ENCOURAGEMENT TO emil
GRANT FARMERS.
The Land-erant Decision


The preston against the shameful
swindlcs by which the railroads have
enriched themselves in the last few
years at the expense of the people
has at length forced the adlninistra-
ton into measure which will save
millions to the poor people settling
on the public domain. The lands
granted to the Pacific railroads, have
long been subject to control by the
government, but il is only to the
present that that control has been ex-
creised, That, it is done at this late
hour l. owing to no hearty sympa-
thy of Secretary Schurz with the peo-
pie but Is simply due to the respect
which the voice of the people is be-
ginning to awaken in Washington.
We give from the Springfield Mas
sdchusetts Republican, view of
the decision and its effects.
Secretary Schurz has re-asserted a
reserved but neglected right of the
people to enter upon lands granted
to railroads, at the presumption rate
Of 81 % per acre. The decision that
this right still exists is of great i'm
portance to the people who emigrate,
but strikes serious blow to the cred
it of the Pacific railroads. 1t has
been properly supposed that land
granted to the railroads was granted
forever, or until conveyed by them at
such prices rs they saw fit to ask.
Mr.. Schurz asserts on the contrary
that according to law, at the expira-
ton of three years after the compile
ton of the road, the land grant not
previously disposed of falls under
the presumption law of the United
States and may be taken up at land
offices by actual settlers i'm the usual
way at Sl.25 per acre, the proceeds
to be turned by the Government
TO the railroad.
The importance of this decision.
which has clear provision oflaw for
its basis, is immense. We compile
the following table to show the prin-
cipal railroads now completed for
more than three years, with undis-
posed-of grants, together with the is
sues of bonds which are secured by a
mortgage of these lands:

T,She mortality among children in
New Orleans from yellow fever is
something new, and il has led physi-
clans TO question the genuineness of
the yellow fever cases. This phe-
nominal infant mortality is now being
attributed the action Of carbolic acid
and with much show of justice. Our
readers will recollect that two weeks
ago we called attention TO the danger
of using disinfectants too freely. A
special telegram TO the Negs shows
that physicians are beginning to re-
alize the danger. II says: "The
carbolic acid is TO many physicians
diabolical disinfectant. Many of
these physicians believe that ON ac-
count of the excessive sensitiveness
of the infantile brain the mortality
among children, so unusually great,
is directly traceable TO The fumes of
the acid"

The Immigrant bonds of the Cen
trail and Union Pacifics are secured
solely by a mortgage of the lands. A
portion of the Immigrant bonds of
the Kansas Pacific are also lien on
about 2i0 miles of railroad. 1t has
been the policy of these roads to ex-
tinguish their issues of land-grant
bonds with the proceeds of the sales
of land, but II has been slow pro-
cess. In the last IS months the
Union Pacific has reduced its land
grant debt only S375,O0O. The
same corporation has sold in all
about 100000 acres at an average
price between five and six dollars.
The sales for 1873 by the Union Pa
cific amounted TO 69,OoG acres at an
average of SI.9S per acre. Hence
forth, if Mr.. Seizures decision stands.
none of these lands can be sold for
more than Sl.25 per acre. Asa large
portion of the grants is not available
for settlement AT all, this decision
greatly reduces the revenue from
land sales and correspondingly the
security for the debts for which the
land is pledged. On the other hand,
the people will now have at 81. % per
acre what the railroad has been ask
ing 81. 9S for.

Steam On Ccmnren Roads.

Now, thirty years after the defeat of
the intelligent, courageous and persist
ent Hancock and his co-workers in the
scheme of applying the steam engine
usefully on the common road, we find
strong indications that, in a new form,
the problem has been again attacked
and at least partially solved. 1t was
formerly supposed that success in the
transportation of passengers by steam
on p~ost-routes would lead to the appli-
cation of that motor to the movement
of heavy loads. and TO agricultural pur-
poses generally. When, after so long a
tiial, the experiment finally seemed to
have failed of success, it was believed
that steam could not be applied to
heavier work on common roads. AS we
have now seen, however, il appears
probable that the inventors of that day
attacked the problem at the wrong end,
and that, on the common road, the
transportation of heavy loads by steam
being accomplished with economical
success, under ordinarily favorable cir
cumstances, it may prove Introductory
to the use Of steam in carrying passen-
gers and light freight at higher vcloci-
ties.
One of the most important Of theprc-
requisites to ultimate success in the
substitution of steam for animal power
