also, corn that we would suppose
would yield half a cror. Thus it is,
the "Great American Desert" like
dew before the rising sun, is grad
ually passing away. A few more
years, and this part Of the "great de-
sert' will become one vast region of
enterprising and successful farmers.
Many are the reasons Why We would
venture on this prediction. From
such conclusion, Se can not refr.in
as We ride over these rich prairies,
and remember that here is the june
ton of two Of the finest railroads on
the continent.
THE CAPITAL QUESTION.
The removal Of the Capital, is ex-
citing no little interest, just now,
among many of Newbraska's leading
citizens. lis location at Lincoln, is
a very pleasant one, and surroun-
ded by a good county; and it is al
ready railroad center. But it is by
no means centrally located 1t is
about forty-eight miles from the
cas-, liUe OF the State, which is four
hun Ddred miles long. 1t is needless
to say that it can not remain ia Its
present location very long. The en-
terFrise Of Nebraska, and rspii in
crease OF her population, fOrbids it.
1t must eventually take more cent
raj position. Certain great railroad
corporations are Offering the most
fatteribg inducements to the State,
favoring the location at this place.
And in view Of the fact that the
State buildings may be constructed
without expense to the State, and for
many other reasons TOO numerous to
mention, We are sanguine in the idea
that Fort Kearney must, at no very
late day, become the great head
quarters and Capital of the great
central State of Nebraska. Fort
Kearney will then be The center Of the

scs combined must make it a city Of

Chr 99ailg Atgns,
A Life Pension for the President.

From the Springfield Republican.
We have been expecting it for some
months and here it comes
The Pittsburgh Commercial mentions in
quite casual way, that "a good deal has
been said lately" about the propriety and
Justice Of voting life pensions to retiring
Presidents. The pay attached to this great
office has been ''absurdly meagre.' the
Commercial thinks even the recent in
crease doesn't make it sufficient. The
Commercial is assured by persons fsmiI-
liar with the necessities of the place, :" that
at $4,000 year with perauisites. sI27
900 year, as congressman Willard 6g-
ures) President destitute of income from
outside sources will be compelled To ev-
erclse an economy so rigorous as to be I'M
digni6ed, if he would make both ends
meet" Not that the Commercial would
have the President paid an extravagant
salary--''a salary quite corresponding with
the salaries of some old monarchical coun-
tries which might be named" Certainly
not. But it would h.ve a powerful and
wealthy nation too jealous of its own dig
nifty to keep its Presidents on such a short
allowance as to provoke the sneers Of for
eigners, or to consign them, on the expra
ton of their terms, to the social insignifi-
canoe imposed by poverty. If the pay is
to be left at the present inadequate figure
the Commercial is clear that life pension
should be attached to the Office. 1t is sure
that the people, when they come to think
it over, will concur in this opinion; will
perceive the reasons why a man who has
been their Chief Magistrate ought to be
shielded during life from the sordid sur
roundings and struggles of professional or
business life.
Pussy is out of the bag now sure enough:
will the taxpayers please to observe the
graceful arch of her back and the insinu-
ating sweetness of her purr? Pittsburgis
not an immense distance from Harrisburg.
where Mr.. Simon Cameron lives, and
where Gen Grant goes visiting occasion
all the editor of the Commercial is justly
eminent among Pennsylvania politicians
for his loyalty and his experience in tidal
waves. When he says that good deal
has been said lately on this SUBJECT, there
is every reason to believe that he speaks
by the book. The increased salary is
thought rather shabby than otherwise the
suggestion of life pension is received
with favor. Perhaps we may yet see il
urged on political-commereial grounds as
the true solution of the third term conun-
drum. Quite as strange things have hap
pened before now.

has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle. with perfect
