In Normal Schools As in other institu-
lions of learning one good one, well sus-
tanned is worth more-and is more credit
to State-than half dozen halfstarved
ones. In this State there is normal
school at LeavenwOrth, one at EnpOria
and one at Concordia, which have de-
pended upon appropriations from the
State treasury for support and bills were
introduced in the Legislature for the
of two additional ones.
We believe that the State should make
provisions for good normal school, but
we think there is no occasion for having
these schools scattered over the State,
especially if they look to the State for
support, and we believe the action of the
Legislature in refusing t, make appro-
pr:ations for but one-that one to be in
connection with the State university
will be endorsed by majority of the
people of the State. 1t might perhaps
have been we'll to have provided for
running these institutions through the
present year. We hope the next Legis-
lature will make another move in the
same direction and get the various asy'
lums nearer together.

A Great National Work.

The Centennial History of the United
States, from the discovery of tho American
Continent to the close of the First Century
of american Independence. By James u:
McCabe. Author of"A Manual of General
History" "The Great Republic" Etc., Etc.
There has long been great and uni
versaIly-felt want of history of the
United States suitable for general use.
This want is now being supplied by The
National Publishing Co., of st. Louis,
who have issued handsome volume
styled 1.-THE Centennial History of the
United States" by James d. MeCabe, q
we'll known historical writer. This work
will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Stan
dard History of the United States. IL
is no dry mass of details-nO bombastic
effort to infame the national pride, but
is q clear, vivid and brilliant narrative
of the events of our history, from the
discovery Of the American Continent
down to the present time. 1t traces the
evidences of that mysterious race, the
first occupants of our country, and gives
a most interesting account of the Indians
of North America from the time of the
coming of the white men. The voyages
of Columbus, the explorations of the
different nations of Europe and the final
and conquest of the land by
England, are told with graphic power.
Every step of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the
sources of those noble, and we trust, en-
during institutions which have made
our country free and great, are shown
with remarkable clearness. The causes
Of our great struggle for Independence
are told with logical force and ability
in any work of the day.
Then follows clear and succinct account
Of the formation of the Federal Consti-
tuition: the establishment of the Union;
the course Of affairs until the breaking
out of the Second War with England:
and a full and comprehensive account Of
that.War and its results. The events of
our career from the close Of that contest

follow IN their order. The history ofthe
Civil War is related with intense vigOr,
and with strict fidelity to truth. The
author pleads the cause Of no party or
section. He states facts, points out the
Lessons which they teach, and appealing
to neither passion nor political feeling,
trusts to the good sense of his country.
men to sustain his views. The book
contains an Appendix, giving an account
of the approaching Centennial Exhibit
tion.
1t is comprised in one large, handsome
octave volume of 925 pages, and contains
442 fine engravings on steel and wood of
historical personages and scenes. The
price is so low that all can afford to pur-
chase a copy. and each subscriber is
presented with a superb photographic
engraving of the Centennial Exhibition
Buildings and Grounds. It is sold by
subscription only, and the publishers
want agents in every county.

fers o.iy to the ~indemnity lands" isevi
dent from the following considerations:
First, 4 Law of Congress cannot set aside
a patent issued under authority of the
United States, nor has Congress ever at
tempted such a thing; it can only be
done by decree of court.
Second, this bill only proposes to deal
with lands (which have not been pat
ented to said railroad company under the
grant," and has nothing to do with any
others.
Third, according to Judge Goodin's
statement his bill covers between twenty
nine and thirty thousand acres of land,
which is just about the amount of the
indemnity, whereas if it affected the
whole grant, it would cover between
four and FIVE hundred thousand acres.
We have heard numerous opinions as
to the effect Of this bill in case it becomes
a law, but we believe the views above set
forth are correct; but if there are thos e
who are in doubt about the matter, we
think they will, by writing to Judge
Goodin, receive an answer in substance
as above. 1t has been conceded for a
long time that the railroad company had
no title to the indemnity lands" and
the company has not offered these lands
for sale for two or three years past.

The L, l.. h g. RAILROAD LANDS.

In commenting in last weeks paper on
the bill introduced by Judge Goodin and
passed by the House of Representatives,
we gave it a. our opinion that it EN-.
braces all the lands belonging to the l..
L. & G. Railroad, those within. the ten
mile a. we'll as those within the twenty
mile or indemnity grant, that remained
unsold by the company on the Sd OF
March 1873. In this we were mistaken,
the bill relates only to the twenty mile or
indemnity grant. and by its provisions
all lands not sali, or in other words pat
ented, by the State to the com any prior
tn the 81 of March 1873 should he opened
for settlement. and bias no reference
whatever to lands sold or unsOld by the
company.
Under the grant of 1883 the company
was entitled to select the land within the
ten mile limit as fast As the road was
built in sections of twenty miles. These
selections we're made and all the land
within the ten mile or granted limit was
sold to the company in consideration of
building the road, and patents issued
except for a few disputed tracts-prior
to March 8, 1873. If the company failed
to complete the whole road by March 8,
iS73-which it did-then the lands
remaining unsold by the State re-
verted to the government But the
only lands remaining unsold at that time
were the Indemnity lands" or the lands

The Belknap exposure is not likely to
prove such great windfall to the Dem
ocrats as they first supposed. Some of
the shining lights ofthat party Hendricks
Pendleton ad Randall, who have been SO
Mortified at the revealed corruption of a
member OF Grants cabinet, are them
selves on the defensive, having been
charged with similar crimes. And n. IL.
Fowler of New York makes oath that he
paid the sanity Fernando Wood, late
Democratic candidate for Speaker of the
Democratic House Of Representatives,
$4,000 for the position of Corporation
Attorney while Fernando was Mayor of
New York. Belknap's offense is grave
one, and he is condemned by all Repub-
licans, but his crimes pale into insight,
icance when compared with those Of
Floyd, the Democratic Secretary of War
under a Democratic administration.

goes; but if the Senate and House will
pass bill reducing the salaries of mem-

the people were shocked by the Belknap

kept Belknap's exposure back month
