rno-g RAILROAD LANDS.

The Reno Gdsett. determinedly OPP
poses the proposition VI having Gov
eminent ~re-aequirs the sole ownership
Of the alternate sections Of the lands
lying along the Pacific Railroad, which
were granted in aid Of the construction
Of the road. 1t remarks as follows:
II Is known fact that the company has
sold all Of its desirable lands within the
boundaries proposed. and that what re-
mains il not worth ON an average % cents
an acre. The lands sold have brought
good price. and tho company has very
properly derived handsome returns there
from, but to turn around and give the
Government the refuse lands at q big
price, and have the proposition advocated
because the State divides the spoils with
the monopolists. In their robbery Of the
Government. does not comport with hon
esty or patriotism.
The Gdsstts Is wrong in saying that II
Is u known fact that the Company has
sold all its desirable lands. No doubt u
large proportion Of the best lands have
been disposed Of, but It Is a known fact
that thousands Of acres Of excellent land
remains, which would be very desirable
II II was all under one ownership and n
title could be acquired at q fair rate.
The price for those alternate sections
within the forty-mile belt Was fixed by
Government at 80 80 per acre. II they
are worth only half Of that. or even no
more than two bits m acre On the aver
age. as the Gal,te asserts. the NEWS Is
in favor ot paying nc more. We simply
contend that Government should buy
those alternate sections Of railroad land
Mt whatever IL il worth. believing that II
would be Of essential advantage to this
State, the nation and the people at large.

Wa PROTEST.

Judge Parkinson, in the Carson Tsib"@e,
calls John Morrissey 1.-THE broken nose
Democratic Statesman" Now, Judge.
how could you find II in your honest Old
soul TO say thaty Don't you know hal the
broken nose Aforesaid led the Republican
hosts TO victory in the recent election IN
the Seventh Senatorial District Of New
York Cityr Morrissey Is now your man.
not ours.-Earcka SsHibssi.
Now this is too bad. Republicans
have stood patiently for many years the
BLACKBOARD accusations Of bowling DEM
ocrats. We have listened calmly to the
assertion that We had bankrupted the
nation by mourning u debt to put down
a Democratic rebellion; w have WINGED
not when we have been told that We
were supporting n standing army to
crush tho liberties Of the people. Nay,
whom II is shrieked In our ears that we
are starving the wives AMI children Of
the laborsrs in our efforts to secure tho
nations honor and redeem the nations
plishtsd faith. We have borne the i'm.
putation with u fortituds which only
philosophy aud n strong consciousness
Of right and tho justice OF our grand
cause could have inspired. But this
last thrust is too much. We cannot
stand calmly by and see ourselves point.
sd out a. companions Of thieves. would
be murdsrsrs and professional prize
fighters; aud John Morrisssy is all
these. We do not wonder that Brother
Cassidy Is ashamed to be found in COM
pany with him. and is willing to foist
him upon us. But ii won't do. In the
first place. We don't want him. In the
second place. he shrinks from contact
with principles based on justice and
human rights rs the murder-r shrinks
from the halter. lie is no associate for
the men who make mp the great Repub-
lican party. We pride ourselves upon
principle. John Morrissey has none,
and never had any.
The "broken nose Brother CASH
dy, did M, "lead the Republican hosts
to victory" in the New York election.
He led the anti Tammsny Democrats to
victory against the nominee OF John
Kelley. He mado u breach in his own
party, aud led his followers-the worst
elements Of the Dsmocracy-to victory
He succeeded by the aid Of the pick
pockets and rufians OF the Seventh San
atorial District. men Of his " class,
and who swear by him. fight for him
and kill for him. in defeating Augustus
Schsll. who Is at least a gentleman
There should lie some honor. even in
politics. and Il 10 not honorable to en-
deavor to kill the Republican party by
Identifying it with n blaeklsg and u bull
ly. In the name Of justice, we protest,
Anything but that.

In relation to the appropriation by the
County Board of 5000, to send some
one to Washington is we'll timed, and
meets the approval of every one outside
the ring. The act Is utterly without au-
thority of law, and the officer who
yields up the money OF the county will
be personally responsible for it TO the
Taxpayers of King county. But the
whole scheme is visionary 80 far as any
possible useful end can be subserveed.
1t must mean something else. Some
one must be gong to Washington to get
some office, judicial or otherwise, and
have his expenses paid by the gulls
for woo is ninny enough. unless he be
gull, to suppose that any one can be
sent, who will have one hundredth part

his heels and rubbing his hands in the

Egyptian troops with the object Of
cutting of the communications of the
Russians With Bessarabia. Simultsne.
ously eight Turkish steamers have re-
ceivcd orders to disembark their forces

Montenegrin outposts report that the

lars and several thousand irregulars,
have begun . movement on Drodriak.
The Montenegro force. entirely made
quate to oppose them. will fall back for
protection Of the inhabitants until re-
Inducements arrive. Every detail of
their preparations shows that the Rus
SLAMS have made up their minds
for long war. and are pre-
pairing great depots of firewood.
The Roumanian Government is also
asking tenders for supplies of great
quantities of clothing and stores. A
rain Of less than twelve hours duration
rendered the reads at Sistova, over
which the Russian supplies are trans
ported, covered with mud and with
gaping holes ut frequent intervals. 1t
would be very difficult for the Russians
even to maintain their armies between
the Balkans aud the Danube when
summer weather breaks UP.
