AN able article against the pro-
posed reduction of the army appears
i'm the New York World. The fol-
lowing extract is deemed worthy of
reproduction:
The cheap virtue of Congress is
no more cheering to contemplate
than its costly vice. 1t could not
have shown cheaper virtue than it
showed yesterday by passing the
bill for the reduction of the army,
against tie remonstrance of Gen.
Sherman, against the remonstrance
of the Secretary of War, and with
out the support, so far as we are adj
vised, of a single respectable mill
tary name. The officers of the
army are on the whole and with
wonderfully few exceptions the
ab!est and faithfulles. public ser
wants We have.
Almost every man who holds a
commission i'm the army has won it
by some definite achievement, after
a real probation of his fitness for II.
As to the qualification and the pro-
batiou by which members of Con-
r lave won their seats, we cam
not do better than cite the saying
of that candid Congressman from
Oregon who told the House the 9TH
er dav that ON his first introduction
into that august assembly he Won
dered in humility and admiration
how he got there, and after a ses-
sion his wonder grew to be a won

We need cheaper fuel and faster
time. All summer long empty,
half-ladened ears are returning
home from the great coal mines OF
Wyoming, and when winter comes
and fuel is necessary, there is little

sale is at an enormous price. The

Directors certainly do not compre-
bend the wants of the people along
its line or they would make prOvi-
sion to remedy this great evil. 1t
T, is to their interest as much as TO
any ones, and more.-They have
millions of acres of land for sale and
the sooner it is sold the better.
Then they would be free from taxa
ton, comparatively, and instead OF
the lands being an expense to them,
the accruing payments would be an
income to them. Again: The bet
ter settled the State is, the more
work there will be for the Railroad,
and local freight will increase In
proportion to the number of inhabi
tants each county along its line EN-
braces. 1t would thus make bust
ness for the Company and increas'
the value of their lands, and VIVA

to the State it will be beneficial to

several thousand acres of excellent
land in the market at low rates,
and thus bring many settlers with

The prospects for a district fair at

ded as a diversion i'm favor of Lin

not the desire that its success would

patent to every one. In case Lin

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
The State of Nebraska after John
I. Blair & Co.-Valuable
Property Under
Contest.
West Point Republican,

On last Saturday Attorney Cen
eral J. f. Webster filed a petition
i'm the district court of Cunning
county, asking for the recovery of
all lands in the county, or their
value if transferred, ceded by the
State of Nebraska to the S. c. & p.
Railroad Company for building the
''plug" road from Desota to Blair,
in Washington county. Suits will
also be commenced in the cednties
of Burt, Washington and Dodge.
for the recovery Of The same lands
amounting III all to 5000 acres,
which SfS2.5O an acre, would foot
VI S12O,O00 The petition prays for
the recovery of all their lands
still in possession of the railroad
company or stockholders, and for
the recover of the value of all said
lands which have passed into the
hands of innocent and d~isinterested
purchasers.
These lands it will be remembered
were donated and decided to the
Railroad Company in question, I'M
der the provisions of an act of the
legislature passed in 1867, entitled,
"An act to donate seventy-five sec
tons of the public lands of the State
to the Northern Nebraska r. R., to
aid i'm the construction of a railroad
from Desoto, in Washington county,
to Fremont, in Dodge county,"
This act specified the time at which
the road should be completed and
operated, in order to entitle the
company to the lands. The North
ern Nebraska r. II. Company, as is
well known, upon completion of the
''plug" from DesOto to Blair, con-
solidated with the S. C.. & p. CON-
pany, or claimed 50 to do. The s.
c. & p. r. r. Company, after build
ing its road to Fremont, claimed the
lands under the provisions of the
act cited, and succeeded in getting
a deed of them.
The petition of the Attorney Gen.
eral i'm behalf of the State, AYERS
that the road was not completed by
the time specified by the act under
which the lands were ceded, that the
Northern Nebraska Railroad Com
pany was not organized i'm conform
ity with the laws of the State, and
that ii was not lawfully consolida-
ted with the s. c. & P. r.. r. Co., in
consequence OF which the lands
were not legally transferred to such
Company.
The case is a very important one,
and contains several fine points
which will. without doubt, be ably
argued by the best legal talent of
of the West, and will be contested
inch by inch to the very end.

ka against J. I. Blair and others, for
