less than the present collection OF
Radical wisdom and rascality. Virtuous
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, agreed with
Wilson, and favored an early adjourn
ment, because when at home the moAbers
did little harm, but in Washington they
did very little good. Then others follow
ed in like strain. This series of confess
sions to the effect that Congress has de-
generated into a worthless body, recall to
mind remark made by Gen. Sherman
not long ago. He is reported to have said
in conversation with a senator, that he
could take three justices of the peace and
run this government better than this halt.

present conditions.

The Ohio Reform Farm School has at
present three hundred and forty inmates,
with capacity for only three hundred The
pressure for admission never was so great
and more than twenty boys in the various
counties of the State are now waiting
their turn to be received. The want Of
room is the only reason why these boys
are not received. The appropriation made
by the legislature to erect two additional
family buildings, will enable the commits
sioners to enlarge the capacities of the in
stituhon so that another hundred inmates
can be received and properly cared for.

THE BILL OR NOTHING.

1t is a most significant fact thai every
proposition has been voted down which
modified this bill in the interests of the
people. Even those which in no degree
impaired the eompany's interests met the
same fate Such was the case with my
amendment, providing that all lands of
the company not sold at the end of ten
years after the completion of the road
should be open to settlers at ST 25 per
acre. Why is this? Is it that the Pa
cihc railroad committe which reported this
bill is so infallible that its work is beyond
human question? If not what then is
the explanation? Or is it that the rail-
road company will have this bill just as it
came from the committee, full perfect and
complete, or it will not have it at all?
The bill or nothing IS the demand
There must be no amendment, no modifi-
cation none at least that makes the bill
a little better for the country. In that
view no must he crossed or I dotted, ex-
cept as it is set down; not one. Has it
come to this, sir, that railroad legislation
is the only business upon which the SEN
ate is not free to exercise its legislative
discretion

THE POLICY OF VAST LAND GRANTS.

The policy of vestlng the public lands
in great bodies in private corporations,
which has been very often threwn in our
faces as the policy of the country"
took its rise in 1850, but it owes its pres
ent enormous development to the last
eight years. AS so developed it is not the
American policy in reference to public
lands as established and administered for
50 many years before 1850. That policy,
as sustained and advocated by our great
est men, was generally and with no seri-
Gus change before 1850, a policy which
looked to vesting the lands in the owner
ship of the individual citizens in quanti-
titles limited to his wants. 1t was wise
policy and grand one, and its wisdom
and grandeur have been signally v'ndica-
| ted by its results, Nearly a century ago
that wonderful man, Edmund Burke, of
whom his countryman, Grattan, might
have said more truly than he said of Chat
than, that the sight of his mind was in
finite'-looking above the mists of the
error and ignorance of his time into the
far future, pointed out the principle after
ward applied IN our land system as the
true enc for England, in reference to heI
crown lands. He secuted the idea o.
selling them to the highest bidder, or in
any way of treating them as source oi
revenue from sales. He was for granting

take them, and Upon their eNh terms

A Tariff Test Vote.

In the House of Representatives, Mon
dav. there was a very significant test vote
ON the tariff question which has discour-
aged the friends of the new bill not lit
tia. Some resolutions offered by Judge
Marshall, last Monday, came up as un-
finished business, and, without debate, the
House proceeded to vote as to whether it
should declare that the tariff should be
adjusted substantially to revenue stan
dard. The friends of the tariff moved to
table the declaratory resolutions, and
finally, after four or five votes, carried
their points by only eleven majority. Dur
ing these votes the result was at one time
against the tariff The House divided by
tellers, 81 to 81, and the Speaker was about
10 give the casting vote, when Mr. Julian
of Indiana, came, up and voted against
the tariff and with the Democratic side,
making the result 81 to 62. This action
of the House developed very positively the
feeling of Western men against high
tariff, and, as stated, gave the pending bill
an indirect, but at the same time severe

improvement of Seed Wheat.

Hon. George Geddes, in an article on
the Culture Of Wheat in q recent num-
Der of the New York Tribune gives the
following suggestions on the improvement
of wheat SEED. The same remarks apply
with equal force to other grain crops as
we'll:
81 am no believer in the turning of
wheat into cheese or anything else; but /
am believer in clean land entirely clean
and sound seed, and thorough cultivation !;
and believe that our wheat crops might
be greatly improved in quality and in
creased in quantity by careful Sc
lection of seed. Let farmer
first determine the best variety for him
to raise. At or before the time of
threshing, set some sheaves on floor,
heads upward and then draw out the most
perfect heads-those of the greatest length
and the best flled-until he has enough to
SOW an acre. Put this selected seed on
land in the best condition in every respect;
weed the wheat the next Spring. This acre
should give him thirty or more bushels of
seed for next year. Out of this again
draw the best heads, and SOW an acre and
SO 60 on for several years-the longer the
better-by -and-by he will have some seed
wheat to sell that he may be willing to
have bear his name, and will be public
benefactor."
