WAS 1T A CANARDq

Some weeks ago correspondence
was pnblished to the effect that the
proper officer at Washington had
made decision which threw thous-
ands of settlers off their lands in
Neosho and other counties in this
State, and gave them to the railroad.
This created considerable excite
ment throughout the State, and
aroused the sympathies of all for
the settlers.
Within the last few days a para
graph has made made its appear
ance stating that Secretary Delano
had written to Col. Carpenter, OF
New Chicago, telling him there had
been no late land decision to cause
alarm among the settlers; and now
comes the Oswego Register and
puts the following damper upon the
sensational story about the odd
quarter sections on the Usage coded
tract: .
In addition to this information
we learn from S. w. Collins, Esq,
an old and we'll known citizen OF
this county, that he has just return
ed from the land Office, where he
had Just been for his patent and the
patents of his neighbors, and he re-
ports the following: He says that
he represented eleven parties, eight
of whom are residents of odd quar-
tiers, and went to the land office to
receive their patents. Upon his ar
rival there he was little timid, IN
consequence of the rumors he had
heard, and at first only inquired fol
his own. Meeting with success In
this he became emboldened and in
CURED for all the parties he repre-
scented, receiving without heslta-
ton every patent inquired for
finding none cancelled or set aside.
After getting his patents securely
pocketed, he propounded some
Questions and received from the
officers of the land office this infor-
nation: That the rumors of the
ordered cancellation of the patents
to these odd sections were false
that the only patents cancelled OF
ordered cancelled were patents OBJ
tanned fraudulently or upon false
testimony; these entries being SET
aside upon testimony that had been
forwarded to the Secretary of the
Interior.
So falls another political bug
bear npon Investigation, and the
anything to beat Grant" men will
find it necessary to conjure up other
fabricated stories, to supply the
place of the exploded ones. What
shall we hear next?

Che Journal what VIC do believe
eyen at the risk of being miscon-
strned, and that Is that Mr.. Pom
croy desires the success of Che Ma
tional Republican ticket far above
that of his own. Whatever may be
said of him it cannot be successful
ly asserted that he has not been
true TO the Republican party, and
that he has not contributed all in
his power for its triumph in the va
rious campaigns through which it
has passed. We say this about him
because we believe it to be true, but
while we say it, he must understand,
and we are convinced that he does
understand, that he must run alone
upon his own merits. We cannot
join. in the attempts of the Journal
to build up a fsman Of straw" for

and when it refers to the News we
hope it win put us on the record
correctly. Go for Pomeroy al

the better his chance of recollection

excuse than that for your tears.

STATE UNIvERsIY.-The announce
ment of the Kansas State Univers-
ity, for the fall term, will be found
in to-day's paper. This part of the
State has had several representa-
tives in the University, all of whom
speak of it in the highest terms Of
praise. We believe the time is close
at hand, if indeed it has not already
arrived, when we may say with
pride, that Kansas has, in her State
University, first class institution
of learning. Too much credit can
not be bestowed upon the citizens Of
Lawrence and on General John
Fraser, the President, for placing
the State University so carly in our
history, in the front rank of our
younger institutions. OF course the
people of the State have done
much, but the city of Lawrence
has done more to bring the institu-
ton TO its present prosperous and
useful position. We wish our Uni
vcrsity growth and prosperity, and
urge those who have sons and
daughters whom they wish to cdu-
cate not to send abroad, but to pat
ronizc and build up their own State
institution, especially so long as II
is worthy of their support and con-
fidence.
