THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS aptly says: Notwithstanding, however, all the Credit MobIlier and Pacific Mail delinquencieS, and the daily detalcations that are chron- icled in private (unotficiaU life, it is not likely that our country is much worse than other countries, or that the entire body of society is wholly corrupt. Men are inclined to count the hits and ignore the misses in every department of life, and when they enumerate on their fingers this pet political scandal and that bank dedication, they forget the scores of up right legislators there are, and the thou sands Of men who are everywhere true to their trust, despite the many temptations in their way.

First Class Lying.

For a metropolitan journal of frst-class lying qualifications, we cheerfully recom- mend The New York Tribune Being principally controlled by Jay Gould of the Union Pacific railway, it of course hesitates at no kind nor extent of lyiKg to serve his interests. In its opposition to the just bill of Col T. A Scott for aid to the Texas and Pacific railway, The Tribune descends to this sort of con- mon place lying. Speaking of Yuma and Pima counties, The Tribune says:
 These two immense counties extend from the eastern to the western boundary of Arizona, and are .traversed by this great national thoroughtare From June to October the heat in the sun is l5Oo Fahr- enheit, and above. The Gila River, along which is the line Of the proposed road, often falls two inches d day by reason of evaporation. It is a broad stream. Our troops in that country often are compelled to carry water in wagons from 50 to 100 miles. POIions of the survey are nearly 200 feet below the level of the ocean, and they are "hlaZing hot" like similar DOT uons of the Desert Of Sahara.
 It would be difficult to set more base falsehood into similar space, unless the following from the same paper be ahead in this respect:
 Take the whole amount of traffic and travel from San Antonio westward, and from Fort Yuma eastward, and what does 1t amount to? It amounts to arGIi:: JJ:fe g;;ct1v CT p+ft'fiI wagon -train a week each way, or say 90 tons a week or 2 ,600 tons a year. As for the travel, there are perhaps 25 emigrant trains of Texans going west ward, or say 300 persons year; and on the Pacific side the entire passenger trafIic between Gaiijornia and Arlzopa is conyey- edson 43 k>s1<I Raftl To en en an di Vef-| Si< 11ft'1igh flf desert So Ca dss

THE RELIEF BUSINESS IN KASsAs.-The follow
ing from the Marysvlle Ners hits the nail nn the
head in regard to the wholesale mcndicancy Of
Western Kansas and Nebraska. II is u pOturious
fact that but one County i'll Kansas has avaiied
itself of tho law passed in extra session To vote
relief bonds Hundreds of people, some of thcm
no douLt honest, but great many of the Scon1
lrel class, are in the east begging ia the name of
Kansas and Nebraska. If une dollar il ten con
tributcd reaches the grasshopper regions. there
will be more money there This spring than II the
graSshoppcrs had not destroyed the eoTn crop:
The people of Osborn County have met aud
passed resolutions ,lrnonncing the recent relief
law enacted by the Legislature, tenominatns il
as tyrannical and nimical to their best interests
Or. in other appropriate WORKS. the people
of Osborn County prefer to beg th''lr fool thIh
than to issue their notes for legitimate relief
The people of the western Counties are proving
themselves to he snarling, rhanklrss ablrbn'licl
beggars. They denounced the relief law of last
summer, refused to accept its liberal benefits, aud
started II hungry hnrle of lnurl-mpuiI;.l van
das over the whole country to traduce the State
and beg aid, aud now when the Legislature pass
another relief law, certainly rs liberal rs any
reasonable man needing assistance ronld ask,
they meet and denounce thr measure as 'tyranni-
cal.' Ont upon such chsck Away with such
bold elirunteTy!'

SETTLERS, LOOK To Your HoMEsTEADs!-At
least those whose hornesteads a.e dated since
February %, 1872, and any portion of which land
is located upon an odd numbered or railroad 81 c.
tion, for now is theaexrlsl time to iaake proper
application To the raifr6ad authorities to obtain
their REIMBURSEMENT of claim. The settled poll
cy of the company, rs indicated by the latest al
vices, now seems to be tu not disturb the
homestead claims of bona iide settlers made be-
fore. notice of withdrawal of railroad lands, in
cases where proper evidence comes before them
to establish those facts. So, we repeat, don't be
careless or negligent TO improve the opportunity
making the proper application within the sixty
days time allowed by the Government Land
Office, for if no such notice or application, nor
appeal, is filed in the Land Office within that
time, the rule of the U. S. Land Department is
liked and Imperative to absolutely cancel all
such lOmesteads.

House BILL No. 299.-If the editor of the Wa
thena Reporter will look again, he will find that
he is mistaken in saying that the Chief asserts
that the object of Motter's bill was to tax the
people of the County for riprapping the rivers
bank from Wathena to st. Joseph. We merely
said that we presumed the people of Washing
ton Township were i'll favor of the bill, in CON-
mon with others living adjacent to the river
banks. Neither did we endeavor to create any
alarm or indignation against Mr.. Motter. We
supposed that he had introduced the bill at the
instance of some of his constituents-as mem-
Der may very frequently do, without even being
in favor of the measure himself We spoke OF
the bin, at the request of one of our members OF
the Legislature, who, while decidedly opposed to
the principle of the bill, was willing to vote for
it if satisfied that majority of the people of the
County desired it. To this end, he wished pub
lie attention called to it, in order to elicit ex-
pressions from the people.

of Lecnmpte during the borrlcr-ruilian tropbcs,
bnt still they can not criticize his life and act S
since those troubles were settled, and those who
